BROCK & McCOMAS CO. DRUGGISTS gulshed from leaders anil preachers and prophets. Politics resemble war In tho respect that the men who can preach a crnsailo with tremendous power can't always do tho fighting. Certain men aro tho Wendell Phllllpscs and Horace Greeleys, who preach and lead, and certain other men aro the Orants and Shermans, who crush the enemy. In war strict Inquiry is not made into the moral character of the gen erals and admirals. Were mllltnry command based on moral perfection some of the greatest victories in his tory would have been the other way. Knglaud would not have dispensed with the services of Marlborough be cause ho was rapacious nor dismissed Nelson because he was Immoral, And so political parties cling to their generals in spite of their bad repute that is. until they are licked Denver Post. CATARRH THIRTY YEARS, Tho Remarkable Experience of a Prominent Statesman Congress man Meekison Gives Pe-ru-na a Hiflh Endorsement! THE SMITH FAMILY. SATURDAY.

Carrie Blake Morgan. "ME, OR NOBODY." During the progress of tho ballot for United States senator, last night. the telegraphic dispatches announced that C. W. Fulton had said: "Unless I am elected there will be a deadlock.' This despotic Idea, whether express ed by C. W. Fulton or a candidal for constable in a cross-roads hamlet represents the same "rule or ruin policy. It sets aside the will of the people, the common Interests of the country the fair rules of war, that give jvery man a chance for his life, and all tho worthy aim of true statesman ship. It places self as the sole object of all government. It makes one man's will arbitrary master of the many. C. W. Fulton is probably as able a candidate as there was in the race for senator. He is perhaps as worthy of the place as any other member of his party. But he did not make any friends for himself nor his party by saying that he was willing for the people of the state of Oregon to be deprived of the benefit of a senator for two years in order to satisfy his personal ambi tion. .He exhibited a despotic inclination that will be a boomerang to the forces that he summoned to his aid. The people have rights which are entitled to respect, oven in politics. They aro not wholly without power of retaliation. The boast that It will ho "me, or nobody," Is a dangerous thought to express In a free govern ment. This Is the weakest point ever ex- hlblted by Mr. Fulton, at any time in his long public service in Oregon. There is a train of attendant evils connected with that Idea In politics, that threaten party organization, and even good government Itself. If a man starts In to win on that principle, he uses undue and unjust means from the very beginning. Ho lays a foundation In corruption and completes his edifice with an ntter disregard for the public weal. Self reigns supreme In every' stage of the campaign founded on that proposition. The people aro not reck oned. Their Interests aro secondary considerations. Is It a safe platform to stand upon? Will Oregon be bene fited by it? IMPROVE THE RECORD. Pendleton escaped the pruning knlfo of the charter revisionists by a nar row margin. It now remains for tho peoplo and the council to so strictly enforce tho laws and ordinances of tho city, that the test of tho present system will be conclusive by the time another legislative session arrlvos. Tho recorJ for municipal order and morality during tho noxt two years will bo watched with Interest, for upon that record will hang tho fato of tho present charters. Tho legislature declined to interfere in tho affairs of tho city, oven In tho face of a strong petition of represen tative citizens. Tho wishes of tho city council were recognized in the matter and the faith of the legislature In the representatives of the council and those who opposed n change, must not be disappointed. It Is in tho power of the council to see that laws are enforced; to make the conditions better, if possible, and to prove the wisdom of the mthods now in force. If the proper showing is made, the people will not ask for a change two years hence. In noting the roll calls in the Or egon senate one gets convinced that the Smiths are good campaigners, three of that Illustrious and widely disseminated family having broken Into tho Illustrious body Smith, of Multnomah, Smith of Umatilla, and Smith, joint for Lincoln. Tillamook and Yamhill. It is an old story that a man rush ed into church during services ani excitedly exclaimed, "Smith's hoao is on Are." Five men rose to the feet, when tho messenger sou?'it to end the suspense by making thy an nouncement more particular, "John Smith." Thre of them sat down. Kurene Cuanl.

EXAGGERATED NEWS. BETTER FINISH NEEDED. It seems to be the mission and aim of a certain class of newspapers to exaggerate bad news and color tamo facts until they border on the sensa tional. The reports from the Idaho and Wyoming sheep ranges during tho blizzard of one week ago. would Indi cate that the sheep of those districts were almost entirely wiped from tho face of the earth. The accounts of the losses were so startling that people who believed there was any truth in thein, began to wonder what the misfortune meant to Idaho. The first accounts of the storm de clared that the ranges were swept clean; that the industry was ruined and that Idaho had suffered an irrep arable loss. Investigation proves that feed is plentiful, stock is In good condition and that tho losses were confined to very few isolated localities. j The same "yellow" telegraphic news service points a horrible condition on the stock ranges of Grant county. From the reports sent to Portland papers by "sensation hunters" from the interior districts, it would seem to outside readers, not acquainted with the facts, that open riot threat ened the communlcles. bloodshed was inevitable, and armed resistance to imaginary foes was being made by the peacaole citizens of Grant county. This criminal news making should be dealt a deserved knock-out blow by the Indignant and wronged residents of tho range districts of Oregon. It Is a false representation of con ditions on Oregon stock ranges. It Is an untrue portrayal of the citizen ship of those districts and Is an unjust insinuation against tho good order and high moral tone that predomin ates in every settlement In the West. Homeseekers reading these frantic news efforts will wonder what sort of civilization exists In Oregon. They will hesitate to Inspect tho opportu ities of a region surrounded by such perilous conditions. In the name of decency, In the In terest of tho state and for the protec Hon of tho people, too often maligned, tell the truth. The manufacture of hurtful news should be classed with outlawry. Examination of the livestock situ atlou in the Pacific Northwest brings two fact3 into prominent light, says the Southern Oregonian, of Medtord. Producers of beef and pork animals should put a better finish on them, both for their own profit and for tho leputc of tho business. On tho other hand, buyers should recognize the su perior finish with a superior price. When the market lets tho finished animals go begging, there is small en couragement to the producer. Buyer and producer must work together to build up the meat industry. Neither should bear the whole burden. THE NEWSPAPER MAN. He seldom is handsome or natty, And none of tho charms of the dude, Is oft more abstracted than chatty. And sometimes unbearably rude He courts us, then slights us and grieves us As much as, he possibly can; He kisses us, loves us and leaves us- This perfidious newspaper man. Our mothers won't have him com"? calling, He's no earthly good as a "catch." His morals (they say) are appalling His finances, usually match. He's rollicking, reckless, uncaring. Lives but for the hour, the day; He's dangerous, dubious, daring Not lit for a husband, they s?y. But, somehow, wo girls are forgiving, Perhaps he but needs us the more, Because he goes wrong In the living, And knows the old world to Its core. So we pass up the dude and tho schemer Who lead in society's van, And cherish the thinker and dreamer Enshrined in the newspaper man. Marie M. Remstreet, in Blue Pencil Magazine.
