A very proper interposition cf the
initiative petition would be to get a
vote repealing all laws under which
the state militia is maintained and to
divert the continuing appropriation
running for its support in favor of
public education, say for the support
of three state norma! schools. This
would bring before the people a ques
tion about w hich there would be some
thinking. There is hardly a doubt
that the militia would have to go in
favor of the normals, the Governor's
staff and Portland's show regiment
along with the lot The state can
very well dispense with its militia, if
it comes to a matter of cutting down
expenses. The militia system has
been productive of more disaster than
good in the United States and In
emergencies has occasioned the Na
tional Government much embarrass
ment when it consented to depend
upon it for important service. In the
state it is of no account, except la
riots, and often has proven unreliable
on such duty. If we are short of
money in Oregon here is one of the
expenditures that can be loppd off
without detriment to the n-'cessary
public service. Ashland Tidings.

It is possible to elect a Republican
successor to Governor Chamberlain
who will be in every way acceptable
to the people of Oregon a man who
has the ability to perform with credit
the duties of the hich cvfP.ce, who has
not been identified with factional
quarrels, and who is even guilty of
being sober every day in the year.
I'nless a Republican with these quali
fications is nominated, a large number
of Republicans may see no good rea
son for votine aeaint (nivernor
Chamberlain. This is not a dream,
but widespread sentiment. Lincoln
County Leader.

The enforcement of the city ordi
nance prhibiting the leaving of wood
and other materials on the street to
the obstruction of travel, would do
much in helping to improve the gener
al appearance of the town. We have
in mind a pile of cord-wood that for
six weeks has not been disturbed and
it occupies a t conspicuous location
on Main street to justify a longer con
tinuance of the unsightly nuisance.
Let's have at least one presentable
street in the city. At least keep your
cord-wood on a side street.
In this line I can please yoti
on price and quality.

NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY.
From Napier New Zealand Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Hoard
of New South Wale. Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough
md:c;nes that were sold in that
market. Out of the entire list they
found only one that they declared was
er.tirely free from ail poisons. This
exception was Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, made by the Chamberlain
Medicine Company, pes Moines, Iowa,
C. S. A. The absence of all narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and
best that can be had: and it is with
a feeling of security that any mother
en give it to her little ones. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is especially
recommended by its makers for
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
cough. This remedy is for sale by
