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.

Mr. Otto A. Fleissner, American Epicurean, late Chef to Col. W. J. Coady,

"I suffered with kidney and bladder trouble until life did not seem
worth living. I had tried many medicines, but did not get any re
lief until I tAok Peruna, It was really wonderful how much better I
was after I had used this medicine only a week. I did not expect that it
would help me permanently, lut as long as it was doing me good I con
tinued to use it. At the end of six months I found to my relief that it
had rid my system of all poisons, and that I was cured to stay c;red. You

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
