SOLVE OR SUFFER.
The consumer, dNsatitied with the
treatment he receive Rt the hand of
the pernon from whom he buy hi gen
eric, waring apparel, etc.. ha the pnv
ilege of trailing with other dealer ill the
same line. The consumer who patron
ize the corporation which ha a mon
opoly of any public utility i at the
mercy of the monopolist. He doc not
hav tint privilege of choosing from
whom he will buy a monopolised com
modity. It therefore stand to reason
that if any corporation i unfair to it
patrons, the latter are entitled to a rem
edy. There are but to remedies that
suggest theniselx r. One is imuuYioal,
tate or national regulation and super-
vision; the other i public ownership of
utilities. The corporation which are of
the kind that have no consideration for
the pcopje other than to get an much
money from them a possible for tiie
minimum degree of service, will event
ually be compelled to accept one of those
renxslifi. Regulation and Mix-rviin
will still leave them adequate return for
motley invested. If they refuse to ac
cept that tkey must blame no one but
themselves if public ownership is do
inunded, and the demands are enforced.
The whole question is up to the corporation.

READ ALL THIS
PUNY POTENTATE.
The Russian Kmperor is at the lat
ditch in the fight going on beteen hi
people and his lord. Nicholas the Third
face the same tremendous crisis that
ha confronted the rule of absolutism
everywhere on top of the Earth. He
must give way way; must give repre
sentative government to his subject
and wipe out the lat vestige of tyran
nical, coercive force; nni-t wipe out the
bureaucratic form that have made hU
government a by -word of hate among
the nation fur centuries; must align
himself with the spirit of procedure in
t . - ...
national life that belongs to 1905, or go
down in a cataclysm of ruin, in which
hia dynasty, hi family, hi Empire and
his friends will all figure in sacrifice
fearful to contemplate. He is even now
trembling on the verge of making Count
Witte Chancellor of the Empire and giv
ing the nation a parliament with large
prerogative and abolishing martial law
throughout his dominions, but his in
berent personal weakness is again giving
way before the tremendous pressure of
the imperial cabal of grand dukes and
hereditary henchmen, a it always has
in the past, and there is but little hope
that lie will muster courage enough to
do the one great act of his poor, pur
poseless life. The fearful alternative
of internecine war, or rapine, murder,
and the endless array of horrors attend
ant Upon great revolutions, will repeat
itself to the undoing of the Russian
eople, and the puny, impciial human
toy will be tmia-hed in the doing of it.
It is pitiful, but as certain as all other
edicts of fate, and as iicee.-ry as it is
-ertaln.
EDUCATOR TOO.
Roosevelt the Educator. That's what
he i. He has done more in the public
career that has been his, to educate the
American people along line of national
duty and sectional reion-dlility, than
any man in the life of the nation. To
this man's wisdom and diplomacy i
due the absolute wiping out of the old
bug bear of Southern hostility to all
things Northern and the beauty of it all
i that it ha been done effectually.
There is nothing transitory in the spir
it that yields him such universal and dis
tinct honor throughout the whole Smth.
The Southerner i no man to play with
his own prejudice; he cherishes them
and fight for them, or he cast them
out. once and forever, and is just as
loyal to the newer inspiration as he was
to the old.
o
AS IT WAS AND IS.
fme giant battle ship of today uli
as made junk of a large part of the
Runsian fleet in the battle of the Sea of
lupan could destroy both the liccts en
gaed in the most itieturcwiiu- and in
many respects most ni'iiiorable nava
battle of history that of Trafalgar
and come out of the contest without
even the paint knocked from its arm
ored sides. A vessel that can pour in
a deudy fire at a distance of from three
to five miles was probably not even
dreamed of or desired by Nelon. Hi
liked to close with the encmv and do
real fighting, hand to hand, if nece
sary.
o
Colonel Wattet'soii, like all genuine
Southerners, never does things by halves,
and his enthusiastic greeting of the
President in his Southern trip is merely
an illustration of the changed spirit of
the South toward Theodore Roosevelt
as man and President.

ALWAYS READY TO HELP.
The Oregonian of yesterday gives
voice to an actual and imperative con
dition confronting the commerce of the
hlate and its metropolis, that is alarm
ing. Secretary Taft will not recommend
appropriations for harbor and river im
provements from Congress at the coming
session, and all available funds for the
Columbia river and bar are exhausted.
This is indeed serious and the Astorian
can but feel a measure of Hatisfnction
In having shown the real conditions on
the bar, since the showing may be used
nt Washington as one of the potential
reasons to be employed in urging Sec
retary Taft to relinquish the stand he
lia taken, and ask for an emergency
appropriation to at least proceed with
the work in hand.

Halloe'en Pranks Are to Be Expected

Their Share of Attention.
The wise limn will see that extra
fastenings are placed on his gate tonight
and if he has a hell on the door of his
rcidcnce he will I saved all kind of
annoyance if he will muffle it for a few
hour.

from their hangings may lie found in
any old place tomorrow morning. The
transposition of signs in another thing
that amuses the youngsters and some
of those youngsters attain a fair-sized
growth before they forget to engage in
these pranks.
Tonight is Hallowe'en, or the eve of
the Feast of All Saints, and from time
immemorial it ha been a night given
up to merrymaking.
The Iwy do not have things all their
own way, for while they are out paint

on top of church spires and all that

be playing varioua tricks in an effort to
ascertain the man who will have the
honor of leading them to the altar.

" Words cannot describe the terri
ble ecrttna I suffered with. I wa
almost a solid mass of sores from head
to foot, and looked
more like a piece
of raw beef than a
human being.
Blood apd pus
oozed from a great
ore on my scalp,
from under my fin
ger nails, and near
ly all over my
body, and every
hair in my head
fell oat. I could not sit down, for
my clothes would stick to the raw
and bleeding fkh, making me :ry
out with pain. My doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. I
did not think I could live, and wanted
death to end my frightful sufferings.
"My mother-in-law begged me to
try Cuticura. I said I would, but bad
no hope of recovery. But oh, what
blessed relief I txpericncsd after ap
plying Cnticura Ointment. It cooled
the bleeding and itching flesh, and
brought me the first real sleep in
weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a
burning tongue. I would bathe with
warm water and Cuticura Soap, then
apply the Ointment freely, and took
the Resolvent for the blood. Soon the
sores stopped running, the flesh began
to heal my hair started to grow, and
in a short time I was completely
cured. If any one doubts this, tell
them to write to me. Mrs.Wm. Hunt,
