HOW A MINORITY HOLDS
SOURI.
MIS-
In the last Missouri election, that of
November, 1910, the total vote was,
Republican 323,074, Democratic 319,
909, Socialist 19,831, Prohibitionist
G720, Socialist Labor 2229. The Dem
ocratic vote was smaller than the
Republican vote, and 15,900 less than
half the total vote. At the same time
a legislature was elected and the
State Senate, as for forty years past,
was strongly Democratic. The di
vision of parties in the State Senate
was, Democrats 22, Republicans 12.
Half the State. Senate of 1909 held
over. That was made up of Demo
crats 23, Republicans 11. The Dem
ocratic lead in this body has been
two to one for many years, and re
mains just the same when the Demo
crats lose in the popular vote of Mis
souri. It will be seen that the State
Senate is no longer subject to party
change in elections. One party has
a two-to-one majority nailed down,
no matter how the people vote. At
the last election the Democrats polled
only 47 per cent of the total vote of
the State, but their share of State
senators was 64 per cent. The trick,
is turnsd by crooked districting
For forty years the State Senate
has been continuously Democratic
and is Democratic now by the sur
prising disparity of two to one,
though the State went Republican at
the last election. . Voters of other
parties and independent voters are
equally sufferers with Republicans.
This surprising block of Democrats in
the State Senate holds one branch
of the legislature no matter how the
vote of Missouri goes, and to hold one
branch is sufficient to defeat any
change in the laws of the State. Only
one way seems open by which this
outrage on a representative form of
government can be redressed. The
voters of the State can do the dis
tricting themselves by the initiative
and the question will thus be put up
to them next November. A petrified
State Senate has much to do with the
decline of population in seventy Mis
souri counties. Intelligent, progres
sive legislation is impossoble as long
as the incubus defies the ballot.
LANE DECLINES TO
ENTER SENATE RACE
PORTLAND, March 2. (Special)
Dr. Harry Lane will not be a candi
date for United States senator, or for
any other office at the coming primary
election. After long consideration,
during which he has been the center
of political attention in both parties,
he flatly declares he has resolved to
keep out of the political whirlpool.
"I will not be a candidate because
I do not want the office of United
States senator badly enough to make
a campaign for it,r he said. "I have
all along been personally disinclined
to go out and make the fight that
would be necessary if I entered the
campaign.
"I believe if I became a candidate
I could win, because I could go out
and show the peeople wherein the
leading Republican candidates do not
stand in position to give this state
the right kind of representation at
Washington.
"I have not considered what the
political effect may or may not be.
I have reached my decision solely for
the reason I stated before, that I do
not want the office enough to make
the campaign. It would be a great
honor, and I appreciate the nice
things that some people have said of
me in urging me to run, but my mind
is fully made up.
''No, I will not be a candidate for
Congress. If I were to seek any office
now it would be United States sena
tor. I am seeking no office at all."
Dr. Lane's decision leaves a list
of three Democratic candidates for
United States senator. These are
Walter M. Pierce, of Hot Lake; Mil
ton A. Miller, of Lebanon, and Oliver
Perry Cohow, of Roseburg. Miller is
a member of the state senate and
both the other aspirants formerly
served in that body. All three are
actively seeking the nomination.
With no candidate among the Dem
ocrats from Portland ,the three out
siders will fight for the Multnomah
vote on equal terms, and the result
will be watched with peculiar interest.

TIONING OF THE HUMAN BODY,
WHICH IS COMMONLY EXPRESS
ED BY THE TERM "HEALTH."
Persons afflicted with incurable diseases or. who are imbecile or

is entitled to the protection of the state when he exists only as a
mere possibility. I therefore urge the establishment of regulations
by the state to limit marriage .to HEALTHY and NORMAL in

The invested health of this country, in the health of its citizens,
is threatened by POOR NUTRITION. The organism not only
needs the normal amount of food to enable it to perform its functions,
but also to enable it to keep a small reserve for use in emergencies.
I am not a believer in the starvation theory of diet. -
The invested health securities of the country are constantly threat
ened by DEBASED AND ADULTERATED FOODS. It is a
mistake to suppose that any exigencies of the food market ever justify
the debasement or adulteration of food. There is' no condition of
JUST political economy which can be urged as an excuse for such
an action.
st
The two great diseases which decimate the human race at the
present time are tuberculosis and typhoid fever, both of them specific,
infectious and contagious diseases. We segregate those suffering from
smallpox, yellow fever and leprosy, while we permit without sufficient
regulation the existence of peripatetic tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
It is the DUTY of the state, in my opinion, to segregate those suf
fering from these threatening dangers.

The congress of the United States should take early steps toward
securing in the councils of the nation an ADVISER . TO THE
PRESIDENT, charged with the protection of the health and the
proper education of the people of this country in matters relating to
their well being, both moral and physical.

Director Johnston as well . as the
Publicity Bureair of the Commercial

Helena, Ark., from competent musi
cians who- are desirous of coming to
Oregon City. - The Arkansas man,
who is on his way here, is a civil
service employe and is trying to ar
range with Postmaster Randall for a
possible transfer here. He is a
widely experienced trap drumer . and
tympani player, and has his own in
struments. Arnold Kohler, flautist, is perhaps
the most valuable acquisition the or
chestra has had for some time. He
is in business here, but he has had a
wide experience as a band musician.
In Gustave G. Fletcher, Oregon City
has gained a valuable man. Five
years in a German army regimental
band, followed by three or four years
in Uncle Sam's cavalry band work,
has given ' Mr. Fletcher much scope
and practical experience.

PEKIN, March 2. Many missiona
ries have been slaughtered by muti
neers who rose last night in Pao-Ting
Fu, according to a report received
here today.
It is thought probable, however, in
well informed circles, that only one
or two have been killed. It is believed
they are Roman Catholics. Many
civilians are killed, it Is reported and
the soldiers looted a large number
of stores.
There was a recurrence of serious
disorder here today when a detach
ment of artillery, headed by a band,
marched to the palace of Duke Kuei
Hsian, father of the Empress Dowa
ger, and shelled down the gate. They
looted much property and burned a
portion of the palace.
The foreign ministers here, after a
conference, have decided to bring into
Pekin all the available foreign troops
stationed in adjacent ports of China.
A force of 1000 troops of various
nationalities will arrive here tomor
row. A strong detachment of United
States troops has been ordered to
come from Tien Tsin immediately.
The populace has been notified that
all persons found in the streets to
night afier 8. o'clock- will be shot.
The soldiers o fthe Imperial Guard
and those belonging to Chang Huan
Chi's arm yare now nominally in con
trol of Pekin. It remains to be seen
whether they are much better than
mutineers,
ihe mutineers.

Huan Chi last night were themselves
engaged in looting ,they fought the
looters today outside the city. Pris-;
oners they took were summarily de
capitated and many headless bodies
are lying in the streets. ;
In the distant part of thee West
City considerable trouble occurred.
Whole streets of shops were looted
and many houses were set on fire. .
The civilian populace has armed
and fortified private premises, while
barricades were erected in the streets

WHAT'S BEHIND IT?
What is it that is selling 75,000 Ford cars in 1912?
What is it behind this enormous demand?
Is it unusually clever advertising?
NO! Ford advertising never attempts to .be "clever'' never aims
at the spectacular never dallies with the English language merely
states the facts of the ease so that he who runs may read,. and, read
ing, stop running and buy a FORD. . Yet that is not the big factor.
Is it unusually clever dealers?No! Ford dealers rank at the top
are all wideaweket clean, obliging, proud of the car and the good name
of firm. But there are many clever dealers trying to sell other automo
biles. ! .. . :
WHAT IS IT?
Nothing but this the guarantee of accomplishment. What sells
these 75000 is the 100,000 Ford cars already in use (one out of every
five on the street). Satisfied buyers are the backbone of the Ford suc
