THE WHITE PLAGUE.

All the measures which have been
proposed for combating the ravages
of the great white plague, which has
fastened its 6eath grasp on more than
a million people in this country today,
are nothing more than palliative in
their nature They do not go to the
root of the trouble Tuberculosis
has its seat and origin in impure air
and an ill-nourished body, and no
mode of life that can ever be en-
forced among the poor people of the
of this disease,
Every family that can be led out
into the sunshine and fresh air of the
country, and planted in a homecroft,
where the children can be raised in
garden and fed upon fresh eggs
and vegetables produced in that gar
den, can be made absolutely immune
against this dread plague.
In Japan, where the people live an
out-of-door life, consumption or tu-
berculosis is practically unknown. In
this country, where we have packed
our working people into dark and un-
wholesome flats and tenements It has
been estimated that over 5000
people a year fall victims to this
scourge and a million unfortunates
are afflicted by 1t.
Let us build the hospitals, and take
care of the suffering, tuberculosis
children that we have brought into
being by our national indifference TO
human health.
But unless we change the condi-
tions of life for the multiplying mil
lions of our working people, tubercu-
losis children will be produced faster
than we can build hospitals for them,
and what will be the end of ii all?
Every tuberculosis child in every
city in the country is a mute and suf-
fering condemnation of the indiffer-
ence of the great mass of the Ameri-
can people to the existence of the
wretchedly unhealthful conditions of
human life under which so many mill
lions of our children must live

PROGRESS OF ESPERANTO.

The London Chamber of Commerce
has put Esperanto among the subjects
for examination in its educational de-
partment This international Ian
guage. successor Of the unlamented
Volapuli. was introduced to the world
by Dr. Zamenhof, a doctor lin War
saw. Poland. in 1887. His pamphlet.
"An International Language, by DR..
Esperanto" published i'm that year.
lay dormant for some 10 years.
1t is said that 10000 persons can
now read or write Esperanto; and
there are some 40 journals and maya
zines and some 200 societies or Gem
ters" for propagating it. About half
of the roots in Esperanto are of Latin
origin, 25 per cent of English and 25
per cent of German. There is no Eng
lish "a" "w." or ''y" in the language.
There are no silent letters. The ac-
cent is always on the syllable next to
the last.
AZ present Esperanto consists of
about 1000 roots and from 1000 to
5000 words. DR.. Zamenhof holds that
by the use of some 80 prefixes and
suffixes. 900 root words are enough.
Its grammar ought to be learned in
an hour by anybody who knows one
of the Latin languages. There are no
irregular verbs blessed be Esperan-
TOD The plural ends In "y''; nouns
in co.; adjectives in ia" "Ino" is
the feminine ending. For example.
"patro," father; "patrino," mother.

puk or will it prosper with the

AFTER THE SILVER CUP.

President Bumstead of the Colora-
do State Beet Growers association,
has notified the board of control that
his organization will endeavor to
make winning contest for the $500
solid silver loving cup that has been
donated by President Havemeyer for
the best exhibit of sugar beets at the
National Irrigation congress, to be
held in Boise September to s. Sim
liar organizations in California,
Utah, Washington and Idaho have
given the same notice, and the pros
poets are that the greatest exhibit of
sugar beets ever made will be shown
on this occasion. The raising Of su-
gar beets has advanced more rapidly
than any other industry during the
past few years and promises to be-
come a more important crop than
fruit culture. Idaho has built five
beet sugar factories during the past
five years, costing s1,O0O,00O each,
and two more ar now under con-
struction.

CEMETERY OR PARK?

The question of repairing or abol-
ishing the old cemetery north of the
river is one which Pendleton should
settle before long, ana settle right,
once for all.
The cemetery in its present condi-
tion is nuisance, a disgrace. 1t is
not a cemetery, but a waste. an eye
sore to the city and those who have
the disposal of it, or the management
of it should get together and do
mething with it.
Let the cemetery trustees, the Com
mercial association, and the city
council get together and dig into the
legal phases of the matter and decide
upon some definite plan of action.
Every citizen of Pendleton is re-
sponsible for the neglect of this tract
of ground.
II all the bodies possible were re-
moved and it could be converted into
city park-Pioneer park-it would
always stand as a monument to the
pioneers, living and dead. 1t would
be a monument to the enterprise OF
the city 1t would be a credit to the
people.
Those whose dead are now buried
there certainly do not enjoy the Gem
etery in it's present condition. Those
who live in that vicinity surely do not
enjoy it and the city should take
some decisive steps in the matter at
once.
Locust trees planted there would
furnish ample shade for public meet
ings, picnics and other public func-
tions, within five years. The bodies
should be removed, the place convert
ed into a park and planted to locust
trees, and the city could then care
for it and make 1t delight to the
eye Of the present generation and a
sacred memorial for the past genera
ton which founded the city and con-
secrated the park.
The expense of converting this
ground to the city for park purposes
would not be heavy, and a start
should be made now. Every year
lost, delays the fruition Of the plan
