THERE is nothing in the vicinity of Portland that can be compared with Arlington Heights and Kings Heights. The natural beauty of the places, combined with the mag nificent view of the whole surrounding country, including the City of Portland, the Willamette and Columbia Rivera and the several snow-capped mountains in the background, impart a Dorr SUTTON FOR TAFT Traveler and Artist Wants President Re-elected. MANY OF SAME OPINION Visitor Has Conversed With Men in Near and Distant States and Finds Growing Republican Sentiment Everywhere. In the course of his extensive travels in all parts of the country, W. S. Sut ton, whose hobby and business is art, and who was in Portland yesterday, has lost no opportunity to discuss the political situation with men In all conditions of life. He declares that ail the intelligent. 4bifllins and far Righted men side with im In his opinion that the old proverb. "Let Well Enough Alone," is a good one. "For the general good of the coun try, not only from a standpoint of peace with all nations, but also of con tinuation of business and social pros perlty, Taft should be re-elected." That is my plain and unvarnished opinion." said Mr. Sutton. Wilson's Caaaeea Dlacnaaed. "I have conversed with many ideep- thlnklng men on the subject from all points of view, and we naturally ois cussed the chances of Woodrow Wll son. While not a single man criticised Mr. Wilson, and while they all agreed that he is an educated gentleman, they affirmed that he is after all without DOlltlcal experience. "It Is to be feared therefore that he would be very much more theo retical than practical In his admlnls tratlon of the business of the country. One man summed up the situation in these words. Mr. Taft has a storage of varied experience and a collection of knowledge as lawyer. Judge. Governor, Secretary of War. and one term Presi dent, which well nt hlra to be re elected, and when relieved of his recent obstacles, he positively will make good. Roosevelt's Qualities Denned. "Of Roosevelt I have heard many severe criticisms. lie Is considered by many unreasonably dictatorial and self- opinionated, while he leaves nothing undone or unsaia. wnere- nis own in terests are at stake. "He la a mischief-maker and entirely too impetuous in disposition to be the ruler of the country, especially at time when, as has recently been the case with Mexico, there is danger that a hasty man may plunge the states Into a war without sufficient provocation. "Taft. on the other hand, has- but recently shown his good judgment In keeping his finger out of the Mexican situation." Mr. Sutton is of the opinion that Sir. Taf t's chances of re-election were never so bright as at the present time, not only in this state but in every part of the country. 1m. Fayette Couple Married. H. D.

Mr Sawyer suggests mai me cuun, instead of citing him, should have cited City Attorney Grant for contempt for daring to call Circuit Judge Kavanaugh a liar In connection with the contro versy which arose as to whether or not Deputy City Attorney Tomllnson op posed the reference of the case. He says that throughout he has been at tempting to "protect one of the honor able Judges of Multnomah County from what I considered a contemptible trick on the part of the City Attorney and others who were attempting, by trick ery and chicanery, to place the said Judge In a position which would injure him in the eyes of the public.'1 He also thinks that Attorneys Thomas Mannlx and Tomllnson should have been pun ished for calling each other such names as "liar" and "Jackass" in the presence of Judge Kavanaugh.

For many years I have been wrest ling with the problem of furnishing .u. v. 1 1 .. an intarnni r f j r rh remedy. me l' u " a,, " - , Peruna has been the remedy that I have devised and It nas certainly lleved many thousand people, yes hun dreds of thousands of people, of chronlo catarrh. Constipation was my chief difficulty In treating these cases. I often felt that it would be better If a laxative element were added to Peruna. I feared to do so, however, first because of the number of catarrhal patients who needed no laxative, and second, I was afraid of making such a radical change In a remedy that was already doing so well. Thus It was that I continued to prescribe with the Peruna a bottle of Manalln to thoae who needed a lax ative. At last, under- circumstances explained in my booklet, I was con strained to add the laxative element to Peruna. This constitutes what is now known as revised Peruna. Now those who take Peruna will, first, find themselves promptly relieved of their constipation. Second, the catarrh will gradually disappear. And once the catarrh is cured the consti pation leaves permanently. Then if you follow the advice given in my book, you will never have to take pills any more. Cathartics and laxatives you can Ignore. You will be perma nently relieved of both your catarrh a,nd the constipation. Peruna Is for sale at all drug stores. SPECIAL NOTICE r Many persons are making inquiries for the old-time Peruna. To such would say. this formula is now put out under the name of KA-TAR-NO. manufactured by KA-TAR-NO Company. Columbus.
