Under the subject. "Hell Let Loose,"
and with a border of deep mourning,
V. L. Stead, the eccentric and radical
Kngtish Journalist, has published an ar
ray of testimony and facts lending to
show th.it his countrymen have gross
ly violated the rules of civilised war
fare In the management of the cam
paign In South Africa. The evidence Is
conclusive and comes direct from men
on the field. It explains, as Mr.
Stead believes and comes very near
proving, the rause of the recent renew
al of hosti'l'.ies on the part of the
Eoers after the war was supposed to
be over. With their homes destroyed
and their wives and daughters selling
themselves to the English soldiers for
food with hich to maintain a wretch
ed existence, or left defenseless to en
dure the brutal assaults of a saveage
Kaffirs,, there appears nothing left for
the burghers but death. War In itself
Is barbarous enoush, but it can be
made infinitely more so than Is neces
sary, by unscrupulous officers who per
mit the accomplishment of every kind
of outrage in the hope of frightening an
unconquerable enemy Into submission.
As Mr. Stead maintains Is true In this
Instance, the result of such a policy
used against a bruve people Is us
ua'l;' tb reverse of what was antici
pated. The Portland Evening Telegram of
Saturday last, under the head, "Deeper
Channel Necessary," asserts that "a
ship draw ing twenty-four feet of water
went down the river to Astoria this
wc.'k steadily and easily." The refer
ence Is to the Chlng Wo, which was
very "steady" while It hung on the hog.
back but the movement down the river
wa not as "easy" then as It would
have been to a vessel of lighter draught
Rot there is something refreshing In
the fact that the Telegram goes so
far as tc publish In its columns the fact
that "a portion of her cargo was ligh
tered to Astoria." There is hope for
Portland. There was a time, not very
Jong since, when the admission of such
a fact in a Portland paper would have
cost someone hla Job. But ''the world
do move." The progressive editor of
the Telegram even goes so far as to
admit that "the river channel must
he deepened to about 30 feet. Or etoe
Portland must fall In with the proposi
tion to move the port, so far as deep
draught ships arc concerned, to Asto
ria." Let the river channel's depth bo
what It may, the Telegram will find
that when common point rates are
printed Astoria "deep-dranght ships"
and a good many others will stop a
Oregon's natural port.
MAL-NUTRITION
You may or may not be eat
ing enough; and are thin.
You may or may not feel well
some folks don't know what
it is to feel well.
This is mal-nutrition. You
are not getting the use of your
food.
Take a little Scott's emul
sion of cod-liver oil. Begin
with a little; increase ; but don't
overdo it. . Take as much as
you can without upsetting the
stomach.
Feeling well is bodily happi
ness. We'll trad jroo s little to try, U jot Mkt.

- THE NEW CENTURY.
We have entered upon a new century
The past with its mistakes and suc
cesses lives only In memory. It was,
above nil, the century of mechanical
(U'Teloumot. The present bids fair to
be the century of commercial develop,
piciit, particularly as regards our own
ration. It requires no prophet to wee
thai this century la to place us at the
head m commerce, as the last has plac
ed us ahead In every other respM. It
must peeds be so. The past has fitted
us for It, the present demands It. The
center of commercial activity, with the
awakening of Asia, Is shifting lo the
center of population. U He on the
shores of the Pacific, over which Amer
ica lules, the undisputed mistress. The
nation of the world, and China,
p.tt century the leaders In every sphere
of activity, are left behind in the west
ward march of progress and civilisa
tion. America, the greatest producing
naiion of the world, and the Chinese,
the greatest consumer, are upon op
posite shores of the Crreat American
Sta. In this fact lies not only the as
surance of our coming commercial de
velopment but equal assurance of the
final supremacy of the Pacific coat
over the Atlantic. We are in the center,
then, of the arena of the new century's
greatest activities and to us and to
our posterity the century ppena with
the brightest possible outlook for the
coming years.
GOV. GEER'S TEXTBOOK COMMI3
SION.
Salem Capital Journal.
Probably never in the history of Ore
gon has the appointment of a commis
sion with small emolument caused such
general Interest a the naming of the
forthcoming school text book, commis
sion. Even the election of the United
St.ites Renator Is not much more com
mented upon by the press of the state.
This Is as it should be, for the selection
of the text books for our rising gen
eration is of vastly more importance
than the personality of a senator. Gov
ernor Geer has wisely laid his plana In
this matter, and in following out the
ideas expressed In his widely circulat
ed newspaper interviews on this sub
ject he intends to be guided by prin
ciples which mean something for our
state rather than by individual favor
itism. This again Is as it should be.
The nan named on this commission
should be not only of the highest type
of Amerlcau citizenship, but they
should be good business men, as well
as men versed In the needs of the grow
ing youth of our state. Their work
will be a sacred task, and only men
should be placed in charge of It who
will contemplate their duties from that
point of view. Above all things they
should be far-seeing, and able to know
before thr-y act Just what the ultimate
effect of their work will be in Us re
lation to themselves and the public.
This may seem to be asking a great
deal, but why not? Is not Oregon en
titled to the best men In the public
service? Are not the Oreg-on children
entitled to the best that can be had?
Now Ik tht vital time, and If the right
kind of a commission is named, such
an one as the governor has outlined
be chosen, these high Heals will have
been met. If the commission should
be made up of inferior or mediocre talent
It would be too late to get the results
jesired, hence the great wisdom of
moving rightly at this time.
If Oregon ever comes to the front, it
v.ill be necessary to have her schools
take the lead, and there is no Imagina
ole way In which this can be so well
done as by giving our teachers and
r.upils the test tools to work with.
Thre are few homes In the state which
are not nore vitally Interested In this
'me question than they are In who Is to
be president, or whether our govern
ment is for or against certain policies.
What a child gets out of his school
work is what tells in the future of our
commonwealth, and his facilities for
getting the most out of these years
will have the most telling effect for our
Mate.
Three Influences seem to be at work
to shape the selection of the commis
sion. First, the limitations of the con
stitution, pointed 'out by the governor,
including members of the laat legisla
ture who voted for the bill, and per
sons who are holding some other lu
crative office of election or appoint
ment This also Includes the county
nuperlntendents. Being a reform meas
ure, its faithful execution precludes
making up the commission of persons
who are responsible for the conditions
now prevailing in the textbook busi
ness In Oregon. Persons are being
petitioned tor aM highly recommended
who not only opposed the Daly bill,
but who would be perfectly satisfied to
keep all the present text book at pres-
nt price, ai-.d who would even keep
the system that has worked so bad-
it there la to be any substantial
reform under the Paly bill commission
It must be made up from new material
and from men of such business' ability
as to be able to resist the commercial
ism that h,, nMt-.iw i it.- ... .-.i

S1000 WORTH OF GOOD
A. H. Thurness. of Wills Creek Coal
w Budaio. O., wrtUs: "I have been
atrieted with kidney and bladder troub-
le for years, passing gravel or stones
with excruciating pain. Other medi
cines only gave relief. After taking
oieys Juaney uure the result was sur
prising. A few doses started the brick
Just, like fine stones, etc.. and now I
have no pain across my kidneys, and
I feel like a new man. Foley's Kidney
Cure did me llfWO worth of good.'
Take no substitute. CHAS. ROGERS.
Druggist.
In answer to the question. "What is
a rig? ' the editor of an exchange fur
nlshes the information that it is an out
fit for which a young man blows In the
fruits of the labors of a week for the
privilege 0 letting his best girl hold
the lines for an hour while h holds
ber.
Cold and cough cures are numerous,
but the one that leads all others In
merit. Is Foley's Honey and Tar, which
is in great demand these days. CHAS.
ROGERS, Druggist.
A woman Is a queer combination.
While she delights in the littlest bit
of a foot, she Is not supremely, happy
unless her nat is as Dig as a cartwheel.
FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dr. C, 3. Bishop, Agnew, Mich., say:
"I have used Foley's Honey and Tar In
three very severe case of pneumonia
with good results In every case." There
Is nothing so good. CHAS. ROGERS,
uruggist
Men and women ought, perhaps, to
enjoy equal rights, and yet if we saw
men wearing millinery and kiss each
other on the streets we would throw
bricks at 'em.
FOR HOARSENESS.
BenJ. Ingerson, of Hutton, Ind., says
he had not spoken a word above a
whisper for months, and one bottle of
Foley Honey and Tar restored hi
voice. It Is used largely by speakers
and singers. Take no substitute.
CHAS ROGERS. Druggist,
She saw It In the window, and
She raved about it till
She bought it, then, Just like all men,
tie raved about the bill.
A cold, cough or la grippe can
"nipped In the bud" with a dose or two
of Foley' Honey and Tar. Beware of
substitute. CHAS. ROGERS, Drug
