Secretary John H. Whyte, of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce," has given the people of Oregon some thing to think about. in his expose of the wide divergencies in the exports and imports innuring to the Colum bia river and Puget Sound. They are not the result of a passing and super ficial inquiry, but the net result of some very steady and painstaking fig uring directed to the ascertainment of actual conditions in this important relation, and are not given to the public in any other spirit than that which seeks to get to the levels and to the practical knowledge of very essential things. Debatable figures axe worse than no figures at all; the truism that "figures do not lie" in no aort guarantees the Correlative fact j that inspired calculators will not Hence the plain, unvarnished totals put forth by Mr. Whyte, in determining the net disadvantages under which the Columbia river is laboring, in this grave contingency, are to be tak en for exactly what they read, while the lesson they offer is entitled to earnest and instant absorption by the tens of thousands of interested values, accessibility, channels, etc., etc, linked with such names as Gil ford, Balfour-Guthrie, and others of that ilk; and while we are generally disposed to hold such rumors in dis paragement until they are properly qualified, we are not averse to align ing them with the very apparent cer tainties that the grain Beets to the Columbia river are falling off rapidly in numbers and tonnage and that there is abundant cause for it somewhere. It is time the State was waking up to the situation and taking" cognizance of facts that exist beyond the column rules of - the Portland Oregonian That paper speaks for Portland alone; the State' and its commerce are, so far aa this great daily is con cerned, ceneter at Portland, nothing outside its boundaries is considered fit for championship and support. This has been denied as often as it has been declared in this State; but all the same the people know, now. that the charge lies, proven and pro nounced, and that if the larger ele ments of progress throughout the commonwealth are to be nourished and perfected, it will be from an in itiative arising far beyond the me tropolis, and quite independent there of, for a movement to correct the growing losses under consideration here. The ships must be brought within the Colombia river and loaded out on the bar than will float a ship to her docks; and hence she will cheerfully sacrifice the entire business to the Sound, rather than have it center, in whole or in part, at any other port. 'This is the primal and vital cause for the tremendous sag in the ship ping interests on the Columbia, and it is time the State was waking to the peril and doing something to neu traliie the hoggishness that has wrought it. THE BLITHESOME VETO. The People, the Governor and the Veto, constitute a triune force for good in this fine old State of ours! We have no boqucts to waste on Governor Chamberlain; but we are not disposed to deny him anything that is coming to him by way of ra tional gratitude for the vetoes he may impose against the Legislature impo. sit ions and blunders of the hour. What his veto shall not accom plish the people will take care of later on, along with the authors of the trouble. And there will be plenty for them to do, if signs now out do not fail About the only absurdity yet to be achieved by the Oregon Legisla ture of 1909 is the anti-Japanese cam paign which is setting California by the ears. But whatsoever comes, we are relying on the veto to save us,! , . t .... , t . i . . ana on me mutative anu rcicixiiuum to justify the Governor. His stand, that all salaries raised shall operate from the new incumbency, is based on a principle of business that does not need a grain of political inquiry or comment to bolster it. EMM TIES H ill STAND AGAINST JAP ASSEMBLY PASS GIFFEN ANTI ALIEN LAND BILL WITH OUT OPPOSITION. CARSONT, Nev, Feb. S.-The Ne vada Assembly this afternoon passed the Giffen anti-alien land bill, which provides that no Asiatics including the Japanese shall own land in this state. The measure was passed with. out any opposition, hut It is believed the Senate will practically kill the purport of the bill so far aa it is aimed at the Japanese. The GilTen's bill provides that any non-residen alien peton or corporation, except subjects of the Chinese and Japanese empire may "own land within the state. oeoole in the Columbia " Basin, and especially those on the Oregon side ' of it, even if not a single bottom M the great river. Apropos of this statement, it may be mentioned for what it is worth, that there have been certain definite inquiries made at this end of the Co- shall go to the port up on the Williamette; the Columbia bar must be deepened, quickly, practically, ade quately, and the people of the Colom bia Basin, the people of Oregon, must hmbia lately by men deeply interest-j do it, if the Government will do no ed in the grain shipments from the more than Portland dictates it shall Northwest, as to water frontages, j do. That port wants no more water The Facts About Peruna. Ia Penma an alcoholic beverage in disguise T It it possible to use Permit u a fubstitate for whiskey T Co people bay Penma and use it aa a toddy, or a bitten, or a bracer! It would be the easiest thing in the world for any oiie to demonstrate the iaMty of inch statement Let any one go to ihe drug store and purchase a bot tle of Penma, Let him undertake to use it as a beverage, or take this remedy in doses considerably larger than those prescribed on the bottle. Would the result be alcoholic intoxication! Kothineof the sort let anr one fcrw it and ma. " Penma is a medical compound quite heavily loaded with medicinal ingred ients. If taken in doses larger than prescribed it would produce a positive drug effect JTo one wuld take it aa a beverage. If any one doubts these state ments, try it and see. We know that Penma cannot be used as a bever age; that it will not intoxicate; that it cannot be used as a substitute for liquors.

' THJS IBGEEDIESTS ABE PLADTLY r Ala ixjj va m iiLX. it has been said over and over again that chemists have analyzed Peruna and found it to contain only cabebs and whiskey. ffow we challenge any chemist to demonstrate any such statement Let any one who has even a smattering knowledge of chemistry purchase a bottle of Peruna and see whether or not it contains whiskey, find out for him- self whether or not it is composed of cheap whiskey and cubebs. Of course, cubebs is one of the Ingredients of Peruna, but there are many other Ingred ients. It contains hydrastis canadensis, corydalis formosa, collinsonia, and at least four other medicinal ingredients. To be sure, no chemist could so ana lyse Peruna at to be able to identify the various medicinal ingredients. This is beyond the ability of any chemist But any ordinary chemist would be able to say that Peruna is heavily loaded with medicinal ingredients of some kind in addition to cubebs. Sow why are these statements repeated when their falsity could be so easily demonstrated! Simply because there is continued hostility toward Pe runa on the part of the medical profession. Very likely the magazines which took up the crusade against Peruna and denounced it as a cheap beverage were misled by statements of the medical profession. Probably they were sincere in their attitude towards it But now, after all these things have been said and refuted, it would seem to be in order for such people to use a little fairness and common sense in the matter. .Every time anyone says that Peruna is nothing but cheap whiskey and eubebs he is telling a lie, an absolute falsehood. Most people intend to speak the truth. -But the prevalent habit of repeating other people's statements, without investigation as to their truth, has led many well-meaning doodIo to say these false things about Peruna. y TJsed according to the directions on the bottle, PEE USA IS A SAFE AHD EELIABLj ICATAEEH EEMEDY, but, like any other good medlcmTif -" """-" juuuuo urug enects very unpleasant to the person who takes it It is therefore up to every honest person to quit making such statement! concerning Peruna, or acknowledge that he is repeating slanders about which he knows nothing. One might just as well say that Castor Oil is an intoxicant that if taken in large enough doses it will operate as a "booze " If neonle never tried to eee, but simply repeated such statements about Castor OiL the majority of people would come to believe them. It is no easier to demonstrate fuch a statement about Castor Oil than it would be about Peruna. Any one who takes Peruna knows that such statements are false To say that Peruna is cheap whiskey and cubebs may constitute good material for Jakes on the vaudeville stage, but there is no excuse for any one who nretends to be truthful saying over again thfa oft-repeated falsehood.

WOMEN AS POLICE. BAYONNE, N. J.Feb. S.-At the next meeting of the common Council, Mrs. Julia Goldzer will seek to have the icty appoint and pay at least five women to do police duty in the parks during the coming Summer. Mayor Garven has sanctioned the project and it is predicted women police will become a reality. It is suggested that femine police wear blue blouses, blue caps with gold braid, blue skirts and black leather leggings. And for adornment there will be a row of brass buttons down the front of the blue blouse.

The great patience and wonderful self-control under the criticism of those who do not understand them are evidences that they have succeeded. The pos session of a noble character is the greatest evidence in the world that one has succeeded. On the other hand, if a man has gotten a fortune, but has left his nmn hood on the way to it;' if he has bartered his good name in the pro cess of getting it, he is still a failure, no matter how much money he may have accumulated. A clean record is the greatest kind of a success. And bow few men who make big fortunes manage to save their good name, to keep their record clean! . , The mere possession pf money may be no evidence whatever that a man has succeeded- If he cannot control himself; if his aims are low and vul gar; if he is greedy and grasping and selfish; if he takes advantage of oth ers; if he robs others of opportunity; if he has used them as stepping-stones upon which to climb to his fortune, he is a failure measured by all that constitutes a real man real values that are worth while. Ex- MAY BE FALSE WILL BOSTON, Feb. S It is the belief expressed by the Boston authorities that the will of the late Benjamin Hadley the Somerville Hermit, found recently on a doorstep in England, disposing of property valued at $500, 000 is a forgery. Michael F. Farrell of this city, administrator of the es tate of Mr. Hadley, last night declar ed that charges would be brought against four persons in England for forgery and conspiracy. Mr. Hadley was believed here to have died intes tate. Recently however an announce ment came from London that Mr TT. J1 , , , , , , nauicys win nau Deen tounu on a a doorstep in that city. The alleged will had a bequest to President Roosevelt of $10,000, which the Presi dent has refused to accept. see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your former misery. The correct name for your trouble is Food Fermentation food souring; the Digestive organs become weak, there is lack or gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, I pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, consti pation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of ga, . biliousness, sick headache, nervousness, dizzinencss and many other similar symptoms. If your appetite is fickle, and nothing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom , of all this there is but one cause fermentation of undigested food. Prove to yourself, after your next meal, that your stomach is as good as any; that there is nothing really wrong. Stop this fermentation and begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. Almost instant relief is waiting for you. It is merely a matter of how soon you take some Diapepsin.

S.-Roman Catholic priests in this city have in' terested themselves to such extent in the case of Thomas McAfee, the young man from Mahony Plain, Pa-, who was acquitted this week ;of the charges of burglary preferred by Ed ward J- Reardon, a former county de tective, that they have decided to hold a meeting here either today or tomorrow to further vindicate Mc Atec, and to discuss what steps, if any, shall be taken against Reardon. The Roman Catholic Clergy have followed the case closely because of the fact that Father James Hogan, McAtce's pastor, remained here dur ing most of the trial to aid the young man, whom he declared, from the start to be innocent and after the ac quittal sent an open letter to the clergyman asking their aid to prevent "The railroading of innocent men to prison."
