amount of work attempted There Is such thing as too much work. The Board should divide itself into com mittees for work and should not make the trained worker try to do it all She finally urged that when a work was attempted, it should not be abandoned until another to do the work was found.
 Miss Rosa Lowe, the City Missionary in charge of the work among the mill people in Atlanta. Ga. said that the work was successful because the mill owners, the city officials, and the Board. are willing and anxious to aid the missionary.
 The mill owners have erected a twenty-six room house, where day nursery, a kindergarten, a Sunday school, and nigh school are main tained. A choir has been organized and has proved immensely popular mothers and housekeepers and medl- cal dispensary and physician are man. tained.
 Mill people are spendthrifts, she said, ard to stop this evil she had introduc- cd a savings bank. Some of the chill dren now have small bank accounts.
 A circulating library has also been installed and through this means the children are cultivating a taste Tor good literature.
 Mrs. Ella Riser, in charge of the mission work in Augusta. Ga, report ed 8 successful year. The Sabbath School is very efficient but the better class seems to be crowding the lower class out.
 In the mill settlement a small cot tage is maintained in which to give the operatives entertainments and uplift the people, who hitherto had taken no interest In anything except the drudg- cry Of the mill.
 She reported the kindergarten doing good work and the mothers club Is doing well, except that an inability of the women to read, prevents progress to a certain extent.
 She said that it was heartrending to see the negroes going to school and the white people, preferring to work in a mill and not taking advantage Of the night schools organized especially for them.
 With great eloquence Miss Kiser de- manded an organized movement for

The services opened with the song. GO Labor On, Spend and Be spent following which Rev. MT. Sexton of Dallas. Tex. offered prayer.
 If Dr. Bradley took text at all, it was contained in the admonitions of Christ, Go preach glad tidings, of the words of St. Paul, Neither Jew nor Greek, bond or free, male or fe- male," and the inspiring teachings of Peter about adding faith, virtue. knowledge, patience, brother love and kindness. He summed up the whole in the word Fraternity" as the key word for the evangelization of the cit- les and the world.
 Among the first things said by the speaker was to charge that in not one single instance in the Old Testament Is the spirit of fraternity and brother hood taught. To the Greek all others were barbarians, and to the Jew those not of his class were "Gentile dogs" That idea could never be the saving idea of the world. nor could humanity look to the religion of the Jew for the salvation of mankind.
 To the parable of the talents the speaker gave new meaning. He said it was illustrative of the nations .n the old day. Egypt gave of It's lelrn- ing to the world, Greece of its art, and Rome of it's law and ideals of citizen ship. But the Jew closed himself up, buried his one talent in a rag in the earth, and the Lord took it away en- tirely. There was not known Frat r. nity, freedom and equality. The wo- man was an inferior and put lway at will as nobody.
 Into a social and political status like this came Jesus Christ preaching the Fatherhood of God and the Broth erhood of Man.
 The speaker had a good word for the secret societies
 T am a Mason." he said but still you hear that my obligation does not bind me to do more for a Mason than any other person of like condition.
 He said he was sorry the good old practice of calling each other broth CT" and Sister" had gone out. He would be happy if all felt the obliga- ton to clasp hands with every other person. Episcopal Presbyterian. Bap- tist, Catholic or Jew, and call them by these fraternal terms, yea he would

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Work of the City Mission Boards is
 Reviewed.

Reviewed. The afternoon session was called to order at 1:3O o'clock by Mrs. Smith, First Vice-President.
 After devotional service, Miss Mary Helm for the Committee on City Mis- sions made a report She said that the City Mission Department had been reported on fully by the secretary. She wanted to call the attention of the Board. however. to the increase in paid workers and greater increase in Volun- teer workers. During the year six new City Mission Boards were organiz ed and the Mission Board a Brming ham was compelled to cease work.
 Many of the City Mission Boards are without paid missionaries There has been marked fidelity and spirit to help the City Mission Boards by the auxiliaries evidenced by the number of volunteer workers.
 Under power vested by the Board. the Committee on City Missions was au- thorixed to hold institutes. especially on the Gulf Cost and a number were held with marked success. The report was accepted and City Mission appointments will be made to- day.
 Miss Mabel Howell of Kansas City made suggestions as to City Mission work She gave advice as to the NlSlllnB or the poor ana the lOCdllon ol the missions. She said that the work CTS should consult with people who are familiar with the conditions and urged the appointment of a travelling secre- tary of City Missions.
 She said that a City Mission must work in conjunction with church, but should not depend on the church | to do mission work. Miss Howell ad- vised specialization of work and the worker should seek out how best to benefit the particular needs of com | munlty
 She called attention to the difficulty
 of maintaining boys clubs. The clubs are easy enough to organize but at the end of the week, the worker wish they had not attempted the task. Instead of being an "unhoused gang 1t becomes housed gang" The workers must exercise the greatest patience and diplomacy.
 Day nurseries should not be estab- lished unless there is a need of such an institution and City Missionaries should not be treated as servants These women have devoted years of their lives for training and are no more servants to a City Mission Board than the pastor of a church Is the eongrega- tion's servant.
 She advocated using caution in the

DIR. BRADLEY SPEAKS.
Atlanta Minister Addressed WOmun's
 Mission Board.

Perhaps the sermon or address of pr. H. $. Bradley, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of Atlanta, al the Court Street Methodist Church, last night, as a part of the program of the Woman's Mission Board session was one of the most practical yet heard by d Montgomery audience along the lines of a call to active ser vice to mankind
 He did not mince words. neither did he fail to say that many of the prac- tices now in vogue by the churches are entirely out of line with what the Sa- vior would have had if he had been outlining the work to be done.
 pr. Bradley spoke from the general subject of the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man. as applied to city mission work, under the head of which he was speaking. He believed that the Christ idea of fraternity was one that would bridge over the chasm of Protestantism and grasp the hand of Catholic or look into the Judaism of the past, and be brother to a lew. Yea, he would follow the idea out and grasp the hand of the old negro, black and ignorant, and call him brother.

Five thousand dollars has been raised Tor an additional dormitory and white brick was donated for the building. The building has been furnished and ls insured.
 The response to the personal appeal of Miss Bennett for furniture was prompt and full. She told of the texts and the names of the donors of the furniture for the rooms. Miss Bennett made special mention of the generosity of Mrs. Ella Keener of New Orleans. who donated the furnishings of two rooms, in addition to her other liberal

 Dr. Bradley said he would not lay much stress on creed. He loved the Methodist creed but doubted very mu3h if Christ would adopt it if he were to come again on the earth. Christ had no creed and was not bound around by any such limitations.
 He pleaded for workers to go out and save the needy and he looked to a happy time when every one would be willing to do his duty along this line.

WHICH Is THE GREATER EVIL?

John A. Mccall, president of the
New York Life Insurance company,
gave away hundreds of thousands of
dollars of the policy-holders' money
to defeat Bryan, because as he says,
the election of free silver president
would have reduced the values of the
property of the policy-holders.
Would the reduction in values of
the property of the policy-holders
have been as great under a free silver
administration as it has been through
the thievery of John A. Mccall and
his associates? Mccall has robbed the
policy-holders to perpetuate the
money power, but how much better
off is the policy-holder than If Bryan
had been elected eight years ago, and
had instituted this investigation and
stopped the robbery of the policy
holders by Mccall and the other
thieves at that time?
1t is not certain that values Woulu
have been reduced under free Sill
yer administration. 1t is certain that
values have been reduced by thieVery
Mccall bought immunity from investi'
CATION by giving money with which tc
defeat Bryan. Where do the policy
holders get off at?

LESS TALK AND MORE WORK.

The East Oregonian has refrained
from censuring Chief of Police Coff-
man for his failure to stop gambling
in this city in the past. fos the reason
that the chief of police is young man
and absolutely in the control of Inc
older and more culpable city council
which appointed him.
But the chief must not try u hood
wink anybody with soft soap about
being unable to find any gambling
games The East Oregonian believes
that Mr.. Coffman is too effic' 1T 10 be
ignorant of the places where gambling
is conducted every day and night. It
believes that he knows the identical
persons who play at thoss places.
If Mr.. Cpffman does his duty and
quits talking to hOodwink PEOPLE, he
has a long and valuable official career
before him, because he is fitted by
nature for his work. But IL he at
tempts to fool the business men and
masses of the people of Pendleton In
order to allow gambling to run he Will
be soon cut off from public service
Honesty is always commendable, nc
matter II it does jeopardize his job.
Within the past 10 days inforI-a'
ton against Is persons who have beer
caught in the act of gambling ha:
been filed with the district attorney
II is not possible that the chief o
nolice is so derelict in his duty tina
these wide open games are being ruI
without his knowledge.
II Mr.. Coffman wishes to befrien'
the gamblers and give them a tip be
fore he makes raid" let him do 81
on the quiet. But it is useless to max
any statements about gambling beinj
suspended. Everybody knows this
not true.
II is a late day in the city admins
tration, anyway, to begin to suppress
gambling now. If the motives of tn
chief of police or council were honest
the matter would have been attende
to over a year ago, when the peopl
first asked for it.

FARMERS WISE IN PROSPERITY

There are interesting items compile
mentary to that wonder story OF the
wears crops which was reviewed re-
Gently in the Sunday World.
on the strength of their s75'OOO'Ooo
worth of corn the farmers of Kansas
are buying automobiles and modern
izing their homes. The farmers and
stockraisers of the Dakotas are in
dulging themselves likewise. In addi-
tion to record breaking yields oil
wheat corn and oats they have the
joyful contemplation of a $6O,OOO,O ,OOO
harvest of cattle.
In their discouraging years the
farmers of the middle west betray &C.
centricities of political reasoning. In
their prosperous seasons they are
brethren of wisdom, with practical
yearnings for the up-to-date. Besides
automobiles they are now investing In
trolley lines, which will return moi
only conveniences, but dividends. The
use Of the neighborhood telephone
circuits they have reduced to a fine
social science.

belt leods the lonesome life these day.

JAPs AND YAQUIs.

Mexico has made arrangements with
a japanese colonization company to
settle large number of veterans of
the Russian war in the valleys that
are harried by the Yaquis The Jap
anese are to be given the confiscated
lands of the Indians they are to farm
them and prevent the former owners
from carrying off supplies from those
valleys to their retreats in the noun
tains.
The Japanese will live in colonies;
they will all be well armed and it is
assumed they will be able to defeat
the Indians when the latter descend
upon them.
The undertaking is likely to be much
more trying than the campaign against
the Russians. The Yaqui is as fear
less as the Japanese and he can shoot
as we'll. consequently the men from
the island empire may find they have
ulutEldhtI Il ulIu tplNldCl'
1t will be interesting to watch the
result of this experiment. For many
years the Yaquis have defied and de-
feated the Mexicans. The latter have
never succeeded in subduing them,
though temporary truces have been
made with them.
Again and again the Indians have
risen and slaughtered the Mexican
troops, fleeing to Businesses in the
hills to which they could not be sue
cessfully pursued.
The japanese are not expected to
pursue them, but they are expected to
hold the lands and prevent the In
dams from securing supplies, thus
starving them into submission.
The Yaqui. like any other creature,
is no doubt more resourceful and dar-
ing when he is hungry than when he
is well fed, and he may give the Jap
veterans no end of trouble in carrying
out the contract.

REPRESENTATIVES, NEEDED.

II oregon is to be represented IN
the coming session of congress. the
people will have to make some pro-
vision.
Why not call mass meeting Of the
people in different parts of the state
10 select a delegation of citizens to go
n congress to represent the states in
terests.
Such a committee sent by the people
would probably be recognized by con-
oross and would be admitted to the
floor of the house and senate but
without a vote.
II would be better for Oregon to be
thus placed on the plane of Arizona
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Alaska
than to be left wholly without repre-
sentatives of any sort
The state has immense interests al
stake. 1t will be disastrous to allo"

improvements and other special pup
uc questions must be attended to.

is ADMINISTRATION HONEST
LY PROSECUTING TRUSTS?

The Lewiston Tribune. one of the
most influential Independent papers
in the inland empire. thus censurcs
the Roosevelt administration for its
failure to honestly prosecute the vora-
cious trusts:
President Roosevelt Is said to be
bent upon federal regulation of the in
surance companies and is now en-
gagged In preparing strenuous CHAP
ter on the subject in his forthcoming
message,
Aside from the question as to
whether federal. regulation would be
a good or Il bad thing, the record al
ready made by the present adminstra-
tion is enough to conviice fairminded
men of the danger of granting any
further power or opportunity to the
men now operating the. government
business.
If nothing else We're at hand the
inability or unwillingness of the ad-
ministration to render Il square deal
To the people is shown in the compro-
mise of the beef trust cases and the
withdrawal of the railway rebate
cases by which justice has been given
Il severe setback and the presidents
character revealed in a different light
from what had been expected from his
lofty deliverances on public morality
and duty.
In the beef cases no influential man
among the self-confessed criminals
has been sent to Jail for violating the
law and no intelligent person doubts
Z IN nf no
posed on the defendants will have to
be paid by the people who consume
beef and whom the defendants have
so long and so grievously oppressed.
The only result of the administration
policy, as far as can be seen, will be
to raise the price of beef.
II may be that the beef trust and
other trusts are good things, as young
Jimmie Garfield reports, and ought
not to be punished or deferred; we
are passing no judgment as to that.
The president, however, has fire.
quently and vehemently testified that
there were two kinds of trusts, good
and bad, and that the bad would not
be spared at his hands in the enforce
ment of the law.
The beef trust is the only one so
far declared bad by the courts, which
found it to be a monopoly and en-
Joined it from further practicing it,
restraint of trade. For disregardinG
this injunction and continuing to exer-
else a monopoly of the meat business
the principals have been fined a total
of $4,000. or about one per cent OF
its Unlawful profits for one month.
If the administrations object is to
deter unlawful and oppressive prac-
tices. obviously such proceedings as it
has taken will not deter. but will en-
courage and sustain.

THE RED FLAG.

There's flag all nations ken,
And a flag no nation owns;
1t springs from the blood of murder
ed men
And is fluttered by women's groans.
When the suffering peoples rise
No blazons their ensign vaunts,
But bright before open eyes
The dread flag, the red flag flaunts.
'Tis the flag of the barricade,
The flag of the blood-run street,
When the rulers by bullet and blade
Their embattled subjects meet;
When might is no longer right
The tyrant is no longer a god;
When the trooper turns in fright
From the peasant he deemed clod.
The red flag waves, and the red
cock crows
As the blazing palaces crash;
Forgotten a peoples thousand woes
For joy of the musket's flash.
Death to the tyrant!" rings the cry,
"Freemen or corpses wei"
When the dread red flag is lifted high
And a trampled folk fights free.
