PLACE THE RESPONSIBILITY
EAST Oregonian. J

Visiting farmers who come to Port
land this year will ask what is being
done along the line of farm expert
ments in Oregon.
What will Portland answer? Why,
that through Portland's knocking and
Willamette valleys selfishness, the
experiment station in Eastern Oregon 8
richest valley has been abandoned.
School teachers and educators will
ask what is being done in the state to
train teachers for the public schools.
What will Portland answer?
Why, that through Portland's
knocking and Willamette valleys
selfishness all the normal training
schools in the state are to be closed
for lack of funds.
No wonder Eastern Oregon counties
are slow to place their exhibits and
take little interest in the fair. No
wonder they are discouraged and sick
at heart and are tagging behind in
disgust. The agitation in Portland
and the Willamette valley has caused
the states money invested in normal
schools and experiment farm in Eastern
Oregon to be withdrawn and those in
stitutions abandoned. Can Eastern
Oregon counties take very deep in
terest in working for the promotion of
Portland and her commercial expan-
sion, when Portland and her great
morning daily have caused such dis
aster to these outlying counties?
The Oregonian has roasted every
country paper that has dared to ques-
ton the fair management, yet that
paper is directly responsible for the
abandonment of the state experiment
farm and the closing of the normal
schools.
It's covert attacks on the institutions
by suggestions, innuendo and hints, has
caused handful of selfish Willamette
people to force the state to abandon
its Eastern Oregon institutions.
Let us not mince words but place
the responsibility where it belongs
and make the facts plain to visitors,
that they may know the truth.
Portland has ten times enough idle
money lying in her vaults to keep the
normal schools and the experiment.
farm alive until the next legislature
meets. But is one cent of it available
for the purpose? She does not want
to let them live.

WHIP THE wIFE-BEATER.

q. A. Wheeler in Oregonian.)
There will probably always be a
large class of intelligent, well-mean.
ing people, honest in their views, yet
seemingly incapable of seeing or con.
sidering but one side of a given sub
ject or question at time.
For instance, take the rank and file
of the prohibition party. They see
the horrors and evils of intemperance,
and the cry is, "There shall be nc
more liquor Sold" They never take
into consideration how to prevent Its
use, only it shall not be sold. So the
cry, "On to Richmond" goes on.
Then there are those who, when some
incarnate fiend is about to be hanged
for the murder of some innocent girl,
go around with a petition asking for a
pardon and carrying flowers to him in
his cell. While the poor old mother
of his victim, who, mourning the
loss of her child, who may have been
her only reliance for support and
comfort in this world, is never even
mentioned or thought of. 1t is the in
human wretch who is about to pay the
penalty of his crime who receives the
sympathy and pity of this class OF
tender hearted short-sighted sympa-
thizers.
A short time ago a drunken brute
in human form assaulted his wife
with revolver, pounding her on the
head, knocking her down, kicking her
in the stomach and would have killed
her but for the timely arrival of help,
And all because she refused to give
him deed to her property, SO he
could squander it at will. For his
crime he was sentenced by the court
to a term of two years in Folsom
Penitentiary. He now threatens his
wife when his term expires. In pub
lishing an account of the case, a local
paper heads the article with these
words: pays dearly for crime. .
Very likely the editor would have con.
sidered sentence of about four or si1
months a sufficient penalty for 81
trifing a--misdemeanor let us call it.
And this same Jail bird will no doubt
receive his quota of pity, pie and

GOOD ROADS VS.. FREE DELIVERY
DRY Goods Reporterl


In the United States the farmer is
"it." Every speaker or writer of the
greatness of this country extols the
agricultural element as the founda-
ton of its prosperity.
It is no wonder that after over a
hundred years, during which millions
and millions of dollars have been ap-
propriated for rivers, harbors, build
ings, subsidies and innumerable other
national, state and municipal enter
prises, none of which directly benefit
the farmer-it is no wonder we say
that the farmer is beginning to ask for
recognition when Uncle Sam distri-
butes his favors.
The first seemingly good opportuni-
ty for the country man to get direct
benefit from government appropria-
tions has been in the form of the rural
free delivery.
Granting that it is pleasant and
convenient to have ones mail handed
to him every day without the trouble
of driving to town for it, the fact re-
mains that the farmer is compare
lively small user of the mails. He
generally goes to town every few days
anyway, and he often has and does go
without mail delivery for a week
and isn't perceptibly injured thereby.
There are several things now lacking,
the securing of which would make
farming more enjoyable and more
profitable and all are as desirable or
more desirable than the free delivery
of mail.
Chief among those things lacking is
good roads. Next year the rural free
delivery will cause deficit of $780,
900, 900 in the postoffice department.
This $26, 900, 900 will be raised by tax
alton.
Wouldn't see, ZOO, 900 spent on good
roads be vastly more beneficial to the
farmerg Good roads shorten distanc-
es. Good roads will take the farmer,
his family, and most important of all.
his products, to the city in half the
time ard with half the trouble now
necessary.
Rural free delivery enables the
farmer to read more of town and out
side happenings. Coed roads will en-
able the farmer and his family to 20
to town and enjoy the real thing.

posies from a class of sympathetic
blind-in-the the-right-eye people.
Another case of similar import is
the McGinty whipping post case in
your city recently, which called ont
the remarks of f. N. Innes, published
iu the Oregonian, in which he de-
scri les the whipping of McGinty as
barbarous, brutal and of the most de-
moralizing character. His sensibil-
tiles are shocked to think of the
''bloody, torn pulp on McGinty's
back caused by the jailor's old black
snake. But how about the woman g
face that was hammered to bloody
pulp" and closed eye by McGinty's s
fist. Nothing barbarous and brutal
or demoralizing about that?
Mr.. Innes asks: "Will such pun
ishment improve the morals of such
low brute as this McGinty doubtless
ISL" answer: "No. Neither will
anything else improve his morals. 1t
can't be done" The only kind of
punishment that a brute in human
form can understand or realize and
the one that he will always remember
is the blacksnake well laid on the bare
back. And as demoralizing as it is,
it is a hundred fold less demoralizing
than the conditions which make the
whipping post necessary.

The Dry Goods Reporter, a trade
magazine, summarizing on benefits to
be derived from the Lewis and Clark
exposition, says commercially it is
beneficial, bringing people from the
eastern boundaries of the United
States to the far west, where they will
not only see the exposition but will
realize the vastness of our country
and learn of the great resources of the
west, its enlightenment and intense
energy. Undoubtedly many fallacies
will be overcome and new knowledge
will hasten the more the development
of the west. An exposition of this
magnitude serves as a clearing house
Of ideas for the whole world. It is
said that the comparison of ideas,
methods and results at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia in 1875 was
the one great factor which made
Grand Rapids one of the leading
furniture manufacturing cities of the
world. This is simply an example Of
the influence an exposition may have
and 1t is only one of the many that
might be mentioned. That the fair
has been so successfully launched is
tribute to the people of Portland and
Oregon, and without doubt the lessons
it teaches will be felt for years.

ATHENA, JUNE ...... % 1905

With commendable energy, the
agents and friends of the Eastern Ore
gon State Normal School are seeking
funds by popular loans from Umatilla
county citizens to be used in keeping
the school open for the two years in
tervening when the legislature again
meets. Will this meet with the
popular approval Of Yamhillers and
the Oregonian? Surely these bewhisk-
cred, perspicuous statesmen and their
knowledge box in the "tall tower" at
Portland, can have no recourse to the
initiative and referendum if Eastern
Oregon is successful in maintaining
the school at its own expense, in the
hope that the legislature will in time
refund the money. There is no tell
ing what they might do. Mayhaps
they have some time or other heard of
the term injunction. II they have,
they may seek the dictionary derivi-
tive thereof and try twist or two at
that. If supposition gets loose
among them, theory is liable to de-
volve, and il it does, you can depend
on Yamhill to quickly seize the reins
OF the state and attempt to give us
another lesson in economy.

A Jersey Pneumonia Cure.

De Smet News: Owing to the
prevalence of pneumonia and the
great mortality which attended
its ravages the past winter and
spring several boards of health
in northern New Jersey have been
taking measures against the di-
sease. The health Board of Little
Washington has published re-
medy which is said to be a sure
cure for pneumonia, and other
health boards are looking into
the matter With a view of having
the same thing published for the
good of the general public. The
infallible cure is:
Take six to ten onions, accord
ing to size and chop fine. Put in
a large spider over a hot fire,
thea add about the same quantity
of rye meal and vinegar enough
to form a thick paste. In the
meanwhile Stir it thoroughly,
letting it simmer FIVE or ten min
utes. Then put the mixture in a
cotton bag large enough to to
cover the lungs and apply to
chest as hot as patient can bear.
In about ten minutes change the
poultice and thus continue by re-
heating the poultices, and in a
few hours the patient will be out
of danger.
This simple remedy has never
failed to cure this too often fatal
malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but
continue always until prespira-
ton starts freely from the chest.
This rendey was formulated
many years ago by one OF the
best physicians New England
has ever known who never lost a
patient by the disease and won

The Indiana anti-clgarette law,
just signed by the governor, IS
the most stringent ever framed
for the purpose. 1t prohibits

or indirectly to manufacture, sell,
barter. dispose of or give away
or keep for sale. any cigarettes,
cigarette paper or cigarette
wrappers or any paper made or
prepared for the purpose of being
filled with tobacco for smoking
or keep or own or be in any way
concerned, engaged or employed

not exceeding $50 may be im-
posed, and for second offence a
fine not exceeding $3.50 or a jail
sentence of six months may be
imposed. 1t is safe guess that
