SOUL KISS GIVES LONG
HOURS OF PLEASURE

A novelty filled musical comedy is
1.-THE Soul Kiss" which will make its
Initial appearance in this city at the
oregon theater on Friday, November
5. Unlike many musical comedies,
"The Soul Kiss does not depend up
on one number or novelty alone to in
sure Its success, but from the rise Of
the first curtain to the finale of the
last act, It is filled to the brim with
overflowing comedy lines and situa-
tions, startling novelties, and pleasing
melodies. Too much cannot be said
in praise of the beautiful and finish
ed music of Composer Maurice Levi.
The enhancing melodies throughout
the piece are striklngly well-fitted to
the clever lyrics of Harry B. Smith,
and such song numbers as "When
the Swallows Return in the Spring."
"That Wasn't ALL" affinity" Lets
Pretend" "Tha Human NiPht Key"
Every Well Then" "Any Old Place
in the World With You,' and my
Diabolo Beau" are bound to be
whistled by all the theater-goers. "The
Soul Kiss" Is filled with novelties
which in themselves are enough to
make it popular. A competent sup
porting company of seventy fun-mak-
ers have been provided for, each
member Of which handles his or her
role In very efficient manner. SO.
altogether, "The Soul kiss has every
thing In Its favor for successful en-
gagement In this city.

East Oregonian telling Of the Piute
war of 1878 is little out of joint in
several respects, In the first place,
Olney Mccoy was not killed at STAN
field, but he and two other men were
killed on the road crossing the Blue
mountains from La Grande, going to
Umatilla Landing with three loads of
wool. McCoy's body was brought to
Pendleton and buried here, while the
bodies Of the other two were taken
back to La Grande. One of them
was Mclaughlin, the other I have for
gotten. George Coggin was killed
about twelve miles east of Pendleton
on Little Cottonwood. 1 made the
coffins for both. also built the scaf-
fold that White Owl, Quittitumps and
Apo were hanged upon. They were
hanged for killing Geo. Coggln-I was
on the jury that tried them.
l would be pleased at some time to
meet the correspondent from Butter
creek, as I am confident 1 could in
terest him and also straighten out
some of the kinks in his think tank
about early "reminiscences.

MR.. TURNER REPLIES

DEPUTY GAME WARDEN
DEFENDS RECENT ACTION
Submits Evidence Against Hotel Man
Whom He Fined for Serving Fish
Blames q. s. Government for Waste
of Trout.
Pendleton, Ore. Nov. l, 1909.

Pendleton, Ore. Nov. l, 1909.
To the Editor East Oregonian:-
In answer to Mr. H. ]. Longley's
article from Hermiston, printed in
your paper OF October 2S, about the
people of Hermiston being incensed at
me for enforcing the state game law
for selling trout, will say, first, that
Mr.. Longley stated that the hotelman
was fined for serving one meal, when
the facts Of the case are that the ho-
telman took in and used one-half
gunny sack full of trout, then later
bought more and served. Now as my
"friend" Mr.. Longley boards there, it
ia no wonder it looks better in print
TO say he served trout one meal.
He also says that all was inter-
ested in was my one-half of the fine.
Now It looks as legitimate to arrest
a man that breaks the law and get
my part of the fine, as it does to sit
behind a desk with stomach full OF
ill-gotten trout and roast game war
dens and "skin" Missourians by SELL
ing them sagebrush land at from
$50 to $500 an acre and pocket
part Of the commission. He also
mentions that the uext time 1 was
in need Of a little ready money that
the citizens Of Hermiston would do
nate it. Now as to the most Of the
citizens Of that town their money
would look good to me, but as bad as
I need money, and as much nerve"
as 1 am accused of having, 1 couldn't
accept money Of man that will eat
friend trout and only pay rs cents
for the meal, as this is what Mr..
Longley's article stated.
I will agree with Mr.. Longley in
one part Of his article, and that Is,
that the u S. government is to blame
for these trout being left to die in
these bitches, but II I can't arrest an
ordinary American citizen for break
ing the state law without being jump
ed on with both feet, through the pa
pers. I sure would look great trying to
drag "Uncle Sam" to the bar Of JUS
tice. 0. f. TURNER,
Deputy Game Warden.

OAKLAND RACE TRACK
WILL DEFY LAWS
For Your Thanksgiving.

Chicago race track will
open on November 20 for a meeting
of sixty days or more, despite the de-
cision Of the California law courts ad-
verse to the contention of the racing
interests that the hostile Otis Walker
law is unconstitutional That was the
positive statement made by President
Thomas H. Williams of the New Cali
fornia Jockey club, who has arrived
in the city from New York.
The plans, so far as racing is con-
cerned, will not be altered" said Mr..
Williams. 1--WE will hold a sixty day
meeting at Oakland-longer l hope.
No purse will be less than $3.50, and
If conditions warrant there will be
overnight handicaps Of $1,000 or
more. No stake events have been
opened but we will be as liberal with
horsemen as possible. At confer
ence with the Los Angeles interests
in New York we decided there would
be no attempt to race atLos Angeles"

ERRORS IN "REMINISCENCES

Pendleton, Ore, Nov. 1, 1909.
Editor East Oregonian:
Dear sir-My attention has been
called to an article In the East Ore
gonian of october 80, entitled Rem
iniscences Of Gen. o. o. Howard" in
which the writer states that near
where Mccoy and Coggln were killed,
there is camp of 200 people now liv-
ing in tents while waiting to build
their houses in the new town Of
Stanfield.
Olney Mccoy, Tomas Smith and
John Myers were killed on the Blue
mountains near what is now called
Dead Mans Hill, about Is miles east
Of Pendleton on the 7th day Of July
1878. The three men left Meacham
that morning with their teams COM
ing to Pendleton against the earnest
protests Of those living at Meacham
at that time. They succeeded in get
ting almost out Of the timber before
they were attacked and all three were
killed. While the Indians were en-
gagged in plundering the wagons, Cog
gins, Bunker and Foster came up
horseback. Making a detour they
succeeded in passing the Indians and
made their way down the mountains.
After passing Old Cayuse station some
distance they were attacked by a
small party Of Indians and running
fight took place, in which Coggins
was killed and Bunker wounded.
Coggin well where he was shot.
Bunker and Foster reached Pendle-
ton and were witnesses against the
three Indians afterward hung in PEN
dleton, near where the old city Jail
now stands.

nSIIAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Twelve months ago people from
one end of the country to the other
were preaching conservatism. We
had not forgotten the effects of the
panic. and the national election was
near at hand. The ~irrepressible was
in the White House, and it was al
ways a guess what the next develop
ment would be. But the election is
over now, and business has about
struck a normal stride. New condi-
tons prevail in the White House, and
it appears that the gamblers in
stocks. bonds and futures are deter
mined to wreck the country or starve
the w%age-earners. Prices + jump
ing in leaps and bounds until the sit
uation astonishes the most sanguine.
The United States has tided over
every crisis that has arisen in this
country. She has withstood the
approach of every enemy, but in her
many reforms she has not as yet
been able to subdue the evil of stock
gambling. 1t is hoped that the near
future will produce men with the abil-
ity and the courage to put a stop to
the reckless practices by these pro-
f~essional gamblers who ever keep the
people in a state of discomfort.

A Low ESTIMATE.

The Nashville Banner takes special
pains to draw comparisons between
conditions in Turkey and the United
States relative to lynching. 1t cites
that the first victim to be executed
after the new ruler assembled the
throne was a colored man. What diff
ference does it make whether he
was red or blue if he was one
of the number to be hanged there
was no more dishonor in being the
first than the last. We fail to see
wherein it justifies lynching in this
country. Again, it appears that the
execution was in keeping with the GUS
toms Of the country. We are informed
that the people in that country ex-
pected a number of the old regime to
be put to death. 1t seems to be their
method of inaugurating the new rulers
reign. The Turks are not a Christian
people, and to compare their ways
with those of the United States is put
ting a very low estimate on our civil
lization.

NEGRO DOLLS FOR COSTA RIGA.
Citizens of the Progressive Little Re-
public of Central America Keep
Abreast with the Times.

CltlZenS OF the progressive LIlVS nc
public of Central America Keep
Abreast with the Times.
Upon a visit to the headquarters of
the National Negro Doll Company of
this city last week it was learned that
this concern is still doing an enor
nous mail order business, sending
out these new toys with regularity
and with promptness. The manager
of the Doll Company had just re-
ceived an order from a customer in
the Republic of Costa RIGA. It was
sent by Rev. VIM. Forde, of Port
Limon. This is indeed interesting
from the fact that these citizens so
far to the south, living in a tropi-
cal climate, should send to Nashville
for Negro dolls. 1t is no news or
nothing strange for local firms to
fill orders for books, Sunday-school
periodicals, Bibles, bells and the like,
but it was not expected that the Ne
gro doll question would be agitated in
Costa RIGA, or in any Of the Antilles,
to such an extent, but this one order,
according to a statement of the man
ager of the Negro Doll Company, is
only a preceder of a good business
that will come from Central American
republics and the West Indies Is
lands during the coming holidays.
Rev. Mr.. Forde is pastor of the larg-
est church in Port Limon which is the
principal railroad center and sea
port of the republic. Other cities of
any size in Costa RIGA are Bocas Del
fora, the principal seaport, and San
Jose, with Jinenez the greatest rs a
railroad center. This little republic
boasts of a progressive people.

FIFTY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEM-
BLY,.

BLY,.
The adjournment of the Fifty+sixth
General Assembly passed into history a
session that was notable in more ways
than one. Much good was accomplished
by the members of that body, though
at times ~factionalism ruled rather than
conservatism. The appropriation bill
was larger than usual, which is to be
expected if the state is progressing. OF
all the bills passed those that stand
out prominently are the prohibition
bill, the general educational bill, and
the bill authorizing primary elections.
Each one of these bills is of vast i'm
portance to every citizen in the state.
They all tend toward reform, and two
of them, the election and educational
laws, should be carefully studied.
The election law authorizing prima-
ries should receive special investiga-
ton; for every voter will be required
to meet its demands. We again call
the attention Of our readers to the sec
tons of this law that we are running
from time to time in the columns Of
this paper.
The educational bill, which is the
most important of the three, should al
so be given careful investigation, for
we cannot hope to have voters compe-
tent to do their duty unless they are
taught the fundamental principles of
citizenship. So u educational needs
demand our first consideration.
Every sane man, who will speak the
truth, must admit that a community is
better off without dramshops than with
them. He may not have been effected
at anytime by their existence, but
he cannot fail to have seen his brother
being dragged to degradation by the de-
ceitful demon-strong drink. Negroes
will be especially blessed by the opera
ton of such a law, for the black man
and the black woman have not had the
protection the law provides against
dens of vice, but have been allowed to
stroll the streets and to cengregate in
dives and disgrace themselves and the
community. Little Negro boys and girls
are admitted to saloons and are al.
lowed to purchase beer and whisky
they have been reared, so to speak
in the dives. The prohibition law viii
put an end to these practices. Men who
have heretofore spent their evenings
in the saloons will go to their homes
and spend those hours with their wives
and children. And if, perchance, they
stop to spend a few minutes with somt
friend the surroundings, whatever the.
may be, cannot possibly be as detri
mental as those found in every dram
shop. All of the Negroes of the stat
were charged by some as being in fay
or of the saloon. This accusation i
not true. Some of them were in favo
of the saloon and are yet, and Will
thousands imbibe strong drink thou
sands are teetotalers. The Negroe
voted in the last state election to sui
themselves. They were Independent
then and from what can be learned !
seems they intend to remain SO. The
muddied the political pond, it is true
but the object was not to aid the whii
key interests; they incidentally hal
pened to be in the same channel g

And Florida. Too.

Down in Florida the true animus
of the south is eXemplified in the.
amendment proposed to ~disfranchise
the Negro. There is no whipping of
the devil around the stump, but it is
clear cut and markedly presented.
The amendment provides that after
its adoption by legislature, ratifica-
ton by the people and PRONUNCIATION
by the governor, that qualified voters
of Florida shall be white male citi-
zens Fl years of age. Now, this is
bold notification of the 14th and 18th
amendments to the federal constitu-
ton, and presents the question in
such a light that there cannot be any
evasion of passing upon the right of
the states to nullify any part of the
federal constitution by our courts.
Our border state is to be commended
for its boldness and candor. 1t has
made no attempt to hide behind arti-
fetal subterfuges, but has met the
issue squarely and put it up to the
courts to dispute it's right to deny
Negro citizens the right to vote. Now,
what is the country going to do about
it?-Atlanta Independent.
