The result of the primary election
is very encouraging. The people were
urged to rally to the defense of a
' great privilege that was being vici
ously assailed and they came to the
front and saved the day. The Courier
claims to have done Its part to the ex
tent that it helped set the people to
thinking. This publication prizes high
ly the stack of letters, forty-four in
number, congratulating and thanking
It for Its activity and special effort
in the fight to retain the people's pow
er to elect United States Senators.
Every elector who went to the polls
last Friday and cast his vote thought
fully and in the belief that It did its
part to maintain and preserve this
right has for his reward the conscious
ness that he has done hla duty as an
American Citizen. The Courier has a
like reward In the consciousness that
it has been faithful to its trust, In as
much as it has stood persistantly for
right self-government by the people
and against methods, the ultimate re
sult of which is inequality and spe
cial advantage to a small portion of
the people.
The determined effort that has been
made to overthrow Statement No. 1
or the people's power of electing Unit
ed States Senators is inspired almost
wholly by personal ambition. The
men who have made politics their on
ly business, the men who have grown
fat from the fruits of office, these
men behold with despair their old
time power and place slipping away
from them. A man's moral record as
well as his political record, his whole
public life must be spread out before
the pople as an open book that those
from whom he receives his power
and authority may read and pass
judgement upon him. A million of dol
lars may purchase 40 votes for United
States Senator In the Oregon Legisla
ture but there is not money enough
to buy the public conscience of a great
State. The richest man in the State
cannot go before the pople and secure
an election to the highest office with
in the gift of the people except he
present his claim on the ground of
merit and ability and on this ground
win the suffrage of the electors.
There were thousands of ballots
cast last Friday in the Interest of pro
fessional machine politicians. Very
few of them were cast from corrupt
or mercenary motives but most of
them under misapprehension or fail
ure to distinguish the logical result of
such a course of action. The influen
ces that were working to secure these
votes were working knowingly. They
were on the inside of the whole game.
Their effort in the cause of iniquity
will some day react upon them.
The Courier, just as every individu
al, has its measure of power for good
or evil,. If the paper or the Individual
fails to cast its lot on the side of the
good, on the side of right which is
the public interest, from the one
should be withheld the public en
couragement and patronage, on the
other should be heaped censure and
criticism. The community can and
should direct their efforts onward and
upward and an influence that seeks to
tear down and destroy that which is
right and desirable should itself be
curbod or destroyed. The Courier is
willing to submit Itself to the test and
on the judgment of the people to
stand or fall."
OLD McLOUGHLIN HOME.
Mayor Carll's determination to save
the old MqLoughlln home merits
hearty commendation. Sentiment is a
nation builder. It Is the soul of pa-
triotlsm and the spirit of progress.
A nation without It is a nation that
has passed the zenith of Its glory and
that Journey toward the sotting of the
Bun.
The value of the property, measured
In gold, la not great. But there is
something else on earth, though we
are prone to forget it at times, be
sides bank notos and bonds. The old
McLouchlln home with all its associ
ations and the memories It recalls Is
a precious keep-sake. There are
those among us who can romoniber it
as a palaco In a wilderness. It would
pain these to see the old land mark
go. Coming generations will cherish
tb historical structure and to them
its silent walls will unfold ohnptors
of romance nnd adventure.
Tho tomb of Shakespeare was once
the unmarked grave of a forgotten
bard. What but sentiment inspires
the throngs to journey there now. As
to the destiny of Oregon; hor pro-
gress; hor coming glory, her future
grandeur; who will vonture to prophe
sy. And in that day who may say in
what esteem another generation may
hold the neglocted old homo of tho
Father of Oregon. Preserve it? To
be sure we will! Lest those who come
after us look back upon us with scorn
and censnro! Indeed we will not flit
by and witness the obliteration of tho
old land mark. Wo will go about it
to save the historical building. Dr.
Carll will tako tho lead and we will
all follow.
Free from
Alcohol
Since May, 1906, Ayer's Sar
saparilla has been entirely free
from alcohol. If you are in
poor health, weak, pale, nerv

alterative. If he has a better
medicine, take his. Get the best
always. This is our advice.

Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, R. . D. 1,
Box 90, Kornorsvllle, North Carolina,
writes the following letter to The
Peruna Drug Manufacturing Com
pany: "I suffered with Btomach trouble and
Indigestion for some time, and nothing
that I ate agreed with me.
"I was very nervous and experienced
a continual feellfag of uneasiness and
fear.
"I took medicine from the doctor, but
It did me no good. I found in one of
your Peruna books a description of my
symptoms. I then wrote to Dr. Hart
man for advioe. He said I had catarrh
of the stomach.
"I took Peruna and Manalln and fol
lowed hi. directions and can now say
that 1 feel as well as X ever did.
"I hope that all who are afllioted with
the same symptoms will take Peruna,
as it has certainly cured mo." ,
Japan has become the bully of the
Orient by a very rapid growth. There
is none in the East to dispute her su
premacy. China, her mighty neigh
bor and her Alma Mater in such Ori
ental civilization as she has, is as a
governmental entity, like wax In her
hands. Japan has sent a ship load of
arms to a Chinese insurgent organiza
tion and has made the Chinese gov'
eminent apologize and pay for try
ing to prevent the outrage. China
as a governmental entity is helpless
Indeed, but as a moral and retribu
tive entity behold her crushing pow
er! She has, through her secret so-
cleties, declared a boycott against
Japanese goods, which threatens to
ruin that already almost bankrupt na
tlon. Japan is doubtless wishing she
had never heard of that "Tatsu Mam."
She would even now be glad if she
could save her face and pay back a
hundred fold the unjust Indemnity
wrested from China.

Now that Cuba is about to resume
Independent government it is pub

should be two thousand major Gener

There wusji time when It was com
mon for us to speak of tho great bur
den that foreign countries have in
their military establishments but our
army Including the pension list coiits

iluest in the world.
The theft and vivisection of the

Our State University.
The last session of tho Oregon Leg
islature passed a bill appropriating
$125,000 annually "for the support and
maintenance of the University of Ore
gon, to keep the buildings, grounds
and all other property thereof, in re
pair; for the purchase of additional
lands for the campus thereof, for the
construction of buildings and addi
tions to the sumo, and for the pur
chase of library books, laboratory sup
plies ami apparatus." A referendum
was invoked in the bill so It will not
become a law uutil it is approved by
majortity of the voters at tho re
gular election on Juno 1, 1908.
Consider the sum to be appropriated
for our State University. How does
this sum compare with the amount
other States of the Union are giving
In the aid of their State Universities?

Now Perfectly
Healthy.
Mrs. Magdalen a
Winkler, Koute 6,
Westminster, Md.,
writes:
"I thank you very
much for your ad
vice. I can safely
say that Peruna and
Manalln have saved
my life.
"When I wrote to
you the first time,
asking your advice,
my condition was
so poor that I did
not expect to live
through the winter,
but now I am perfectly healthy.
"I cannot praise your medicine
enough, and I recommend it to others."
Catarrh of Stomach.
Mrs. Mary Allen, Route 6, Franklin,
Tenn., writes:
"I am glad to be able to tell you that I
am well of catarrh of the stomach, for
which I am sincerely thankful to you
for your advice. If it had not been for
Poruna I would never have been well.
"I had three physicians. Olio of them
told my husband that ho could not
cure mo.
"I had been sick about nine months
when a friend asked me to try Peruna
to gratify herj so 1 commenced taking
it.
"lean eat a;id walk and work. Every
body says I look us well r.s I ever did.
"Oil, you don't know how thankful I
do fool to you.
"I linvo got severnl other pcoplo to

body." ves the smallest appropriation of any
State university in the Union, Al
though eight States have less popula
tion, and nine have less wealth. The
State appropriated for the University
of Oregon during the year 1905-190G
about $80,000 per anum. The annual
appropriation of a number of Wes
tern State universities for 1907 is as
follows: Washington $500,000; Idaho
$129,150; Montana, $87,550; Colorado,
$515,000; Nevada, $125,000; Iowa,
$230,000; Wisconsin, $1,125,201; Cali
fornia, $822,1 18; The question to be
solved by each voter on June 1st is a
serious one. What answer will we be
able to give the home seekers from
the East and Middle West who come
to our State not for the purpose of
speculating, but for the purpose of
founding homes, and becoming the
bone and Binew of our State? Must
we tell them that our State universi
ty receives the smallest appropriation
of any State In the Union, must we
tell them that if they wish to educate
their sons and daughters they must
send thorn to other States? The rising
generation of the State of Oregon has
a far different battle to fight than
their fathers. They muBt combat in
every walk in life with men who have
received through university educa
tions. To compete with these, the
young men and women of our State
must have equally good education.
Tho man who stands at the polls in
June will be held responsible not on
ly for the fair name of our State, but
for the equipment his sons or dauglw
tors his brothers or sisters are furn
ished with, equipment which will fit
them to meet coming conditions of our
country.
Let us glance for a moment at the
present condition of our university,
Class rooms and labratorles are over
crowded. The heating plant is Inade
quate to heat nil the buildings. The
library cannot be used at night as the
university cannot afford to have the
library wired and pay for the elec
tric lights. The girls dormitory can
not be used on account of the lack of
funds necessary to install a heating
plant. The department of geology
has been without a head. since the
death of Dr. Crlnden and the- great
Crlndvn collection lies idle for the
want of funds to hire an Instructor.
It is impossible to renew the expiring
contracts for fuel, light and water. No
wages were paid the Instructors in
October, November and December.
There Is no adequate tire protection,
and in case of a serious fire the loss
to the State of thousands of dollars
would be lamentable. In the face of all
this array of evidence as to the de
plorable condition of our State Uni
versity, can any fair minded man re
fuse his aid to an Institution whose
purposes is not for the education of a
few, but throws its doors open to ev
ery young man and young women in
tho State?
As to the opportunity it affords
poor and rich alike cau share in the
:ul vantage offered. Tuition is free, ami
tho cost of living low. Sixty-five per
cent of the young men at the Uni
versity of Oregon are either wholly
or in large part earning their own way
through college. Studouts have, and
there are those who are doing the
same thing at tho present time, en
tered the University with less than
$10 In money, and yet have been able
through their own exertions, to make I
their own way through to graduation.
IS very boy or girl with a determina
tion to work may achieve an educa
tion at our State University. They can
by their own efforts earn their own
way, where there are no other ex
penses save only the cost of living
and books, but they are absolutely bar
red by the $500 to $S00 required to go
out of the State. There are those who
will say that the $125,000 to be appro-
For Children's
Colds.
Mrs. Henry
Martin, La
Motto, la., R,
R.No.l, writes:
"After Buffer
ing for Borne
time with Bore eyes I was advised by
a friend to try Peruna, which I did
at once.
"The first bottle relieved me, and
after using four bottles I was entirely
cured.
"I do recommend Peruna to all who
are afflicted with catarrh, I have
found it to be a great remedy also for
coughs and colds of children a dose
at bedtime will relieve them from
coughing all night. I always keep it on
hand, and recommend it."
Catarrh for Seven Years.
Mrs. T. Freeh, R. R. No. 1, Hickory
Point, Tenn., writes: "1 am happy to
tell you that I am enred of catarrh. I
have followed your good and kind ad
vice faithfully. I bless the day when I
wrote you of my condition, and I will
always praise PernDa. I think it is one
of the grandest medicines on earth.
"Having been afflicted with catarrh
and stomach trouble for seven years,
and after having tried four different
doctors they only relieved me for a little
while. I gave up all hope of being cured.
I only weighed ono hundred and thirty
pounds, and was so weak I could hardly
get around the room.
"I was induced to try Peruna, and to
my great surprise I am now entire! y woll.
My weight is now ono hundred and
eighty-eight pounds, my health never
was better in my life, I shall always
praiso Dr. nartman and his remedies."
should go to the public schools. To
those who hold this view, bear this in
mind; the States which are support
ing their universities most liberally
are the ones which have the strongest
system of public schools, as for ex
aniple, California, Iowa, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota. A strong university is
absolutely essential to a public school
system, for the university is nothing
more or less than the head of the
States public schools. There Is not a
county superintendent who will not
testify to the , statement that the
counties which have the strongest
high schools have also the best sys
tem of public schools. Inspirations do
not come from below they come from
above. Hold before every boy in our
stite the chance to fit himself for
law or medicine, or becoming an el
ectrical, civil, mining or mechanical
engineer and see what an impetus
you will add to his desire to finish the
public and high school course and en
ter our State university. Giye him the
chance to fit himself in all ways to be
come a worthy citizen of our great
commonwealth instead of leaving him
drop out at the end of his pulic school
course to enter work in mills or fac
tories. Gladstone once said "that this
world would be Eutopia if men
did not consider their pocketbook."
True or false as this statement may
be let us see how the appropriation
of $125,000 will effect our tax levy.
Will it make our tax levy more than
we can bear? If the appropriation bill
becomes a law, the amount of taxes
required to support our State Uni
versity will amount to three cents on
each $500 worth of property, or the
man who ownes property valued at
$100 will pay $1 toward the mainte
nance of our State University.
Let the citizens of Clackamas Coun
ty show to our State and to the re
maining counties of our State, that
our attitude .toward an institution
which will fit our sons and daughters
to cope with, every situation they will
have to meet, Is worthy of heartiest
co-operation and support by giving the
university appropriation bill our ut
most support at the polls on the 1st of
June.

If digestion Is weak, if food turns
Into gas, if you suffer after eating, if
you are sleepless, nervous and out of

when he writes: "Mi-o-na Stomach

years I was under their care. Thanks
to Mi-ona, I can work once more, the

The Farmer's Wife.
Who is in a better position to know than the farmer's wife herself what
is required in the farmer's home ? She must meet its troubles, solve its prob
lems, ward oft disease, nurse the sick, she must do all these things herself,
and she loarns by valuable experience what is best and what Is not best.
In numborless farm homes Pernna is relied upon as the family medicine.
Peruna books are consulted in health and disease. Peruna is used as a preven
tive as well as a corrective in disease.
The wivos of the farmers of the United States constitute a solid phalanx
in favor of Peruna. Against this testimony the slanders of a few critics will
not prevail. One sensible mistress of a farm home who has used Peruna
knows more about Peruna than all the magazine critics in the world.
