CURED FRENCH WASHERS.

American girls, whose ideas of lnde-
pendence do not agree with those Of
the French people, are not bothered
by mashers whenever they attempt to
go about unescorted in Paris.
No French girl whose parents have
a proper regard for her, is ever allow
ed to do such a thing and the idea
has become implanted in the native
mind that any young woman who ap.
pears alone is at least unconventional.
1t did not take a young and attrac-
tive American girl long to learn this
fact this summer when she Travelled
around Paris as she was accustomed
to in New York. All manner of men
smirked at her, lifted their hats tried
to act as her escort and endeavored
TO begin conversations.
But every one faded suddenly when
she gave him her anti-masher treat
ment. which worked better than a
strong right arm. To each she eX-
tended her hand, palm up, with one
of those minute bits of fractional cur.
rency that they have over there bal
anced on her palm.
Poor man." she remarked in hesl-
tating French, I'm so sorry you're so
poor you have to beg. Here all the
money l have"

ROYCROFT LOYALTY.

Loyalty. If you work for a man,
in heavens name work for him. II
he pays you wages that supply your
bread and butter, work for him;
speak we'll of him; stand by him and
stand by the institution he represents.
If put to a pinch an ounce of loyalty
is worth a pound of cleverness.
If you must villify, condemn ana
eternally disparage, why, resign your
position. and when you are outside,
damn to your hearts content But
as long as you are a part Of the in
stitution do not condemn it. If you
do, you are loosening the tendrils that
hold you to the institution, and the
first high wind that comes along you
will be uprooted and blown away,
and probably you will never know
why.-Elbert Hubbard.

MOTORING.

When Bagley motors here in town,
Observed by the cop,
You'd think his car were broken dowr
And limping to the shop.
He has been fined a time or two
When he has been remiss,
And always thinks to be discreet
And makes the trees along the stree
Appear to him like this
But when he gets into the park,
Where seldom is a cop,
His sparkling plug begins to spark,
And his pepper begins to pop.
He crouches lower on his wheel.
The motor starts to hiss,
The gasoline begins to spray.
And all the trees along the way
Appear to him like this.

REPUBLICAN REFORM.

The san Francisco Star, one of the
leading reform papers of the west,
after complimenting the East Orego-
nlan on a recent editorial on the reg
ulation Of railroads, says: 1--WE
would like to know, then, why a pa
per like the Pendleton East Orego-
nlan, having such advanced views,
should think of supporting Taft as a
presidential candidate"
The East Oregonian finds con-
genial company with its advanced
views among republicans Of Oregon,
all Of whom are supporting Taft and
who during the past few years have
enacted in oregon all Of the ad-
vanced laws Of which the Star boasts
from week to week.
Republican Oregon has adopted the
initiative and referendum, the direct
election Of United States senators, the
recall, the local option law, the direct
primary law, the anti-corruption act,
the proportional representation law
and other advanced laws for the pro-
lection and enlightenment Of the peo-
pie.
And there are thousands Of repub-
licans in Oregon who believe in the
government ownership Of railroads.
Because they are republicans is no
reason why they cannot be reform
ers. Because they support party
nominees and party platforms is no
sign that they are not making indi-
vidual and collective progress.
The way to get reform is to work
for it through the dominant party
Populistic Kansas never secured one
tenth Of the really progressive laws
which republican oregon has willing
ly enacted. II the Star would work
with the republican party for the re-
forms II seeks, 1t would have the
pleasure OF seeing. those reforms en-
acted into law in a short time.

simply leavened the whole republi-

WHO WAS THE BRUTE?

While all the forces of this great
nation are working toward a higher
civilization, reformers map out their
campaigns for the betterment of
mankind. and the doctrine of the
equality of man is preached from
pulpit and rostrum. now and again
comes a shock which paralyzes the
nation, says the Spokane Chronicle.
For the crime of one negro, later
arrested and certain to receive his
inst deserts. mob violence caused the
death of probably half dozen whites
and negroes in Springfield.
No long and bitter fight against the
negro had been waged in Illinois,
and there was no reason to believe
Justice would not be meted out, but
the brute in mankind took possession
and even the rain of lead from the
militia failed in part to bring the
senseless mob to time.
The outbreak is only another re-
minter that the negro question is
paramount one in this country. The
crime of one turns an entire commu-
nifty against the race.
Had the outbreak occurred in the
south the northerners would nave
turned the finger of scorn on the
brutes of the south, but in a north
ern state, where condemnation OF
the southern hatred for the negro Is
strong, the northerners are forced to
face the question frankly.
It was the same mob. The mob
law Of the south and the mob law OF
the north are identical. Frenzied
murderers, bent on wholesale destruc-
ton. kill and burn just as a mob
might do in Georgia or Louisiana,
where the negro Is a much more Sc
rious question. There he dominates
in numbers, and only the constant
struggle holds him down, else he DOM
mate in fact as we'll.
The negro problem is question
which has been lodged ever since the
civil war. Such actions as those at
Springfield will not settle the matter.
When white men become brutes what
can be expected OF the colored men
who have never had a chance?

KING EDWARD IN RUSSIA.
Greeted in Bay of Reval by Emperor
Nicholas,

Reval, June 10.--The meeting be-
tween King Edward and Emperor
Nicholas occurred with due formality.
1t was the first time that an English
monarch had ever made an official
visit in Russian waters.
When the British squadron escort
ing the royal yacht Victoria and AL
bert, with King Edward on board, en-
tered the bay of Reval the customary
salutes We're fired and after an ex-
change of formal visits the king and
emperor lunched on board the Russian
yacht Polar Star as the guests of the
dowager empress.
The day was favored by brilliant
and beautiful summer weather. The
arrival of the British royal yacht, es-
corted by a division of British cruis-
ers painted leaden gray and escorted
into port by detachment of Russian
torpedo boat destroyers, presented a
magnificent naval pageant Thousands
of spectators had gathered on the
battlemented summit of the Mont de
la Cathedral, along the wooded shores
of the bay and at other points of van
tage on the seawall to witness the in
coming of the ships of war.

DECREASE IN IDLE CARS.
Slight Improvement In Business Con-
ditlons Shown.

Chicago. June 10.-A slight improve
ment in business conditions is indicat-
ed by the fortnightly report of the
committee on car efficiency of the
American Railway association. The
number of surplus cars on the rail-
roads in the United States and Can
ada is given at 81,904, a decrease of
22,630 in comparison with the num-
ber on May 13.
The bulletin says that the improve
ment, as reflected in the smaller mum
ber of idle cars, seems quite general
throughout the Eastern. Central and
Southern sections of the country, but
there is practically no change in the
Southwes tern and Pacific states.
The demand for box cars has appar-
emily increased In Iowa, Illionis and
Kansas, northward to Wisconsin and
the Dakotas, and Westward to Mon
tana and Colorado.

Once, Led by Assistant Secretary
COOLIDGE of Boston.

Washington, June 10.-Tndications
are multiplying that Secretary Cor
telyou will be advanced by the Roose-
welt and Taft forces at Chicago as
their candidate for vice president.
Secretary Cort5lyou himself naturally
declined to discuss the matter of his
candidacy because his native state al
ready has in the field possible candi-
date for the presidency in the person
of Governor Hughes.
That fact has SO far operated to
prevent any open exchanges between
the friends OF Secretary Cortelyou
and Secretary Taft's managers. But
it can now be stated as fact that in
the opinion of his friends the time has
come when Secretary Cortelyou should
be placed in position to be recog-
nized as New York's candidate for the
vice presidency in The event of the
elimination of Hughes from the presi
Dental race.
AS a necessary step to a successful
campaign in that direction there had
first to be ascertained the attitude
that President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Taft would assume towards Sec
retary Cortelyou's candidacy. The

In various sections of the county huge
