helms and Borodinos, the Waterloos
and the Gettysburgs, it was mere
skirmish." and yet it settled great
many important things and settled
them effectually.
In the first place, it settled the fact
that the continental congress had
made no mistake in placing Washing
ton at the head of the patriot forces.
Washington was defeated in the
battle of Long Island but his action
in the midst of what promised to be
an appalling disaster proved him to be
just the man that was needed to COM
mand our armies.
Outnumbered two to one, he was
beaten and cooped up within his in
trenchments on Brooklyn heights, but
the way in which he got out of his
critical situation showed that his
strategy was equal to his patriotism.
OF Washingtons retreat from
Brooklyn heights great historian de-
clared that it 'has always been re-
garded as one of the most brilliant in
cidents in Washington's career, and
it would scarcely be possible to find
a more striking example of vigilance"
Had Washington allowed himself
to be cooped up on Brooklyn heights
he would have been forced to surren-
der. and whatever was lert of the war
would have been a game played with
out queen, rook or bishop.
In getting out of the difficulty with
so much credit Washington thorough
ly established himself in the public
confidence and thus nerved the peo-
pie to stand by him IN the fight that
he was making for their liberties.
In the second place, it was settled
at Long Island that the patriot militia
was no mean match for the veterans
of the king, for. although greatly out
numbered, they fought a good fight
and made it clear to their compatri-
OTIS that, with Washington at their
head, they stood good chance of
winning out in the end.

BACKS OF SHOES.
Look at them.


Are they as carefully brushed and
polished, as Immaculate, as the fronts ?
Observation of this one point in a
trip up and down Riverside avenue
one morning recently revealed a sur
prising state of affairs.
Women whose belts and collars
were the height of neatness appeared
with shoes scuffed in the back, the
heels run down, perhaps even a little
hole in the stocking just above the
shoe.
Often the little seam running up
and down the back was worn or rip
ped.
Frequently the stocking lies in
wrinkles above the low shoe or pump.
Remember that not one bootblack
in a hundred pays any attention to
the back Of the shoe and polish your
own there, if necessary.
And, if you won't believe in the need
for it, look for yourself and see.

The horse, he argued. was too heavily
built, and much too large for a man
Of his size. Whistler, with much We
hemence, urged the man next him to
swap" The man with whom he
wished to exchange horses was Of
muscular build and "pretty generous
size," and his horse light animal.
so it seemed to Whistler that it would
be a most fitting exchange"
"Oh, don't swap, don't you swap,
Mr.. Whistler" cried the dragoon;
yours is a warhorse, sir"
"a warhorse!" exclaimed Whistler.
That settles 1t. l certainly don't
want him."

FOUNDATIONS"

]. P. McManus, editor of the Pilot
Rock Record is out with his vitriolic
pen and accuses the East Oregonian
OF "mendacious fulminations" and
other offenses. The trend of a long
editorial in the last issue of the Rec
ord would indicate McManus does
not approve of the East Oregonian's
opposition to the assembly, scheme. But
let us see, did not McManus himself
once do some Illuminating" II he
was correctly quoted by the Portland
papers he did. At the meeting of re-
publican editors held in Portland CO.
incident with the republican assem-
bly, McManus is said to have made a
fiery speech from which the follow
ing is selection:
'Jeffries could have come back II
he had not been trained by a lot of
old worn out broken down pugilists.
The republican party is trying to come
back but it will never do it If it is
trained by the old time gang. That
Is what it is trying to do. 1 wont be
bound to support any ticket put up by
them. l will support whom 1 please"
Surely that speech was very "ful-
minacious" and the East Oregonian
is at a loss to know how McManus can
chide this paper for doing what he
asserted he would do himself This
paper has refused to support the
ticket put up by the "old time gang"
and is supporting whom it pleases.

For ten year prior to 1906 the Anglo
sicilian Sulphur Company, Limited, OF
London had a monopoly of the sulphur
market and as a middle man. handled
the entire Sicilian product by an arrange
ment with the different mine owners, IN
order to prevent undue competition and
keen up prices ,one
and the London company, which already
had a stock of 10000 tons OF sulphur on
its hands. which could not be disposed OF
because Of American competition, refused
TO renew the arrangement and Wlthdre"
entirely from the trade. The Slcllan pro-
ducers therefore, found themselves at
liberty to sell their sulphur in the open
market at any price they saw mt. but
were without organizations, or agents. or
any other commercial machinery to nam
die the business. The Italian government.
i'm response to the appeals of the Slclllan
producers undertook to save the situation
through the agency of the minister OF IN
dustry and commerce. who arranged with
a hank or trust company. known as the
ConsorziO Obligatorio, to handle the sui
phur, and furnished the necessary funds
from the public treasury.
Having assumed this responsibility, the
government has been unable to unload
it. and has continued to buy sulphur from
the Sicilian producers. until it has about
100000 lire invested in that chemical.
What the future will bring about is I'M
certain. So long as sulphur can be pro-
duced in unlimited quantities by the steam
process in Louisiana at a nominal price,
it will be difficult for the Italian govern
ment to give its product away.
