THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND,. OCTOBER 29, 1905. NO APPROPRIATION FOR C0L11 Taft Will Not Recommend It for Either Bar or the . f Celilo Canal. PROSPECTS VERY GLOOMY Only, Chance Is to Have Work Done Under Continuing Contracts, and One Senator Can't Accomplish This. OREGONIAN "NEWS BUREAU, Wash ngton, D. C, Oct. 28. Secretary Taft, In his estimates this year, will not recom mend any appropriation for completing jetty work at the mouth of the Columbia River, 'nor -will he ask for an appropria tion to continue construction of The Dallcs-Celllo canal. Army engineers who have been advised of the Secretary's atti tude are of the opinion that, unless some special legislation is enacted making ap propriations for these projects, work will have to be suspended before another river and harbor "bill can pass, something that Is deplored by the engineers as much as it will be by the people of Portland. Not Under Continuing Contracts. Mr. Taft is not discriminating against the Columbia River in refusing to ask for an appropriation this Winter, for he has decided to recommend no appropriations for river and harbor works. Those pro jects known as continuing contracts will be cared for in the sundry civil bill with out any recommendation on the part of the War Department, but, unfortunately for the Columbia River, neither the bar project nor the Celilo canal is In this class. Had Oregon full representation In Con gress this Wlntor, a good strong delega tion. It might be possible, with the aid of the delegations from Washington and Idaho, to have the bar project made a continuing contract and thereby provide means for getting annual appropriations until the work Is completed. But with only onej representative In Washington and no representation in the House, whore such legislation usually originates, this accomplishment Is considered im possible. Jones the Only Hope. Representative Jones, of Washington, who Is a member of the river and harbor committee. Is anxious to secure an appro priation for the mouth of the Columbia, but he la the only member of the House showing any especial Interest In .that project, and one single member, at a time when every pressure is being exerted to hold down appropriations, can accomplish little. It Is too much to expect one man to put through legislation of this impor tance, when It Ib certain to be opposed so vigorously by the Republican leaders. Oregon was never In greater need of full representation at Washington than It will be this Winter. Rural Carriers at McMinnvlIIe. OREGON! AN MEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Cyt 2S. Albert D.

PICKED TO LEAD FORCES (Continued Prom Page 1.) teaching-, he found time to do enough work to receive a master's degree from the university. Eight years ago he en tered the law and has gained a repu tation as a fearless prosecutor. For tne city he has conducted" the case against the water company and has been leading in the movement for a municipal system. The fusion candidate has made - a good campaigner. He 1ms hurled broadsides at the administration which have lprced it Into the open in an of lort to dufend Its shady transactions. Hitter as the campaign has become, no ill word has been spoken against Part ridge. He gives no quarter an aBka none. His keen intellect and sharp wit have lifted tois speeches far from the level of mere political guff. He Is forceful and eplgrammatical. Whirlwind on the Stump. . It Is no time for partisanship.", he thundered from the platform. "Graft has no principles, and honesty should have no politics." When Ruef and Schmltz ascribed the Ills of the city to laws passed by the supervisors. Part ridge answered: "Good men will give you good government under the worst of laws, and bad men will give you bad government under the best of laws." An attempt to turn the lsBue he checked with the declaration: "The republic never was and never can be In any danger from without. Its foes are within Its own borders. Debauch ery kills where the sword is Impo tent. "You cannot legislate decency Into people," lie declared. "Anarchy results as surely when there is no respect -for law, as when there Is ho law." He an swered Ruefs tirade by saying: "To be against Mr. Ruef Is a liberal educa tion In municipal government. To be abused by Mr. Ruef Is a gilt-edged character certificate." He adds: "You can no more expect efficient govern ment from a crowd bent on graft than you can expect a burglar to lock your safe if he finds it open." Partridge has set plans which he means to put in force if the electors of the city place "him in the Mayor's chair. "It will be my plan," said Partridge to your correspondent, "to get rid of every grafting commission without delay. This means that the Board of Works and the Police Commission will be reconstituted if Partridge Is elected. This will Involve arbitrary removals, but Partridge, after a close study of the city charter. Is con vinced that he will have the power to do this. Reforms to Be Effected. "These commissions," said Partridge, "should be made up of men who are, of course, honest, but added to this, they ,inust have some special knowledge of the subjects which will come before them. The members of the Board of Works, for instance, should know something about buildings', and not be mere politicians." The campaign Is being made? with- graft as the Issue. Much stress has been laid on the plan to stop thieving by city' of ficials. The correspondent ventured the question: "What will you do. if elected, in a posi tive way for reform?" The FuHlon candidate thought a mo ment, lighted a cigar, handed one to his Inquisitor and gazed Into the smoke for an instant before replying. Then he said: "I will tell you. First of all., things, must be cleaned up. The city govern ment must be placed in the hands of trustworthy men. Then wc will be able to do something. You remember the-city over a year ago voted $17,000,000 in bonds to be used for public Improvements such as schoolhousee, parks, playgrounds, hos pitals and street work. Only a very snail fraction of these bonds have been sold. "They have been tested In the courts and are declared constitutional. They carry a good rate of Interest. Then why is It that San Francisco cannot sell her bonds where every hamlet In the state has scores of bidders for Its securities? I will' tell you. The capitalism will not touch the bonds while Schmltz Is Mayor and Ruef his handy man. They are afraid that the money will not be used honestly. Money Heady for Investment. "In several of the large banks of this city are great sums of money lying Idle .waiting fqr investment. I have been as sured by bankers that If I am elected they will at once bid on the bonds. Do you see what that means? It means that work costing about 317,000,000 will begin at once In case I become Mayor. That will mean employment for hundreds of workmen. Next we will do all In our power to establish a municipal water supply. 1 am at work on that now, and hope in time to be able to achieve the desired results." Discussing the cani' paign. Partridge said: "I do not see why the workmen aro against me in this fight. Of course, Schmltz is their candidate, but all my Hf I have in truth been in the ranks of the laboring men. I live In a modest cottage in the mission where most of the workmen of the city make their homes. 1 have been assured of the support, how ever, of many of the laboring men per sonally." Summing up his ambition In his candi dacy. Partridge stated that he desired more than all else to restore the good name of the city, and to conduct Its af fairs In a manner which shall be fair to all men, and act as an Incentive, Instead of a deterrent, toT the investment of cap ital. The election will be one of the closest In -the history of the city. It Is difficult for a stranger to understand how a man like Schmltz, under whose administration the city has become a hotbed of graft, can expect to compete with a man like Partridge, who has in his make-up all the elements which command respect and confidence. However, at the' present writ ing the truth Is that the- Schmltz forces seem to be the stronger. Betting has been spirited, and in every case Schmltz has been the favorite at odds of 10 to 7 and 8. Schmltz Is Losing Ground. While Schmltz appears stronger at the present moment, his strength Is a declin ing factor, while Partridge gains new ad herents every day. The total registration is about 97,000. It is generally figured that 75,000 votes will be cast Schmltz two years ago received 25.000 votes, while the combined Democratic and Republican vote reached 22.000. This combined vote. It Is figured, will not go solidly to Partridge, while Schmltz will retain his entire vote of two years ago. The distribution of the Increase is a matter of almost pure specu lation. Figuring It any way, there does not appear to be more than 2000 votes either way. The next weeks of Partridge's campaign are to be spent in the enemy's territory, and the writer ventures to predict that the Fusion candidate will make good headway. He ventures further to predict that, although Schmltz looms large at the moment, the reckoning will find him 1000 votes or so shy November 7. R. A. S. SHI'S PUY SUPPRESSED NEW HAVEN MAYOR SAY'S IT IS NAUGHTY. Crowded Hostae Greet "Mm. "Warren I'rofeHiiIoB &nd Manager Re fund Maacy to PHtroaa. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 28. The license for the production of Bernard Shaw's play, "Mrs. Warren's Profes sion." at the Hyperion Theater, was revoked today by order of Mayor John P. Studley. The piece was given Its performance last night here, and was to have been presented again this af ternoon and tonight. The Mayor did not attend last night's performance, but said. he had received from persons in whose judgment he placed entire confidence complaints that the play was unfit for presenta tion because of Its indecency. A large crowd besieged the doors of the theater at the hour set for the matlneo and read the announcement that the per formance had been called off. Tickets for both the matinee and evening perfor mances had been entirely sold out. it is claimed. In view of the suppression of the play, money was refunded to the ticket-holders. Arnold Daly, manager of the play, said In an interview that the action of Mayor Studley was ridiculous; that he had condemned the play without seeing It, basing his action, so far as he could learn, on the statements of two Noverzealous clergymen. He sold that at the opening performance In New York Monday night Police Commissioner Mc Adoo would be present- and would pass Judgment upon It.

Common sense would suggest that If one wishes to become fleshy and plump It can only result from the food we eat and di gest, and that food should be albuminous or flesh-forming food, like eggs, beef steak ..and cereals; In other words, tho kinds of Xood that make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our dally bills of fare. But the trouble Is, that while we eat enough and generally too much, the stomach, from abuse and overwork, does not properly digest and assimilate It, which Is the reason so many people .re main thin and under weight: the digestlvo organs do hot completely digest the flesh-, forming beefsteak, eggs and similar wholesome food. There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no particular pain, or inconve nience from their stomachs. If such persons would lay their preju dices aside and make a regular practice of taking, after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspcps'la Tablets, the food would be quickly and thoroughly digested, because these tablets contain the natural peptones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this want the stomach Is soon enabled to reach Its natural tone and vigor. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every kind of flesh-forming food, meat, eggs, bread and potatoes, and this Is the reason they so quickly build up. strengthen and Invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children. Invalids, and children, even the mo3t delicate, use them with marked benefit, as they contain no strong, irritating drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful Ingredients. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arc the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles, because they are the most reasonable and scientific of modern medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist In the United States and Canada, as well as Great Britain, at 50 cents for complete treatment. Nothing further Is required to cure any stomach troublo or to make thin, nervous, dyspeptic people strong, plump and well. V i rheumatism, bloating;.
