WANTS SOME ONE TO AID HIM
IN WORK FOR UNFoRTUNATEs

LOS ANGELES, June 26.-[Editor
Herald; VIII some one help me to
complete a work that l have taken up
to help men who are down through the
curse of drink, and prevent some moth
er's boy from getting started wrong
in life, as | did?
1 began to drink when 1 was IA years
old, and have been drinking ever since
up to a short time ago. The habit of
drink caused me to lose every position
I ever had where 1t was necessary for
man to have a clear head. was
enticed away from home when l was
boy by a drunken tramp. On the first
trip l learned how to beat my way,
and for thirty years l have tramped
and hoboed it all over the United
states. I have worked at many things
and have seen much Of life 1t is my
desire and determination to live a
Christian life and to spend the rest of
my days in helping others.
1 possess an extra good memory, and
am a close observer. l have partly
written up the scenes and incidents of
my life and travels. I want to form
part of my life into a illustrated lee
ture and part into book form. 1t will
cost me $75 or $500 to get my work in
shape.
God has pardoned and forgiven me Of
my sins, and given me a new hope in
life. but in order to take up this work
l need money. 1t is nothing new to me
to need money. 10 cents or two bits,
but this is the first time in my life that
l needed such a large amount. I have
asked hundreds of people for the price
Of meal, but somehow or other the
majority of them were just a little
short.
The Herald has offered to help me all
1t can. so 1 write this letter to its many
readers in the hope it will appeal to
some one who is not just little short
of change to help me. I would like to
meet some one who is able to help me.
If any one wants to help me in this
work, please send what you can to The
Herald. JAMES CLARK

DENIES FERMENTED LIQUORS
WERE USED AT SACRED FEAsTs

LOS ANGELES, June 26.-IEditor
Herald: Savonarola argues correctly,
since a Judge worthy the name would
in his verdict consider the known good
character of one who was mallgned
only by his enemies.
False witnesses" appear against
Christianity who strive to ascribe to its
founder the principle of a Judas who
sold his master for gold. The life ana
influence of purity and self-sacritice
are irresistible arguments for Jesus
for truth assailed vindicates itself
One is not "unco' guid' who would de-
fend the reputation of the just which
only the base ever seek TO lnJure'
Not all the ignoramuses in the world
can alter the fact that the Jews of the
present hour use the liquid of stewed
raisins to avoid the possibility OF Ter
mentation at their sacred feasts. me
Oxford Bible index has nothing to do
with the fact that there was no sus-
picion of alcohol at the feast of the
Passover which Jesus celebrated WIN
his disciples, at which feast fermented
bread even could not be eaten under

hood were forbidden strong drink when
going into the temple of the LORD

even the awful sin of the liquor traffic
which fosters all the other as bad
sins mentioned by c. F. Alcohol as
beverage Is sin against science, de-
cency and Christianity, which forbids
us to look at wine when it ferments.
If men and conditions We're studied
more and books less there would be no
further attempt to place the sin of the
LIQUOR traffic on Noah or Jesus, who
said: Eye cannot serve God and mann

WATER TRANSFORMATION
is DECLARED A PARABLE

LOS ANGELES, June 26.--[Editor
Hera!dl During the la. few weeks
several correspondents have given their
opinions through the Letter Box of
whether the wine altered from water
by the Lord was fermented wine or
no..
Has no one of the writer's come to
the truth, that that story is a parable?
The Lord, whose mission was to
teach us morality, could he be able to
give $50 gallons of wine. according to
one of the correspondents, to a drunken
bout?
Has the Master not said: II shall
speak in parallels etc, and is this
parable not a proof of his saying =?
Mountebanks and jugglers can let fool
Ssh people believe that they can alter
water into wine.
Christians who believe that the Lord
has done that make of him juggler

THINKS AMERICANS PAY
INCOME TAX OF BRITONS

| LAKESIDE, Cal, June 24-[Editor
Herald: In your editorial on tariff re-
vision of the 18th inst. you say that
most or practically all of the United
States (cotton) plants are branches of
British factories"
This statement suggests the inquiry
whether the people of America are not
through these branch factories and
otherwise-contributin to the British
income tax in ways and to an extent
I that should be counteracted or initiated
In monthly consular reports for June
Special Agent Charles NJ. Pepper gives
/ the particulars of this tax, from which
I quote %. 210): Schedule D-The an
nual profits or gains arising or accru-
/ ing in the United Kingdom from any
kind of property whatever whether sit
uated in the United Kingdom or else
where, and the annual profits or gains
arisi g or accruing to any person re-
siding in the United Kingdom from any
trade, profession, employment or voca-
ton, whether the same shall be re-
spectively carried out in the United
Kingdom or elsewhere.
N 1909 the income tax was the great
est single source of revenue, amounting
to 933, $4,000, or one-fifth of the total
revenue of the British government.
Aside from the special question which
I suggest here, this report will prove
timely and valuable to the American
people just now as affording useful
pointers for securing an income tax so
as to get the most out of it.
The report on page of the same
document concerning income taxes in
France will also interest Americans es-
pecially those residing in Paris, when
it comes to paying on an income as
snned to be seven times the rent they
pay. j. j. HENDERSON.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
IS BEING USED

That the free public library is be-
ing made use of by the public more
and more evey day is indicated by the
report books of Miss PATTERSON, the
librarian. on an average OF 10 per-
sons have used the reading room daily
since the opening of the library while
from six to ten persons register daily
for permission to take out books. A
total of 6S Is now enrolled and the
indications are that the number Of
people making use of the library will
be several times as great as under
the old conditions.
The magazines ae now on the ta-
bles in the reading room and are
available for the use of the public.
Current numbers of all the leading
periodicals will be kept on the ta-
bles from this time on and an effort
Is to be made to complete the files
of all magazines. Miss Patterson is
now making list of those magazines
needed and as soon as she has the
list completed. 1t will be published
so that persons having old magazines
can look over what they have and
bring in what is needed.

PENDLETON HOTEL
PLANS COMPLETED

Achitect Howard has completed
the elevation and floor plans for the
remodeled and enlarged Hotel Pendle-
ton and the work of adding the extra
two stories will soon be under way.
The elevation plan for the Main street
front is now on exhibition in the ho-
tel office.
The appearance of the new struc-
ture will differ materially from that
of the present one. Instead of three
stories there will be five and instead
of the little tower and other 'ginger
bread" work, the top of the building
will be perfectly plain.
Each of the two top floor plans are
exactly alike. There will be 22 rooms
on each, seven sample rooms and fif-
teen bedrooms. As in all other modern
hotels in the larger cities, the sample
rooms will be equipped with beds,
baths, etc, for the accommodation of
the travelling men.
The elevator will take the place of
the stairs leading up from the little
hallway between the office and the
dining room and it will be possible to
enter the building by means of the
Water street elevator entrance.
The two additional floors call for
the installation Of exactly 100 pieces
of plumbing. The equipment and ar
rangement of the building will be
modern in every respect, giving PEN
dleton the largest and best arranged
hotel in the state, outside of Port
land.

SULTAN'S SONS HAD
NEVER SEEN EACH OTHER

An interesting copy of a Turkish
newspaper has just been received by
Norman Sarkis, advertisement setter
on the East Oregonian. The paper
contains much news regarding the big
uprising and the overthrow of Abdul
Hamid. 1t IS also we'll illustrated
with cuts of the leading Young Turks.
One picture is of especial interest
and it shows something of the des-
potic manner in which Abdul Hamid
ruled. 1t is a group picture taken
on board a German warship and
shows the two sons of the new sultan.
Mehemmed V. The sons are Nedjm

ers under orders from the deposed
sultan. This was doubtless done
through Abdul Hamd's fear that his
brother or his brothers children
would seek to overthrow him.

ordinary amateur shows that are put
on and nobody will >regret the price

was crowded to the doors last night;
the jokes were all up to date, the
songs were rendered good and the
choruses and drills were of the first
order. Mr.. Bloomfield says to re-
mind the public that Thursday night
will be local gag night for the min
strels, so the people Of Pendleton had
better be watching what they are do
ing from now till then. The profess
sional team is good in their tramp
sketch and Myrtle Bloomfield is sing
ing a pretty illustrated song. The
pictures are all of the first order.
