"Ne'er saw I a calm bo deep! The
river glidoth at its own Hweet will
Dear God! the very houses seem
asleep j and all that mighty heart is
lying still." The only sound is the
footlalls of the treasurer who cares
for the funds of either great national
party as ho paces back and forth be
fore the safe at the national head
Quarters dreaming of the chocks that
never came, and wishing that some
benevolent, disinterested malefactor
who has possessed himself with the
wealth of the common people migh
hurrv to the rescue with a few back
hand scrawls on an oblong strip of
fine-textured naner. Sleep is restful
and all that have loved virtuo have
been sipping from the fountain, until
the weary head has drooped upon the
breast, and tired nature s sweet re
storor, balmy sleep, lias spread her
niantlo of rest o'er a troubled sea of
humanity. Sloop woll, and may the
riohest blessings rest on him who first
invented it.
Where is the excitement and clamor
of a presidential eleotion, why have
not the peonle taken the usual inter
est in this important campaign and
aroused themselves to the labors for
either candidate? Is it the similarity
of tho polioies of tho two real leaders
that cajsos the Jack of interest, or is
it because there may be that inex
pressible feeling tliat comes over one
when some dire disaster is about to
fall? Will the nation pass the season
of its presidential election in a ooma
tose state, and waking from its leth
argy find itself with a greater prob
lem, one that may question for a time
the ruling power of a frej and inde
pendent people? Dark and ominouB
clouds have been gradually spreading
across its azure sky until perhaps
their very blackness lias overshadowed
the doings of today and dimmed the
pathway of tomorrow.
Tho registration has been greater
than years before, and yet from ex
passions on every hand one is lad to
believe that ths vote four days hence
for president will be light, and that
tho mightiest effort must be exerted
bv tho party leaders to call out men
to do their d ltv at the noils. News
papers have heoii full of talk, mostly
from opposing candidates, in tneir
wrangles bacit and forth. A slight
stir is apparent in the eastern states,
but throughout the land there is f
noticeable lack of interest, i calmness
that can not be shaken off, an op
pressive pall o'erspreads, a wliiS'
per to the deadened soul "till an
gels wake theo. "
Farmers Reseat Coercion.
At a recent mooting of representa
tive farmors of Washington township,
Marion county. Indiana, the follow
iug resolutions were adopted, and it
was also agreed to form an endless
chain among the farmers of the ooun
trv:
"Whereas, Tho Associated Press has
sent ont a s'atouiont lBsuod by r. M.
Sharpies, president of tho Sharpies
Senurntor Oomnanv of W oHtchoster,
Pa., saying that the hour lhyan is
elected tho Sharpies works will close
down, and
"Whereas, Such statements as this
will intensify the present financial
panio and will also tend to bring on,
if possiblo, other and greater financial
calamity: therefore, be it
"Resolved, That as farmers who
have the (rood of our country at heart,
we deeply deplore suoh unwarranted
statements and believing they aro
made for partisan purposes to intimi
date and influence voturH, wo here
with denouuee all firms making this
and similar aiinonncementw, iib narrow
and bigoted, and in these times as dis
loyal to tho best bnsinoss interests of
tho nation, and inasmuch as the per
sons and firms now resorting to these
uufair and nnputriotio mothodB main
tain thoir businesses by patronago of
Democrats as well as republicans, we
condemn those methods as an insult
to any democratic patron which ought
to be, and which we hope will bo,
resented.
"Resolved, That wo hereby call up
on tho farmers of the nation, irre
spective of party, who believe in fair
play, unite with us through thoir or
ganization and as individuals, in
(rushing out this unwise and indis
creet spirit which would sacrifice the
country's welfare for party suo
coss. (Signed) Albert Blue, Chair
man; Ross S. Ludlaw, Secretary."
With few exceptions, tho numerous
straw voIob being taken throughout
tho country, show that tho laboring
vole is largely with Bryan and Kern.
As a matter of fact, nearly all tho la
bor unions have endorsed the course
of President OouiperB and Mr. John
Mitchell, of tho Federation of Labor,
in euporting tho democratic ticket.
Donpito tho existence ot this condition
with reference to tho labor vote, re
publican campaign managers aro fran
tically endeavoring to make it appear
that the "Pathor of Injunction" is
tho choice of union labor, and that
President Gompers and Mr. Mitchell
nro in bad order with the labor vote.
Of course, this kind of campaign does
not fool anybody.

UGLY COERCION.
Mr. P. M. Sharpies, president of a
West Chester, Pa., factory, whioh
employs 1,000 men, has posted a pla
oard about his plant announcing that
should the "dire calamity'-1 of Mr.
Bryan's election befall the country.
in "that hour these works wiil have
to close down." We bolievo that the
Democratic National Committee re
cently offered $5,000 for conclusive
evidence of an employer's coeroion
against the candidacy of Mr. Byan.
Difficult as it is to draw the line for
the purpose! of the court, between
legitimate notice concerning present
and future trade and deliberate use of
force, it would seem that this case is
reasonably clear,. Mr. Sharpies scorns
to take refugo behind ambiguous
words. Ho frankly threatens. "Un
less you beat Bryan, " he says, "you
lose your jobs. ' '
This sort of bribery is more danger
ous than the open barter and sale of
votes, because it is subtler and harder
to exterminate. The Democratic
party and Mr. Bryan have suffered
heavily from it in other campaigns.
As a weapon of political warfare it is
pocuharly unfair and contemptible.
As an index of commercial sagacity,
it is a reflection upon any man's in
telligence. The man who thinks that
the country will go to the dogs upon
Mr. Bryan's election is simply a fool.
The mail who bases minatory notices
to His dependents noon snch reasoning
should enjoy either a fool s esteem
or a bushwhacker's punishment. Mr.
Sharpies' concern manufactures sep
arators. His apparent conception that
the earth will stop bearing grain
when Mr. Bryan stops into the White
House is profoundly interesting from
the point of view of an alienist.
Hearing of the above throat, Charles
J. Miller, the leading business man of
Newfaue. N. x. . owner of a large
separator, a coal and wood yard and
a general store, makes publio an
nouncement that he has cancelled his
orders with the Sharpies Separator
Company, of West Chester, Pa., be
cause he believes that the company is
attempting ot coerce its employes for
political purposes. This is good med
icine for those who attempt coercion,
and if more would take this lesson
and act the Fame it mig'it have a ten
dency to check this evil praotice.
Tho Amorican athletes at the Mara
thon games in London, it is said,
were treated with great discourtosy
by the English management and if it
were tossiuie to creat) an interna
tional ill feeling from so trivial a cir
cumstance it would be done. But let
tins grouch of t lie athletes be offset
by the complaint of Dr. Smith, one of
the editors of the .London Lancet,
against the treatment of the medical
visitors to the Tuberculosis Congress
recently held in Washington. Dr.
Smith compares our hospitality jvith
that of the 1'rencli and makes a very
unfavorable showiug for our enter
tainment. He says that the fight
Bgainst tuberculosis has been put back
three years as a result of shabby tieat
ment accorded to the congress. In
Paris the oongress was entertained in
the Palace of Fine Arts which was
oponed by the .French president in
person and every possible courtesy
was extended by the government. In
Washington permission to meet in the
Capitol was refused by opposition of
Speaker Cannon and the Tuberculosis
Oongross was compelled to moot
an unfinished museum in which the
workmen were still hammering.
Moreover there was no appropriation
by the government which did not act
as a host, and insufficient funds for
expenses had to be obtained by oontri
butious. Presidont Koosevolt
charged with discourtesy for seuding
as his proxy to make 'the opening
speech the secrotary of the treasury.
Mr. uorteiyou. ur. Adoiph smith
evidently as much disgruntled as some
of our athletes were. It is possible
that Dr. Smith and the athletes think
more highly of themsolveB than they
ought to tliink. Blood is still thicker
than water and tho spirit of tho Eng-
ish language, iitorature, laws and
institutions will go inarching on, over
Dr. smith and tho athletes.
Mr. Taft'B plea that Ins party can
receive largo contributions from the
uterests to bo benefitted without be
ing obligated to them or influenced by
them, recalls tho plea which Francis
Bacon mado when impeached before
the house of lords for taking bribes.
He said that while he bad taken
them, they lmd never influenced his
jmlgumont, but he was removed in
disgraco. It is a pity he did not
know of tho modern method by
which one protects himself trom in
nonce, while at the same time getting
the benefit of the contributions bv
merely saying that it is distinctly uu
dorstood by tho aiver that the re
ceivur will not bo influenced by the
gift. But men are usually influenced
y their benefactors. And this re
alls the story of a discussion that
was going on at Lincoln several years
ago winio tno legislature was in ses
sion. A number of legislators, lobby
ists and newspaper men wore seated
m a hotel office discussing the ques
ion, "Whst is an honest man.
After sevoral opinions had been ex
pressed someone asked Herman
rnnnio, a Douglas county member, to
give an answer. Herman replied
veil I tink an honest man is one
who will stay bought." The great
oriKiratioiig nuance tho republicin
party s campaign aud thev will con
trol tho republican officials whom
they elect.
If Iheodore Roosevelt is really look
ing for undesirable publio men he
need go no further than tho republi
sh national ticket. Let him lunuiro
how many millions of dollars of In
dian oil leases have been given away
since James Sherman was made chair
man of tho committee on Indian
affairs of the honso of representatives
et him find out what the Indians
ever got for those leases in excess of
bottle of whiskey. Let huu find
out how many times those leases wore
lven away in some omnibus UP'
propnation bill, and how they were
granted in bills whose title stated
their contents. If tho republican
party proposes to appeal to the con
science, the patiiotism and the incor
ruptible citizenship of tho country it
mnst rid itself of tho candidacy of
James Sherman, or its oamiaigu is a
forgery on its face.
Evidence of progress in Spain since
the United States charitably relieved
that country of tho incubus of her
imarls in the Antilles and in the
Orient, as Cuba and the Philippines
wore once called, is shown in the fact
that Spain is the sole country in Eu
rope that has escaped the business
depression ot the last-year. It has
actually shown gains for tho last six
months in both imixirts and exixirts
and its issue of bonds was largely
oversubscribed bv its own people.
Nothing Imore fortunate could havn
hapienod that country than the relief
of tho exhausting and corruptive ex.
peiiso of her colonics.
Jack London's New Book,
Jack London has just written a
book of 143,000 words entitled "Mar
tin Eden." The Pacific Monthly has
purohased for $7,000 the serial rights
for this vivid story. It began in the
September number of the Paoifio
Monthly and will run for twelve
months. "Martin Eden" is a charac
ter study the story of a fighter a
fighter as a newsboy in the alleys of
San Francisco; a fighter as a rowdy in'
slums ; and finally a fighter for educa
tion and culture, struggling agsiust
the odds of common birth and vulgar
environment, with a desperation of
courage that prenents a powerful
blending of brutality of strength with
sublimity of purpose. His inspiration
is a woman of the higher sphere of
life, but his motive is the mighty im
pulse that animates a sonl and brain
born to expand until fettering ignor
ance is sundered and iguoble influence
trampled under foot.
It is not too much to say of "Mar
tin Eden" that it possesses more of
fasoination and virility, grips the
imagination and sympathies more
keenly, and imparts more of courage
than any book produced in years.
Send 50 oents in stamps to the Pa
cific Monthly, and they will mail
you the Pacifio Monthly for six
months beginning with the Septem
ber number, in which the first install

' Ex-Governor David R. Francis, of
Missouri, is confident of the eleotion
of Bryan and Kern. "He is making
more votes every hour in my section
of the oountry, " paid the former cabi
not member of Cleveland's adminis
tration, "and conditions are the same
in a number of other states whioh I
have toured. " Continuing he said:
"Missouri will give Bryan the largest
majority that any presidential candi
date ever received. Everybody is for
the Nebraskan. Employer, employee,
business and factory interests want
that leader of demooracy. There are
many reasons why the business men
of my state 'should vote for Bryan.
His ideas and his platform is to our
liKing. We believe in every "man
ownine his own property and we' do
not want a few to be the controlling
spirits. Our motto is equality to all
and favoritism to nono. If anyone
thinks that Mr. Bryan will not carry
Missourri with flying colors let him
go through our state and invesiigate.
The name Bryai has become a house
hold word and I am almost, certain
that by the dawn of November 4th
Bryan will be elooted President of the
United States." Ex-Governor Francis
has always been a good forecaster of
presidential elections and he asserts
that the Bryan sentiment has swept
the country.
If we should follow the advice of
the Oregonian and some of the great
papers as well as many 'politicians,
we must adopt a monarchial govern
ment. We are glad to find compara
tively few of such as compared to the
whole. The best service that can be
rendered for permanent prosperity is
to rebuke this assumption so careless
ly cast to the poople by those who are
seekii g to create in the public mind
that continued prosperity depends on
the success of a particular party, aud
to rebuke in a manner decisive. Our
form of government contemplates
changes from time to time, and
nothing could be so disastrous or so
vile in tho mind of a good true Amer
ican patriot as this attempt to instill
in the people's minds the belief that
there is danger to business in chang
ing a portion of the officers of our
government. What logio is there in
the matter? If the people cannot
change their officers without crebting
a panio, then the logical step is to go
to a monarchy. In other words, shall
the poople rule?
The distinguished president of
Priuoeton University is down on ath
letics and Becret Greek letter socie
ties. In a recent address at Haver
ford College at the seventy-fifth anni
versary of that institution he spoke
very emphatically saying, "The na
tion needs trained and disciplined
men ; men who know and who can
tliink j men who oau perceive and
interpret; whose' minds are accus
tomed to difficult tasks; whose faoul
tios are instrumoutB of precision, and
whoso judgements are steadied by
knowledgo. Such men the nation is
not getting from the present college
life and cannot get until that life is
organized in a different spirit and
for a different porposo. Athletics are
overdone. The trouble is men are not
iuterestod in Btudy. They have no
timo for it. One of the bright stu
dents once told me be had no time to
take up a certain line of study as ho
was too busy running the college.
He was looked op to by the under
graduates for suggestions and help in
organizing all kinds of clubs."
The Yankees of the East and the

American tar is a Tartar when he is

Tho president of the proposed Santo

MRS. CLARA L MILLER.
The following testimonials represent actual experience of every-d&y life.
women who have been ill and have found a reliable remedy in Peruna.
It means a great deal to the women of America to have at hand a remedy capable of giving suoh relief. Consti
pation, rheumatism, kidney trouble, bronchitis and a host of other catarrhal conditions are relieved by Pernna. At
least this is what the women say. They have no object in saying such things, except to render truthful testimony
to their suffering sisters.
Peruna Is making such friends every day. It is the testimony of the people that has made Peruna so Justly famous
Chronic Bronchitis.
Mrs. Clara L. Miller, Box 71, Columbia
Sta., Seattle, Wash., formerly vice pres
ident of Skoogay Country Club, writes:
"Nine bottleB of Peruna cured me of a
protracted case of bronchitis. There la
no superior remedy that I know of, as
the action of Peruna on the vaea motor
svstem of nerves is very beneficial. It
Increases the tone of the system and aids
nature to perform her functions.
"I have recommended it to a number
of my friends, who speak in the same
high terms of It. I have certainly found
It a most efficacious medicine."
Nervous, Tired and Weak.
Mrs. Christina Smukalla, 490 Winslow
Ave., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I trust
every one suffering from Bystemio ca
tarrh will read this and profit by it.
'I was in a very bad condition indeed,
when I began to take Peruna, and my
friends as well as myself were very
much alarmed over my condition. I
was always nervous, could not sleep at
night, my food d me no good, and I
was always tired and weak. I tried
several doctors, but found no relief.
"Finally I took two bottles of Peruna
and felt like a different woman. How
ever, I did not stop there, but kept on
with It until I had taken several bottles,
when I felt completely cured, aud have
remained so ever since. I can eat and
Bleep now."
"The Fruit Grower." of St. Josoph.
Missouri, has just issued a Home
seekers' Edition, which contains an
extended report trom all the fruit
growing districts of the West, and no
one state receives as much attention
as Oregon There is page after page
of illustration and text, and every
part of the state is given prominence.
In faot, Oregon probably gets more at
tention than any other two states.
This is true because the state is better
organized, doing better advertising,
has more good ' pictures and has
learned how to present its resources
and attractions bettor than any other
state in the Union.

INTRODUCTORY
TO BE FOLLOWED BY
"REFLECTIONS ON THE ONE-TALENT-MAN"
Perhaps you are traveling in a beaten path. Possibly, today, you
live yesterday over again. Possibly you are In the habit of living the
same day over and over again, 365 days of the year. Then it wiil be
some time before you are in the notion of entertaining a little change
of programme. But you'll get around to it. You are the man we are
talking to. After this, read in following issues of this paper, "Reflec
tions on the One-Talent Man."
You learned to stand alone when some two years of age. You are
old enough to learn to THINK alone now. Did it ever occur to you
that most people NEVER DO learn to think alone? When you feel
that you can listen to something a little out of the ordinary we are
going to propose that you become one of the 300 Individuals who, as
proprietors, are going to constitute the foundation of a great mercan
tile enterprise.
Don't hold up your hands in horror. You have contributed your
share toward the building up of many a great enterprise. The only
difference Is this: You didn't retain any evidence of the money you
put In the business so the title to the sky-scraper, the block It occupies
and the goods It contains the title to It Is all In the other fellow. But
your money did the work your money built the palace of the poor
merchant who used to sell you goods In a dingy little shack on a side
street. This Is the "other side" of the story of the rise from the poor
clerk to the millionaire merchant.
Perhaps you, kind reader, before you have gotten this entirely off
your mind, will be prepared to become one of the 300. You like, no
doubt, to do what most every one else is doing. That is because, like
most every one else, you want others to think for you.- But remember
this: The man who goes to the front Is the man who gets out of the
beaten path. He gets out of the old rut, cuts across lots, and while
the multitude plods along he bobs up far ahead. When you have
thought of all the possible reasons why you should NOT be one of the
proprietors of the establishment where you do business, then you will
be prepared to consider the reasons we are going to advance why you
SHOULD BE one of the proprietors. This later.
E. W. Mellien & Co., is a corporation, organized for the purpose of
dealing In all merchandise needed In the complete equipment of a
home. The stockholders elect three directors and they conduct the
business through a manager selected by them. Par value of the stock
is $10 per share and there are 600 shares unsold, which are now
placed on the open market.
The public was not asked to take this stock at the beginning of
the enterprise. It is offered now after the business is established and
after the stock Is on an actual earning basis of 10 per cent. January
1st, next, a statement will be prepared from the books of the corpora
tion for the benefit of all stockholders, and this will show the stock to
have an earning capacity at that time GREATER THAN 10 PER
CENT. We venture this prediction and you will see the fact bear out
the prediction. One year from January 1st, next, every share of the
capital stock of E. W. MELLIEN & CO., now worth $10.00, will be
worth $20.00, and will have an earning capacity of 20 per cent.
If you have not already guessed it we will later show you the ob
ject In distributing this stock instead of placing It In the hands of a
few Individuals. We are sellng agents for ths stock and invite your
Inquiry regarding it either in person or by letter, Call on or address

A Good Word for Pe ru na.
Mrs. S. L. Jewell, B. F. D. 1, Freeport,
Pa., writes :
"Haying used Pernna myself for many
years with beneficial effects, and ob
serving the good it has done others of
my acquaintance, L cannot but say a
good word in behalf of Peruna."
Keeps Pe ru na In the House.
Mrs. Maria Qoertz, Orien ta, Oklahoma,
writes : "My husband, children and my
self have used your medicines, and we al
ways keep them in the house in case of
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and Dr. Hartman's in
valuable advice and books. People
ask about me from different places, and
are surprised that I can do all of my
housework alone, and that I was cured
by the doctor of chronlo catarrh. My
husband was cured of asthma, my
daughter of earache and catarrh of the
stomach, and my son of catarrh of the
throat. When I was sick I weighed 100
pounds; now I weigh 140.
"Dr. Hartman's remedies have proven
to be reliable and wonderful. Their
effect upon the system is remarkable.
Peruna quiets the nerves, and is a great
specific for all forms of chronio catarrh.
"I am very glad to say that I can
write you that I am cured in every way
of catarrh, with which I had suffered
terribly for ten years, I cannot thank
you enough for your advice."
Boston is undoubtedly the most for

sell thoatrical programs, check over
coats, umbrellas and hats and charge
two sous and they will have the leal
thing.

Constipation, Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Mahala Held, Corbyvllle, Ont.,
Canada, writes:
"Your celebrated remedies hare been
a wonderful boon to me In my old age.
I have not been In so good health for
several years as now.
"I was troubled with constipation,
rheumatism and kidney trouble. A
little over two years ago I completely
lost my health, becoming almost help
less, when a dear friend sent me your
remedies, Peruna and Manalin.
"I began to take them, following the
directions on the bottles. I very soon
began to feel benefit edJiy their use, and
continued to take them.
"I am now completely recovered from
the above ailments, in fact, better than
I have been for years past.
"I cannot praise the remedies too
highly and will always reoommend
them to others."
Pe-ru-na In Tablet Form.
For two years Br. Eartman and his
assistants have Incessantly labored to
create Peruna In tablet form, and their
strenuous labors have just been crowned
with success. People who objeot to
liquid medicines can now seoure Pe
runa tablets, which represent the
medicinal Ingredients of Peruna. Eaoh
tablet is equivalent to one Average dose
of Peruna.
"After all tliat has been said about
lack of demand for the box apples of
the Northwest his season, " says the
Chicago Packer, "there seem to be
some pretty big deals being made in
that section and no doubt the prices
will prove to be profitable to the
growers. The quality of the fruit
grown in that section and the man
er in which it is nut nr can't be over
looked by the trade when it comes to
laying in supplies for the winter's
business."
Senator Fulton advocates the viola
tion of their pledges to the people by
statement JNo. I. members of the legis
latere. And he says he is a thorough
republican, and doos not admit that
his party ever did or can do anything
wrong. He is one ot ttie sort or pub
lic men whom the people, the repub
lican rank and file ,as well as the
democrats, are beginning to weed out
of public service.

there is unexcelled on the Pacific
coast.
High prioes for eggs and the rather
unfavorable condition of the poultry
market would naturally indicate that
it would be the part of wisdom for
farmers to hold their laying poultry
for future supplies of eggs. The dry
weather and high price of feed of
course have led many farmers to un
load thoir poultry more freely than
usual.
Producers of flue fruits throughout
the Northwest, ana particularly those
of Oregon, fully appreciate the ihelp
they are receiving from Portland "mer
chants, who give up their show win
dows for a display of theBe products.
Exhibits from Hosier and Lincoln
county, Oregon, and Lewiston, Idaho,
have attracted much attenticn the
past week.
M. Grant Hamilton, who is in
charge of the Chicago Headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor
at the Victoria Hotel, believes Bryan
and Kern will be elected. No man in
the country is in more complete touch
with the labor situation and it is his
opinion that Mr. Bryan will get at
least 90 per cent of the labor vote.
Hon. J. W. Bailey, state dairy and
food commissioner, has been made
chairman of the season ticket sale of
the Portland Country Club and Live
stock Assocaition for 191)9. Mr. Bailey
is determined that five-thousand tick
ets at $3 uach must be sold before the
close of the present year.
This week the first foreign potatoes
of the season arrived at .New York
and the indications are that there will
be heavy supplies from abroad after
about November 1. The talk of a
shorteued crop in this country has
been heard abroad.
Winter is beginning to pnt in an ap
pearance, which as usual means that
thousands of poor people in the big
cities will be frozen nnder the reign
of the protected coal trust.
The present.high prices for egge, of
course, will lead the daily newspapers
to print a lot of "rot" abont an egg
trust and its control of the entire sup
ply of the country.
