HOW IT BECAME SO. The doctrines of free-trade and of protection belong: to the do main of Political Economy. . The questions themselves are not local questions but acknowledged prin ciples of Political Science. Which of these principles should be ap plied in conducting the govern ment is a local question only so far as the interests affected by the. nrinciDles adoDted exist in this, that or another locality. Which set of principles to apply, whether those of free-trade or those of protection, depends upon which will work to the greater benefit of all the interests involved. Because of this, that is because those princi ples belong to Political Economy and not to mere party politics, protectionists as well as free traders are found in both parties. It is true, the democratic party early opposed protection and ad vocated a tariff law looking to ward free-trade, and' this is the present attitude of that party on tariff legislation. The first tariff law, that of 1789, was discussed and settled on lines of political economy. When slave labor became highly remunerative in the south and the production of cotton and tobacco became the chief southern indus tries the people of the south, like all agricultural people, favoredthe doctrine of free-trade. As "time passed the south became the con trolling force in the democratic party, and that party became the exponent of free-trade. The con trolling force of the Whig, and later and more fully of the Re publican party was in the manu facturing north. Protection then became, in turn, a policy of these parties. This is the relative po sition of the two parties, Demo cratic and Republican, at present, and explains how these questions of nolitical economy came to be F - regarded by many men as simply party policies of local importance only. But. observe : our northern and western farmers see that protec tion benefits them more than free-trade does. The south sees that she must establish manufac turing if she would develop her boundless resources and attain her full measure of prosperity, Protectionists multiply in the south, and the day is not far dis tant, we may hope, when these Questions will be discussed, as they should be, as questions of political science, and decided upon the known results of their prac tical application to the conduct o our government in the best inter estsof the American people. This is the hope and desire of protec tionists of either party and the purpose of the republican party came an ideal race of men. But what of the power of envi ronment? Is it not probable that here may be found the greatest of all forces in moulding human character? We use the term en. vironment in its most compre hensive sense. It is certain we have not been enough solicitous as to the real influence of envi ronment upon men in their form ative state. The case of Thaw, again on trial, suggests these thoughts. No man had a more desirable ances try than he. His maternal grand father, Josiah Copeley, through a long, active and useful life proved himself to be a man "created a little lower than the angels," only- The same may be said of the young man's father, William Thaw. On both sides and for many antecedent generations young Thaw has a most excellent heredity. The force of tins was turned aside by an unfortunate environment. Pre-eminently public-spirited, his father was absorbed in many enterprises. Exceedingly char itable, and having ample means, his mother was ever busy with public and private charities. T.sft to the care of paid ser vants, tutors and instructors, over-indulged and pampered, the child, youth, man, had 4ow ideals set before him. These he chose to follow. We need not present the lesson, especially to parents. To one who knew the parentage of the man it would be a hateful task, true constitutional represeuia tives of the people chosen by certain equal groups of the peo ple to represent them in the conduct of the general; gov ernment. They are intended to reoresent the people and there fore it is fitting they should be chosen by the people, and the constitution provides they shall be. - mi Not so the Senators, iney have no constituency, are not chosen to represent the people of their state but to represent, rath er, the Government of the United States. Their responsibility and accountability are not to the peo ple of their state but to its con stituted Government. For this reason, amonj others, it is most appropriate , that the chief and most powerful branch of the State Government should elect U. S. Senators and that they should be of equal number from each state. Such are the provis ions of the constitution. Possibly we are mistaken in clinging somewhat reverently to this product of Jefferson and Washington, Hamilton, Henry, Adams and Franklin. Possibly Messrs. Bourne, U'Ren, et. al. are wiser than these, but, pardon us, we do not believe it. PERSPIRATION.

Wbi'e everycne has a right to his own opinion, yet it. is wise to aiwayn uuuai urr The Important Functions of This Wa- : tery Secretion. The perspiration is a watery se cretion of certain curiously coiled glands in the skin. It used to be thought that it served a useful pur nose in removing: waste matters I : v v-'- from the system, and there is no doubt that it does so in a measure, but it cannot compare in this re spect with the secretion of the kid neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and eight-tenths parts water, and the 6olid part is chiefly chloride of so dium, which gives it the weJl known salty taste. Its function is to mois ten the superficial layer of cells in the skin and so facilitate their re moval. But its chief use is believ ed to be to regulate the tempera ture of the body and prevent, bj evaporation, excessive and danger ous heat. The quantity secreted depends much upon the temperature of the air, exercise and tne amount oi nuia drunk. But it averages between thirty and forty ounces a day. It varies in inverse proportion to the secretion of the kidneys. The secretion is constant summer and winter, day and night, but ordinari ly evaporation keeps pace with it, and it does not appear as moisture on. the skin. This is called the in- coTiKiWe Tersrjiration. while that visible as water is called the sensi ble perspiration. It is decreased in amount in cer tain diseases, such as diabetes, in which the kidney secretion is enor mously increased, and in ichthyosis, rlrv. scalv disease of the skin. Increased perspiration may be purely nervous in origin, as seen in the beads on the forehead of one who is embarrassed, or the cold sweat of fear or some other power ful emotion. In some cases the in creased perspiration is localized in the hands and feet. If this is an expression of general weakness, ton- Sheep For Sale. With fine frenzy and illogical ogic some would-be constitution tinkers ask those who prefer to observe the provisions of the Federal Constitution in the elec tion of United States senators rather than to join in a demagog ical attempt to nullify those pro visions, "why then, not amend the constitution of the state so that the legislature and' not the people shall elect all our state officials?" Why amend the constitution at all? Certainly if the legislature may contravene the Federal con stitution, the constitution of all the states, it may easily nullify the constitution of one state. In deed it may be argued that it would have more right to contra vene the constitution of its own state than that of all the other states. Then just see how easily it may be done. A simple act of the what others think and profit by their ex perienie. Nothing makes life so miserable, or in terferes o widely with the usefniness of the average American, as indit'eftion, and it is well for us to irive fair considera tion to what others think about this re markable affliction. Graham & Wells are positive that in Mi-o-na Btomaeh tablets they have an absolute cure for indigestion and the many disagreeable symptoms that follow this disease, such as distress after eating, coated tonirue. bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, flatulence, nervousness and dehi'itv Their action in selling Mi-ona on a guarantee to refund the money unless it cures, shows plainly their belief in the value of this remdv. They take all the risk, and there will be no charge what nor for Mi-o na unless you are satisfied tbat it has relieved ycu ef indigestion NEW STRAWBERRIES. WHICH THE GREATER? The believers in heredity are often forced to revert to a dis tant ancestry for evidence of ma levolent physical, mental and moral conditions which, after several intervening generations of non-appearance, reappear in some remote descendant with in creased virulence. Whatever may be the truth of the power of heredity we are not prepared to accept as true all that is claimed by those who refer all that constitutes a man to the in fluence of heredity. It is true that by careful selection and breeding the race of men can be and has been improved. This is the method Nature pursues, and she makes no mistakes. If she produces a hybrid or a monstros ity of any sort it is in resentment of some interference with her simple and wholesome laws. The Spartans put themselves in harmony with these laws and be- legislature and, presto! the change is wrought. Since the people of all the states may not care a straw for their constitu tion it may be the people of Ore gon do not care a whoop for theirs. All the asseverations that those who oppose the binding force of Statement No. 1 do so because they distrust the ppople is the merest clap-trap. The opposi tion to this measure eomes from men who are of the people, the plain, honest, common people. Their opposition is based on con stitutional grounds. They ven erate the men who framed the constitution. The the organic laws they gave us ; have been demonstrated through all the years. Those who oppose j this statement do so because they . find no excuse for violating the : mandates of the constitution since the instrument was ordain ed by the people and contains am ple provision adopted by them selves for the amendment of the instrument itself when the people desire to amend it. There is a wide-spread miscon ception, however, as to the con stitutional relations between an U. S. Senator and the people of the state he is from. He is not a representative of lhe people of his state in the same sense nor to the same purpose and intent that the representatives or con gressmen are. These are the Some Promising Sorts In Their First Year of Fruiting. In writing of the most promising of newer varieties of strawberries tested at the Ohio experiment station in 1907 F. H. Ballou says In part: The newer varieties, fruiting for the first time this season, did not impress the writer as having among their number many which will ever become "standard" of their kind. A few are very satisfactory, but not superior In niiffirient decree to displace others which by real and persistent merit have won statements of commenda tion from careful and conservative spe cialists and experimenters In the past As a whole, the new sorts fruiting at the station for the first time in 1907 are inferior to those which were given their initial trial in 1906. Buster Imperfect. Berries medium to large in size; short conical, blunt at apex, occasionally ODiate, sume ye-i-mens slightly furrowed; bright, fresh crimson In color; flesh pink or light red, sufficiently firm to carry well and of fair quality. This variety has a beautiful, strong healthy plant that is very prolific. A peculiar characteristic which was ap parent this season was the tenacity with which the calyx, or "suuck, perfection of clung to the stem. Unless the stem was DroKen tne Derry wuuiu auuuoi always part from the calyx. The pick ers reported it "hard to pick," which, however, was no objection when the proper way of gathering the berries by "nipping" the stems was observed. This is a Canadian berry and made a favorable Impression this season. Another new berry is the Virginia, of which it is said: Virginia maKes plenty of strong, healthy plants with rich dark green foliage. This is the earliest imperfect blossom variety the writer ever test ed. It is astonishingly prolific. At the first two pickings the ground was al most covered with the unusually round, bright, attractive berries. Made two heavy pickings of salable berries, then dropped to a size too small for market A very promising first early sort Elnia is described as being a me dium to large berry and of good flavor Plants are clean, healthy, vigorous growers and moderately productive of very attractive berries. This is the latest berry in our entire collection and may prove to have some value Where it succeeds well. tcs and good food may correct the condition, but usually local treat ment is called for. Immersing the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet in water as hot as it can be borne for about five minutes and then, after drying, dusting them with very finely powdered boric acid is often of great service. The moist hand may be kept dry Vv fremient armlication to the palms of a saturated solution of boric acid in cologne water. The perspiration that occurs at night in consumption and other dis eases, accompanied with hectic fe ver, is often very distressing. The quantity of water exuded is some times enormous, soaking not only night clothes, but the entire bedding and mattress. If the patient's con dition will permit, a hot bath of four or five minutes' duration at bedtime will sometimes prevent or lessen night sweats. If this is not permissible, sponging with hot vine gar and water may be tried. A glass of milk and half a dozen crackers taken at midnight will also occasion ally be found useful. Youth's Companion. These Unschooled Natives Take Special Care of Their Teeth. The whiteness and beauty of the teeth of the African negroes have, through a mistaken idea, been gen erally ascribed to the food which ;liev eat and to favorable climatic ?ondition3. But according to a Ger man medical journal, the Muen chener. Medizinische Wochenschrift, these unschooled natives take spe cial care of the teeth and are fa miliar with many remedies for the treatment of dental diseases. From the observations of officials in German colonies it appears that the natives exercise more care in preserving the teeth than do most Europeans. They may owe the pos- . a 1 i 1 session ot sound teetn oi ivory whiteness partly to the influence of environment and habits, but in ad dition they employ many herbs, barks and juices as prophylactic and curative agents. Thus in Xegombo it is customary when a child has finished teething to rinse the mouth with an infusion of the leaves of a native tree with the object of tightening the teeth. The action of the infusion is prob ably due to the presence of a styptic constituent in the leaves which causes the gums to shrink. The na tives living near the source of the Nile employ the roots of a legumi nous olant. Dalbersria melanoxylon, to relieve toothache, while the na- tives to the west of the source of the same river use an infusion of the seeds of kasso, a climbing vine, for the same purpose. It is interesting to notice that the use of the toothbrush is not re stricted to the so called civilized peoples. The African negroes f ash- . . ... i 1 P XI .. .1 ion tootnorusnes oui.oi me wwu of a epecies of adansonia and other trees. In this respect the natives probably have an advantage over those who use an ordinary bristle toothbrush, which is frequently used for six months or even longer, indeed until it becomes too offensive to be tolerated longer. The sticks of wood such as the natives employ are, on the other hand, easy to make and cost nothing, and they are probably used for only a short time. And they possess the addi tional advantage of offering less op portunity for particles of food and other debris to be retained mechan ically than is the case with a bris tle brush.

He collected indefatigably the quaint sayings of children, and one of the treasures of his library was a small manuscript volume called "A Child's. Dictionary," and these are some of the definitions that Mr. Coudert would read from it: Dust Mud with the juice squeezed out of it. Rnorrris- Letting off sleep. Apples The bubbles that apple trees blow. Backbiter A mosquito. Fan A thing to brush the warm off with. Ice Water that went to 6leep in the cold. Boston Herald. The Business of Sympathy. One of the most valuable items of one's social stock in trade nowadays is sympathy. A little goes a tre mendously long way, and the great advantage is that it need never be real. People never stop to think wiwripr the seeming interest in one's illnesses, the sorrow for one's domestic worries, the interest in one's long string of woes and wor ries, is simulated. Nor do I honest ly believe they really care. The ma jority of folk just want a listening ear and a fuss for the time being. London World. Tales of Celebrities. In the Duke of Argyll's "Mes sages From the; Past" the author presents this picture, of Tennyson declaiming his verses: "He would take us into the very center of a large field at Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight, to be sure that he could not be overheard by any one lurk ing in the hedges, before he would stand and declaim in a deep, run ning bass voice any piece on which he was at worK at tne time or one that had been specially asked for. I remember his thus declaiming the whole of his poem of TBoadicea' with hardly a pause for breath." In the same volume appears an anecdote of Prince Bismarck at the Berlin conference: "At dinner the prince drank only beer, saying that he used to drink wine, and too much of it, but that now he could not stand anything stronger than beer. In obedience to Princess Bismarck he made a good dinner, but not enough of it in her opinion, and when she wanted him to take more he turned to me and said the whole object in life of a Pomeranian haus- frau was to rum her husband s stom ach."

Then he touched his cap and replied, " 'Deed an' Ah can't, boss, but Ah 'predates de honor, jest de game. Saturday evening .rust. In the Circuit Court for the State of Oregon lor Benton comity.
