BROCK & McCOMAS CO. DRUGGISTS TUESDAY, FEUKUAItY 10, 1903. Something less than a dozen years ago I began to think. The more I thought the better I liked It. Gradually It dawned upon me that our Koclnl system is very Incomplete. In theory, we bellovo iu equality; but In a thousand ways we prac tise the dreariest kind of aristoc racy. "Oolden Rule" Jones, of Toledo. JIM HILL BLAMES LABOR. "As the labor unions killed industri al England, so will they bring grave financial reverses here. The country is fastly approaching that crisis. It may come in a year." This is the thrust that the most strong-limbed, vigorous youth of the conscienceless canltnllst nf Hip llind- T"e occupation of war offers thousands of them wanted and want ed badly. An occupation awaits them. A training that will make them athletes and marvels of manhood, is In store for them. Strong lungs, keen eye sight, deep chests and splendid en- ' durance must be possessed. They must be robust, vigorous spec imens. No weaklings need apply. These find no place In the wondrous rank that Is In need of men. What trade Is this that winnows out the cream of our youtn? What occu pation is It that demands such rug ged bodies and perceptive minds? Is It an industry that blesses man kind? Is it a vocation that adds to the sum of happiness and enlighten ment? No, shame to say, it is war. The navy department of the Unit ed States needs one thousand re cruits. It will take nothing hut the sago of the state portage bill. The legislature cannot afford to turn a deaf eai to such an appeal, added to the voice of the people of Eastern Or egon. Brick blocks talk.

A believer in the union of capital, he denies the worklngman a like priv-l Hege. A manipulator of the most ar bitrary trust that seeks to throttle the freedom of traffic and the open no place, for the undersized or the weak minded. Nothing but physical giants are wanted. Everyone who feels a conscious pride in the nation's prowess, is se cietly. If not openly, an avowed en thusiast on the army and navy rec- In hopes that some prejudiced members of society will believe what he says, he places the blame for the impending crisis upon the working men, instead of placing it where it rightfully belongs; upon the shoulders of those human vampires who are forcing small capitalists out of busi ness, cornering the supply of the necessaries of life, the means of transportation and the money of the world in preparation for a crash. James J. Hill is no fool. He knows that tilt trusts and their baneful in fluence in the business circles of the country are hurrying a panic, and he is artful enough, dishonest enough in expressing an opinion to charge tho inexorable crash upon innocent men, in hopes that he may direct the peo ple's wrath away from the real cul--prlts(. It has only been a month fcince Hill made a statement that overproduc tion of manufactures would cause the panic. With him, the panic Is a settled fact; But he shifts 'from one cause to another. He finds public sentiment so bit terly ar-nyed against the combines of which h is chief, that he fears to aggravate the masses further, by al lusions to capitalistic cussedness, so he turns his blighting venom upon la bor, thinking to divert attention from the real source of wrong. The gieat combines are making their last stand. Tho active senti ment of all classes of people Is against them. Hill's empty accusation does not bliil a single person to tho truth. If a panic comes, It will be through the machinations of the trusts. It will be Invited by the organic rotten ness of the law that permits them to gather the utilities of the nation into pools, for private gain. As the titled lords and privileged few of England exploited her price less Industries and resources and brought ruination upon the most en ergetic people in Europe, so will the privileged few or this country, who are Intrenched behind evil laws, re duce It to England's level. Capital, and not labor, holds tho key to panics. WAR AS AN OCCUPATION. Young men are wanted strong, lusty, healthful, vigorous, Intelligent boys, from 18 to 25, hundreds of them, channels of trade, he lays the sins of : ortis of the country. In a competitive, his own spawn at the door of labor. . mercenary age. war is the only agency that will balance national accounts, and hold nations in equilibrium. The rustom of fighting, instead of reason ing Is so old that people are slow to surrender It. Guns are more emphatic arbitrators than minds. Slaughter Is a more con' vinclng seal to set upon the final set tlement of an International .issue than plain, inviolable word of honor. Does not the emptiness and utter void of the life and .occupation of the soldier appeal to the thoughtful man, wlio sends his son to Join the ranks! What good result, what blessing, what hope can come of the occupation of destroying your fellow man? War calls for the flower of youth. It plucks the most promising buds from the homes of the land their very existence is blotted out, their life becomes a blank, the activity that might have blessed the race is turn ed, as a destroyer, upon it. The keen mental power that might have directed worthy pursuits, Is whetted In vthe school that teaches how to kill in the most appalling man ner. , The force that might have worked Intellectual marvels In peace. Is wast ed In the worse than, useless vocation of warfare. When will the people turn from tho glamor of carnage to the pursuit of equity and reason. Why wa,ste the youth of the land in the degenerating slothfulness of barracks and navy yards, when the useful occupations are so badly In need of recruits? How long will the bold warrior, Theodore Roosevelt, permit the Ger man government to heap insults on the Venezuelan government and Min ister Bowon? One - word Jrom the proper autlorlty would clear up tho tangled South American muddle. If the United States 'will point a sword at the bulldozing emperor of Ger many, and say "Go" the play will be ended. It would be "a horse" on La Grando If Allcel, a wheat warehouse In the center of Grand Itonde valley, should haul off tho county seat of Union county, after Ia Grande has placed wheels under It. In less than two hours Saturday, 90 of the strongest financial Institu tions of Portland signed a memorial to tho legislature, asking for the pas- Combatting the abstract principles of socialism, the people are continu ally accepting It In the concrete. All of us refuse to subscribe to the doc trines of the socialistic cult, yet w lot only ccntent to. but demand tlu passage of laws that are essentially of the socinllstlc sort. Here In Oregon we have the lntla tive and referendum, distinctively so cialistic Wc have the tax upon cor porations, another socialistic Idea. We hnvo the tax on Inheritances, which Is another of the doctrines of the same school of social phlosophers. And still other bills now in commit tee will become laws, bills that are of the very essence of socialism. After all, socialism sometimes ap pears to be forced upon us by the be wildering complexities of modern so cial development. Imagine n return to the numerous railroads operated independently. What confusion of traffic. And, while we fight Oie rail cad trust merger, ber-ause renllzi that the halfway adoption of fi'HalHm I. wrong, yt we concede that the rail icad merger Is the inevitable out growth of our social life. Wp uso ll.c phrase "th hnlfwny ailrvilon of socialism." meaning that the railroad merger Is the only instrument of so cialism wielded by private authority. and not by the whole people. And halfway socialism is vicious. To merge the roads and leave them In private ownership is to endanger the liberties of the people and create a power approximating that of the gov ernment. So that, If we accept the railroad merger as inevitable, wo are. ergo, compelled to admit thai social ism must also be accepted. This Is distasteful in the extreme. Yet, who can argue to the contrary? Who does not know that to permit the logical outcome of rail mergers, which means the merging of all roads in the coun try,, is to set up a system that pos sesses power almost as great as that of the very government at Washing ton? We who have refused socialism ac ceptance, lit toto, seem to be accept ing It piecemeal, and the prospect ap pears to be that eventually the en tire system will have been taken as a Fubstitute for the older, the orthodox system of government. One by one the various phases of socialism oreep into our state and na tional governments, and ,110 one ap pears to have discovered just where we are to draw the line. Oregon Dally Journal. AN OLD FRIEND IN NEW DRESS. Tell me not In rotten ragtime, Things are always what they seom, For there's little modern butter That Is renlly made from cream. Nothing's real now, you believe me, Toothache Is but bare belief; If you think you've got the toothache Think you haven't and get relief. Breakfast foods are built or sawdust, Left In hunks or choped up flno, And a man oft orders bcefstake And on horse meat's rorced to dine. Lives of grent men all remind us, If we want to be thought wise, We must make some brand of pickles Then pitch in and ndvertlse. Let us then be up and doing. There are many to be done, And If we don't tlo others, Thev with us will have the fun. Chicago Chronicle. RESULTS OF DEMOCRACY. "Tlir. niwasi' nf the follow SCrvnilt.

At the 1-ead of the commission Is Fiof. Young, of the statf university, who is probably the most able ex ronent of the historical aspects of the fair obtainable. Another member whose selection is especially com mended Is Judge Stephen A. Lowell. Southeastern Oregon is an ardent supporter of the rair, and will con tribute the widest variety of products o-" any section of tho state. In case Governor Chamberlain finds it necessary to increase the com mission, if Judge Clifford could be se' cured tie wbuld add strength to the commission nnii be a great help to the Interior counties.

When the wall is out of plumb the building is more or less unsafe, and the higher the wall is carried out of the per- jetidicular the greater the danger of col apse. It's about so with the health; it is out of plumb when the digestion is impaired, wnen there is a dull, sluggish feeling, with nervousness, irritability a 11 d sleeplessness. Every day that these symptoms are neglected in creases the liabil-1 ity to physical collapse.
