While Bryan thus shows the
mettle of his Americanism
where are the tory -jingo news
papers that howled so long and
so loudly for war with Mexi-
co? Almost as one they are
trying to undermine the presi-
dent and make political capital
against him because the nation
is facing a war under his ad-
ministration. The fact they
were persistent and energetic
in producing this war makes
no difference to them.
The Bryan position is a
manly one, justifying the con-
fidence millions of people have
long felt toward him. The at
titude of the jingo-tory press
shows that at all times their
criticism of Wilson has been
prompted by petty partisan
ship, not by sincerity or patrio-
tlsm.

~ ECAUSE of his isolation
u on the supreme bench
there is but little known
as to the record of Justice
Hughes. However, since his
nomination it has been recall
ed that during the time he was
governor Of New York he sent
a special message to the legis-
lature of his state urging
against the ratification Of the
income tax amendment to the
constitution of the United
States. The statement made
at that time by Hughes was
widely circulated throughout
the union and used in various
attempts to keep legislatures
from ratifying the amendment.
However, As states eventually
ratified the amendment and
but three followed the Hughes
advice, to-wit: Utah, Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
1t so happens the income tax
is the most justifiable tax there
Dis because it falls upon people
in direct proportion to their
ability to pay. The fact the
republican presidential candi-
date was against this progress
siye measure will not set well
with those seeking greater eco
nomic justice but it may eX-
plain in part how he came to
be nominated. The defeat"
If the old guard was wonder
ful affair indeed.

In his many years before the public
enjoying a popularity second to none
Mr.. Beauchamp has come to be
known as the Dean Of the Chautauqua
platform. At a convention of the In
ternational Lyceum association he was
unanimously acclaimed honorary
president of that great body for life.
His career is an eloquent vindication
of his teachings-Ieft an orphan, he
spent his early years among the
Creek, Choctaw and Cherokee indians
He draws many illustrations from tri-
bal customs Denied school and col
lege privileges, he was taught his let
ters by young girl OF precocious
bent, he was at fourteen contributing
prose and poetry to New York papers,
at twenty he became the editor of a
noted Cincinnati daily newspaper. Mr..
Beauchamp has written books that
have been translated into foreign
tongues, and his stories and poems Of
child life are to be found in many col
lections of poetry, the repertoires OF
readers and scrap-books all over the
country. Travelling over a million
miles in the old world and the new,
investigating every strata of life and
from a humanitarian standpoint, Mr..
Beauchamp has woven his experience
into his world famous lecture, Mis-
takes 1t is an originally incompar-
able philosophy of life To hear him
is one of the memorable events Of a
life time.
Positively irresistible and ridicu-
lously funny, Lou Beauchamp uses
his humor to wrap packages that go
home to everyone.
Alexander Skibinsky, celebrated
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-06-29

Russian vlolinist, Mary Welch,
Chicago contralto of wide reputation
and Alice Baker, pianist of almost
equal prominence in musical circles,
arrived this morning to render the
Skiginsky Welch concert this after
noon and evening Mr.. Skibinskys
numbers are largely his own compost
will be his own arrangements for vio-
lin of Lavallees piano composition,
Butterfly" This is recognized as
one of the most difficult violin num-
bers ever written another splendid
number is his own composition "Hu-
moresque."
The story of Alexander Won Shbin-
sky, the young Russian yiolinist, who
will give two concerts at chautauqua
today, is one which brings out the in
domitable spirit and determination OF
the young concertmeister.
Skibinsky formerly resided in Mos.
COW and was helping celebrate one Of
the Russian national holidays The
premature explosion or a giant fire
cracker shattered his left hand the
hand he used in lingering his famous
Stradiyarius violin. The first finger
was taken off entirely and two others
were almost paralyzed. But young
Skibinsky refused to lake the rebuff
as defeat, he ordered a wooden finger
made for the one he iost After years
of tedious practice he again mastered
the rudiments of lingering His mu-
sic seemed greater than ever.
The newspapers had spread the re-
port throughout Russia that Skibin-
sky would never appear before the
music lovers of the empire again
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-06-29

When Skibinsky did appear in con-
cert the surprised and pleased hearers
received him with great ovations. ski
binsky was in greater favor than ever
before.
During the war in Europe, Skibin.
sky came to America and has appear
ed in concert in over thirty eastern
cities.

should be enlarged. The ans
wer is that the Monmouth nor
NAL is already too large for its
town. There are but $50
grade pupils in Monmouth and
they do not provide enough
pupils for the training work
now carried on. Because of
this dearth of pupils the nor
NAL students get almost no
training experience. Under the
circumstances it would be sill
ly to enlarge the Monmouth
normal, The logical thing is to
establish an eastern Oregon
normal in a town with suffici-
ent grade pupils to answer the
needs of the institution. To
run a normal school without
grade pupils for a training de-
partment would be equivalent
to learning how to drive horses
by reading a book. 1t cannot
be done.
~-S-~-S-eOSS~SN
Carping critics of the presi-
dent say his failure to use
deeds instead of words" in
Mexico is the cause of the pres
ent trouble. In other words if
we had gone to war a long
time ago we would not have to
go to war now. 1t is wonderful
dope and shows the poverty Of
argument prevailing in the an
administration camp.
~~ss~O~-.-~s~
Practically every educator
in the state, large or small, is
a booster for the Pendleton
normal measure because it is a
Just and timely move.
~SSS~O$SSS-S
The tories now assail Wilson
because they think the coun-
try faces war; if we should
avoid war they would roast
the president for that fact.
~eS~NO~NSse
The national guard should
be kept federalized all the
time; a reserve army that has
to be made over when needed
is a nuisance.

THE WAR SHOWS THEM UP

~ OR many months an ele-
ment of the American
~ press has been berating
Bryan because of his peace
views. "Pacifist." "peace-at-
any price, "piffler' and mol
lycoddle" are among the mild
CT terms applied to him.
But with war at hand where
is Mr.. Bryan? He is thorough
ly upholding the president. He
has declined to join with Da-
vid Starr Jordan and others in
final peace effort at Ell Paso.
Bryan's view is that the presi.
dent should have clear sailing
with Mexican affairs.
