VALUE OF A STATE ORGANIZATION." rTA HERE Ts'no moVement recently i I ' mora hearty encouragement ; -. tematfcally advertise the atato tiona for that purpose. In this respect Oregon haa never put Ita beet -foot forward. Unless a man actually came to the state and saw for himself he had no real means trf knowine- lust what we had here and forded as a aectlon In which to settle. For thla reason chiefly Oregon now presents the best opportunities of any : rrf tha states' to those who seek new homea with the cer- tamtyj'hat. conscientious work wlll ; reaulta that eould De expeciea anywrer. . - , "Within the paat four years tide or year aa the new .comers spread the news and thus helped to attract their friends and acqualntancea. The railroads for their part have dona their full duty in wus renvoi nm only In scattering attractive literature but In reducing rates ao aa to induce the light sort of settlers to come hera knii Munim thins for themselves. Other public bodies hV aided In the work but yet it altogether was not nearly so far-reaching and systematic aa to It la now proposea to in w ueyumi iifi"m -tofore attempted not merely to advertise the country, but 'Its products and to make them stand forward aa they do ,n the enterprising state to thesouth,Of us. This urn Iblg undertaking and It requires general co-operation to make It a complete success. It Is not the Work of one ac tion or 6t ona class of peoplafor special In terest, but It should be made tha work of all the- sections and all the people for the whole state. It should be ap preciated that anything done for any part of Oregon will - surely help every other part of Oregon-and that no part can. be very prosperous without the other jrt feeling . i . . UM , . Some time ago we called attention' to the fact that tha state doea not get tha benefit It la entitled to .out of the . brated. ' All of this should ba remedied and It will be remedied when the state organisation geta in full working order.. To this movement everyone should lead willing hand.' ' If that is done -we venture" the prediction that the growth of the state and Its varloua cities In. the next 10 years will be so mating aa to attract tha surprised atten tions tha whole1 country. Those who live here know that all that la ranulrwd la for the state's resources and ad- vantaxea to be known. - Once "a man comes here to see for himself It Is almost a matter of course that he becomes' a . resident and property owner. The whole problem then Is solved when people are Induced to come here and this is why the work of the associated organisations of the, state will be at the basis of our future growth and prosperity. THE REPUBLICAN FTHVl BEMI-CENTENJttAL of tha son, Mlch where, it is said, ganlsedn July . 1864. The party was and In particular Its extension Into Kansas and Nebraska. The Republican, party was not an abolition party. It did not propose to abolish slavery In the states in which it al ready existed, but o'hIyWcbhnne it Its founders for the institution of slavery, and their strong opposition to the slave holders, whom a "revolting and oppressive aristocracy." In brief, the Republican party was originally a party freedom, and was animated with a spirit of devotion to a great political duty. It was In its earlier daya a, party of Compltsh a great work an even greater work than Its leaders designed or contemplated, v. , , ' Two years after this initial meeting and declaration at Jackeon, the' Republican party nominated Its first can didate for. president. John C. Fremont, but the time was not yet ripe for Its success at the . polls, and. James Uuchanan was elected. This was probably fortunate for the party and for the country, for Fremont ..was an ill balanced man. who might have wrecked the party and brought even greater trouble upon the country than it encountered later. Buchanan, though an able, cultured arid experienced man, was old and weak, and faced utterly Impossible conditions, so the country rapidly drifted Into the most destructive civil war of. modern times.. But this, aa we look back now upon the situation, was Inevitable. The terrible' sacrifice had to be made, lng generations should aureljr, know4hat , tblla.infact as veU4ai in theory" country of freedom, and that "the union 'bf states is Indissoluble. ... . ' . ' In 1860 the Republican party,. elected Us first and In most respects its greatest president, Abraham Lincoln, nd he was re-elected in 1864, only to fall soon after his acAmoK or rai oovQvxmrjro jai.

All the qualities that make for mili tary prowess have been so fully demon strated by Japan's commanders, corps and system, and all the deficiencies that show the Russian army to be the big gest military humbug of the axes have been ,o thoroughly exposed that the Dews of victories for the mikado's arms haa all but reached the stage of mo notony. Only the story of the fall of Port Arthur and the account of the first general engagement between the now al lied armies of Invasion will arouse the World audience to thrills of excitement. If It were not for. the rapidity with which events move 'across the far east ern stage the spectators of the giant struggle would grow Indifferent to ths dally assertion of Japanese supremacy s the plot unfolds even faster toward thedlroax.

At each removal . of . these pioneer figures from the scene of active work b the -gloom of poverty's homethere is a touch of aorrow for the community.

What these old pioneers had they gave freely.-and perhaps, freest of all thelrglfts, were life's tissues and brawn. That so many of them - should - be forced to this shame when strength Is spent cannot bring other than pathetic memories and stings of conscience.

(I) industrial,; (8) competitive, (4) para sitic. . . . The agricultural .class Includes farm laborers and those desiring to take Up land for settlement' "The industrial Class' Includes the great army of un skilled laborers who. seek, employment in the mines, mills, great works of con struction and manufacturing conoerna, Theae two claasea are valuable and neo essary for .the development and -indus trial progress of ths country. The - competitive' class takes In the skilled laborers, mechanics; artisans and others who come here and enter into competition.

The fourth or paraaitlo class is, as its name impllea, not only valueless, but decidedly detriments! to the body poll tie.-r in - this- class - are included the peddlers, fakers, paupers, eta, who con gregate and will live only In the large centers of copulation and who cannot or will not do hard physical labor.

It covers all who gain restored health by the help of modern medicine and surgery, for it is !. . ''. very large that more complete knowledge of dis ease wnicn maaea successful treatment possible. . Another development is ths treat ment of certain diseases by antitoxins. This Is perhaps best known in con nection with diphtheria. - The -value of this method is seen by comparing the statistics of the hospitals of the Metro politan Asylum board in 1S90 with the figures for ltoo. In the former year the deaths among cases of diphtheria were 88.1 per cent, while -in 1100 the per centage of mortality had fallen to 18.01. and parallel figures could be quoted from sll parts of the world where this treatment has been adopted. What is true of diphtheria will almost certainly ere long be ahown to hah trust. of a number of other diseases, such ss tetanus, plague and typhoid fever. Ex pert bacteriologists ara investigating the minute organisms which cause these and similar diseases, and It may be taken as certain that when the cause of any disease ia fully understood it will not be long before means are de vised for its prsventlon or cure. This ts well seen In the esse of malaria. So long aa Ignorance prevailed In refer ence to the causae of thla disease little or no progress was made in treatment But -whan a few years . ss-o malaria was, shown to be due to the nresanra of- a parasite in the blood which is conveyed to man bf the bite of a mosquito, the position was eomnl.t.i. changed.
