HANKERING FOR TROUBLE

Advices from Honolulu impart an
impression that the United States
District Attorney for Hawaii is not
only hankering for trouble. but is in
a fair way of acquiring ii in large and
varied installments. King ChulaIon-
korn of Siam. accompanied by several
of his 40 wives, is soon to visit the
United States, and on his way across
the Pacific will pause for few days
at Honolulu. That arrangement will
give the district attorney an opportu-
nifty he is said to covet. and it is an
nounced that he will improve it by
arresting the King on charge of
polygamy under the Edmunds act.
which. of course, applies to Hawaii
as well as the United States proper.
Undoubtedly it would be a novel
and picturesque thing to arrest a
King. So it would be to sit on a keg
of powder and bore a hole through
the slaves with a red-hot poker-but
would it really be worth while? If
the District Attorney wants to annex
la first-class International controversy
for Uncle Sam he is on the right
track, but it does not appear that his
salary contract with the government
calls for any such work.-New York
Mail

ing out for the days work compelled
their wives to eat garlic-a most eff
fective preventive, we cannot doubt.
The Romans attempted to be more
cold-blooded and dignified They
were at least more systematic, for
they divided all kisses into three
kinds; the osculum, the kiss of friend
ship; the basium, the kiss of cere-
many; and the suavium. the kiss of
love. All of which simply implies that
the Romans had three chances TO our
one. The ancients. however. were not
in favor of public display of the bus
mess; spooning was decidedly bad
form. Plutarch says that Cato ex-
PEELED the Senator Manlius for kiss
ing his wife in the daytime and in the
presence of his daughter.
This same Plutarch is our authority
for the statement that Rome founded
the antiquated custom of wives sa-
luting their husbands with kiss The
women, after sailing many seas and
reaching this place. refused to follow
their husbands further, and under the
leadership of Roma-a new woman
burned the ship. Then says the his
torian, Roma invented this pleasant
method of appeasing the wrath OF
the husbands; and the remedy has
been used with considerable efficacy
until comparatively recent years.

THE BILLET DOUX.

An actor named Smith for the pur-
pose Of this story, went to his club
one day and found a letter for an
other actor of the same name. The
letter was from a tailor and read as
follows: Dear sir: Your account is
now IS months overdue, and unless
you pay at once we shall put it in the
hands of our attorney for collection -
The first Smith knew the letter was
not for him and he put it in another
envelope, addressed it to the Smith for
whom it was intended and sat down
to read his own mail.
In a few minutes the other Smith
came along. He took the letter from
the tailor, tore it open and read It,
while leaning against the mantel,
Then, smiling tenderly, he tore it into
little bits and, as he threw the scraps
into the fireplace, said so everybody
in the room could hear him: "Silly
little girl, How she loves muhl"-

patronize that car are able to travel in
comfort even in the summer time.
The car is both cool and clean. Tray
cling in the motor car is not like trav-
cling in an ordinary upholstered day
coach with the seats covered with dust
and cinders gathered during an all
day run.
As proof Of the fact that travelling
on the motor car is pleasant is the
account which the East Oregonian
published yesterday of a social trip
made day before yesterday by 20 la
dies of Hermiston. In the morning
they went to Echo on the motor and
were entertained during the day by
the ladies Of Echo. They returned
home on the evening motor. There
would have been little pleasure in the
jaunt had the ladies been forced to
ride on an ordinary summer day pas
senger train.
1t is safe to say that the motor car
is promoting travel by making trav-
cling comfortable.

HISTORY OF THE KISS.

The further away we journey from
the days Of Eve, the more assiduous-
ly the world seems to have cultivated
the habit Of kissing: in other words
kissing is a mark and test Of civil
ization. Before the coming Of the
white man It apparently was totally
unknown among the Indians of Am
erica and the savages Of Africa and
Australia; but who shall trace its be-
ginning among the peoples of Europe
and Asia? As far as we may go
among these ancient white nations we
shall find no age when this highly un-
hygienic practice was not popular
Indeed. Darwin attempts to trace It
back to the habit our detailed an
cestors had Of grasping prey with
their teeth!
This business Of osculating became
so popular among the the Greeks that
it is said many husbands, before start

1t is now charged that the tenta-
cles Of the copper mining octipus
reach into old Mexico and that there
is deal between President Diaz and
the Guggenheims whereby the latter
in return for favors received from
Daz seek to have the United States
government aid the Mexican czar in
holding down his job. The Guggen-
helms seem to be very influential in
the governing of Alaska, is it not
easily possible that the charges made
by Messrs. Wilson and Turner are
well founded?

SAVE THE ORCHARDS.

Surely it will be well for orchard,
lists in this vicinity to reed the ad-
vice of Superintendent Allen. of the
Hermiston experiment station, and
fight the pear blight or as it is COM
monty called. the fire" blight. This
is an affection that attacks any POM
aceous tree. It is not confined to pear
orchards. Some apple trees in the vi
cinity of Pendleton are already affect
ed If they are not treated promptly
the trouble will spread and within a
few years valuable orchards will be
made worthless.
Now Pendleton does not want to
lose what orchards there are in this
vicinity. At this time the fruit grown
in this section comes far from being
enough to meet the local demand.
This situation is due largely to the fact
that fruit raising has always been
made side issue" by local farmers.
They have paid little if any atten-
ton to scientific horticulture. As a
result the local orchards are not up to
standard and orchardists are not MAX
ing the profits they should. The
growers would be better off and the
community would profit also if diff
ferent course were pursued.

TAFT AS WHIPMASTER.

Aside from trying to drive insur-
gents into line through a policy of
Withholding patronage from congress-
men who dissent from administration
ideas it seems that President Taft is
also using the social club on those
who are in opposition. In the fol-
lowing story it is narrated how Rep.
resentative Francis Burton Harrison
a democratic member from New
York was snubbed by the executive
recently.
In company with Representative
Goldfogle, his colleague, and Kelliher
of Massachusetts,, Mr.. Harrison es-
corted delegation of Jewish rabbis
to the White House TO talk with the
President about using his good offices
IN preventing the massacre of Jews
ia Russia.
After the party had waited some
time, it is said Secretary Norton pri-
vately informed Mr.. Harrison that the
president declined to see him.
There was a general disposition to
connect the affair with Mr.. Harrison's
resolution, introduced in the House
several weeks ago and later with
drawn, calling on the Attorney-Gener-
al for information in regard to his
summary Of the CLAWS charges against
Secretary Ballinger. At the White
House it was said statement would
be given out later.
when reached the White House
with the delegation" said Mr.. Harri-
son. 'I informed Secretary Norton
that we desired to see the President.
The secretary went to the Presidents
private office and returned with the
information that the President could
not see me.
Il then told Mr.. Norton that I had
made an appointment 10 days ago for
the interview, and again Mr.. Norton
conferred with the President.
when he returned he informed me
that the President would see the DEL
egation accompanying me, but would
not see me-"
II this is a sample Of the brand Of
diplomacy used by the Taft admins
tration IT is not surprising that the
republican party has been rent in
twain. Real men resent such tactics
a. this. They are willing to be led,
sometimes, but they object to being
driven.
