A BOX OF STRAWBERRIES,

There is really nothing Of interest
or importance in a box Of strawber-
ries. Strawberries are to be secured,
II you are willing to pay the price, in
almost any month In the year.
But the East oregonian feels an
interest in the box of Strawberries
presented by the people Of Umatilla
to the Portland business mems excur-
sion yesterday.
1t was the first box to ripen on the
sandy soil Of Umatilla and in rlpening
by May 10, gives promise Of the hid
den productiveness of that soil and
climate.
II one box on May 10, why not a
carload? If It is possible to raise
berries there at all, and to ripen them
at this season Of the year, why may
not this become the leading straw
berry region In the west?
The berries are in demand every
where. They could be shipped to
every market in the west at immense
profits at this season and so II 1t is
possible to produce box of ripe ber-
ries by May 10, why not have hun
dreds Of acres of them ripe at this
date?

upon chicane. Above all things he
values stealth, and makes cult of
secrecy.
Much of this is pretense, affecta-
ton, vanity. Our great Captains Of
Industry" be it known, are as vain
as so many grease-paint soubrettes.
They suffer from what the alienists
describe as exaggerated ego"
At the close of a hard-fought day
on change they drive to their clubs
the Union League, the Knicker-
booker. the Union. They walk
through the rooms, speaking to no
one, nodding to no one, wrapped in
that mantle of a worldless, sightless
abstraction which is the natural gar
menture of your truly great.
For all that pretended abstraction
their vanity-bitten ears are on the
strain. AS they pass. the sibilant
whispers go round:
There's Hartmann That's Nor
gan! Here comes Schwab"
These whispers of awe and admira-
ton are to them the veriest incense Of
the ear, In them they find the cheap
echo of their power. Also 1t is the
conceit thus fostered that teaches
these rich bindings to defy law,
scorn control and treat a public with
contempt.

SAN FRANCIsCo's SHAME.

San Francisco is having a little IL
lustration Of the old proverb that 1t
never rains but 1t pours. Earthquake
and fire, the carnival of graft in the
ruined city, the unpleasant though
necessary exposure of the sins of the
community, and now the street car
strike and the resulting riots. Truly,
the cup of her calamity is pressed
down and running over.
It is much too soon to give an au-
thoritative opinion on the merits of
the strike. 1t is not at all too soon
to pronounce that rioting which has
reddened the streets is wholly unjus-
| tifiable, though we have no present
means of fixing the Just apportion-
ment of the blame. AS usual, 1t
would sem to be the camp followers
of union labor, rather than the work.
men themselves, who have been fore
most in the troubles.
AS usual, too, the armed strike
breaker has acted like thug, whose
purpose is less the lawful one of self
defense than the desire to get an ex-
cuse for shooting. At least two po-
licemen seem to have fallen victims to
this love of target practice, and while
no one would hold brief for the San
Francisco police on general principles,
it is very unlikely that they have
been engaged in murderous assaults
on the strikebreakers.
The worst feature in the whole situ-
alton is the utter absence of respect
for the city administration, whose
duty it is to hold the balance even
and keep order in the present crisis
Mayor Schmitz is a known CRATER
and a weak CRATER at that. He
cannot even command the respect Of
his fellows in iniquity, let alone thai
of the city.at large.
Half the city council is under In
dictment for bribery and corruption
the fire and police boards are honey
combed with fraud, and the man whC
was long the unseen sultan OF the city
Abraham Ruef, is too near the peni
tentiary to exercise much power fol
good or evil.
The labor unions elected the cit,
administration. the corporations
bought it after election, and both de
spise it.

THE WOMAN MOVEMENT.

There is a large class of American
men who hold that woman's sphere
of life and action should be entirely
distinct from that of man. Holding
this view, they oppose the higher edu-
cation for women, woman's clubs, CO.
education, woman's Industrial pro-
gress, and, above all, woman's par
ticipation in politics.
This attitude of mind they call
chivalry and conservatism. But a
recent sociological work. Sex and So
ciety" by Prof. william I. Thomas,
of the University Of Chicago, shows
that this so-called chivalry and con-
servatism are nothing but plain bar
barism.
Prof. Thomas says: "In early times
mans superior physical force
resulted in contempt for the weak
ness of women, and an almost COM
plete separation in interest between
himself and the women of the group"
In New Caledonia, zululand, Bech-
uanaland, Senegambia and other un-
civilized countries there Is no social
intercourse between men and women;
woman is never allowed to do the
work which a man does, while a man
considers himself disgraced and hu-
INFLATED II forced to do a woman's
work.
Prof. Thomas quotes description
of the life of a Chinese woman, and
adds:
while no one would make any
question that women confined as these
in New ireland and China must have
an intelligence as restricted as their
lives, we are apt to lose sight alto
gether Of the fact that chivalry and
chaperonage and modern convention
are the persistence of the old race
habit of contempt for women and
their intellectual sequestration."
As civilization advances the line OF
demarkation between the spheres OF
man and woman becomes fainter, and
nations progress may thus be trac-
ed by studying the progress Of It's wo-
men.
The woman movement" in other
words, means civilization and what
ever obstructs or delays that move
ment is a tendency towards barbar-
ism.
The measure OF a country's civili-
zation is the measure Of a freedom
allowed its women, and since America
has fallen behind Europe in the mat
ter of granting political freedom to
women, American statesmen would do
well to ponder the closing words Of
Prof. Thomas book:
Certain 1t is that no civilization
can remain the highest unless It
adds the intelligence of its women
to the intelligence Of its men,"

THE SHINING ROAD.

Come, sweetheart, let US ride away
beyond the city's bound,
And seek what pleasant lands across
the distant hills are found.
There is a golden light that shines
beyond the verge Of dawn,
And there are happy highways lead
ing on and always on.
So, sweetheart, let us mount and ride
with never a backward glance,
To find the pleasant shelter of the
Valley of Romance.
Before us. down the golden road,
floats dust from charging
steeds,
Where two adventurous companies
clash loud in mighty deeds;
And from the tower that stands alert,
like Some tall beckoning pine,
Fen now, my heart, I see afar the
lights Of welcome shine!
So loose the rein and cheer the steed
and let US race away
To seek the lands that lie beyond the
Borders Of Today.

HARTMAN, MAN OF MYSTERY.

Alfred Henry Lewis, editor of HUI

picture of e. H. Hartman:
Hartman is a postmaster of the

terry. No one is to know his politics.
He desires no friends; those with
whom he acts are but allies. He may
be fighting them tomorrow. In his
wars he gives no quarter, shows no

dence, and revels in surprise based

OREGON COWS TO HONG KONG.

Among the valuable cargoes that go
to the orient this week from Portland
is one that is of particular interest to
the stockraisers Of the northwest. It
is herd of 40 milch cows bound for
Hong Kong. The American COW is be-
ginning to be known and appreciated
in the orient and from appearances
there will be heavy demand for her
in the near future. One of the capi-
talists Of japan has written Secretary
Welch of the state board Of agricul-
ture that he is coming soon to take
home a herd of pure bred mixers
from Oregon. The same boat that
carries the 40 head, took - head on

NOT EMBEZzLER
SAYS THE JURY
Driver of Wagon Simply Sold Oil
Saved by Use of Measure
Which Was Slightly
Short

Wilbur Fairchild, accused by E. r. KEEL
lam of embezzlement, was acquitted by a
jury yesterday after it had been out ten
minutes.
Fairchild had been in the employ of the
Diamond Oil company as a deliverer of
Gil Each morning when he took out his
stock to deliver the quantity was charged
up against him at the office, When he
returned the money and remaining oil
were turned in. The company also had
made a practice of allowing the men ex-
pense money to treat customers with.
Kelam said that Fairchild had sold So
worth of oil, which money he did not
turn in to the office. Fairchild said that
the oil he sold was excess gained by a
"skimp'' measure which the company
gave its men to use. He said that every
gallon measured in the can gave the firm
an excess of about pint. Fairchild sold
this oil and kept the money. Kellam
thought that he ought to have it, The

not guilty and he was discharged by the

RACE PREJUDICE DELAYS
SECURING OF THE JURY

The trial of G. S. Chan, Chinese doc
tor charged by the state board of medical
examiners with practicing medicine with
out a license, was begun before Justice
Rose yesterday morning When the court
adjourned at night but little Roadway had
been made in the case. Two lonesome
jurors had been sitting in the jurors box
for many hours, waiting for ten other
men to join them. One hundred and
twenty men were examined yesterday and
cut of the entire number only two were
qualified to sit as jurors in a case III
which a Chinese was on trial. Most of
the men excused said that their race
prejudice would not allow them to give
an unbiased consideration of the evidence
presented before them. Several were not
listed on last years tax roll of the city.
Attorneys Jones and Weller for the de-
Tense objected to all of the men excused.
They said last night that they regretted
so much of the court time was being
used in securing jury, but the interests
of their client demanded that they have
an unprecedented jury.
When the two venres of sixty each had
been exhausted Patrolman Roller was in
structed by Justice Rose to bring in an
other venire of sixty men on Monday
morning at 10 o'clock An effort will be
made then to obtain jury that will give
the Chinese fair trial.

WON'T SHOW LENIENCY
TO HABITUAL DRINKS

When Justice Chambers finds that any
of the inebriates who are brought before
him have been taking advantage of his
leniency in giving them straight fines and
discharging them If they cannot nav the
fine his leniency ceases and the unlucky
offender gets a sentence heavier than
usual. This happened in two cases yes
terday, when s. e. Smith and Frank
Valencia were arraigned on charges OF
drunkenness. "
Smith was sentenced to fifteen DAYS
straight in Jail. He was not given the.
alternative of fine. Smith had Just been
released from the court room twenty-four
hours before, and when the bailiff noticed
his name on the docket again he notified
the judge, who lectured Smith and sent
him TO Jail for fifteen days
The other man, Valencia, has been in
Jail for drunkenness no less than five times
in twenty-five days He was arrested for
the fourth time last Monday, when Judge
Chambers began his new method of giving
all drunks straight fines or discharging
them. Valencia got off easy that time and
perhaps thought he would this time. but
Justice Chambers sentenced him to ten
days In jail or to pay SO fine
