COMPLAINS OF THE RINK.

DR.. John V. Shoemaker in the
Medical Bulletin OF the current month
makes a decisive and powerful argu-
ment against the skating rink as an
amusement. He not only objects to
the physical objections to it, but he
also complains bitterly of the moral
issues involved.
He says that the violent exercise
and the sudden draughts and changes
of air in Kinks not only lay founda-
tons for consumption and other fatal
lung diseases, but that the excitement
and exallation also develop weak
hearts, undermine nervous systems
and dc irreparable harm to health
and life.
Another objection which he raises
is that everybody goes to the skating
rink. There is no distinction. Good
bad and Indifferent people must min
gle together and the tendency is bad
Young boys and girls learn to look
lightly upon evil associates and be-
come calloused to the touch of the
vicious and immoral element.
Altogether DR.. Shoemaker's article
is scathing arraignment of the
skating rink as an amusement.

gerous practice on its present scale
In American cities and we should dis
courage it, Manufacturers who cater
to the trade are more to blame for
the vicious firecracker than the boys
who fire the crackers. The manufac-
turers who make and send out the
giant crackers and bombs are enemies
to the home.
In san Francisco they have in one
of the hospitals a Juvenile emergency
ward for children suffering from
tetanus or lockjaw caused by toy
pistols and firecrackers, and not a
Fourth of July passes but some little
fellow dies in that ward, after hours
of awful suffering with lockjaw.
Let us discourage the habit. 1t is
not American. 1t expresses nothing
which an American would indorse. 1t
is Chinese throughout, an old pagan
custom coming down through the
Grass ignorance OF the dark centuries
in that blind land.
The firecracker was conceived and
manufactured by the Chinese to scare
"the devil" away. That is its history
What is there in this use that any
American can admire? What is there
in it that an American should even
tolerate?

ODDITIES OF PANAMA.

Looking. over a parapet wall Of
concrete a foot thick and breast high,
one may see In miniature at the
jamestown exposition the Isthmus of
Panama as It will appear after the
great ditch has been dug by Uncle
Sam, says a Panama letter.
A civil engineer, C. H. johnson,
who Is in the employ of the Panama
Canal commission, is experimenting
the construction Of a great relief map
fine piece Of typographical work
which covers sixth of an acre near
one of the government buildings.
There is popular fallacy that the
Pacific ocean is four feet higher than
the Atlantic at the Isthmus, but there
is no scientific data to substantiate
that proposition. The fact is that in
that latitude the moon fails to make
It's impress on the Atlantic ocean,
while it gives the Pacific a tide OF
25 feet.
II one, starting out to comprehend
the situation, would get his bearings
1t is necessary that he should under
stand at the outset that the Isthmu'
does not extend north and south as
he may suppose, though its hills are
| a continuation of the mountain range

THE FIRECRACKER HABIT.

!. With all the American hatred for
the Chinese, the American has adopt
ed the most vicious habit of the Chi
naman and it has now become a part
of the national life of the United
States.
The firecracker habit is Chinese in
conception and propagation. He
first fired nasty, sizzling little crack
ers to scare the devil away from his
threshold every morning, then he con-
ceived larger cracker to scare the
devil away on New Year day in the
hope that one big cracker would keep
him away all the year.
That is the history of the fire.
cracker habit. 1t is Chinese from
top to bottom, and expresses nothing
in the way of patriotism which Amer
leans should emulate.
1t smells of the Chinese den and
STILES the nostrils of Americans with
burning odors from the joss house
It is an impertinent, narrowing, dan

THE PEOPLE ARE SAFE.

The rank and file of political par
ties, the great mass of the people
who form the backbone of the ma
tions, are always to be depended up
on, but y r-.-.
Leaders of political parties, men
with selfish ambitions, men with
"axes to grind" men in search of
office from the cradle to the grave,
men who are willing to smother pop
ular measures because they curb per-
sonal ambitions and check the graf
ification of personal and selfish de-
sires,-well, these are all right in
their way, but it is good thing that
the people always have the last say.
The leaders do not always want
what the people want. The people
want the wisest popular government,
the fullest expression Of citizenship,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-28

while leaders would much rather have
the situation "in hand" as it We're,
and would very much like to be able
to fix things just little at times,
Ii is always so much easier to ac-
complish political aims if there Is a
great big, we'll oiled, noiseless but
powerful machine in operation. That
Is the difference between parties and
party leaders.

THE BUSINESS MANS BURDEN

The Adams Express company is
about to distribute among sharehold-
crs s24,0O0,00O in collateral trust
bonds representing the uccuniulated
surplus assets of the corporation.
Nine years ago 1t distributed $4,000.
900.
AS the company is capitalized for
$12,000,000 1t will have declared in
nine years special dividends amount
ing to 900 per cent, plus the regular
per cent dividend, and an OCCASION
al per cent extra.
1t is such figures as these that
make us all more or less socialists.
There is no excuse in the world for a
public service corporation charging
so much for its services that 1t can
pay 200 per cent dividends.
No matter how perfect the service
or comparatively moderate the
charges the company is getting more
than It should from the people when
IL can pay 200 per cent dividends to
its shareholders.
1t is such gratis as this that pile up
the burdens on the small business
man.
II the people owned the express
systems and the telegraph and tele-
| phone systems, the political influ-
ences of these corporations would be
| removed and their enormous profits
would remain in circulation in the
channels Of trade.

THE LUMBER TRUST AGAIN

1t is quite probable that the ex-
tcrtion of the lumber trust OF the
northwest will prevent the erection Of
the boys dormitory of Pendleton
academy this year. Owing to recent
advances in the price of lumber, all
the bids on the dormitory are so high
that they are simply prohibitive.
The academy will refuse to be held
UP in broad daylight.
If there ever was a trust which
needed busting" it is the northwest
lumber combination. This Internal
combination is doing more to hurt
the country and delay development
than all the other trusts combined.
Pendleton would have added from
90 to 25 elegant new residences this
year but for the robbery of the trust.
AS it is building has stopped and
the croakers are bowling about the
town being dead. 1t is dead, from
the building standpoint, because the
people refused to be robbed.
There is no reason for the constant
advances in the price of lumber.
Freight rates have not advanced,
wages are about the same in the mills
that they have been for 20 years, and
it is simply a hold-up game.
The people of Oregon should petit
ton the department of justice to get
after this combination. There is
plenty of evidence to convict bunch
of the members and the country is
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-28

which in South America is known as
the Andes and in North America Is
known as the Rocky mountains.
Nor does the Isthmus run east and
west as some maps seem to indicate.
The general direction of the canal
extends from Panama on the Pacific
northwesterly to Colon on the Allan
tic. People in Panama instead OF
locking landward to see the sunrise
and out over the Pacific to see the
sun set, really look eastward to see
the sun rise in an estuary of the Pa
cific, and see it set on the land ho-
rizon TO the west.

Kerosene in Ga, Engine,

During the past year or two expe-
rimeuts have been made that have
demonstrated the feasibility of using
kerosene in gasoline engines. The
only attachment necessary is two.way
feed and overflow pipes It is best
to run on gasoline until the cylinder
is thoroughly heated, after which the
engine will run just as veil on kero-
Gene, and will, it is said, develop
more power per gallon of fuel used.
The Worthingtop Pluming Co. made
the attachments for US at cost that
was saved out of The first months gas
bill. One good way to beat Rookie
feller is to save 7 cents per gallon on
your fuel bill. Now if some genus
would only demonstrate that kero-
sene will work just as wellin gasoline
stoves, joy would be complete.

How Quickly is the Change.

Every newspaper with an expert
ence reaching over a number of years
can testify to the truth Of this from
the Willmar Journal: How quickly
will man change his tune in regard
to the newspaper man! When the
the sun is shining bright, and there
are no clouds in sight, he sometimes
heaps indignities where none are de-
served, with impunlty. But when the
sky becomes suddenly overcast, and
something happens that he desires
suppressed, then how he will try to
explain and beg. And generally the
newspaper man will swallow his feel.
ings aud show how magnanimous he
really is. The feelings of an enemy
have been spared, and the public de-
MED choice morsel. And the news
paper man knows that the man he has
spared will stab. him again at the first
opportunity. Such is life. ri,
