He failed th extra eion to pas the

He ha got that. The only other
measure of any consequence m-hlch
Congress pa.ed and he approved Is
the campaign publicity bill.
Comparatively little time wa taken
up mlth theee measure. The frcat
hulk of the c.MOn u occupied with
the passage of tariff bllU and mith In
vestigation. All these were aotind
and fury. signifying nothing. The
Democrat" only paed their tariff
bill for the purpose of putting- the
President in a unpleasant position by
compelling hlrn to veto them: and
they were aided by the Insurgent m-lth

ORFGOX A XI) TITC llf FAIR.
What the Lents and Clark Fair did
for Oregon In 105 the Panama-Pacific
Exposition mil duplicate in 1116.
TVhen it Is recalled that the Lewis and
Clark Fair was held In Orea-on. while
the Panama-Patina Fair will be held
In California, this statement may be
disputed, but a little consideration of
the difference in circumstances wilt
prove that It la Justified.
The fair at Portland u held to
commemorate an hiatorte event one
hundred years old. m-hlch wa. of prime
interest to the Pacific Vorthwest, of
secondary Interest to the Nation at
large, and of much less interest to the
ret of th world. The Fair at Pan
Franelco win be held to celebrate, an
event which is actually happening at
the time, and which will be of the
first Interest to the whole world, for
It will revolutionize th world's com
mere. It will be marked by An hls
torle gathering of the navies of the
world, which by steaming through the
Panama Canal to ran Francisco mill
link the canal and the Fair Insepar
ably In the minds of men. It mill
draw an assemblage of representatives
of th Industrie and commerce of the
world, all Interested In the usa of this
new muterway in marketing their
product. It mill attract a vastly
greate ntimbr of visitors from all
part of the United State than came
to Portland, and a much larger pro-"
portion of them mill have their mind
set on settling on the Pacific Coast
than In 1905.
The 11S Fair will be a much larg
er than that of 105 a California la
richer than Oregon, a Ean Francisco
l richer thAU Portland, and as the
opnlr.g of the Panama Canat excels
tn worldwide importance the expedi
tion of Lemis and Clark. It mill have
several times aa much money Invested
d mill have larger and more varied
exhibits. On that score alro it will
tijraw more visitor.
But the lilt Fair will not be a Cal
ifornia Fair: It mill be a Pacific Fair.
California simply taking her natural
place a leader among the three Pa
cific Coast States, and San Francisco
hers a th chief city of the Coast.
Kach of the three slates will benefit
In proportion to Its importance and
the liberality and energy with which It
seize the opportunity.. Th principal
gainer by the digging of the Panama
Canal win be the Pacific Coast, for the
canal make) a short cut to this section
for people m-ho are looking for new
land to aetf.e and new business oppor
tunities. The Pacific Coast Is th
mrr.irc section: the Atlantic Coast has
-arrived." Arrived at a Francisco,
these people will scatter north and
outh. aod Oregon will get Oregon
th size of m-hlch depend on
the allurements pregon offer. Of
thosa who come to th Fair purely for
sightseeing and pleasure, a vast ma
ioritv mill travel through Oregon
stonrlng bv the way. Those m ho i-ome
H the Southern route over the burn-
Irir MoUve d'sert wlil turn longing
va to the cooler northern clime, and
mUl find refreshment In th sight of
nrrhard. farm, forest and- mountain
In Oregon and Washington. ' Many
t
too. will cross the continent by the
Northern routes, and see thla section
on their way to the Fair. It mill not
suffer by comparison In their minds
with what they see farther south.
When all these point are consid
ered. It i no disparagement of the
Lewis and Clark Fair to say that the
benefit which accrued to Oregon
from U will be equalled. If not ex
celled, by those to be derived from the
11S Fair. It. therefore, becomes Ore
gon to be moving, for the opening day
la only three years from January 1
next.
o jroiriAi, RECAIX roR ARJZOXA.
It Is not conceivable that Arliona
will refuse to eliminate the Judicial
recall from its constitution, or that
New Mexico mill decline to facilitate
the amending of it constitution. Both
will be considered minor matters
when melghed against statehood. The
adoption of tha resolution by Congres
makes It possible for the two terri
tories to become state by January t.
1911. although delay In calling the
elections may postpone admission be
)ond that time.
It hn been pointed out that. onje In
the Cnlon. Arliona may reinstate the
Judicial recall If it o desire. Arliona
I not likely to do o. unless it be on
some less radical term than those
given In the original constitution. The
Judicial recall ha never been a dis
tinct Issue In Arizona. In the election
when delegate to the constitutional
convention wer chosen, the Initia
tive and referendum provided the chief
Issue, and the Democrat were elected
to control of the convention primarily
on a direct legislation platform. The
Democratic programme In the conven
tion mas aftermards extended to em
brace the recall and the people of Arl
iona. mho strongly desired statehood
and manted no delay about It. were
compelled to approve the Judicial re
call or reject the whole constitution.
It mould have required provisions
much more dangerous on their faea
than the recall to have prevented the
acceptance of the constitution by the
voters of the territory.
The evils of the wide-open, free-and-easv
recall are Insidious. On It face
It 1 a fair and ready safeguard
against corruption In office, but Its un
derlying dangers are grave and always
menacing. They were o clearly and
forcefully indicated by the President
that Arizona mill now likely acknowl
edge a debt of gratitude to him for
saving it from the political turmoil
and trampling of Jut1ee that might
othefm-L-e have ensued.
It is unfortunate that the leason ran.
rot b brought home as forcefully to
California as It ha to Arizona. Cali
fornia, has outdone Arizona and Ore
gon In the recall provision "that may
h adopted in October In that state.
To rid Itself of an nnaavory portion of
its Judlrlarv It proposes going to the
extreme length of requiring the In
cumbent of omc to poll a majority of
the votes In a recall election in order
to retain his seat, while If hla com
bined v opponent obtain a majority,
the one of the latter who obtains a
bare plurality Is to succeed him. Here
1 the recall with a vengeance.
Unless the adoption of such an
amendment I tayed by th sober
thought of those who can see Into tha
future a clearly as the President,
California' br. In protection of the
honor of th state courts, may find It
expedient to expand It code of ethics.
The bsr can go far toward outlawing
from good associations those lawyer
who mav seek to make vacanciee on
the bench for themselve to occupy.

Ml. SACK OF
CHAMBERLAIN
FLOOD
BILL.
Senator Chamberlain Is unduly and
unjustifiably peeved over criticism 01
his flood control bill, and entirely
mistaken in hlr assumption mat m
measure Is objected to by. "the Inter
ests." The Chamberlain bill i auo
Ject to criticism on one ground only.
nd hae been criticised oniy on im
one ground, namely, that It proposes
to take money out or tne .National
reclamation fund for the construction
of dams and other morks to control
floods.
There has not been, and probably is
not likely to be. any criticism or me
main object sought to be attained by
the Chamberlain bill, nnleaa It should
come from those mno oeuevo nm
states, and not tne reoerai govern
ment, should regulate floods on
streams within their own borders.
But up to the present tlm this criti
cism has not been heard ln any quar
ter. Th Chamberlain bill ha been ob
jected to. however, by those wno
object to taking money away from
irrigation, and expending it in nooa
control, thereby Impeding the worn
of reclamation, and expending it
mhere it mill never return, or m-here
most of It mill never return. Oregon
has been complaining for several
years that It has been unjustly treated
In the distribution of the reclamation
fund; it has contributed o that fund
many millions in excess of mnai na
been expended on Oregon- projects out
of that fund. That this complaint 13
Jut one Is shown by the admission
of President Tart ana becretsrj 01
Interior Fisher.
But If, while Oregon 1 clamoring
for more money for irrigation, a sen
ator from Oregon proposea to take
millions of dollar annually out of
that fund to construct works to con
trol floods. Oregon will no longer have
ground foe more liberal allotments
for Irrigation, but will have to stand
responsible for the legislation which
its Junior Senator has fathered.
Senator Chamberlain s bin aumor-
Izes the Secretary- of the Interior to
use money out of the reclamation
fund to control floods "on all streams
rising In National forest or Indian
reservations. Practically every nvpr
in the West has its origin In a forest
reserve or an Indian reservation, ana
under thla bill the Secretary is per
mitted, without any restraint what
ever, to use the reclamation fund for
flood control. He could use It all, ir
he m-ere so disposed. Every dollar
expended tinder such a bill for flood
control would ba a dollar subtracted
from th fund available for the bund
ing of Government irrigation proj
ects. In the state of Oregon alone it
would cost many millions or aonar
to control th floods on the various
stream arising in in (.ikios
Blue Mountains, and the Coast Range.
And this money once invested i
flood-control work, m-ould be tied up,
for the most part, for all time to
come. It wotiia nm ?
into th reclamation fund., as do the
monevs laid out on Irrigation project,
but would, ln the main, be a dead
loss to this fund.
Senator Chamberlain makes tn
assertion that his bill in time would
return to the reclamation rund an
the money used for flood control, m-lth
much more added, and explains that
these returns would come from the
sale and. leases of pomer privileges
at the dams which his Ul proposes
to build. Say that tS. 000. 000 should
b Invested In flood-control dams in
Oregon (and this is by no means the
amount that is called for by this bill).
It would be many a generation hence
befor the Income from power leases
would mek up 15.000.000, for when
th Government Undertakes to sell
water-pom-r privileges. It must fix Its
rat low. or It will be prohibitive, ana
the water pom-era created by Govern
ment dams will go -to waste. .More
over, there is no very general demand
for new water pomer ln Oregon today.
The exlxstlng water powers In pri
vate control are furnishing about as
much pom-ar as the community de
mands, and Increased demand will
come only with Increased settlement.
'Oregon, lik many oher Western
state, is overstocked with water
power. Much of it probably will
never he used, for there mill be no
call for It. No matter how attrac
tiv. water power mill not be leased
from the Government so long as exist-
In- oomer plants can meet the de
mand. and there mill be no demand
where there 1 no settlement. Water
powsra must b located somem-here
in the vlcinltr where the power is to
be utilized.

Gleanings of the Day
Tew users of the beautiful wood
known as mahogany realize that less
than one-third of whatvpasses for ma
hogany Is the genuine things, says the
Boston Transcript. About 40.000,000
feet of so-called mahogany is con
sumed every year ln the United States,
while the cut of real mahogany Is
only about 18.000.000 feet. The Gov
ernment scientists who write about
things like this say this does rot mean
so much that deliberate deception la
being practiced as It doe that the de
mand for true mahogany greatly ex
ceeds the supply. The earliest use of
true mahogany as a furniture and nn-
lshing wood begsn ln 1724. and tne
available supply has been steadily de
pleted ever since. More than 20 ma-hogany-like
woods are now offered as
the genuine article, and several other
woods are cleverly stained to imitate
mahogany.
The Forest Service- has Just tssuea
monograph to inform the users of cab
inet woods of the distinguishing de

PORTLAND. Aug. 19. (To th Ed
itor.) The unwarranted antagonistic
recognition that is sometimes accorded'
the book agent ln the city these days
reminds the writer somewhat of the
limes twenty-flve years ago when a
man called at a farmhouse and asked
for work. The housewife, without even
Scat, you," would set the dogs on
him. Though only a child then, I can
remember Eeelng the poor fellow take
to his heels, climb the nearest tree, and
then .perhaps, the bulldog m-ould ret
him by the trousers leg before ho
reached a plac of safety. Generally
speaking, the same feeling of resent
ment prevails against us today; the
only difference is the absence of th
dog, and the agent Is a woman.
Jt is the exception rather than the
rule when you give the little lady an
opportunity to present her subject if
you do not find her more Intelligent
and refined than half, or more, of the
ladles upon whom she calls.

ANTIDOTE FOR - CARBOLIC ACID

Counteract internal PoUonlnc.
PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 19. (To the
Editor.) The article in The Oregonian
pertaining, to a suicide which occurred
Thursday, in an East Fide drugstore,
brings to mind, most forcibly the help
lessness of most people in the presence
of carbolic acid poisoning even a
great many physicians being Ignorant
of the IBCt mat tnere la

ful Of poisons. Considering tne asser
tion that more accioentai aem

the importance of the knowledge that
there Is a speeay anuaoio .a
evident. The antidote is common oraer
vinegar.
Carbolic acid is Known in ucunj
every --usehold as a valuable anti
septic, and, being sold freely, Is kept
constantly at hand ln many homes
often, I regret to say. upon pantry
shelves and within easy reach of
children. Although labeled "poison,"
familiarity with it has. ao to speak,
"bred contempt" and made people less
fearful of it. Hence the many cases
of "accidental" poisoning.
The virtues of cider vinegar, In the
proportion of one-half cupful of vine
gar diluted with an eeual amount of
weLter followed In a few minutes by a
second dose of the vinegar and water
have been demonstrated many times as
an antidote for Internal carbolic acid
poisoning, even the odor and discolora
tion disappearing. In cases where the
vinegar is applied within a few mo
ments, there will not even any scar
or crusts form. This treatment, fol
lowed by the use of a stomach pump
and afterwards by a diet of hot milk is
Invariably successful.
Acetio acid too. has been repeatedly
used in carbolic acid poison, its action
being the same as that of the vine
ear The discovery of the virtues of
cider vinegar in such cases mas made
by Dr. Edmund Carleton of New lork
and has been used, with success in
cases of both Internal and external
poisoning in the latter, the rubb ng
and bathing with the vinegar restoring
both color and function.
Alcohol and olive oil being mentioned
in the account of the suicide as anti
dotes employed and these having failed

that it will prove "first aid to the in

Country Town Sayings by Ed Howe
(Copyright. 1911. by Geora Matthew Adam.)
Frequently you do not Know, ana
cannot find out, but politeness, fairness,
industry and temperance will never fail
you. And if you add caution, and as
much simple common sense as you can
acquire as a result of experience and
reading, you have about all there is.
Perhaps It has occurred to' you that
others have a good deal "given to
them." A gift is seldom what you
want, and it rarely comes when you
need It. The best way is to take care
of yourself; and of three or four
others.
The runaway horse must stop some
where; it always develops that the
brief excitement was dearly earned.
If ambitious for success in a big
way. there are some callings you
should avoid. Do not teach music in
a country tom-n, and expect to become
a rival of the money kings of tha
world.
You may not always Know m-nen-you
are wrong, but usually you have sus
picions. Half the family names are so ugly
that they should be changed by tha
Legislature.
Town men talk about farmers quit
a good deal, behind their backs.....
'Nearly every man imposes on his
women folks at the table; and as a
result, women eat less than men., and
live longer.
When a man sells you a book you;
do not mant, that's hypnotism..
Every man's talk is bigger than h
Is. If you should see the timid little
men who do the Big Talk ln the maga
eines, you would be amused. '
Half a Century Ago

Brad's Bit o Verse
'Copyright, 1911. by W. D. Mens.)
Back to the shelf, you blusterin'
scribe, with your pen and Its neasiiy
gall; for at every blarsted. muck
rakln' piece some titled 'ead must fall.
You've dug up the secret Mstory or
palace and lord and throne, and many
a monarch of Mgh repute 'as begged
to be let alone. You've lighted tho
Area for earls and kings and roasted
'em in your forge; but that was a dark
and evil hour when you tackled our
royal George; for 'e is a monarch aa
brooka no ill; 'e's ticklish as Standard
Oil; and the man as goes rakin' into
ispast is sure to meet up with a
foil. Down to the dungeon, you bloom
In' bloke, to languish ln tears and pain;
and let the lesson that you 'ave
learned soak Into your muddled brain.
For the 6axon law is a sacred code and
It tells you wot Is wot: and you must
n't worry the rulln' prince with' your
meddlesome tommyrot. The commoner
may be tempted sore and falL fo.r the
siren song, and even the belted earl
may sin; but the king can do no wrong.
Advice to Landseekcra.
ROSEBURG. Or.. Aug. 19. (To the
Editor. 1 I noticed an . article In T!i
Oregonian recently, written by a home,
seeker, In which he complains that set
tiers cannot get Information as to Gov.
ernment lands 'from the registers ot
the local land offices and complaining
of the register of th Portland office.
Our experience at this office Is that
settlers looking for lands come to ths
local offices and expect the officers and
clerks to be able to tell them the exact
condition of the lands as to amount of
valley, bottom and hill lands, and In
some instances insist that the Govern
ment send men out with them to locate,
them. Many of them have no Idea
where they want to settle.
This office during the past year has
answered over 10.000 letters. Over
5000 have been inquiries about Govern
ment lands. All these letters are an
swered. the day that they are received.
Many of them are personal letters, but
the most of them are circular letters.
The settler should first make up hi
mind what part of the state he desiroa
to settle in and then write to the land
office in that district, for as stated edi
torially ln The Oregonian, the register
of one land district Is not qualified to
give Information as to the lands ln
another district, and -in any event has
no personal knowledge of the character
of the lands open to settlement.
