STATE COMMISSIONER TO
UNTANGLE STATE LAWS
A state commission for the examina
I tion our revision of laws, composed of
' Home five or seven of tho ablo lawyers
of the state this is one more of the
dreams of legislation taking tangible
shape preparatory to presentation to
the 1909 session of tho legislature, says
the Portland Journal.
Attorneys of tho state are becoming
alarmed at the almost hopoless tangle
into which tho statutes of Oregon are
falling. Men believing that they have
a call to better conditions by Rome leg
islation draft i. bill which is pnssed
either by tho legislature or by initia
tive irrespoctivo of whether it is in
harmony or iu conflict with those stat
utes already existing and settled on the
books. An evidonco of this U the re
cent action of f'.ie peoplo of the state
in passing two fish bills for the pro
tection of salmon in tho Columbia riv
er. The bills wero draft- d by rival
interests, each of which intended to put
the other out of business. Heth bills
passed and are now laws Hnd one con
flicting with tho other makes both prac
tically if not wholly valueless.

ROOSEVELT DEMONSTRATION
PLANNED BY BOURNE
Oregon's junior seuator has jumped
into fame as a successful theatrical
maaager. His brain plauued and his
agents carried out tho most dramatic
national convention demonstration ever
witnessed in historv, savs J". K. Lath-
rop in a Chicago dispatch to tho Port
land Journal.
From him, your correspondent com
mon with all others failed to gain an
open admission of any phase attribut
able to him. However, the whole affair
is now easily analyzed, showing the
cleverly formulated plan executed so as
to hold the? world s attention. It was a
spectacular performance worthy of a
protossional director in tho production
of dramatic masterpieces.
For months on account of previous
advertising the peoplo expected a stam
pede. Delegates who only can nominate
remained apparently unaffected by the
powerful influences of the cheering
thousands, but the common peoplo in
the groat audience yielded to tho spell
and veiled Four, four, four years
more," and meant it. Delegates surged
: the bonds which held them, chaffed
t he orders f rom t ho ma nagers t o
stand pat." Nine in every ten of lh'in
wanted to break away and nominate the
Rough Rider by acclamation.
Things happened when Senator Lodge
pronounced the words "Our president."
and Lodge, obviously as Roosevelt s
Fidus Achates, wasn 't offered at the
l-i,0im people's attempt to' force the
president 's renom ination.
Senator Bourne had remained at the
hotel apartments, but had his ugi'iits
scattered thorugh the great hall, under
the direction of (Veil Lyon, the Texas
Roosevelt third-termer, who sat on the
main platform using his straw lint to
give signals to his lieutenants, who
were perfectly trained in obeying every
signal, thus keeping the multitude go
ii.g full 47 minutes.
Through all, with wonderful resisting
power, delegates remained under the I
Tuft banner, with the most trained pol
iticians asserting that the stampede
had failed. Tuft was assured of nomina
tion. I
Nevertheless, even the bitterest ene-;
mies have credited to Bouro a brilliant
theatrical play, or as pome phrased it.
He s a good sport. He s game and
plays his hand with nerve, doesn 't
put.
Bourne gave out a statement tonight
in which he predicted dire consequences
if Taft was named, imploring the party
to refrain from what he said to bo a
fatal mistake.
He and the "allies" organized a
street parade of several hundred with
band and banners. Ono banner said it
would lie either Roosevelt or Bryan as
president.

use of Dean's Kidney Pills. I suffered
from what doctors called rheumatism
caused from an excess amount of uric
acid iu my system. My kidneys wero
out of order and the trouble served to
run down my general health. T could
not stoop over without becoming dizzy
and was in a miserable condition, when
Bonn's Kiduev Tills came to mv atten

drug store. I saw a great change for

time, and was so encouraged that T con
tinued their use and was soon entirely
free from the trouble."
