Nothing else is as good for all pulmonary troubles. The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar contains no opiates and is in a yellow package, T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store-',:'., . ' K';; TELEPHONE MAIN 661. THE WEATHER Oregon, Washington and Oregon- Fair : ' ' :N . . BRYAN MUST EXPLAIN. Bryan's attacks, as vague and in definite in expression as they were baseless in fact, upon the record and candidates of the Republican party, have served one good purpose they ,have called the attention of many who might otherwise have remained in ignorance to what has been accom plished by Republican administra tions during the past 12 years, and to the true character of the men whom the Republican party has placed in nomination. So far from being on the defensive the Republican party has not only challenged, but welcomed, inquiry, and it is not too much to say that thousands of Democrats have been led 'iy the facts as presented to take a stand for the continuation of Re publican policies under a Republican administration. Bryan's ranting has ceased to have the power it once had because those who thought at first that where there was so much noise there must be something behind it have found there was nothing behind it except the Chinese plan of seeking to scare a foe with tomtoms, screeches and howls. The Republi can party and the party's candidates met the tomtoms with the artillery of facts, and Bryan is now on the run. He has discovered that the av erage American voter is not to be fooled into mistaking for a substan tial meal a Barmecide banquet of wind, and that while audiences may sometimes show good humor by giv ing a candidate an uproarious recep tion, they are apt to do some think ing before they vote. Bryan has found that out before. For the rest of the campaign Bryan will be on the defensive. That means that he will have to do some explain ing, not only about his party's rec ord, but about the record he has made for himself. And why should he not? Mr. Taft does not ask that anything in his career be forgotten, or apologized for, or omitted from consideration by the voters to whom he appeals. There is no reason in justice, logic or fair play, therefore, for drawing a domino over the real Bryan and allowing him to masque 'rade as an innocent just brought into the limelight. Bryan must either defend Bryan or take to the woods and stay there. TUBERCULOSIS. The Tuberculosis Congress just closed in Washington, was one of the most important conferences in recent times. Truly it was the most important if the preservation of hu man life is vital. , Bubonic plague has been analyzed and checked. The cause of yellow fever has been solved and met by scientific methods. There is no fear that our authorities in the Philippines" will be unable to check and stamp out cholera. But tubercu losis goes on every day, every month, every year, all over the world, with its toll of lives exceeding the worst ravages of the most desperate wars. , It is a steady, continuous, unre lenting toll on human life. rAnd it is worse than the terrifying plagues, because it goes on all the time. It is said that the death rate from ' con sumption in America is thrice that of the mortal injuries of the battles of the Civil War. And there are prov inces in Europe that not only have been decimated but absolutely : de vastated by this disease, If there is any duty of government, it is to cope not only with pestilence , COFFEE Good is so good and poor is so poor; have Schilling's Best tomor row. Your trocar returns roar money If 70a don't ISfc U wt jr him but with :,: a death-dealing disease which slays more than the plagues destroy. Thereforejt is to be hoped that the discussions held by the dis tinguished delegates from all over the whole civilized world will event uate in measures by the various gov ernments to solve the problem of this most destructive of maladies. In this movement the United States should take the initiative. We spend a bil lion dollars a year for national gov ernment, while thousands upon thou sands die by the ravages of a disease the cure of which may be discovered by the application of a comparatively small sum to stimulate research and sustain experiment. Woman Interrupts Political Speaker A well dressed woman interrupted a political speaker recently by con tinually coughing. If she. had taken Foley's Honey and Tar it would have cured her cough quickly and expelled the cold from her system. The gen- 1 nine Foley's Honey and Tar contains I no opiate and is in a yellow pack age. Refuse substitutes. T. F. Lau rin, Owl Drug Store, i . The brethren are quite as certain that Bryan will be overwhelmingly elected as they were in 1896 and some Republicans are quite as badly scared now as they were then. Will Taft be should smile! ' ; elected? Well, he In the long run it doesn't pay to run a blind pig it is sure to squeal after a while. We are republicans and democrats provided we are not socialists and wrangle more or less in political cam paigns, but we are Americans first, all right After all, those canned speeches are not cutting a very wide swath as the campaign progresses. Have you yet found yourself in the whirl of the political excitement? It is said that at Macon, Mo., Taft kissed a baby and the crowd "went wild." It is likely that the father of the baby led in the riot. Foley's Honey and Tar cures Coughs quickly, strengthens the lungs and expels colds. Get the genuine in a yellow package. T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store. Are You Only Half Alive? People with, kidney trouble are so weak and exhausted that they are only half alive. Foley's Kidney Rem edy makes healthy kidneys, restores lost vitality, and weak, delicate peo ple are restored to health. Refuse any but Foley's. T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store. " There Is no answer to tnls conun drum: How can Bryan denounce Rooscveltlsm and claim to be at once Its father and its inheritor? "A tax on legitimate business to pay the losses of speculation" is a fair def inition of the Democratic proposition to guarantee national bank deposits. The application of the pure food law to the Democratic issues would re quire the use of a tremendous quantity of disinfectants. The 8,500,000 wage earners who have money in the savings banks are not clamoring for the "guarantee" stimu lus to speculation with bank funds. Well, have you a ticket for the Re publican band wagon? Get aboard and ride with the winners! Hunters for live animals with the camera are finding this year the ele phant a far more dignified subject than the donkey. The course of true love Is smooth compared with the rough time Democ racy Is having with its castoff affec tions and new affinities among the Issues. This Is truly a campaign of educa tion, and the amazing thing la that two other campaigns have taught Bryan nothing more than to try to rub off the blackboard the demonstrations that time has proved erroneous. Mr. Bryan says he Is not running away from his record. He cannot, however hard he may try. Mr. Bryan Is so fond of theorizing upon governmental processes that he shouldn't complain because the people prefer to let him be president in theory only.
