CABINET DECIDES Dl
FRANKING PRIVILEGE
Mr. Palmer Justifies Circula
tion of Wigmore Matter.
OREGON SENATOR PROTESTS
Outrage and Violation of Law, Mr.
Chamberlain Asserts, Referring to
Recent Court-Martial Comment.
WASHINGTON, May 1. Cabinet mem
bers are the judges of what constitutes
mail matter relating- to the business
of their departments which, may be dis
tributed under the government frank
ing privilege, Attorney-General Palmer
has ruled in holding that no law was
violated by the circulation of a dlscus
eion of the army court-martial contro
versy' over the signature of Colonel
"Wigmore of the judge advocate-general's
office.' Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon had complained that the use of
the frank was improper because the
document supported one side of the con
troversy. The attorney-general, in a letter to
Senator Chamberlain, gave the results
of an inquiry and added "there Is
nothing- furtner that this department
can do in the matter."
Law Violation Charged.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, In
a statement made in connection with
Attorney-General Palmer's ruling, de
clared Secretary Baker in approving
the Wigmore letter had sanctioned an
"outrage upon professional ethics and
decency as well as direct palpable vio
lation of the law."
"Colonel Wigmote's letter does not
relate exclusively or at all to the busi
ness of the United States," Senator
Chamberlain said. "It is a personal ap
peal by Colonel Wigmore, not as an of
ficer of the army, but as a member of
the bar, a private citizen, to other
members of the bar as private citizens,
and not upon a matter of government
business, but upon a personal defense of
the conduct of the secretary and Gen
eral Crowder.
"In my opinion, by no fair interpre
tation of the statutes can the term
'interest of the war department' be
construed as equivalent to the 'busi
ness of the government.'
Propaganda Right Asnnnied.
"The attorney-general and the postmaster-general
have in effect an
nounced that every executive has full
license to carry on at public expense by
the printing and distribution through
the official mails, postage free, of any
writing or documents, any propaganda
that its chief may favor."
The attorney-general in his letter to
Senator Chamberlain said the mailing
of the matter was approved Jay Secre
tary Baker.
Air. Palmer called attention to the
fact that Secretary Baker had formally
approved the distribution of Colonel
Wigmore's letter. -
HAWAII TO PAPER LAND
Making New Mulch for Sugar Cane
Fields Big- Industry.
HONOLULU, T. H.-As a result of
experiments conducted for three years,
a large sugar plantation on the island
of Hawaii is preparing to "paper" 8000
acres of its sugar cane land, much like !
a paperhanger covers the walls of a
room. j
To supply material, a paper mill has
been erected at a cost of more than
$250,000, manufacturing heavy mulch
ing paper from bragasse, the dry,
fiberous refuse of sugar cane after the
juices have been expressed. The paper
is prepared for use in the' fields by
being saturated with liquid asphalt.
The nlan i tn i . i, . i i . . .
------ jiciu3 wnn
the mulching paper. The sturdy sugar
cane drives its stalks through the
paper, but all weeds are smothered not
only greatly increase the yield of cane
but will reduce field labor costs more
than 50 per cent. The covering paper
not only keeps the weeds out of the
cane but retains moisture la the ground
for lta nourishment.
The paper mill take only SO ten of
bagasse a day, one tenth of the sugar
mills output during; the grinding sea
son and will make only enough for the
plantation.
L. A. Thurston, newspaper publisher
of Honolulu and one of the founders of
plantation, is of the opinion that the
manufacture of paper from bagasse
eventually will become Hawaii's second
greatest industry. It has long been
known that paper could be made from
bagasse, but low prices did not encour
age development of the industry. With
paper prices what they now are. Mr.
Thurston says there is no reason why
Hawaii can not become a great paper
producing country.
Bagasse can be manufactured Into
roofing, sheathing, box board and
wrapping paper and by the use of
bleaching chemicals and additional ma
chinery can be refined into the best
grades of book paper.

STARVED MUSCLES
CAUSE LUMBAGO
Resident of Los Angeles Regains
Health When He Takes
Blood Building Treat
ment. Pains in the back are very often due
to undernourished muscles. The mus
cles that are used most are generally
those that first cry out in pain. Lum
bago and rheumatism are two very
common diseases that attack muscles
that are not getting needed food be
cause the blood is impoverished.
A treatment that increases the quan
tity and improves the quality of the
blood will often pur an end to sufferings
and bedridden men and women are thus
restored to activity.
The success of the right tonic in
cases of lumbago is demonstrated in
the experience of Mr. J. C. Benedict of
No. 1267 West Second street, Los An
geles, Cal.
"I began to have muscular pains
across my back about three years ago,"
says Mr. Benedict. "I paid little atten
tion to them at first but they continued
getting worse until I was flat on my
back. It was a steady, dull pain and
when I stooped to pick anything up my
back felt as though I had been cut with
a knife. I tired quickly and couldn't
sleep well at night.
"A newspaper announcement led me
to buy a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and before I had taken the remedy a
week the pain became less acute. I
continued the treatment until the pain
entirely disappeared. I feel stronger
and better in every way now and sleep
soundly. I take long walks and enjoy
every minute. I strongly indorse Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills as a tonic."
The purpose of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They
do this one thing and they do it well.
They are for this reason an invaluable
remedy in diseases arising from bad or
deficient blood, as lumbago, rheuma
tism, neuralgia, after-effects of the
grip and fevers. The pills are guaran
teed to be free from opiates or any
harmful drug and cannot injure the
most delicate system.
"Building Up the Blood" is a booklet
full of useful information. Every
mother and every growing girl should
have one. It is wnt free on request by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec
tady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of
price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for

First Trip Made Sine Vessel Laid
Up for Repairs In December.
Bearer Still With Nary.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. The San
Francisco A Portland Steamship com
pany resumed business today with the
sailing of the Rose City for Portland,
at noon. The company had been inac
tive since the Rose City was laid up
for repairs in December. She carried
a full cargo of general merchandise.
The steamer Beaver, formerly fleet
mate with the Rose City, Is under the
flag of the United States navy, she
naving Deen purchased outright.
With the liner Rose City actually un
der way for Portland, after an absence
from the harbor since the Christmas
holidays, the Ainsworth dock force ex
hibited new keenness yesterday and all
are looking forward to greeting the
vessel here tomorrow, likewise old
friends among her company, who in
clude Captain T. J. Macgenn and Chief
Engineer Jackson.
Information reaching here yesterday
was that the vessel was dispatched
with 1700 tons of freight and carries a
cabin list of 100 passengers. Of her
cargo 250 tons is to be unloaded at As
toria, so she will remain there for a
time. There are a few passenger ac
commodations remaining for her first
southbound sailing, which will be
Tuesday, while she is assured a capa
city cargo.
Fred B. Wright, former chief clerk
for the San Francisco & Portland
Steamship company here and now su
perintending stevedore, also J. W. Van
Horn, who had been with the O. W. R.
& N., water lines for several years un
til the outbreak of the war, now with
the steamship freight department, en
tered on their new duties yesterday.
The resumption of service with the
Rose City gives Portland a direct line
to San Francisco, while through the
service of the Admiral line the city is
enjoying the beet way port schedule it
has had for years. The steamer Aurelia
arrived last night from San Francisco
via Eureka and Marshfield, bringing
considerable freight, and will be started
south loaded again tomorrow. The
steamer City of Topeka, which handles
both passengers and freight over the
same route, is due tomorrow with
large list and sails on the return Mon
day. The latter ship has handled
number of travelers on each voyage
since she was placed on the schedule
early in the year, and there is said to
be no question as to the permanency of
me arrangement.'
BRYAN SEEKSNEW LEADER
Nebraska n Looking for a Young
David to Cahmplon Democracy.
WASHINGTON. That William Jen
nings Bryan either opposes the nomi
nation of Woodrow Wilson for a third
term or does not expect the president
to be a candidate ror re-election is dis
closed by tne Nebraskan's leader in
the April issue of tne Commoner. Mr.
Bryan appeals for the selection of a
young candidate to lead the democrats
in what he predicts will be a "bitter
fighV
"If the democratic party is to remain
the champion f the masses and secure
for them their rignts, It must be look
ing around for a presidential candidate
for 1920 a young man old enough to
have won the people's confidence and
yet young enough to organize and lead
tne rigth against private monopoly,"
says Mr. Bryan. "He may not win in
1920 it may take as long as it did to
win the fight commenced in 18, but
we must begin now.
"The mobilization of the democratic
hosts and the organization of a patient
and persistent fight against the co
horts of privilege and favoritism will
require one who is of the people and
accustomed to work with the people.
He needs the soldiers' willingness to
die if his death will advance the cause.
"The struggle will not be as hard
as the one begun in 1896; first, because
popular election of Senators has trans
formed the senate from the bulwark of
predatory body responsive to the peo
ple's will; second -.the reduction of the
tariff has made it impossible for the
protected interests to frighten the
voters threatening a panic; third, the
new currency law makes it impossible
for Wall street to terrorize the small
banks; fourth, the abolition of the sa
loon eliminates the most corrupting in
fluence in American politics; fifth, equal
suffrage brings woman s conscience to
the support of man's Judgment.
"But, with all these advantages on
one side, we will have a powerful an
tagonist to overcome and must be ready
for a bitter fight. Our opponents have
the city press we must rely on public
meetings and the country weeklies.
"Look about you: Find a David who
is not afraid one who can slay the
glar.t of error with pebbles of truth."
WOMAN RAPS MODERN LIFE
. ,
Great Harm Is Being; Done to Young
Men and Girls She Says.
DETROIT. "Life nowadays is doing
remendously armful things to boys and
girls in the way of leaving 'memory
scars.'" said Mrs. Honore Wiilsic at the
annual luncheon of the Detroit federat
ion of women's clubs.
"Nobody knows what things are be
ing done to youthful minds. Through
the "movies' they become acquainted
with love stories' when their minds
and bodies are not ready for them,
and there is developed" a restlessness
that results in a desire to run away
from home, or some such naughtiness
within their knowledge.
"The boy or girl of H and 15 today
knows Infinitely more about life gen
erally than the youth of the same age
a generation ago."
Mrs. Willsie believes that an Amer
ican litany, which mothers shall teach
their boys and girls ar carefully and
thoughtfully as they teach them pray
ers, should be written. "Americanism"
is Mrs. Willsie's great topic, devel
oped through a study of immigration
conditions and a foundation love of
country.
"The old, virile, up-standing, trail
making, law-making American is dis
appearing." said she, "for immigration
has changed. Only 20 per cent of the
immigrants for the last few years
have been northern Europeans. The
