Word conies from Albany of a

ill with the same dread scourge.
Parents everywhere cannot bo too

Wid drainage, poor ventilation, sud

Simple- diet, a clean and active skin,
proper action of tho bowols, early to
M anil plenty of sound sloop are
uunmion sense preventives of this
"hvadful disease. No mother can
afford to overlook thtvo important
matters. While it is likoly the dis

diould be remembered that preven
tion is always bettor than oure.

AX INTERVIEW.
A PromineHt Prohi Talks Freely,
An Ex-Democrat's Vicjvs of State
And National Prospects.
Dr. Aug. C. Kinney, of Astoria,
well known In Salem, registered
yesterday at tho Monroe house,
being In the city on business. The
Journal acknowledges a call. As
no Is oue of nominees on tho prohi
bition party electoral ticket, his
opinion was asked about tho politi
cal outlook.
Reperter: "Doctor, how will tho
election go iu Oregon?"
Docter: "Oh, there is no question
that Harrison and Morton will car
ry this state. I felt sure it would
go republican last June, and so tele
graphed an eastern prohibition pa
per that asked my opinion just before
the election."
R. "But you aro not a republi
can?" D. "No j a life-long democrat un
til a few years ago when I felt con
vinced that the proper place for a
strong prohibitionist was in the pro
hibition party."
R. "Do you expect anything of a
vote for the party in November, out
here?"
D. "Yes, we ought to gain, for
tho amendment vote showed nbout
20,000 voters, in the three parties,
who believe in the principle of pro
hibition, and since there is no reas
onable doubt about which side will
win in Oregon, I look for many tem
perance and religious democrats and
republicans to manifest the courage
of their convictions, and vote as
they pray."
R. "Is it not conceded that the
gains are far more from the republi
cans?" D. "Not at all, Look at tho
promised vote in tho Southern and
democratic states. And after very
careful enquiry over the stato gen
erally, I am firmly convinced that
wo aro getting as many democrats
as from tho republicans, with any
doubt on the subject being in favor
of tho former. My conviction is
that more democrats than republi
cans voted our ticket last June,
though In Marlon county it may not
havo been so. I do not know about
that."
It "But do not' prohibitionists
desire to draw mostly from tho re
publicans?" D. "I do not seo why. Tho ob
ject is to build up an entirely now
national party, by drawing oil" tho
most conscientious temperance men
of both, and not simply to specially
hurt or kill either."
It "But if you should help to
kill tho republican party, might you
not gain from It more rapidly, and
the sooner be able to defeat the dem
ocrats?" D. "Such talk as that would bo a
poor way to gain the democrats who
by education and long sympathy
are hostile to tho republican party,
and who would not want to assist
the prohibition party, if it was main
ly republican, but under a new
name, to defeat tho democrats."
It "It is supposed that your
party is going to spend its strength
mostly in doubtful states."
D. "Gonoral Fisko was hoson as
ourstanrtiirdbenrer,not because of his
state, but because of his high char
acter and ability, and because he is
esteemed in both North and South,
by both white and colored, soldiers,
and civilians. Rev. Dr. John A.
Brooks was selected because of his
sterling integrity and great ability,
being an ex-democrat, a Southern
man, and very popular iu Missouri,
his own state, and tho South gen
erally. His candidacy will antag
onize some northern men, and re
publicans who aro favorable to tho
prohibition party, but ho will break
heavily Into the democratic ranks.
Tho new party is tho only one that
can break tho wild South and the
color line. Our national committee
havo sent us a speaker, and will
probably send other. They aro
doing big work iu the South, the
stronghold of democracy. Wo have
organisations and aro holding con
ventions and doing hard work In
tho territories, where there Is no
olectoral vote leoaue we want to
swell tho aggregate vote and demon
strate the growing demand for a
new jwrty without worrying about
which of the old parties gets beaten
next fall, or In what states?"
It "What aggregate vote do you
look for"
Dr. "Four years ago St John's
vote ran up from 10,000 to 12,000;
two years since returns showeu
800,009. So 600,000 thk year Is not
at all unreawmabla, but weare work
ing for a million."
