Library Sure to Come.
Unfortunately for the city the pro
posed public library Is not to be estab
only a iiitie later, we hope. Such in
stitutions are more of a safeguard to
a republican form of government than
all the armies that military genius can
marshal. The preservation of our re
public depends on an intelligent citi
zenship, and anarchy, revolution and
ruin will prevail when Ignorance and
prejudice and passion take the place
of intelligence and culture. '
a repuDiican iorm or government
can not exist in Russia or China be
cause of the uneducated masses.
While we scoff the idea, it is neverthe
less true, that with our immense Im
migration we might easily lapse into
the same condition of incapacity for
self rule.
It is a part of good citizenship to
realize the fact and to teach it that
education of the masses of the people
is the safeguard of our liberty. The
greatest assurance of such education
is an efficient public school system.
One of our strongest reinforcements
to our public school system is public
libraries.
Every city has its part to perform
in this matter. Oregon City in failing
to maintain a public library is not do
ing her part-she is falling short of
her duty. Let us hope that in the
very near future this view will be
taken of the subject. .
Show Appreciation.
The reorganization of the Chautau
qua Association is meeting with
abundant success. It is deserving of
this. Counted in dollars and cents it
has never been a profitable proposition
and It never will be such a success.
Such la not its mission. But in so far
as the Chautauqua Associations have
endeavored to establish high ideal and
to disseminate refined and noble ideas
they have done much toward the
achievement of their purpose.
Our local association will start in
next season with funds in the treaB
ury and unembarrassed by debt. For
this we may thank those who are ca-
pable of rlBlng above the unceasing
struggle for physical assets. These
are by nature liberally inclined. With
out them the earth would hardly be
habitable.
Let us hope now that the local pub
lic will show this instltuCVn the ap
preciation it is deserving of and that,
during the coming season, the large
crowd attendant. on the Chautauqua
program will not be made up to such
a large extent from far-away places.

Merry Christmas.
Every nation has its holidays, but
Christmas Is the one holiday observed
by all of the nations. To childhood it
has one meaning, and to manhood and
womanhood another, and to us all Its
full meaning is vague and uncertain.
The scene this day commemorates Is
one of the chapters in every life's
history, if on the eve of this eventful
day there are cheerless firesides In
view of those that are merry, and If
there are heavy hearts mingled with
those that are happy, all will turn in
memory to childhood's happy days,
and those to whom Christmas brings
no cheer may feel that

Perfect Popular
S e 1 f
Government
By ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of Statt
HE first fruits of democracy are, many of them, crude and
unlovely. Mistakes are many, partial failures are many
and sing not a few. The capacity for self government does
not come to man BT NATURE. It is an art to be
learned, as well as an expression of character to be devel
oped among the great numbers of men who exercise popular sover
eignty. .
To reach that goal toward which we are pressing forward, the gov
erning of the multitude, we must first acquire the knowledge that
cornea from UNIVERSAL EDUCATION, the wisdom which fol
lows practical experience, that personal independence and self respect
befitting men who acknowledge no superior, self control to replace that
external control which democracv reiects. RESPECT OF THE
LAW, obedience to the lawful expressions of the public will, consider
ation of the opinions and interests of others equally entitled to a voice
in the Btate, a loyalty to the abstract conceptions of one's country as
inspiring as that loyalty to personal sovereigns whicli has so illumined
the pages of history, the SUBORDINATION OF PERSONAL IN
TERESTS TO THE PUBLIC GOOD and love of justice, mercy,
iberty and order. ' All these we must seek by slow and patient effort.
No student of our times can fail to see that not America alone, but the
whole world, is swinging away from the old governmental moorings
and intrusting the fate of civilization to the capacity of the POPU
LAR MASS to govern.
tltH
Nor can we fail to see that the world is making substantial progress
toward more perfect popular self government. I believe it to be true,
viewed against the background of conditions a century, a generation,
even a decade ago, that the government of my own country has ad
vanced in the intelligent participation of the great mass of the people,
the fidelity with which they are represented, respect of the law, obedi
ence to the dictates of SOUND MORALITY and in effectiveness
and purity of admiration.
Nowhere is this progress more marked than in Latin America. Out
of the wreck of Indian fighting, race conflicts and civil wars strong and
stable governments have arisen. Peaceful succession in accord with
the people's will has replaced the forcible seizure of power PERMIT
TED BF THE PEOPLE'S INDIFFERENCE. The rule of law
supersedes the rule of man. Property is respected, individual liberty
is respected, and the national faith is held sacred. This progress has
not been equalod everywhere, but there has been PROGRESS everywhere.
tun
The present affords just cause for satisfaction, and the future i3
bright with hopo. Not by national isolation have these results been
accomplished.. No nation can livo unto itself alone and continue to
live. Tho growth of each nation is part of the development of the
RACE.
THERE MAY BE LEADERS, AND THERE MAY BE LAGGARDS,
BUT NO NATION CAN LONG CONTINUE FIRST IN THE ADVANCE
OF THE GENERAL PROGRESS OF MANKIND, AND NO NATION NOT
DOOMED TO EXTINCTION CAN REMAIN FARTHEST BEHIND.
In Praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
There is no other medicine manu
factured tliut 1ms received so much
praise and so many expressions of
gratitude rh Clmmberlaiu's Cough
Ueniedy. It is eflecite and prompt
relief follows its use. Grateful
parents everywhere do not hesitate to
testify to ita merits for the benefits
ot others. It is a certain cure for
croup and will prevent the attack if
given at the first appearance of the
disease. It is especially adapted to
children as it is pleasaut to take and
contains nothing injurious. Mr. E.
A. Humplires. a 'well known
resident and clerk in the store of Mr
E. Lock, of Alioe, Cape Colony, Sou Mi
Africa, says: "I have used Chamber
lain's Cough Reniody to ward oil
croup and colds in my family. 1 have
found it to be very satisfactory aud it
give me pleasure to recommend it."

Dyspepsia
Post-mortem statistics of the big
New York -hospitals show that
many cases of consumption are
due to the uninterrupted progress
of dyspepsia.
Especially is this true in cases
where the victim was" predisposed
to tuberculosis.
Therefore the person who al
lows dyspeptic conditions to pro
, gress unchecked is contributing
toward the development of the
most fatal disease known to man
kind. Dyspepsia wears out the body
and the brain makes the victim
thin, haggard and sallow. The
stomach, unable to digest food,
cannot supply nourishment. When
other diseases come they enter
unresisted.
L. P. Turner, 2G9 Howard
Street, Detroit, Mich., says :
"I have suffered from dys
pepsia and indigestion for several
years and it reached such a stage
that I could hold nothing on my
stomach, and immediately after
eating the lightest foods, would
be taken with a violent fit of vom
iting. I tried a great many rem
edies, but nothing helped me until
I procured a box of Kexall Dys
pepsia Tablets, when I obtained
instant relief. I am now able to
eat heavy foods and I gladly re
commend the Rexall Tablets to
anyone suffering as I did."
Don't take any chances. Cure
your dyspepsia at once. Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will do it. We
know what they are and guarantee
them to restore health, strength
and a good digestion. Twenty
five cents will buy a box big
enough for a fifteen days' trial.
Money back if you are anyway

A REASON
Rexall Remedies are
not patent medicines.
They are not secret
formulas which gain
their sale only through
the newspaper medi
um. We sell ten
times more non-advertised
Rexall Remedies
than we do of any one
advertised product in
our store. Would this
be possible if each
Rexall Remedy did
not give satisfaction
to the user?
We personally
guarantee these prep
arations to do all
that is claim ed for
them. Could we
afford to take the
chance of losing a
customerjfor we would
lose him if we did not
fulfill our agreements ?
Could we afford to
have many people
come back and get
their money? No,
frankly, we could not
our profits do not
permit o, any such
transaction. It is up
to the Rexall Reme
dies to do what we
say they will do, other
wise we will lose fi
nancially by the trans
action of guaranteeing
you your money back
if you are not satisfied".
