DRUGGISTS WEDNESDAY, APIUI, 1C, 1803. If I were asked to point to that act of Jefferson's life which sin gled htm out In preference to all of his countrymen as the man of pre-eminent wisdom and almost divine foresight as to the future, westward flight of the star of empire and the needs of the country for a strong foothold upon the Pacific, I would call I attention to the Lewis and j Clark xpedltion, the territory which by It was added to an at- ' ready vast domain, and the com- ' merclal supremacy which that j acquisition has given the United States with the Orient. Gover nor Oeorge E iChamborlaln. I THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. A. E. Reames, the democratic noni Inee for congress In the first congres sional district, was horn In Jackson vllle, Ore., In 18C2. He came from Southern stock, his father, Thomas G. Reames, having come to Oregon from Kentucky in the pioneer days of 1853 nnd his mother is a native of Mis souri. Evan Reames received his primary education in tho public schools of Jacksonville, and then attended the University of the Pacific at San Jose, Cal. Later he was a student In the University of Oregon. Before com pleting his course at Oregon's load ing educational institution, Mr. Reames went to Lexington, Va., and entered the law department of Wash ington and Lee University. While there Reames won tho debaters' med al. He graduated from the law de partment of the Virginia Institution in 1890. and immediately returned to Jacksonville for the practice of his profession. However, .Mr. Reames re mained In Jacksonville hut a short time when he formed a partnership with E. H. Skipworth. of Eugene. Tills lasted until 1893, when Reames moved to Portland and associated hlmseir with C. M. Idleman In the practice of law. In 1890 Reames re turned to Jacksonville, where for a time he practiced law in partnership with William .M. Colvlg, which part uersuJp was dissolved a short time ago. A, E. Reames married .Miss Editli Tongue in 1895. They have no child ren. Mr. Reames was for three years president of the Oregon Natives Sons Cabin at Jacksonville, and for one year held the ofllce of grand president of tho Native Sons of Oregon. Ho Is a Shriner In the Masonic order and belongs to the Red Men and B. P. O. 13. HOBSON AND THE TRUSTS. Richmond I. Hohson. retired naval constructor, is now touring tho coun try In a frantic effort to arouse en thusiasm for a gigantic navy. Hobson's extravagant' views ere hardly worth consideration, from n peace-laving people. He Is an ex treraest of tho most pronounced type. Ho would wring from the common people the last cent "f tribute to cre ate a navy that would bo out of date in a year after Its construction, on account of .tho rapid progress of In vention. Ho would purpetunte nnd invito wnr by the presence of a groat Idle army of marines supported by the people. Ho would grind down tho common people by using the money gathered in taxes ,in preporing for imaginary wars, Instead of placing more of tho common conveniences of life at their disposal. Instead of recommending the erection of a fedora! building In iwery humlet of the United 8tates for the use of the people, he would take their substance nnd build warships and create places of rank for arlsto crntlc idlers. Hohson is Just a plain advertising agent for the steel trust. Ho is try. Ing to create sentiment In favor of a Btrong navy, so tho next congress can exploit tho people by letting con tracts for a few more wnr ships. Ho Is making a market for armor plate, Ho is advocating a largo navy from a patriotic standpoint, when under ncath ills specious arguments, are hidden the cold creed of the despollor of peace. The plan of Mr. Hohson is tilts: Appropriate $40,000,000 tho first year for warships, and then for 12 years Increase this original appropriation by $10,000,000 annually, in naval ap proprlntions. In fact, It would mean to convert the nation Into a bee hive of "Industry." But whnt sort of "In dustry" is this which studies nnd per fects the arts of murder? Does not Mr. Hobsou know that a nation's defenses do not all lie In the frowning forts and nrmored gun boats that line the coasts! Does he forgot that the money spent In build lng tho engines of peace schools, mall routes. Irrigation sites, railroads and public buildings Is better pro tection to the free institutions of tho country, than tiiat spent in tho frail paraphernalia of war? It would have been bettor for the country 'If some man with less ora torical ability had sunk the Merrimac. A burglars' union has been discov ered by tho German police. The Eastern Oregon sheepmen who are paying their salt bids now, say It is not necessary to go to Germany to find such nn organization. It is call ed a trust, in English. When a man builds a now fence around his p'operty. or puln'j his house, he tuxes hlnisi'K. Yet how many progressive citizens will hesi tate to Incur such tax. The city and school district should show tho same splendid spirit. It is safe to say tiiat the Yellow stone Park never opened its gates to a more thorough sportsman nor bet ter shot than tho man now tramping the snowy paths there. TIall of Roos evelt's ability lies In ills enthusiasm. George C. Brownell is called the 'enigma statesman" by the Oregon!- nn. There is no enigma about him ills trickery Is all perfectly comprehensible. Walla Walla is preparing to build another largo sclioolhouse to meet the growing population. The building will coat $50,000. Tlie mergers aro all on the run. May tho people keep them moving until they have all merged with oblivion. IN HIS OWN COUNTRY. Tho West, which Is President Roosovelt's "own country," is welcom ing him with a hospitality which oven ho finds too strenuous. This thing of "delivering judgment nil day long on nil things great and small," up to midnight, delights tho Westerners, but Is proving too much for tho hardy president, and ho has bad to make It a rule to turn off tho oratory and the lights at 10 p. m. But thero Is a simple heartiness about his greeting in the Dakotas which must please him mightily. So must that little mistake which the committee made yesterday about his church affiliations, compelling him to attend public worship twlco in ono Sunday, nnd to listen to one sermon in tho German language. Tlioy nro not, in tho Black Hills, nice in their distlnctinns between Dutch Reformed and German Lutheran; and when their congressman spoko of tho president's singular fondness for dlvlno service In tho Dutch church, at once produc ed their most eloquent predlgor. Now York Evening Post. TIMBER WEALTH OF FAR WE8T. In the United States the heart of the lumber bolt haB 'moved westward. At the beginning' of the last century almost tho entire wood supply came from the then untouched forests of tho Penobscot region of Maine. 'As tho woodsmen cut deop Into the heart of tho wood the Industry was forced to find other fields from which to draw its supply, and tho virgin forestB of tho south nnd the states bordorlng on the grent lakes were cut into. Al though these regions arc by no means depleted today, the Pacific coast Is rapidly becoming the heart of the timber trade. And what wonder? For In the three Btntes of California, Oregon and Washington there Is at least one-third of tho entire supply of standing timber in the United States, in figures, It amounts to more than 000,000,000,000 feet or uncut wood. t The forest reserves of tho national parks set apart by tho United States government within the limits of these three states aggregate an area of 32, 128 square miles, or more than 22 per cent of the total wooded areu of the states. In the state of Oregon alone, where n careful examination lias been made, the national census officials have estimated tho standing timber on these reservations nt 55.000,000,000 feet, or one-fourth of tho Btnte's total supply. CLIMATE CHANGED HIS LOVE. Miss Flora Cross, of Campbell Hill, who left last November and made the Journey alone to Manila, Philippine Islands, writes her parents that Mr. John Barrow, the man she expected to wed upon her arrival, had not mot her according to agreement, and that a letter from him stntcd that a chnnge had come o'er the spirit of his dreams and he would not fulfill Ills contract. Barrow Is one of the teachers sent to the Philippines two years ago by the United States government. Miss Cross, who was 21 years old. was one or his pupils in the Campbell Hill school when he wns a mere youth, nnd they soon became lovers. When she arrived at Manila a let tei from Barrow awaited her, saying it was Impossible for them to marry, but slvlng no excuse. She Is staying at her sister's at Blgaa Bulaco, and Barow is teaching at Cebu, 500 miles away. Miss Cross' sister went from Camp bell Hill to Blgaa in August, 1900, and wns married to John Demmcr, a teacher sent to tho Philcpplnes from Jackson county on the same ship that took Barrow. AH four wore students In tho Southern Illinois Normal in tills city. The fathers ot both Miss Cross and Barrow are wealthy farmers and prominent in Jackson county. Cob den. (111.) Sentinel.

THE FAIR A quarter of a century ago bunch- grass was the chief and almost ex clusive resource of the broad ulterior and cuttle, horses and sheep wore the main tokens or wealth. Thus It came that the residents of the "upper conn try" were known as "hunchgrassers." The term stuck, mid when delegations from this region attended conven tions of nny character in the WHfuni- etto valley or on the shores of Piiget sound It was invariably applied to them: But long ago the expression lost its distinctive significance it had In pio neer days. The buncltgrrtss has all hut ceased" to ripple in the summer breeze. Long ago the settler's prow turned it down. The land of native grasses lias become a hind or grain fields and" gardens and liuionilns; or chards. It Is time, therefore, that the news papers of Western Washington nnd Oregon took cognizance of these chnnges nnd ceused calling our legis lators, our convention delegutea and our baseball teams by an archaic term which is worso than meaning less and positively misleading, and which Is no more suited to existing conditions than the term 'W'apatos" would be to ball tennis from Portland and the Paget sound cities. Spokes man-Review. A NEW TRAVELING RULE. The Pennsylvania Company lias tdopted a rule against llquor-drtnklng and card-playing on Its trains. At first blush that looks like an assault on personal liberty. On second thought It seems like a wise regulation. There aro several thousand human hogs traveling about tho country. When they buy n railway ticket they somehow got tho impression that thoy have purchased a train and the rights o ftho rest of tho passengers. As soon as the train is in motion a band of kindred spirits Is recruited, cards nro produced, also several bot tles of 10-rod, and a miniature bar room Is opened. The scone, the talk including the Jokes that aro to say tho least In bad tasto aro nil offensive to a ma jority of tho passengors. Some of thorn have children witli them, and parents almost Invariably object to having their little ones witness tho actions or tho fow trnvolors who do not know how to bo respectable. Oh, yes, there will be talk about bluo laws and goody-goody measures. You wouldn't think of of tnklng a drink In the publicity of a railroad watting room. If you did. tho police Jj Agents for the Raymond Washable Kid Gloves Z would promptly put an end to your diversions. Nor would you start a poker game with a 10-cent limit in that same waiting room, Because you would think It curry ing personal liberty a little too far. Then why should yon expect to do those Bnme things In a car In the presence and to the annoyance of the very people whoso feelings you re spected in a waiting room? Respecta bility and dignity are no less virtues in the one place than the other. If you will think- about that new Pennsylvania rule and the wives, mothers nnd children who travel, you'll admit that It contains a little hardship and nn immense amount of ( good. Spokane Press. , MR. HERMANN'S CHOST. It seems strange that the Eugene convention should have turned from the bright nnd blameless young" men offered ns candidates, to name' Mr. Hermann for congress. Mr. Her mann is ever a genial person, and time wns when he wns a useful' con gressman. But n stalking ghost 101- lows him now. It points nn accusing finger and asks constantly. "Why, Mr. Hermann, did you quit office un der the Itosevelt administration?" Corvallls Times.
