days program:
/. Wages of War" A Vitagraph
military drama. Love, war and
delicate romance between a northern
cavalryman and a southern beauty
is the tale this exciting war drama
unfolds. 1t is replete with pathos OF
"love deferred" the cantering or
troupes in marshal uniform, sisters
sacrifice for the one beloved and the
grand triumphal climax. See this
picture and go away pleased with
life's compensations.
2. "Don Ramon's Daughter" Ka-
lem. Manetta, daughter of Don Ra-
mon De Savillo, wealthy Spaniard,
is in love with Carlos, poor trouba-
dour. Declining to give up her
sweetheart she is driven from home.
Three lears later after her husbands
death. Manettas baby Carlotta. is
adopted by Donna Loretta. After a
| lapse of sixteen years we find Donna
Loretta's son. Francisco is in love
with his adopted sister. Don Ramon
writes to his old friend Don Jose. the
father of Francisco, saying he will
call at his house in a few days. There
he meets his grandchild, in whom he
sees the likeness of his dead daugh-
ter. Explanations take place and

| count of his treatment of her mother.
A few days later Don Ramon saves
her from a band of Yaqui Indians

from the orphan girl A romantic
production of powerful heart interest.
3. "The Crucial Test" The title of
this film is the name under which
the Edison company have so ably
adapted Richard Tarding Davis story
THE Derelict" for motion picture
purposes and have so wonderfully
| portrayed the nom famous battle of
Santiago Harbor and destruction of
| the Spanish fleet on that memorable
! Sunday morning of July 3. Just how
Claiming, a derelict reporter strand
| ed in Cuba, succeeded in witnessing
this naval engagement and how he
wrote up the story and flashed the
news to a certain daily in New York
| before any other papers had received
| it, is the main theme around which
this interesting and exciting pictures
| is laid. 1t was taken by the Edison
company while on their southern
| trip and thus has an added charm
as the scenes are all taken with the
natural environments in which Da-
Wis story is related.

PRESENT CAUSED TROUBLE.
Little Dutch Girl Thanks Queen Will
hclmina for Gift She Didn't Get.

The Hague An interesting story
Of queen Wilhelmina is going the
rounds. The queen is very fond of
walking in out-Of-the-way places near
her capital, and during a recent stroll
encountered little girl in whom she
subsequently interested herself. The
child conceived the idea Of showing
her gratitude in a tangible fashion.
She thought the queen would be
pleased 10 receive a little present
from her and after considerable med
itation sent a pair of gloves to the
palace.
queen Wilhelmina was much
touched and promptly returned the
compliment by sending another pair
Of gloves TO her young. By way Of
adding interest 10 the present Her
Majesty filled the right one with bon
bons and placed pieces Of money in
the left. Accompanying the present
was a letter in which the queen ask
ed the little girl to inform her which
glove gave her most pleasure.
The simple reply came as a surprise
10 her majesty:
Dear Queen" wrote the little girl,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-10-11

your beautiful present has only
caused me trouble. l cannot tell you
which of the gloves has given me the
most pleasure. for my father took the
left glove and by Oldest sister the
right one.''
That same evening Queen Wilhel-
nina sent another pair of gloves
similarly filled to her young protege.
Her majesty took care that the pres
ent was delivered by a court func-
tionary who saw to it that the gloves
reached the little person for whom
they were intended.

HOW TO TREAT
OLD SORES

The proper way-the only sue.
cessful way-to to treat an old sore
is to destroy its source. Not by
dangerous surgical operations or
irritating, "draving" plasters, but
by Natures true method of purify
Ing the blood and filling the circu-
laiion with rich, nourishing proper
ties; then the cure will be natural
and lasting. We can easily UNDER
stand how impurities in the blood
luill infect some weak point on our
bodies, and by continually dis
charging impurities into it keep the
place open and inaamed until a
chronic ulcer is formed. Nothing
then is so sure to produce a cure
of these old sores as S. SIS. This
medicine is Natures perfect blood
remedy, composed of the most heal
ing and at the same time the most
penetrating and od-puri6ing
properties. 1t remoues eUery par
ticle of impurity or morbid matter
from the circulation, and assists
nature in the increasing of healthful,
nutritious corpuscles in the blood.
S. S. S. makes pure blood, and pure
blood is Natures unfailing cure for
old sores. Every sufferer with an old
sore should use S. S. S., because it
is the remedy they most need. Book

sprayed apples so othat they will be
unfit for storage.
1.-The bulk of the space in eastern
storage houses has not been contract
ed for, and very few apples have
gone into storage yet. The amount
of storage space still available is a
good indication of the amount of fruit
that will be harvested, and it will cer-
tainly pay a good profit to hold all
apples that are in any way of good
quality"
Heads of commission houses in east
ern and middle western cities have
been sending out statements during
the last 50 days, urging the growers
to sell their apples, intimating that
the crop of 1911 would be the largest
in 8 years; but reports to the Fruit
Grower show that the crop will not
even equal the 1911 yield

The town of Claflin certainly
had a close call last week, when
they had their fire. To look at
the row of wooden buildings on
the east side of Main street one
could hardly believe that a buck
ct brigade could have stopped
the march Of the flames.
AS We came through the city
of HOisingtOn one day this week
we were impressed with the work
being done by that city on their
city park. Water has been pip
ed in, trees set out, grass sOwn,
and in a short time they will hav'
a beautiful little park.

Sherman to the committee OF
privileges and elections.
This is the committee that
whitewashed LOrimer, and as con.
Stituted at present is dominated
absolutely by Tory senator's.
Inasmuch as the resolution in
the last Congress was referred to
and acted upon by the Judiciary
committee, the senate was amaz--
ed at Sherman'S action. Culber-
son of Texas moved a reconsider
alton of the action and the resO--
luton will probably be turned
over to the Judiciary committee
after all. The incident is i'm
preSsive, however, as revealing
how determined the opponents of
popular government are to de-
feat the will Of the people. Jug
glery of a character similar to
Sherman is being used in the
secret conferences of reactionaries
in a determined effort to pack all
the senate committees against pro
greSsive legislation.
Step by step, the committee on
patronage, consisting of Hon.
James T. Lloyd of Missouri, Hon.
Martin D. Foster of Illinois and
Hon. Benz. G. Humphreys of Miss
issippi, is working out the DIFF
ficult problem of appOrtioning
the various positions inherited by
the Democrats along with the con
ttrol of the House of Representa-
tives. That everyone should re-
ceive the exact position he pre-
ferred was obviously impossible.
But the committee considered full.
ly the claims of the applicants,
with the result that the House
membership in general is pleased
with the results.
One Of the next steps in the
Democratic program will be to
reduce the heavy tax on wOllen
goods. If this can be accomplish
ed as planned by the Democrats

cause Of political dishonesty and
corruption.
Vice President Sherman makes
an ideal presiding officer Of the
Senate from the viewpoint of the
Old Guard. He knows how to
sidetrack progressive legislation,
and his heart is in the work.

senator's, passed in the House by
vote of 296 to 16, was present

Washington Letter.

By Clyde II. Tavenner.

oOhAHaSSOh, - pm 80 49,
day the present Congress was
called to order 1.-THE writer happen
ed to be seated beside II. B. Mar
tin, secretary of the American
Antitrust league. Just after
Speaker Champ Clark had con-
cluded his nOw-famOus opening
address, Mr.. Martin turned to
me and said:
:"'There is a deeper meaning to
this occasion than most of the
Spectators are aware. 1t am not
speaking from a partisan view
point. What l allude to is that
this is the first time in forty
years the. first. time since the
trust problem has been acute in
this country, that there is a real
out and out antitrust majority in
the Hose of Representatives"
Mr.. MARTYR. was well qualified
TO give an estimate of the body
Of men before him.. For fourteen
years he had labored among the
j., old omembers of Congress- and
we'll knew how each of them
stood on the trust question. Then
he had closely examined the rec
ords of the new members of the
House, and had interviews with
them. That the antitrust league
secretary was right in saying
that the new House had a ma
jOfity of men free from DONNA
ton by special privilege has been
demonstrated by the character
of legislation already passed.
The fact that a majority of
2 the members stand for the pas
sage of the reciprocity measure
and the farmers's free list bill is
the best evidence that the House
is no longer controlled by the
tariff trusts.
Lumber, for instance, would not
60 on the free list if Big Busi--
ness was still in control. Hereto
fore the lumber interestS-the
same interests and individuals
that are alleged to have elected
q and retained LOrimer in the San
ate-have been able to prevent
lumber from going on the free
list.
The fact THAT wire fencing and
s,Other steel manufacturers are
D. placed upon the free list, and that
a sweeping investigation will soon
be begun under the Stanley res
aOlutiOn is positive assurance that
the steel barOns are no longer
able to dictate the kind of legis-
alatiOn that the House shall or
shall not enact.
1t is evident that the nipple
ment combine has lost it's grip on
the House, because agricultural
implements, including plOws, har-
rows, reaperS, binders and now
. ers, appear on the farmers free
list.
Nor is the beef trust still in
command. If it was dressed meat
would continue to be taxed, in
stead of going on the free list, as
0 the Democratic program provides
In the past the lumber trust,
steel trust. implement trust and
beef trust have had easy sailing.
They have contributed generously
to republican campaign, funds,

demanded and received at the

GIVES PLAN TO
DEFEAT WILSON
Correspondent Of an Oregon
Paper Uncovers Plot.

Washington, May 24.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Portland
(Ore) Journal sends his paper the fol-
lowing!
1.-THE old Democratic machine, which
woodrow Wilson as governor smashed
into smithereens during the meeting
of the New Jersey Legislature, plans to
prevent if possible the election of a
delegation to the national convention
next veal that will support Wilson for
the presidency. The machine ts head
ed by James r. Nugent, state chair
man, working In sympathy with for
mer United States Senator James
Smith, Jr., who was defeated when
he essayed to obtain the senatorship
last winter from James MARITIME, the
primary choice.
"1This news has reached Washington
from reliable sources and creates deep
interest. The political 6gurers, how
ever, reason this way:
ITO defeat Woodrow Wilson's
friends In their desire to send a ma
tional delegation for him for president
would spell political death for those
who engineered such a scheme. Be
sides pride in his remarkable achieve
ment as governor in getting good laws
adopted and in beating the old ma
chine on the senatorial issue is the ele-
ment Of state pride, always potent In
aid of him who seeks his home dele-
CATION as a bona ide candidate for
high office.
1.-THE lesser politicians of New Jer-
sey will know this. They will figure
that if they obey the behest Of the old
machine and seek to prevent a Wilson
delegation they will go out of the po-
litical business then and there. That
they do not want to do; hence the
leaders of the old machine will find
their erstwhile followers among the
smaller politicians shying away from
such a program. 1t does not look like
a fortunately laid plan-to prevent
hat Wilson delegation from New Jer-
sey In 1912. 1t will not be successful.
washington politicians profess in
credulity that it would be possible to
take New Jerseys delegation away
from the friends of Woodrow Wilson
in 1912. They reason that Wilson
would sweep the state and that any
n who got in front of the boom
would be swept away into political OBJ
livion.'

GREAT LIBRARY NOW OPEN.
New York's New Show Place Dedicated
by President Taft.

by President Taft.
New York, May 24-The new public
library with its million books is now
open to the public. The great marble
building at Fifth avenue and Forty
second street, where the Astor, Lenox,
Tilden and city collections are now
housed, was dedicated by President
Taft, Governor Dix, Mayor Gaynor
and n company of distinguished
guests. 1t has cost the city 100000 0
to transform the old Croton reservoir
into a palace for readers. 1t has been
fourteen years since the legislature
passed an act providing for the build
ing. 1t took eight years and seven
months to complete the library build
ing after the cornerstone was laid. AS
it stands, the library represents the
most modern and scientific methods
of arranging volumes and accommo-
dating not only the general reader, but
the student in special research. And
any "unobjectionable person." as the
regulations say, may take advantage
of these riches without cost.
President Taft came from Washing
ton, accompanied by Attorney General
Wickersham, Senator Bacon, Major
Butt and Charles d. Hilles, the presi-
dents secretary. They were met at
the Pennsylvania station by Henry w.
Taft and a committee Of the library's
directors and escorted to the new
building.
