ing to Pagan Rite.

What is perhaps the most ghoul-
ish and semi-barbaric rite ever per-
formed in Umatilla county, has just
been carried out by gang of Greeks
employed on the o. II. &c N. grade
work near this city. About half of
the Greeks and Sicilians employed In
the United States are pagans and
practlce the old pagan rites which
have been in vogue in parts of south
ern Europe for many centuries. One
of these rites forblds the Greek to
eat flesh which was killed by per-
son not of their belief, and conse-
quently the meat purchased by this
peculiar cult Is all live meat and In
cludes sheep and fowlNprincipally.
A sheep was made the victim of
their pagan rites near this city re-
Gently and for ghoulish cruelty and
Ignorance its slaughter perhaps sur
passes anything which has ever come
to the notice of the general public.
A live sheep was purchased by the
Greeks and taken to their cook car,
where It was hog tied" that is, It's
four legs were tied together close
ly and the animal was hung up TO
the roof OF the car by stick thrust
under its tied legs.
There Il was allowed to hang,
head down, for three or four days
until II died from the ordeal. Each
day the Greek cook or leader of the
gang, woIld go through n perform
ance OF killing the suffering animal.
A long knife would be sharpened,
the cook would roll up his sleeves
and every detail of the slaughter
would be performed. excepting the
act of killing the sheep.
Finally when II was seen that the
animal was dying the gang assem-
bled around the sheep, once more
the knife was sharpened and with
flourish the throat OF the helpless
animal was cut as It's life was pass

through the throngs two prisoners, sus-

The men We're tied together and were
led by thong, but over the head of
each basket had been placed so that
neither could be recognized. Itswas ex-
planned to us that this was done for
fear of doing the men an injustice, as
neither had been proven guilty and
their identity would be kept a secret
until proof had been made. This meth
cd is in pleasing contrast to the ap-
proved methods of the police in large
American cities, where, when a crime
is committed, the police haul in a score
of innocent suspects and allow the
newspapers to take their pictures.
Education Compulsory
Returning to the school question, 81
per cent of the Japanese children of
school age are In school, Up to the age
of IA school attendance is compulsory,
although the compulsion seldom is felt
on account of the keen desire of the
average Japanese to have his children
get an education. Their love for their
schools is part Of their intense patri-
otism, which is, I think, more intense
than that shown by any other school
children in the world.
THE religion of the country is in a
transitional stage. While there are
100000 Christians in the empire, Bud
dhism and Confucianism have degene-
rated into more or less perfunctory OBJ
servances, and those who have not yet
entered Christianity are apt to be the
victims of dangerous pessimistic ma
terialism. For the past 300 years the
spirit of Bushido' has sufflced as their
only really important code of ethics.
the 'Bushido' is a collection of moral
precepts and teachings, culled from
Buddha and ConfuciuS, with a sprink-
ling of fifteenth century Christianity.
The utility of this rigid code of ethics
has decreased with the death of feudal-
ism.
IT believe that the reports of the
growing enmity to America in Japan
are exaggerated. l have received the
most cordial letters from students of
the University of Kyoto, and one espe-
cially cordial one from the governors
secretary of the province. see no
danger in the situation unless America
is altogether the aggressor. 1t is not
true that Japan has her eye on the
Philippine islands. AS a matter OF
| fact, | think II would be great thing
for America If Japan did have them.
My experience In the islands convinced
me that they can be no earthly good
to us, and If we can get rid of them
gracefully we ought to do so. The
people there don't like us and we can
never establish really cordial relations
with them. We made a great mistake
in trying to graft our highly developed
school system on them, and they are
suffering under 1t. If Japan could be
persuaded to buy the islands, and would
be willing to give us the 500, 900 they
cost / think they should be sold. Japan
knows those people better than we and
could take much better care OF them"

THE Orpheum program for the week
numbers at least one true artist.
There may be more than one, but
one at least there is. Little Hip" is
an artist and true artist if ever artist
merited the adjective.
A true artist is an artist who is an
artist for arts sake. He permits no
sordid thought of pecuniary or other
profit to enter into his calculations. In
fact, the true artist never calculates.
He employs a manager to calculate for
him. The manager is the artists cal
culator and the artist is the managers s

Little Hip" employs a manager.

but wholesome foods which his expert
ence proves are best suited to the ar
tistic temperament he also discussed
(through his manager) the weather, the
fight the anti-race bill, theatrical pro-

Roosevelt-SchmitZ treaty. The artist

PASTOR GETS AFTER NEW
TANGLED RELIGIOUS CULTS

PASADENA, Feb. 24.-"False Christs"
was the subject OF the sermon of the
Rev. ]. C. Elliott, pastor of the North
Side Methodist church today, and in
the course OF his remarks the preacher
took occasion to lambast some OF the
freak cults which are growing more
and more numerous. These cults, the
Rev. Mr. Elliott said, are IAN evil
wrought in the name of God" His ad-
dress dealt with the deceptions OF mod
ern "isms" and their effect on morality
and religion.
The Rev. Mr.. Elliott pointed out that
there is no surer proof OF the wonders
of Christ than the fact that after all
the centuries his teachings still prevail,
whereas the teachings OF the false
Christs are, one by one, relegated to
the oblivion where they so justly be-
long.

Oriain of MIR. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is
to say, he had only a Christian name
without any kind of handle" before
it or surname after it. Some means
of distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Nicknames derived from
a mans trade or his dwelling place OF
from some personal popularity were
tackled on To his Christian name, ano
plain John became John Smith. And
yet there were no "misters" in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fel
lows, became perhaps a landed pro.
prietor or an employer of hired labor
Then he began to be called in the
Norman-French of the day the 'mais
ire" of this place or that, of these
workmen or of those. In time the
'maistre" or master" as it soon
became. got tackled on before his
name, and he became Master Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense of possession was
lost sight of, and the title was con.
ferred upon any kindly mere pos.
