its benefit is wholly unjust and a
burden upon the consumer, as the
present coal famine proves.
Certain phases Of the tariff ques-

frequently revised. Tariffs are
quickly outgrown in a rapidly devel-

NApOLEON's LIFE THE STAKE.

During the greater part of his life
time Napoleon was a subject of inter-
est, awe. or terror to the most OF
Europe. 1t would hardly have been
flattering 10 his self-esteem, however,
had he known that he was also the
occasion of the following curious wa
ger.
At dinner party in London in 1909,
after the champagne had circulated
freely, Sir Mark Sykes offered to pay
a guinea a day as long as Napoleon
lived to anyone who would give him
100 guineas down. A minister Of gam
ing proclivities, the Rev. B. Gilbert,
who was present, accepted the offer,

The interview which DR.. F. W. Vim
cent, of this city gave the Oregon
Daily Journal on the benefits of the
meter system of city water now in use
in this city, made plain the economy
and common sense of the system.
Now that the distribution of city water
on an efficient basis has been accom-
plished here, the next logical step is
for the city to secure an everlasting
supply of gravity water from the
Ulnatilla river or other stream of
sufficient flow. Pendleton is now up
to the very limit of her water supply
During the dry season the present
supply must he closely husban6ed in
order to meet all the needs of the city
and increasing population must be
provided for. The city has a sewe:
system to accommodate 10000 people
She must have a water system of the
same capacity.

Mir. Houghton,s Position.

NCOnInunlCdIeu.D
 Montgomery, Ala, March 9, 1908. Editor Advertiser:
 regret exceedingly that my lette1 to the voters of Montgomery county asking their support in my race for the State Senate should have beer taken soemuch to heart by my friend, Mir M. B. Houghton, who has seen fit to write a circular letter to the peo- pie explaining his position on the pro- posed pensioning of convicts. What I said about 1t was based on a letter written by him to The Advertiser on the 2sth of January. last, in which he advocated the RETURN TO THEE DE- PENDENT FAMILIES, A PORTION OF ALL OF THE CONNECTS LABOR, AFTER THE EXPENSES OF KEEP. AND CONVICTION HAVE BEEN SAT ISFIED." He went on at some length 10 explain the justice and humanity of such course. and concluded with this paragraph;
 IF THE PEOPLE or ALABAMA WILL CALMLY THINK ABOUT THIS GROSS WRONG. FOR WHICH LITTLE WILL GO TO WORK AND RIGHT TT AT THE COMING SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE"
 These are MT. Houghtons exact words, and I am not responsible for his utterances THEN when he advo- cated rlgntlnE the wrong Tn the NEXT LEGISLATURE. Now, in his last letter of explanation, he seems to forget what he did say, or possibly he did not at that time contemplate becoming himself a candidate for the Legislature. and has since found that his position on the pensoning of con victs, GALL CONNECTS he does not say WHITE ONES, but he must know that any law he might make would have to apply to both white and black con- victs alike) is unpopular What he says in explanation Is that, THE AR TICLE WAS WRITTEN TO STIMU- LATE THOUGHT AND INVESTIGA- TION IN A DIRECTION THAT AP- PEALS TO OUR HUMANE INSTINCTS, AND FOR THE THOUGHTFUL CON | SIDERATION OF THE WHITE PEO- PILE OF ALABAMA; WITHOUT ANY 1 INTENTION OF ENACTING LEGIS- | LAYTON IN THAT DIRECTION AT | THIS TIME"
 He did say in his first letter that he wanted legislation. and the people | to go to work and right it at the com l ing session of the Legislature but now, | he says. he did not intend to favor "ENACTING LEGISLATION IN THAT | DIRECTION AT THIS TIME" Has he changed his mind since he became a candidate. or really does he now see the error of his views? I am not re- | sponsible for his utterances, and upon | them he must stand or fall,
