Is the organization to persist in fighting agaiust fate in the Philippines matter? Why cannot the democracy in the one state in the union holding an election this spring, Oregon, set an example to the other states, and de clare for a national program on the treatment of the insular possessions? It is traditional in the republican party that Oregon, otherwise inconse quential in the east, is nevertheless of importance because the republican national organization uses its early elections as an object lesson to show the course of events in politics. It is just now within the power of the Oregon democrats to assume a po sition of influence in the national convention, and that may be accomp lished by taking a proper position upon the Philippine question. It is useless to expect the American peo ple to relinquish the islands, hence why carry the dead body of an issue that is a corpse and canuot be reviv ified? Suppose the Oregon democracy proclaim to the world that it is the demand of this state that the policy of the federal government be not abandonment, but proper recognition of the rights of the islanders, the just alteration in tariff schedules, the carrying out of the promises to the Cubans, the pursuing, in short, of a policy such as is based upon consid eration of the wishes ol the people who appear to have been hound to us by the ties that are not severable, and yet have sacred rights. Suppose the Oregon democracy does this. Would it not have the same moral effect upon the east, in influencing national pronouncements, as the acts of the Oregon republicans have upon the trend of sentiment in that party throughout the country? This, with such a posiMon upon the trusts and tariff reduction as the present status suggests, will place the democracy in the vantage place, and create ':oai3 confidence that tuc cess may crown efforts in the 1S04 campaign. "WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY" When Commodore Perry won the signal victory on Lake Erie, Septem ber 10, 1813, over the British squad ron, lie telegraphed to Washington: "We have wet the enemy and they are OURS." When Commodore Schley won the signal victory off Santiago, July 3; 1898, over the Spanish squadron, Ilear-Admlral Sampson telegraphed to Washington: "I present to the American people a Fourth of July gift Cervera's fleet." Mark the difference, a difference wide, indeed. Perry was tho one man who nijdo the Lak) ISrio vh'tmy possible. Ho virtually constructed a fleet of vessels, and, under difficul ties that would appall any but great naval geniuses, defeated the power of Great Britain on tho lake, and, with one later victory, enabled Gonoral Harrison to Invado Canada. Yet ho generously accorded to others credit for an achievement that was In a peculiar manner his very own, for It was only by Indomitable will, gal- lant courage, marvelous engineering ability, utter disregard for all techni cal rules of sea fighting that ho won that victory for American arms. Sampson was only technically In command at Santiago, lud was not in the battle. He was absent, and, even though ho be rignt. in his conten tion, that he was within signalling distance, ho was only a npmlnal fac tor in the fight. Yet, In telegraph ing the news to the capital, Instead of using language like that of the gal lant and generous Perry, he writes In the first person, and thus makes an issue that is not a "closed Incident," so far as the American people are concerned. It will never be a clos ed incident until justice has been done, and not the sort of justice that President Roosevelt deals out in his recent ruling. However, Mr. Roosevelt may have desired to act justly, he was too tech nical, too careful to avoid hurting the feelings of the naval coterie that has persecuted Schley and Dewey, and that, by its army wing, has persecuted General Miles. The ruling is not such as to cause admiration to mount for the man of strenuous life and heretofore outspoken utterances. Is the Politician Roosevelt spoiling the once generous Teddy? OCCASIONAL CHECKING UP. The 1902 campaign appears to be on in earnest, and expressions upon some phase of the coming election are found in every exchange coming to this paper. Of course, this is as it should be, yet it might be wise once in a while to check up and see to It that fairness and justice be not entirely forgotten In the fierce ness of the coming fight. No good can be accomplished by unjust accu sations, and much harm is done to the unjust accuser. Lies do not in jure anyone except the liar. Slan der damages no good man but does damage the slanderer. Thr-ivs are is sues large enough, facts important enough, and reasons potent enough to furnish ammunition for the pjli tical gunners without resorting to misrepresentation. It is not neces sary in order to valiant aggression or defense in politics to utilize un truth and self-hurting sayings of him who lies. THE CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR. The demand for alcoholic liquors In their various forms is based largely on physicological conditions. A poor ly fed and poorly lodged population will spend more money on drink than a population well fed, well clothed and well lodged. It is well known in all countries that poor and meager food and fetid air creates an appetite for drink; and as drink deepens pov erty, each condition tends to aggrova- tion ot tne other. Of the four great nations of the civilized world, our own is the one which, as might be expected from the forgoing circumstance, consumes the least amount of alcoholic liquor, in proportion to its population. The British board of trade, in a report compiled recently, states the amount of spirits annually consumed in the four countries, as follows (In gallons: Per Total. head. U. K. (1900) 45,890,000 1.12 France (1900) .... 78,452,000 2.02 Germany (1900 ...107,100,000 1.94 U. S. (1899) 81,000,000 1.06 The United States shows the least consumption of spirits of any. France consumes nearly twice as much, per head, and somewhat more than Ger many, the next highest. In beer the report of consumption is as follows (in gallons.) Per Total. head. U. K. (100) 1,298,X5G,000 31.7 France (1900) ... 238,194,000 C.2 Germany (1899) .1,527,878,000 27.5 U. S. (1899) 934,210,000 13.3 It Is known, of course, that Franco consumes little beer and much wine, ant. tho United States and Germany comparatively little wine and much beer. But is a surprise to find tho consumption of beer much greater, per capita, In the United Kingdom than in Germany. Following axe the figures as to the annual consumption of wine In tho four countries: Per Total. head. U. K ,.. 15,810,800 0.39 France 983,158,000 25.40 Germany . .i 81,834,000 1.45 U. S 25.34G.000 0.33 Taking ull sorts of liquors togothor Including spirits, wine and beer, tho consumption In each of the countries per annum, Is stated thus (in gal lons: Per Total. head. Great Britain ..1,360,402,800 32.21 Franco 1,299,804,000 33.02 Germany .1,716,812,000 30.79 United States ..1,040.556,000 14.69 Thus It appears that In comparison with other countries consumption of liquors In the United States Is mod orate being less than one-half of that in other countries named. But the physiological law mentioned at the beginning of this statement may be expected to cause Increase of con sumption of liquors in the United States, as population becomes more dense and commences to press harder on the means of sustenance. As our urban population grows, and conges tion of the inhabitants increases, there Is no reason to suppose there will not be tan Increased consunip tion of liquors. In most of our great cities It doubtless already has nearly reached the proportions that exist In Europe. It Is the open air of the country, and the Inlluonco of agricul turists and villago society that con duce to nbstenance from alcoholic drink. Oregonian. ADMISSION TO LAW SCHOOLS. During the last three or four years at meetings of the bar associations and legal educators throughout the country, the question; what amount of preliminary training should a stu dent have before entering upon .the study of law? has given jisc to much discussion. Probably more than 75 per cent of those admitted to the bar at present are graduates of law schools or men who have studied for some time at a law school. The stan dard of preliminary examination be fore county and state boards through out the country Is In most cases con siderably lower than that required for graduation from the average high school, and in many localities it amounts to little more than a gram mar school examination. In some law schools of the United States, of which there are now over one hun dred, the requirements for admission vary from a common school education to a college degree. Each year this subject gives rise to numerous articles, papers, and dis cussions as to what standard would be the most fair for all desiring to enter one of tho large schools. No satisfactory solution to the 'problem has yet been reached, and the differ ences of poinion are perhaps greater now than ever. Some advocate the reguiring of college degrees, many think the training necessary to pass the average college entrance exam ination sufficient, while others would have each applicant take a special course of a few years in college, and still others think a common school ed ucation is sufficient. THE MARCH OVERLAND. The March issue of the Overland Monthly opens with a rousing story ot Central America by John Fleming Wilson. "In the American Style" is its title, aud it tolls, without maudlin sentimentality, but with magnetic realism, ot a heroic example of a Yankee spirit of fairness. Mr. Wil- son's work is gaining recognition, antl "in the American Style" will be broadly read. The story is beautiful ly illustrated. "Jim and Kittick. A T,lfo Skotoh from Nome Beach," a touching bit or iisinmo color from the non of nn Alaskan writer who has studied the intimate life of the natives in the March Overland Monthly. "Avila; An Idyl of Southern Califor nia," is a lyric by Tracy and Lucy Robinson that smells of the sea and the hills, and is beautifully embel lished by the miniatures that accom pany It. Two notable articles begun In tho February Overland Monthly, namely; "The Life and Death of Chouicha, a Sacramento River Salmon," by Cloudsley Rutter, and "Recent Out door Literature," by Professor Charles Howard Shinn, are concluded in the March issue. In Mr. Rutter's paper tho interest Is kept up to the end, and Professor Shinn's nature articles are accompanied by the best pictures that have appeared on out door subjects. Representative Jones introduced a bill granting 50,000 acres of land to Washington for tho benefit of the State Soldiers' Home.

This rapid flow of the blood through the system prevents the entranceof diseasegenns and imparities of every description. It Altera out all that is not necessary or good for the growth and development of the body and nourish, intr and strengthening the muscles, tissues, nerves and bones. But, unfortunately, few persons can rightly claim an absolutely pure blood supply and perfect and unpolluted circulation, and in consequence are exposed to innumerable diseases. Contagious Blood Poison, the greatest enemy to mankind, enters the system through the blood, and Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Tetter in fact the majority of human ailments are caused by poisons or humors that are engen- trgB S 41m dered and fostered in a sluggish 71 BlOOU 19 fflf SOUIHSB and impoverished blood.

Sallow complexions and rough, oily skins evidence some constitutional or blood trouble, which salves, lotions, powdcra nor any external treatment can cure. Diseases that originate in the blood, whether they manifest themselves as ulcers, tumors, itching eruptions, muscular or bone pains, require a tonic and blood purifier such as S. S. S., which not only antidotes and neutralizes blood poisons and humors, but possesses health-giving tonic proper ties that no other blood medicine does. It goes down to the very foundation of the disease and eliminates from the system every PnBSiS$!gf BSotSd thing of a poisonous character or that obstructs and clogs the circulation. It builds up und imports i&Pe3fSts SSiSBSSO strength and vitality to the old innutritious hlood, aud when the arteries and veins are once more filled with new rich blood, the general health begins to improve, muscles grow stronger, and sores and eruptions of every kind disappear. S. S. S. is the only guaranteed purely vegetable blood purifier, and the purest and most reliable in all blood diseases. It has been tested in thousands of cases during the past fifty years and is more popular today than ever.
