SENATORIAL GRAFT.

An interesting story is told of how
the senate figured it out to pay Bur
ton of Kansas his mileage. Burton is
constructively a member of the sem
ate. but actually he has been warned
not to appear on the floor. He just
hangs about the cloak rooms and the
corridors, probably smoking cigar
cites and wishing the United States
courts were in Jericho.
Recently the senate mileage ac-
count came up and it became neces-
sary for some employe of the senate
to certify that he had seen the Kan
sas senator in the chamber. This was
difficult since the senate itself has
warned him to keep our. But MT.
Burton was induced to stand in the
doorway and an employe was station
ed so he could see him from the floor.
He thereupon posted off in haste and
made affidavit that the senator from
Kansas was "in attendance
This comes under the same head as
the people paying for the manicuring
of senatorial nails and flesh-brushing
after the senatorial "bawth.' Mr.
Burton is not a member OF the senate
in the sense that he is doing anything
for the people of his state. He Is
senatorially speaking, in a state oi
suspended animation.
Should the court of last resort sus'
tain his conviction he would cease i'm
mediately to be a member of the SEN
ate. Should his conviction be finally
set aside he would be in the position
of a senator who from illness or an
other cause had been unable TO at
tend the session of the senate. He II
entitled to no mileage and the pay
ment to him is a petty graft.

WILL THE DRAMA GROW OLD?

Without cessation for over two CEN
turies of turmoil and evolution. the
Shakespearean plays have been ad-
mired by a changing and capricious
world.
Tonight one of the old dramas
which has been repeated hundreds of
thousands of times before audiences
of all colors, classes, dispositions, sem
timent and condition will be repeated
in Pendleton, and there is even keener
interest in the pound of flesh" in
the merchant of the Rialto, in the
judgment of Portia, than at any time
in the long and varied history of this
delightful romance.
Will the dramas ever grow old?
Will there ever come a time while the
old world stands in which the thrill of
the story will not draw us to the foot
lights, and make us idle dreamers
again and again while the unreal, yet
delicious elixir of love and chivalry
and adventure dominates our mind?
Will there ever come a time in
which the heart will be so barren of
sentiment that it will be unresponsive
TO the call of this art of arts?
In The Merchant of Venice" which
will be presented tonight, there is not
a solitary scene familiar 10 the Amer
lean. not a solitary combination OF
circumstances possible i'm this age, not
a situation which any of us hope tc
see enacted in life-and yet there
clings about the Old story that magic
something which tugs at the heart and
stirs the soul and inspires the minc
as though it were a refreshing pap
tism of inspiration.
The drama il. a part of life because
it depicts life. 1t is part of human
history because it portrays the pas
sions that burn, the hopes and fear
and longings that surge in the hear
of man, yet which are not recorded II
the cold histories of the worlds ac
ton.
Upon the mimic stage we see AM
feel the things which are in US, ye
which are unexpressed. We hear tn
voices which have called to us from
within yet which we have not under
stood before.
So as long as the heart rules an
the mind serves, as long as the wave
of passion and yearning murmur o.
the far shores of human life, so lon
will the unreal queen Of drama hoi
us in thrall!

BURBANK'S "HUMAN PLANTS" :"

Luther Burbank, the California
man who originates new kinds of
flowers and plants and fruit, at re-
cent gathering in San Francisco,
made the following statement:
"Did you ever think what is the
most pliable and the most precious
product Of all the ages? 1t is not pigs,
mules. books or locomotives, cotton
or corn-but children. Children can
not be treated alike. Each has his
or her special individuality which is
the most valuable Of all endowments.
If all were alike no progress could be
made and right here comes the weak
est point in the present educational
system. If we hope for any improve
ment of the human race we must
begin with the child, as the child re
spends more readily to environment
than any creature in existence.
1--WE in America form a nation with
| the bloods of half the people of the
| world within our veins. We are
more crossed than any other nation
in the history of the world and here
we meet with the same results that
are always seen in a much crossed
race of plants: all the worst as wei
as all the best qualities Of each are
brought out in their fullest intensity
and right here Is where selective en-.
vironment counts. All the necessary
has been done and now comes the
work of elimination, the work of re-
filming, until we shall get an ultimate
product that will be the finest hu
man race which has ever been known
Many years will pass before the fin
ished work is attained, but 1t is surf
to come. The color, the perfume. tn
size and form that are placed II
plants will have their analogies in til
composite, the American Of the fu
ture."

CHANGED.

With burning heart from the sting
ing smart
OF ungratified desire.
He carved his name in the hall of
fame
With words of living fire.
And people marveled the tale he
told
The ringing truth. the thoughts OF
gold.
But riches came with his tardy fame
And gnawed his heart away.
Till his only creed was a growing
greed,
And his idols but fossil clay.
And people shrank from the things
he said
The foolish rhymes, the thoughts OF
lead.

VOLUNTEER COMMANDERS.

one of the thorns in the flesh of
General Miles when he was COM
mander-in-chie Of the army was the
fact that he was not West Pointer,
He entered the army in the civil war
as a volunteer from Massachusetts
and rose through all the ranks to that
of senior major general, which gave
him the command under the old sys-
TEN.
But he never got on we'll with the
administration, and when he retired
as lieutenant general after the Span
ish war. it was with feeling that the
West Pointers in the army had never
given him very cordial support be-
cause he was not one OF them.
But it is curious fact that the
first chief of staff under the new sys-
TEN. Adna r. Chaffee, was not West
Pointer either: and it is further
worthy of note that three of General
Chaffee's successors in office, Bates,
Corbin and Macarthur, are not West
Pointers. Two of them, Corbin and
Macarthur had difficulty in getting
into the army at all, and Bates owed
his appointment directly to President
Lincoln who commissioned him a Sec
ond lieutenant. The others enlisted
as privates.
The army appears to have done wei
under the guidance of men who learn
ed the art of war in the actual school
of the battlefield and camp.
1t is a tribute to the genius of the
American people and our democratic
institutions that so many men have
risen by the sheer force of merit to
the highest rank in the army and
have there acquitted themselves with
credit to their country. West Point
may be necessary in the long run, but
1t must be evident that it is not indis-
pensable.

DOWN on THE FARM.

We'd miss a lot of cheer and fun.
If things should prove what they
appear;
Why, there are streaks of glory run
Clear through the dark days OF the
year,
A blazing fire
To sit before;
A wears desire
Attained and more;
Oerflowing cribs,
And barns a-burst;
Vans and spare-ribs.
And cures for thirst.
And Oh! the Jingle we can make
How clear it calls'-
Just any time we choose to shake
Our overalls!
Who cares how low the clouds may
lean.
Or fears because the north wind
roars"
Why, there are good, strong walls be-
tween
Them and the glad, bright world
indoors,
There is content,
From envy free:
And merriment,
And childish glee;
And pumpkin pie,
And candy stew: ..
And popcorn balls,
And kisses too,
And, oh! that feeling, felt always
How sweet its charm.-
That comes. when come the year!

new Douma. Doubtless not few OF these
prudent counsellors are compelled to exercise
much self-restraint. Their passions are as
strong as those OF their more impetuous fellows
and they have bad much provocation 10 let them
loose. But, happily, they are able TO hold them
In check aud TO prevail upon many of their fol-
lowers and comrades TO do the same.
Nor are the members of the imperial govern
ment who have resumed for time absolute
mower free from the need of self-restraint. ft
would be deporabe thing for the government
70 go 10 extremes of repression, or TO repudate
the specific pledges which the Car has given
i'm respect 10 continuance of the decreed reforms
On the contrary, it could i'm no way more surely
vindicate itself and commend itself TO the Russian
people and to the judgment of the world than
by exercising its autocratic power with all possi-
BILE moderation until such time as, in the full
filment of the imperial word, another national
assembly shall be convoked. 1t is not time for
reprisals on either side, but for tempered Judg-
ments and restrained passions.
New-York tribune., 1906-08-07
JUSTICE ON VACATION.

A story comes from Chicago which is full Of
suggestion at this time of year. 1t is TO the
effect that a Russian woman and her two chill
dren have been summarily deported. on charges
of fraud in their entry TO this country Ar
raugements TO satisfy the requirements OF the
law, and thus TO permit them to remain here
were offered. But nothing could stop or delay
the summary deportation proceedings excepting
an order from federal judge. and it so hap
pened that all the federal judges in that region
were away on their vacations. Had one of them
been accessible, he might have granted writ,
and thus have given the woman and her chit
dren chance TO remain in the asylum they had
sought But not one could be found, and so
they had TO go.
Now. il may be that in the end it would have
been decided that they must be deported. It
may be that a judge would have refused to
interfere It may be that they ought to be de-
ported. All that. however. is apart from the
real point OF the case. which is that if the
woman had the right of appeal TO the court she
was entitled to exercise il at the time when
the appeal was needed. In other words, just
as the law never ceases to be operative, but
a violation of il in vacation season is as crimi-
nal as at any other time, so the processes of JUS
tice. for the safeguarding of personal rights,
should be available at all times. criminal is
not exculpated because there happened to be
mitted. Neither should a suppliant for legal
aid or relief be denied because it happens to
be the courts vacation season. There should
be no distinction OF persons, and none of times
and seasons, in the administration of justice.
We would not overwOrk judges. But it should
be easy enough TO give each judge a vacation
of reasonable length-much longer than the
average business or professional man is able
to take-and yet have no vacation season at all
in the courts. There surely could be an ar
rangement under which some judge would be
accessible on every day in the year, for urgent
cases, and under which. even, important trials
could be conducted in summer well as in
winter. There is little justice in locking a man
up for two months when he is ready and eager
for trial. just because all the judges are on
vacation and all the courts are closed. The
prompt administration of justice, both for the
restraint and punishment of crime and for the
relief of suppliants, is a prime necessity Of civ
ilized society. and it should in some way be
secured and assured.
