LA FOLLETTE DESC1PLIHED
III III) STATES SEHATE
Washington, Dec 23. That a United
States senator is a bigger man at home
than he is in Washington is demonstrated
id the case of Hon. Robert M. LaFollette
of Wisconsin. His is an extreme cats,
because he is the most conspicuous figure
in Wisconsin politics, and comes to the
senate to mingle with the newest and
tenderest members of that body. LaFol
lette. who has been boss among his own
people, is made to feel his insignificance
in the senate at the very outset. He is
made chairman of the committee to 'in
vestigate the condition of the Potomac
river waterfront," and assigned a com
mittee room in the aubbasement of the
capitol, down among the dynamos, furn
aces and wood piles. He is, in fact, as
far removed from the senate chamber as
he could possibly be. He has been given
the least important and most useless
committee on the entire senate list, and
has a room less desirable than any other
at the disposal of the committee on com
mittees. .
There is no particular fondness for La
Follette in the senaW, for several reasons.
In the first place, after his election, his
press bureau announced a program that
Senator LaFollette was going to put
through congress; it pictured him leading
the fight for railroad rate legislation such
as the President wants, and predicted
that he would be a mouthpiece of the ad
ministration io the senate. . That was a
very unfortunate thing for LaFollette, for
I if there is one thing the senate resents
above all others it is the attempt of any
new senator to force himself to the front
and the attempt to assume the responsi
bilities of leadership. -
Later on LaFollette further injured his
standing in the senate by clinging to the
governorship of Wisconsin several weeks
after congress convened. For personal
purposes he held onto his job in Wisconsin
in preference to coming to Washington to
begin his career as senator. The senate
look upon this as an affront, - in that it
shows that LaFollette. for a time at least,
considered the governorship mors import
ant than the senatorship. He was un
wise whan he made this move, and the
senate will never forgive him.
Altogether, the future for "Bob" La
Follette is not as bright as he and his
friends might hope. It is a safe predic
tion that his career at Washington, at
least his first two years, will be a sad
disappointment to him.

PNEUMONIA YIELDS TO
TREATMENT
CONFESSION Of SCIENTISTS VERITIES OS
TEOPATHIC THEORY. THE GERM
ONLY AN AUXILIARY CAUSE AND
OSTEOPATHY fINDS AND
CORRECTS THE ORIGINAL
ONE
original source of trouble. Osteopathic
treatment in pneumonia has been so suc
cessful that the outlook in these cases,
which is usually not very favorable under
other treatment, map be pronounced good
under the new system. The Right Way.
Recently this journal published com
ments upon the findings of the Pneumonia
Commission, which has been conducting
investigations under the auspices of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research;
and now that the annual harvest of death
through this disease is beginning thefacts
then brought out requires fresh emphasis,
Briefly, the commission found that
pneumonia is caused by a germ, and its
chief recommendations were made with
the aim of preventing the communication
of that germ from one person to another.
Yet it was admitted in the report of the
commission that the pneumococcus. or
pneumonia germ, was found in the mouths
of nineteen out of twenty-one sound and
healthy persons upon whom tests were
made, which would seem to Indicate that
efforts to prevent the communication of
the germ from one person to another will
be of little avail.
Other causes must be looked for, and
Osteopathy long ago found them. It has
long been an axiom that germs can do no
harm unless they find debilitated tissue in
which to nest and multiply. This fully
explains why some people, in whose
mouths the pneumonia germ is found, con
tract pneumonia, while the great majority
do not In those who contract the disease
there has simply been weakened lung
tissue which offered a breeding ground for
germs, and the refuse from these germs
brought on the acute condition. It would
seem manifest that whatever brought
aboujjhe weakened condition of the lung
tissue was the original cause of the dis
ease. WHAT CAUSES WEAKENED TISSUE
Equally apparent is the truth of the
proposition that,, if proper nerve im
pulses and normal circulation of good
blood existed in thase tissues, they w u d
not be weakened and would not have of
fered a congenial home for germe. And
similarly easy of comprehension is the
Osteopathic assertion that weakened lung
tissue Indicates interference with, the
nerves supplying the lungs, or with the
nerves controlling the blood circulation to
and from the lungs.
The Osteopathic plan of searching for
the said interference and correcting it is
therefore manifestly the correct one. It
is for this reason that the disease has not
the terrors for the Osteopathy that it has
for other other physicians, and that such
excellent results are accomplished under
Osteopathic treatment. Ccntractured or
tensed muscles are found which affect
the spine or directly affect nerves and
vessels; depressed or twisted ribs are
found which cause crowding, and misid
justed vertebrae in tha spine are always
prolific causes of tiouble.
OSTEOPATHIC MEASU2!S OUTLINED
Any or all these "lesions ' may be found
in a case of pneumonia, and it is through
their effect upon nerves and blood vessels
or upon the sympathetic nervous system,
that the original weakened condition of
the lung tissues, which makes the disease
possible, is created. Osteopathic work
includes manipulative treatment for re-
duc'ng fever and lessening the immediate
suffering of the patient, besides exclusive
ly corrective measures for readjusting the
part whose mal-position has been the

Chan Chun Man, head of a Canton firm
employing over 1 0,000 hands, has been
studying American industries. In Phila
delphia, apropos of the Chinese awaken
ing, he said: "China has for thousands of
years been highly enough civilized to da
spisa war. Her new-born respect for
war is not an unmixed good.' There is.
perhaps, a little degeneration, of barbar
ism, in it. But at least China will no
longer be the laughing stock of nations,
more warlike than herself. It will no
longer be possible to say of her, as the
Japanese once said, that a Chinese gen
eral explained a defeat with such" a report
as this: 'The ignorant enemy, unaware
that guns could not bjflod against an
object behind them, cams upon" us from
the rear and thus rendered all our cannon
useless.' "
ISOLATED TRACT SOLD
An isolated tract of 12(3 acres was sold
this morning at the land office to George
W. Swaggart and Jack' Hind, of Heppner.
The land was located in Morrow county.
The price paid was the usual government
price $1.25 par acre.
The isolation sale law provides that if a
tract of .land has been surrounded by
other lands for a period of three or more
years it may be sold at auction to the
highest bidder. The law provides that
nothing less than $1.25 may be accepted.
As it often proves that the lard is too
rough for homestead entry or to go unde
the timber and stone act, the government
takes this method of disposing of such
