WRITE UMATILLA HISTORY.

While there are number Of live
and progressive women's clubs in
Pendleton, yet there seems to be a de-
mqnd for at least one more-a club
which will collect and write the pio-
neer history Of Umatilla county.
Volumes Of thrilling history of this
county are yet unwritten and 1t seems
that while the pioneers are yet alive
and the story may be secured from
their lips, that the women Of the city
could do nothing more valuable than
to collect sketches. narratives. Incl
dents and living history as legacy
to leave to the coming generations.
No spot In Oregon is richer in his
tory than Umatilla county. Afternoon
programs for an entire year, or two
OF three years, could be filled with
thrilling local historical sketches, and
II these sketches were written with
care they would be OF priceless value
"a the future.

Tom Milarkey, lives in Pendleton. The

ELECTION FRAUDS ESCAPE.

because, upon the instructions of
Judge Frazer, a Portland jury acquit-
ted B. F. Boynton of the charge of
perjury in the Sellwood election
frauds, yesterday, all the remainder
of the Sellwood election fraud cases
will be dropped.
Judge Frazer says the Oregon law
upon perjury is so vague and scatter
ing that it is almost impossible to con-
vict under it. For this reason, men
who are known to be culprits of the
most hrazen type, must be allowed
to go scot free.
There are two things necessary to
prevent election frauds, which are be-
coming more and more frequent in
Oregon: First, revise the perjury
statute so courts may convict on rea-
sonably strong evidence; and second,
impose a penalty on every able-bodied
citizen between the ages of Fl and IS
who fails to go 10 the polls and vote
on election day.
The stay-at-home vote is usually a
vote for decency, If expressed. The
corruptionists never stay at home,
and therefore If every decent and self
respecting citizen went to the polls
and cast his ballot the result would
be to cleanse the polls of much of the
unbridled riot and aggressive vicious
ness which now largely control elec-
tions, especially in the larger citie:
where ward heelers are the ruling
power over the ballot box.

| except by distillation, and as regular
distilleries are the onfs kind recog-
nized by law, alcohol nanufa sured
under the supervision Of this depart
ment must be manufactured at regu-
lar distilleries. There are absolutely
no limitations as to the size OF a DIS
tillery that can be operated under
the law.
There are over 1000 distilIeries in
operation now. at each of which the
daily spirit producing capacity Is less
than 80 gallons. Many of these were
set up on an outlay OF less than 5000.
So far as the internal revenue laws
are concerned either in theory or
practice, the smallest and crudest dis
tillery can produce alcohol, II as a
business proposition 1t rs deemed ad-
visable to do so. The small distiller-
les have always been treated by this
department with the same considera-
tfon as the larger ones.
II a farmer or other person desires
to go into the business of manufactur-
ing denatured alcohol, at a plant
HONtNtT Will pt
to construct his plant in the manner
prescribed by the general laws and
regulations.
He will be required to give bond,
the effect of which is to prevent him
from defrauding the government Of
the tax on distilled spirits produced
by him. He will be required to es-
tablish a distillery warehouse; to de-
posit the spirits produced by him in
this warehouse; to establish a dena-
turing bonded warehouse, and to
tax upon, or denature, just as ne may
wish, the alcohol produced By him.
All of this will be done under
governmental supervision, but the
government pays for this supervision.
The manufacturer of alcohol does not
bear one cent of it. There Is no OBJ
lection to a farmer manufacturing
his alcohol in his backyard" pro-
vided he wants to establish a distil-
lery there.

The Spokesman-Revie takes ex-
ceptions to the term first citizen" Of
the United States, which is applied to
Grover Cleveland by his admirers and
the public in general. In the first
place Grover Cleveland did not take
the title himself. The public gave 1t
to him without his knowledge or
consent" In the second place, Cleve-
land attends to his own business
strictly and does not pose as "first
citizen; and lastly, Cleveland is too
big. morally, to be affected either by
such a title or the absence of such
a title, and therefore the fling of the
spokesman-Revlew and its imitators
falls flat.

ANCIENT ANARCHISTS.

That social discomfort is not a new
thing under the sun, and that anar-
chistic sentiments were not born al
together of modern conditions, Is
shown by the following excerpt from
Hesoid who wrote seevral centuries
before the Christian era. The Greek
poet says of the oppressors of the
race, and of the expected vengeance
upon them:
Invisible, the gods are ever nigh,
Pass through our midst and bend the
all-seeing eye.
The men who grind the poor, who
wrest the right,
Awelsss of heavens revenge, stand
naked to their sight;
For thrice ten thousand holy demons
This breathing world-the delegates
of Jove,
Guardians of man, their glance alike
surveys
The upright judgments and the un-
righteous ways.

FULTON ON "sTATE RIGHTS" ;"

Senator Fulton. of Oregon, in speak,
ing of the state rights of California,
on the japanese question, in the sem
ate, last Saturday night, said:
I wish to say first that I am in ac-
cord with the senator's views-that
the federal government can not by
treaty invade the right of state to
regulate its own school system. But
a question has occurred to my mind,
Maryland If it has occurred to his;
and If so, whether he has reached a
conclusion on 1t. 1t Is this:
Can the congress and the president,
in the exercise Of the treaty-making
power, invade the rights of e state
what we will term reserved" rights
of a state--to any greater extent than
it can by direct legislation? We will
concede, l think, for Instance that
congress may not by direct legislation
change the laws of state providing
who may hold property within the
state-who may own real estate.
That is q matter concerning which
4 state ordinarily would have the right
to legislate, and concerning which the
congress could not interfere by direct
legislation. Yet the supreme court
has held that by a treaty law of a
state in that regard may be annulled
Now, then, the question which has
arisen in my mind is to what extent
may the treaty-making power invade
the rights Of a state beyond what con-
gress may invade them by legislation
or can It?

THE ONLY ENGLISH POPE.

The world has had only one Eng

who was a native by birth Of Langley
near Saint Albans, IN Hertfordshire.
His real name was Nicholas Break

as a beggar and became a servant in
monastery in France. He was a de-
vout man, and his rise from this time
was steady until he became pope.
