Six months 7t Palu In advance, per year SI 60 The fact that Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts has been called to headquarters in ChicnKO cannot be iu terpreted as otherwise than inrfioatiuj? anxiety at republican headquarter with reference to the outcome of the presidential election. A few wee ago, the odds were four to one in favor of Taft as jndged from a Ram bling standpoint which, by the way, is a much keonor and farther seeing standpoint than any other. Tlie fact that the odds are not now by any means so Brent is ground for ropuhli can anxiety. There is nolr complete satisfaction with Mr. Hitolirook's management, and the president him self, it is eaid, is impatient anil de sires to see a moro strenuous cam paign. It is said that Mr. Hitohoock has been trying to do too modi all by himself. While physioallv he ib Atlas-shouldored, it is not thoaght that his experience or his intelligence is to be absolutely trnsted, hence there will be at the ropublican conn oil able, older and more experienced if not bettor advisers and managers. The Portland Commercial Club fin ished its new building with Oregon or Douglas fir. and in addition to this used this same exquisitely grained wood in making some high rluHS per manent furniture for its main parlor. Nine ont of ton visitors admire it more than thoy do mahogany. Dur ing the visit of Mr. li. H. Hiirriman he requested that flumping be Hnt him for the consideration of h'H architects who are now buildng his country home, which will probably be the fluent, residence in America. LuhI Saturday President 15 L. Winohell of Rock Island Systom made a visit to the . Club and particularly admired this same wood, lie gave notice to an official of the Harriman linos who was present that if thoy didn't hurry the Rook Island would have the finest dining car or slu -per finished in the chief wood of the Paoifio Northwest ot which there is fcufocicnt yet left to turn out moro and richer millionnir '8 than has the iron and steel district ot which Pittsburg is the center, Organism) labor of Portland lias in dorsed William Jennings liryun, hns voted to sustain Samuel Gompors in his political attitude mid denounced the attacks made upon him, has olllcially opposed the candidacy of William II. Taft, and has established the maxim that no man who carries a untin card should vote for the repuli lican nominee. The action of the Federated Trades council is looked upon as a most important index by the party loaders. Made op of repreion futives of all the different branohoH of organized labor as the council is, its membership composed of delegates from tli se different unions acting un der the instructions from thoir parent unions, it is easy to be seen that the expression of the council is in reality ' the composite voice of organ'zod la bor as a whole. With tlie inevitable retirement of Forak3r and his understudy Diektwo years thereafter, there will he a new senatorial deal for Ohio. Ohio is not lacking in senatorial material. There are Garfield, Merrick and Burton, these three and possibly a dozen others, but the greatest of them is Burton, .who is now a member of the lower house. He will doubtless be elected either in Forakear'g place or in Dick's. When Theodore Burton is senator,-Ohin will be represented in the upper house -with an ability un surpassed since the tune of Allen G. Tliurman. The exposure of Honator Koraker's attorneyship for the Standard Oil UompuuyiK tho political sensation of the campaign. It is said that the re publicans in high olllce have all along known ot his connection with the oil trust. It however was not for thorn to turn on the light aud expose one of the most conspicuous lenders of the party. Mr. Hearst, who made the exposure, lias liimsjlf said that it will probably not hurt Mr. Taft's cam paign. That it is the knell of Mr. Koraker'g political career is the opin ion everywhere. 7The Playground Assct-lutUm of America has employed a man to go about the country to tHlk up the mat ter of every town having one or more playgrounds or parks for the benefit of the pooplo generally and tho chil dren iu particular. The idea is a good one and it is to be hoped t hut this "drummer" of enterprising spir it Will visit Oregon and .help us to en thuse somewhat along this line. SHERMAN ACCEPTS BIAM1 Republican Vice Presidential Candi date Drawn Out by Congress man De Armond. Vancouver, Washington, one ot the old pioneer towns made famous by having Ooueril Grant aud Geuoral Sherman located at the barracks there, is giving some of the newr tortus a sample of civio enterprise. Not satisfied with putting down hard surfaced pavements, on last Saturday they celebrated the completion of an electric tt'eot railway system which roadies well into the subarbs. Edward Krtz, of Devonshire, Eng land, member of tho Hociotv of Brit- isli.Hoyal Artists and of international reputation, heard eo much about tli;j beantios of the Pacific Northwi'Ht that o is now making a very leisurely stay in this region. Tho Columbia Kiver, Crater Lake and other lauions scenic attractions of the north Pacific coast he says have no equal. A Tuberculosis Congress is in ses sion iu Washington aud distinguished specialists from all parts of the world are in council of war against a dis ease that makes Waterloos aud Sedans appear small iu their comparative slaughter. It is not only hoped, lint bolieved, tuat science will finally be successful iu this contest. Specialists beliove the disease to be erndicablu. Honest and distinguished physicians the world over are becoming uiorj mid more modest and reticent with refereuoe to curative practice mid are claiming more aud more fur the means of prevention. The assembling in Washington ot the largest and most distinguished convention of physi cians that the world has ever seen, marks an epoch in warfare against disease. A meeting of the representatives of all the Pacific coast commercial bod ies will be hold in Snu Francisco on Monday, October 6th. There will be delegates iu attendaneo from several of the important organizat ions of Washington aud Oregon. On Tuesday morning opens in the sumo city for a five days session the Trnns-MimuHKippi Commercial Congress, which gives promise of being one of the most re sultfnl gatherings of that Influential body. Delegations from Washington aud Oiegou are materially increased by the fact that the congress lias held meetings iu both Portland and Su nt tie. Tho mixed un affairs in tlie rennb- lican camp and the scraps iu the dem ocratic circles is enough to make the lav reader roar with laughter. There seems to bo a general house cleaning and the parasites are being caughtnp iu the piii 'ers as fast as they are found. The oxplosio'i ot that shower of political bombs has driven many to tlie tall sticks. Mrs. Minor Morris who was forcibly removed from the White house and lias since been placed' by her husband in two insane asylums, has escaped mid is again at large iu Washington, but denies that alia lias any intention ot calling at the executive mansion. "The American ladies are slow to acoept change, ' is the declaration of the president of the Dressmakers' Association. This remark will be oentrovertod by most husbands who have had their pockets turned wrong side out. When inclined to find fault with conditions in America just remember that, according to official figures, "one person out of every thirty-eight in England and Wales are paupers, and things nro getting worse over there nt that. On the word of James Schoolcraft Sherman, Kepubllcan vice presidential candidate, full responsibility for con gress' failure to enact many needed laws must be assumed by the Repub lican party. April 8, 190S, in the house, as printed la the Congressional Record,. Repre sentative David A, De Armond, of Missouri, said: "When tlie question Is asked any where In the country and It. will be asltcd- why was not this measure considered, why was not that meas ure passed, .why was not the other measure brought up? there Is one an swer, aud only one: Because the Re publican majority In this house willed that it should not be considered, should not be brought up, should" not be passed. We can stand upon that rec ord. It is well known that there is pressure in the country, and very great pressure, for the consideration and passage of a number of Important measures. Ifis well known tfca't a farse majority of the voting strength of the country is insistent upon the consideration and the passage of Im portant measures. Do not go to them again, as you have done so often and so successfully, and endeavor to de hide them into the belief that some how you could not get consideration for the measure and somehow you could not pass it. You can have con sideration, because you have the pow er to enforce It; and, so far at meritori ous measures are concerned, as ha been demonstrated here more than once and will be demonstrated again, and abundantly demonstrated, you have only to express the will, you have only to give the opportunity, and if you lack the votes upon that side, as you do not, there will be an abundant addition here." Sherman Admits It. Tlie same day, replying, Mr. Sher man said: "The gentleman from Missouri la tin, ates that the Republican side of the house desires to do away with the roll calls because of some fear of making a record upon some question before the house. Mr. Speaker, tlie Republic an party In the house, the Republican party In this nation, is prepared today to accept fuil responsibility, not only for everything that Is done, but for that which is not. done in the way of legislation and administration. Ap plause on tlie Republican side. We recognize the fact, sir, that this gov ernment today Is Republican in all its brunches. We recognize the fact that we have a Republican president, brave, wise, and courageous. We recognize that we have' a Republican majority in the senate, that we have a Republic an majority In this house that is ready to resort to every legal, every proper constitutional right to enact such leg islation na It deems for the best In terest for the greatest number of our people, nud which Is willing and ready to ncccpt full responsibility for all those U'easures which are introduced here and which are enacted into law." MR. SHAW ON SOUP HOUSES. fit is said that ou an averaio three thousand loiters daily fail to reach the persons to whom they aro ad dressed, it seems to us that the nleasi) remit" kind coma verv num. lalrly and novur go astray.

Don't Allow the political oaiupaigu now on to make yon overlook the col onist rates in effect during September and October, aud remember that your inenils and acquaintances throughout the older stiles can come to any part of the Paoifio Northwest ou one-way tickets at less cost now than at any other time during the coming winter. Putting a man on the ladder of suc- oi ss is the acid test. It he boosts the follow on the round above him. he's the real metal; if he pulls him down to got his place, he's ft shoddy imita tion. - "If it'should win me every vote in i no unueu mares i cannot sit ou a man when ho is down" are tho al leged words ot Mr. Tutt when nrgod to repudiate publicly Mr. Foraker. Private Allen of Mississippi was at one time tho humorist of the house of representatives in Washington, his mantle fell ou J. Adam Dodo of Minnesota, who has just been retired from the house. They will have suc cessors, iu wit, perhaps, but nt prosout their equals iu quip and jest are not on tho floor. WhenYou Take Cold One way is to pay no attention to It; at least not until it de velops into pneumonia, or bronchitis, or pleurisy. An other way is to ask your doc tor about Ayer's Cherry Pec toral. If he says, " Tlfe best thing for colds;' then tahe it. Do as he says, anyway. 14 W publlih our formuUt W bmnlth lcohnl froia our uitdiguiM W urff you to v conauit your doctor yers A Texan, exlubitiiia the workino of hit patent burglar ahirni, was recently arrested in New York. That city is doubtless jealous of one of its chief industries. Theru's up law to prevent Kvelvn Thaw's returning to the stage, but sensible theatre-goers know hew to turn ou a "frost' when euo is needed. The power ot money was again dem onstrated when a Pennsylvania man knocked out a footpad by striking htm on the head witli a small hag of change. Should tho time ever come when re form will not bo noedei many thou sands of good men and women will have to go on a hunt for new occupations. This hurry up call for dismfec (tints from many oli thai quarters indi cates, wo fear, that the enmpaign isn't going to ho such a rlean one af ter all. Former Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, In Michigan last spring, made Interesting comment ou panics as fol lows: "Over 300,800 freight cars Btandlng enqfty on the tracks; 8,000 locomotives out of commission ; one-quarter of the population of several large cities Idle, and, for the first time In a Republican administration, free soup houses." Hide Must Go With the Hair. Ill Secretary Shaw's case, the "bide must go with tlie hair; that is, his comment on economic conditions must be taken "en somble," as the theatri cal critics say. His soundness on bank guarantee must accompany equally sound opinion ou other mooted quesr tlons. Now that Mr. Taft, agalust whom Mr. Shaw labored, has been nominated, Mr. Shaw might obtain leave to "extend his remarks in the record," nnd embellish his terse state ment relative to soup houses. lie will easily overcome Democratic objection, and perhaps can get unani mous consent, under the rules. PERUNA RECEIVES PRAISE For Relieving Such Symptoms as Debility. Backache and Headache. Mrs. Tressie Nelson, 609 North 6th Ave., Nashville, lenn.,writes : "As Peruna hasdoneme a world of good J feel In duty bound to tull of it, in hopes that It may meet the eye of some w ho has suffered as I did. "For five vears I really did not know what a oerfectly well day was, and if I did not have Mi ! ' CAW f,',,-,v.,j.,i.,,A,VAi.. "JV.. vvv. vm - ' ' fv '411 ' MRS. TRESSIE NELSON. headache, I had backache or a pain somen here and really life was not worth the effort I made to keep going. "A good friend advised me to use Pe runa and I was glad to try anything, and I am very pleased to say that six bottles made a new woman ot me and I have no more pains and life looks bright again." There are a greut many phases of woman's ailments that require the as sistance of the surgeon. But by far the greatest number of such cases are amenable to correct medicinal treatment. A vast multitude of women have been relieved from the ailments peculiar to their sex through the use of Peruna as prescribed by Dr. Hartman. Be receives many letters from all parts of the country relating to subjects of vital Interest to womankind. Of the vast multitude of women Dr. Hartman treats annually, only a small per cent, of them oonsider it necessary to write to the Doctor at all. While it is not affirmed that Peruna will relieve every case of this kind, it is certainly the part ot wisdom for every woman so afflicted to give Peruna m fair trial. Mrs. Joseph Lacelle, 124 Bronson St., Ottawa, East, Ontario, Canada, writes t "I suffered with backache and head ache for over nine months and nothing relieved me until I took Peruna, This medicine is by far better than any other medicine for these troubles. A few bot tles relieved me of my miserable, half' dead, half-alive condition. '7 am now In good bedfth, have neither ache nor pain, nor nave I had any for the past year. If every Buffer ing woman would take Peruna, they would soon know its value and never be without it." Mrs. M. Kliner, 2648 E. 88th St., S. E, Cleveland, Ohio, writes : "I am enjoying good health since tak ing your medicine. I had suffered for a good many years previous to taking Peruna, and ever since I can say that do not know what headache or neuralgia Is. I can most assuredly say that any body afflicted with catarrh in any form can be cared by taking Peruna." A DEFINITE DIAGNOSIS. Co-opertion Baiting a Direct Caus of Business Stagnation. In accepting the Democratic nomina tion for the governorship of Georgia Joseph M. Brown, after describing the manner in which business and industry htij passed from boom to stagnation In Georgia In one short year, said: "What was the cause of this paralysis-of business? Agitation agitation which denounced the corporation, but Ignored the fact that the corporation was but the ufllon of Individual citi zens who singly were too weak to ac complish the purposes of development which with aggregated capital could build and was building up the state, giving co-ordinately employment to thousands of the worthiest of our fel low citizens. This agitation declared that 5 per cent net was a fair return for those of our fellow citizens who Invested their money in stocks of com mon carrier corporations, but granted to those who owned stock la other cor porations the right to earn from 20 to 100 per cent net. It manifestly took no account of the fact that If the of ficers of public ulllty corporations were handling the affairs of these corpora tions in such a manner as was detri mental to the public luterest the Just method of correcting such abuses was to deal with such officers, but not to Inflict a penalty, through serious cur tailment of income on their Investment, upon Innocent stockholders of proper ties which pay one-eighth of the taxes of Georgia." Experience Essential. On the semlmunlcliial ownership street railway of Cleveland if you offer a five dollar hill In payment of fare the conductor pockets it and tells you to apply at the office of the company for your change. This is bad enough for the man who has more bills in his pocket and plenty of time to chase up his change, but If you haven't another cent to hless'yolirself with and happen to be miles from home aud from the traction office It may be a serious mat ter. The Cleveland Plain Dealer calls it highway ro'.ibery nnd Intimates that practical experience us well ns good in tention Is necessary to run a street railway properly. . The man who takes pride in his work usually has a boss who'' takes pride in him. Tlie path of safety tho voter is try ing hard to find just now All trails look alike. Whece Bullets Flew. , David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says: "The good Electric Bitters have done is worth more than five hundred dollars to me. I spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I then tried Electric Bit ters, and they cured me. I now take them as a tonic and they keep me strong and well." 5Uc at .Jones Drug Co. 's store. " They Think They Know It All. The city council hired an electrical engineer to advise them and to draw the plans and specifications of the mu nicipal lighting plant. When the Job Is completed that gentleman will have been paid $1,000 or more. In the face of this expenditure a majority of the council voted directly opposite to his recommendations. In other words, they paid $1,000 of the people's money for expert advice, and then they did the other thing. He advised them not to buy the system that they put in, as did others who ought to know.
