A Disease Breeder and Carrier That Serve No Good Purpose. Kats are dangerous. They have no legitimate business, nor can they serve uny good purpose in any community. Sanitarians are well agreed that rats are u serious menace to health. They are so tilthy In their habits us teuutits of the sewers aud us feeders on every thing dirty and diseased tlyt It is no wonder they are curriers of disease, parasites and plague infection. That rats ure atllieted with many dis eases more than bubonic plague is con tinued by Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the United States public health service, who, speaking on this point, says: "Other infections of the rat ure trematodes, or flukes; cestodes, or tapeworms: nematodes, or round worms; protozoa, insects and vegetable microbes.'' Of the rats examined lu San Francisco 34 per cent were in fested with tapeworms. Plague is primarily a disease of the rat. It is communicated from the plague stricken rat to other rats and from rats to man by means of tleas, as the principal agent, yet it has been determined many times that handling a rat that has been dead of plague only a few hours gives the infection almost Instantly. Two small boys while play ing in an unused cellar found the body of a dead rat. The corpse was buried with unusual funeral honors, lu forty eight hours both were ill with bubonic plague. A laborer finding a sick rat on the wharf picked it up with the naked hand and threw it into the bay. He was seized three days later with plague. Rut the flea is the chief lu ocuiator. Fleas abandon a rat dead of plague and go lu search of living beings who still have warm blood cir culating in their veins. Miting man they inoculate Into I) I in the living virus which starts the disease. Since plague Is a disease due to rats aud rat fleas and not to tilth or dirty habits, there's only one thing to do to avoid plague, eradicate the rats. This can be doue by making war on them wltb traps, poison and starvation, and by "rat proofing" against them; that is by building them out As a result of the Chinatown plague epidemic in 1007, so efficient was the ratproof con structions that followed, that rats and plague were entirely "built out" of that part of the city. FIRST CATCHER'S PAD. i HON. KORKRT A. IIOOTH, Itojmbliran Candidate for Htatew Senator. United It Was Worn by Charlie Bennett of the Old Detroit Team. Charlie Reunett, the noted catcher of the famous Detroit team of 1SS0-7. often told with delight the story of bow he and his wife made the first catcher's breast protector. It was a constant source of worry to Mrs. Bennett to watch her husband being mude a target for the speed merchants of thirty years ago. And she fully realized tbe pressing neces sity of some kind of armor to prevent the hot shot sent through by these speedy slabmen from caving in a rib or two which belonged to bcr better half. After much deep thinking and con siderable labor the Bennett shaped out something that had a faint resem blance to the protector worn today. In a private trial it worked tine, and In the tryout Chnrlie would lot the ball slip through his bands and hang up against his chest without experiencing the slightest Jar. After Bennett got used to it he wore it in a regular con test, and. with tbe eyes of thousands of spectators upon blm, he would let a fast one hit blm square on the chest Tbe ball would rebound buck almost to the pitcher.

Booth, Republican- can didate for United States Senator, an swered the question, "Where did you get it?" Republican papers have raised the question for George K. Chamber lain, the Democratic nominee to an swer, "How did you spend it?" Some industrious digger has compiled the list of public offices Chamberlain has held since coming to Oregon from Mississippi and calculates that Cham berlain ,has drawn down more than $100,000 fn money contributed by tax payers. It is how Chamberlain spent this money that Republicans ure curious. One newspaper editor recounts that Chamberlain has been Attorney-General, District Attorney, XJovernor and United States Senator, holding some of these offices more than one term, end that Chamberlain since entering public life has scarcely ever been off the payroll, as he entered upon a new Job before the old one was worn out. In his explanation of "where he got It," Booth told the story of his life. Democrats say that Booth is an aris tocrat and does not belong to the plain people. Booth's own narrative re counts how he was one of a family of 12 children; that he lived in alog cabin, worked on a farm and took his pay in chickens; punched cattle, herded sheep and otherwise helped support the family until he was 21 years old and paid for -his first "store clothes" ,by 'gathering wool from bushes and taking the hides from 6heep which died on the range. He struggled hard for an education and acquired It. He was a day laborer, and day laborers are supposed to be plain people. By -industry he met with success and associated with oth ers he built up a sawmill Industry which developed the timber resources of interior Oregon. treatt&st tu a vain:vooi As it A Are you better off now than you were under a Republican administra tion?

You know that under Democratic presidents you have Democratic times. Remember the prosperity under McKlnley. Roosevelt and Taft. Remember conditions utoder Clove land and Wilson.

BOOTH Booth's statement Included tne dec laration that at times the sawmill he managed employed 1300 men and the payroll exceeded $80,000 a month. The concern brought into Oregon more than $10,000,000 of outside money and farmers, merchants, laborers and en tire communities received the major part of this sum, directly or tndl rectly. The Republicans point out that Booth's rise from a farm hand and day laborer Is to his credit and that hundreds of other Oregon boys are developing the same way. They also point out that the industry which Booth's efforts built up brought into the state more money than the Gov ernment has appropriated for river and harbor improvements In Oregon since the state was admitted to the Union. During the period that Booth was turning timber into a stream of gold which was flowing through interior Oregon, spreading prosperity to work era and merchants, the Republicans declare that Chamberlain was draw ing a salary from tax funds as an office-holder. Having been born in Oregon and lived here all his life, Booth's supporters contend that he knows Its people and the needs 'of the state as well as any man can and, having made good, whether as a far mer, cowboy, sheepherder, bookkeep er or sawmill man, he can make good in the Senate. ' The impression that Booth is a mil lionaire has been gained because of the great commercial enterprise which he caused to grow from almost noth ing and because of the large contri butions he has given to educational and other betterment works. Booth confesses that he never was a mil lionaire and that his holdings In the business he managed was very small; In fact, It Is about 3 per cent, or $65,000. Insistently, some of the Republican papers declare that it Is as important In Judging the fitness of a man for office to know how he spends his money as It Is to know where he gets it. They point to the large donations made by Booth to show where he has been spending his money for the ben efit of the commonwealth, and they keep asking Chamberlain, "Where did you spend it?"

In every town and city members of the Trust are out working against the bill. The Medical Trust is helping the Dental Trust by forcing nurses and "druggists, under threat of boycott, to work against dental reform. All kinds of campaign lies are being circu lated to deceive the voters. Don't let the Trust scare you. The Trust made the present dental law. Un der this law it controls the State Board of Den tal Examiners. EvCry member of that board is a member of the Trust.
