To Amend San Domingo treaty.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The Santo

back to the committee on foreign re-

understood that it is the desire of the
administration that the treaty be mod

thorizing the president to send an
armed force to Santo Domingo, if at
any time necessary to preserve peace

In sweet October's short'ning days
When comes the purple, smoky haze
OF many an Indian summer Morn,
When through the rustling blades Of
corn
The winsome winds Of autumn play
No trace Of winter, cold and gray
Then fancy takes a backward fight,
Forgotten pleasures come to light,
The fun and frolic, rigid rule,
OF childhood's joy-the country school!
The course Of study was not high,
But small boys oft were made to sigh,
With eyes upon the dog-eared book,
Not daring otherwheres to look;
''The rule Of three" they pondered Ger,
And sadly unused on Webster's lore;
McGuntey's Readers were the Joy
OF every story loving boy
The teacher at his desk and stool
Was car and sultan in the school!
But minds Oppressed would soon rebound,
When came the call Of 'fox and hound !"
And ''townball'' had its devotees,
Who scorned all games that proffered
ease;
With laughing eye and rosy cheek
The girls would play at "hide and seek."
When "books" were called with tinkling
bell
A thirsty crowd stood round the well,
Waiting their parched lips to cool
Before the grind of country school!
Where are the boys who played with me
In long gone days of used to BET"
All, some are sleeping, calm and still,
BY Salem church-on Goshen hill!
And some are living, brave and strong
To lift their voice against all wrong,
And in the pulpit or the pew
Uphold the good, stand by the true
Thank God for all-ths kindly rule,
And lessons learned In country school!

Defines State Position.

Later in the day kilograms were sent
to Congressman Jones, Humphrey and
Cushman, notifying them of the mes
sage sent to the senators and stating
in addition that, should the secretary
of the interior decide to purchase the
Sunnyside canal and agree to carry out
all that company's contracts, except
the one with this state (which is to
irrigate Cary act lands above referred
toy. it. would be considered here an
unwarranted and improper exercise of
the discretionary power the law gives
to the secretary. In the evening Com
missioner Ross wired to Representa-
tive Jones as follows:
Have received kilograms from all
members of the delegation. They are
all alike. Ask Senator Piles or, Sena-
tor Ankeny for copy of dispatch from
the governor himself.
Il challenge any man to give one
sound reason why the state should be
deprived of the Cary selections, wheth-
er the secretary purchase the Wash
ington Irrigation Company's property
or not
If the secretary refusse to approve
the states selections, the state having
complied with every requirement, l
consider it denial of the absolute
rights of the state and an abuse of the
secretary's discretionary powers.
Il regret the failure of my attempts
to confer with the congressional dele
cation on the subject during the sum-
mer vacation. Will go to Washing
ton. D. c., if you think it advisable.
The United States can not posi-
bly, lose one dollar by the approval of
the states lists and the assumption of
the states contract if the secretary
purchases the Sunnyside canal, assum-
ing contracts. On the contrary, the
state loses approximately half mil
hon dollars

Message to Delegation.

Gov. Mead and Commissioner Ross
promptly sent the following emphatic
telegram to Senators Piles and Ankeny:
I'VE are entirely without informa-
ton as to what the secretary of the
interior has done or proposes to do.
Has he purchased Sunnyside canal?
Has he ordered extension of canal so
as to reclaim all Cary selections, or
does he propose to construct only Led
better branch covering about one
third? If he has purchased Sunny
side canal and assumed it's contracts,
why can not he also assume state's
contract whit hat company? There is
nothing in the way. asssss
1T will be easier for the government
to deal with the state than with hun
dreds of individuals. Cary selections
reimburse the government the same as
other lands, individual and state. Our
Cary selections are worth half mil
lion dollars to the state and the Unit
ed States loses nothing. The Cary
act has cost the state about $50, 1000.
State has complied with every require
ment and we can now adjust matters
so that the government will be neither
delayed nor INSTRUCTED. Secretary
and reclamation service have not fur
nished any information. See resolu-
tons by representatives of commercial
bodies and clubs adopted at Yakima,
July 8, also by National Irriagtion
Congress, Portland.
I'VE cannot conceive any reason
why the state should lose these lands.
Will come to Washington to deal with
matter if you desire. Please furnish
copy to members congressional dele

NORTH COAST LIMITED
Held UP BY ROBBERS

Spokane, Dec. 18.-The North Coast
Limited, westbound, was held up and
robbed fifteen miles, west of North
Yakima, Saturday night. Two masked
men compelled the engineer to stop
the train, run the locomotive, mail
and express cars half a mile west of
the balance of the train. The robbers,
it is stated, then compelled the engi-
neer, at the point of their guns, to set
off seven charges of dynamite, which
blew out the ends and sides Of the ex-
press. and shattered the through and
local safes, and decamped with the
contents.
Amount OF Plumber Unknown.
The amount of plumber obtained is
unknown. The contents of the through
safe are known only at terminal points,
the messenger not being in possession
of the information. No report has
been received of the contents Of the
safe, but it is believed to have been
light, as the train does comparatively
little local business.
The sheriffs of Yakima and Kittitas
counties have posses in pursuit of the
bandits. The passengers were not mo-
Tested, and no one was injured.

Religion the Hope Of the Negro.

Archbishop Glennon of st. Louis, in
recent sermon, declared that reli.
gious training was the chief hope for
the solution of the negro problem, and
that the black mans future would be
more secure when he ceased to be the
property of political bosses.
"Once the property of slave owners,
the black man is now the property of
politicians" he declared land it needs
the conquest of religion to make him
control his emotions, to devote himsell
to industry rather than to politics, and
to emancipate him from political sway.
The colored man is ruled largely by his
emotions. What he needs is training
of the heart, control of the emotions,
the complete conquest in him by the
moral law.
1T is only through a thorough re-
ligious training that this can be done.
Only through the dominant influence
of religion may a decent mode of life
be created for him.

the most tender-hearted of men, he was
of deeply religious nature, and he
had genuine horror of bloodshed. The
death of DEsterre, therefore, filled him
with remorse. When, on his way to or
from the Four Courts, he went by
Bachelors Walk, he always lifted his
hat and murmured a prayer for his ad-
Versary's soul, or for his own forgive
ness, on passing the house in which
DEsterre died. In later Years he wore
a black glove always on his right hand
when he received the Sacrament of
Communion That hand said he, once

Authority-Where Is It7

A dissatisfied reader wrote to the

the following reply:
"A reader" writes to ask: "Why is
The Oregonian hostile to Christianity
Further, why does The Oregonian

1t is wonder to The Oregonian that
it could be so misunderstood. No one
is hostile to Christianity. No one wish

The Oregonian wants definitions. 1t de-

yourself, agree with them when you get
them; but there are no others upon
which any large body of Christians is
thodox Christianity and it's meaning is
observed among adherents of each and
every Protestant denomination. Opin-
ion shades off from rigorous Presbyter-
ianism to widest Unitariansm.
Hence it is that outside the Roman
Catholic Church everything is merely
a matter of opinion. Through the Ro-
man Catholic Church you get apostol-

There are many who can't be called
