THE SALARY MINUS THE HONOR.

According to the reports of his
agents, William Bryan is making
about $4,000 year from his lec,-
lures, says the Kansas City Star.
Charles L. Wagner. secretary of the
Slayton Lyceum bureau, which man
ages his lecture tours, asserts that
he has filled 175 dates in 1907 and
that he his receipts for the season
have averaged more than $500 for
each appearance. Mr.. Bryan stands
at the head of the list of platform
speakers today for the size of his au-
diences, for the receipts at the 'box
office and for the demands for his
appearance.
"Mr. Bryan's regular charge at
Chautauquas," said Mr.. Wagner. "is
the first $3.50 taken at the gate and
half of all the receipts above $500,
not including season tickets. He is
the only man who can make such a
liberal contract. For evening lectures
in a course his charge is 5000 cash as
guarantee and half of all the re-
ceipts at the door. For single eve
ming lectures not in a regular course.
he asks half of the gross receipts. He
started out on January 6 last and
spoke almost every day until Septem-
Der 10, frequently twice a day. In
addition to these, he has made large
number of political speeches"

TIRED OF THE JAPS.

Sentiment against the Japanese in
the United States is rapidly crystaliz-
ing and it is evident that both DEM
ocratic and republican national plat
forms of 1905 will deal with this sub
ject with bare hands.
Roosevelt, while defending wrong
ed japanese in this country, is yet
known to be opposed to the whole
sale introduction of this nationality
into the United States and will un-
doubtedly urge some form of exclu-
sion, while Bryan is unalterably op-
posed to the further Introduction Of
Japanese into this country.
The time is coming when the ma
tional slogan of the United States
must be America for Americans"
The available public domain is now
exhausted, the cities are crowded to
overflowing. the eastern and south
, ern states are densely populated and
poverty is weighing down with
heavier hand year by year
All classes of foreigners must soon
be excluded and especially those who
will glut the labor market as the
problem of the unemployed is be-
coming serious.
The negro in the south has given
the people a taste of the race prob
lem, but the negro will accept civili-
zation and with education will in time
become a fairly good citizen, while
the Chinaman, the Jap and the Hindu
retain their national characteristics
and customs through long ages of
association with other races and can
never become desirable citizens.
With both Of the great political
parties aligned against the Jap and
other oriental races, the promise of
exclusion is exceedingly bright,

MARION COUNTY MAY BE DRY.

The Marion county anti-saloon con-

gates in attendance from all parts
Of the county, says Salem item. The
convention decided to unite all the
temperance forces, including the Good
Templars, the W. c. T. u, the prohi-
bitionists, and the Anti-Saloon leag-

to carry Marion county dry. The con-

Resolutions were adopted to COM

for carrying Marion county dry as
whole at the coming June election,
also to carry 1t by grouped subdivi-
slons, and by precincts, the plan being
to hold all dry precincts and get as

vent the advertising of any stock
gambling in newspapers, magazines
and periodicals.
The bill strikes at the root of the
evil by denying publications contain
ing references of stock gambling,
passage through the United States
mails.
From the insignificant bucket
shops" of the cross roads towns to
the gilded parlors of the metropoll-
tan boards of trade, stock gambling
is one Of the most vicious evils of the
country 1t has caused more panics,
more suicides, more business failures,
more financial ruin than any other
form of gambling and congress should
stamp 1t out
As long as this form OF gambling
Is openly recognized and tolerated all
efforts to stamp out common card
table gambling will be neutrallzed.
1t is more ruinous to permit the
board OF trade gambling than the
green cloth kind. More widespread
larm comes from the stock gambling,
aiken as a world-evil, than from card
able gambling. Card gambling can
,e stamped out by united efforts on
,art of officials, while the stock gam
,ling cannot be touched at present,
because of the strong arm of the law
,eing thrown about It.

members OF congress let 1t be exer-

JUTE MARKET IN INDIA.

Consul General William II. Mich
ael, of Calcutta, supplies the follow
ing details Of the jute trade in India:
The jute business for one day In
Calcutta will suggest something OF
the present trade conditions affect
ing that commodity. on October IL
the import of jute into Calcutta
amounted to 100000 pounds. There
was exported on the same day 81
720 900 pounds, and the total amount
held instock amounted to 57,612,24O
pounds. Balers bought 2,44S,0 900
pounds at s1.33 to 1915 per so
pounds; the mills bought for con-
sumption $4,000 pounds at s1.56 to
1914.
The local market, that is the brok-
er's price, was cents lower than
that paid by the mills. On the same
day in London the price for the same
grade of jute was $13 and a fraction
per bale, and the demand was slack,
mills buying sparingly.
The gunny market on the same day
was almost dead. Heavy "cees,"
were reported at 1914 per bale for
January and March, and light Gees
at 1924 for the same delivery. Corn
sacks were priced at $11.S3 for pres
ent delivery, Hessions were quiet. no
sales being made. This shows very
different state of the market from
what 1t was one year ago, when prices
were going upward and all the trade
eager to buy everything in the shape
OF jute in sight.

TO HELP INDIAN FIGHTERS.

Representative Hawley Of the first
fOregon district, has introduced two
important bills in the present session
of congress affecting the survivors Of
the Cayuse Indian wars of 1919,
and also of the Bannock Indian war
of 1873.
Both bills provide that pensions be
granted to surviving soldiers and Of
ficers Of these Indian wars and the
provisions Of the bills, II they become
laws, will vitality affect many a wor-
thy pioneer Of eastern Oregon.
The government has been too slow
in remembering its pioneer Indian
fighters. The soldiers who fought in
the bloody Cheyenne and Arapahoe
wars in Kansas and Indian territory
in 1867-8 have not yet been relieved
and many Of the old fellows have
passed on to the other side. A bill
by Senator Curtis Of Kansas, provides
for the relief OF these veterans and

UNFROCKED.

A prominent clergyman of New
England is now in hiding in San
Francisco with a woman whom he
loved and eloped with; a Seattle pas
tor has been turned out because of
the fervent love letters he wrote to an
old sweetheart in the east, and now
prominent Episcopal rector is un-
frocked because he fell head over
heels in love with a young woman
of his congregation, although mar
ried himself.
What are Kingdoms, position, hon.
ors riches, compared to the dream Of
love? What are frocks, robes, books,
pulpits, religious rites, compared to
the enchanting whisper of Cupid's
ruddy lips. What are worlds COM
pared to the woman you love or the
man you love?
Drive a man to the end of the
world and strip him of every honor
and every vestige Of wealth and still
he is happy If he is loved and is al
lowed to love. Clothe him in rags
and feed him upon a crust and he is
yet king If near him sings the OBJ
ject Of his affection.
And give him all the priestly robes
in Christendom, all the riches and all
the kingdoms on aarth, and his heart
and life are bitter and empty If he
is not loved or cannot love.
Honor and power and position and
character are things to be coveted.
but when you count over the highly
intellectual, determined, strong, force
full men who have surrendered to the
wiles Of Cupid, something of the ter
rible power of this ruthless conquer
or may be estimated.

the other a bill appropriating $780,
