SAYS STATE IS READY
Speaker of the House Of Reprcsen-
tatiyes e. ". Justice was first to speak
for the prosecution. He held that 1t
was not incumbent on him to answer
in any way the argument of Mr.. BUS
bee as to the constitutionality of the
rate act. That was matter
that Judge Long had ruled on al
ready--a question Of law for the judge
and not for the jury at all.
AS to any further attempts to divert
this case to the Federal courts he dc
clared that he and associate counsel
were ready to meet any move that TIE
defense might make step by step, no
matter what sort of n writ or pro-
cess might come. He denied any evil
dence that the ticket was for more
than eight miles. and said the jury
would remcmbcr seeing Mr.. Bnsbee
take long blueprint from his pockeel
and he and Mr.. Thorn looking over II

to the Judge to conflne Mr., Justice t
the evidence. and that there was NJ
evidence of any such performance
There was sharp firing and Mr.

POVERTY AND CRIME
COST SIX BILLIONS.
That Is Americas Record, and
Yearly Increase in Wealth Is
Only Five Billion.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-"This coun.
try spends s6oo0,oOo,ooo annually on
the criminal, pauper and vicious
classes, and the annual increase OF
wealth is only s5,OoooO0,00o. Does not
that look as if the public were banK
rupt?''
This statement was made in leg
.ture by@Dr. Charles j. Bushnell, who is
conducting a model public playground
here. He is a graduate of Heidelberg
University and an authority on clNfc
matters. DR.. Bushnell has the support
of the leading citizens of Washington
in his work.
DR.. Bushnells figures are taken, ne
says, from authoritative sources ana
represent years of careful study. He
challenges any one to dlsproVe tnetr
accuracy. He and his wife have made
special study Of what they call "
continuing, DIR. Bushnell said:
"Why, til g $4,000, 100000 that this ma
ton spends every year on its criminal
cases equals the amount spent on al
public libraries. the 1ouhSa
Mems Christian Association, the saliva
ton Army, public hospitals, asylums
for the insane and all benevolent In
! situations.
4 The average factory hand earns s440
/ a year, while it is estimated that the
average criminal costs the public at
/ least $1,000 aFyear.
"Disease as a result ofavicious habits
lis on the increase suicides are In
4 creasins six times as fast as the popu-
4 lation. and murders three times as fast,
a insanity is also increasing faster than

Il And these deaths by accidents, due

that the Southern's practice was all

1t and to know it. He was proud of his superior. Complaint Is made that promotion from the. ranks has turn ed the head of many hon-coms in the army who feel that they are better than their officers in a multitude of ways--far better looking in many in- stances, more soldierly looking be- cause they are selected by their com pany officers for such qualifications, whereas some of the officers who have been put Into the army are a sight to behold, and their men are ashamed of them. Beyond all this, where is the social distinction or superiority of the one over the other?
 In the ranks we find the same ele- ment of strife for something that each one has not, and the more one gets the more he wants, and there is no peace, The worst of the business ia that nothing Is suggested to be done that can be done that will stay the growing discontent, Is 1t not possi- ble that the more pay and the high CT class man you get for an ordln- SAS oNANiSA 2 JOJ lftC StSdb6T VIII be his demands, and demands mean in- subordination, and insubordination
 means lack of discipline, and when
 there is no discipline there's a mob. Another radical trouble The army is full of boys, and boys are not men, and they lack the sense of responsi- bility. These are some of the things in the army it is difficult to see how we are to get rid of Perhaps more pay will attract higher grade of men, and perhaps, too, in that case a stop may be put to eniisting men un- der twenty would help matters. It Is the only thing in sight we can do. But we can never hope to get back again to the old or der of things, where it was hard to find in the army the type of soldier who is too big for his boots, or whose head is too big for his hat

months ago attributed the trouble to iself-seeking-an ambition to get and
 to grab. There Is an ambition to ex-
 eel and win through merit, which is
 wholesome but not SD the ambition to
 get something by fair means or by
 foul. Old officers declare that in the
 past large proportion of the soldiers
 enlisted for a lifetlme-the re-enllst-
 ment was mere pro forma thing.
 It is too much the rule that the sol
 dier of the present enlists as does the
 volunteer soldier-to fight primarily ito see how soldier feels--to get out of doing things that become a soldier --and there you are, Army critics insist that the officer is beginning to be that way, too, and there is un- doubtedly too much talk among off, cers as to how to get brigadier gen eralshlp; next how to get a staff de- tail-how to get on the general staff how to get a special detail. Whats your pull? is the queRy--Who have you working for you? Merit--boshl The least efficient officers of regiments who are in fair way to be disciplin- ed and who feel the iron heel upon their necks are the first to use their influence to escape from the colonel, who has found them out and who is after them.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-08-22

This morning the advent of Judge
Beams return was observed at a cir
cult court session during which three
prisoners pleaded guilty to the
charges against them and were sem
fenced to terms in the, penitentiary.
c. b. Rogers was given IS months,
James Hyman, two years, and Wa
chi-no a similar term.
M. L. Taft, arrested charged with
adultery, and who, by the way bears
but little resemblance to the noted
war secretary, declared he was not
guilty of the charge against him. Con-
sequently he will be tried in Septem-
Der.
Rogers, given a year and a half,
met his downfall a couple of months
ago when he passed a bogus check
for $19 upon Jesse Shull of the Ex-
change saloon. This morning Rog-
ers admitted his guilt and made a
brief plea in which he asked for the
mercy of the court. He said he had
heen drunk on the night he cashesl
the fictitious check or he would not
have committed the crime. He de-
clared he fully meant to pay back the
amount he had gotten from Mr.. Shull.
On being questioned by Judge Bean
Rogers declared he had no home. as
both mother and father were dead.
Before passing the bogus check he
had worked as bartender at the Brew
cry saloon. While manifesting some
sympathy, Judge Bean nevertheless
assigned Rogers to an 1S-months'
stay at Salem.
James Hyman was arrested here
but a few days ago for having stolen
gun from the Goodman Hardware
company. He was arrested while in
the act of trying to perform another
shiplifting stunt. This morning he
admitted his guilt and received two
years.

who seemingly fail to perceive the

tanning to hours and wages will be
arbitrated by the United Railroads
and the platform men as agreed in a
submitted proposition. The declar-
ing off OF the car strike by the gener-
al strike board will give the $4,000
union men of the building trades
council, with their families, the right
to ride on the street cars despite any
action that the carmen's union may
take.
With the support of the building
trades council 1t is up to the hundred
off union men with the labor council
to decide for themselves whether or
not a boycott exists against the
United Railroads.
Secretary Trietnem Of the building
trades council and official press rep
resentative OF the general strike
board, stated today that the board
had the power to declare the car
strike off. and will do so on a sci
date.
President Richard Cornelius Of the
carmen's union. states that whatever
settlement may be arrived at will be
reached by the carmen's union. Thus
while the general strike board will
declare the strike off, the president
of the carmen's organization will
maintain that the strike is on. Con.
fusion will thus result. Unless the
carmen's union abides by the decision
of the general strike board.
