today the latest puzzle in the letter

Austrian Ambassador Dumba's recall
Five treasury officials came from
Washington to New York to ask
Archibald regarding the cane, he ad-
mitted today. He said he never had
one.
Persistent declarations have been
made in the inVesti cation of the case
of the correspondent who carried the
letters from the Austrian ambassador
that Archibald carried the most i'm
portant documents in a hollow cane.
The cane was said 20 be weighted so
it would readily sink. 1t is also inti-

been found, German Ambassa dor
Bernstorff would have been impli-
Gated.
Archibald also carried letters and

were confiscataed in England, al

HEAVY TAX TO RAISE DEFICIT

London, Sept. 21.-Reginald Nc
Kenna, chancellor of the exchequer,
in his budget speech today estimated
that the government revenue for the
current year would be 1912, 100000
(s1,36O, 900, ,00O); that the expendi-
ture would reach f1,590,0OO,000 (S7,-
50,OOO,O0O), and that the dead
weight of debt at the close of the
financial year would be $4,000, 100000
($11, 1,OOO,O00,00O)
Mr.. Mckenna proposed an addition
of 40 per cent to the existing income
tax and the taxation of all incomes of
f130 ($630) or more. The present
minimum is f160.
The chancellor also proposed an in
crease in the duty on sugar to 9s. 4d.
($2.24) per hundred weight.
A heavy tax on the profits of manu-
facturers of war supplies also was
proposed by the chancellor. Fifty per
cent of all war profits above the
amount assessed for the income tax
last year will be subject to a special
tax which works out at so per cent
of the profit. McKenna estimated the
revenue from this source in a full
year at f3O,0O0,OOO ($15O, 10000

a WAR POEM BY THOMAS HARDY


Thomas Hardy, the famous Ameri.
can author, recently naturalized is an
Englishman has written a beautifl,
poem in memory of one of his young
friends, who went to the front some
where in Flanders" leaving his moth
er to wait for him at home, and then
died fighting the foe The poem,
which has just been printed in the
Fortnightly Review in London, is Civ
en- below:
BEFORE MARCHING AND AFTER
(ln Memoriam, F. W. G.)
Orion swung southwark aslant
Where the stared Egdon pine-trees
had thinned,
The Pleads aloft seemed to pans
With the heather that twitched in
the wind;
But he looked on Indifferent to sights
such as these,
Cnswayed by love, friendship, home
JOY or home sorrow.
And wondered to what he would
march on the morrow.
-
The crazed household clock with its
whirr
Rang midnight within as he stood,
He heard the low signing of her
Who had striven from his birth for
his good;
But he still only asked the spring
starlight the breeze,
What great thing or small thing his
history would borrow
From that Game with Death he woulC
play on the morrow.
When the heath wore the robe of
late summer,
And the fuchsia- bells, hot in the
sun,
Hung red by the door, a quick
conner
Brought tdings that marching was
done
For him who had joined in that
game overseas
Where Death stood to win; though
his memory would borrow
A brightness therefrom not to die on
the morrow.

s-Ass-S-Sa
THEY ARE NOT ALL ALIKE

NOT for a moment should
III people have the idea that
- the present municipal
campaign is a wet" and dry
fight. That subject is not at
issue now. The question is,
shall the will of the people as
expressed one year ago be re-
spected or shall bootlegger
government be established and
sanctioned in Pendleton.
Nor should people be misled
into believing that when the
East Oregonian denounces
bootleggers and organized vice
it means to class under that
head all salOonmen or ex-sa-
loonmen. Not for one moment
is such intended by this paper.
There are some saloonmen and
some ex-saloonmen who do not
countenance bOotlegging at all.
For those men this paper has
no criticism to make and enter
tains respect for their pur-
poses.
Such men as that and their
sympathiZers belong under the
Montgomery banner, not with
the other crowd. The Mont
gomery campaign is in opposi-
ton to the lawless and vicious
element of saloOnmen. 1t is
in opposition to men who open
ly violated the law before and
are preparing to do SO again
if they get the chance. 1t is in
opposition to booze peddlers
who train with the white slav-
er and the bawdy house mag
nate. 1t is the class that has
brought the liquor business in
to such disrepute. 1t is a dis
reputable outfit and it would
be a public disaster for Pendle-
ton to fall under their control.
But it is not fair or truthful to
associate with that element all
who may have had some con.
nection with the liquor bust
ness. Nor is it fair to assume
that all who have espoused the
candidacy of DR.. Best are un-
worthy people. Some good
men and women have been sup
porting him, but they are mis-.
guided and they would not
support him if they knew the
true conditions.
