Boys Father Forces Suit on Ground
of Tender Years.

Judge Hastings will be asked to annul
the marriage of Donald c. Ramm of New
London, son of Il banker and Republican
politician, and Delvina Delmaris of Mari
nette. on the ground that the groom was
but II years old at the time of the
marriage. The boy and girl met at New
London, where Miss Delmaris was visit
ing. They slipped away to Menominee,
Mich, Thanksgiving day and were mar
ried after subscribing to a statement that
they were over p years of age. The
boys father learned of their disappear
ance from New London and followed
them to Menominee, but arrived too late
to prevent the marriage.

War. He was a Union soldier. John
jefferson Williams. from Jay County,
Indiana. a member Of Company B of
the Thirtyfourth Indiana Regiment.
The fight in which he was killed oc-
Cured at Palmetto Ranch. Texas, on
May IS, 1865. more than a month after
Lees surrender.
The word to lay down arms had not
reached Texas at that time, and an en-
gagement took place between d small
force of Union troops and a detach-
ment of Confederate cavalry. Williams
was the only man killed.

COLD Is COSTLY TO FARMERS.
Frosty Weather in Minnesota Re-
tards agricultural Work.

The cold weather that has gripped the
northern part of Wisconsin for several
weeks has been of unreasonable harm to
farmers who have been unable to plow
for seeding owing to the large amount
of frost in the ground. The spring work
is therefore much later than usual and
farmers are beginning to fear that the
year will not be a profitable one. There
has been a heavy frost for several nights
and the cold was so intense that where
the ground was broken with the pillow it
froze into chunks.

In the case of Edward Collier. recently

THEY VOTE ALREADY.

Miss Phebe Couzens says: The
time has not come, and l doubt seri-
ously whether 1t will ever come, when
women will get the ballot"
Women already have national suf-
frage in four countries-Australia
New Zealand, Finland and Norway;
full suffrage for all officers, from
president of the United States down,
in Colorado. Wyoming, Utah and
Idaho: municipal suffrage in Eng
land. Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Kan
sas and a large part of Europe;
school suffrage in 25 states of the
Union, and vote upon questions of
taxation in Louisiana, Montana, Iowa
and all the towns and villages of New
York state And most of this advance
has come about within the last Is
years. Evidently Miss Couzens has
not very clear eye to read the signs
of the etimes.-Woman's Tribune.

AN INCH" OF RAIN.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat pub
fishes little review of the meaning
of the expression, IAN inch of rain,"
which is of more than ordinary in
terest. The article is as follows;
Few people have an adequate idea
of the amount of water that descends
from the clouds during a rainstorm.
We read in the weather bulletins that
two or three inches of rain some-
times fall in a day, and that in our
last rainy spell nearly five inches fell
in As hours; but these figures really
convey viry little information to our
minds and give us no idea at all of the
prodigality of nature.
An acre contains 6,272,640 square
inches of surface, and an inch of rain
means, therefore, the same number
of cubic inches of water. A gallon
contains 277.27 cubic inches Of water
and an inch of rainfall means 22,622
gallons to the acre, and as gallon
of water weighs 10 pounds, the rain
fall on an acre is 226,22O pounds.
Counting 1000 pounds to the ton, an
inch of rain means over 113 tons per
acre. An acre is about half St. Louis
block, so that rainfall of an inch
means a downpour of about 226 tons
of water on every city block.
Multiply this by five, the number
of inches of rainfall during the wet
spell in the last week in May, and no
one can wonder that the cutters weiE
insufficient to carry off the water.
The occasional overflow of a sewer
in the lower part of town is regarded
as very remarkable thing, but the
wonder really is that there is not an
overflow every time it rains.

YESTERDAY OR TODAY.

Are the young voters of the United
States, and especially of the new and
virile west, more interested in the
antiquated discussions which engag-
ed Hamilton, jefferson, Madison and
the Adamses in the beginning of the
government, or in the present day
problems of railroad regulation, canal
building, reclamation, cleansing of
government departments and develop
ment of modern lines of thought?
What does it matter to the young
men of Umatilla county, in 1907,
whether Hamilton or Jefferson was
right? What does it matter whether
Lincoln or Douglas came out victori-
Gus in ong-drawn out debates half
a century ago? These are dead and
past issues. They do not concern the
present. Today's living problems with
which Theodore Roosevelt and Will
liam ]. Bryan and men like Folk, La
Toilette and Hughes are graphing
should be the only issues in today's
campaigns. We have outgrown the
past.
There is a beautiful type of scholar
ly gentlemen of the old school, like
Harvey Scott who live in their ancient
libraries. They are eloquent. gallant
chivalrous, earnest and dignified. The
speeches of the last century, however,
form their chief eloquence and their
thunder belongs to another age.
Their heavy, labored arguments,
their far-fetched, scholarly essays on
abstract, forgotten questions which
were involved in the foundation Of
the government, sound strangely out
of place among the dynamic heart
throbs Of today's vital progress.
What does it matter whether Ham,
ilton favored national banks or not?
The question is settled now. We have
thousands of national banks patroniz-
ed. advocated and supported by DEM
ocrats and republicans alike. What
does 1t matter whether Jefferson IA
vored a high or low tariff? The pres
ent day political parties are torn
asunder on this issue and no two
leading men in either party agree.
Let the scholarly old politicians live
in their libraries and think Of the
past. Let them study the oratory Of
the last century and quote the anath-
emas Of dead and forgotten politi-
cal leaders on the theory Of govern
ment, If 1t delights their hearts. But
this day and age demands something
more, modern, something of the pres
ent.

STATE OWNERSHIP PAYS.

In two years more. according to the
report of state Printer T. A. McNeal,
the state of Kansas will have paid for
its state printing plant with the money
saved on printing over the cost under
the old contract system
Mr.. McNeal has given out COM
| parative statement between the two
| years that the state has owned the
| plant, 1905-06 and 190607. and the
two previous years, 10000 and
| l904-05, when the plant was operat-
ed under the old system. The present
plan shows that Kansas has in the
past two fiscal years saved s4511,24
! over the two previous fiscal years.
Two years ago. July l, the state ap-
preparation of $141,0 became effec-
tive to run the plant under the pres
cnt system Not only were all condi-
tons met, and much larger volume
of work accomplished. but McNeal
used only $131,176,59 of the appro-
priation and turned back $952S.30 i'm
to the state treasury.
The total appropriation, including
the deficiency-and there usually has
been one in years past-for the fiscal
years 1903-O5 and 1904-05. under the
old system, was s195,6s7.S3. Taking
the difference between McNeal's fig
ures and that sum, gives McNeal and
the new system a saving of S64,511.24
| for two years alone.
The present state printing plant,
the equipment and the ground, with
the appropriation for equipment made
| this year and for additional ground
bought. makes the total cost of the
plant $91, 900. OF this amount the
state has saved $4,000 in two years.
"In another two years." said Mr..
McNeal, "the plant will be paid for
and we will be $4,000 ahead"
For the quarter just ended. COM
paratively the state saved s21,741.23
as against the old plan,-Topeka Jour-
nal.

ENTERPRISE OF OREGON TOWNS

Eugene has just raised $50, 900 by
popular subscriptions for the con-
struction Of an electric railroad into
that city. Albany has just subscribed
$4,000 for the erection of condens-
ed milk plant in that city. Pendle-
ton raised $4,000 in a few days last
spring for the sustenance Of Pendle-
ton academy and other towns have
made similar public-spirlted contribu-
tions 10 public enterprises.
These large contributions from the
public purse for private enterprises
are the truest means of judging the
spirit Of oregon cities. Nowhere else
in the United States is there seen
such ready response to the call Of
legitimate enterprises as in Oregon.
In one year ending April 1, 1907,
Pendleton raised over $4,000 In pub
lie subscriptions for charity, relief,
church construction, county fairs and
other purposes. And she did not no.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-07-27


H. H. Rogers, the partner of John
D. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil
robberies, has been stricken by sun
stroke and is in a critical condition
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Mr..
Rogers survives the stroke and lives
long enough yet, to see the thieving
system which he has assisted in build
ing, smashed into kindling wood by
the indignation of the people. 1t
would be fitting end for such a ca
reer to see the entire trust system
to which Rogers and his ilk have de-
voted their energy, brains and skill,
swept from the face of the earth and
the entire lifework of these old bri-
gands, destroyed before their eyes.
Legitimate competition and legiti-
mate business methods are never to
be censured, but Rogers and his gang
have never been in legitimate busi-
ness. 1t has been cut-throat game
from the beginning. They are not
even square thieves.

GET CoAI-AND THEN GET COAL

The Union Pacific railway now has
212,O00 tons of coal stored along its
lines for emergency use during the
expected coal famine next winter.
This should be a hint to people
needing coal, to secure it now. A
month from now may be too late.
The railroads expect a famine and
they know whereof they speak. If
there is danger of a famine now, four
months before winter, and people
have warning of the danger now, they
cannot blame the railroads when the
famine actually arrives.
Comparatively few people are or
dering coal in advance. They are sim.
ply drifting along as usual, trusting
to luck to supply. them at the last
desperate moment.

EUCLID DISMISSED.

Within the last few years a revolu-
ton has been accomplished at oxford
which ought really to affect the mind
of the nation more than the differ
ence between Lord Curzon and Lord
Rosebery. A textbook has been dis
carded which was already venerable
for its antiquity at the beginning of
the Christian era. Needless to say, we
are referring to Euclid's Elements"
For what other textbook ever had
such a run as that? 1t has been ac-
cepted ever since its publication. which
was in the reign of the first Ptolemy
(B. C. 323-2S5). No writer has ever
become so identified with a science as
Euclid with geometry. The nearest
approaches are to be found in the re-
latlon of Aristotle to logic and of Ad-
am Smith to political economy-Lon-
don Spectator.

TILL GREAT DESERT.

The worthless area OF the Sahara
desert is proving smaller than has
been believed. Professor e. +. Gau-
tier, the first explorer since 1925 to
cross from Algeria to the Niger, has
lately found in the Adrar plateau
$50 miles from Gao, on the Niger, a
wide belt Of steppe having from six
to 12 inches of rain year and
covered with ponds and grass. Evil
dences Of a large stonr age popula-
ton abound, including weapons,
grinding stones. rock drawings and
graves. 1t appears that the region
must have gradually dried up, but
that the decert conditions are now
disappearing and the rain belt is
again extending more and more to
the north.

Oregon is a successful money lend
er and now has loaned out from her
irreducible school fund, on first mort
gage loans the sum of s3,s72,150, at 6
per cent. The total amount of the
irreducible school fund is now s4,203,-
369, the sum Of s314,945 being invest
ed in school district bonds bearing 0
and per cent. If the state can sue
cessfully loan this amount of money
on farm property with no loss what
ever, is 1t not reasonable to believe
that the same honest and efficient
management could operate state print
ing plants, state railroads and other
public utilities? With every report
of the state treasurer showing the
states successful business manage
ment, the objections to state owner
ship of public utilities are swept
away

NO LATE HOURS IN VIENNA.

The Viennese take their pleasures
as regularly as they do their meals,
but they do not neglect business or
keep late hours. One thing perhaps
which helps to keep the young Vien-
nese OF moderate means and econom-
ical mind regular in his evening hours
is the fact, that he must pay to get
into his own rooms after 10 o'clock.
