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

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

good one and it is to be hoped t hut

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."

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

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

may meet the eye of some w ho has suffered as I did.

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.

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

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
