tramps, who are essentially
such. For the most part ol
them are tradeSmen, printers,
cigarma kcrs, tailors, carpen.
ters, plumbers, bakers, railroad
ers and the like, who are con-
stantIy drifting. They may
never use the "blind baggage,
the "side door pullman or
walk; perhaps they never ask
or receive cent in charity, but
they are tramps to all intents
and purposes. They work in a
town until they are tired of it,
and then move on. In this way
they travel all over the Union,
sometimes all over the world.
A great majority of these
tramps in time begin to tire of
wandering, marry and settle
down and, by reason of their
worldly experience and contact
with the rough spots in the
road, invariably make good cit
izens. Sometimes with them
the rowing fever is strong and
hard to resist and it requires no
little determination to conquer
it, but the love of home most
often prevails. Many staid
citizen of this origin greets you
each day with a pleasant smile
and seems absolutely content,
when in fact he would walk
around a block to keep from see
ing a bluebird, and the whistle
of every outgoing train makes
him sniff the air like war
horse. 1t awakens the gypsy
instinct, which is the hardest
of all to efface, but which when
accomplished leaves something
worth the while. 1t is hard to
fool that kind of man. He
has been up against so much
deviltry that it must wear a
thick mask to deceive him. At
the same time his charity is
broad and his impulses gener-
Gus.
Whiskey is the maker of
buns. 1t lies in wait tor the
tramp, as it does for all the rest
of humanity. Whenever it
steals away manhood and self
respect, the remainder is a bum,
a derelict upon the sea of hu-
manity and the most wretched
thing that humanity knows.
There is little hope for the bum.
Every hand is raised against
him, including his own. Re-
form is always impossible. 1t
cannot be educated or legiS-

lated into him. He drifts hither
and thither as the winds list, it
makes no difference to him.
Sooner or later he falls by the
wayside and there is no one to
mourn, for the world is better
off without him. Somebody
loved him once, but that time
is long since passed, and it is
now bare tossu if God loves
him, so far has he fallen.
There are in every community
buns who are more dangerous
to society than the poor unfor
tunates who are dritted about
by the gales of fate They
have no visible means of sup
port, yet they live and would
feel insulted if called by their
right name. Some of these
buns are supported by wo-
man S industry or a woman's
shame. Some of them are sup
ported by friends who knew
them when they bore resem
blanCe to men.
The worst bum of all is the
one who pretendS to some hon
orable occupation in order to
beat somebody who is foolish
enough to trust him. He has
no conception of honor or puri-
ty and is for sale not to the
highest bidder but to the first
bidder, and is the most danger
Gus because the best disguised.
The professional bum is an en-
emy only to himself, while the
other kind is an enemy to him
self and everybody else
The respeCta BILE mendicant is
no better than the respectable
bum. He trims his sail to every
breeze, and is without backbone
or principle of his own. He
leaves the pew of the redeemed
to become the servant of the
brothel and the lawless, in order
to build up his business. He
attacks honesty of purpose from
behind tree, and to accomplish
his purpose, all methods are
fair. His aim is shrouded in a
fair cloak, but his hand is raised
against all that is clean. No
mans reputation is safe with
him, if he can help his business
in any way by smirching it,
His apparent respectablllty
makes him the most dangerous
bum of all.

Johan Hoch, who by his own con-
fession is several times bigamist,
who was charged by the police with
having married 40 women in the past
10 years, was found guilty of murder
and the death penalty was recon-
mended by the jury in Judge Kor-
stems Chicago court. The crime for
which Hoch will be led to the gal
lows was the murder of his last known
wife, Mrs. Mary Walker Hoch. Hoch
had been married to this woman but
few days when she became suddenly
i'll and died. He then formed an al
lance with the sister Of the dead
woman, securing the latter's money,
and fled from Chicago The verdict
was one Of the quickest on record in
Chicago, the jury having reached a
decision in less than half an hour.
Three ballots were taken. Hoch's at
torneys will ask for a new trial al
though the condemned man, after
reaching his cell, declared that he was
ready to die and would be better salts
fled If they did not make an effort to
save him.

lance, have this japanese admiral
and his commanders held up to the
world
When the first division Of the Rus-1
slams passed Singapore, and on into
the eastern seas, how loud was the
cry. how repeated the advice from the
naval experts" who, in every ma
ton, were teaching Admiral Togo his
business, to go and meet them before
the second division, with more battle
ships, was added to their force As
the Russians loitered along the French
possessions, .coaling here, shipcleaning
there, filling up with supplies every
where, and setting all the diplonatists
agog, tempting attacks as all men
thought, still there was neither word
nor sign from the quiet man who had
withdrawn himself and all his men to
their waiting place in unknown seas.
Fancy the nerve-destroying suspense Of
those Russians, as each day the sun
rose on an untenanted horizon, and
the dark nights passed silently, with
no searchlight flashing messages across
the sky. Fogs surrounded them in
that gray sea, but with the CLEANS no
cruisers showed themselves to count
their mum bers and note their prepar-
ations for the fight. Were they borne
down by the conviction that wiles and
strategems were useless, and that to
prolong the horrible voyage was to
exhaust coal? If they went by the
northern passages through still mar
rover and shallower straits, the en-
emy would follow parallel along the
shorter and straight route. Or, did
they feel the desperation that throws
all issues on single cast? The short
est, the main travelled and best chart
ed channel let it be, then, and have
the agony over.
So between Goto and Quelprat, right
through the Corean Channel the Rus
sian steered. But to the waiting ad-
versary every island and its outlying
rocks, every headland that would hide
torpedo boats or submarine, every tide
and current in the straits, every land
mark on either side, lay plain as print
ed book. on, though by each mile he
neared the great port and harbor
where refitting and repairs stood ready
for every injured vessel of the Japan
ese--where coal and ammunition lay
stored in vast abundance for every
need. So the Russians came to Togo,
as he had planned and foreseen they
must, at his determined place, in his
appointed fashion. Read the terse
dispatch: "In double columns" bat
tleships and cruisers in each, with
long list of names which we have fol-
lowed from the Baltic to the Corean
sea to their destined doom.
Then see how destruction came i'm
partially on the right hand and the
left. Sunk, captured, dispersed.
Unless all forecast fails, in the bloody
waters of the Corean Channel, there
sunk the domination of Russia over
the shores of the Pacific.

DEFEAT OF TnE RUSSIAN ARMY.
portland Oregonian.

iLOibAuuu OIoBuuldus
The Russian has been beaten by the
Japanese. Victory SO complete, so
overwhelming against size and num-
bers, has not been recorded since the
great days of August, 1913, when the
yellow flag of Spain was driven from
the British Channel. Not since Trafal-
gar has the fate of nations hung ON so
well balanced an issue. But the
world was smaller in those days.
While the ships were at sea the people
held their breath and waited in dark
ness, ignorance and helplessness for
the event. There were then no wire
less telegraphs and electric cables to
note the passage and the stopping
places of the ships which carried their
nations fortunes Swift frigates were
the only eyes of the admirals, and
fleets passed each other in the night
and left no trace. Winds and cur
rents played the main parts in the
great drama. Seamanship more than
gunnery, bulldog courage more than
the science of the chemist and the en-
gineer, were decisive agents when the
sail-clad ships maneuvered for the
weather gage, and he who laid his
ship closest alongside his enemy and
fired muzzle to muzzle till his guns
were too hot to handle carried off the
prize,
Now the victory comes to him who
waits, and strategy as we'll as tactics
govern the fight. What lesson in
calm, immovable patience and self-re-

PRIZE POEM ON THE "rRAlL.'

John Malcolm Graham is the win
ner of the 800 prize offered by /. N.
Fleischner, vice president and chair
man of the committee of publicity Of
the Lewis and Clrak fair, for the best
poem on "The Trail.
The identity of John Malcolm Ora
ham, the successful author, is un.
known to the judges who made the de-
cision or to the committee of publicity
who will award the prize. It is be,
lieved the name was assumed in order
to conceal the identity of the author.
The poem follows:
The call comes strong and insistent
Out of the west--oh, bark
Follow through hail or sun the trail
Blazed by Lewis and Clark ~
On with the blanket and saddle,
Ride like the devil possessed,
Swift on the way by night and day;
Hit the trail to the westl
Sting Of the wind in our faces,
Crushing of hoofs on sand,
Whate'er betide, pause not, but ride
Strait to the promised land.
Whiteness of sails on the ocean,
Cleaning Of gold in the hills,
Glory of grain on the harvest vain,
Upcurling smoke from the mills.
OFF with the saddle and blanket,
Kindle our heartht1re's spark,
Here's ali hail to the westward trail

In the sisterhood Of Oregon counties
Umatille should take no second place
at the Lewis and Clark fair.
What citizens would wish to hear
it said that Umatilla has failed to
make an effort at least, TO display her
wondrous resources among other
counties at the exposition? This
thought is sufficient warrant for the
county court to proceed with its work
of making an exhibit worthy of the
county.
This matter Of providing funds and
making an exhibit is not a Pendleton
affair--Milton. Weston, Freewater,
Athena, Adams, Helix, Pilot Rock,
Echo, Umatilla--every point in the
county is virtually interested in seeing
first class county exhibit, and the
resolution passed by the commercial
association encouraging the county
court in its work and inviting other
commercial bodies in the county and
the citizens in general to do likewise.

spirit Of progressive and proud peo-
pie.

The Baker City Herald is to be resur-
rected. This time E. P. Dodd and
Mr.. Booth, the life insurance agent
have joined hands to make the ghost
walk. There is evidently field in
Baker City for an evening paper, but
up to the time of its latest demise the
Herald has failed to cultivate the field
with any success. The paper has
turned up its toes to the daisies"
several times in the past few years
and the plant has been disposed of in
job lots until the remnants of what
was once a well equipped print shop
are scattered throughout the land from
b. G. to the Mexican border. The
Walla Walla Union is printed on the
big Cottrell press that once stood in
the Herald press room, and the East
Oregonian is overhauling a "Merg"
that it bought for a song. Another
Mergenthaler and Balliett's trade
mark is about all there is left for Mr..
Dodd to start in with, but being a
young man of push and perseverance,,
and drawing conclusions frem what
he has done with the Pendleton Tri-
bune, we believe he has the ability to
go some in the Baker City newspaper
field.

selling milk in that city to become
certified dairies. Every dairyman is
to purchase license, the same as
truckmen and peddlers. The differ

license will agree to comply with. a
law requiring them to maintain clean
