The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1905-08-01
ATHENA, AUGUST :.
1,1905

Hearst's Chicago American of re-
cent issue contained the following
editorial, which has created no little
comment on the part of the press
generally because of the fact that it
shows spirit of fairness which does
not always characterize the Ameri-
cans editorials. II says:
1T would be misfortune to the
country If the few big papers in the
big cities should interfere seriously
with the publication of the valuable
and intelligent local newspapers-for
upon these local newspapers the well
fare of the country very largely de-
pends. The metropolitan daily cannot
possibly know the needs Of the various
localities and small cities. Only the
local newspapers can protect local
needs and influence local opinion. OF
course we are very glad to have as
many people as possible read the
Chicago American in the big cities
and the little cities. But we hope
that in every small town and every
village there will be enough intelli-
gence and public spirit on the part of
the local inhabitants to support earn
estly and enthusiastically the best
local newspaper, giving encouraging
appreciation and good living to the
local editor, who alone can represent
and defend justice and public spirit
among his neighbors The man is
unfortunate who cannot afford TO take
two newspapers at today's prices. He
who can afford only one newspaper,
in our opinion shold display his sense
of duty to his locality by taking the
local newspaper.

THE PLEA OF THE PIRATES.
(Oregonian.) J

Had Governor La Toilette made the
same remark few years ago which
he made at Galesburg the other day,
he would have been numbered thence
forth among incendary anarchists. II
should like" said the governor, ito
have hand in hanging Stuyvesant
Fish," The nation does not shudder
it merely wonders why Mr.. La Fol-
lette should limit his sanguinary i'm
pulse to Stuyvesant Fish out of the
great multitude who are ripe for the
halter. Indeed, a very audible sigh
of regret ascends from the American
people that the belligerant reformer
cannot proceed from the wish to Its
fulfillment. Nevertheless, Stuyvesant
Fish is great man and Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish is something more than a
great lady. He is president of the
Illinois Central railroad, and she has
declined to be the wife of the presi-
dent of the United States. To be sure,
she declined without being asked, but
it is the feeling of the heart, we must
remember, that counts, not the ex-
ternal circumstances.
Later, and at Chautauqua As
sembly, too, where incendiary utter
ances must fall ON the timidly correct
congregation, one would suppose, like
a band of pirates upon nunnery,
Mr.. La Toilette violently denounced
that pillar of the church, the college
and society, John D. Rockefeller. 1t
is added in the account that what he
said was applauded. Trifiing in them
selves, such facts as these are far from
trivial when they must be taken as
symptoms of profound ethical revo-
luton in the nation. They are the
surface wavelets which tell something
of deep disturbance in the ocean of
society. 1t is not unlikely that the
American people are feeling just now
the initial STRINGS of tremendous
revival. Not a revival of ecclesia-
sticism, but of vital and efficient
righteousness. That this is coming
there are many signs. The enduring
popularity of Theodore Roosevelt,
who is righteous man in the sense
of Matthew Arnold and the Hebrew,
prophets, is one sign. 1t is another,
most ominous for evildoers in high
places, that the wrath of the people
against them does not burn itself ont.
The public does not weary of the
continuous flood of exposure and de-

News columns of eastern papers
give evidence of considerable atten-
tion being paid to the exposure of
blackmail methods that have been
pursued in New York City for some
time by certain notorious and noxious
publications Of that city, and sur
prise is expressed that prominent bust
ness and social men should submit to
the terms laid down by such publica-
tions. And yet the very same meth
cd of blaokmail has been practiced in
Washington at the beginning of every
congress for the past ten years or
more, and there has been no outcry
from a single victim or intended vic
tim. United States senator's, rather
than run the risk of being roasted or
shown up, have gone into their pock :
cts for anywhere from $100 to $1,000
every two years, at the dictation of as
bold and villainous scoundrels as ever
worked finn tlam in that city. At
the beginning of every congress these
bunco artists appear in the capitol,

manned and dressed, they fired a
royal salute in honor of King Ed
ward, whose standard was flying from
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
The mass of spectators ashore and

Cleveland, Aug. S.-Reports from
various hospitals, to which the vic
tins OF the grade crossing accident
were taken, showed that only one
death had occurred, making two vic
Tins SO far, but six of the badly in
jured will probably die. Aside from
those fatally hurt at least score of

ceiYed more or less serious wounds
V. M. Lille, the gateman en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania company
at st. Clair street crossing, where the
fast outgoing Pennsylvania train
struck the street car, has been placed
under arrest. Lille admits that the
gates were not lowered. He is held
on the charge of manslaughter.
Investigation shows that the trolley
wheel left the wire just as the car
reached the Pennsylvania tracks and
before it could be replaced the fast
train came along and collided with
the car, loaded with forty passengers.

Point James Brown, the engineer, lies
at the point of death and Gus Roe,

The runaway engine had been lying
in the yards at Love Point ali day and
it is thought that some one malicious
ly or accidentally opened it up. When
discovered the engine was well start
ed. The station agent at Chester was
telephoned to open the switch and
sidetrack it at that point. He was too
late, however, the engine passing
there at forty miles an hour, striking
the passenger engine several miles

who ventures upon private property
and noiselessIy leaves his advertise

rings the bell, takes one from their
work. simply to find the program of a
minstrel troupe or even a sacred con-
cert, takes an unauthorized liberty,
and, as the matter stands now, through

nuisance. Whoever you are, man or
