The speech of Senator Mitchell of Oregon' represents fairly well the sentiments held by the majority of the people of the Pacific coast on the subject of tne Philippine, and also upon the proposed granting of special privileges in our markets to the Cu ban sugar planters, says the Poet-In-tolllgencer. That sentiment is that If there are special privileges to be giv en at alt. they should be given to the people of our own possessions. K the Dtngtey rates have been re duced for the benefit of the people of Porto Rico, there is little sound argu ment why they should not be reduced to the people of the Philippines. In v this question, however, as Senator Mitchell points out. the interests of our own people are first to be con sidered. The beet sugar Interest is an agricultural Industry but just be coming established. It certainly re quires protection. Concessions made to the sugar growers outside of the limits of the United States, if any, should be so framed as to work the minimum' of injury to a home farm industry. ' On the Cuban question. Senator Mitchell sises the situation up con cisely. .,. This country is under no obli gation, express or Implied, to make any trade concessions to Cuba which will militate materially against its own producer. If a, reciprocal- ar rangement can be made with Cuba which will be to the advantage of our people, and .which will not nffeot ad versely any . American Interest or Cu ba, there can be no objection to it. No such reciprocity arrangement is, however, now under considerati Ml. . Immigration Into the United States from foreign countries for the calen dar year 1901 was the largest for any year since 1892, the total number of ar rivals for 191 being 522.57S. Of tills total 500,386 came from Europe, Italy ending the largest quota. 143.13L Austria-Hungary was represented by 133.805 and Russia by 87.387. Greece. ' Roumanla. Turkey, servia ana uui- garla, Spain and Portugal furnished 18.852 more, making a total of 381.172 from Eastern and Southern Europe, or 73 per cent of the total Inflow of immigrants from all parts of the world. Western ' Europe furnished a comparatively small number, the largest number coming from Ireland. 29.777 claiming the emerald Isle as their birhplace.

The problem of assimilating half that l9 dlt!8greeable. in short, regis a million foreigners a year is now , ter now more difficult than ever.

I It's a sure cure for past differences, China sent us 2303 "merchants," or persons not prohibited from entering by the exclusion law. About 1000 came from; the West Indies. Mexico sent us 641 and Briiti'sh North America 601. However, returns of immigration across the border may not be com. plete. Probably there were more Chi nese smuggled In from Canada and Mexico than the total number at tributed to these countries. South' America sent , us but 245. and Central America still less.. The Philippines are credited with 242 and Hawaii with 10. Africa sent us but 81, indi cating that a voluntary Invasion of Africans Is not threatening the South ern states. It Is undeniable that the immigration statistics present a seri ous problem to the United States. ' If Tlllle and Viola Church, ot II waco, aged 12 and IS year. res.c tively. are never to become good wo men, they can blame their downfall largely to the monstrous action of the officials of Pacific county, who have caused the girls to be placed under 13000 bonds to appear before the su perior court on a charge of burglary. The girls entered an IHvaco residence anil mtnlo some nrotierty. In their criminal Ignorance the officials of Pa cific county are now parading the crime of the little girls to the world. The law that governs hardened crim inals was not framed for the correc tion of children who have made mis takes, and the officials who have caused the Ilwaco girls to be Im prisoned deserve most forcible con demnation. The disposition manifest ed to make an example of these little ones Is shockingly depraved, and It is sincerely to be hoped that. In dis charging the case and sending the girls back to their honest mother, the court will administer a rebuke to the officials that they will not soon for get. All children err more or less, but they should not be corrected In prison. Pacific county has reason to be thor oughly ashamed of its officials. An aspiring legislator in an eastern state baa Introduced a bill into the state legislature to have all public highways cut down to the width re quired for actual travel. One or his leading arguments for such a measure Is that it would do away with the un sightly weeds which nourish uncheck ed by the roadside spreading their novious seed to neighboring grain and pasture fields. There can be no argu ments sufficiently strong to make an Intelligent legislature consider for a moment the advisability of cutting down the present width ot roads, says the Walla Walla Union. The tendency of the present age Is to wiJen, not make narrower. It is true that diffi culty is found In keeping down trou blesome weeds, thistles and dog fennel on highways all over the United States, but this is only an Incident to the benefits received. The wider the road, the less dust accompanies the farmer on his journey into town. The narrower the road the less the opportunity to get grading material from its sides. The wider the road the less danger from runaways and accidents. Disastrous results should ensue from many accidents where now princjpa esoape. Wlde nr8t last and always. Nothing else will ever do for this western country and if the effete east is so blinded to what is good for It as to go back to Chi nese customs. It will have to go. Let all voters understand that they must again register If they would take part in the approaching county and I mme riei-uuun. 1 ne law is very e .u . , 4 plkit and those who neglect to ob- serve it will be subjected to great in convenience on election day, and pos sibly may be denied the privilege of voting. Registration requires only a - .. . . , few moments time. The voter Is sud- plied with a blank, on which he writes his name, age, occupation, place of residence and place of birth. If he be foreign-born, he must state the court from which his naturalization papers were iBsued, as well as the and besides will help all of Oregon.

The outcome of a feud between physicians at Aberdeen, as reported, is peculiar enough to require investi gation. Certainly, there 1s nothing In any code f professional tMcs to justify the killing of a patient be cause of a grudge, concerning the merits of which the patient had noth ing to do. -Ledger." A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. "I was troubled for about seven years with my stomach and In bed ha.lt my time," says E. Demtck. Somervtlle, Ind., "I spent about S1M0 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entirely well.". Tou don't Uv by what you eat, but by what you digest and assimilate. It your stomach doesn't digest your food you are realy starring. Kodol Dyspepsia Cur doea the stomach's work by digesting the food. Tou don't have to diet Eat all you want, Ko dol Dyspepsia Cur cures nil stomach troubles. CHAS. ROOSRS. Officers at Portland arrested and held in prison a man supposed to have been guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. The man proved con clusively that he was somebody else than the criminal, that he was travel ing under his own name, and the of ficers released him. Some form ot apology should be devised to meet emergencies of this sort. Ledger. CHILDREN BSPECIALIjT LIABLE. Bums, bruises and cuts are extreme ly painful and If neglected often result in blood poisoning. Children are especi ally liable to such mishaps because not so careful. As a remedy DeWitt's Witch Basel Salve Is unequaied. Draws out the fire, stops the pain, soon heals the wound. Beware of counterfeits. Sure cure for piles. "DeWitt's Witch Haxel Salve cured my baby of ecsema after two physicians gavn her up," writes James Mock, N. Webster, Ind., The sores were so bad she soiled two to Ave dresses a day." CHAS. ROG ERS. An Idaho man swore that a girl was "over 18." This conveyed the idea that she had reached the age where it was legal for her to marry. It seems that the fellow had taken the precau tion to cut the number 18 In the heel of the girl's shoe. He has been ar rested on the tocarge of perjury, and it remains to be demonstrated wheth er or not the law can safely be monk eyed with in this Imbecile fashion. A LEGACY OF THE GRIP Is often a run-down system. Weak ness, nervousness, lack of appetite, energy and ambition, with disordered liver and Kidneys often follow an at tack of this wretched disease. The greatest need then is Elertrlc Bitters, the splendid tonic, blood purifier and regulator of Stomach, Liver and Kid neys. Thousands have proved that they wonderfully strengthen the nerves, build up the system, and re store to health and good spirits after an attack of Grip. If suffering, try them. Only "0c. Perfect satisfaction guaranteed by Hart's Drugstore. Frank James has secured an In junction against the presentation of a play in which the James brothers are made to appear as heroes and the train robber Is glorified to a degree that Mr. James as a gentleman of ex perience does not think he deserves. The desire to hold up the stage is far more commendable than the old fash ion of holding up the express car. CHILD WORTH MILLIONS. "My child is worth millions to me," says Mrs. Mary Bird of Harrlsburg, Pa-. et I would have lost her by croup had I not purchased a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure." One Min uti Crugh Cure Is sure cure fo;' coughs, croup and throat and lung troubles. An absolutely safe cough cure which acts Immediately. The youngest child can take It with entire safetiy. The little ones like the taste and remember how often it helped them. Evry fam ily should have a ho'tt of One Minute Cough Cure handy. At this season es pecially it may be needed suddenly. CHAS. ROGERS. When one bower denies that It had anything to do with the Intervention business another power accuses the first of quibbling. This is the purely diplomatic way of hurling the epithet nar," but so softly as to Inflict no bruise. A THOUSAND DOLLARS THROWN AWAY, r Mr. W. W. Baker, of Plalnview, Neb., writes: "My wife had lung trouble for over fifteen years.' Ws tried a number of doctors and spent over a thousand dollars without any relief. She was very low and I lost all hope, when a friend suggested trying Foley's Honey and Tar, which I did; and thanks be to this great remedy, u gaVed her life. She Is stronger and enjoys better health than she has ever known In ten years. We shall never be without Foley's Honey and Tar and would ask those afflicted to try it Sold by Hart's Drugstore. DON'T LIVE TOGETHER. Constipation and health never go to gether. DeWitt's Little Karly Risers promote easy action of the bowels without distress. "I hav been trou bled with costlvenesa nine years." says J. O. Greene, Depauw, Ind., "I have tried many remedies but Little Early Risers give best results." CHAS. ROURRS. An Ellenburg, Wash., man Is In Jail In default of a fine It will take him about ten' months at $3 a dj' o board out. In his political enthudant he had mtule the mistake of buying votes.

Worse than an alarm ot Are at night la the brassy cough ot croup, which sounds like the children's death- knell and It means death unless something Is dons quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar never falls to give Instant relief and quickly cures the worst forms ot croup. Mrs. P. I Cordler, ot Man nlngton, Ky., writes: "My three year eld girl had a severs case ot croup; the doctor said she could not live. I get a bottle ot Foley's Honey and Tar, the first does gave quick relief and saved her life." Refuse substitutes. Sold by Hart's Drugstore.
