CLARINGroN, o.. Dec. 3O.--Edward
Hutchinson. the Baltimore and Ohio
RailroaG station agen' here, was

Hutchinson. After taking his watch
and money they ransacked the station.
The theosy advanced to explain the

evidently decided to burn Hutchinson
as he lay bound in order to conceal
their identity.

STATEMENT No. 1, A RESUME.

In all the discussion of statement
No. l engaged in by the Pendleton
Tribune during the week just past, the
following pertinent points may be ad-
duced:
The Tribune is opposed to statement
No. and counsels prospective candi-
dates for the legislature to refuse to
take it.
The Tribune believes that not the
peoples choice, but the party's choice,
for United States senator should be
elected by the legislature, regardless
Of the popular vote.
The Tribune is not willing TO trust
the election of United States senator
to the people of Oregon, through fear
of the election of a candidate not a
republican.
The Tribune counsels the overthrow
OF the popular election of United
states senators by the people, be-
cause it fears that Independent voting
among the people may be the means
of electing an Independent candidate
In short, the Tribune believes in the
sacredness of party in politics and is
willing to take the power out Of the
peoples hands If independence threat
ems to overthrow partisan plans.
But the "keenest cut of all" is that
the Tribune does not take the pledges
OF republican members of the legisla-
ture seriously. when 1t says that there
'is no evidence that Gearin would
have been elected although he may
have received a larger popular vote
than Bourne" This is a direct impu-
tation OF dishonesty on part of re-
publicans who honestly signed and
observed statement No. in the last
| election.

HISTORY OF THE FLAG.

one hundred and thirty years ago,
the American congress enacted, on
June IA, 1777, that the flag of the
13 United States be 13 stripes, alter
mating red and white; that the Union
be lS stars, white in a field of blue
representing a new constellation.
No provision was made at that time
for new states. and the future growth
of the United States was evidently not
considered by congress at the time
the act became a law, hence in 1918
another enactment was found neces-
sary to provide for representation of
new states in the flag, and congress
ordained: THAT from and after the
ith day of July next. the flag of the
United States be 13 horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white, that the
Union be 90 stars, white in a blue
field. and that on the admission of a
new state into the union, one star be
added to the Union flag: and such
condition take effect on the fourth
day of July next succeeding such ad-
mission"
In 1887 the American Flag associ-
alton was formed, having for its object
| the promotion of reverence for the
flag. and now Flag Day has become
to be recognized as a national ami
versary by the American people
Throughout the larger cities the an
niversary is observed by a liberal dis
play of national colors. and in many
Instances the decorations are elabor'
ate and beautiful.

JEWS THE LONGEST LIVED.

We saw. many years ago, says
George T. Angel in "our Dumb Ami
mails" that. it had been ascertained
by statistics that in England anG some
European countries, Jews
lived, on the average, about five years
longer than Christians.
In an annual report of the state
board of health of Wisconsin, we find
an article on Homes for the People" !"
written by General James Bintliff of
Darlington. England, which seems to
confirm the above statement
For very many centuries the Jews
were systematically prosecuted by
governments and people all over Eur
ope, condemned to live in paTticulor
quarters in all the principal cities,
and robbed jthout scrup'e by the
ruling class If they were so ill-advised
rs to make a show of comfort or
wealth. Under such and manifold
other disadvantages, they adhered
more or less strictly to the rules of
life with reference to personal purifi-
cation, laid down for them of old time,
and we find them leading the whole
human race today in the essentials of
vitality
"Prussian statistics show that the
mortality per year among 100000 Jews
Il less by 500 than the deaths in the
same term among the same number
of Christians. the numbers being 2161
Jews to 1861 Christians; and in every
particular the chosen people manifest
greater powers of endurance. A few

BALAKALAvA's 2s SURVIVORS.

On October %, 1854, Lord Lucan
commanding the British cavalry at
Ralaklava, through a misconception
of the orders of the commander-in-
chief, Lord Raglan, directed Lord
Cardigan to make the charge of the
Light Brigade, immortalized by
Tennyson's poem. With a battery in
front and one on each side go horse
men hewed their way past the guns
and routed the Russian cavalry. OF
the go only 1SS-"all that was left
cf them"-rode back.
Today, nearly fifty-three years
later, one out of every seven of the
men who rode back is alive. With
this percentage of survivors there
could nave been but few weaklings
in Lord Cardigan's brigade.
T. II. Roberts, who for years has
conducted a fund for the benefit OF
the needy survivors of one of the
most brilliant feats ever credited to
British soldiers, has just issued an ap'
peal through a London newspaper
for contributions. For 2S needy
verified survivors he received $2.5C
in April and paid out $500.
If republics are ungrateful," what
must be said OF empires?

THE PORTLAND BOOM.

There is an enormous amount of
eastern Oregon money going into Port
land real estate, in speculation. But
4 is questionable whether it is safe
to venture further with the excessively
high prices Of real estate now prevail
ing in the metropolis.
Additions to the city are being laid
out in the vicinity of Mt. Hood and
Oregon City, as it were, and there is
no evidence now that these outlying
districts will be settled soon. Money
invested in the far outskirts where
property is now comparatively cheap,
will perhaps lie idle for many years
and may not then, or ever, pay high
returns on the Investment, as is now
expected.
Fabulous prices prevail in all the
growing suburbs Of Portland and good
Investments have been made there,
but not all the proffered investments
are safe, and eastern Oregon people
not perfectly familiar with conditions
and prices Of Portland real estate
should hesitate before sinking all their
surplus cash there in the expectation
Of becoming independently rich in a
year from increase in property prices

THE NEW INDIAN.

We have the new woman, new
thought, new nation, new faith, new
age and now comes the new Indian.
Formerly it was easy to inveigle the
Umatillas into street carnivals, parades
and professions. They took a delight
in exhibiting themselves in public and
were always on hand on the slightest
solicitation.
But now Fourth of July committees
plead in vain for handful of Indians
for a parade. Flower shows and
fiesta professions beckon in vain to
Paul Showaway. There is no longer
any allurement for him and his braves
In the once coveted publicity. Now
they only crave the river bank and
the shade of the soughing pines.
There is not enough money in the
rose show treasury to entice Paul
to go with his once vociferous band
OF dancers to Portland these hot days.
Their place in the procession will be
vacant. fr'e.VI1f
Baker City has pleaded in vain for
Just four real Indians for her Fourth
of July parade, in order to make
good" her advertised indian feature,
But even the higher attitudes, crisp
morning air and Elk creek water OF
Baker City have failed to arouse the
sleeping patriotism in Pauls veins
and
Wei, when Pendleton wants real
rousing. realistic indian song and wal

PASSING OF LEGISLATURES.

The Denver News calls attention to
a significant political evolution or de-
velopment which is now taking place
in the United States and which is sig
nallzed more particularly in the re-
suits of the recent legislative session
in the state of New York. 1t is the
passing of the legislatures of the va
rious states into the hands of special
or centralized interests, either political
or Industrial, and deserves attention.
The News says:
The papers of the entire country
have teemed with praises of Governor
Hughes of New York-and rightly.
He is all that an executive should be.
He has shown it possible for a clean
man in the governors chair to get the
legislation which the people want,
without resorting to the trades and
bedevilments of practical" polite
ians.
He has made a record that takes
him appreciably nearer the White
House, and If he should indeed be
Roosevelts successor, the only ones
who would regret his choice are those
whose dislike is sure index of the
value of a public official.
But there is something about this
New York situation which is by no
means so pleasant. That is the virtual
abdication of the legislature. Hughes
has literally bossed the whole works.
He has done it by the clean might Of
public opinion; he has been fair and
above board about the whole matter,
and he has acted steadily for the in
terests of the people.
But the point is that one of the
three great branches of government
has practically ceased to exist. Its
chief business has been to carry out
the orders of the executive, grumbling
the while, but obeying.
And the condition in New York is
repeated in nearly every state in the
Union. The state legislatures have
lost their power. Sometimes the gov
ernor has picked it up, sometimes the
courts, often, too often, it has gone
into the irresponsible hands of the "in.
terests.' But everywhere it has es
capped or is escaping from the hands
into which it was originally given.

for the reason that all the wholesale
firms belonged to the association and
refused to sell him stock with which
to carry on his trade and he refused
to be coerced into joining the associa-
ton.
The result was that this indepen-
dent dealer was forced to send in or
ders under the names of people living
in the country. He made up list of
so farmers and ordered large stock
OF furniture through these fictitious
orders and in this way secured enough
goods to carry on his business.
There is nothing remarkable in
this except to show how Independent
dealers are forced to fight for exist
ence where a trust reigns supreme.

results obtained from 100000 on each
side will show how complete and ad-
vantageous is the contrast favoring
the Jews.
There were among the Christians
143 still-births; among the Jews So
a difference of "a to our disadvantage.
1t might be supposed that the decreas-
ed number of still-births would be off
set by a larger average of weakness
in the offspring of Israel, but precise
ly the reverse is the fact, as only 453
children of that race die under year,
while 697, or more than so per cent
above the Jewish average die in the
first year out of the aggregate Of
Christian births. In the four years
next ensuing, 3S6 Jewish children die:
the offspring of Christians, already
much smaller in number, still heading
the death rate by nearly 25 per cent,
the numbers being ATT. From years
old to IA, 151 children of the Jewish
third more or 202, Christian children
die. From that age until 25 the Jews
lose 1875. the Christians 155.
Outing the 20 years ending at As
there is loss among the Jews of 2S1
and among the Christians 334 or 1913
in excess. So marked was the exemp-
ton of the Jews from the plaques that
decimated all nations during the mid
die ages that they were charged with
having poisoned wells and springs, and
only active interference on the part
of the authorities prevented a general
massacre of the cleanliest people on
the continent"
