Balfour Refuses to Join Issue
With Opposition.
HIS WHOLE PARTY ABSENT
Vote of Censure on His Fiscal Policy
Carried Without a Dissenting
Vote-Speeches Mads to
Empty Benches.
LONDON, March 2S. In the House of
Commons tonight a vote of censure of
Premier Balfour's fiscal policy was unan
imously carried Ministerialists abstaining
from voting.
The session was a repetition of the ses
sion of March 22, when a resolution In
troduced by Mr. Alnsworth (Free Trade
liberal), condemning the government's
proposition to Impose a general duty on
manufactured goods, was -carried by a
vote of 254 to 2. The Ministerial front
benches tonight were entirely deserted,
and only about a dozen Unionists, princi
pally free traders, were present, when
Mr- Walton (Liberal), moved a resolu
tion as follows:
"In view of the declaration made by
the Prima Minister, this Souse thinks It
necessary to record its condemnation ox
his DOlicr of fiscal retaliation."
The opposition had hoped that, in view
of the fact that this was a vote or cen
sure, the government would take up the
challenge, and would not adhere to Its
declared Intention of ignoring finance res
olutions of private members; but Mr. Bal
four declined to be drawn out, and the
opposition was drlxen to address denun
ciatory speeches to empty benches and
reap the indirect -benefit of the effect of
the government's refusal to fight when
challenged.
Mr. "Walton's motion was carried with
out a division. In reply to an inquiry by
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
speaker said the motion had been record
ed as carried, nem con.
At a Cabinet meeting held March 21 it
was decided that In future the govern
ment would not use pressure upon Its
followers la regard to the opposition's
resolutions framed to commit the govern
ment on the finance Question. The fol
lowers of Joseph Chamberlain took sim
ilar action, and decided not to take part
in debates or divisions on resolutions
touching the tariff or fiscal question. The
action of the government was equivalent
to a declaration that the fiscal question
is not a critical party issue.
POPE LEO BLESSES BASILICA
Gorgeous Ceremony in Honor of Du
plicate of Lourdes Church.
ROME, March 28. Above the grotto
which stands before the famous tower
of Leo IV in the Vatican gardens, where
the late Pope spent his Summers, has
been built an exact fac, simile of the
Basilica of Lourdes. The new building
was solemnly blessed by Pope Pius X to-
oay in tne presence or a large assem
blage. The expenses were covered by
subscription opened in France by the
Bishop of Tarbcs.
The facade of the basilica is decorated
with portraits of Pius IX, Leo XIII. Phis
X and the Bishop of Tarbes in imitation
mosaic.
The Pope arrived on the spot in a car
riage, escorted by Noble Guards in bril
liant uniforms, and was received by the
Papal Court, which made a striking ef
fect with its gorgeous costumes in the
blazing sun. The pontiff, who was warm
ly cheered, assumed the pontifical robes
and proceeded immediately with the cere
mony of blessing the basilica, which was
most brief.
Afterwards the Pope imparted tljo apos
tolic blessing to the 10,000 persons present.
Including about 750 Americans, Spaying
special attention to the French pilgrim
age, which came to Rome under the-lead-ership
of the Bishop of Tarbes on 'pur
pose to be present at the ceremony.
The Pope showed great satisfaction at
today's function. He said that all his
life he had desired to visit Lourdes, but
had always been prevented. As he was
now in the Vatican as Pope it was out
of the question to go there. Therefore,
he was most pleased to have a reproduc
tion of the basilica of Lourdes in the
gardens.
The Bishop of Tarbes collected 515,000
to defray the expenses of the work.

MILITARY POLICY OF BRITAIN
Army Needed to Defend Frontiers,
Not Compete With Military Powers.
LONDON, March 28. In the House of
Commons today Secretary of War Arnold
Forster. on a motion in committee on the
army estimates, made his annual state
ment. He defended the policy the War
Office and said the record for his admin
istration showed that a number of changes
had been made looking to placing the
army on an efficient footing. The regular
army could not be reduced because Great
Britain was the only country in the world
which was obliged to maintain an army
on a war footing in times of peace. The
danger of an invasion was not real.
The, principal duty of the British army
was to fight across seas and defend
frontiers. They must eliminate the Idea
of competition with great military "coun
tries of the world and should merely
apply their whole attention to supplying
an army capable of defending the fron
tiers. The lesson of the Russo-Japanese
"War was that quality and not quantity
produced success in modern warfare.
Mr. Arnold-Forster outlined the changes
made and contemplated, and said it gave,
him great pleasure to be able to say
that the Dominion of Canada had under
taken from a certain date to bear the
cost of guardianship of the great imperial
fortresses situated In that country. He
added that it would take seven years
to make an impression on the great prob
lems of army reorganisation. "What then
could be expected in seven months? He
urged the House to deal with the ques
tion from a patriotic ana not from
party or political standpoint.
BL
fight between the Hill and the Harriman
interests may result any day in abroga
tion of the compact entered into two
years ago between tnem wnereoy eacn
agreed to keep off the grass of the other.
Mr. worthington is fully as reticent as
his predecessors regarding the plans of
his company. If It has any plans ror
opening up Central Oregon. His disin
clination to talk on such matters is, in
measure, explained by his recent ar
rival and consequent unfamiliar! ty with
the situation.
But from a man prominently inter
ested in Central Oregon development It
Is learned that not all the surveyors
now in the . Central Oregon field are
Northern Pacific men- According to
his version, and he is in close touch
with railroad affairs affecting his re
gion, the O. R. & N. is making- great
effort to locate an economical line of
easy grade through the center of the
state.
The Columbia Southern, for somo
distance north of Sbanlko and for sev
eral miles bevond. passes through a
region that would be productive -of lit
tle or no revenue for a railroad. Fur
thermore, construction of the road
south of Shanlko for many miles would
be very expensive work.
East and West Line.
To escape this expensive construc
tion and at the same time reach the
producing section by the shortest
route, it Is said that the O. R. & N.
will eventually throw a line across the
state from east to west. This would
brlnr the fine wheat lands of the
Agency Plains and Haystack country
in easy communication witn .foruana
by way of the Willamette Valley, and
feeder thrown south tnrougn central
Oregon would tap the rich pine belt
of the Deschutes River. The lumber
traffic which would bo developed In
that sactlon is one of the most alluring
factors of the situation and its logical
route to market is by way of an east
and west road, instead of by an exten
sion of the Columbia Southern, the
haul over the latter road and the O.
R. & N. to Ontario, Or., being several
hundred miles longer than by a spur
leading "north from Bend to the pro
posed east and west road.
It 1s the opinion of nearly all Port-
landers who have visited the field that
either the agricultural resources or
the timber resources would be suffi
cient to warrant the construction ot
the road, and to a large number of the
dwellers In the central and southern
part of the state it is a matter of in
difference whether it is an east and,
west or a north and south road that
enters the country. The peculiar ad
vantage of the timber traffic out of
that country lies In the fact that It
would In no way Inerfere with the de
mand for lumber from east or west of
the Cascade Mountains, as the white
and yellow pine of the Deschutes re
gion fills a demand separate and apart
from the fir. spruce and hemlock east
of the mountains.
ere ace to poisons used in proprietary med
icines. It is true that some medicines
contain poisons in small percentages-, but
tne use is not nearly as general as- In
physicians" prescriptions. A great many
drugs which are recognised by every phy
sician as helpful In small doses are pois
onous when taken In excess.
An elderly druggist told me a few days
ago that he bad personally examined more
than 100.000 physicians prescriptions!, and,
by actual count, 0 per cent of them con
tained an opiate. Tet analysis shows not
a trace of opiate in the largest sellers
among the proprietary remedies.
Strychnine Is another dangerous drug
largely prescribed by physicians. It Is
used as a tonic and stimulant. Tet this
is a drug- rarely found in proprietaries.
The maker of a proprietary medicine
must be more careful about the use of
any poison than the physician. The phy
sician is In a position to direct his doses
and to watch, the results. He is able to
take chances which no maker of a gen
eral remedy will take, for fear that the
direction on the bottle will not be ad
hered to.
There are thousands of physicians whose
Interests are opposed to proprietary reme
dies. They are ready to denounce a ready
made remedy at the slightest evidence of
harm from it. Yet how seldom we hear
of any harm from proprietaries. I have
myself never heard of a single authenti
cated case.
It is the lack of poison, rather than
its presence, which forms the real objec
tion to proprietaries. It is by using a
poison which the medicine maker avoids
that the physician often secures a greater
effect. The maker of a remedy has too
much at stake to use anything which
will result In occasional harm. And this
caution leads him often to omit Ingredi
ents which he knows to be valuable.
Proprietary remedies are used not alone
by the poor who cannot afford to call a
physician. They are employed by those
to whom expense is of no .importance.
And in ordinary ailments, when a physi
cian is called, he prescribes a ready-made
remedy. Proprietary remedies are at some
time taken by all of us. They are found
In nearly every home.
And I know of no business where fraud
has less chance of success than in medi
cine. A worthless remedy Is very quickly
found out. A sick -person will not long
continue a remedy which does not help.
The lack of merit in a food may remain
long undiscovered, but if a medicine lacks
virtue the fact is at once apparent.
When I need a remedy for any ordinary
ailment, my choice gees to a remedy so
good that it made its maker rich.

ment from the Church of Rome of her
marriage with Colonel Frod H. Parkhurst,
of Bangor, Me., who was her first hus

the Parkhurst-Reld marriage was cele
brated with a dispensation. Parkhurst
being a Protestant. The marriage Is con
sidered null and void. It being established
that Colonel Parkhurst was never bap

Catholic, was divorced In 1S33 from Colo
nel parkhurst, and In 1201 married Prince
Rospigliosi. The division of estates

held to await the action of the grand

mony In the case, and set bail at $400.

and wept, but the scene did not Impress

something stronger than tears to save
the prisoner from a term In the "pen."
John Rabyor. Jalntor in the Oddfellows'
Hall, First and Alder streets; Louis Pape,
chief Inspector for the Portland General
Electric Company, and others, testified.
They declared that Sing Chong tapped
the wires on the top of his building at
230 Alder, and used the current for light
ing his celestial den. He had cut off the
Insulation from two wires, they said, and
had lapped them around the big feed

was the answer.
After some further discussion Judge
Hogue set aside his former sentence and
reduced the fine to 510.
Then Highbinder Jong Chong , was
"velly" happy and went away with a
"fiend" rejoicing.
"I'm too busy to come into the Muni
cipal Court."
Such was the answer sent back to Judge
Hogue yesterday morning by William
Iscnsce. who conducts a machine shop
at 29 North Fifth street, when Judge
Hojgue dispatched Special Policeman Mal
let to summon him. Iscnsce is charged
with a violation of the sidewalk or
dinance. It being alleged that In front of
his establishment there are obstructions.
"Well, let a warrant be Issued for Isen

Judge Hogue.
Lter however, an "attorney entered the
courtroom saying he represented Isensee,
and asking for a delay of a day or two.
He said he would see what could be done.
To this Judge Hogue agreed.

Should the Northern- Pacific extend tho

the O. R. & N. undoubtedly would throw
a line of its own Into that region, prob
ably running east and west through the

it has already projected thus abandon
ing the policy that has kept Interior Ore
gon undeveloped within the zone of tho

Plans for .i Harriman line from the

he was president of the O. R. & X.. and
by E. E. Calvin, when he was general
manager of the O. R. & N. and tho

The fact Is that the term ''patent medi
cines." as aDDlled to advertised remedies,
is a misnomer. "Very few of the remedies
advertised to the laity are patented. The
real patent medicines are advertised to
Dhvslcians alone. They are brought Into
use almost solely through physicians' pre
scriptions.
Practical y all the synthetic cnemicais
produced In late years are protected by
patents. The most valuable products used
by modem physicians are patented, xne
coal tar preparations which are most
widely used. and. the most effective germi
cides. are among them. All physicians
prescribe these remedies, yet they know
that their owners control a monopoly.
The largest pharmaceutical hus?s are
not those which make remedies advertised
In the newspapers. They make the reme
dies which are advertised to physicians
alone, and they control those remedies ab
solutely by a patent or trademark. If the
medical profession ceased to use these
patented remedies, half the prescriptions
which are written would need to be al
tered.
This does not bear out Mr. Bok's the
ory that the discoverer of a remedy of
real value gives It freely to the world
The custom with those who Invent such
remedies today is to patent them and con
trol them. Just as docs the man who In
vents a new machine. And the medical
profession recognise and approve the
method, for every modern physician pre
scribes patented remedies more frequently
than any others. And enormous enter
prises are built solely on this fact.
The mere fact, therefore, that a man
controls a remedy, cither by a patent
or trademark, does not argue against
It. It is rather evidence that the man
has something which-he considers worth
controlling.
If the man. in addition, spend? large
sums In advertising, whether to. physicians
or to the laity, it forms to me further
evidence of value. Nothing is more cer
tain than the fact that a worthless article
cannot bo advertised profitably.
Those who know advertising know that
the cost of selling a bottle or package to
new user Is several times the profit
made on It. The only hope of profit comes
through continued use; and, without
merit, continued use cannot be expected.
When a man has made a success In ad
vertised a medicine. It is to me the best
evidence possible that be has something
good.
A physician may put up a prescription
for some individual case without giving
much thought to IL But if that physician
Is going to spend a fortune on advertis
Ing. with no possibility of getting his
money back unless he satisfies millions of
users, he Is naturally going to put up the
best prescription he can make. If he Is
wise he will get the best . prescription
for his purpose that any man can make.
Tben there Is the question of alcohol
which Mr. Bok seems to consider such a
perilous one. All the fluid extracts and
tinctures used In medicine must employ
alcohol as a solvent and preservative. !
Prohibit a physician from using alcohol
in his prescriptions and you would make
the practice of medicine impossible. If a
physician must use alcohol In certain pre
scriptions, shall we complain that a ready
made medicine employs it for the same
purpose?
If we are going to avoid the use of
alcohol we must banish the extracts and
essences used in our kitchen. Fluid ex
tracts, whether they are medicinal .or cu
linary, cannot be made or preserved with
out alcohol.
The use of alcohol In medicine Is ap
proved by the pharmacopoeias of all na
tions. It Is In. accord with the practice
of all medical authorities In the world.
The abuse of alcohol Is another mat
ter, but the cost alone Is enough to pre
vent abuse. Alcohol costs about C60 per
gallon. It Is too expensive for any medi
cine maker to use more than he needs of
it. And he cannot hope that people are
going to take the medicine because of the
alcohol, when good whisky can be pur
chased for one-fifth as much.
A dose ot medicine which contains even
SO per cent of alcohol does not seem to me
a very dangerous matter. That means
one-fifth of a teaspoonful of alcohol at a
time. Physicians do not hesitate to give
brandy to a child in teaspoonful doses,
and brandy Is half alcohol. "When one
compares medicine with wine or beer, he
should also compare the dosage. One
