pital, and it is said that worry over

"Law Enforcement, Lower Taxes,
Mare Economy, Guaranteed by
Record as District Attorney,"
Given as Slogan.
HOSEBURG. Or., March 14. (Spe
cial.) "My record as a law enforcing'
officer is my platform," is probably the
'predominating: principle set out in the
declaration of George M. Brown, of
Roseburg, who today announced defi
nitely his candidacy for nomination for
the post of Attorney-General of Oregon
at the Republican primary election In
May. Mr. Brown's platform, embodying
the principles on which he will base his
campaign, follows:
"If I am nominated and elected I will
during my term of office as Attorney
General of the state of Oregon adminis
ter the duties of this high office eco
nomically, diligently, courageously and
conscientiously, without fear or favor.
A career of wide experience as District
Attorney guarantees that the state s
Interests will be loyally guarded and
the laws enforced with justice to the
weak and the strong, the poor and the
rich, regardless of creed or class. My
only master shall be the sovereign state
of Oregon. I have prosecuted crime re
lentlessly, yet with a spirit of mercy
towards the weak and the young. My
record as a law-enforcing officer Is my
platform. I have been a lifelong lie-
publican.
Public Office Long Held.
Mr. Brown asks that the following
words be printed after his name on the
ballot: Law enforcement, lower taxes.
more economy, guaranteed by record as
District Attorney."
George M. Brown was first elected to
office in Oregon in 1894, "when he was
selected as District Attorney of the
counties of Coos, Curry, Benton. Lin
coin. Lane and Douglas. He held the
office of Prosecuting Attorney of that
district continuously, with the excep
tion of two years until 1907, when the
district was reduced to three counties
and included Douglas, Coos and Curry.
In 1907 he was a candidate for re
election and was chosen by one of the
largest majorities ever accorded a can
didate in this section of the state'. On
July 1 Mr. Brown will have served as
District Attorney for 18 years. Three
years prior to his election as Prosecut
ing Attorney he served as Deputy Dis
trict Attorney under S. TV. Condon, now
a resident of California.
Willamette Is Alma Mater.
Mr. Brown was graduated from the
Willamette University in 18S5. Six
years later he was admitted to the bar.
. During his term of office he has tried
hundreds of important criminal and
civil actions with success, and on this
record he asks the voters of the state
for their support. He expects to pass
considerable time in Portland until
after the primary election.
Mr. Brown has been president of the
Douglas County Bar Association for
several years, as well as holding other'
local positions of honor.
Although busy enforcing the-laws of
nis district and looking after other nu
merous duties coming under his Juris
diction, Mr. Brown might be termed a
home man. He is devoted to his home
and family, and when not busy at work
may be found at his fireside with his
wife and children. Fraternally. Mr.
Brown is one of the most popular men
in tnis county.

PASCO. Wash.. March 14. (Spe
cial.) Bonds for the purchase of the
irrigating right from the -Pasco
Reclamation Company have not been
delivered, although an order has been
issued by the court to compel the
Mayor to sign them. Mayor Johnson
said tonight:
'It is up to my attorney, C. . John
son. I desire to stand on the platform
on which I was elected. If the attor
ney says not to sign them, 1 will abide
by his decision. I do not care to be
thrown Into jail, but this is a matter
of principle. While I feel that every
thing will come out in the long run.
yet I am not going to take any hasty
action."
Attorneys for the reclamation com
pany have threatened to have the
Mayor cited for contempt of court If
he delays In signing the bonds. It is
expected that the Mayor ,will return
a definite answer by tomorrow.
Lawmakers Cannot Spend Money and
If Election Is Called and Bonds
Voted Down, Trouble Increases.
DALLAS, Or.. March 14. (Special.)
The Dallas City Council is confronted
by a charter provision which limits the
indebtedness of the city of Dallas to
$5000, and with a. demand on the part
or the State Board of Health that the
city cease to use the La Creole Creek
as an outlet for Its sewerage system,
and , in lieu .-thereof construct septic
tanks, which promise to cost the city
in the neighborhood of $10,000.
The matter of issuing bonds was not
submitted to a vote of the people at
the regular city election. The failure
was the result of accident, but it nec
essitates the calling of a special elec
tion. It is planned to call the election
for May or June to vote upon the
issuance of bonds in the amount of
$7500. The rest of .the cost will be paid
out of the general fund.
The question that Is perplexing the
Council relates to the possibility of
the citizens refusing to approve the
bond issue. Should the voters take this
stand the city will face a serious di
lemma. It appears that the City Coun
cil would have to ignore the order of
the State Board of Health or ignore
the charter indebtedness limitation.
At the same special election another
proposed bond issue in the amount of
JdOOO will be submitted. It is to raise
money to purchase real estate for a
permanent location for the Polk Coun
ty Fair. When seeking the permanent
location of the' fair in Dallas, those
representing Dallas agreed to furnish
a site, and upon this agreement Dallas
was selected by the County Fair Board.
It is up to the Dallas residents to make
good their promises.

Desertions From Progressive Ranks
During Campaign and Final Dying
.Gasp of Party With Poor'
Showing Expected.
OLTMPIA, Wash- March 14. (Sne-
cia.1.) The Republican state organiza
tion, wmcn has been in a highly disor
ganized condition since the last cam
paign. Is to be reorganized immediately
for this year's campaign, under the
plans of state leaders.
The state committe has been without
a secretary for several months, during
which time the state chairman, Werner
A. Rupp, of Aberdeen, has .been anxious
to resign. There is a vacancy from
Spokane County, caused by the resigna
tion of Harry J. Hibschman, and other
details that need attention.
When the Republican National com
mittee met last Winter it was the al
most universal ' opinion In this state
that a National convention would be
called and that a state convention could
be held in Washington to select dele
gates that could attend to reorganiza
tion work as well. When the decision
of the National committee was against
n convention the state convention Dlan
also went by the boards, and no effort
was made for months to mend the
breaches in the party.
Officials Meet Leaders.
The meeting of Pierce County Re
publicans during the week brought the
Republican state officials, most of whom
hail from Tacoma, into touch with the
other leaders of the party, and reor
ganizatlon plans were discussed. Wil
Ham T. Laube, a Seattle lawyer and
clerk of the Washington Senate for
several sessions, was talked of for
state chairman. Edward J. Koors, sec
retary of the State Tax Commission,
also has been mentioned.
That something should be done im
mediately toward the coming campaign
was the consensus of opinion. While
the Democrats and Progressives have
been exceedingly active during the last
few months, the Republican party has
been almost lost to sight. This has
been partly because of the lack of any
opposition to the renomination of Wes
ley L. Jones, United States Senator,
wheeras the Democrats and Progres
sives both have sharp (fights already
started for their Senatorial nomina
tions.
Reunion No Longer Hope.
- No hope for a coalition with the Bull
Moose in the coming campaign is now
held by Washington State Republican
leaders generally. The subject was
broached in Spokane recently, in the
view of some leaders, but the Pro
gressive organization failed to respond
to the efforts of a small select com
mittee of Bull Moose, La Follette Re
publicans and straight old-line party
men toward amalgamation.
while the controversy engendered by
their efforts showed no apparent hope
of a combination bf the two organiza
tlons, the Republican leaders believe
the amalgamation will come about in
a different way, by desertion from Pro
gressive ranks during the coming cam
paign and then by disappearance of the
third party if it makes a poor-showing
in the elections this year, as both Re
publicans - and Democrats profess to
believe will be the case.

The Boon of Health
Makes Manly Men
(From Statistic Student.)
Private statistics of a physician
with a national practice. Indicate
that fully fifty per cent of middle-aged
men are partly or wholly
deficient in ability, manliness and
health. If men could only know
the meaning of the usual symp
toms which presage the oncoming
of premature age many could be
saved from misery, despondency
and an early grave. Symptoms
should not be confounded with
disease, but should be accepted as
warnings of the approach of dis
ease. That many may know what to
do when such symptoms exist the
following symptoms and prescrip
tion Is published.
A premature break-down of the
vitality is indicated by dull, sunk
en eyes, cold extremities, back
ache, headache, fatigue, pains in
small of back, pains in back of
head, spots before the eyes, weak
ness in spine, twitching and
trembling, impaired memoiy. loss
of appetite, wasting, thinness
(or abnormally fat), shrunken,
flabby flesh, wrinkles, dullness,
languor, constipation, kidney dis
orders, irritability, lack of ambi
tion, timidity, weak-spirited,
dragging walk and unmanly car
ciage. If the reader decides to try it,
get three ounces of ordinary
syrup of sarsaparilla compound,
and one ounce compound fluid
balmwort: mix and let stand two
hours; then get one ounce com
pound essence cardlol and one
ounce tincture cadomene com
pound (not cardomom), mix all
together, shake well and take a.
teaspoonful after each meal and
one at night.
This-contains no opiates what
ever and may also be used by
women who suffer with their
nerves with absolute certainty of
prompt and lasting benefits.
By preparing the treatment at
home secretly no one need know
of another's trouble, while the
ingredients are much used in fill
ing various prescriptions, so that
even the purchase of them sepa
rately need occasion no timidity.
