WASHINGTON LETTER.

; the present outbreak in China is
one of the most serious that the
government there has ever had
to deal with, and the American
warships on the China station are
being held in readiness to pro-
tect not only American but all
foreign interests if they are SER
iously threatened. Consul Pad
dock at Annoy reports that the
outbreak is not anti-foreign, as
was the Boxer uprising in 1900,
but that it is anti-dynastic. The
prize in question is the control of
the boy emperor, who has been
a boy emperor for so long that
he ought to be pretty well grown
by this time. Foreigners know
little or nothing of this puppet
ruler. They do not know for a
certainty whether he is alive or
dead. They do know that the
real power in Chinese affairs is
Tsi-An, the Dowager Empress,
who, like the Dowager Empress
of Russia, takes the responsible
ty of running things, only Tsi-An
is a good deal more openly pow
erful than Marie Fedora. When
the ladies of the diplomatic corps
were entertained by the Dowa-
ger Empress of China after the
return of the imperial family to
the summer palace in Pekin, the
boy emperor was present at the
audience, but he did not speak,
and there was no telling whether
it were really the Emperor or
some one else. There have been
a number of reports in past years
that the young emperor had been
poisoned or otherwise done away
with, and that the crafty old
dowager was keeping a dummy
in his place. Of course, no one
outside the innermost court cir
Gle can tell whether this is true
or not.
But the report is gaining ground
among the Chinese that Tsi-An
is in her last illness, and the So
called reform party, which stands
for a Chinese constitution and
other more liberal measures, has
organized to capture the Emper-
or, knowing that with him in
their possession it will be posi-
BILE to run the Empire pretty
much as they see fit. The reb-
els, known as the Triads, have
captured a number of the minor
towns, and are marching on Annoy
one of the most important of the
Chinese seaports. The advices
from Consul Paddock were that
the rebels were just outside of
Swatow, city just across the
bay from Annoy. The Helena,
one of the gunboats that was
built especially for service on the
Chinese rivers, was sent from
Annoy to the scene of the trouble,
and sNe whole American squad
ron now in Chinese waters is be-
ling concentrated near Annoy. So
long as the rebels confne them
selves to killing Chinese, this
government can enter no reason
able objection. But if any for
eign property, either American
or other, is touched, blue jackets
will be landed and we will have
to cooperate with the other for
eign powers in saving China from
herself, as was done in the mem
orable march of the allies on Pc.
kin in 1900.
A small but most exacting mo-
nopoly has been broken up in the
Department Of Agriculture. Al
least the government thinks i
lhas been broken up and that a

The Third Term BOgy.
BY LEO.

Roosevelt Tor anOCner CeFHl III Cl'
presidency from 1908 on. 1t il
true, the chief magistrate has
solemnly said that under no cir
cumstance will he be a candidate
for the great Office next year
but, as many seem to think, the
country will force him to accept,
no matter what he may have said.
Senator Foraker, in his recent
speech at Steubenville, seemed
to labor under the impression that
the people will force the presi-
dent to continue in Office for an
other term, and possibly for 9TH
er terms. He alluded to the Mex
ican president, a most excellent
chief magistrate, who. has been
in office for many terms consec-
utively. Will not the American
people insist on continuing in Of
flee indefinitely the present Oc-
cupant of the White House?
Ex-senator Foraker really fright
ened by the third term bogy?
We think not. What he breads
is the continuation of the policies
of the Roosevelt administration
under the administration of VIM.
Howard Taft. Unlike Mexico,
the American people could furn-
ish hundreds of men well equip
ped to discharge the duties of
chief magistrate. We are in no
way dependent on the excellent
and energetic man now in office.
Perhaps another Roosevelt might
be hard to find, but other men
are on hand ready to take charge,
who would do fully as well, if
not a little better, than Roose-.
welt. Is not Secretary Taft a man
of that sort? Has he not shown
himself we'll qualified for a chief
ruler? Does not the whole coun-
try look to him for a successor to
Roosevelt in 1908?
Senator Foraker need not lose
sleep over the situation. Roose-
welt will not be forced to serve
another term just now. Judge
Taft is the nations choice, or
will be soon, and under his ad-
ministration things will go on as
now and probably with less frlc-
ton.
The war secretary is no abler
man than the president, but is
fully as great, and surely, far
more diplomatic in his treatment
of men. Roosevelt is somewhat
too direct and energetic; Taft is
Just as bent on carrying his point,
but uses more sweet reasona-
bleness" in his persuasion OF
men to adopt his views.
Secretary Taft has been in this
Administration as it's chief sup
port. He and Roosevelt are in
unison as to policies, and there
fore, when the war secretary is
elevated to the chief place there
will be no change of policies.
Roosevelt said last week in his
Indianapolis speech : a speech
fully becoming the chief magis-
trate of a great nation that GER
tain policies of the present Ad-
ministration will be and must be
maintained. And this he said in
the full confidence that the able
war secretary will be president
in 1908.
This country is not dependent
on any one man, no matter how
great he may be. It can and will
live and prosper when Theodore
Roosevelt and J. B. Foraker are
private citizens. We have, nc
sympathy with the crowd Of Of
fice-holders and their friends who
are trying to force Roosevelt tc
serve another term. There is nc

PROPERTY is SUPREME.

The East Oregonian is in receipt of
an earnest and well written letter from
an estimable woman of Pendleton,
complaining of the large number of
saloons and the congestion of intoxi-
Gated men on Main street.
From the humanitarian and strictly
moral point of view, the impassioned
appeal of this sincere woman is right
and true and just and should be
needed, but
PROPERTY Is SUPREME IN THIS
COMMERCIAL AGE.
Talk about reducing the number OF
saloons and you run directly against
the citizens who own the buildings,
pa, the taxes and receive the rents.
AS long as the government is in
partnership with the manufacturer of
liquor, by placing his product in bond
and giving him money upon it, the
question will be difficult to meet.
Place the manufacturer of liquor
on its own merit, as the production
of wheat and lumber and boots and
shoes, is forced to stand, and its ten
ure in society would be uncertain, in
deed.
This is an economic question, as well
as a moral question and as long as the
government is in "cahoots'' with the
liquor manufacturer, and as long as
cities, counties and states accept a
license from the business, it must be
respected and indulged.
The saloon man is not so much to
blame for conditions complained OF
as the form of government which Of
ficially recognizes the liquor business
and gives aid, in preference to the pro-
duction of wheat, corn, flour, lumber
steel or other commercifl commodity
There must be change in the form
of government and in that change
morals must be placed above proper
ty. Then these Objectionable indus
tries will find no standing room or
the foundation stones of the govern
ment.

INDEPENDENT THINKING.

Because so many former devout
church people of the United States are
silently drifting into the rising tide of
new thought doctrine, Christian sci
ence, independent thinking-a well
known pastor of Denver says the
country is enjoying IAN intellectual
Spree" and that he longs for the day
of returning soberness.
That which offers the human mind
its most satisfying food will bind and
hold the thinking element in every
community. Whether it is an intel
lectual spree or whether it is the in
nate independence and power of the
mind asserting itself, it may be said
that there never was such a breaking
loose from old moorings as is witness
ed at present.
Independent thinking is penetrat-
ing society as a chinook wind melts
away the make-believe admantine
wall of the snowbank.
And yet people are not deserting
the essential elements of the religion
Of the Nazarene in their adoption of
the new doctrines of today. Rather
they are giving more perfect expires.
sion to that religion.

BRYAN Al YEARS OLD.

William ]. Bryan twice democratic
candidate for president of the United
States, was born in Salem, ILL.,, March
10, 1860. He was taught at home by
his mother until he was 10 years old,
and then attended the public schools
until he was is. He studied for two
years at Whipple Academy, Jackson
vile, and then entered Illionis col
lege, from which he was graduated
in 1881. He studied law for two
years more and upon admission to
the bar began the practice in jack
sonville.
In 1887 Mr.. Bryan removed to Ne
braska, and soon afterward his po-
litical activities were begun. In 1890
he was nominated for congress on a
platform written by himself. In the
house of representatives he attained
his first general distinction by a
speech in the course of the debate on
the Wilson bill.
He was returned to congress in
1892, and declined a third nomination
two years later. In 1895 and again
in 1900, Mr.. Bryan, heading the dem
ocratic ticket, failed of election as
president.
When not engaged in active politics
he has devoted most Of his time to
lecturing and to his editorial duties

GALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR

In the Spokane freight rate hearing
against the Northern Pacific railroad
in Chicago yesterday, Thomas Cooper,
mining commissioner of that system
was forced to admit that the company
believes in advancing freight rates as
the country settles up and property
values increase.
In other WORDS. that his company
does not charge a freight rate which
is based upon an equitable return on
its investment, but that It forces Its
patrons to give up "all the traffic
will bear" as a well known railroad
man has said.
Freight rates, then, on the Northern
Pacific are not based pom good bus
iness principles, but upon the idea OF
graft II the sworn testimony Of its
mining commissioner is to be believ-
ed.
Instead of charging a rate based
upon a good, healthful interest on
their money, they make the people
pay tribute for increasing property
values and increasing prosperity.
The people gave the Northern Paci-
fIc half the property 1t Owls today
and instead of exhibiting an appreci-
ative spirit in giving fair and equi-
table freight rates to the northwest
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-03-19

this company, and others as well, are
eXtorting every cent in freight rates
which the people pay without openly
revolving.
For 20 years the people in the ter
ritory tributary to Spokane have been
paying the through rate from the
east and then in addition, the local
rate from Spokane to Seattle and Ia
coma and return, on all their freight
shipments. They have paid for 400
miles where no service was rendered
Take all the traffic will bear" has
been the secret rule for making rail-
road freight tariffs in the west.
The admission of Mr.. Cooper verl-
fies this assertion, harsh as it may
seem.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-03-19

The railroad companies say that the
agitation for reduced freight rates
will destroy the railroad business and
cause railroad extension to stop. Must
railroads have license to levy trib-
ute upon communities before they are
willing to do business? Cannot rail-
road be operated upon fair and equit
table business principles. such as flour
mills, wooden mills, sawmills, foun-
dries, brick yards and other industries
are founded? II there is to be a IA
vored business let the government
conduct 1t in the interest of all the
people.

THE AGE OE MENTALITY.

Mind and soul combine to make
the unseen part of man. Together
they constitute the dynanics of this
human engine and together they con-
slitute the greatest force in the uni
verse.
Electricity is a very great force,
but as great as it is, 1t is a servant of
the force represented by the unseen
part of man.
The nineteenth century was an
age of electricity. The twentieth
century will be an age of mentality
wherein mental forces will come un-
der the conscious control of the Ego
of man.
Keep your ear to the ground,
brother, keep your ear to the ground.
The psychological laboratory of the
twentieth century is going to do
more for the enlightenment of the
race than all the chemical labora-
tories of the past have done and that
is very great deal.-Business PHI

COST OF THE LAND FRAUDS.

1t is estimated that the prosecution
of the land frauds of the Pacific coast
states will cost the United States gov-
ernment 100000 in money, beside the
disgrace which is beng brought upon
the nation by reason of the frauds.
The money cost is the least item in
the expense bill. The government, or
even the western states, could afford
to pay that sum, if It would restore
the ruined regulations, wipe out the
memory of the unfortunate proceed
ings and reinstate the disgraced pub
lie officials and private citizens who
sacrificed their honor to their con-
suming greed for gold.
The lesson IS one which will remain
forever fresh in the minds of the
rising citizenship of the Pacific coast,
and great as the cost may be, it is not
in vain that the west has paid it.

The school year just drawing to a
close has been the most successful
and prosperous for both st. Joseph's
academy and Pendleton academy, two
of the excellent private schools of
Pendleton. Both of these schools
have enjoyed a large attendance,
have added new features and have
extended their scope and influence
into the new fields. Next year will
be even better for both of them, be-
cause of the widening influences add
ed this year. over 900 students have
found a place in these schools during
the past school year and the East Or
egonian takes a delight in calling the
attention of the surrounding country
to the advantages offered by them.

EVOLUTION.

The thing We long for, that we are,
For one transcendent moment,
Ere the presant, poor and bare,
Can make its sneering comment;
Still through our paltry stir and
strife
CLOVIS down the wished ideal.
And longing molds in clay what Life
Carvos in the marble real.

PURPOSE.

Live for something, have a pur-

And that purpose keep in view;
Drifting like helpless vessel,
Thou canst ne'er to life be true
Half the wrecks that strew life's

If some star had been their guide,
Might have long been riding safely
But they drifted with the tide.
