COLORADO LAWYER
CHARGED WITH FRAUD
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Denver. Oct. 13.--George +. Pat
rick. one of the best known lawyers
in the state, a wealthy politician of
Pueblo and close personal friend
of many United States officials, is
charged by the government with
fraud and false testimony in securing
and filing on land patents.
Suit was instituted today in the
federal court on two separate COM
plants. one on an alleged fraudulent
homestead title and the other on q
iesert land claim. Only the fact thai
the cases are ten years old, the en-.
tries having been made in 1898 and
1899, prevents the charge from being
criminal and perjury.
Mr.. Patrick is one of the leading
citizens of Pueblo. He is well
known Republican and has been in
many campaigns.
The land in question consists of
320 acres in Otero county and is some
of the most valuable property in that
part of the state. Mr.. Patrick is also
accused of securing witnesses, name
ly his wife, Mary e. Patrick, and
Everett Roberts of Sugar City. to give
false testimony to S. A. Abbey. reg

Especial to The Sentinel. ]

New York, Oct lS.-Distinguished d
missionaries, clergymen and iaymen
from many parts of the world are as
embled lin Brooklyn today at the
meeting of the American Board of
Foreign Missions. For nearly a CEN
tury Congregationalists and others
interested in foreign missionary work
have made this board channel for
their gifts to aid the propagation of
the gospel in other lands.
China and Japan have in the past
been the principal beneficiaries of the
board. but owing to the awakening
in Turkey, that country will prob
ably receive much attention. Many
authorities on missions believe that
the time is now ripe for the Christian
ization of the land of Abdul Hamid
and that properly directed efforts
will result in the substitution of the
cross of Christianity for the crescent
of Mohammedanism.

WHY FEAR THE PEOPLE?

In view OF the fact that a demo-
crat has not been sent to congress
from oregon, within at least 80 years,
and possibly longer, we called up sew
eral leading members of the party
and without looking up their ancient
histories they could not tell in what
decade 1t was, or who the man was.
One gentleman thought it was
Whitaker and we believe he is cor
rect, it seems that the opposition to
statement No. l by a few of the
republicans on the ground that they
might be compelled to vote for a dem
ocratic United States senator is not
well founded.
There is not the least fear. gentle
men, of such contingency, and If
in a state like Oregon, which is cred
tied with republican majority of
anywhere from 25,OO0 to 10000. 4
democrat should receive plurality,
the way the natural drift Of public
opinion towards popular government
is increasing, there is a mighty poor
argument that could be put up to
justify any representative in not vot-
ing for him.-La Grande Observer.

THE CAMERA IN HISTORY.

The camera is going to write much
of the history of the future. Pic
lures are more graphic than words,
and appeal to the reader in a realis-
tic manner.
Even in dry government reports the
camera has come to play a major
part The most prosaic subject IS
rendering fascinating by photographs
and congressional committees and de-
rartment officials have come to rec
ognize this and to take advantage OF
1t.
The East Oregonian has just receiv-
ed from Congressman Ellis the re.
ports of the Gettysburg National Park
committee of congress, a volume Of
about 400 pages. OF the report. 1O7
pages is composed of reading matter
and 300 pages of photographs Of va
rious places of interest, mountains
tablets, roadways, prominent points
in the battle of Gettysburg and other
features of the battle ground.
Not one person in one hundred
would read the report, but every per-
son into whose hands the volume
might fall, will look with entranced
interest upon the photographs of the
battlefield In these photographs the
old veteran is able to go over the
field again, to see the soldiery in ac-
ton, to recall the charges up and
down those insanguined hills and
across those fields, and to picture in
his mind the thrilling feats of that
struggle.
So the camera is going to write the
best part of the history Of the future
