of Schwerin's statement published In
the Chinese New Era.

r. p. Schwerin, vice president and
general manager of the Pacific Mail
company, is suffering from a violent
attack of dyspepsia, the result of an
overdose of humble pie which he ate at
the dictation of the leading Chinese
merchants of this city. He is now at
Paso Robles taking treatment. At
Paso Robles and at the Hartman of
fees in this city the big chiefs ailment
is diagnosed as lumbago. but in China
town they know otherwise.
The trouble began when wu Ting
Fang. Chinese minister to Washington.
arrived here on one Of Hartman 8
ships. The leading members of the
Chinese Six companies and the chief
officials of the Chinese chamber of COM
merce donned their crystal beads and
silk robes. hired band and in i'm
posing cavalcade drove to the Pacific
Mail wharf to meet their distinguished
countryman.
MADE TO WAIT IN RAIN
Rain OF the cats and dogs" variety
was pouring down that day When
the celestial merchants reached the
Pacific Mail wharf they were refused
admittance r. P. Schwerin. they were
told, had issued orders that nobody
should be admitted to the dock until
after the liner had been made fast
After waiting an hour in the pouring
rain the silk robed merchants and their
band were allowed to take shelter on
the upper deck of the wharf shed.
When the liner had been secured and
the customs officials had completed
their examination of passengers ef-
fects the dock gates were opened to the
public and the wet and weary Chinese
merchants were permitted to board the
ship and meet WI Ting Fang.

THE CONQUERING JAPANESE,

The Farmers Tribune OF Mime
apolls reviews the life and character
istics of the Japanese in a most
thrilling manner and gives thought
upon the subject of Japanese supre-
macy which is worth while thinking
ebout. If the United States ever
comes to war with the Japanese. the
truth of the Tribune's review will
doubtless be felt in a realistic man
ner.
Under the title of "The Strength of
Hunger" the Tribune says. editori-
ally:
Hungry nations become world
conquerors, if they have vitality. to
struggle and intellectual skill to or
ganize their physical powers. If they
are confined and prolific, they have
no alternative but death by famine.
When the Greeks were hungry they
swarmed over the whole Mediterran-
can. When they waxed fat with con-
quest and weak from luxury and do
mestic strife, the hungry Romans de-
voured them with more formidable
nelghbors in the same condition.
The Romans grew fat with luxury
only to become slaves in turn to lean
and hungry barbarians, who devour-
ed each other in successive waves
of invasion under the same rule.
That is the law of history before
and since. The soldiers of Napoleon,
wanting everything, fell like their
Celtic ancestors in the dawn of his
tory, upon italians who had every
thing they wanted. Later the i'm
petus of hunger turned into thirst
for glory, which carried them over a
continent.
The japanese are the hungriest
vital people in the world today, with
marvellous power to organize and di-
rect their forces. They have all the
virtues of the strong poor, who are
the rich of the future. They are brave
and patient, resolute and prudent.
Their men exercise personal self
denial and give their powers to the
family and the state. Their women
avoid luxury and public station to
give children to both.
They are prolific in their confined
land, gathering their forces while
waiting to see over what Alps and
upon what Italy they shall break like
a bursting reservoir. 1t is for other
nations rather than for them to point
out where the flood shall fall.
II history teaches us anything, it
will be upon that which has most
wealth to invite and least virtue to
repel conquest. And what history
teaches is the law of all life.

FAR FLUNG FRATERNITY.

The East Oregonian has just re-
ceived from Engineer David Cooper
a locomotive engineer formerly OF
the mountain division of the o. r. &
N, now working on the Panama
railroad, a copy Of the Canal Record
an official weekly newspaper publish
ed by the canal commission at Ancon,
canal zone, for the beenfit of offic-
ials and employees.
One page of the record is devoted
to lodge and fraternal news and an
nounces meetings of Masonic, Odd
Fellows, knights of Pythias and
other secret societies at different
camps and towns in the canal zone.
There is a thrilling interest in these
announcements when you consider
where Panama is and what 1t is, and
by whom it has been populated for
centuries
Until the Americans went there no
secret society found a home on that
out-of-the world place. But upon
the going Of the American even to
the wilds Of Panama, fraternity went
also. Lodges were established with
membership coming from every cor
ner Of the globe. Fraternity mingles
sweetly in the work and peril Of the
canal zone. It adds zest to the mo-
notony of the tropics, gives life to
the eternal sameness of the isthmus,
and relieves much Of the oppressive
dullness which pervades that corner
Of the world.
It was an American who organized
the first lodge Of the Knights of
Pythlas order south Of the equator.
A. A. Brown, now working in Baker
City, organized lodge No. l Of that
order in New Zealand. other roam
ing spirits have founded other lodges
in far corners OF the world and
wherever the American goes, frater-
nifty follows.

BUILD A HOUSE IN IL HOURS.

Thomas A. Edison announces that
he has discovered a method by which
a concrete house may be erected in
a period of u hours at cost not to
exceed $1,000.
BY electrical appliances which will
mix. place and harden the concrete
walls in an incredibly short time, the
wizard will soon be able to build you
a home while you wait.
And this suggests the thought that
people waste enormous sums in the
construction of houses. Material,
labor and skill are absolutely wasted
in some of the alleged palaces" while
the artistic taste is destroyed in the
attempt to be sumptuous.
When Edison's plans are complete
and when we may erect a neat, artis-
tic. roomy. attractive concrete house
within the period of day, for a cost
not to exceed one-sixth of a modern
"ginger bread" residence, the golden
age of home making will have arriv-
ed.
Really we have not yet begun to
live sanely and with a view to long
life and comfort. Everything is done
under pressure today. Every nerve
Is strained to the bursting point and
men die while yet far from their
ideals, simply because of the rival
ries. jealousies and hatred of the bus
mess and social world. Let US have
Edison's house and the simple life
for a few centuries and see where the
human race will be.
Let us get down out Of the clouds
and live close to the sweet, whole
some earth, close to nature, close to
ourselves

THE REASON FOR THE MAsoNs

A little girl was asked to write an
essay on the wise man and this is
what she produced:
King Soloman was a man who
lived ever so many years ago In the
country he governed he was the
whole push. He was an awful wise
man and one day two women went
to chop the baby in two and give each
a baby and each claiming it. The
king was not feeling right. Why
could not the brat have been twins
and saved all this trouble? Solomon
called for his sword and was going
to chop the baby in two and give
each one of them a piece of it, when
the one who was the mother of the
baby said: stop Solomon, stay thy
hand: if l can't have the whole baby
don't want any. Let the old hag
have it," Then King Solomon told
her to take the baby and go home
and wash its face for he knew 1t was
hers. He told the other to go chase
herself. King Solomon built a tenn
pie and was the father of all the
Masons. He had 700 wives and 800
lady friends and that's why there are
so many Masons in the world. My
papa says King Solomon was warm
member and 1 think he was hot stuff
myself. That's all l know about
King Solomon.-Selected by Owyhee
