SERMONS IN CARTOONS.

The faclle pen Of the cartoonist is
far more powerful than the preacher
or the editor. 1t carries home con-
vstion which it is impossible for
words to impress. 1t clinches argu>
ments more forcibly than any impas-
stoned eloquence ever dare to attempt.
In the Spokesman-Re Review Of Sun
day are two cartoons which are wor-
thy of special mention since they are
original with Morris the Spokane car
toonist.
One represents the states of Idaho
and Washington as fair young women
riding in automobiles. Idaho is ac-
companied by two fighting politicians,
who in their vicious struggle are neg
lecting the automobile of the Gem
state and it is running wildly near the
brink of an abyss, while Idaho is
ready to leap out to save her life.
Washington is represented as a fair
young woman seated happily in her
big machine, running smoothly along
d broad, safe highway. labeled direct
primary law"
She has no fighting politicians to
contend with. She is not threatened
with disaster by being thrown over the
brink of political corruption. She is
running along safely and contentedly
on a broad highway of popular legis-
lation.
The lessen is significant. No amount
Of sermonizing could carry the weight
of this cartoon.
The other cartoon is that of an old
farmer, representing Joe Cannon,
speaker OF the house, with his wagon
standing squarely across the railroad
track, his horse unhitched and eating
out of the rear of the wagon, the
driver snoozing contentedly on the
seat, with a long cigar in his mouth
ard half asleep.
A train loaded with frantic people,
labeled "the public" has come to a
halt where the wagon is standing on
the track, but all the shouting and
noise of the public fails to awaken
the snoozing old farmer, Joe Cannon.
and the progress of the train is i'm

arrangement. understanding or dis
oussion OF the subject, every member
of the convention studiously refrained
from the mention of Haywood's name.
During the entire deliberations the
name OF the federation secretary was
not spoken although he is being foist-
ed upon the country as presidential
timber, and was perhaps foremost in
the minds of many of the delegates
curing, the day.
There is no other explanation for
the matter, than that by mental con-
sent, the members of the convention
maintained silence. Haywood had
brought odium upon the party and
Umatilla county socialists did not join
in the loud clamor for his acquittal

without prearrangement or agreement,
but simply through common mental
consent. the would-be martyr was not

hands upon him. gets off; your little
thief is likely to go to jail.
But even the little offenders chances
are good-better than two to one. For
Of 1887 cases of grand larceny re-
ported by the chief clerk of the dis
trict attorney of New York for the
seven years ended December 81, 1906,
there were 66S7 cases acquitted, dis
charged or dismissed, and there were
only 440O convictions.
The fact that there have been a few
more convictions for embezzlement in
1907 than in the previous year in
nearly all the large cities is merely
the result OF there having been a much
greater number of embe1zlements,
and does not mark a growing tenden-
ey to prosecute, as some mlsinformed
writer's seem to think.

BIG THIEVES ESCAPE.

Writing in the Saturday Evening
Post, Bailey Millard tells how the big
thief escapes. He says: In New York,
az is shown by the records of District
Attorney Jerome's office, the big thief
nearly always goes free. OF S274
cases Of grand larceny-under which
head comes embezzlements-in the
years 1905 and 1906 there were only
three cases Of conviction in which the
sum named in the records was $780,
900 or over.
The great mass Of the other convic-
tions was for the stealing Of sums
ranging from 800 to $1,000. Your

MR.. CAKES POSITION.

The Oregon Sunday Journal de-
clares that H. NJ. Cake has forsaken
the statement No. principle which
ne advocated before the primaries. 1t
says that he has kicked the statement
No. people out of doors.
Here is what is the matter with the
Journal: The republicans observed
the primary law, nominated candi-
dates in the primaries and came out
fearlessly and emphatically for the OBJ
servance OF that law and made their
contest under it.
The democrats did not do this. In
almost every county in the state they
evaded the primary law. refusing to
put out candidates before the pri-
marles and declining to recognize the
law.
Now after the republicans have
nominated their candidates in the pri-
maries and settled their contests at
that time, the democrats want the
republicans to forsake their own can
didates and accept democrats placed
in nomination on petition after the
primaries
Why did not the democrats get out
candidates and observe the primary
law? Why did they not make an ef-
fort 10 get out good men before the
primaries and not wait to try to dis
rupt the republicans after the pri-
maries?
The Journal is now "sore" because
Mr.. Cake and his followers will not
Torsake their party nominees and fol-
low these clandestine nominations
made after the primaries. Mr.. Cake
and his followers made fair, open,
clean fight in the primary election for
statement No. candidates. In most
OF the counties these were nominated
and are being supported by Mr.. Cake
as forcibly today as before the pri-
maries, and the Journal knows it.
Mr.. Cake has not deserted any prin-
ciple which he advocated before the
primaries. He is for statement No. l,
but he will not knife his own party to
please the Journal or any other dem
ocrat He will not be dictated to by
his opponents.
The republicans observed the pri-
mary law and nominated their candi-
dates at that time. The democrats
should have done the same, If they
respect the advance Legislation which
has been passed by the republican
voters Of Oregon. Mr.. Cake is a
republican and is entitled to every
republican vote.

AT DAYBREAK.

AS the faint dawn crept upward, gray
and dim,
He saw her move across the path to
him
Her eyes as they had looked in long
gone years,
Tender with love, and soft with
thoughts Of tears.
Her hands outstretched as If in won-
derment,
Nestled in his, and rested there, con-
tent.
Sweetheart" he whispered, what
glad dream is this?
l feel your clasp-your long-remem-
bered kiss
Touches my lips; l hold your tender
form
Close in my arms again-yea, close
and warm.
"As in the days when first you used to
creep
Into my heart; and yet, this is not

"Is 1t some vision. that with night
will fly?"
NAY, dear" she answered, 1T is

Yea, little sweetheart, it is you, I
know!
But it is strange the dead can meet US
so.
Bodied as we are; see, how like we
stand!"
Yea" she replied, ain form and
face, and hand"
Silent awhile he held her to his
breast,
AS If afraid to try the further test
Then, speaking quickly: Must you go
away?"
Nay, dear" she murmured: neither
night nor day."
Close on her bosom then she drew
his head.
Trembling: 81 do not understand" he
said.
81 thought the spirit world was far
apart"
Nay" she replied, ut is not, now.

"Quick! let me close your eyes with

his bed;

MENTAL SUGGESTION, OR WHAT?

An incident Of mental suggestion,
telepahthy or thought force was re-
Gently recorded in this city which is
worthy Of more than passing notice.
Since these forces are coming to be
recognized in human affairs no illus
tration is too remote to pass unno-
hced.
Thirty or IS members of the social
Est party Of Umatilla county recently
met in county convention in this city
and adopted a platform, named coun-
ty candidates and transacted routine
business incident to a county conven-
don.
AS It was the first meeting Of the
socialists after the acquittal OF Hay
wood at Boise, It would naturally be
supposed that Haywood would shave

ASPIRATION.

Something l may not win attracts
me ever
Something elusive, yet supremely
fair,
Thrills me with gladness, but contents
me never,
Fills me with sadness, yet forbids
despair.
1t blossoms just beyond the paths I
follow,
1t shines beyond the farthest stars
see,
1t echoes faint from ocean caverns
hollow,
And from the land of dreams 1t
beckons me.
1t calls, and all my best, with joyful

THE BOOSTER MOVEMENT.

Pendleton has received much favor
able advertising from the meeting and
organization of her real estate men
All of the northwest papers have taken
UP the subject as a theme for compli-
mentary editorials and whatever un-
favorable mention may have been
made Of Tom Richardson's failure to
enthuse the property owners a week
before, has been drowned in the
praises for the real estate mems boos-
ter meeting.
The seed that was scattered in the
Tom Richardson meeting, failure
though it was, will grow and ripen
into a publicity movement for Una
tilla county which will surpaSs any
thing Of the kind in Oregon.
There is more to offer in the way
Of land, water, climate, transportation
facilities investment opportunity,
home making opportunity in Umatilla
county than in any other eastern Ore
gon county. The area of vacant land
which is ready for settlement, is
greater here than in any other county.
And the spirit Of the country, the
live, vigorous class Of citizens all COM
hine to make the booster movement
success here. Something has been
started which no opposition can ever
stop. Come and be a elmer"

JUST A HINT FOR HEPBURN.

Senator Hepburn continues to stri-
IDENTIFY inquire why so much money is
spent annually by the government on
forest preservation. The clever sena-
tor should look over the French bud

country of Frances area $5O,OOO.O 900
was spent in one year for reforesta-
tlon-such enormous expenditures be-
ing made necessary by the floods fol-

an unidentified man was found dead
in an Illinois Central box car at Nine
tieth street, remains today without any
the man who was found dead in the
car was robbed for his money and that
he was man of good family could be
easily detected from the shape in which
the remains were left.
AT least 100 persons calls at the
county morgue yesterday to view the
body of the murdered man found We'd

GOOD SERVICE COMING
Rehabilition of Car Lines
Means Much For
South Chicago.

South Chicagoans who have been
made the victims of wretched street
car service for years past, will be glad
to learn that a complete rehabilitation
of Chicago entire street system is to be
made in the near future-not only will
the down town districts be benefited,
but territory In and about South Chi
cago will be improved as well.
The rehabilitation of Chicagos street
car system has now progressed far in
advance of the requirements laid down
in the franchise ordinance.
The traction ordinances require the
city railway company to reconstruct
sixty miles of electric road and thirty
miles of cable lines within specified
period.
Seyenty-Five Miles Down.
Approximately seventy five miles
have already been reconstructed and
by the close of the present year many
additional miles will follow the recon
struction work which has been going
on for months with a force of over
5000 workmen, and which is rapidly
changing the system from one of the
worst in the country into the best in
any city in the world.
Within certain districts the ordi-
nances provide that the overhead wires
be replaced with insulated lear-covered
distribution feeders, and this work is
being carried out simultaneously with
the laying of the new tracks and the
building of car barns and distributing
Isubstations.
To prevent electrolysis the company
is installing negative auxiliary bare
copper wires for conducting the return
current back to the power houses and
substations Twenty-one miles of this
copper wire was installed last year and
2S.3 miles up to Aug. l of this year
An additional 10 miles will be added
during the remainder of this season.

FARMERS FLOCK THERE
Steel Mills Will be Thrown

Tomorrow the Gary steel mills will
have open house to residents of Lake
county. and all wishing to see the
sights of the wonderful creation will
have one of the few opportunities to
crafty their desire. The works will be
thrown open to the people and they will
be taken through and shown the sights
by competent guides which will be
provided for the occasion. Sam Wood, s
farmer living in the south end of the
county. is the originator of the idea,
and has made the arrangements for

It is hard to estimate the number of
persons who will take advantage of
this opportunity, but 1t is thought that
they will likely be composed largely of
farmers. They will dine at the Gary
hotel at noon after they arrive in
town, after which they will go directly
to the mills. Those who will have the
opportunity to go will have a chance
not only to see the greatest mill of its
kind in the world, but the scene OF

If two of them had not been fortunate
enough to escape the wheels by being
thrown out of the way of the over

AS it was Mr. Eisler was caught I'M

him that he escaped without injury.
The accident happened at the corner
of Fifth avenue and Broadway
Eisler and two other men were riding
in the grocery wagon when Eisler tried
to turn the rig around in the narrow
pavement on one side of the street car
tracks
The wheels of the rig cramped and
the wagon turned turtle. It threw the
two passengers OFF to one side but Mr..
Eisler was caught under the wagon.
In the meantime the horse became
frightened and ran away. The wagon
then the front wheels and the shafts
became separated from the wagon and
the horse carried these along with him
until he was caught farther down the

all intact they congratulated them
selves over the fact that they had such
a fortunate escape from injury.
