STATEMENT The money used In Oregon to carry the State against Statement No. 1, will not be raised to any large extent, In Oregon. There Is great fear that popular election of Senators will spread to other States. In such event It might be hard for the various great industrial and railway corporations and other great financial aggregations to own their respective quotas of Sen ators. The United States senate might really become a branch of the people's government No, it is abso lutely necesaary that these big capi talistic organizations own the United States Senate and this hobby of the people that they would like to elect Senators must be nipped In the bud. There is every reason to believe that hundreds of thousands of dollars are to be used during the next month in overthrowing the amendment to our constitution commonly known as Statement No. 1, and that this money comes largely from outside sources. If the next legislature can be made up of men not in harmony with State ment No. 1, the trick is done. 0r privilege of electing United States Senators will then be a thing of the past. Thb people, helpless, Irrespon- Bible, must be prevented from doing themselves Injury. It Is absolutely necessary that the politicians become their guardians. This taste of real political liberty has become a danger ous thing. Under Borne pretense or other the people s privileges of elect ing the Senator must be won back from them. If a candidate subscribes to State ment No. 1, all he will have to do to ward the election of a Senator will be to ratify In the legislature the rending disaster of Colllnwood will sink deep Into the memory of all those on whom the life and security of assemblages of persons depends. From it a sad lesson is learned at terrible expense. TO BE VOTED ON IN JUNE. To Increase the annual appropriation to the State University to $125,000. To require railroads to Issue passes to all state, county and district offi cials, To appropriate $100,000 for national guard armories To give sheriffs exclusive control of county prisoners. To increase the number of judges of the supreme court from three to five (by legislature). To give political parties proportion ate representation in the legislature.

The organiza tion will number 62 artists, the in strumentation being beautifully bal anced. Four vocalists will add to the strength of the organization among them being the well known oratorio singer, Arthur Middieton. The pro gram repertoire will be exceedingly generous and notable as to the com posers represented. RAILROAD REGULATION LATION. LEGIS peoples choice.

If he is unwilling to subscribe to Statement No. 1. for some reason or other, he doesn't want the people to elect Unit ed States Senators. The only reason that such a man may occasionally be elected, the people permit themselves to be humbugged. Let every citizen who believes in the right of self gov ernment and who believes in doing away with the corruption that has in fested Oregon politics make a last and winning fight for Statement No. 1. The great privilege first enjoyed by the people of Oregon will not be consid ered a fixed and established right until it wins a great and decisive tri umph. As long as there is hope of its overthrow the politicians will be constantly seeking means of accom pllshing Its destruction. the legislature to $400 for each regu lar session, and $10 per day for each extra session, instead of $3 per day and mileage. Section 28 provides the time when laws take effect, and the proposed amendment is therefore wrongly numbered. ELECTING U. 8. SENATORS. THE COLLINWOOD FIRE. Terrible disasters and appalling ca lamities must acompany the uesent progressive age. There is so much to be done our people are in such a hurry, it Is dash and enterprise with scarcely time for food or sleep. We are such a busy people that we take no thought or care for the future it is a most reckless pace we pursue in this strictly commercial age. But whatever calamities may over take us or whatever disaster may causa a momentary halt in the mad rush, there has been no disaster in recent years so pathetically distress ing as the burning of the Colllnwood school in Ohio which cost the lives of more than 1G0 little children and terrible injury to many more. These little tots were so helpless their Argument may be found for any cause. When argument is so mmsy however, that it can not poslbly carry conviction the cunning advocate takes a new tackle; he appeals to prejudice. Such is the policy now being pursued by opponents to the popular election of United States Senators. They know the people dearly cherish the great prerogative and that they would not knowingly give It up. But there is hope that the issue may be blinded and that a clever play on the preju dices may get us back to the old bood- llng system that . corupt politicians fattened on. There will be candidates for the legislature who will promise to vote for the man receiving the highest RE PUBLICAN vote for United States Senator. These same candidates pro fess to believe In the popular election of the Senator. They don't believe in anything of the kind. They believe In the election of the Senator by the Legislature and various men have various reasons for wishing to place this matter in the hauds of the Legis lature. If we are intimately acquaint ed with the man we can usually form a fairly accurate reason for his wish ing to turn the election of Senator over to the Legislature, lr we are not acquainted with the man we will have to guess at his reason and we "The Interstate Commerce Commis sion," says President Roosevelt, in his special message, "should be pro vided with a means to make a physi cal valuation of any road as to which it deems this valuation necessary." Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, has introduced in the Senate a bill providing for the physical valuation of railroads. This bill has been re ferred by the Committee of Interstate Commerce to the Interstate Commerce Commission for its opinion. The Com mission Is on record as favoring leg islation along this line. What action the Committee on Interstate Com merce and the Senate will take re mains to he seen. Some discussion of the subject In the Senate may be looked for. President Roosevelt further says in his message: "When combinations of interstate railways must obtain Government sanction; when it is no longer possi ble for an interstate railway to issue stock or bonds, save in the manner approved by the Federal Government; when that Government makes sure that the proceeds of every stock and bond issue go into the improvement of the property and not the enrichment of some individual or syndicate; when, whenever it becomes material for guidance in the regulative action of the Government, the physical value of one of these properties is determined and made known there will be elimi nated from railroad securities that el ement of uncertainty which lends to them their speculative quality and which has contributed much to the financial stress of the recent past." Of all the legislation relating to common carriers engaged in inter state commerce, the most likely meas ure to receive proper consideration in the first session of the COth Con gress will be one giving the Interstate Commerce Commission authority to ad vise' stock and bond Issues and to see to it that the proceeds from the sale thereof are devoted to the Improve ment of the property and "not the enrichment of some individual or syndicate." A bill of this character will be in troduced In the House by the chair man of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, to which com mittee It will be referred. to result in serious financial reverses to those engaged In these important industries. This is especially true in the hop yards throughout the willam ette Valley, in the fruit fields of the ogue River Valley and Hood River, and in the vicinity of Freewater, in which localities fruit, berries and veg etables are extensively grown. In any of these places, a typhoid fever epidemic arising at harvest time, which is the most likely season, would undoubtedly Interfere greatly if not entirely prohibit the disposal of their products. Numerous other sections of the State are similarly situated, and it is the Intention of the State Health Board to issue a special bulletin at the proper season, dealing with the hygiene and sanation of such districts both for the protection of those em ployed and for the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases through contamination by filthy surroundings or filthy handling.

How much better a little vigil ance, a little tlioughtfuluess in an ticipation of such happenings. It would seem that the terrible holocaust In the Chicago theatre a couple of years ago would have been a sufficient warning to prevent a like occurrence. But these terrible lessons are soon forgotten. Let us hope that the heart OREGON'S BIGGEST MUSICAL FES TIVAL.

Extensive preparations are being mado for tho April festival of the Chi cago Symphony Orchestra at the Ar mory, in Portland, April 10, 11, 12. The festival will last over three days and in that time oratorios, contatas, orchestral symphonies and instru mental and vocal solos will be given tho public. Sovernl of Chicago's prominent singers will acompauy tho orchostra, among them Genevlevi Clark Wilson, soprano, and Mrs. Rose Lutlgor-Gannon, contralto. Among the foremost contraltos in the middle west, none occupies a more prominent posi tion that Mrs. Lutlger-Gannon. She has had the advantage of studying with the best teachers in this coun try and Europe and has just returned fresh from her studios with tho great artist, Jean Do Rezolie. Mrs. Ganno's voice Is remarkable for its richness and beauty. She has an unusual range, and sings with won derful stylo and finish. Her inter pretations give utmost satisfaction and leave nothing to bo desired. Mrs. Gannon has appeared with most of the prominent musical clubs In the country. The Chicago symphony orchestra was organized by Charles Beach In 1839, with Adolph Rosenbecker as con ductor. Sixty concerts were given in the United States, followed by a fes tival tour through Canada. So suc cessful were these festivals, artisti cally and financially, that a string fes tival tour was made ni'xt season ex tending from Montreal, Canada, to San Antonio, Texas. Since that time, eight annual tours have been made by this organization, and tho th'ee-ray musical festivals of St. Paul, Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake city and Galveston, have become known for their musical excellence, nnd great financial ami artistic results. In Canada, the Chicago symphony orchestra has filled many important engagements, and each year gives a series of 18 concerts in a "Cycle of British Musical Festivals," extending from Halifax to Vancouver under the direction of Sir Alexander McKenrle. Many of the leading musical cities and festival centers have been visit ed each season until In each city tho attendance has become so gratifying: Few realize what an Important part electricity plays in the work about the modern church edifices. There Is considerable work constantly required about a church building and the clean, noiseless, efficient and economical electric motors do this work better than any other power in the world. The great pipe organs use motor pow er for the air compressors; the ven tilating fans are motor-driven; the carpets are swept with vacum clean ers; the building is lighted with hun dreds of electric lights. The new First Baptist church of Worcester, Mass., is electrically equip ped throughout. The lighting of this large building has been worked out on systematic principles and the incan descent lamps have been artistically arranged for effects which could be produced by no other kind of illumn nant. No sharp or direct rays of light fall upon the eye from any position. Five motors, aggregating 30 h. p. do the work about this church. The largest motor, ten horse-power, drives a fan in connection with the heating system and assures an even tempera ture throughout the large auditorium. The organ blower is operated by an eight-horse power motor, and a fan for the ventilation of the laboratories Is driven by a four horse-power motor. The instalaltion of a vacum cleaning system, driven by a four horse-power motor, makes it unnecessary to use brooms or sweepers to keep the build ing clean. The cost of cleaning has thus been greatly reduced in compari son with the old methods of doing the work by hand. Another Interesting motor applica tion Is the operation of a wood, can vas and asbestos curtnln between the main auditorium and the Sunday school room. This curtain Is about thirty-five feet wide and thirty feet high, weighing about three tons. Tho motor will raise this curtain noise lessly in loss than half a minute. The motor installations require little at tontlon nnd the church is in no way Injured, even in appearance, by these five applications of electric power. Much has been said and printed rel ative to the combine which was made the past year in which the big circus es of this country were amalgamated. Before Norris and Rowe entered into the arrangement, they gave the sub ject great thought. It has been their aim always to give the public a clean, moral, refined performance, and that they succeeded in this is best illustrat ed by their past success. Wishing to give the public more for its money each year has been a constant prob lem that they have worked on inces santly. When the powers that be of the big combine approached Norris & Rowe and invited them to participate in the benefits to be derived from the union, they gaves matter further con sideration. After so doing they saw a way clear in the Baving of vast sums of money that had been wasted In use less warfare for territory, and In divers other ways to increase in size, and in the general excellence of their enter tainment. By the agreement entered Into, the Barnum and Bailey circus, will make the New England states; the Sells-Forepaugh circus has been retired from service entirely; the Ringling Bros, will make the middle west and Southern states, and the Greater Norris and Rowe circus has been given the territory west of the Rockies. The trust has a special representa tive in each of the big cities of Eu rope booking the big sensational acts; securing the strangest freaks, and rare animals. These acts and novel ties are equally distributed among the three big circuses. The Greater Nor ris and Rowe circus has been enlarged to such an extent this year that it is now on a par with the other big Bhows In the combine. Their engagement In San Francisco this winter which ex tended over a month, was the most successful ever played by a tented exhibition in the history of the west. KNOCKS THE NAVY MR. VOTER. Do you think the man who seeks election to the legislature really intends to represent YOU if he refuses to sign the following: Statement No. 1. "I further state to the people of Ore gon, as well as to the people of my legislative district, that during my term of office I will always vote for that candidate for United States sen ator In congress who has received the highest number of the people s votes for that position at the general elec tion next preceding the election of a senator in congress, without regard to my individual preference." An unkind contemporary refers to Representative Bourke Cockran as a "political doodle-bug." It would have been much more dignified and accur ate to refer to him as a political pin wheel. And it would be pretty hard to keep track of his revolutions at that. The fact that there have been no recent estimates pn the increased cost of the Panama canal ought to go somewhat toward restoring financial confidence. There is nothing particularly edi fying in the investigation that has been going on this week before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs. The thing all came up through the magazine article written some months ago by Henry Reuterdahl, a naval artist, who made the discovery that everything was all wrong with the Navy. Mr. Reuterdahl Is not a naval expert, not a war ship constructor. nor anything In that line. He is mere ly an artist who has done a good deal of ship drawing and ship painting and who in the course of his work has been thrown into contact with many naval officers, each of whom has some particular hobby as is only natural with men of any profession who are Interested in their work. Some of these officers, In perfectly good faith probably, declared that the American warships carried their armor belt too low. Others thought that the ships did not have enough freeboard, others thought that the ammunition hoists could be improved and others thought that the turrets were not properly protected. All these points are tech nical matters that furnish subjects of discussion for the naval boards of ail the great powers, and all of them have been figured out in the light of the best naval construction with each sucessive warship that the American navy has built. But Mr. Reuterdahl bunched all of the criticisms and made it appear that the whole Ameri can Navy was fit for little but the scrap heap. Therefore the Senate Committee on naval affairs has had numerous witnesses before it, Ad miral Converse, Admiral Capps and a number of others, all of whom have agreed that the charges of bad con struction are unfounded. It was not till the committee got before It Com mander Sims this week that they found anyone to agree with Mr. Reuterdahl. Commander Sims said that all of the charges brought against the navy were true beside many others that had not been brought. He said that American sailors did not know how to shoot In spite of the fact that they now hold most of the gun recordB of the world. And he said other things of the same sort. But as soon as he started in to say disagreeable things the committee shut him up as though they were afraid of finding out some thing. This did not seem very good either. If there is anything in the charges against the navy, It ought to be brought out. That is what the in vestigating committee is for. If the charges are untrue, they will be easi ly disproved. The comments of Com mandsr Sims sound on the face of them like unreasonable criticism, but the Naval Committee is never going to get at the truth by shutting up the witness and not allowing him to talk. The subject needs to be threshed Cut and the more publicly the better. A SOLDIER'S FAREWELL. It Is reported that a ship has just arrived at Boston, carrying 20,000 bushels of beans. Beans to Boston makes a variety in the metaphorical alliteration of "coals to Newcastle." A Georgia journal says, "Col. John Temple Graves has beat It to the land of milk and honey." What probably was meant was the land of mint and money. , With all the free advertising it has received in the past year and a half, It certainly seems as though Browns ville ought to be able to start some thing that would pay.

Every year an appreciable number of typhoid fever cases are reported arising in hop fields and fruit farms during picking season, and, so far as is possible to trace the origin of these cases they arise from lack of sanitary conditions in the hop yard or fruit farm or from impure water or milk. Such conditions, if allowed to con tinue, are not only dangerous to those employed, but are liable at any time It remains to be seen whether Uncle Joe Cannon is as successful in shepperdlng convention delegates as he is in running Congress to suit his own book. Women as Well ds Men Are Mado Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessensanibition ; beauty, vigor ana cheertul. ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased, . Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncorn moil for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of thediffi. culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidnev and bladder trouble, and both need tiie same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

We don't ask any favors from you; you may do the worst you can, For congress can't make a gentleman where God has failed on man, Away with all this talk, it's bad air, dry and warm, Those common gags about respect that s due the uniform, When shoulder Btraps can make man loose half his little head, And make him Joke the holiness that wraps his country's dead, Yet still we will salute you, and we'll say "yes, sir," too, But we salute the shoulder straps we would not speak to you. You're lower than a buzzard picking flesh from bones. You're farther down beneath us than a dog a Molo owns, When the flag is on our coffins you'll tell the band to play, That good old rag time hymnal, "You are Always in the Way." You have stolen from the dead man the last solemn funeral rite, You have put a daub of mud on the flag for which we fight, You ain't disgracing the service, but you know you have at least. Showed how little man was in you, and how near you were a beast. Few men who hold commissions would tell the band to play, The rag time dance hall music when a soldier is laid away. You're unjust, Mr. Officer, I don't know what's your name, Nor who it was who raised you, but you're wicked just the same, I hope they'll weed the service soon, of all such men as you, I will give the service credit now of havln' very few. Shame on the man who wears the straps and tells the band to play, At the funeral of a soldier, "You are Always in the Way." PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. 2. Dr. Hartman has claimed for many years that Peruna is an EXCELLENT CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor's oritics have disputed the doctor's claim at to the efficacy of Feruna. Since the ingredients of Peruna are no longer a secret, what do the medi cal authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed? Take, for Stance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OR GOLDEN SEAL The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonio dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvio organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, CORYDALIS FORMOSA; is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tomo. CEDR0N SEEDS is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE FOUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORES. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonio and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE. OIL OF COPAIBA, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys entery and diarrhea, and some chronio diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredients of Peruna are held by all writers on the subject, including Bartholow and Scudder. . OF HYDRASTIS, BARTHOLOW SAYS it is applicable to stomatitis (catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouth), follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), chronio coryza (catarrh of the head). This writer classes hydrastis as a stomachio tonic, useful in atonio dyspepsia (chronic gastric catarrh), catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the gall duct, catarrh of the intestines, catarrh of the kidneys (chronio Bright's disease), catarrh of the' bladder, and catarrh of other pelvio organs. BARTHOLOW REGARDS COPAIBA as an excellent remedy for chronic catarrh of the bladder, chronio bronchitis (catarrh of the bronchial tubes). BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUBEB, an ingredient of Peruna, pro motes the appetite and digestion, increases the circulation of the blood. Use ful in chronio nasal catarrh, follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of the throat. It also re lieves hoarseness. Useful in atonio dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in chronio catarrh of the colon and rectum, catarrh of the bladder, prostatorrhea, and chrbnio bronchial affections. MILLSPAUGH, MEDICINAL PLANTS, one of the most authoritative works on medicinal herbs in the English language, in commenting upon COLLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, says that it acts on the pneumogastrio and vaso motor nerves. It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in general In the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina, collinsonia canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders, including headache, colic, cramp, dropsy and indigestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs, heart disease aud asthma. These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind that Pe runa is a catarrh remedy. Surely, such herbal remedies, that command the enthusiastio confidence of the highest authorities obtainable, brought together in proper combination, ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy. This is our claim, and we are able to substantiate this claim by ample quotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD, Our Peruna Tablet Is Peruna With Fluid Removed.
