"sTANDPATTERs" HOWL.

Secretary Taft's determination TO
purchase machinery and supplies
abroad for the Panama canal, when
ever it is found that the prices for
similar goods are higher at home,
has carried CONSERVATION into the
camp of the "standpatters, and hero
ic efforts are now being made to per-
suade the president to rescind the
plan.
Several members of his cabinet,
fearing the effect of misconstruction
of the idea upon the minds of the peo-
pie, have urged him to ''call Taft off"
but as yet he has not indicated any
intention of SO doing. Instead of Or
dering the war secretary to reconsider,
the president is said to be in full
sympathy with the spirit of the pro-
gram which is meant to be demand
upon the manufacturers to bring their
prices down to what is considered to
be profit making schedules.
The president is resolved to bring
the trust magnates to realization of
their obligations to the people of this
country, said a close friend of the
president, in commenting upon the
situation, land he will accomplish
that result even at the risk of bring
ing storm about his ears. He wishes
to make congress act on this question
and the sooner it takes action the bet
ter he will like it.
''There will be very few supplies,
relatively speaking, purchased by the
canal commission between now and
the time congress meets. The presi
dent hopes, however, that there will
be enough bought to serve as an object
lesson to the country on the subject in
hand. For instance, he believes it is
little short of criminal for the big
manufacturers to charge 1.-The home
consumers third more or double the
price for their goods that is charged
the people of Europe for the same
products of factory and shop.
tThe high protectionists will prob
ably cry out very loudly over what
they will term the outrage perpetrat-
ed upon the American workman, but
the people at large understand who is
perpetrating that outrage. 1t is the
man who is selling the product of
their labor for twice what it is worth
here at home and still making a good
profit on sales abroad.
1.-THE president expects to receive
calls FrOYVl a u,raof MANY r,rotaafi N o
magnates of the party before this
thing is settled up, but You may ac-
cept it as straight tip that he will
not recede one inch from his stand.
This is right in line with his demand
that the tariff schedules be modified
to meet present day conditions and
he is very glad indeed, that the mat
ter has been brought up to emphasize
his position"

ed in large measure at least by pre-
venting them from handling freight
within the city.
The fact that the city council un-
animously denied the mayors recon-
mendations was due chiefly to the
united opposition of the Los Angeles
merchants, whose petitions are thus
referred to in the report of the coun-
ellis committee on legislation:
These petitions seem to express the
almost unanimous sentiment of the
business community against the pas
sage of the ordinance. Your commit
tee is of the opinion that the hauling
of express matter and light freight by
means of electric cars, as the same is
now carried on in this city, is great
benefit to the community. In case
the privilege should be abused at any
time it would be necessary and proper
that the city should place about it
adequate restrictions. We do not
deem it good policy to initiate legisla-
ton that would by its enforcement
work hardship on the business inter
ests without corresponding benefit to
anyone"
BY this wise action the Los Angeles
council has contributed to the de-
velopement and growth of the city.
The electric railway is the greatest
builder.of suburban districts that is
now working, and suburbs quickly
merge themselves with the cities from
which they spring.

ATHENA, MAY ....... 90, 1905

In its Thursday edition the East
Oregonian made an assertion editor
tally pertaining to Athena, which it
cannot verify. II made the direct
statement that Athena and Weston
girls who attended the ball game in
Pendleton the Sunday previous, be-
came intoxicated in box located in
the rear of a Pendleton saloon. In
defense of the moral character Of
Athena's daughters the Press will say
that Athena parents do not have to
call for the assistance of the East
Oregonian to help rear their daugh-
ters in the way they should go, and
when the Pendleton paper says that
an Athena girl drank liquor in Pen
dleton saloon it juggles with truth and
wilfully prints glaring falsehood.
In the first place there was not one
Athena girl in attendance at the Pen
dleton Weston ball game ON the Sun
day mentioned, and if there had been,
the Press has faith enough in her home
raising and womanly modesty that it
believes no Pendleton wine room or
box would trap her. 1t is just such
malicious statements as these that re-
fleet detrimentally on the moral con-
ditions of Athena and lends material
for mouthy vaporings from such
moral rejuvenators as Hays. II does
not look becoming, to say the least,
for the East Oregonian (the paper that
every time 1t speaks closes a rib" and
prints 'all the news all the time'') to
throttle the news part of the incident
eliminate the facts altogether from
its news columns, and dish up "civ-
ic league" editorial, for the purpose
of exhorting moral lesson not found
ed on fact.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS AS FREIGHT
CARRIEKS.
spokesman : Review. J

The recent grant by the city council
to one Of the Spokane street railway
systems of franchise empowering the
company to carry freight on all it's
lines places this city in harmony with
similar movements in all parts of the
country. Electricity is becoming
more and more competitor OF steam.
Throughout the United States, as well
as in France and other parts of Eu-
rope, the electric urban and suburban
railway is adding freight to passenger
traffic, in spite of more or less active
opposition from the steam roads.
In the east, where the distances
from city to city are small, there are
comparatively few steam lines not
now paralleled by the cheaper electric
railway, and the former have found
that their only relief from the fierce
competition is by acquiring control of
the newer corporations. Throughout
the middle west, as we'll as in the east
ern states, great service has been
rendered to the gardeners and dairy
farmers by electric roads, which carry
fresh produce and milk from the farm
to the city market at low cost. In
this and many other ways the cleo
trio railway is rapidly obliterating
the lines between city and country.
The latest struggle ON this subject
is reported by the Los Angeles news
papers. Mayor McAleer of Los Ange-
les has just made a determined but
fruitless effort, apparently at the in
stance of the steam roads, to induce
the city council to enact legislation
prohibiting the carrying of freight on
electric lines. That city has one of
the best electric railway systems in
the country, largely the work of pro-
gressive local capitalist, H. e. Hunt
ington. Fast service by improved cars
over well ballasted roads connects Los
Angeles with Pasadena, Riverside and
other important neighboring towns,
and with Santa Monica, Ocean Park
and all the sea coast resorts. To pre-
vent these roads from becoming
freight carriers has been the aim of
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
companies, whose steam lines they
paralleled. This could be accomplish

County Commissioner Horace Walk
er takes the right view on the pro-
posed plan of the county and the city
of Pendleton uniting in the purchase
of a rock crusher and road roller.
Mr.. Walker favors the county buying
u road roller only. He further be-
lieves that Pendleton should buy her
own rock crusher. By this method
Pendleton, Athena and Weston--the
latter two towns already owning
crushers--could loan the county the
crushers in return for the loan of the
roller. Iu this way better roads and
more evenly surfaced streets could be
obtained Looking at the matter from
another phase, II may be stated there
is no record where county funds were
used in the purchase of either the
Athena or Weston rock crushers.

SECRETARY SHAW on CLASS
DISTINCTION.

The Baltimore annual conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, in
session at Washington, last week,
listened to sensible address from
Secretary Shaw, who is member of
that denomination. The Secretary took
for his theme "Class Distinction, -
and declared that most appropriate
motto for church workers would be
that of Henry George, II am for
men, Mr.. Shaw went on to say:
'That there is in this country a
very large number of unchurched
people is apparent. Every conven-
tion, assembly, synod and conference
reiterates the question: How shall
the masses be reached?' and they all
adjourn without answering the ques-
tion satisfactorily. 1t will never be
worthy of consideration.
Possibly people of wealth enjoy be-
ing preached to as the wealthy class.
Possibly the highly educated, the ad-
mittedly refined and cultured enjoy
being preached to as educated. refined
and cultured. Be that as it may, 1
am positive the poor do not enjoy
being addressed as the poor. Not
long ago Methodist minister asked
me: Why is it that the Roman Cat
holic church is more successful in
reaching the poor than WEEP Ireplied !:
That is easy; they never talk about
it; they draw no distinctions. They
never abuse the one nor patronized the
other.
The Methodist church was designed
for people-rich people and poor peo-
pie; educated people and uneducated
people; cultured people; uncultured !;
but do not believe it was ever the
design of God or man that it should
be the church of one to the exclusion
of the other In my Judgment the
only way to keep it the church of all
tween the sons of men.
l believe there is more prejudice on
the part OF those whom the world
calls poor against those whom the
world calls rich, than vice versa.
But l believe this prejudice is only
heightened by continually talking
about it, and if this were a popular
audience, as distinguished from
gathering of church workers, 1 would
not refer to the subject.
This country of ours has gotten
along pretty well thus far without
class distinction, and God grant that
this great church, outnumbering in
membership any other of the Protes-
tant denominations, may see to it
that within its borders there shall be
neither rich nor poor, high nor low.

A CAMEL'S STOMACH.
In Four Compartments 1t Carries
Water to Last a Journey.

The stomach Of a camel is divided
into no less than four compartments,
and the walls of one of these are
lined with large cells, every ote OF
which can be opened and CLOSED at
will by means of powerful mhscts.
Now, when camel drinks it drinks
very great deal. indeed it goes
drinking on for such very long time
that really you would think tlat it
never meant to leave off. But tie fact
is that. it is not only satisfying its
thirst, but is filling up its cistGn as
well. One after another the cals in
its stomach are filed with ,wate, and
as soon as each is quite full it isltight-
ly closed. Then when the animal be-
comes thirsty few hours Later all
that it has to do is to open one pr the
cells and allow the water to fioy out.
Next day it opens one or two more
cells, and so it goes on day aftir day
until the whole supply is exhausted.
In this curious way a camel can live
FIVE or even six days without drinking
at all and SO is able to travel quite
easily through the desert, wh9e the
wells are often hundreds of miles

The juice is taken in barrels to the

These bottles are now left from one

How the Empress Got Out of France,
After Sedan.

After Sedan.
AS soon as the hot headed citizens of
Paris learned in September, 1870, that
their emperor, Napoleon I'LL, had sur
rendered to the Prussians at Sedan
these Parisans rose in a riotous mob
and made posthaste for the Tuileries.
They were armed and after royal blood
and plumber. The empress had to flee
for her life. Assisted by the Austrian
and Italian ministers, she made hur-
ried fight from the palace, but found
the mob ahead of her in the garden;
back again and then out by secret
way into side street, where they en-
tered a carriage. A street gamin rec
ogniZed the empress here, but the
shouting of the mob was so great that
the boys cry of warning was not
needed.
Once the carriage was stopped by a
mob, but the party alighted and man.
aged to escape. Finding themselves
near the residence Of DR.. Evans, the
American dentist, they took refuge
there, and the doctor took upon HIM
self the responsibility of Empress Eu-
genie's safety. The empress put on a
dress belonging to Mrs. Evans and.
with Nine. Breton, her friend, was
driven by DR.. Evans to he suburbs.
