CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The best organio law is written
under the inspiration of arouBed
patriotism and daring times when the
best efforts ot a state s best men are
enlisted in drafting the fundamental
laws on which the structure of state
hood shall be built. Such were the
conditions that gave to the United
States constitution its immortality,
It has proven a pillar of rock in the
time of storm. Seas of dissention
have beat against it bnt it has not
fallen. It has stood when the perils
of revolution assailed it and it will
endure throagh the mutations of time,
for it is more than the handiwork of
man it is the inspiration of a time
when men's souls yearned to break
forever the -bonds of tyranny that
bound them, and to substitute there
fore a guarantee of mental liberty,
the divine right of man.
During a period immediately pre
ceding the days when North and
South met in the terriflo struggle of
civil war, our Oregon constitution
came to light. It is the great work
of the representatives of ten thousand
pioneers.' The structure they built
for a state's foundation is worthy this
star of the West it is rightfully the
pride of Oregon. The men who made
it were patriots. They were drafting
the fundamental law of the land they
had won through untold privations,
hardships and suffering. It is not
strange, therefore, that the oraving
of personal ambition has not warped
nor marred this splendid docu
ment. , Nor is it strange that our
fathers builded so wisely that un
worthy ambition grows restive under
the restraint this constitution imposes
on their avarice.
These are the men who today are
calling for a constitutional conven
tion. They use the men who form the
political close corporation that sucks
its existence from the credulous popu
lation it chooses to call its constitu
ency. They have no notion of im
proving the constitution.
June the 20th, the occasion of the an
nualencampment ofJtheOregon Depart'
ment of the Grand Army of the Re
public. These old soldiers are used to
hospitality and attention ' on these
occasiona We trust they will not be
disappoit ted here. Such gatherings
are a substantial benefit to a town in
the way of giving publicity to its
enterprises and resources. Oregon
City should, therefore, prove herself
an entertaining hostess. Puttingjaside
the mercenary view, the patriotism of
a people is kept aglow by its old
soldiers. We revere the memory of
out fallen dead and we are ever ready
to pay a tribute to those who have
survived the storms of shot and shell

a method available for any.amend-
ment they mny ohoose to offer. They
know also that by this method they
must submit their proposed amond
monts to a vote of the people and this
is what they sees, to avoid. Shame on
the man who by suoh indirection
seeks to rob of its political rights a
trustiug publio that has honored him
with high position ! Shame on these
men. who plot and conspire within
their master's housohold 'while the
master sleeps! May not the master
awake some day and drive these oon-
spirators out? Or have those men
ruled a trusting public so long that
it imagines itself their obedient
servants?
ihe Legislature has no power to
call a constitutional convention. If
the people will submit, however, it
will not hesitate to assume such power.

Who sooins to have plenty of time to

anticipating at the hands of Judge
Galloway.
It must have boen a revelation to
the overworked advocato to learn from
the court that there wore proper state
officers to institute proceedings for
the correction of the evils of which
he complained. But of courso to tell
his troubles to the proper officers
would not fasten the eyos of tho world
on MoMahon. The court hold that
the plaintiff must show that the act
complained of burdened him with
exoessive taxation. This showing the
loarned moiubor of the Salem bar hud
not made. It would probably be a
safe venture that he had never been
burdened witli taxation anyhow.

Kidney Trouble Slakes You Miserable,
Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of tne wonderful
cures made by Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kid

der remedy.
It is the great med
ical triumph of the
nineteenth century :

of scientific- research
by Dr. Kilmer, the
eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is wonderfully
uccessful in promptly curing lame back,
uric acid, catarrh of the bladder and
Brieht's Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you hove
kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be
found just the remedy you need. It has
been tested in so many ways, in hospital
work and in private practice, and has
proved sosuccessiui in every case inai a
special arrangement has been made by
which all readers of this paper, who have
not already tried it, may nave a sample

FRUIT LANDS IN CLACKAMAS.
Tract of 2000 Acres Near Colton to Be
Divided Into Small Farms.
Itch Ringworm.
E. T. Lucas. Winiro. Kv.. writes.
April 25, 1903 : "For 10 to 12 years
had been afflicted with a maladv
known as the 'itch. ' The itching was
most uimbearable : I had tried for
yours to find relief, ;haviug tried all
romedies I could hear of, besides a
number of doctors. I wish to state
that one application of Ballard's Snow
Liui-ueut oured me completely and
permanently. Since then I have used
tho liniment on two separate occasions
for ring worm and it cured comletely.

A plan is beintf formed bv prom
inent fruit men to take over a large
tract of land in Clackamas county,
plat it into small fruit farms and
place them on (he market. The plan
s as yet incomplete, but it is prob
able that the land will be partly
cleared in subdivisions of 40 and 80
acres and an orchard started on each
farm before it is offered for sale. The
track now wider consideration con
sists of 2000 acres, lies south of Col
ton, in UlaoKamas county, and is
owned by J. Harrison.
It is said that George H. Lam her
eon, seoretary of the state board of
horticulture, and Professor Lake of
Oorvalhs are interested in the enter
prise. Mr. Harrison was in Portland
few days ago. says the Oreeon
journal, wnen tne'idea was discussed.
It is claimed that western Oregon is
as good as any section of the state
for growing export apples. Thousands
of acres of laud olose to Portland have
been permitted to remain uncleared
and in a state of semi-wilderness,
while fruitgrowers have sought loca
tions in the valleys of the Rogue
River, John Day river and other
sections.
"There is no question in mr mind
that the country around Portland will
produoe as good export apples and
other fruits as can be grown in any
other section, " says one fruit man.
In the counties of Multnomah.
Clackamas, Columbia and Yamhill
are thousands of ares of timber lands
that have been logged over and burned
over and loft in a jungle like condi
tion. These are all fruit lands in the
best sense of the term. They will
some day be covered with orchards
and their fruits will be shipped to
New York, Chicago and to foreign
countries."

An Editor's Opinion of Royal Gorge.
Edyth Tozier Weatherred, in des
cribing a recent trip over the Denver
& Bio Grande Railroad, says in "The
Exposition:"
At last the goal of the ambition
of years has been reached marvelous,
wonderful, grand and inspiring Royal
Gorge is on either hand. The only
disappointing thing is you only have
one pair of eyes, while the train darts
in and oat of tho tremendous chasm.
If any who have never seen it are
wondering how it looks just go and
see. Thousands have tried to des
cribe it, yet every attempt falls short
of giving the subject justice."
