The histor yof all such attempts should
be salutary warning against the adop-

than an attempt at class legislation. 1t
is no reply to this position to say that
such legislation has been rife enough
heretofore in the interest of capital.

GOOD I'm CHANGE OF AIR.
m0sphsre Is Injurious go
the Health.

The Quasi-miraculous benefits which
are associated with change of air in
the popular belief are In reality de-
rived when they accrue from change
Of environments, or change OF habits
OF life. says the Medical Review. In
a great many instances the measure
OF benefit obtainable would be as ef-
fectually secured and at much less ex-
pense by mere change of habits, with
out the fatigue and Inconvenience OF
change of domicile The oyerwrought
city clerk might advantageously take
to driving cab. while the cabman
would find 1t relief to discharge for
a time the functions of caretaker of a
desterted house. Many an overworked
physician would experience a distinct
improvement were he TO qualify as
chauffeur. with no other object In
view than to cover space. and there
are few domestic servants whose
health would not be sensibly modified
by a brief experience as milkmaid or
cleaner, should the season lend itself
to that pursuit. The literary gent,
whose brain is sterile of new ideas.
might recuperate his energies by
usurping the role OF sick man and
remaining in bed for q week or two.

The spectator Of prizelght, on
the other hand, exercises no normal
instinct. The delight In cruelty,
bloodshed and brutal contests of all
sorts is a degenerate trait and is char
acteristic of men and nations which
have passed the period of virility.
The more efeminate man is the more
be reveals in exhibitions of physical
vigor. This abnormal, morbid in
terest in the flesh is the attrcation of
prizeffghts, for most of the men and
all the women who attend them. 1t
is the same unhealthy passion which
the degenerated Romans felt for glad
iatorial shows aud the modern rabble,
often gilded rabble, for football
Those who do not attend prize fighs
from degenerate motives are there to
gamble. No one ever attended such
an exhibit out of kindness or for de
sire to benefit himself or anybody else.
Nobody expects innocent mirth. There
is no mirth at prizefight anymore
than at football game. 1t is all
hard, cold, serious business with the
managers, and fierce, abnormal excite
ment with the spectators. The hu-
man being who is fortunate enough to
find bit of innocent pleasure upon
the thorny way of life is always the
kinder and better for it. The spec
tators depart from prizefight more
cynical, cruel, more selfish than ever.
1t is one of those sports which en-
phasize the constant tendancy of the
human race to throw away all that it
has gained in civilization and revert to
the primitive brute.
Nevada is one of the few states of
the Union where these shameful ex-
hibits are permitted. Known every
where as the least populous and one
Of the most corrupt politically of the
states, it bids fair to gain from legal
ized prizefighting the reputation of be-
ing the most degenerate.

HUMANITY AND MACHINERY.
Reader Magazine.

Machinery is the cornerstone OF
modern society, the very foundation
on which law, science, ethics. the
arts, even the state itself rests. 1t is
SO new that we do not yet know its
poetry. We do not yet understand.
Only two generations have lived beside
the highway of team; only one has
seen the Bessemer converter transform
the blaekmsith into master of ships
and towers. The sewing machine, the
far speaker, the typewriter are COM
mon things of today, accepted as
matter of daily convenience. and yet
are the teachers of the people. Ma
chimes that come close to our lives and
homes insensibly teach truth, pre-.
cision, the adjustment of universal
laws to human needs, respect for that
wise American idea that labor saved
is labor relesaed for higher and
nobler toll. The machine is the head
master of the high school of the race.

ATHENA, ORE, sEPT........7, 1906

"Trade at Home is a good motto
to put over the door of every house in
Umatlila county. This is the only
way you can ever hope to build up q
strong and prosperous commonwealth.
Too many of our people are prone to
pore over the catalogues of mail order
houses and pick out stuff that they
would refuse to take from the home
merchant. They buy "unsight and
unseen," as the saying goes, and in
ninety cases out Of hundred are
disgusted with their purchase when it
arrives. Why people do this is one OF
the mysteries of human nature. They
get bit so often that in time you would
suppose they would learn better.
There should be more of the spirit OF
reciprocity between our merchants and
their patrons. II you want credit you
expect to get it at home and when you
have cash you should not send it out
of the county to help build up institu-
tions that have no direct interests In
your own community.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us.
why so few have attempted the ascent OF
the highest peaks on the face of the earth
is the conviction that man cannot with

THE PRIZEFIGHT.
0regonian.


In commencing upon prizefight it
is customary to speak as If the two
naked auitnals who exchange blows
are more guilty than the spectators.
They are bad enough. There is no in
teution OF attempting to palliate the
depravity Of their conduct but it must
be remarked that, inexcusable as
thsy are, they simply follow out a
natural instinct of mankind, which is
in itself useful and even praiseworthy.
Man is by nature aud necessity fight
ing animal, BY physical fighting he
has won his preeminence in the world ;
by mental fighting he must maintain

stinet to an unhealthy extreme.

course, distinctly a democrat. The
question arises as to how far demo

BRYAN's CAMPAIGN KEYNoTl
Spokesman Revive.


Millions of people all over the
United States will read the speech
delivered by William Jennings Bryan
at the banquet rendered in his honor
in New York. The welcome home
demonstration has been one of the most
important and significant happenings
in the political history of this coun-
try. The enthusiasm manifested will
confirm Mr. Bryan in his expectation
of receiving the democratic nomination
for the presidency. That nomination
may also be set down as a certainty.
and it was natural that Mr.. Bryan
should speak as one who will be the
standard bearer of his party in the
coming campaign.
His remarks took wide range. He
realized that his speech was to be the
keynote of the campaign, aud no
phase of the political situation escaped
him. There was no mincing Of words
in his denunciation of acknowledg
ed existing evils and of other things
which appear evil to him through de.
mocratic spectacles. He was especial
~ emphatic in bis remarks on the
trusts, which he would wipe out i'll
their entirety.
Interest will attach to his advocacy
of government ownership of railroads,
federal ownership for trunk lines and
state ownership for local lines. His
views on this subject are based to a
considerable extent on what he has
seen on his European travels.
In dealing with proposed restrictions
on corporations, the labor problem,
socialism, the income tax question,
campaign contributions and other top
los he says some things that will be
generally indorsed.

Then mamma spoke through Russo.
She, too, was much saddened by what
she had seen of the city's Scared
face, and she, with her daughter,
would like to do something to make
expression of her sympathy more ma
terial than mere words. The brave
people had treated Adelina very well,
and now that Adelina has returned
to them with augmented art she is
sure they will like her more than ever.
