BAKER STEPS OUT

BUSINESS IS HIS REASON

CORVALLIS. Or.. March 23. (Special.)
Frank C Baker has resigned as chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee of Oregon. His tetter of
resignation reached E. R. Brysou. secre
tary of the committee today. The letter
is as follows:
Office of Chairman Republican State Com
mittee. Portland. Or.. March 24. My Dear
Sir. Hryson: J herewith hand you my res
ignation as chairman of the Republican State
Central 'Committee. This step I have had
under consideration for the part lx months.
When elected in 1003 and again In 1904 I
accepted the chalrmannhlp because I war
under obligation!! to the party; but having
conducted the. June and November campaigns
of 1M and subsequently applied myself in
an endeavor to promote our party's best in
terests. I hope I have. In part at least, can
celed that obligation. Moreover, business rea
sons impel me to resign. After the nomina
tions are made 1 shall cheerfully render the
committee whatever assistance my time and
experience will warrant in conducting the
coming campaign.
Permit me to call your attention to section
43 of the direct primary which provides
for county, district and state organisations.
The prot-lsion of this section should be looked
after carefully.
Herewith I hand you a copy or the resolu
tions adopted at the Republican conference
held in this city October 12. CV and call
your Darttcular attention to the resolutlob call
ing for "a convention in each counts to ratify
all nominations made by the people and to
elect delegates to a state convention, to rat-
ify all nominations made by the people for
state offices, and to elect delegates and tc
ratify nominations for Congress made In th
respective Congressional district." etc. fc-fc
page 2. third paragraph under "direct pri-;
mary law" resolution.)
I am pleased to advise you that while In
"Washington recently I observed that leaders
of our pnrty there appreciate the Importance
of Oregon's election thle. year, and they hopv.
as they did in 1WM. that the report of the
first gun fired off thin election year may be
heard all over the land, thus stimulating our
brethren In the East for the many Congres
sional battles that are already lining up.
I thank you for your hearty co-opcralion
during my incumbency and send you my best
wishes for succens In all you may undertake
during the year, and bg to remain, with per
fect respect, your humble servant.
FRANK C. BAKBR.
Said Mr. Bryson tonight:
"Mr. Baker's resignation came as a sur
prise to me. I regrSt very much his re
tirement from the leadership of the party
In Oregon, and am certain his action will
cause universal regret on the part of the
Republicans of the state, as well as on
thcpart c-f leaders of the party elsewhere,
"Mr. Baker has served the party faith
fully, enthusiastically and successfully.
Under his leadership two great victories
were achieved, first in the state election
of 1KM, with Its greatly increased Repub
lican majority, and second. In the last
Presidential election. In which. I believe.
Oregon returned a greater majority for
.Roosevelt and Fairbanks in proportion
to the vote cast, than any other state in
the Union. It will be remembered that
In this campaign Mr. Baker was instru
mental in greatlv Increasing the vote of
Oregon by urging the registration of
Democrats as vfjtll as Republicans.
"Mr. Baker is credited by the National
Committee with having; -given to Vice
President FairbanKs and Secretary Shaw,
on the occasion of their respective visits
to Oregon, two of the greatest ovations
of the Presidential campaign.
"The passage of the direct primary law
introduced what many thought a. critical
period for the party. Mr. Baker rose to
the occasion by his Insistency that the
new method of nomlnatinc candidates be
given a fair test, and by his action in call
ing and successfully guiding the famous
conference held In Portland October 12
last, the retiring chairman . leaves fo
his successor, whoever he may be. an cn
tbuslastic'and united party-."
The news that Mr. Baker had resigned
the chairmanship of the Republican State
.Central Committee gained' rapid local cir
culation, .and his name was immediately
coupled "with an"'appoIhtment to sucVeed
Isaac L. Patterson as Collector of Cus
toms whose second term soon expires.
Mr. Baker last night denied that he was
an aspirant for the place, or had any In
tention of engaging in politics aside from
the statements jcontalncd in his letter of
resignation.
He returned from Washington. D. C.
last Friday, and while at the National
capital he was also credited with aiding
Senator Fulton In his efforts to secure
the appointment of J. A- Delllnger. ed
itor of the Astorlan. as Collector of the
Port at the latter place.
In discussing his resignation last night.
Mr. Baker reiterated the statement that
it was done purely for business reasons,
and said that he had been contemplating;
such a step for some time.
In all probability, his successor will not
be elected until after tho or-anizat!on of
the new Suite Central Committee, which
takes place shortly after the April primaries.

or. A hot fight is" on among the Repub
licans for the nominations for Sheriff
and Cierk. George W. May, of Spray;
Will Thompson and John Van Houten,
of Fossil, are candidates for Sheriff: J.
O. Butler and O. B. Robertson, of Fos

after the Clerkship.
J. T. Donnelly, the present Repre
sentative, has no opposition for a sec
ond term.
So far no Democrats have announced
for any office: it is thought that they
will got on the ticket by petition. The
present Sheriff, P. L. Kceton. a very
popular man. will probably offer for a
third term if things come Just right.
Warren Carsncr, of Spra$ ' Is being
urged to run on the Democratic ticket
for Cierk. but has, up to date, not
consented to do so.
The normal vote of this county is
about 700, of whom -150 are Republi

for a Democrat to win under the most
favorable circumstances.
Chance for a Democrat In Douglas.
ROSKBURG. Or., March 25. (Spc
clal.) The qfllce of Joint Representa
tive from Douglas and Jackson Coun
ties has been heretofore . alternated,
first one county securing It and the
next time it going to the other. At the
last election the nominee was W. I.
Vavcter. of Med ford. It was supposed,
of course. It would come to Douglas
County this time, and -as a result there
are three candidates for tie position.
J. M. Unnsbrough, George W. Riddle
and J. A. Buchanan. Then comes In as
a candidate W." I. Vawter. though It
is said he agreed not to do so and
conceded the position of right belongs
to Douglas County.
All this produces a vcy unpleasant
fight and creates a splendid opening
for a Democratic Representative to DC

FACES SHOW SUFFERING
Food at Their Homes Has Consisted
of a Paste Made of Flour
Mixed Willi Straw
and "Weeds.
TOKIO. March 25. The misery and suf
fering in the famine district has been
slightly, relieved by the prompt and lib
eral aid of the foreign sources and the
nbatcmcnt of the rigors of Winter. The
local ' authorities are trying to provide
work for the able-bodied, but the extent
of the work Is Inadequate and tens of
thousand arc still on the verge of starva
tion.
Many parents are parting with their
children, sending them to the already
crowded Okayama orphanage. Several
children are quartered at the Ueyno rail
way station in this city. Among thorn
was a glri 6 years old. who was found
treasuring a package of dirty old news
paicrs. On examination the package was
found to contain a postal card, with the
address of the parents of the child, "who
had been told to mall the card upon her
arrival at her destination.
The severity of the suffering undergone
by the children is clearly depicted in the
faces of those who are compelled to part
from their homes, where the food consists
of flour mixed with straw and weeds. The
mixture is beaten fine, forming n paste
which contains only Za per cent actual
food value.
The government has remitted the lowest
tax in the famine district, but this will
not afford immediate relief. The llbcr.il
contributions from Americans are already
effective and the relief in the form of
food and clothing is commanding the
heartiest appreciation.
Another appeal for nld is presented by
the sufferers from the earthquake in For

The local government Is busy providing
food, caring for the injured and recov
ering and removing corpses, several hun
dred of which are buried under the de
bris.
FIRM HAND FOR PARENTS
Judge Frazer Says Children Arc
CJivcn Too Much Liberty.
At Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
last night. Judge A. L. Frazer. of tho
Juvenile Court, spoke on "The Relation
of Child-Training to the State." His ob

experience in dealing with the children
brought before him In his court work.
He pointed -out the necessity for care

mature years from temptation and cau
tioned parents not to give too much lib

"A vast majority of the TCO cases which
have come before me in the Juvenile
Court." he said, "have been Instances
where boys and girls have gone 'wrong
because of improper home surroundings
These children do -not always belong to
wicked or vicious parents. A large por
tlon of them come from respectable
homes. It Is simply a matter of care
lessness upon the part of parents.
"The extent of the dangers which sur
round a growing child arc often not ap
preciated. Parents will allow boys and
girls to go out alone to theaters and
other amusement resorts and will then
wonder why they 'go to the bad The
need ror greater care cannot be empha
sized, too strongly."
As a prelude to the address Rev. Clar

open letter to the Wholesale Liquor

amendment to the local option law In

Advance Agent's Notes Found.
Another man was noticed loiterinsr
about the corridoss of a fashionable
apnrtment-house on the Upper West
Side. He tried to gain admission to
several on various pleas and finally
went away. The master of one apart
ment, on returning nomc that evening,
chanced to notice some writing on the
wall. Just without the door. Looking
nt it closely, he discovered that the
word "yes had been scrawled on the
wallpaper This nroused his interest.
and ho proceeded to make a careful
examination of the halls. Near every
door he found that the word "yes" or
"no" had b.een traced in lead pencil. In
some Instances the waiting was so
faint it could hardly be deciphered.
The case was reported to the police,
who quickly decided that a gang of
burglars hnd planned a raid on the
house, and hnd sent a confederate
ahead. A close watch was kept on the
place, but the burglars apparently
found out what was going on, for they
never appeared.
"Key Game" at Hotels.
Many hotel robberies take place in

preferring to settle with the victims
rather than to receive undesirable no

"key game." A crook waits In the of

wardly appears to be worth robbing,
and whose baggage has a prosperous
look. Mr. Victim is assigned to say
room 345, and this fact can easily be
ascertained by an inspection of the
register.
When the guest leaves his room, he
turns his key over to the key clerk,
who is seldom able to remember all the
jruosts. Then the first crook or a con
federate -walks up and demands the
key of his room. No. 545, and if the

Another Case of Tumor Cured:
by Jjydia E. Pinkham's YeSeta
ble Compound.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" About three years ago I had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that I did not get any better ha
examined mo and, to my surprise, declared
I had a tumor.
"I felt sure that it meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. I spent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately I
corresponded with my aunt in one of the New
England States, who advised rae to try Lydia
E.Pinkham'sVegetabla Compound before sub
mitting to an operation, ana I at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months I noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper
ation, and using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express cow grateful lam for the good
it has done me." Miss Luella Adams, Colon
nade Hotel, Seattle, Wash.
Such unquestionable testimony
proves the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and should give
confidence and hope to every sick
woman.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all ailing
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass.,
