An effort is being made to have the Arkansas Legislature amend the Anti Trust laws. so as to permit Old Line Fire Insurance Companies to transact business in this state, which have not entered into q pool or trust to control rates in Arkansas. Whether the Legis- lature will give this releif remains to be seen. It certainly seems to Us that men who desire to carry insurance should be permitted to select their own companies to in- sure in, and if the prices of Old Line Companies suit the insurer 1t ought to be no ones business but his own. The question of good insurance is most important one to the business interests of any country, and when man pays out money for insurance he wants to know that he will receive his insurance in case of loss of his property by fire. Let the Legisla- tuse adopt liberal policy toward tie Insurance Companies, and thus enable the people on a larger field in which to secure protection from loss by fire.

COST OF USELESS WORDS.

Henry Holt, publisher and author,
finds by actual court that per cent
of the letters used in English compo-
sition are superfluous, says the Lin
coin Journal. The value of the
printer products of the United States,
according to census reports, is about
1858, 100000 a year. The per cent
waste from superfluous letters would
be approximately $17,000,000 a year.
Before this matter was printed 1t
had to be written, and basing his es-
innate on statistics, the per cent
waste in writing superfluous letters
costs annually enough to raise the to-
tai waste to s26,O00,000. Taking into
account the waste in wear and tear
and manufacture of typewriters, writ
ing ink, the extra cost of signs, labels
and so forth, Mr.. Holt raises the an
nual waste to s32,000,00O.
Figuring in the writing of letters,
with its 8 per cent waste of paper,
ink and stenographer's time, likewise
the waste of time in handwriting let
ters, he increases the waste to $780,
100000. Adding the loss of a year
and a half in the life of each child
required in mastering a system of
lawless spelling, adding the extra
cost of teaching, books and school
houses, omitting waste of eyesight
and brains, he brings the loss to $780,
100000

THE LANDS OF EVENING.

Down to the lands of evening, where
the little shadows fall.
Down tothe lands of evening where
the bells of sunset call.
Down to the lands of evening from
the workhouse of the day,
oh. Lovely are the roses scattered
along the way!
Down to the lands of evening, all so
sweet, so still.
The dew upon the meadows and the
blue upon the HILL.
Down to lands of evening with love
song in the breast,
And little rosy songsters waiting in
the sweet home nest!
Down to the lands of evening from
the roaring traffic loom.
Dreaming through the buttercups and
dancing through the gloom.
Down to lands of evening from the
half forgotten strife,
To the little sweetheart-m and
the bloom of baby life!

1t is one of the bitter rewards of
the newspaper business, to have peo-
pie complain when anything is pub
lished which reflects upon them or
their business, although it may not
refer to them, while the same people
will go on reading complimentary
and helpful things about themselves
or their business for months and years
without giving any sign of their ap-
probation. They are able to dis
cover two lines If it is harmful, but
they never see a column If 1t helps
them. About the only way in which
newspaper can learn If its columns
are read, at times, so ungrateful is
the public, is by firing a broadside
shot to see who will make the first
objection. If It strikes somebody's
schemes or plans, you will always
hear from it, while the same people
may have been reading compliment
tary things for a year without giving
any sign Of their appreciation.

reach and punish severely every or
ganization, whether among butchers,
hardware men, grocers, furniture
dealers, undertakers. fuel dealers,
newspapers, draymen or other COM
mon line of industry, where that or
ganization is maintained to restrict
trade, raise prices, stifle opposition
or unhwfully oppress patrons.
The cost of living is high enough at
best, without unlawful combinations
among business men to advance
prices without just and sufficient
cause, as has been done by the saw
mill firms of the northwest and other
trusts which deserve a taste of the
federal courts.
The people of Oregon should initi-
ate a strong, practical, rigid anti
trust law, with teeth in it and claws
long enough to be felt by guilty
parties. And 1t should not be so full
of technicalities and loopholes as to
give every member of criminal COM
bination an opportunity to escape, se-
cure immunity or otherwise shirk
his responsibility.
People in the country districts of
oregon are oppressed beyond endur-
ance by the illegal combinations
which graft them unjustly. Nothing
goes into their homes that has not
paid tribute to a criminal trust and
the time has come when forbearance
cannot be worn as a shining virtue.
When the antitrust law petition is
circulated, sign 1t and make your
candidate for the legislature promise
to keep the law inviolate.

REPORTERS "HAvE A CHANCE

General Booth, the venerable head
of the Salvation Army. was talking to
New York reporter.
"Are you saved?" he asked sudden
ly.
The young man flushed, stammer-
ed and hesitated.
Well" said the general, do not
despair. There is a chance even for
New York reporters"
Then. discussing prayer, General
Booth told a story, a story with a
moral.
There was a young clergyman, ap-
pointed to a small country town." he
began, "and a short time after his ar
rival a horsey- looking man in leggings
stopped him on the street one day,
bowed respectfully, and said in a
tremulous voice:
"'If you please, sir. would you
mind, next Sabbath, offering up a bit
of a prayer for Milly Dean?'
1.-The minister, of course, assented.
The man, whose look was worried and
haggard, took leave gratefully. And
on the next and two following Sun
days Milly Dean was prayed for from
the pulpit.
"Then, one afternoon, the man in
leggings met the minister again.
THANK you for them prayers, sir,
he said but you needn't pray no more
for Milly Dean
why said the other, shocked, is
she dead?'
Dead said the man in leggings.
No. She's just won the Blue Ribbon
handicap by a length and a half"

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They are neither white nor small,
And you, know, would scarcely
think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and
hue
y sculptor's dream might be;
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands
More beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Though heart were weary and sad
Those patient hands kept toiling on,
That children might be glad.
/ almost weep, as looking back
To childhcod's distant day,
1 think how those hands rested not
While mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They're growing feeble now,
For time and pain have left their
work
On hand and heart and brow.
Alas! alas! the wearing time,
And the sad, sad day to me
When meath the daisies. out of sight,
Those folded hands will be.
But oh, beyond this shadowy damp,
Where all is bright and fair,
1 know full well these dear old hands
VIII palms of victory bear.
Where crystal stretms thro' endless
years
Flow over golden sands,
And when the old grow young again
I'll clasp my mothers hands.

A GENTLE CORRECTION.

The East lOregonian is not concern
ed in the self-praise of other papers,
If no misstatements are made, but
the Tribune of this city makes such
bold and extravagant statement
about itself that it cannot go uncor-
rected.
The Sunday Morning Tribune said
that it presented its thousands" of
readers with the first two-color pa
per ever printed in oregon, outside
of Portland"
Why, dear fellow, the North Pow
der News, the Haines Record, the
Union Scout, the Joseph Herald, and
every country paper in eastern Ore
gon has been using the same colored
supplement for years, that the Tri-
bune used Sunday morning. The same
old eagle, same old arrows, same old
sunrise, same old flag, same old
Uncle Sam" Any paper can buy
these Fourth of July pages. They are
printed in st. Louis, for the trade,
just as rag dolls are made for Christ
mas. 1t is st. Louis product The
people should not be so wickedly de-
ceived.
And as to local ads printed in two
colors, why, the Baker City Democrat,
the La Grande Observer, the Salem
Statesman and Journal and the East
Oregonian have printed these Fourth
of July two-color pages for years,
some of us before the Tribune started
its daily.
The Tribune makes a misstatement
when it says "the first in Oregon out
side of Portland" 1t may be the
first for the Tribune, but it should
have said so
This is an old. old field being work.
ed over by new man on the Tribune.
He perhaps thinks that something
new happened when he came to PEN
dleton, but Pendleton readers have
been accustomed to metropolitan ways
for many many years.
Editor Geer is not responsible for
the statement made. He has lived in
Oregon all his life and knows better.
The Tribune is moving along, but
1t must play fair or be called down
when it is necessary.

out his kit" which contains all
necessary toilet articles and medl-
cines and mending necessities. Most
interesting of all is n tiny box OF
poison with which to kill himself II
fatally injured in a wreck.
He has been to Europe seven times,
once to Alaska and has made numer-
Gus journeys to Mexico and South
America, and long transcontinental
tours, always beating his way. He
demands larger and softer rods under
the cars and cleaner cups at the
drinking fountains.
He has been tramping since 1888,
and in that time has covered by actu-
al compilation OF records, which he
has kept, nearly 100000 miles. OF
that number all but about 500 have
been travelled on the trucks of the
railroad trains. He Is known by
many high railroad officials and cash
which they have given him helps to
keep him out of the lockups when
the detectives get hold of him.
He has spent for travelling expenses
in the last 26 years just 1856. He
makes a little money on the side by
carving images out of potatoes, which
he gives to persons he entertains, ex-
pecting n handout in return.
At Cambridge Springs Pa. he has
lot in the cemetery all paid for and
a tombstone waiting. Should he ever
be killed, which he expects some day,
the papers on his body will instruct
that his remains be sent to Cam
bridge.

YOUNG MEN AND PARTIES.

The Portland Oregonian, desperate
at the growth of the independent po-
litical spirit in Oregon, makes a pas
sionate plea to young voters to stand
pat for party, to be a slayer, no
matter what program is put up for
your Endorsement.
In other words, the Oregonian COM
mands young Americans to stand up
and be counted by the bosses; it wants
TO. know that you can be relied upon
for whatever program .re posses fix;
you are so many sheep in a pasture,
counted, tagged and branded and can
be counted out to this or that candi-
date with a fixed certainty, If you
are needed"
That is what partisan enthusiasm
leads to. That is why ward heelers
They count you as though you were
cattle; they send in your names to
headquarters" marked as so many
purchased animals, ready for any
service.
Every ward and precinct is polled
and the young republicans and DEM
ocrats are tagged with the partisan
tag; you are registered according to
your enthusiasm, not according to
your intelligence. You are simply a
part OF somebody's machine. Any
independence on your part is treach-
cry.
Young men of oregon are urged
to break away from these partisan
bonds, to be American citizens, think
for yourselves, be men and not count
ed cattle wearing an owners brand.
Independence is your choicest bless
ing, your richest heritage in free
government, and all the "undesira-
BILE citizens'' which the Oregonian
cries out against in high and low life,
in American politics, have been Great
ed, fattened, glutted and made GRIM
inals by the unquestioned support of
young men who wore the party tag,
who swallowed any program with
out a thought as to their own intel
ligence or rights.
Undesirable citizens" in politics
have been made such by the fact that
they could, and did, count out voters
like cattle, in precincts, counties, state
and nation. ~
Get away from the party corral.
Refuse to wear the party tag. Be
member Of a party as long as the
party recognizes your individual
worth and intelligence. When the
party questions your liberty and in
telligence, 1t wants to use you for
some selfish am. Don't wear the tag,
unless you can throw 1t off at will.

THE OPENING OF THIBET.

Now that trade, although on a
small scale, is passing freely between
Calcutta and Lhasa, the but recently
mysterious city of Thibet, it is re-
ported that the people Of Thibet ex-
hibit eagerness to know more of the

was long curious about them, and
now tho reverse occurs. But the
Thibetans will not encounter the OBJ
stacles that we did to the gratiflca-
ton of their curiosity. A pass A.
500 feet high must be traversed in
reaching Thibet from India, but the
route is open all the year around,
and the trip can be made without

ANTITRUST LAW IN OREGON.

The proposition of the Oregon Fed
Grafton of Labor to enact an anti
trust law through the initiative, will
meet with the most hearty approval
of the masses of the people Of the
state.
It is too slow and unsatisfactory to
prosecute local trusts through the
federal courts. There should be a
state law by which every unlawful
organization could be hustled into the
nearest circuit court and tried out be-
fore a jury of people familiar with its
actions.
There are unlawful organizations In
the state, and their members are
found operating in every community
in the state. 1t is just as unlawful
and wrong to organize and operate a
little neighborhood trust as 1t is to
conduct a criminal national organiza-
ton.
There should be a law which will
