say the least. In convention
the proEresSiveS were extreme
ly loyal to the colonel. They
renominated him for president
and were ready to fight once
more for the principles for
which they went into revolt
four years ago.
But the colonel would not
fight though he had every rea-
son to do so. The republican
managers this year are the
same as those who controlled
affairs in 1912. The platform
is not materially different. If
the republican party was not
good in 1912, it is not good
now.
Either Roosevelt played
horse" with the progresSiveS in
1912 or he is doing so now. In
either case his hold on the pro-
gressiveS can no longer be ef-
fective. His intimation that
the progressive party, not he,
deserted" won't improve the
situation for him.

A STUBBORN OLD FELLOW

m NE of the odd incidents in
W connection with the Mex
lean affair is the finding
at San Louis Potosi of John
Raymond, an American "un-
reconstructed rebel"
Mr.. Raymond refused as a
Confederate fighter to take the
cath after the war and settled
in the sister republic. There
nave been a good many wars
since then, but for him the war
between the states has not been
over. Now, at 70 years of age,
he would like to obey the warn
ing to all of American birth to
get out of the country until or
der is restored, but is too nearly
destitute to pay his way to the
border.
Consul Bonnie offered him
money from the appropriation
made by congress, but, unlike
most of our exiles abroad, the
fine old fellow refused it. He
was no longer a citizen of the
United States and he would
not take money from the gov
ernment at Washington.
There is pathos in the case.
John should be brought home
and shown that the civil war is
over. With a native of Virgil
MIA in the White House he
should no longer nurse his
grudge against the Yankees.

SALMON THIEVES ACTIVE.
Heavy Catches at Astoria Revive
Work OF Sneaks

ASTORIA, Ore, July 22.-The in
crease in the catch OF salmon has
brought with it an increase in the ac-
tiyities of fish thieves Last night
500 pounds of fish were stolen from
boat lying at S. Schmidt & Com
pany's wharf. Boats nave been rob-
bed recently at the Warren Packing
company's wharf, as well as the re
ceiying stations near Point Ellis.
One of the thieves Is said to have
a low, rakish craft, equipped with
a high powered engine, that skins
along at rapid rate, too swift for
any Of the fishing craft to overtake
him. He uses oars wnen approaching
or slipping away from the boats he
robs but on reaching the stream
glides away at high speed.

THE GOAL is A WORTHY
ONE

~ HOSE people, wherever
VI they live, who imagine
that Pendleton is father
ing a normal school bill in a
spirit of narrow selfishness
have much to learn.
Local people have a selfish
motive in the fight it is true,
but there would have been
nothing done had there not
been facts to show in clear and
unmistakable form that the
step proposed is one that must
be taken if Oregon's educati-
Onal interests are to be served
as they should be.
The normal school move
ment did not originate with
local businessmen. 1t original
ed with the teachers and edu-
Gators of the state. Those
teachers in their conventions
passed various resolutions up
On the subject long before local
people were giving the matter
any thought.
But when it was brought
home to our civic leaders that
the best educational authoriti-
es in the state almost unani-
mously favored a normal at
Pendleton (knowing the one
present normal to be insuffici-
ent) our people then took no
tice. They saw an opportunity
to serve PendletOn and at the
same time serve the state. 1t
appealed to them and so they
are in the harness with charac-
teristic vigor and earnestness,
Pendleton is not playing a
little game in this matter. 1t Is
playing a big game and the
goal is a worthy one-the adj
vancement of the public schools
of Oregon to position in keep
ing with the standard Of nei-
Rhboring states.
Help the fight along and dc
not underestimate Pendleton's
motive.

CRAPPLERS WORK
5 HOURS TO DRAW
Joe Stecher and Stranger Lewis Stage
Greatest Battle Ever Witnessed
in History Mat Game.

Omaha, July Joe Stecher caught
a tartar yesterday in Stranger Lewis,
who refused to be thrown in one of
the greatest, most bitterly fought and
sensational wrestling matches in the
history of the mat game. These two
great grapplers Travelled four hours
and twenty-five minutes without a fall
before large and enthusiastic Stecher
crowd that went home sore and dis
appointed because it's idol failed to
come through with a victory. But the
Stecher adherents took their hats off
to Lewis, the only man who so far
has been able to break the deadly body
scissors of the Dodge man.
The men started at a fairly respec-
table hour in the afternoon and
wrestled until it was too dark to go
any further. They were completely
exhausted and there seemed no chance
of a fall. Time and again Stecher
clamped on the body scissors only to
have it broken. Lewis was every bit
as strong as he and had Joe in tight
spots as often as he found himself in
the same predicament.
1t was a dead even thing match in
history repeated itself.
Months ago this same pair of wrest-
lers met without a fall resulting. They
fought two hours and ifty-five minutes
that trip, the bout ending when Lewis
hurt his leg in falling out of the
arena.
The result today puts a damper on
the Stecher claims to d Gotch match.
Lewis is just as much in the running
as Scissors Joe after yesterdays won

his game, the opener, pitching great
ball He allowed Quincy but four scat
tered hits and he was given sensation

1T assists without break. In fact the
Islanders went errOrless throughout
both tits.
Freddie Marks was hit freely in the
second game, yielding Is for total of
II bases, and the blows came at OPP
perfume times, driving in runs. Nc
Govern, Knox college hurleT, recently
annexed by Manager Castle, opposed
Marks on the mound. Although the Is
lander nicked him for 10 clean hits,
their old failing, that Of being unable
to connect when blows meant runs,
was again strongly in evidence. The
Speeders got to Marks early in the
game, counting two runs in the first
inning two more in the fourth, one in
the fifth and two in the seventh. The
Islanders got one in the third inning,
one in the fourth and one in the
eighth.
