POWERFUL GAMMA RAYS

The Alpha rays of radum stopped at once by sheet of paper and the Beta rays cannot go through thin sheet of copper tnfoil. But the Gamma rays will penetrate through half-inch steel bar. An interesting experiment is to hold a tube of radum side of a wooden door and place the other side piece of any of several kinds of metal; the metal will at begin to grow luminous or phosphorescent The black light of the Gamma rays has penetrated the door and lighted up the metal. Hold the radium in front of you and the metal at your back; again the illum ination appears. The Gamma rays, that is easily go right through the body tissues.

The Mexican Republic

The difficulties of establishing orderly gov ernment in Mexico according to American standards do not seem be appreciated by theorists who believe that agrarian question is the foremost one; that when the great land holdings divided and distributed among the peons, whose condition has been little better than personal slavery, the seat of the trouble will be removed
 It is true that so long as those great land hold ings are maintained Mexico can never become pros porous, progressive and wholly civilized. We as well state that while is suffering of high fever he be in state of perfect health IL is one thing divide the Mexican lands, provided the legal difficulties in the way of its accomplish ment may be removed and it is another to keep the lands divided.
 For many years in this country have been aiotting public lands in severalty the Indians. Formerly. gave the lands to the Indians and left them to their own devices. The Indians landless and in poverty Spectators in pos session. Later the government adopted means of protecting the Indians against their own folly and the rapacity the spectators with the result that the Indians have been pauperized. The result has been from satisfactory.
 The average Mexican peon is no better prepared for the ownership of land on which he has been slave than the average Indian is for the ownership of the land which his ancestors roamed. If the Mexican lands are divided without provision against their alienation by their owners, they will soon be gathered together again in immense holdings. At any rate they will quickly pass out of the session the peons. If the government should prevent alienation it would establish pauperizing protectorate oyer the peon The immediate problem, therefore in the Mexican agrarian question is not the great land holdings, but the himself and it will take time for it's solution. It in the con temptation this task which had seemed easy from a distance that Madero hestated when he face to face with it. and in this period of hesita- tion that the revolution against him grew.
 Our unpracticed American theorists and reform CTS view Mexican questions with American eyes. To them Mexico is a republic whose constitution has been disregarded whose institutions have been over republics It became despotism immediately the yoke of Spain thrown off, and with breathing spells of anarchy it has despotsm ever since. except for the brief period when it successfully struggling to throw off the yoke of Maximliian
 The people of Mexico have been deprived of no right under their constitution that they ever en- ioyed They are unfitted to discharge the func- tions of sovereigns a republic, functions which thev and their fathers never discharged the land less neons are to become land owners A republic cannot be created by the stroke of pen. If our government expects and desires a republic in Mex ico in any way similar own where constltu- tional rights are guaranteed citizens, it must be prepared to set up republic and guarantee the rights of the citizens under it while the work o evolution and education is going

COCKTAILS AGREES
WITH WILSON ON
EXEMPTION CLAUSE
Should be Repealed Says Engineer,
Placing all Vessels Subject to
Payment of Canal Tolls.
OEFEMSES ARE COMPLETED
Statements That They Are Inadequate
Can Be Denied He Says-No Danger
of slides Closing the Waterway
Engineer Does Not Favor Using
Canal Machinery for Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Presi-
dent Wilson's plan to repeal the ex-
emption clause in the Panama canal
tolls act met with the approval of
Colonel Goethals, who arrived from
New York today.
81 always favored the plan to make
every vessel. whether American or
foreign. pay canal tolls" Goethals
said. II an glad that the president
feels the same way about IT. We
have every expectation OF opening the
canal July l. There is no danger OF
slides closing the waterway, though
biologists say minor slides may be
expected when the water rises to Its
full level in the cut. The defenses OF,
the canal are completed. Statements
that the project will be inadequately
protected can be denied"
Goethals said he expected to remain
in the United States several months,
spending most of his time visiting hts
son. 1t is understood Goethals will
ask an appropriation OF twenty-three
and a half million dollars TO complete
the canal, which is seven and a half
million dollars more than the appro-
priation as fixed at present, though
he expects to save about five million
by reduction in the construction
force.
Goethals admitted he Is trying to
work out the problem OF disposing OF
the canal machinery. He opposed the
plan to transfer it to Alaska for use
in the construction of a government
railroad there, asserting that new
equipment could be purchased cheap
er than the cost of transporting the
canal machinery to Alaska.

NEUTRAL ZONE WILL Be

non-combatants of Torreon and vicin-

ton, was assured when General Villa
agreed to the plan.
General Huerta already had been
approached on the subject through
the American embassy at Mexico City,
and readily assented with the stipu-
lation that binding assurances that
the zone would be respected be OBJ
tanned from the constitutionalists.
The neutral zone idea originated

suit Of expressions OF apprehension
from several foreign embassies and

2 YEAR OLD GIRL BADLY
BURNED WHILE At PLAY
CHILD WAS PLAYING NEAR VES-
Sell OF HOT SOAP WHEN
SHE FALLS INTO 1T.

While playing near vessel of hot
soap, little two year old Anne Kahn,
daughter Of Finn couple who live
northwest of the city, fell into the
boiling liquid and frightfully burned
her left arm and side, SO severely
in fact that amputation and skin
grating may be necessary.
The accident occurred on Wednes-
day afternoon at the Fred Searcey
ranch about ten miles from this city.
The mother of the child works for
Richard Lorilla who Is farming the
place and was making soap at the
time. DR. I. u. Temple was summon
ed and dressed the injuries Wednes-
day night.
The mother brought the child to
Pendleton today for second dressing
and it was not until the bandages
were removed just before noon that
the real seriousness of the burns be-
came apparent. From the ends OF
the fingers to the shoulder and from
the armpit down six inches on the
side of the infant, the flesh is terribly
scared The fingers are in the worst
condition, there having been but lit
tie flesh on them to offer resistance
to the heat. DR.. Temple fears that
flesh may slough off and make am
putation necessary. 1t will be few
days yet before he can determine
just what course will be necessary.
The most remarkable feature of the
accident was that the little child did
not cry once, and this morning dur
ing the dressing of the injuries, II
only whimpered very little.

From this general statement. step by

Christ: yet none had disproven that
he had claimed about himself and
work. namely that he was Gods son.
and the Divine Savior of the world,
and was worthy to the anchor of ev-
cry soul. From the beginning OF
Christ's ministry men had differed as
to who he was. Some thought him
to be only the reincarnation OF some
OF the old prophets. though the apos-
ties declared him to be Gods son
and worthy to anchor to. Tradition
had set forth a different Christ. NJ

AMENDED COMPLAINT FILED
N ROLLER MILLS CASE

The words "wilfully'' and know
ingly," inserted in an amended COM
piaint filed today, may yet bring the
damage suit in which George w. Rig
gle is plaintiff and l.. c. Lens, owner
OF the Pendleton Roller Mills, defend
ant, to trial. The amended COM
plant reuslts from the sustaining OF
the defendants demurrer a few days
ago by Judge Phelps.
The new complaint differs very lit
tie from the wording of the original
save that the defendant Is charged
with knowing that the open mill race
was an attractive nuisance and that
there was a danger OF children fall
ing into it and being drowned, and
that he "wilfully" as we'll as care
lessly, negligently and wantonly,"
permitted children to play along the
banks without any objection. Upon
this wording. Attorney VIII NJ. Peter
son for the plaintiff relies as a cause
for action. The suit is for $500 dam
ages for the drowning of little Paul
Riggle on November 13, 1918.
The paragraph in which the prin-
cipal change OF wording occurs reads
as follows:
That 1t was the duty of the defend
ant 70 have the said Byers Mill Race
securely guarded and protected so
that children of tender years resort
ing to 1t as a place of play and am
usement would not be injured; but
the said defendant, entirely disregard
ing his duty in that behalf knowing
ly. carelessly, negligently, wantonly
and wilfully permitted the said Byers'
mill race at all times to remain un-
closed, unguarded. and entirely un-
protected in any way, and he well
knew that all times that children OF
tender years were attracted to It and
resorted there as n place Of amuse-
ment and play. and that they were
likely, at any time, to fall into It and
he drowned.
