CRITICISING THE SENATE.
A. few days ago, the Portland Mora
ine Oregonian criticised the senate
ssT the United States for alleged de
fects. Then a lot of newspapers crit
Scheil the Oregonian for criticizing
She senate. The burden of their com
gilalnt at the Portland journal was
tthat the senate should he in a meas
J2TI' exempt from sharp criticism, by
irirtue of its dignity. It is a ques
tion whether or not the senate should
xot have more acrid criticism than
2& receives. But, regardless of the
Mjweific acts of the senate jus: now
ar during recent years, no branch of
2iie American congress, no state icg-
Ihhture. no official of either state or j
national or municipal government, no j
tJge upon the bench, in man who
txssumes to preform the functions of j
:s public servant, is exempt from crl- j
Keisin. Anil, were attempt made to '
dsnforee the sentiments of the critics
iaf the Oregonian, for instance, thoy
would he the loudest in rebellion ,
tpiinst the compulsion. '
Criticism lias its good effects. It
Izvts no man that is right, and the
.nan who is wrong should be criticis
:L It is the boast of this republic
ihat liberty of the press and citizens
,to express their views is assured to
:aU.
UP TO GOOD CITIZENS.
The - people of Portland have had
.jassed up to them a proposition of
the endorsement or turning down of
Stnator Joe Simon. Thoy know that
'.he has operated upon the Multnomah
Lfisnmty court to appoint a board of
afcetion judges and clerks who are
-presumed to manipulate things in the
ffcterest of Mr. Simon. If, now jthat
tiey know this to be true, they fail
tin come out to register and then go to
siite polls and vote against Mr. Sim
ajs's candidates for the conventions,
sSwy will have themselves to blame.
JisAUie people of the state are inter
:sned. Mr. Simon has been in past
;-srs the means of preventing proper
RKtJgnitJon of the Columbia river, se--saring,
as his political power made
peaalble, lack of action in improving
that waterway long years after such
luuurovenient should have been done.
(Oregon joints with the bettor element
M. Portland to insist on the defeat of
Ittr. Simon, whose touch in politics
!ias for twenty years been the touch
.of the corruptionist and the boodler.
THEIR PENSIONS.
it In asserted in a manner to war
iant belief, that Mrs. Benjamin Har
ibou, widow of the late president,
is angry with congress because she
lias not been granted a pension. Peo
ple are wondering why, in the name
xrf independence and pride, Mrs. Har
Tfcson ever permitted an application
2crr a pension to be made for her.
Sae received from her late husband
something like $100,000, or the major
Iportlon of that sum, and had some
:&onoy in her own name. No person
Trith $50,000 or more who has the
yroper sort of pride would consent
to accopt the charity of her country.
.And It would bo hut charity for her
io receive the pension from tho gov
arnment. Of a kind with this is tho
-proposition to pay Mrs. McKtnloy a
.-pension. Mrs. McKtnloy has a for
tttno more than amplo to meet her
simple needs during her lifetime, and
ilte has not children. She Is compel
3ed to lead a plain life, by reason of
ir doplorahlo sickness, from which
she cannot recover. It is a peculiar
kind of sentimentality that proposes
pensions for either Mrs. McKinley or
Mrs. Hnrrlson, for neither needs it,
and neither should consent to ask for
It.
M'BRIDE'S OFFER.
Governor McBride has announced
that employes of the state of Wash
iugton must not accept free passes
from the railways. He believes, and
so argued recently, that free passes
given to public sorvants arc a pro
lific source of corruption, and ho p-o-poses.
If posotble, to give "Washing
ton the bencta of freedom from their
Influence. He should be supported
by all citizens, and his views might
safely be lneoiporatel tn a law pro
hibiting state employes cr tifTicicls
from accep:i.i? them Oottriuir ,lc
Bride has talvjn hold ol the railroad
lobby issue bravely, and it may be
expected that he has Incurred the
the hostility of the railway corpora
tions. His courageous attitude de
serves loyal endorsement by the peo
ple of n stnte that has suffered much
from the domination of those repre
senting the companies owning and op
crating rail lines.
FOR CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
The Civic Improvement League of
Portland should be the means of in
ducing the formation of similar
leagues all over the state. One of the
benefits flowing from the Lowls and
Clark Centennial should be the arous
al of interest In matters of civic bet
terment. The coming of many thous
and visitors to see the fair should
serve as an incentive to making
our towns more beautiful and more
agreeable places in which to live.
Penleton needs a spirit of civic im
provement. It needs organized of
fort for the bringing of better streets
and better santitary conditions. It is
a work in which all men who engage
in it would have the active and intel
ligent co-operation of the ladies. It
would do as much for this place as
die bringing of a large industry. At
tractive homes keep the inmates, and
prevent them, from wandering away
to seek pleasure elsewhere. Attrac
tive cities will do the same for the
people living in them, and, also, will
attract people from other localities.
Pendleton can use a civic improve
ment league just now to excellent ad
vantage. TIME FOR ACTION, WRITE AT
ONCE.
A committee of the house of repre
sentatives has reported favorably a
resolution proposing a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people. It must, first, se
cure time for consideration; second,
it must pass the house by a two-thirds
vote; third, it must have sonsidora
tion in the senate, and, fourth, it must
pass the senate by a two-thirds vote.
It passed the house during the Fifty
second, Fifty-third and Fifty-sixth
congresses, the first two being demo
cratic, while the Fifty-sixth was re
publican. If it can be brought up for
consideration there is no question
that it will pass the house of repre
sentatives, again, notwithstanding the
fact that this congress is republican.
The sentiment In favor of the elec
tion of United States senators by
popular vote is overwhelming, repub
licans as well as democrats earnestly
desiring tho reform. Now is the time
for the voters to act. Lot every read
er of the Commoner address a postal
card to his member of congress urg
ing him to support the resolution and
insist upon its immediate considera
tion, A few words will be sufficient;
If several sign tho postal card so
much the better. The expense Is tri
val, but the result will be of inesti
mable value. Write at once; do not
delay. Lot your member of congress
know that you are watching htm and
that you rely upon him to represent
you in this Important matter.
a
"Dear Sir:
"I hope you will support and urge
the immediate consideration of tho
resolution proposing an amondment
to tho constitution providing for the
election of senators by direct vote of
the people. Your constituents here
are in favor of the change. If you
are against tho amendment please lot
mo know why."
If each reader of the Commoner
will send somo such communication
as tho above to his member of con
gress at once, action will bo hasten
ed. If you have another postal card
to spare write to Speaker Henderson
and ask him to sot an early day for
the consideration of this resolution.
Tho editors of the weekly papers
aro requested to call this matter to
tho attention of their readers either
by publishing this editorial or by pre
senting tho subject in tholr own lang
uage. Concerted action will win.
The readers of tho Commonor alone
might ho sufficient to haston consid
eration, but with tho readers of all
tho weekly papers writing to tholr
representatives in congress there can
bo no doubt of success. Now Is tho
time to act; sond tho postal card nt
once. Commoner.

A CURE FOR CANCER.
To Judge from the case of Lady
Margaret Marsham, sister of the pres
ent Earl of Ronuiey, a remedy hns
been found for cancer, not by scienti
fic research, but In nu old wife's cure.
Lady Margaret Marsham, who Is
sixty-seven years of age, was for four
months ill with an affection of the
throat, which doctors pronounced a
cancer. The diagnosis was support
ed by analysis by a London specialist,
the analysis elng made at the labpra
torles of the Clinical Research Asso
ciation. Lady Margaret became so
bad that her throat nearly closed up
nourishment had to be artificially ad
ministered, and her death was expect
ed In a week.
At this point a neighbor, the daugh
tor of an old friend, Lady Mary Ross,
recalled a story she had heard when
a child that cancer could be relieved
by an infusion made from violet
leaves. It was not expected thnt this
would cure, but only relieve the pain.
Lady Annie Marsham, sister of the
patient, obtained the receipt, and, as
a forlorn hope, decided to try it.
The receipt was exceedingly sim
ple, and ran as follows:
Take a Handful of fresh green vio
let leaves and pour n pint of boiling
water upon them, and let them stand
twelve hours, until the water is dis
colored and green. Then stralu off
the liquid, dip a piece of lint into the
infusion, of which a sufficient quanti
ty must be warmed. Put on the wet
lint hot wherever the malady Is. Cov
er the lint with oil silk or thin mack
intosh, and change it whenever dry
or cold. The infusion should be fresh
about every alternate day.
The effect was, In Lady Annie's
words " almost a mlrical." Relief
was immediately obtained. A large
hard external tumor disappeared in
a week. All the pain ceased, and thej
cancerous growth was row in a fti'-t-;
night. i
WHAT CAUSED THE DECLINE? !
When the bicycle trade began to
subside it was in the- year of the
last presidential election the repub
lican papers attributed it to the pop
ular fears of approaching Bryanism.
Bryanism didn't come, unfortunately
for the best interests of the country,
but the bicycle trade languished nev
ertheless. It Is now reported to have
declined so rapidly and to such a de
gree that whereas on the 1st of Jan
uary, lSOO, there were 2SS factories
in the 'United States, only (ill were
left a year afterward and only 24 on
the 1st of January. 1902. Were the
republican papers talking for politi
cal effect when they said that is what
would happen in the event of Bryan's
election? Or was it due to Brvan's
defeat? The Public.
