East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-08-27

Portland, Oregon, August 26.-
Francis j. Heney went to Seattle
this morning after spending two days
in Portland. Before leaving, Mr.. He
ney reiterated his conviction that he
will win the district attorneyship Of
San Francisco. 1T is the enlarged
opportunity TO press the great prose-
cution, not the honor, that l desire"
he said. THAT campaign will be the
big thing in my plans after have re-
turned to San Francisco.
Il believe We are on the high road
to success" he concluded, hurrying
to catch the bus that was just ready
to start to the depot.
Mr.. Heney conferred with United
States District Attorney John Nc
Court yesterday evening on matters
relating to the prosecution of Oregon's
land fraud cases. Mr.. McCourt said
this morning:
"The conference between Mr.. He
ney and myself led TO no new devel-
opments or plans. He is thoroughly of
the opinion that l gave expression to
some time ago, that the land fraud
cases, where the evidence warrants
conviction, should be prosecuted to
the end, but that others, where the
evidence is vague and uncertain, and
where the purpose of justice would
not be served by prosecution, should
be finally dismissed, and the shadow
Of suspicion and guilt lifted from
the men under indictment, whose only
crime was an error in judgment"
By the frequent references made
by both Mr.. Heney and Mr.. McCourt
to the policy Of the attorney general
and their willingness to be governed
by whatever plan he may formulate,
it is evident that both put the prose-
cution of the remaining land fraud
cases up to him. If he says prose-
cute, it will be undertaken in rea.
earnest. and the Hermann case will
head the list. But If the attorney gen.
eral shows Indifference or intimates
that no particularly beneficial results
will attend such a prosecution, 1t Is
very possible that the final chapter
of the crooked land deals in Oregon
is far from being ready to write.

Bethlehem, n. H., Aug 27.-Thid
beaudiful cidy OBJ B edlehem, Dew
Hampshire, is likely to be wiped off
the may by the cyclone of wind, ac
companied by a driving mist, which
bore down upon the town with the
arrival today of the delegates to the
thirty-sixth annual sneezefest of the
United States Hay Fever association.
The first session of the convention
was held today, and the concerted
sneezeing of the assembled visitors at
times reached such a pitch as to re-
semble distant thunder. Many citi-
zens who did not know of the inva-
sion Of the sneezers were greatly
alarmed, thinking the commotion was
due to an earthquake. The meeting
will continue several days, and a spe-
cial train bearing handkerchiefs hao
been ordered here Immediately to
supply the sudden demand.
Samuel A. Harlow of Grafton,
Mass. is the president, or main
sneeze, Of the society, and William NJ.
Patterson. of New York, the secre-
tary. The membership covers the en-
tire United States and Canada.
Many important matters are to be
disposed Of at the convention. Last
years proceedings ended in an un-
satisfactory manner. While the
secretary was presenting his report
he sneezed and blew all the minutes
of the meeting on the floor. Before
he could recover them all the dele
gates were sneezing and the records
of the convention were waited into
another county.
Secretary Patterson says that one or
the most important contests this year
will be over the selection Of a floral
emblem. Many of the delegates favor
the water lily, while many others are
partial to the onion. Prizes will be
offered for the best sneezes in the diff
ferent classes. There will be $50 in
gold for the man who can send his
silk hat the highest on the first blow,
and box Of silk handkerchiefs for
the man who can break his shoestrings
with one sneeze. Powder puffs will
be awarded to the women members
who show the greatest proficiency.

Threw Pig at Wife.

IF Of all the things including stove
lids and Bibles, that wives have
thrown at husbands and husbands at
wives, in their playful disagreements
you cannot help agreeing that no
living human being ever yet heard
of a man hurting pig at his better
eleven-tenths; but we have here to
relate that Mrs. Edith Sweetland
'trancing name-in suing for di-
vorce from her welded husband at
Flint, Mich, deposeth and sayeth
that during one of their many alter
cations, while she and her husband
were in the barnyard, he picked up
a live piggy and slung it at her with
such force that the squeler was kill
ed. She lodged it, or it might have
lived. Whereupon the court deem
ed it just to grant the lady's prayer
for separation from her pig pitching
husband and gave her $500 alimony
besides. This should be a solemn
warning to all husbands not to throw
pigs at their wives, for it is entirely
too expensive. Not many plain citi-
zens could afford to do it at $500 9
pig. -LeXington Dispatch.

PEACE, TOO, is COSTLY.
Military Expense Of United States Close
to Those of Germany.

The army appropriation bill, which
passed the Senate Friday, provides
for an expenditure of sos, OOO,O 900
for the next fiscal year. The navy
bill appropriates s137, 100000. The
total is s24o, 100000, which is within a
few millions Of the military and nav
al estimates Of the German Empire
for the year ended March 31st, 1908.
Germany is a great military empire.
We are a republic at peace, profess
sing and maintaining a policy OF
peace. The total enlisted strength
of our army is 1900, staff and line.
The peace strength of the German
army includes about Ga 900 COM
batants of all ranks. Evidently a
mark in Germany goes further than
dollar in the United States in pro
viding for the maintenance Of land
forces. We are not aware that the
American people complain particu-
larly of the cost Of their army and
navy. 1t is a fair subject for inquiry,
however, whether, with the example
of Germany before us, ways OF re-
ducing expenditure without reduc-
ing effective force might be dlscoV-
cred.
But even in a time of peace we are
paying tremendous bill of costs for
past wars. The pension bill, as 1t
passed the Senate, appropriates Sl62-
100000. Pensions, army and navy
will use up 100000, 900 of the tax
payers money in the fiscal year end
ing June Goth, 1910. Our expendi
lures for pensions since 1864 reach
the prodigious total of So, 691 ,230, GA

Character.

Character is greater and higher
than money, intellect, or love, be-
cause it determines the use and d.
rection of these three. 1t is the
character of the rich man which de-
termines whether he shall be a bene-
factor or curse to society. 1t is
character which determines whether
the learned man shall use his knowl-
edge as a destructive or as a con-
structive force in society. 1t is
character which determines whether
love shall be passion working havoc
in human life or a grace beautifylng
and ennobling life. Character is the
determining force behind money, IN
tellect, love, and SO it is the greatest
force in human life. Realizing this
all will appreciate the necessity Of
careful thought and thoughtful care
in building character. = Grea

The COST OF PENSIONS.
Increase in Amount Last Year Though
Veterans are Fewer.

Dur;nn the 60th Congress o,o9'
snecial pension acts were passed ny
Congress-. according to statement
lust compiled by Senator McCumoer'
chairman of the Senate committee
on pensions. While many OF these
acts were to increase pensions al
ready received by veterans, the re-
s1lt Of the legislation has been to IN
crease the annual payments by about
100000.
Since 1861 there have been grant
ed by special acts 26,324 original
pensions, all Of which have an an
nual face value of about So. 2o0,Ooo.
AS many of these pensioners were
formerly on the rolls at lower rate
this figure does not represent the
total increase of the pension rolls on
account of special legislation.
Since the close of the civil war in
1865 there has been paid in pensions
the sum Of 1864. 653. 1865, and the
cost of maintaining pension agencies
and administration of the pension
bureau has been SIP, S72, ATT. In
1902 there were 999,446 pensioners
on the roll at an expense Of Sl37,-
/ 5O4, 267. Since that time the num-
Der Of pensioners has decreased to
951 ,687, but owing to the passage OF
the McCumber age law and the Sui.
loway widows law, the appropria
tons to pay pensions increased tt
! s153, O93, O62 for the last year. 1t i
