But, i.r. Heaven's name, where is this
vnole game going to end? -
There is no incentive to enter the
business world throttled as business is '
today with different taxes for the up- j
keep of an army of commissioners.
And after all the inspecting that is
done, do you really think we get along
much better than Oregon did in the
days before such- things -became pop
ular? , i ; v ;
Do you think we are ''much better
off now that it costs four times as
much to run this state with a handful
of population, than we. were when
commissioners were unknown?
Lack of temperance . in making
commissions in Oregon will cause some
one some day to lay off from business
and Btart a few initiative measures
that will clean the state house at Sa
lem of half the salary grabbers.
And the day cannot come too soon
for the people of Eastern Oregon.

Have you noticed the wail of pro

Haven't you heard that same wail
before? Oh, yes, whenever they hear

Hail to Oregon and Chief;

Made to sail o'er troubled waters
And their wild career is brief;
Crime invariable ensues
Follows in the wake of booze;
May each troubled, tipsy dream

What a miserablo farce? Why did

Are they all like Hi Gill of Seattle

Not Sorrowing For Poluinas

The speakers dealt in plain, laity

tics and otherwise, the prevalence of
diseases.
Come With Remedy.
But, unlike some revivalist and
quack doctors, they did not merely
cry out against this vice, but the
speakers'came with a remedy and a
cure. I hat cure is always, and can

At the close of the meeting, on mo

was made permanent with power to
increase its membership. That the

drafted into the service as one method
whereby the state and local associa

alone, the church alone, the state asso
ciation alone, can do little, it was
pointed out, but through the home and
the parent, each or collectively can
remove the blanket of ignorance which
alone is responsible for the conditions
that now exist. It, was a ..splendid
meeting, filled with lessons of merit-
and pointing the way to fathew.who

What Would You Consider the Best
Kidney and Bladder Medicine?
Surely the one that brir.gs I relief
to the greatest number of sufferers
from kidney and bladder troubles in
the shortest possible time. (Foley
Kidney Pills do this. They arelof the
highest medicinal value and ar abso
lutely a pure medicine. They are
made to reach every phase of kidney
and bladder trouble, and to driive out
of the system the ills that resulf from
weak inactive kidneys and painful ir
regular bladder action.

The present fashions need a different shape of cornet This is the era of the

Dr. Maude L. Dunn, in her recent address in London, states that more than
half of the ills of women are due to badly-fitted corsets.
