The nian who dares to stand
UNWISE AND UNJUST CRITICISM.
"The managetient of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition should extend a
vote of thunks to Senator Palmer, of
King County, for his opposition to
$100,000 for a Washington exhibit at
Portland. While it is probable that
the Senate would have passed the bill
by a good safe majority, this assur
ance was clinched beyond a doubt
when it became known that Palmer
would vote against the appropriation.
The advantage of having the opposi
tion of such a prominent and objec
tionable a man as Senator Palmer is
shown by the total of tiie vote on the
final passage, which was 84 to 4 in
favor of the bill. Almost any kind
of legislation can be put through the
Washington' Senate this year if it
shall be opposed by Senator Palmer,
of King County. " Oregonian. '
t Criticism, such as this, is more often
than otherwise directed against men
of very worthy .effort and
tention.
up for what he considers lie best in
terests of the people, when he stands
alone, is to be commended. Mistakes
arising out of erring judgment are
seldom as harmful as those resulting
from corrupt motives. They may
nearly always be corrected under the
light of reason. When a man of
courage is found in public office, it is
poor policy to belittle him- better to
enooarage the virtue that is none too
often met ) with, and use the more
honorable weapon of argument.
The fact that a large majority of
the Washington senate voted differ
ently from Mr. Palmer does not sig
nify that he was wrong. We have
known bills to pass our own sonate
almost unanimously that were not
only contrary to the wishes of the
people, but infamous in their con
ception and vioious in priuoiple. We
think the Washington legislature
would be acting unwisely and con
trary to the' interests of the state of
Washington in refusing to vote an
appropriation for an exhibit at the
Exposition, but at the same time we
would throw Senator Palmer a boquet
for having the courage to be his
own man.
the Chicago press who are repeatedly
ridiculing the country papers on their
locals? These two-by-four lunch
oounter flendsthink it awfuly fanny
when some country newspaper says,
"Hiram Slooum has sold his Holstodn
cow to Ed Childress. " But, of
oourse, it is just the propir caper
when they say, "Mrs. Franklin Oliver
Lowden .has just returned from the
Epsum Lorimer Kennels." Oh, that's
great ! That bull pup would bring
about 80 cents in a dog pound, while
Slocum's cow would sell for 50 in
the dark. Because Gussie Davis was
over at Guards Point Sunday to see
his best girl, they throw a shoe, but
if William Henry Harrison Pook, the
society leader, was in Milwaukie last
Saturday to see Miss Gertie Pabst,
they would slobber over a half column
and have three pictures of Gertie and'
William Henry on the front page.
SOLOMON NOT SO WISE.
Speaking of a full page picture of
the Queen of Sheba and King Solo
mon in the last issue of the War Cry,
the Salem Journal ays: "The picture
represents the Queen of Sheba coming
to old King Solomon anxiously
searching for the wise artiole a
queen in search of wisdom. She is a
stunning fine looking woman" and
old Sol is sitting 'on his throne.
wrapped up in solemnity and a yellow
horseblanket with a red border. His
whiskered majesty fairly drools with
wisdom, but we would not be afraid
to bet that there are forty young
women hanging around the Oregon
legislature who would not have to go to
old Solomon to get wise ,and some of
them would come pretty near making
a fool of the old man. The War Cry
ought to know' that women of today
have outgrown Solomon."
FLORENCE CRITTENDEN HOME.
REWARD FOR FAITHFUL SERVICE.
The action of the O. W. P. Co. in
establishing a scale of wages based
on Continuity of service of employees,
is a step in the right direction, After
two years' service, an employe's wages
aro raised about 5 per cent. After
another year he gots a further raise
of about 5 per oout. This premium of
faithful, continuous service tends to
produce stability and unwavering pur
pose in workingmcn and to give them
a personal interest in the buccuss of
', their employers. The company will
undoubtedly find this change a profit
able i novation, while the employes
aro the diroct recipients of its benefits.
It is the common charge that the
shortsightedness of employers of labor
is responsible for many strikes and
lockouts. There is probably consider
able truth in the charge. The work
man, humble as his position may hap
pen to bo, is not a maohine. Thore is
a household that his earnings must
sustain a little home perhaps that
ovory evening awaits his coming j a
fireside that his presenco brightens
and cheers. Life, with its little
pleasantries, hopes and triumphs, is
iiot less dear to him than to the
prince of finance, feasting and grovel
ing in his magnificently apportioned
palace. If riches and high positions
aro generally denied the son of toil,
peering far into the uncertain future
he may discern the flickering sun
beam that assures him life's pathway,
is not dark unto the end. Toward the
light he presses on. Hope leads the
way.
Who would be so mean as to take
from the toiling millions the comfort
of the darkest home who, if he
could, would banish hope from the
heart of man.
The employer of labor who holds
out no future hope, is too often the
author of his undoing, This is the
horror of prison life the unutterable
sadness of slavery.
The O. W. P. Co. lias fixed a certain
reward for faithful service. There is,
of course, in addition to this, the un
certain, but always probable ad
vancement to higher positions accord
ing as merit may earn it. Tho key
to the solution of the labor problem
may lie here.
THE WORM TURNS.
There has been established in Ore
gon City a branch of the Florence
Crittenden Home. , ! The work of this
society goes on so quietly over the
United Staces that few persons realize
the magnitude of its operation. Many
a blighted life began anew under the
shelter of its protecting care. Many
the misguided and forsaken young
woman that returns through this
avenue from the entrance on a life
of shame. Who is to care for and pro
tect the young girl who for one reason
or another, must venture out on the
cruel, treaoherous sea of humanity,
unprotected and ' alone? Who will
guide her as she enters a world of
trickery, knavery and temptation?
Who will assist her to arise it she
falls?
1 This is the field oocupied by the
Florence Crittenden Home. Great is
its task, but the courage of those who
have taken up the work in so many
of our large cities has proven equal
to the task.
Don't it make you weary to read
the rot of those rattle-brain idiots of

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood,
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to tne kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work. .
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kic
Kilmer's Swamp-Root
as your kidneys are w
all the other organs ti
will convince anyone.
If vou are sick you c.
take hv first doctorinsr vour kidnevs.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
nave a sample Dotue nomaotsvwup
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Ment'o" this ciper

but remember the name, Swamp-koot,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
dress, Binghamton, N. Y. , on every bottle.
