HELP THEM OUT.

When the Indians were given their
rent money yesterday the govern
ment started upon an experiment, that
of making the tribesmen their own
business managers. The sum of $685.
600 was paid them yesterday and the
Indians were admonished to pay their
debts and then deposit the balance of
the money in banks.
Having relied for so long upon the
arm of the government it will natur-
ally be difficult for the Indians to
make good under this plan. How
ever many of them will use their
money wisely and all should be en-
couraged by the white men to fol-
low the path of thrift. If local peo-
pie will but do what they can to help
the Indians it will be easier for the
tribesment to learn the lesson of CIV
ilization, a lesson that is very hard
for them to master.

are number of iron CRATES used as
vents for easements on Main street
that are so filled with tobacco spit
and other filth that they are all but
closed. In this condition they are
unsightly besides being a menace to
health.
These remarks are not intended as
a criticism Of the present city ply
scian who is unquestionably COM
petent official 1t is more a criti-
cism of the system in vogue here.
The city health officer does not have
adequate power at this time and the
salary paid is not sufficient to justify
him in devoting much time to the
work
Why not have more rigid laws gov
erning sanitary conditions within the
city, and have these laws rigidly en-
forced? Make Pendleton the cleanest
city in the northwest and therefore
the most healthful place in which to
live.

KEEP THE CITY CLEAN.

over in Tacoma a health officer has
just made a rigid inspection Of the
restaurants and other public eating
houses of that city. AS a result Of
his tour he has given orders that in
every public eating house the dishes
be,thoroughly scalded every time they
are used. The restaurant men de-
clare themselves entirely willing to
comply with the request.
This incident Is here mentioned be-
cause It shows how by proper work
on the part Of city health departments
the public health may be protected.
Such inspections are needed in every
city, whether large or small.
It would be well for Pendleton II
more could be done here along the line
of enforcing proper sanitary rules.
Not only should restaurants be inves-
tigated but so should dairies, meat
markets, produce stores eac. Base
ments and backyards should be close
ly watched and so should the side

HENEY's sTALWART WORK.

In prosecuting the San Francisco
grafters Francis ]. Heney is doing stall
wart work. 1t is work that is entire
ly good for san Francisco and for CAL
ifornia in spite of the bitter criticism
that is made of the prosecution. He
ney is being harshly criticised and
abused because has has cut deep. In
freeing San Francisco from graft he
hase been forced to cut close to the
heart of that city just as he went close
TO the heart of Oregon when he pros
ecuted our land fraud cases.
In his argument to the jury in the
Calhoun case Heney laid stress upon
that fact that corrupt bosses are
due to those who profit by their cor
ruption. He said:
What a spectacle is this for Am
erican citizens. The history of the
country shows that the menace to our
existence as a republic lies in our
great cities, where we foster the bos-
ses. Bosses are not created-they
merely take advantage Of conditions.
They are supported by two classes, as
they were at the time of the second
election of Eugene E. Schmitz. One
holds forth in the tenderloin, where
they want a permit to commit crime,
to run opium joints, dance halls and to
rob drunken men, hoping to arrange
1t that the police may be blind. The
other class preys from above. They
are the people who live on Pacific ave-
nue. and in the so-called fashionable
neighborhoods. They want higher di-
vidends from their investments in
their gas and railway privileges. But
you don't mean that they join hands
with the tenderloin to accomplish
these ends. Yes, that's exactly what
I do mean. And this is what makes
the boss possible. By sending the
Reufs and that ilk to the penitentiary
you do not change conditions, you
merely create a vacancy for another
boss"
In prosecuting Calhoun, Heney has
done right. Calhoun was the man
"higher up" 1t was his money that
bribed Ruef, Schmitz and the San
Francisco supervisors. 1t was CAL
houn's traction company that profited
by their dishonesty. 1t would be
farce, travesty on justice, to prose-
cute Ruef, Schmitz ct al. and allow
Calhoun, the biggest fish Of all' to
go free.

AMERICAN CHILDREN.

Alfred Mosely, the distinguished
British educator and economist, finds
that the race of children is extinct in
America, says the New York World.
We have brushed the bloom off
natural childishness," and instead of
children there are only little men and
little women, 4-year-old despots, who
are walking editions of the Declara-
ton of independence and who have no
respect, no reverence, for anything
human or divine. The normal"
American boy is "a cute, smart, nerv-
Gus business manikin."
Even savages, Mr.. Mosely asserts,
command greater respect from their
offspring than do American fathers
and mothers. He attributes these con-
ditions of juvenile precocity to defi-
cheney of nurseries and children's play
rooms in American homes and to
too early association of the interests
of parent and child.
From appearances this "distin-
tinguished British educator and eco
nomist" has met with the smart AM
erican boy of four" and has formed
an unfavorable opinion of him. Pos
sibly he has bumped up against the
Katzenjammer twins. If he has his
remarks are to be pardoned.

died
In the bright Indian summer of his
fame.
A simple stone, with but a date and

Marks his secluded resting place be-

The river that he loved and glorifled.
Here in the autumn of his days he
came. 3SN
But the dry leaves of life were all
flame
With tints that frightened and were
multiplied
How sweet a life was his; how sweet
a death!
Living, to wing with mirth the dreary
hours,
Or with romantic tales the heart to
cheer;
Dying. to leave a memory like breath
OF summers fall of sunshine and of
showers,
A grief and gladness in the atmos-
phere.

CHOOSING THE VACATION.

Father wants to have 1t spent
In Natures loveliness,
Where the fish in streamlets hide
The fishermen to bless;
Where, above all other things,
He does not need to dress.
Mother wants to have 1t spent
With change of more than air;
Wants a room to hold her trunk,
For this is all her care;
Where, above all other things,
Her new clothes she may wear.
Sister wants to have 1t spent
Quite needless Of the view;
All she wants is proper hooks
Constructed just for two;
Where, above all else, is pressed
The old suit ever new.
