BAILEY ON THE GRILL.
United States Senator Joseph Bailey
of Texas, is on the grill. And the grill i
super-heated with truths that are bum
ing deep in his, and the country's, con
sciousnes. It is a pitiable spectacle;
and yet. it is inevitable. To be clean,
so clean as to escape the withering
blasts of public censorship in this day
and age, the representative of the com
mon people MUST NOT BE LIXED-UP
WITH TRUSTS. Tbe day of the trust
is on the wane; national sentiment is
growing rapidly, and savagely, against
them and it will reach a point before
long, when no man in the country will
have the courage to contend against
the embargo, for its last letter of anni
hilation will be observed. Joe. Bailey,
with his brilliant equipment, and splen
did resolution, might have been a demi
god in the eyes of the people, had he
been true to himself and bis great
trust; but he has swung the wrong
way; he has championed the one tremen
dous evil that is hourly becoming the
bete noir of the people and he must
take his innings of destation and the
accompanying bitterness of spirit.
Greater men than Senator Bailey are to
realize the crushing force of public an
tagonism to this over-weening and arro
gant power, now at the summit of its
debatable glory, and when the hour for
retributive demonstration shall come,
the mantle of their greatness will be
come an habiliment of scorn and shame;
and new men, with the lesson of the
fierce reversal fresh upon their souls,
will be sent in their places, to save the
land and its fruitage to the people. This
is not socialism; it is the simple state
ment of a logical conclusion wrought
out of the web and woof of THINGS
AS THEY ARE, and is so plain that
"he who runs may read."
; o
, , LIMITATIONS.
There is one basic law for which the
world should be profoundly grateful, but
is not. It is rarely thought of, though
there is assurance and downright com
fort in its certainty and the thorough
ness with which it operates. That is,
that everything, whether it be of na
tural emanation, or of human appropria
tion and application, has its limitations.
There are points at which all things,
good and bad, cease to be effective, and
mast be re-wrought and rc-energizcd,
before they can resume their functions.
This principle is active in human so
ciety, and finds constant and conspicuous
manifestation in every avenue of inter
communication and service. For in
stance, unionism, as the vital process of
labor control and amalgamation, is
deemed the only true principle, but un
less it is guided with the utmost wisdom
and applied with conservatism that
makes it acceptable, it will surely find
its linnitjaltions, and be compelled to
undergo formulation anew, to better
adapt it to the lives of the men who
cherish it most. It is already becoming
warped, and heedlessly applied, and
must eventually becqme bo perverted as
to render it useless because of its dim
inished integrity and misdirection. Those
to whom the world looks for the pre
servation of the best frtiit of orjwnixed
labor, had better turn their activities to
ward thi saving problem, for their ow
sake and the Rood of mankind.
o
THE "CHINOOK" FARCE.
Sixteen months ago, or thereabout, the
government, dredger Chinook wine north
from San Francisco, where she had un
dergone some $.13,000 worth of repairs
at Mare Inland, or some other depot
for such work, and from that day t
this she has not done a stroke of work
at least, nothing to impair her in any
way. Hut, jut as it becomes expedient
to put her on the Columbia river bar t
do temporary work that shall eke out
the eventual good the jetty system is
billed to do, she is suddenly discovered
to be in such wretched condition, as t
boilers, for instanc", that ?SO,000 must
needs lie expended nHn her. before she
can enter upon any sort of service. There
must have been a lovely graft afoot
while she was down there for thn
$35.tXW worth of repairs or ele there is
a bald lie out about her now. Her use
on the bar has been under discussion for
month past, and not a word has been
said a to defective boiler, nor any
other defects; but the moment the de
mand for her service waxes eager and
of some potency (for even Portland was
amenable to the plan of using her on
the bar this season) she is hopelessly
impaired and cannot be had. Evidently
the super-sensitiveness of the engineer
ing corps in charge of the jetty-work
would be shocked beyond measure, if
the dredger should be employed to
amplify the channels their work is sup
posed to supply. Hah!

But few of our readers, we imagine
ever give a thought to the value of this
paper to the community. The home paper
has an influence for good that is hard
to overestimate. In many cases, it
moulds public opinion; it does well its
part in protecting and preserving the
government. It takes the place of a
itanding army in guarding the liberties
of the people; it teaches your children
morality, truth and power, it brings
many rich blessings to the homes it
visit with but little financial reward
for its labors, and in too many instances
not any. Th? home paper is the mirror
in which those at a distance see us. It
is the plain duty of all who are inter
ested in our town to take personal in
terest in the town's paper and assist in
every way possible in making it a true
representative of our intelligent and
hospitable people as well as our enter
prising and developing city. Send
tho paper to your friends, bring us the
news and do your duty by your home
paper and it will meet you more than
half way. When you help your home
paper you help your town and indirectly
help yourself, for we are all equally in
terested in our town and community.
Jealousy is one of the most humiliat
ing, belittling and pride-wrecking emo
tions. It is a frightful thing for a wom
an to be obliged to acknowledge, even to
herself, that she is jealous of her hus
band, for in this confession she expresses
a belief that some other woman has
greater powers of fascination that she
ha. There are various ways of making
ignited and set fire to the clothes of
woman may know the man she is always
in danger of overdoing. A man tires
more quickly of the woman who hang
around him every moment and lavishes
upon him continual attention than he
does of the one who keeps better control
of her affection and also worries the
gentleman a littlp by making him wonder
just how fond she is of him. The hap
piest married people are those who keep
on flirting with each othvr, the man
feeling interested in giving his wife a
thousands attentions and the wife deal
ing him a bit of coquetry now and then
to keep life interesting.
While in Russia they sell sunflower
seeds as we do peanuts in America, and
everybody munches them as a dainty, in
this country they have suddenly vaulted
into high repute as a stock food as well
as for the excellent oil that is extracted
from them. Thus Rood Brothers of Lake
Park, Iowa, did so well with a crop of
an acre last year that they have planted
five acres this year, having contracts for
$1.75 to $2.00 per bushel for the seed.
They say they can easily raise 20 bushels
to the acre.
It is stated that within the 86 years
of existence the order of Odd Fellows has
helped over 2,500,000 of its members in
times 0 fneed, relieved more than 200,
000 widowed families, buried nearly an
equal number of its honored dead with
all the honors and ceremonies of Odd Fel
lowship and to do all this has involved
the outlay of over $08,000,000, which has
been cheerfully contributed to the noble
work.

E are told that tins is a purely commercial nge ; that w

that, even if that bo true, wo hnvo now what tho worlc
lacked then AN KNLIG1ITKNE1) PURUO COX-
SCIENCE.
But we are told by tho critics that graft exists EVERYWHERE
today, and I answer that, while here is graft hero and there, it does
not compare with the reckless dishonesty of olden times. Even a hun
dred years ago the English government is said to have rocked with
graft. It was more flagrant and widespread. Ministers traflicked in it
and men in high places did as they were told AND RECEIVED
THEIR PAY. Compared with the graft of today it was tremendous
and yet little was said of it and few were harshly judged. This was in
tho dav of William Fitt.
They also tell me that this is an ago of personal denunciation, and
I say that, while this may be measurably true, it is not tho denunciation
heard and read in the days of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson
and John Quincy Adams. In those days the newspapers printed mat
ter that for VIRULENCE AND VITUPERATION would make
our newspapers of today blush with shame.
No, when it is all summed up thero never was a timo in tho history
of the world when the AVERAGE man was so intelligent ns ho is
now nor so good. And what of the insurance scandals ? Why, twenty
years ago yes, even ten years ago these scandals would not have
been noticed ; they would not have been SCANDALS at all. Public
conscience has quickened since then, and it is this revivified public con
science thnt roots out dishonesty, brings it to light and punishes tho
guilty ones. Public conscience has come to bo stricter, more energetic
than of old, and it makes itself FELT MORE in the affairs of our
national life than it ever did in the past.
the WORLD, I THINK, IS ON THE WAY TO EVEN A HIGHER
AND BUTTEn PU3LIC CONSCIENCE.
How to Break Up a Cold.
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days' time.
The first symptoms of a cold are a dry,
loud cough, a profuse watery discharge
from the nose, and a thing, white coat
ing on the tongue. When Chamberlain's
cough remedy is taken every hour on
the first appearance of these symptoms,
it counteracts the effect of the cold and
restores the system to a healthy condi
tion within a day or two. For sale by
Frank Bart and leading druggists.
