West Virginia is a state Jn which
the Democratic party of late years
has had but little hopes of victory and
has as yet never had even Its slender
hopes realized. This year the pros
pects for carrying the state for both
state and national ticket are excel
lent. Mr. C. A. Osenton, of Fayette,
a delegate to the Denver convention
' and a prominent factor In Democratic
politics of the state, says: "There is
absolutely no reason why West Vir
ginia should not be safely reckoned
upon for both the national and the
state tickets. The Republicans will
have two state tickets in the field, a
fact which will, of course turn the
state government over to the Demo
crats. Btu even while this duplica
tion of state ticket with the same set
of presidential electors on both may
aid the Republican national ticket, the
trend of public sentiment is such that
we .Democrats are not apprehensive
of disaster In the presidential contest.
In past years west Virginia has been
carried by the brute force of money
or by the coercive methods adopted
by the great mining and railroad cor
porations to compel their employes to
vote the Republican ticket. This time
the Republicans have not the money
necessary to repeat their former
methods, and the railroads and the
great corporations have ceased to feel
that foolish and inexplicable dread of
Bryan and his party which they mani
fested in 181)0. Even If they did have
the same fear their workmen have
not, and the possibility of coercing
them is very Blight. We have a well
organized party in West Virginia, we
have a state not difficult to canvass
and we think we can safely promise to
Bryan and to assure him that It will
be in the complete sisterhood of the
Southern states."
J. R. Concutf, a former resident of
Portland, has ust returned from
Shanghai, China, where he has been
engaged In the mercantile business
for thb past two years. "Much has
been, said," says Mr. Concuff, "of the
awakening of China, but the reportB
cannot exaggerate, or for that mat
ter, give a true idea of rapid progress
which tlio ancient country is mumiig,
The great middle classes of the em
pire are at work overturning tne luois
built up by centuries of paganism and
with ouch year the number or tne en
lightened are Increasing by almost
geometric ration. It I my sincere
onlnlon that war on the Pacific within
the next few years cannot be averted,
and China will be one of the partici
' pants. I am net Baying who will be
the others. The men of Cathay are
drilling a lurge and quietly Increasing
the strength of the naval armament,
The people at large are steadfast in
their hatred of the little brown men
across on the Mikado's Isles and when
the queued soldiers meet those who
vanquished them before there will be
a different story. Skilled statltlciuns
from tho armies of Europe are being
paid high salaries to inculcate into the
Chinese forces the knowledge of war
fare In all its subtleties. The Chinese
soldier is not excelled In bravery or
efficiency by the military of other na
tions, once he is drilled Into form by
competent leaders.
The panic of 1907, coming without
any legitimate excuse when the Re
publican pnrty had for a decado been
In complete control of the federal gov
ernment, furnishes additional proof
that it Is either unwilling or Incom
petent to protect tho interests of the
general public. It has so linked the
country to Wall Street that the sins
of the speculators are visited upon
the whole people. While refusing to
rescuo the wealth producers from
spoliation at the hands of tho stock
Ramblers, and speculators In farm
products, it has deposited treusury
funds without interest and without
competition in favorite banks. It has
used an emergency for which it Is
largely responsible to force through
Congress a bill changing the basis of
hank currency and inviting market
manipulation, and has failed to give
tho Ill'tuen million depositors of the
country protection In their savings.
The entries for livestock at tho next
Oregon State Fair, Salem, September
11-11), closed on the 1st Inst, in con
t' i'ormlty with the rules governing such
" matters during the fair and n glance
at tho entry sheets before they are
copied onto the several hooks of tho
hoard show that there will bo mi unu
sually large number of horses, cattlo,,
sheep .goals and swine, In tho several
contests for tho liberal cvash pre
miums offered for the boardnifwypa
mluina offered by tho board. There
will bo livestock from Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, California the choic
est animals In the United States. The
livestock department will he worth
going many miles to see.
So great has been the number of
entries In tho Slniidardbred classes of
horses for the coining Oregon State
Fair, at Salem, Sept. 14-19, that the
board of agriculture were compelled
to provide additional barn room. This
has been done In the shnpo of a large
barn 2"0 feet long by 42 feet wide,
which will afford box stalls for 40
horses, each stall being 11x12 feet,
and these are located on cither side
of a seventeen-foot driveway, which
extends the entire length of the struc
ture. Tho barn Is titled with all ac
commodations for the horses, and It Is
well lighted mid ventilated. There Is
barn equipment now for 2.10 Standard
hreds and Thoroughbreds.
Mr. J. 11. McMillan, now past eighty
five years of ago and temporarily re
siding at Coshocton, Ohio, writes:
"Having lived in Oregon sixty years
and believing it to be the best country
in tho United States, I take pleasure
In sending people there who are look
ing for a home. Uheuinatlsm has a
firm grip on me, and 1 am unable to
labor, but I can talk of Oregon and
spread Oregon literature und will be
glad to receive samo from all parts
of tho Btate. I have been able to send
many people to Oregon, and they have
written tt hat they were glad they
made the chango." Oregonlans should
remember that there are thousands
more to come on the colonist rates of
September and October.
"One day the Republican National
Committee gives It out that it has re
turned checks offered by corporations
because such contributions .are un
lawful, but they have never yet re
turned the checks Cornelius N. Bliss
obtained from insurance companies,
and only last week they were caught
In thte act of soliciting contributions
by addressing appeals to corporations.
And the chairman has appointed Bliss,
who got the money from the Insur
ance companies as a member of the
"advisory committee."
The Oregon State Fair opens next
Monday, September 14th, and contin
ues through the week. The showing
of nil kinds of products, as well as
livestock and industrial display and a
great race program without pool sell
ing, insures one of the best Fairs
Oregon has ever held. Immediately
following the Oregon State Fair is
the Portland Country Club Live Stock
Show, and it Is certain that these two
weeks, during which livestock will
be foremost in the minds of the peo
ple of Oregon, will have much to do
with the more rapid development of
that Important ludustry.
How deep the last words of the
sweet voiced singer, Ira D. Sankey,
strike Into the hearts of men. They
were the words of Fanny Crosby, the
blind hymn writer which he repeated,
and the watchers who went with him
to the verge of the Dark Valley heard
these words:
"Some day the silver chord will
break,
And I no more, as now, will sing;
But Oh! tho joy when I awake
Within the palace of the King."
The new dairy building annex at the
Oregon State Fair grounds, Salem, is
nearly ready for use during the com
ing annual fair, which Is scheduled to
be held on September 14-19, Inclusive.
The new structure will relieve the
crowded condition of the dairy pavil
ion proper, and afford more spacious
quarters for the firms that will make
exhibits of dairy machinery and appli
ances during the fair. The display of
butter and cheese will be extensive,
also.
The hurry up and build movement
throughout the United States, because
building material and labor are about
thirty per cent cheaper than they
were about a year ago, Is the cause of
some spectacular happenings In Port
land. Down in the business centor
they are digging basements by elec
tric light, working three shifts of
eight hours each. The American
Lumberman's "Build Now" movement
Is reaching far Into the night.
A new class of cattle Is to he shown
at the next Oregon State Fair, which
will be hold at Salem during the week
beginning September 14, Is the Polled
Jersey. Those will be exhibited by
Grant Mann, of Cornelius, and will
consist of a bull and cow which are
said to be the only animals of the
breed west of the Rocky mountains.
Said Governor Hughes at Youngs-
town, Ohio: "If all that Mr. Bryan, has
favored and urged during the past
twolve yearB had been enacted Into
law we Bhould now be overwhelmed
with disaster."
The Governor has a fine way of rub
bing It Into Roosevelt.

ing capital of Washington County, is

Dairying and Soil Fertility.
Uuder this head. Prof. G. L. Mo
Kay says:
'1 believe that while the tl'.iry
business is mcreasius, we aro not
making the advunooment that we
should, It is my privelege, during
the past summer, to spoud some time
in the coast states lecturing on dair
ing. I was surprised and astonished
to find the progress that these peoplo
were making, lu the State of Ore
gon dairying has increased live liun
dred p;r oent during the past five
years, while the output of butter had
almost doubled in tho snme time in
California.
, Possibly the priuoipul reason that
dairying is making sueli progress in
the coaHt states is that these peoplo
have boon growing wheat for years,
thus robbing their soil of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid aud lime until the
land became so impoverished that it
wonld not jirodnco wheat. I saw land
ont there that tlioy told me would
not produce over eight or nine
bushels of whoat per acre a few
years Bgo, aud It is now produoing
from twenty to forty bushels per
acre. This change has been brought
about, by farmors adouting dairying.
A ton of wheat wll remove $7.00
worth of fertilizing, material from
the soil, while a tou of butter will
remove less than 60o worth. Today
a ton of wheat has a market value
ot tweuty-two dollars, while u ton
of butter sells for live hundred dol
lars; therefore, it is only reasonable
that tho intelligent farmer should
dairy.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Koot, the great kidney remedy,
fulfill every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
mid scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the niirht. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis

CO-OPERATIVE STORES.
Onoe They Were Numerous, but Com
paratively Few Now.
From the excellent report of the
committee on cooperation of the New
Hampshire state grange we take the
following paragraph: The writer ar
gues that the grange stores Just filled
their mission and then went out of
business to a largo extent. During the
early duys of the order Its members
gave special attention to the business
side of the grange. "Co-operative ac
tlon was undertaken in buying and sell
lng, and a great many co-operative
stores were opened. The fact that few
of these stores were long lived has
been urged as showing that such co
operation was not successful. It Is
true thut some failed because of In
competent management, but generally
speaking these stoffs, which marked
a brief period of transition, proved a
triumph for the principle they repre
sented. Previous to the period of their
establishment the farmers have been
struggling for existence, while the mid
dlementhat Is, the tradesmen in the
towns have been prospering amazing
ly. At the close of the period the farmers
were growing wealthy In comparison,
while the tradesmen were engaged In
a fierce competitive buttle for a liveli
hood. The day of largo profits In the
retail business bad passed forever, and
as the farmers could then afford to deal
with the tradesmen again tho co-operative
stores disappeared, leaving their
object fully accomplished."
TAXING AGRICULTURE.
National Master Bachelder Would Ex
empt Growing Crops.
From an address by National Mas
ter Bachelder before tho nntiounl con
ference on taxation at Columbus, O.;
we make the following quotation:
"From whatever point of view the
taxation of farm products Is consid
ered, the conclusion seems to me to be
Inevitable that such taxation has no
redeeming features by which It can be
justified, aud I would most respect
fully submit to this conference for Its
consideration the proposition that the
public welfare would be advanced by
adopting generally some of tho exemp
tions of farm property now contained
In the kuvs of the Beveral states so
that tho following property should be
exempted lu all the slates:
"First. All growing crops and all
crops for a short period nfter harvest
ing. "Second. AH animals raised for
food purposes uuder a certain age.
"Thlrd.-All farm work animals
should bo declared to be tools of indus
try and brought within tho exemptions
now granted to tools, and tho value of
tool exemptions should be expanded so
as to include the value, of such work
animals.
"These exemptions, operating on all
alike, would benefit all the consumers
of the country ns well ns farmers, thus
Including tho entire population."
Developing Leadership.
Miss Jennie Buel, secretary of
Michigan state grange, very truly says
that one of tho great demonstrations of
organization nmong farmer folk In the
past forty years has been the discovery
and turning to account of leaders
among themselves. Pre-eminent lead
ers, It is perhaps true, are born, not
mndo. But many who might be real
leaders never develop tho ability, aud
many others never are given Hie right
bent. Their uatural aggressiveness
runs riot or to waste on worthless
ends. It Is not led out and schooled to
logical accomplishments. '
Tho grange steps lu light here aud
offers the plan.JJie experience mid the
Incentive to the proper development of
leadership. More tlnin this, It Is the
mission of the grunge to do this. It Is
a feature of grange opportunity that
presents Itself as a 'privilege rather
than as a duty. However, the percep
tion of this privilege does not usually
come in the primary grades of associ
ated work. But when this opportu
nity of helping human lives blossom
and discover themselves Is once real
ized It Is found to have a rare quality
of enjoyment and satisfaction.
Grange Day at Chautauqua.
This notable summer resort on Chau
tauqua lake sets apart one day for the

rn.ESHnVATIGrJ OF FORESTS.
The Old Biy State Is Now Taking the
Initiative.
The preservation of the forests Is a
problem second to none in present. Im
portance aud in its outlook toward the
future. Without trees our country
would be a desert, and the rapid den
udation of our New England hills is
already beginning to have Its effect
upon our streams and rivers und upon
our water supply. The Invention of
wood pulp paper and the r.:; !d exten
sion of the industry tlirour:!; ut the
country, together with the increase of
newspaper circulation have stimulated
the destruction of the forests to such
a degree that steps are already being
taken to preserve them before It Is too
late.
Congress .has attempted to take a
haud In the matter, but so far with
little avail, and It now remains for the
individual states affected to see what
they can do. The first step would seem
to be the development of paper making
from some rapidly growing and an
nually reappearing substance, such as
cornstalk fiber, Instlfid of ,from the
slowly rising tree which cannot be re
placed except after years of renewal'
and growth.
As was to be expected, Massachu
setts Is taking the initiative. To the
governors of the other five New Eng
land states Governor Guild has sent
out a request for a conference, and It
will be held at the Algonquin club
In Boston on the 14th of September.
The six governors will then confer and
deliberate over the best means to be
taken for the preservation of our for
ests, and It Is probable thift arrange
ments will be made for the calling of
a New England business conference at
some time Immediately folIow!"g the
presidential election. If It should be
held, says Governor Guild In hla letter,
It should come at that time "In order
that Its work might not be confused
with the politics of the presidential
campaign." One of the especial ob
jects of this meeting of the governor
UOVEB.NOB GUILD OP MASSACHUSETTS.
with his associates will be to devise
means whereby a greater " uniformity
of action may be secured la the leg
islation among the several states lu
the Union. But the greatest result
should be in the stimulus it will give
to public opinion and In its awakening
of us to the fact that the forests must
and shall be preserved.
The First Potatoes.
Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor of first
Introducing the potato In England,
lived at Hrlxtou, England, near Eliza
beth's IIouso. Foruiby, lu Lancashire,
also claims the honor of being the site
of the first culture of the poato In that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by a Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation of the potato
lu the British Islands was probably at
Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland,
where this great navigator had an es
tate. It has been generally accepted that
tho potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that It was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and Do Coudelle both lent the weight
of their authority to this view, but it
has beeu ascertained that the Indians
of Virginia, though they used a number
of tuberous roots, did not know our po
tato. One of these was the plaut sometimes
grown ns an ornamental climber In our
gardens and called by botanists Apios
tuberosa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, aud the French Canadians
kuew them as pomuies de terre, and
our potato, being a native of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to tho Indians of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced In England ns part of the
cargo of one of Sir Richard Greuville's
ships "and lauded at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere ou the way. On the
voyage home, however, it had encoun
tered and captured a Spanish ship from
Santo Domingo. Tho potatoes were a
part of the cargo of the latter vessel.
The Useful Sunflower.
Sunflower seeds are said to give an
extra Hue flavor to eggs and are much
used by the French people for that pur
pose. Remember this when you plant
your garden and drop In some seeds
arSund the edges and in the odd cor
ners. A few planted near the sink
drain will help to keep, away miasma
and give you heads if seed that will
be mammoth in size.

FOR HAY FEVER.
Pe-ru-na is Sometimes Used With Ex

A CASE UN POINT.
MISS MAYME E. SMITH.
MI8S MAYME E. SMITH, 444 East
Mound St., Columbus, Ohio, writes :
"IT.ve used Peruna for catarrh and
hay fove. The results being remark
able, I can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with the above dis
eases. I am happy to be able to say It
has holpod mo woudcrfully."
What is known as hay fever Is In
reality endemic catarrh, a catarrhal
condition of the nose, throat, some-I'mo.-i
the bronchial tubes, induced by
Eomo local irritant.
",".,3 irritation is generally due to vege
tal emanations of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause of
this malady, hence its name, hay fever.
It has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation also. It is a very
capricious disease, coming and going,
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat
isfactory. Peruna helps soma eases without a
d'Uiht, ulthoiigh it is not claimed to be
n infallible remedy for such cases.
