Robert Smith, democrat, lias been elected mayor of St. Paul, by a majority of oyer 2000. . In New York City, 200,000 women workers receive an average wage of 60 cents a day. How much suffering and misery this fact implies surpasses tho power of imagination. The Southern states have converted their cotton factories into slave pens for the rising generation of savages. Thev employ 20,000 children between the ages of five and twelve, many of them on night Bhifts. It has been found by numerous ex periments that a solution of gum-arabic mixed with butter in the proportion necessary for absorbing its water will prevent for a long period its becoming rancid. Ci.iminai.h are increasing more rapidly in the United States than population. In 1850 there were 0737 criminals in prison, or one to 3112 of population ; in 18S0,58,60'.),or one to 855 ; iu 1800 82,329, or one to 757. The seizures are Irom the report of the National Prison Congress. Crematory companies would do well to note the statement of a chemist who lias determined, by analyses, that ft human body of average size contains three pounds and 13 ounces of calcium. The current quotation of calcium is $300 an ounce, which would give us each a a value of $18,300. Wai.teb Wku.man, the Washington convsponuent of the Chicago Record Herald, predicts that the next presi dential campaign will be a battle be tween the trusts and the masses for the control of the government, and that the struggle will begin with the ronoraina titm of Roosevelt. .Since America i beef sells much cheap r iu London than in New York, tho talk of Representative Tonguo, of Ore gon, on tho lioor of the house to the ef fect that repeal of the protection on meat j would hurt our export trade seems both silly and ridiculous. He must think the American people are fools. This corruption existiug In tho repnb- t., t Umatilla county.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE Clackamas Comity with a Third Less Population has a Much Createv Expense than Maricn. Fallowing are the semi-annual rep irts of the county clerks of Marion and Clackamas counties for the six months ending March 31, 1902. Compare them and see the difference. The population of M arion is 50 more than of Clacka mas, but. still its expenses are 33 1 3 per cent less. Has the management of the af fairs by county officials anything to do with it? It can't be laid to the democrats or populists in office. The sheriff's office of ClackamM cost $1356.11 while that of Marion cost $2052.00, the clerk of Claekamas cost $1,161.30, while the clerk of Marion cost $1524.98. As near as we can figure the cause of our excessive expense and taxation lies with the republican management of the county's affairs : . MARION COUNTY OS WHAT ACCOUNT AMT.

With this issue the Courier-Herald begins the 20th yearlof its . existence. The paper bas, changed hands but once since its establishment, and the present owner has had charge for nearly eight years and was with the paper nearly four years before purchasing it, making over 11 years continuous connection with the business. From its birth the paper made a healthy and continuous growth, especially so during the laft three or four years. It has had but lit tle public patronage but has always been able to keep its head above water and is beholden to no one outside of its office for its success except its liberal advertisers and subscribers, who appre ciated its independent business methods. We kindly thank those who have so kindly aided ua and only hope that we shall merit a continuance of their pat ronage so that we can keep the Courier-Herald ahead of all others in the number 'of its readers and patrons. POLITICAL NOTES. The proposed initiative and referen dum amendment to the constitution must probably have from forty-five to fifty thousand votes in its favor, even though there is not one vote cast against it. The man who tavors it aud does not vote for it is likely to be counted against It just as though he voted no. The citizens at neariy every place they visit iu the county are greeted by good crowds. The illustrations (by figures on blackboard) of Charles F. Clark bring down the house and are convincing arguments for a redaction of the county debt and expenses. Vote for initiative and referendum amendment. The statement is being rmde by the republican stump speaker, Miyor Q. B. Dimiek, that J. E. Jack, our candidate for sheriff, was a tax-eater but not a taxpayer as was his opponont. The rec ords in the court house show that Mr. Jack has paid a tax every year from 1888 to 1901, the total amount for that peritxl being $253.46, his tax for 1901 be ing $27.81. The tax paid by Mr. Shaver for same period was $231.41, and his tax for 1901 was $37.43. Mr. Jack has pai i $21.05 more tax in the 14 years than Mr. Shaver. Both Mr. Jack and Mr. Shaver have paid taxes on real property assessed to others besides the sums men tioned. The statement is being made by Mr. Campbell on the .stump that leads people to believe that the clerk's office has used over $1000 worth of stationery during the past few months. This amount of stationery was no doubt used, but not by Mr. Cooper or in his office, but by the whols set of officers in the court house and includes blank books, CLACKAMAS COUNTY OX WHAT ACCOUNT AMT.

The fact that so much stress has been laid upon the "superior business qualiii cations" of William J. Furnish for the" office of governor and the lack of busi ness qualifications of others, by the "Oreiionian" and the republican press generally, might of itself is good and suf ficient ground for all tax-payers and la boring men to cast their ballots against this much to do Furnish. When you are voting for a man to conduct your public business in order to get the right man for the position, place yourself in the same attitude as if yuu were going to employ a man to conduct your private business. Would you look fora good genial man of unquestionable honor and integrity or would you look for one that thought more of his own financial interests than the general public, or his poor neigh bors? Which of the two would be most Ikely to take '"rake-offs" or sell the people out for gold? We have bad experi ence in the paston this very question, especially in Clackamas county in the county judge's office. One of the best financies for our country was one of the poorest for himself. I refer to W. L. White, whose name will always be re membered af the friend of the taxpayers. Evidently some one thinks there has been a mistake or the republican press would not be raising such a storm in de fense of their candidates We socialists dislike to mention names or attack indi viduals as it is not in keeping w ith our principles, for we know what and where in the people are injured, and the cause of all the corruption and crime lies at the door of the competitive system. But knowing how and through 'whom Mr. Furnish gt his stait we will put him a few questions, Did you ever bel ng to the Knights of Labor? Did you ever belong to the socialistic organization known as the Videttes? Did you not liave your comrades at Pendleton through these organizations petition the comrades of Oregon City to iret you the appointment for deputy U . S. marshnll under the Hon. John Myers? Did you not get (he appointment against other men, such as R. B. Bestie and Gip Wills, w ho were more entitled to the position than you were? You were a poor boy at that time were you not, Billy? Did vou believe in socialism at that time? Of course we know that you do now. Now is it not a fact, Billy, that if you had not gotten the appointment at that time you would not in all pre lia bility have been sheriff of Umatilla county and if not sheriff, would not have been in the hanking business, and if not in that business, do you think you would have been the nominee of the hank cor porations and trusts for the office of gov ernor, and would yon not in all prob ability have been a socialist yet? Of course you did not use ai y money to secure this nomination as Comrade Ryan and Judge Chamberlain have, and nat urally would not expect to get anything back as they would if they were elected. Do you expect to get the votes of the la bor unions and Ithe "working mules" with your record staring them in the tace? Do you deny the men who got you your first political job? What are you going to do fo them when they flaunt the red ting in your face? Will you turn the gattling guns loose on them ? MOST LADIES I,.

BARBARA MoBONALD, Presl jVl dont of the St. Louis Blue Ribbon ' Club, writes the following letter concerning Peruna from 2947 Dayton Street, St, Louis, Mo. : "It la with foolings of gratitude for benefits derived from the use of Peruna that 1 desire to proclaim to human-kind my experience, hoping that it will bene fit some unfortunate sufferer like myself. "Suffering for years with what ap peared to be an incurable malady, and after a great expense inourred consult ing physicians without any benefit, I was recommended to try Peruna.
