CoiiRreKS Is dohiK UuhIiiwbs on a billion dollar ucalo every year. The Kruat dilllculty Is that thy treasury deficit is IncreaHlng rapidly. Only a week until ChrlHtmns Eve. As uhuhI, the occasion will lie ob served with appropriate exornlsuH, trees, etc., in nearly all the Hoseburg churches. No use to mention bad roads they speuk for themselves. There are 25 road districts In thin county which are preparing to have good roads be fore another winter, and the other districts will doubtlcus soon fall in line. (JOING TOO BWIFT A PACK. Thero ought to bo a moral In the report of the secretary of the treas ury. The deficit fur the fiscal year ending June 30 last was r8, 000,000. It Is one of the greatest in the his tory of the nation. Yet it 1b estimat ed that the deficit for 1909 will far surpass It, mounting to the unpre ' cedented total of $1 14,000,000. Nor Is this all. The estimate for 1910, without taking Into account possible loss of revenue from tariff reductions, Is placed at the great total of $143,000,000. From the stand point of business It Is a bankruptlve proposition. The moral of it Is that those who are conducting things are "plunging." They are in a career of high finance that must be checked or affairs be turned over to a receiver ship. Otherwise than In government this national balance sheet with the balance on the wrong side of the ledger would be the Blgnal for re duction of expenditures. That is the course suggested by reason as well as by business. Our buslnoKB management has been such that we have already reached the point where indirect taxation, graft and bad government cost every head of a family In the nation $200 per year. On the average man every added Dreaduuught costing $10,000, 000 levies a toll. Kvery one of (he ninety odd thousand federal employee put on the government salary rolls In the last four years levies a toll on him. All the thousands of govern mental schemes of exploitation, cost ing tons of money, are a tax on hie toll, his time and his talent, Alt this 1h a reason, ami a vital one, for cutting government expenditures . The cost of living in this country has reached a point where wages, toll and vital forces are swallowed up In the struggle to merely exist, all duo to indirect taxation, graft and tho lapses of had government. These are reasons enough for a reduction of government expenditures, by dis missal of an army of needless otllctals and a stay In building the armaments of an impossible war. If these, how ever, are not reasons enough to con vince rongreHs then the national bal ance Hheet with Its deficits, present and to come, should present the moral In the good old logic of event uating bankruptcy.

Conditions must be right all along the Hue from the first steps In production to the delivery of the finished product to the consumer. The fact that cream Is scarce and the demand great fur butter, is no excuse for (he dairyman to take advantage of the creamery man's dependent condition and de liver cream to him that is so- filthy or so old and add that It not only will not make iool butter Itself but will so 'contaminate his whole batch of .frciini that none of his butter can be of first grade. There Is no doubt but what there are dairymen In the state who do feel thai It is alt right for them to furnish the creamer men with Just as poor an article n any one could have tho gall to cull cream, but they were not at the convention. They are not the class of men who attend such meetings and assume the burden of the work necessary for tho general betterment of conditions. So it Is a case of the survival of the fittest. Resolutions were passed by the convention favoring the enactment of legislation which, when placed upon the statute boks and properly en forced will do much to advance the dairy interests of the state. No hon est dairyman can object to the pas sage and enforcement of the proce ed law and no legislator or tax payer should oppose the small appropria tion asked for to support inspection and dairy testing associations.

The 108 returns from the vn'rs of the united States show more clearly than they ever did that the American people have learned to de clare their wishes and purposes at the polls with distinctness and em phasls. There can be no doubt, for" example, that a majority of the peo pie of Indiana wanted Taft for nresl dent. Shall the congressional re turns which changed the Hoosler del elation from nine republicans an four democrats to 11' democrats an four republicans be unset therefore l.nw about Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio and other states which picked and cimse among the republican and th democratic candidates? As to the unsoundness of the Ore gon argument In morals there can be no question whatever. The choice of Chamberlain for senator, and the selection of candidates for the legislature which was to ratify It, were made In accordance with a primary law which was designed to effect practical election of United' States senators by the voters of the state. That the primary law has not worked satisfactorily from tho be ginning does not mitigate for a mo ment tile hideous Immorality of the proposal now mooted that the legis lature shall not keep fnlth with the people. So Immoral is it Indeed as to evoke astonishment at the condi tion of public sentin'ient which would tolerate Its projection even. Senator-elect Albert Abraham Is preparing to apply to Governor Cham berlain for a pardon for George Green, who was sentenced In the cir cuit court here In April, 1907, to one year's Imprisonment in the peniten tiary for obtaining money under false pretenses. Green passed one of those $10 Georgia State Dank bills, issued before the war, upon a Drain store keeper In payment for some articles, less than a dollar In value, and re ceived legal money in change. Huv ing other genuine money on his per son. Green reimbursed the store keeper for his loss, after being brought to Hoseburg, but this did not exempt him from the penalty of the law. ureen comes of a good family. Ills brother Is a prominent lawyer of Ilrooklyn, N. Y., a member of th New York legislature and chairman of ItB committee on general laws. He has provided the necessary funds to defrny the expense of his brother's return to Brooklyn In the event of his pardon, and Mr. Abraham hopes to secure this in time to enable the man to reach home by Christmas.

The sllKhtest form of kidney derangement often devel ops into HrlKht s disease, diuhetes or dropsy. When either of these diseases are susitectod the sufferer should at once seek tho best medical attention possible. Consult only a good, flrst clnss physician. There are many of the lesser symp toms of kidney trouble which can be treated at home Is stated by a well known authority. For some of these, such as backache, pain in the reglou of the kidneys, weak bladder, fre quency, (especially at night) painful scalding and other urinary troubles, liy the fol'owlng simple home rem edy: Fluid Extract Oandelhn, one half ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparflla. tlpce ounces. These simple ingredi ents are h ami less and can be obtained at nny good prescription pharmacy nnd anyone can mix them by shak Ins well In a bottle. The dose for adt'lts is a teaspoonful after each :ncul and again at bedtime. There Is no more effective remedy l:tmwn to relieve all forms of rheu tiatmm, U -cause it acts directly upon the kidneys and blood. It cleans the eh f.fted up pores In the kidneys so 1'ie can titter and strain from the I.iihiH the iMMunnmiD url i-M ai,l r vjite matter which If not eliminate! remain in the blood. deeoniKe and settle about the joints and muscular tissues causing the untold suffering and deformity of rheumatism. Haekache Is nature's signal notify ing the sufferer that the kidneys are not acting properly. "Take care of your kidneys," is now the physlclan'j advice to his patients.
