THE SINFUL ORIENT.

It has long been known that the
Philippines would be as a rock around
the neck of the United states in the
event Of a war with Japan. 1t was
the knowledge of this fact that caused
the increased activity in army and
navy circles within the past year or
two and to the same more than any
thing else can be attributed the long
cruise of the Atlantic fleet.
But recently attention has been call
ed to another bad feature In connec-
ton with Uncle Sans possessions in
the orient. It is the ill-effect which
the tropic sun Of Luzon has upon the
moral fibre of the fighting men and
citizens who are sent to the islands
upon various duties
ship me somewhere east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst,
Where three 'aint no Ten Command
ments,
And a man can raise a thirst"
These lines were written by Kipline
in reference to India. But they apply
as we'll to the Philippines, if the views
o. returning soldiers may be taken at
their full value.
More than one American home has
been rudely shattered because the
moral code in Manila is not equal to
that in the states. Within recent
years a number of army officers on
duty in the Philippines have lost their
because their conduct
was not up to the standard which the
United States wisely sets for those
who wear the insignia of rank. Then,
too, trouble has often arisen at home
because the marital ties did not hold
sufficiently strong when the husband
was across the world. An instance of
this kind was brought to light when
captain Hams, fresh from the islands,
shot c. H. Annis in New York and
disgraced the army and made
himself murderer.
So bad has been the moral effect
OF the Philippines upon those who go
'rorc that in the minds of some who
. 20 made the subject study the
'.n5s are a real menace to the
country in other than a military sense.

II there is a single reason under the
shining sun why the referendum
should be invoked for the interurban
franchise, it has not yet been brought
to light When people, wherever
they may be from, come to Pendleton
with a proposition that means the
doubling Of the citys population and
The cutting in half Of electricity
charges, they should be given a well
come hand and not kick. The East
Oregonlan does not believe that any
responsible people really favor invok-
ing the referendum But II they do
they should take a long, serious sec
ond thought before they do anything.

INSTANT RELIEF 0E
ITCHING HUMOR
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet Too Swollen to Get Shoes
On-Sleep Completely Broken
by Intense itching and Burning
Well in Two Days and Says That
CUTICURA Is AMONG
HIS HOUSEHOLD GODS

God bless the man who first CON-
pounded Cuticura. Some two months
ago l had humor break out on INV
limbs below my knees. They came to
look like raw beefsteak. all red, and no
one knows how they itched and burned.
They were so swollen that l had TO
split my drawers open to get them on
and could not get my shoes on for a
week or more. l used five or six Diff
ferent remedies and got no help, only
when applying them the burning was
worse and the itching less. One morning
/ remembered that had bit of Cuti-
cura and tried it. From the moment
it touched me the itching was gone and
l have not felt a bit of it since. The
swelling went down and in two days had
my shoes on and was about as usual.
l only wish | had used the Cuticura
Remedies in the first of my troubles.
They would have saved me two or
three weeks of intense suffering. Dur
ing that time | did not sleep an hour at
a time, but was up applying such
remedies as l had. Henceforth the
Cuticura Remedies will be among my
household gods, rest assured. George

SECOND INCIDENT OF KIND IN
FAMOUS CASE.
(From a Special Correspondent

FLINT, Mich, June 9.-The Stock
dale Will case. which attracted state
wide attention during the past winter,
is again brought into the lime light
this week. by the attorneys for the
heirs filing an objection in the probate
court. contesting Special Administrat-
or Chas. r. Bridgeman's tee for SER
vices which he claims amount To So

warrant the fee submitted
Some time ago. another special ad'
ministrator. Warren s. Rundeli, a
Flint lawyer, was allowed fee OF
81, 200 for an administrator fee dur
ing the same length Of time. AT the
solicitation of the heirs under the will,
Rundell later resigned his office and

appointed In his stead Back OF Run

than passing worth.
Mrs. Mary Stockdale. who died about
four years ago. was a woman most
peculiar in her ways and her life
story is comparable with those some
times portrayed in modern novels. AT
the time of her death she left an es-
tate valued at $500 and by her will
of 1883 provided that Harper hospital
and several other Detroit institutions,
together with the General hospital, or
Buffalo, n. Y, and several relatives.
should be beneficiaries. But the city
OF Flint, by several witnesses. at
tempted TO show that another Will had
been made just prior 10 her death.
wherein the city OF Flint was left a
large portion OF the estate for city
hospital to be named in honor OF her
deceased son, Willie Hartshorn. This
contest lasted over three weeks in the
circuit court and the jury finally found
that the will OF 1883 was the only one
ever made and the estate should be
distributed according to the terms and
provisions of that will.

NEGRO THIEF
SENT TO PRISON
JOHN TiLLiS GETS 2N2 TO
YEARS IN HOUSE OF
CORRECTION

John Tillis, the Negro convicted a
few days ago OF entering a residence
on Watson-st and stealing two dia-
mond studded purses valued at 5000,
belonging to Mrs J. E. Goldberg, to-
gether with other property worth sew
eral hundred dollars, was sentenced
to the house of correction by Judge
Phelan, Tuesday morning, for not less
than two and one-half years, and the
court recommended that he be kept
the maximum period Of five years.
When Tillis was brought over for
sentence last week he asked for more
time In which to locate the stolen
purses and q jewel box that was
stolen at the same time and given an
opportunity. But his search, IL he
really made any. was without result.
He told the court that another colored
man named John Nichols now has
the purses, and declared that Nichols
was responsible for the whole job He
had sent his wife to see Nichols to
try to induce him to give up the
purses, he said, but the man had given
her no satisfaction.
Judge Phelan took no stock in his
story. AT the judges request. Capt.
Mcdonnell sent two sleuths In
search of Nichols a few day. ago, and
after securing the city for him II was
found that he had gone to Chicago
some time ago. and Is still there, 1t
Is believed On his trial Tillis said
nothing about anyone else being impli'
Gated In the job and did not even men
ton Nichols name.
Tillis is % years old and mas a bad
police record. He has wife and
three children.
