Editor East Oregonian:
If you will give me space in your
columns will give the people of this
and adjoining counties something to
think about concerning the epidemic
now going on among the horses in this
county. After having read a little
talk In your paper made by our state
veterinarian, DIR. W. H Lytle, where
he says he thinks it is caused by
poisonous weed called Lupine. Now
who ever heard of vaccinating animals
to cure a disease caused from poison
in the stomach. I never did before
rOr do believe in such treatment
Nor 1 do not believe that Lupine is
the cause of the disease. for after the
early fall rains come the pod on the
Lupine weed bursts and the bean
falls out, and I do not think there is
any danger at all from Lupine at this
time of year. 1t does its work early
in the fall furthermore 1 never saw
any Lapine growing out here in the
grain fields, it may do SO but never
knew of it. think>it an epidemic and
Is caused by a germ. and I feel posi-
tive that 1 can prevent the same from
spreading and L also feel positive
can prevent them from having it. \
and I am willing to prove the same
or at least will give it trial and see
If / can prove what I say is true.
Now listen. Lupine is a weed bearing
a pod SIMILAR to a bean pod and as
soon as the fall rains come the pod
bursts open and the beans fall out |
and who of you if you had taken pois- |
on would vaccinate the rest of your |
family to keep them from dying with |
the same disease. Now you farmers /
want to stop your horses from dying |
do not try to stop it by vaccination te /
cure a poison caused from eating !

IN THE SENATE

- ILIBUSTERING at time
when the nations inter
ests called for loyal and
united action the United States
senate has filibustered once
ZOO often. It has made itself
contemplate and the country
open to world scorn by with
holding from the president
E1ower to protect the nation
and its citizens ''in the exercise
Of elementary rights, as the
president states.
In asking authority to arm
merchant ships President Will
son made a most reasonable re-
quest. 1t was an effort to solve
The problem of protecting Am
erican rights without going to
war. He contemplated sane
step-a step that would have
left it up TO Germany to choose
between peace and war with
America. Il was the obvious
thing for this country to do.
Germany is carrying on a cam
paign that disregards funda-
mental principles of interna-
1ional law. Not wishing to see
our legitimate commerce de-
strOyed by such procedure and
not wishing TO enter the war
President Wilson suggested
armed neutrality as the most
desirable course to take. He
proposed to meet ruthless bri-
yandage Of the sea by giving
cur ships the means whereby
they might defend themselves
II attacked.
The president should have
been vigorously and unani-
1mously upheld. particularly so
after it had been disclosed that
Germany had deliberately plot
ted to involve the United States
IN war with Mexico and Japan.
But IL United States senators
blocked the president in his
course. By their action they
support brigandage on the
ocean but denounce any effort
on the part Of noncombatants to
protect themselves from out
rage. BY their action they
gave aid and comfort to a ma
tion that sought by intrigue to
bring the United States to dis
aster.
The senate should be re-
quired 10 amend its rules 50 as
70 permit the majority to rule
or Il should be abolished. The
present situation makes a.
mockery Of democratic gov
crnment We have a virtual
state Of anarchy in the United .

NOT WORTHY OF CONFE
DENCE

~ HE confidence of the AM
VI erican public in the sia-
cerity of German diplo-
macy has been irretrievably
shattered by the Zimmerman
letter to the president of Mex
leo. The letter revealed a
dastardly plot against the
peace and safety of the United
States, a plot formulated at
time when this republic was at
peace with Germany and sim
cerely desired to remain at
peace if possible to do so in self
respect. Nor does the plea of
justification by the German
foreign secretary lessen the
enormity of his offence. He
claims it was a tentative pro-
posal not to be made save in
the event of a declaration of
war between the United States
and Germany. This coMten-
ton loses force from the fact
there is abounding evidence
that Germany has not waited
for such a contingency to come
about. German influences
have been making trouble in
Mexico for many months past.
The country does not know the
full extent of German intrigue
in Mexico, but enough is known
to arouse deep suspicion and
shatter confidence in any state
ment at this time from Berlin,

NO LONGER A HERETO

~ AVING been ex-commu-
| 0 nicated for a period OF
% years the Rev. r. G.
Cave of st. Louis has been re-
stored to full membership in
the same congregation that
suspended him in 1890.
The minister was dismissed
as a hereto because he preach
ed a sermon in which he as
serted that a misleading con-
ception of the Diety could be
obtained from the reading of
some of the Old Testament
stories. On his reinstatement
the Rev. Cave affirms the
views he held 27 years ago
and which brought about his
election from the pulpit.
These facts are interesting
and encouraging. They show
the broadening view of the
churchman. Preachers
now find it an asset to hold
views for which they would
have been enthusiastically be-
headed a generation ago.
Some will see decadence in !
the action of the st. Louis
church in restoring its former
pastor to membership. 1t is a
manifestation of strength, rath-
er than of weakness; of pro-
Vress rather than decay. The
church will never go astray by
following its conception of the
ruth. Truth is always strong,

GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Wheat Market is Unusually
Slow-Break in Futures
Causes Slump.
COMMISSION MEN HOLD

Olhahet nkst 80 '"i''
Receipts of grain today wero very good,
but a late break in futures caused dull
ness In the local cash market and traders
could not agree on prices.
Wheat trading was unusually slow and at
a late hour in the cash session there had
not been one car Of this cereal reported sold.
The demand, however, was not over active
and sellers generally were not satisfied with
the prices offered by the buyers. and, in
most instances, the commission men held
their samples over.
The position of the corn and oats markets
was little better than that of wheat, and
while there were seventy-two cars of corn
and fifty-seven cars Of oats received today,
only a small part of these offerings were
disposed OF. although both OF these markets
wore quoted substantially higher.
The demand for corn seemed to be con-
fined mainly to the white variety and the
bulk of the better grades OF white corn sold
around S1.57 and Mss. an advance OF &c
over yesterdays market.
There was hardly any yellow corn sold
and only a few cars OF mixed. although
prices were quoted somewhat higher on both
Of these varieties
The oats market was about unchanged,
hut the demand for this cereal was very
poor. Sales OF standard oats were made at
72Ee and 73c and a few cars Of No. white
brought re.
Rye seemed to be the only article that
was In good demand and most Of the sam
pies of this cereal sold at record prices. No.
. rye being quoted at 1871, while the No. .
grade brought $3.50 and t1.a0h.
Farley continued quiet with prices ad-
vsneing steadily and the demand for the
better grades continued active.

in corn and the action OF the market was
largely governed by wheat. New high price
records for corn as well as wheat were
reached, but were not maintained Oats
proved relatively weaker than other cereals
Favorable weather and crop reports favored
