Mr .Brownell blandly read a letter in Jhis Molalla speech from Fred Morris, head of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, in whioh Mr. Morris expressed a aesire" ior,Mr. Brownell's re-election. " Now; .isn't it strange that the railway company should desire Mr.Brownell's election? Bat the letter was to create an im pression thatJMr. Brownell's eleotion might, in some way, prooore an exten sion of the railway into Soutnern Olackamas county. Mr. Morris was oarefnl to say no such thing. Mr. Brownell said it, bat Mr. Morris said nothing of it. Mr. Brownell promised the people of son them Clackamas county a railroad within a year and a halt. There used he be something sacred about the pledges of candidates for office. Not so under the Brownell system. Mr. Brownell said at Mil wnukie that a politician cannot keep his .promises not one twentieth of them. Put this statement and the one promising a.railroad together and, ac 001 cling to himself, it is a chance of twenty to one that he did not speak the .truth. Furthermore, there were not three men in the audience, it would be safe to venture, who did not know that Mr. Brownell in this, as he is.in everything else, was absolutely insiucore. It is well known that Mt. Morris announced in an interview in the Evening Telograra that it was no part of the company'splan and never had been, to extend its line southward , from Oregon City. , ' But why does the 0. W. P. Co. champion the oaase of Mr. Brownell? Why do all the railroads? Why do the great corporations send him forth with a big campaign fund? Oh, juBt because he's "(he poor man'g friend. " KEEP THE BANKERS OUT. The oontest for the Republican nom ination of State Treasurer has plainly narrowed down to ThoB. F. Ryan, County Judge of Clackamas Couuty ; Ralph Hoyt. i Portland banker and E. V. Garter, a Southern Oregon banker. Looking at the question as it now stands, an issue of great concern confronts the people, of the state, inns aiuoh as it is appaie'nt that the bank ing interests of Oregon are making a desperate effort to soouro control of the public funds. What is the mean ing of this? Have the banks advance information of a coming money strin gonoy? If this is the situation then it is possible to understand why the bankers' "inner circle" is bending every sinew to laud one ot their num ber in the State Treasurer's offloe. 1 The money under the care of the State Treasurer,, inoluding the public school fund, is an immense sum. If it can be nsod, in time of a money pauio.Ito bolster up banks tottering cn the verge of bankruptcy, the bankers may now well expend a handsome for tune to get control of the state money. Th 1b is good, enough for the banks but how about'imperilinglthe hard earned contribution of every taiupayer to the running expensesot the state as well as the public school fund? s There is naothor side to it. The Sec retary of State is vory likely to be a Salem bankev Should we have a banker for Secretary of State and a banker for State Treasurer, these two would absolutely control the loaning of the stateschool fund. ThiB fund is loaned on mortgngo, at the rate of 6 por cent and eooured by hundreds of farms in every county of the state. Should the fund, instead of being loaned out as it conies in, be kept in the stat treasury, interast on money would advauoo two or three per cent. Then would ooiuo the bankers' harvest and the borrowers' trouble. As men who lived through the panic of ton years ago know well, a high rate of interest with brokerago added means the auction block for many and many a farm. Now is the time to be wide awatte keep the school fund away from bank manipulation. It is the balance hool that regulates the inter est rate in this stato. We do business on the credit system Jud dear money for the borrower and hard times for . all of us, except bankers and brokers intionohed behind a large 'reserve fuud, walk hand in'haud. Would the bankers and brokers like to keep (the 6 per cent school money loaned out or would thoy profoi to have it hoarded up and deposited with favorite bank ing institutions. Answer for your self. The nnited effort of the bankers seems to be to defeat Judge Ryan and to land some one of their number in the State Treasurer's oflloe. Hoyt, of Portland, is a bank or ; Carter, of Ashland, is a banker; Atkin, of Hunt- ington, is a banker. But the great mass.of the voters of the state of Ore gon are not bankers and every vote cast in the April primary is going to count in ithis struggle. The vote for nomination of State Treasurer should be cast with a full realization of the situation. A HOT RACE. The Republicans of Clackamas county and , President House ve It are running a tight race. The Republi canssome of tbem are trying to get Mr. Brownellinto thetate senate tie fore Roosevelt gets him into the jug. The precinct that rolls up a major ity, for this man will have something to be proud of for a long time. If such a thing should happen in many localities e will begin to feel that the dozen or so of Oregon's very prom inent men, iiidicted for crimes against the government, and, so far as tried, in each instance proven guilty, are about on a par with Clackamas county citizenship The common crook, when convicted, gets the fimit. lay fourteen years, for a pair of shoes ; the gentleman crook, such as Congressm n Williamson, Hermann, etc., for making away with a snug fortune, gets a few mouths in jail whioh he never serves. But the gentleman crook suffers no moral odium he may gain hiB liberty on furnishing bail and come before the pople for.'an office of honor and trust. Oregon is standing nobly baca of President, Roosevelt Clackamas county especially. It is quite a com pliment to him'for this county to be thrusting forward the men Jhe has been tryingto'clean out of ,the public service. Lord, give us light ! ! t NOTHING PERSONAL. In urging the people of Olaokamas county to use sound, honest judg ment in the selection of all candi dates for office, no matter what party they may represent, this paper is not asking for something of particular ad vantage to itself. As part and t parcel of the community The Courier wishes to do what Jwhut might be expected of a good citizen that is, to labor dil igently to arouse the thoughtless and inconsiderate to a realization of their duty. And The Courier does not underes timate the mental calibre of those among whom it'circulates. There are a few who do not fully understand the political situation 'in Clackamas county. But constant urging may bring about a unity of effort along certain lines. Now this paper has nothing to say as to whom the Republican party in Claokaniasoounty should place at the head of its ticket, so long as it does not attempt to foistup on the people men notoriously unfitjfor any place in public life and men whose .endorse ment is a stinging disgrace to.a whole community. Ability oonnts for 'nothing when oouplod with flagrant dishonesty. John Wilkos Booth was a man of splendid ability, linc'accomplishments and of an affable, gwinni'ig 'dinpoBi tion ; but the best use he could make of these enviable gifts was the murdor of good old Abraham Lincoln. Aaron Burr was a statesman of the highest rank, a man who lackedgbut a vote in the eleotoral college of being chosen President of "the UnitodJStates; his was a wasted and dospistrd life spent in the quest of self aggrandizement. Benedict ' Arnold was Washington's trusted ; and highly estemeed goneral. HiB genius and talent, rightly applied, might oftsily have placed him at the head of the Nation. But this despi cable man was the more despised be cause the great talent with whioh he had "been endowedjwas prostituted to base,' ignoble and dastardly uses. A man of.small ability, Javery ordinary man, no matter , how base his acts, wonld not have gone downjin history as the most despised and hated of men. It is misapplied genius that makes your Benedict Arnolds. ThiB is'.a time in which the country needs the activity of itf- best citizen ship. It is jio time for. potty preju dices. Men need not Lask the ques tionis one man as bad as another? The quostiouis, what will be tho ulti mate result if this man be nominated? What if the other man be nominated? Look to the rest It and do what, in yonr mind, will bring about that de sired result. To support a mau or men rospousi bio for an objectionable condition is to endorso the action of the man or num. They are then 'justified in rt -peatiug the offense for tho people in the first instance approved and en dorsed them by a re-election FIRE TRAPS IN CITV. Commissioners Will Look After Existing Conditions. Mayor Cauflold lias couoluded to hold stated meetings of the Board of Fire Commissioners and the result will probably cause a stir in business oiroles, as several of the members ar kcown to be advocates ot reform along the line ot betterments in proteotiou from fire There are a number of places in the city that are voritable fire traps, and steps will be taken to correct these evils. Snie years ago the city had a fire l:mit, but the ordinance was repealed, as it contained inequalities, but a sentiment has again appeared for a new lire limit ordinance, which will probably be sprung at a council meet ing in the near future. During th past five years several wooden build ings have been erected in the center of the buoiness portion of the sity, and unuer some conditions a firei fanned by a high wind, would prob ably aweep along the whole of Main street of the city. Road Company Elects Officers. The annual meeting of the Mount Hood & Barlow Road Company whs held Monday in the parlors of th Bank of Oiegon City, and the follow ing offloers were elected : Mrs. M. 0. Moore, president; Elijah Coalman, vice-president and superintendent; Charles H. Canfield, secretary ; E. Q. Can field, treasurer. NEED OF BETTER SCALES. R. Petzold Tells Why Butchers Buy Meat la Portland. "Better scales are needed in Oregon City," says Richard Petzold, a local butcher, who annually buys thousands of pounds of meat. "I find," he con tinued, "a disposition ou the part of many of the farmers of Clackamas county, who have stock to sell, to criticize butchers in Oragon City for buying meat in Portland and I want to say that there is only on i reason for this and I will illustrate by say ing that a few dayB bro I bought a herd of cattle from John R. Shaver, and these were the finest lot killed in this section lor a long time. It is n well known fact that Mr. Shaver is the beBt feeder in the county, but the weight of the herd on the hoof was 15,200 pounds, while they weighed after beiug dressed, only 7352 pounds or nearly 600 pounds below half of the live weight. This is remarkable, as it is well known that tho average cat tle will dress from 56 to 58 per cent. "I have been buying stock in Clack amas and Yamhill counties for 13 years and until someone establishes a good scale here-, that stock-raiser9 will bo willing to use, the butchers will be compelled to buy outside." 'Dr. Thomas' Eolectrio O'l is the best remedy for that often fatal dis ease croup. Has been used with suc cess in our family for eight years." Mrs. L. Whitoacre, Buffalo, N. Y. THE COUNTY'S DEAD.

When the maker of a medicine, sold through druggists for family use, takes his patlonts fully into his confidence by frankly and feiirlossly publishing broad cast us well as on its bottle wrappers, a full list of all its ingredients in plain Eiitjluih, this action on his part is the best possible evidence that he Is not afraid to have tho search light of inves tigation turned full upon his formula and that It will bear the fullest scrutiny and tho most thorough investigation. Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription for the euro of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the or pr.ns distinctly feminine, is the only medi cine put up for aule through druggists for woman's special use, the maker of which Is not afraid to tul;o his patients Into his full confidence by such open and honest publicity. A glance at Iho published ingredients on eae'i liottlo wrapper, will show that It U made wholly from native, American, medicinal r iots, that It contains no poi sonous or habit-forming drugs, no nar cotics and no alcohol pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength being used l:r tea.l of the commonly employed nlco hoi, both for extracting and preserving tho active medicinal properties found In tho roots of the American forest plants employed. It is tho only medicine for women's pocnlar diseases, sold by drug gists, that does not contain n largo per centage of alcohol, which is In tho long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv ous svstem. Xow, glycerine is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purposo by possessing intrinsic value all its own, and besides ri enhances the curative t'.Tect of the other Ingredients entering Into tho "Favorito Prescription." Some of tho ablest medical writers and teachers endorso these views and praiso all the several ingredients of which "Fa vorite Prescription" is composed rec ommending them for the cure of tho very same diseases for which this world famed medicino Is advised. -No other medicine for women has anv such vro fcnUml endorsement worth more tnan any numlH-r of ordinary testimonials.

Doctors have preached against it, Brk. ishers have written scathing articles about it. wives and mothers - have crusaded against it and yet the deadly hurry up lunch " marches on. The fascinating doughnut, the alluring 1 ''sinker," the irresistible, triangle of foundry pie, washed down by gulps of . cold milk.or hot coffee or iced water, continue on thelr deadly way to the stomachs of thousands and thousands of America's hustling, capable, world-conquering business men. In all probability we will be unable to wipe out the " hurry-up ' lunch for many : years to come, but we can at least combat; ; the evils wrought by the pructice. . Our ', recipe is simple, ecanomical and effective. Buy a package of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets; carry theM In your pocket; and as the last gulp of milk chases the last chunk of refractory pie down your essophagus, swallow one tablet.'
