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.

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.

the hop yards throughout the willam

which localities fruit, berries and veg

entirely prohibit the disposal of their

the State are similarly situated, and it

Board to issue a special bulletin at
the proper season, dealing with the
hygiene and sanation of such districts

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.

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

employed, but are liable at any time

The following verses composed by
one of our soldier boys after attending
the funeral of a" brother soldier, in
the Philippines, when he states an
officer ordered the band to play "Al
ways in the way," a popular rag
time song, the order being carried out
much to the abhorrence of the Marines
attending:
We don't object to hiking through a
hundred miles of sun,
We don't object to charging up a moun
tain on the run,
We don't object to living on a soldier's
ration straight,
We don't object to dying, but to reach
the golden gate
With ragtime funeral marches which
the band is made to play
It does sound a little awkward "You
are Always in the Way."
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
