Joe Simon has wired Governor Geer to keep his "thumbs up." They are up at last accounts. Marshal Heathman Is aguiu plain Missouri John, but his star is not yet set although it has been laid aside. The office is seldom found seeking the man, but this year, as usual, there aro plenty of men seeking the office. The latest count shows there are more than .11.000 bills before con gress. Congress is a bill "fiend" and a bill nuisance of the worst order. The Pendleton city government is once more free to look after the in terests of Pendleton. No time should be lost iu making a good be ginning. Malcolm Moody has a lien on the seat in congress which he occupied for a year or more without a murmur However, Oregon has one Tounge in congress. A Kansas man 'prophesies that the dead will rise in 1915. He is the sain man who predicted that w'ieat would go to a dollar a bushel in 1900. A prophet is never to be depended upon, even when he says he is going to pay a bill he owes for washing. It is said in spite of Japan's rapid advancement there is not a single millionaire in the whole kingdom. Lucky Japan! But, she will have her Russell Sages and John Rocke fellers in ample time. Two or three repacious millionaires of the right stripe would swallow1 litte Japan at one gulp. The rebellion is said to have brok en out again in China. Now, that Miss Stone has .been redeemed or res cued, it was to be expected that something had to occur to keep the newsgathorers from becoming indo lent. A Chinese rebellion offers great opportunity for any kind of story telling for which one is best fit ted. The country press can do great work for Oregon by insisting upon the election of H. V. Scott for Unit ed States senator. He is the one man in the state best fitted fc- the office, but lie will not "seek the office" and that is not popular with the average legislature in this day and generation and it is because of this attitude that the demand, has sprung up for the election of senator by a direct vote of the people. A Swedish scientist claims that he has invented an apparatus by which milk can be brought into the form of powder, like flour in appearance, and having all tho qualities of milk in concentrated form except the mois ture. And more than all It will be cheaper than milk and perfectly pure. If all this proves true, the milk man of the future will have to depend more and more upon the town pump and less and less upon tho cow. The Athena flouring mills failure smells of a Job and a big profit for those concerned for less than a year's work. Fully $20,000 is unac counted for and yet tho manager comes in with a claim for back sal ary. His nerve entitles him- to a high position in some combine. Ho Js not without capacity to conduct a stock Jobbing business in Wall street, where talent of this kind. Is appelat ed and where such virtue is not con sldered its own reward. We have not heard that Prince Hen ry is "blowln" " his money in making his tour of Undo Sam's domnln. If Roosevelt should return the visit ho would doubtless turn tho Gorman Empire into a Dutch republic, as we all know Roosevelt Is a strenuous liver. The president would cut quite a dash on a return tour of Germany with Emperor Dill as a chaperonc. He would head a great show and it would play to crowded houses." Since nations aro inclined to go into the eli cits business it is wel Ho have a presi dent who could shine ns a ringmaster. DEYANKEEIZING OF A STATE. The vital statistics of Massachu setts, recently published in an offi cial report, are causing considerable surprise and much discussion by the newspapers of that state. From statements printed in those papers it appear that during the year 1900, 73,386 babies were born in Massachu setts. Of this number 37,772 were boys, 35, CM girls; 23,000 of native and 36,062 of foreign parentage The population of the state in that year was 2,805,34o, of whfch number 1,959,022 were native born and 810,- 324 foreign born. On this basis the Boston Herald figures that while na tive born outnumber the foreign born by more than two to one, the number of births among the foreign born exceeds those among the native born in about the same proportion. The same paper states that in 1900 there were 24.342 marriages, 10.9G5 among the native and 8.S07 among the foreign born, but as the result of Ihose marriages there wore 2.1 child ren of native and 1.4 children of for eign parentage. The rapid disappearance of the old American stock has long been ob served in Boston, but from these sta tistics it would seem that the same process is going on in the state at large. It is not unlikely it is going on all over New England, and that the old Yankee type is rapidly becom ing a mere matter of tradition. The Boston Transcript, comment ing upon the figures in the report, dwells in a melancholy way upon "the relative disappearance of the old American stock." It is disappearing in two ways. The large families among Americans which was the rule a century, or even half a century ago, are no longer known. The na tive New Englanders are little con cerned about the scriptural injunction while the foreign born obey It to the letter and increase and multiply at a prolific rate in Massachusetts, as they do everywhere else. Ben Butler recognized this many years ago, when he predicted that the day was not far distant when Massachusetts would be a democratic state by the rapidly increasing foreign birth rate. Another cause for the disappear ance of the typical New Englanders is their inability to get a living among the rocks and on the ungracious soil of that section and their migrations to the west, where nature is kinder to the husbandman, while the great factories of New England are filled by employes imported from all parts of Great Britain and Europe. A SPASM OF HYPOCRISY. Oregon politics seems nay, is passing through a period of super abundant hypocrisy. There seems - nay, is very little earnestness and honesty in the pre-convention discus sion of men and matters. All the talk about republicans, pro and con, about abuses in the pub'ic land business, Is not aimei so much at retormation as at some injury to this faction or that candidate. The Journal has for years charged fiauds in the federal and state laud depart ments they still exist. The discussion of the governorship is not based on whether Geer has made a fairly good or a les3 than av erage executive. It is in the interest of factions who want tho place so as to reward friends. Tho fight over the senatorshlp is not honest nor aimed at any abuse in the federal service. All the abuses of federal appointments are now glossed over and the state press was full of them for years, and oven insulted Mc- Klnley pjrsmullv on nfMiiui of the character of some of them. Some of tho papers that talk the looudest about bosslsm and corruption are themselvjd participants iu boodle on a large scale. Pure politics at tho hands of any faction fighting for spols is a myth, and that Is all the factions aro fight ing for. Not one of their leaders Is sincere In wanting bettor govern ment. They want office. Tho people who want good govern ment should not be deceived by a zeal for reform that is only a cloak for political rapacity. If the people get a better state administration it will come from other sources than spasmodic hypocrisy based on hunger for place. If we get a better state government it will be by the taxpayers and pa triotic citizens who Jovo good govern ment for Its own satisfactory return, holding a club ovor all these politi cians clamoring for spoils. Don't fall In with their factions. Don't promise your votes until you can see some progress made besides hatred for ono aspirant for another. Haiem Journal.

Wonder if they tasted any better than those wo will get a few months hence for 25 cents per basket? Census figures show that the in crease in manufactures during the past decade has caused t'io factorio, to grow by half. More specifloolly. there has been a 44 per cent increase in the number of establishments, and 51 per cent increase in the amount of capital invested. One of the pension department offi cials says that within ten years the expenditures for pensions will do crease 50 per cent. The pension appropiatton this year is $135,000,000. or $3,000,000 less than it was last year, and It Is believed to be the be ginning of the decline. In 1898, the fire losses of the United States were $119,650,000, in 1899 they were $163,362,000 and in 1901 thev were $165,000,000, while this year started out with a loss of $15,000,000 for the first month.

It is popularly supposed that maternity is the foe ""Jjx of beauty, and the if worn and faded face ' ui muuy a iiiuuicr seems to warrant the belief. But it is hard to believe that nature should compel a woman to sacri fice the rightful dower of her beauty in order to carry out a natural function of her being. And nature does not. The pains and sufferings incident to motherhood are, to a large ex tent, unuatural. This is proved by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, which prevents and cures nausea, tranquilizes the nerves, encour ages the appetite, induces refreshing sleep, and makes the baby's advent prac tically painless. Mrs. Orrin Stiles, of DownluavIXmn Co., Wis., writes : I have been intending to write to you ever since my baby was born ii retard to what your ' Favorite Prescription ' lias doue for me. 1 cannot praise it enough, for I have not been as well for five years as I am now. In July last I had a baby boy, weight n lbs., and I was only sick a short time, and since I got up have not had one side day. I have not had any uterine trouble since I got up. I was not only surprised myself but all my friends here are surprised to see me so well." "Favorite Prescription" has the testi mony of thousands of women to its com plete cure of womanly diseases.
