or the single tax or some other re-
form which promises immediate re-
lief to the suffering millions in the
slums.
The best part of Mr.. Riis lecture
on slum conditions was that in which
he turned the lime light on the
slothful citizenship of the country,
which through its greed for gold and
lust for power, has crowded "Tony"
from the school houses, from the
churches from his miserable hovel
of a home, from every pleasant place
in which he might have developed
normally into usefulness.
New York is a magnified picture
of every other American city and
conditions there are found in smaller
degree in every city and therefore
the Riis lecture and the Rils theory
applies to Pendleton as vitality as OF
New York.
The idle, vicious, abused boy, run
ming wild in the streets, will grow up
to be an unfit citizen in Pendleton
Just as truly as in New York, and it
is the duty of society to improve the
environment of her half dozen
street gamins in Pendleton just as
much as it is a duty to improve the
conditions of the million gamins in
the metropolis.
The Riis lecture left a deep i'm
print While he is no finished ora
tor, yet he is filled with a vital sub
ject and his sentences are like bull
lets--driving straight to the mark.

TONY" is a name adopted by Jacob
Riis to characterize the children of
the slums, the offspring of poverty,
misery and crime.
And those who were fortunate
enough to hear Mr.. Riis last night
were treated to a most thrilling pic

character, his oppressors and his In
fluence on the citizenship Of the fu-
ture.
The life Of the mudslinging child of
the slums is the natural result of
present social conditions and in pri-
vate conversation in this city Mr..
Riis admitted that in studying the
social condition OF the tenements Il
was necessary for him to take a firm
grip on his republicanism, to pre-

Il myself should look upon his re.

his candidacy would be INCIDENTALLY
popular in California. The president
is conscientious. an able man. thor
oughly familiar with public issues,
and no interests would be jeopar-

ecution upon any one man. Washing.

NORTHERN VOLCANOES ARE

Nome. Alaska, Dec. 2.-Nome. and
probably the entire Seward peninsula,
is shrouded in an ashy haze, and the
ground for miles is covered several
inches deep with Il fine, gritty pow
der which is believed TO be volcanic
ash. The storm began several days
ago. the dust blowing in from the
ocean. but at first little attention was
paid to the freak OF nature, as it was
expected that it would soon cease.
Instead. however, the fall continued.
and after a day became SO dense as
to seriously interfere with out-of-door
pursuits. Miners coming into town re-
ported that for miles die snow was so
impregnated with the ashes that sled-
ding was almost impossible. Further,
the air is so full of ashes that breath
ing is difficult. and the fine powder
has sifted into houses and Business
places TO such an extent that it is
thick on floors, goods and household
furniture.
No serious results are anticipated
but much Inconvenience is being
caused by the peculiar storm.

 MT. Donaghey has decided opin- ions on many matters of public in- terest, one being the completion of the statehouse. In discussing that matter this morning, he said:
 "The building ought to have been finished for the amount ap- propriated. With the stopping of the work at this time the state is losing just the difference between the building as 1t stands and the completed structure. y
 MT. Donaghcy will not make his campaign upon this issue alone, however. He has decided opin- ions upon upon corporation mat ters, and has given the question of the convict lease system considera- ble thought. He is one of the best known men in the state, and owns considerable property in this city. He is a most successful business man. He was student at the University of Arkansas, and is one of the best friends of that institu- tion in the state: His position on public matters is particularly we'll known, and his race for the gov- ernorship will be watched with no little interest. st.-Arkansas Demo crat, August 26.

The efforts of the Beebe News to keep itself sheltered under the coat tail of Jeff Davis are amusing to its readers. It seems that the sen ator does not keep the News as we'll posted as he might, and, as Jeff is somewhat shifty, 1t keeps the News editor side-stepping to stay in line. When Acting Gov ernor Pindall first assumed his present position and attempted to veto bill which Davis was inter ested in defeating, the News stopped over with enthusiastic praise of the young executive. A few weeks later, when it began to appear that the acting governor was not entirely underneath Jeff $ thumb, the News began tirade of abuse of him, which has Coutiu- ued ever since.
