conceded that perfect uniformity in
the laws governing those relations
would be an unmiNed good There
may be differences in the conditions
existing in agricultural Texas and in
commercial and manufacturing Mas

have their influence upon the marri-
ageable age.
Though greater uniformity of these
laws among the states is to be de
sired 1t may be asked if there is
not greater reason than is apparent
for the fact that South Carolina has
no divorce laws, while those of Mis-
souri, are liberal.

THE THEATER HAT.

A new solution of the theater-hat
problem has been devised during the
last season by the proprietor OF the
casino at one of the Mediterranean
watering places, according to the
Journal des Debats. He made no at
tempt to compel women to remove
their hats. Hated or hatless they
were allowed to enter the auditorium
without question.
The rule was rigidly enforced, how
ever, that all women wearing hats
should take seats on the left-hand
side of the house, while those who
were bare-headed were placed on the
right. Naturally, all men unaccom-
panied by women joined the hatless
crowd on the right, so that the left
hand half of the audience was practl-
cally a solid mass of hats.
The women who were seated there
found it absolutely impossible to see
the stage. The gaps which the hat
less usually furnished in the barrier of
finery were lacking and when they
tried to peep between the hats imme-
diately in front of them those still
farther forward blocked their vision

THE PEOPLES MONEY.

TIE peoples money belongs to the
people and every dollar of income
from a public fund. no matter whether
be city, county, state or federal be-
longs 10 the public treasury.
The next legislature of oregon
should pass a law, If need be, to make
it Illegal for a public official to use
public funds, or the interest thereon,
for private gain. Salaries should be
high enough to pay officials for their
services, leaving the income from the
peoples money for the people.
This practice of allowing public Of
ficials to use public funds for private
gain leads to much of the graft and
corruption that curses the country to-
day.
Let the official keep his hands off
the peoples income. Interest on pub
lie funds is a part of the fund, and be-
longs 10 the people.

PALMA OF CUBA.

Unlike some Latin-American eX-
presidents, Mr.. Palma will not pro-
ceed from Havana to Paris and live
like a millionaire. Mr.. Palma began
to be a Cuban president over 80 years
ago, during the 1O-years' insurrection
against Spain, when he was made the
head of the revolutionary government,
which never really governed. After
his capture and Imprisonment in a
Spanish dungeon in the Pyrenees, he
always described himself to his jail
ers as president of the Cuban repub-
lic.' Spain banished him from Cuba
when peace was restored, and 1t was
during the ensuing 90 years that he
conducted a private school in a small
interior town of New York state. Our
government considered him the ablest
and safest man available for the Gu
ban presidency in 1902, but he had
lived so many years away from the
island and its people that he had lost
touch with the new generation. Mr..
Palma is now II years old.

HOLIDAY TOMORROW.

Pendleton is glad to take a two
hours holiday tomorrow afternoon to
visit the good road being built by the
government and the county. Every
body in the city should be the guest
of the county court tomorrow from l
to 9 p. m.
Few of US appreciate how good
roads are built, what they cost, how
long they should last, or what is the
proper method of construction. Una
ti!la county is one of but two coun-
tics in Oregon which is getting a prac-
t!cal lesson, a living answer to these
questions.
The county court is to be congratu-
lated for its public spirit in bringing
the government road makers into the
county. The people should go and see
for themselves how it is done, and
theu they will not criticize without
having seen the work.
More good roads are needed. They
should be built right. Umatilla coun-
ty has over 34OO miles of public roads
1t is one of the biggest public ques-
tons with which the county has to
deal and the county court is willing to
learn. Let us encourage the work.

CATS, NEGROES AND SPOOKS.

An oklahoma City negro hootblack
is more thoroughly convinced than
ever that a black cat is hoodoo and
a dangerous animal. A black cat had
been lOafing around his stand for n
week or two and refused to be driven
away. The negro grew alarmed and
thinking that his remedy would run
the cat out OF the country tied paper
sack to the cats tail and set the sack
on fire. The cat disappeared down
an alley and the hOotbiack heaved a
sigh of relief. The cat, however, ran
close to the county sheriff, who made
inquiry and arrested the bootblack.
The negro was fined SO and costs for
cruelty to animals and for endanger-
ing the whole town with fire. The
cat has returned to the neighborhood
of the boot stand and the bootblack
is losing his appetite.-Kansas City
