Iftbls notion is marked yonrsubsciiptlon is due SOME CANDIDATES. Three candidates have declared them selves for the Reptibl'can nomination for congress S. B. Huston, of Hills boro: W. O. Hawley, of Salem, and W. L. Tooze, ot Woodbnrn. These men ask to be honored with a place of publio trust and in so doing ira pliedly consent that the record of their lives be spread before the pnblio. The duty falls upon the press of every poii ical persuasion to f Ornish the pnblio with honest information res pecting the qnalicfiations and fitness of these men for the position to which they aspire. So far no open charges have been made against Mr. Huston or Mr. Hawloy. It will be time to consider them if they should be made, after tliey have become pnblio. But Mr. Tooze is publicly charged with insincerity, duplicity and incon sistency. Docs he on occasion assail the chief city of the state in the bit terest terms at his command and on another, when kindly words will bet ter please his hearers, does lie land this same city to the skies? Is ho the champion of whatever section he hap pens to be seeking votes in, there de nouncing the avarice and unfairness of other sections of the state? This is the part of a demagogue. If Mr Tooze is this sort of a man l.e is such a in tin us others who have held high stations in state affairs but the people are asking for a different class of men now. Mr. Tooze's moral titnoss for so re ponsible a position has been chal lenged. The publio are entitled to nssurances on this point. It may be true that lie wbb captured in a raid on a gambling joint. If this habit is an absorbing passion, its pursuit will not leave any man sufficient time to at tend to the atduous duties imposed upon a member of Coneress. But on this occasion Mr. Tooze may have been a mere spectator. If there iB an erronoous impression out on thi? point he will correot it. But there is an immense amount of work in store for Oregon's next Congressman. The dis triot should select a man whose time has beou bettor spent than in hanging around boer halls aud gambling "joints." Mr. Toce's reputation is shady along this line. If the report iB not borne out by the facts in the case Mr. Tooze should sot the public right. ' MR. MYERS AND SOCIALISM. The Oourior will not. at this time, engage in a controversy over the So cialistic doctrine. Our effort shall be to get the best that may be had under the present order of things. We be lieve that this is a time that calls for men clean, honest, strong men. Party worship has beetfenrriod too far we want men I Mr. Myers should and no doubt would want the mostJVuipable man in his community for road boss. Not the most capable "Socialist" but the most capable man. He would want the same for the head of the state and for the head of the Nation. Are Mr. Myers and.otbers ,of his persuasion, while engaged in promulgating un tried and as we believe, impractical theories, going to permit the most worthless and incompetent men to step into these places? We are going to sputid our effort in keeping unlit men of any and all political beliefs out of places ot pnblio trust. But the columns of The Courier are open to Mr. Myers aud to all others to disouss this or ny other question of publio interest.. The matter we prize most highly and the matter we be lieve most wolcomo to Courier readers is that which comes from local cor tospodneiits. Wo wiBh that more of our Jiblo citizens would opxross themselves on questions of current in terost through the colnmus ot tin local papers. One of the purposes ol the local paper iB to bring the mem bers of the community in which it oironhites, in closer touch with one another. CAN HE DO IT? A promiiiuut citizen of Oregon was heard to remark that Olnckamae oounty is in a state of moral degener acy. This is uot true, but it iB the impression that one man has created throughout the state by assorting that he could take a pocket full of money and vote any precinct in the county for a wooden mau. He is going to try it next April. . It is pleasant to think that this man can go out with the overflowing purse supplied him by the corporations he serves and buy up enough votes to keep him in office. It would be good enough to feel this way about it, but for him to deolare his ability to do it and then demonstrate it this too much. But we shall see. ' IS IT VOU? Did you prosper in your business last year? Just remember that pub licity is absolutely essential to busi ness success. There 's no better method of becoming known to the public than through the columns of the newspaper. With the beginning of the new year determine ou a system of advertising . It doesn't pay to jump at this notion and that make your business and your method of g ttirg it before the publio a stuny. This is not intended for the man with the over flowing bank account. Ho has hisses t ;m of advertising and pursues it relig iously. This is for the man who bal anced up his books on the 31st day of Docember fonnd the debit side of the ledger larger than the credit side, an overdraft . in his cash account aud went home Bt 12 o'clock M. to his customary nightmare. THE NEW YEAR. We are on the threshhold of the new year. Extravagant resolutions will be remembered but little longer than the while we are making them. But it is not a bad idenFJto indulge an hour in a reflective mood to review in memory the year just passed and to consid er the mistakes that occasioned loss and misfortune j they may be of profit in the years to come. We should all have one standing resolution, namely, to do our best. When we have stood by this one, other resolution will be unnecessary. BIG BOQUETS ARE TOSSED Continued from page 1 ing of said bridge under the terms ot the proposition of court accepted by the petitioners; this is all there is in relation to the Burton bridge, and simply summed up means that as yet the said petitioners have not been able to get the amount subscribed nec essary to meet the cost of said bridge over and above the amouut of $((X)0 agreed b.v the court to be set aside for that project. From this you cull see that the bridge project vuu not de teated or its building prevented by any person. "Were it not that Jim's reputation as a joker and story-teller is so well known aud established, the inforuiu t ion that he claims to have relative to the AWi'UL state of repair of the bridges of the county, I would be niuoli alarmed aud feel that our thirty six road supervisors were almost crim inally negligent in not immediately repairing said bridges or reporting their deplorable condition to the court ; what lntormatoiu that we have been able to secure from our road supervis ors andgthe bridge carpenters and en giueors timt we liave had examine the numeious bridges of the county, lenT us to behove that all of the bridges in the county, with the excep tiou ot the little one across Tryou ureet between uregon Uity and Os wego (which by the way will be en tirely rebuilt within two mouths), were in lim class condition ; but of oourse these reports are made by in terestea parties, ana uiav not be as reliable 'as that whioh reaches our seoretary ot the Board of Trade. As to the road i roller being shipped by boat at great expense, this beiuu the first I had heard about that, 1 suppose that it must refer to the fact that the road roller being on the Sliinley road above Oswego, aud it ' beiug needed below JUWwaukie: we had it oross the ferry" at Sellwood, it being much nearer than coming around br Ore gon City, but the ferry beiug free, t e expense was as small as the truth of the statement of its being shipped through fear of the bridges. "The fepairs tii bridges aud new ones constructed the last year cost the county soiu. thing over $24,000. "Mr. Campbell states timt more mouey was collected us taxes the hist two vears in the county tbuii in pre vious years, and tries to leave the inference timt it was on account of emiuly expenditures, while lie mid tiiery intelligent and well iuforimd nan in the stito and county knows tout the state tax the last twoytaia was nearly double that of previous years, and that the school tax is more than two and one-quarter times is large, while tl.e amount levied aim eolleeted for county purposes was not quitu two-thirds as large. "1 niu very sorry also to in to that the roads constructed during the liit i le.v vuars are not satisfactory to flu worthy secretary ot the Bouru'of Trade and trust that in the future our road builders and engineers, noting tnis dissatisfaction, will stnv to uo bet ter. I think we all realize that under our present system of road work, it is almost iniiossil.le to get the ideal road, but my experience has led me. to bolieve that our c.tiz. us who do the building or making ot the roads are as earnest and conscientious lu their work as those who criticize them, and that our engineers, Hon J W. Meldrum, K P. Hands and D. W. Kiuuiard are as uompeteut as any in the state, as are also W. 11 Cuuusell and Mr. Moody, who have had the construction ot our permanent roudt in charge during the past few years. "I do not think that personal mat ters should be subjicts ot discus.-iou even by Boards of Trade, so will over look the insinuation made bv niv worthy fellow Board of Trade man relative to travelling over the state and assure him that I ' found both pleasure and profit in attending the Good Roads Association meetings in renaieton, urants rass, Eugene, Corvallis and Salem during the last year and one half, and will Drobablv attend the same in the future even if they are held as far away from home as tne said cities. " NEW CROSSINGS ARE NEARLY COMPLETED Subways and Steps Connect- in With Bluff and South End Road. City Engineer Ernest P. Bands gave out the information TupRday that the new crossings which have been under construction by the Southern Pacifio Company for the past six months, would probably be completed at the end of this week and turned over to the oity. The crossings include steel steps running from Seventh and Eighth streets, joining the old Seventh streot steps about half way up, a team subway at Third street, connecting with the South End road, and a pe destrian subway at Fourth street, con necting with the Fourth street steps. The object of these new crossings is to allow the railroad company unin terrupted traffic along Railroad ave nue. When the crossings are opened for travel, it will no longer be neces sary to uncouple cars when trains are standing to permit pedestrians to cross the tracks. IT IS MAYOR CAUFIELD.

Catarrh f the Kidneys a Common Disease Kidney Trouble Often Falls to Be Regarded as Catarrh by Physicians. Catarrh of the kidneys is very com mon indeed. It is a pity that this fact Is not better known to the physicians as as well as to the people. People have kidney disease. Thoy take some diuretic, hoping to get better. They never once think of catarrh. Kid ney disease and catarrh are seldom as sociated in the minds of the people, and, alas, they are not very often associated , in the minds of the physicians. Too few physicians recognize catarrh PE-RU-N4 CURES CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS. Of the kidneys. They doctor for some thing else. They try thi-, remedy and that remedy.
