TIIK WAY OF T1IK FOOMSII. - Commenting upon a crime recently committed in Portland the Evening Telegram has the following good rrltl cism of those who in their folly want to acquire money easily regardless of the consequences Involved: "Two young men are arrested for the taxicab holdup of a few weeks ago, and In a confession obtained from one of them we have the same old. stale, idiotic story of a desire for easy money, and a belief that the hest way to get it Is to commit crime. Both of these young men were working, and so far as anything is yet disclosed might have been steadily The spirit of Life I find , employed at wages that would maln- In the grass and the flowers !,, ,t,m . nmfort and self-resnect.

Upon the Commercial association -devolves many duties and some of much importance. It is the working organization of this town. There is always much that can be done in be half of Pendleton. It falls to the Commercial association to take the lead in this work. Sometimes the association shows a creditable degree of zeal and activity. At other times It becomes a thing almost devoid of life and therefore without influence. The past year was a busy one with in the association and some very good work was done under the leadership nf M-Presldent Moore. It is need less to call attention here to the Im portant propositions handled during the term. But the results accomplish ed were sufficient to more than justl fy the thanks tendered the retiring officers last evening. t is eratifvine also to note that the new administration begins work under very favorable conditions. In terest In the association is at a high pitch. The younger business men of the city have been given recognition in the association. They practically constitute the board of managers and when he named his committees last evening President Thompson named young men for chairmen. It is now plainly up to the young men to take thai nnitinnq seriously and "make . " v - good." Yet it will not do, of course, for the older "warhorses" to retire from o,.tir,n imnlv because some new workers have been borught forward For the association to succeed prop erly It is necessary for all to co-oper ate loyally in whatever work there may be at hand. Young, old and mid dle aged must travel side by side There must be no factions within the association and everything in the na ture of personal or business anlmosl ties must be throwry Into the scrap pile. Conditions at present in Pendleton and In this county are such that live, enthusiastic, aggressive commer cial club 1 needed here. Let us have such an association during the com ing year. the means 6f securing easy money for the gratification of their desires. They planned and executed a double hold up. In the execution of this crime there was another that Involved all the elements of murder, except that the victim of their murderous intent did not die. The proceeds of that criminal, foray were a little more than $50, and for that these two young men face the penitentiary. "The folly involved in 'suoh under takings is so nalrjablei that one Is moved to wonder if the themselves are not mentally derang ed. Consider the' matter, as we have considered it quite a number of times before! These young men prefer to rob rather than to get their money by honest labor. To work with them Is evidence of inferior capacity In this world. They dislike it, and they are not the "dubs" to settle down to any such commonplace existence; so they take their own lives in their hands and are ready to sacrifice the lives of others if need be, that they may help themselves to easy money. Invari ably the result is the same years of humiliating and unrequited toil, to ay nothing of the brand of the conr let and the taint of the prison that will stay with them for years and per haps through life. If there is any choice in life denoting the decision of a fool, It Is emphatically this. The last sentence expresses the sit uation exactly. Young men who im agine they can make a livelihood by robbery or by other dishonest meth ods are fools. They are both Ignor ant and foolish. KEEP THE COMPAXY STRONG.

Such men of Orange, Steininetz of Schnec tady, and Tesla of Denver, state upon authority, backed with actual figures that the day is already dawning when the waves, the sun and the wind will have to be harnessed to supply man kind with the necessary power to keep us alive and in comfort. In the east the windmill is prac tically unknown but scattered all over the great plains In the middle west can be found these economical power producers busily engaged in pumping water or occasionally turning a grind stone or a feed mill. These wheels are small, but they are busy and success ful workers and there is no reason why they cannot be made larger., The modern farmer of this great country now boasts of his telephone, his automobiles and his other city conveniences and ne wm not oe i tallv satisfied until he has electric lights and electric motors to do the drudgery about his farm. The Yankee with his Barlow knife has whittled out more labor saving criminals i inventions than atl the other nations put together and it is not to be won dered at that an enterprising Illinois f:irmpr was the first to provide his farm with an abundance of electricity j direct from wind power. j This countryman knew nothing about electricity or electrical ma- j chlnery beyond what he had seen in the nearby cities but it did not take him long to read up on the subject j enough to understand the rudimentary j nrincinles of the mysterious energy. . He already owned a large steel wind- mill so all he had to do was to de vise some scheme whereby the wind power could be turned into electric ity. He soon found Out that a small generator direct connected to his windmill shaft would not do at an, for his power would not only be un even, but would cease entirely when ever the wind stopped blowing. He thought of making the windmill pump water to a high tank and then convert the falling water into elec tricity through a turbine-driven gen erator but this would Involve too much expense. Then he chanced up on an article dealing with batteries for storing electricity and the prob lem was immediately solved. Elec trical Notes. Koosovelt at Berlin May 10. Beiflln.

HEALS OLD SORES Before any sore can Leal, the cause which produces it must be removed. As long as the blood, from which our systems receive their necessary nour ishment and strength, remains impure and contaminated with disease germs, any old sore on the body will remain open, and resist every eOort made to heal it The nerves and tissues of the flesh around the places are continu ally fed with -unhealthy matter and nature is simply disposing of the poison by draining it from the system through the sore. The ouly cure for an old sore is a thorough cleansing of the blood, entirely ridding the system of the cause. S. S. S. heals old sores by removing every particle of impurity from the circulation. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and so com pletely cleanses the circulation that there is no longer any impurity to drain through the sore, but the place is once more nourished with rich, health ful blood. S. S. S. heals the sore from the bottom, the place soon fills in with healthy, firm flesh, the tenderness leaves, all discharge ceases, the skin regains its natural color and when S. S. S. has thoroughly cleansed and unified the biood the place is permanently healed. Book on Sores and 'leers and uuy medical advice free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
