Ncwb Assocla- munt must be adopted, so to thlB'and the commercial features or tlio day come uppermost. The people 'of Ireland witnessed species of excitement yestorday, In the International automobile races which makes the traditional "wake' a tame nffnlr. The entire distance around the race course was strown with wrecks, and doctors followed up In autos, with rolls of bandages and Jncs of liniment piled Inch on the relief cars, nroken collar hones and arms, mashed noses and bruised bodies all claimed the attention of the physicians. The scene must have reminded the old Irishmen of a running fight between two warring clans in the oldun days. Talk about a modern war dance being a basis of hysterics nmong nervous people, what would the sight of an automobile race bring on? San 1'ianclsco Ilurenti, 40S Fourth St. Chicago llureau, 000 Security Ilullillng. Washington, D. C. llureau, 001 14th St., K. W. Entered at I'cndleton post oft Ice as second- class matter. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that nil men nrc created equal; that they are en dowed by their creator with certain Inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of ImpplnesB. That to secure these rlglts governments are instituted among men, deriving their Just powers from the consent of tho governed. That when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, It Is the right of the people to niter or abolish It and to institute a now government, laying Us foun dations on such principles, and organizing Its powers In such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." Declaration of Independence. Oovornor Cummins accepts tho Iowa nomination but he draws the line on the platform. He serves no tice on the convention that he still holds to his "Iowa Idea," and is wil ling to hold on to the governorship, also. He says In his speech of aa ceptance that the tariff Is too high and thnt his efforts In future shall be directed toward a reduction of it. It Is a compromise such a compro ntise as Is always effected when a "boss" raises the lash and says: "Dig." to some unwilling sorvant wearing the usual insignia of tho party rock pile. PROGRESS OF PATRIOTISM. The Fourth of .July celebration hns progressed as much as any other Amerlcnn Institution during tho past ten years. Innovations which would seem almost sacrilegious to the pat riots of fifty years ago have been Introduced, and custom has so chang ed the olden aspect of the holiday that It is scarcely recognizable. Not only have new customs been introduced, but the very spirit of the tlay has changed. I'atrlotism Is the last consideration in the Fourth of July program of today. When nil other details are urranged, then some provision Is made for the exuberant spirit which was of the celebration The first tlqtnlls of the celebration, today, are commercial problems to be met. The business men must or ganize, appoint committees and pre pare tho financial accounts, as If the celebration of the tlay were a com mercial event. Everything which Is intended for the amusement and com fort of the people must bo paid for at regular rates. Hooks are opened, ac counts are kept and all the formality and stiffness of a business deal ac company the proceeding. Tho old spontanlety and freedom of former days hnve disappeared. The result of this chnuge or base Is, that tho first nlm or the celebration is to get it crowd, nnd tho next in to got as much cash return out ot that crowd ns possible. It is simply a commercial undertak ing. So much money Is raised to prepare for tho orcaslon, nnd the day 1b supposed to yield a business re turn In proportion to tho expenditure. How many Fourth of July celebra tions today will include the tree din ner for tho crowd, in the grove? How many full baskets will he unloaded on the picnic grounds of Oregon to day?" The custom of joining in n union dinner on tables hundreds of feet long, nt which all were welcome, has almost totally disappeared oxrnpi in small gatherings, In the country. Tho oration of todny is generally a jmrtlsau review or current Issues, with occasional rororonco to tho roun ders or the government, us u means or exciting a little burst or applause. The old story or tho patriots nnd their long suffering has become a "chestnut" to the advancing hosts of the day. Tho strain of preparing ror the oc casion nnd raising funds for it Is so great upon a few business men who must necessarily take the lead, that It becomes an Irksome tnsk. Tho cost or the various attractions has become so- great that tho dona Hons from citizens nro unjustly heavy. 8omo means or getting a re turn for this outlay for public amuse- The management of the Lewis nnd Clark fair should be willing to do as much tor the circulation or Infornm tlon about the fulr as the newspa pers. Every paper In tho Northwest would be willing to Ibsuo a special edition descriptive or tiie fair, one half of the edition to be paid ror and circulated by the management and one-half to be circulated by tho pa pers themselves. In addition to this special edition every paper would Issue more than the' amount of the paid matter In a general way, during the progress of the preparations. The engineer In chnrgo of the port uge road surveys, says that the ap propriation of $lo,00n will be suffic ient to build the road. Let the "knockers" who have been nt work against this Improvement now cease their work. Oregon needs this road and the proposition was fully dis cussed nnd estimated uefore the amount was fixed. CORPORATIONS MUST REPORT The tlmo for filing reports of cor porations, undor tho, now corporation tax Haw haB already expired, yot thore are' 20 days of grace allowed In the matter. Itoports must now ho filed in tho office of the secretary of state by July 20, or a fine of $100 will be Imposed. Tho time for paying the first 11 cense tax expires on July IB, and nl though thore Is an effort being made to test tho legality of the license, all .the large corporations of tho state are paying the tax. Ulank reports may be had by atl dressing the secretary or state, and many Oregon concerns which have doubted the lognllty or tho 'corpora tion tax law, will save the price or the flno by squandering n two-cent stamj In sending for a blank, Tho Southern Pacific Company, of Kentucky, Is the largest corporation to register In Oregon, undor the now law. The capitalization or this com pnny Is $197,849,227.40. Many smnll business concerns, not fully aware of the inclining of the law, will pass the matter up, as not apply Ing to them and will be fined. The law explicitly says thnt every cor poration organized nnd doing bust ncss In the state, shall be subject to this license, ami thore is no escape for any incorporated body. BLACK FACTS FOR WHITE THOUGHT Judge Cleland, of Portland, has de cided that the Initiative and referen dum amendment is no part of the formerly the basis constitution of Oregon. This will be a surprise to the people who elected the legislature to transact their bus iness. The legislature is a needless luxury, It seems. The nnti-saloon ticket won In For est Grove, Thursdny, by a vote or 258 to 47. Over 9,000,000 black-skined people are now living in the United States They have about doubled In numbers since Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation. Counting in me uarit-sKlnnetl lnnabltnnts or our Insular possessions, 18,500,000 colored people nro living under our (lag. uur negro population owns more property than is generally supposed. iseany 4 per cent or the total assess able proporty of Virginia belongs to tiwm. in Georgia alone thev are as sessed on $15,000,000 worth or prop orty. Of the 1,400,000 heads or col ored families In the entire country In 1900 2G4.00O, or nearly one-fifth of tnem all, own the homes and farms on which they live, whore 4(1 years ago they did not own even tnelr own Iiorsons. In 40 years more, if they bo on in creasing ns they have done since 1803, tnere win be about 20.000.000 of col ored people In the United States, not counting tnose In tho Islands. Anil they will have a large property stake In the country too. What Is to bo done to mnke It nos. slble for the white race to live with them in safety and peaco7 Lynching cannot be the final solution. Every county In the South, we believe, has school houses now for Its colored children. Probably In that direction lies tho hope or the future. The black race must be civilized, and tho school house Is tho great Amerlcnn clvillzor. New York World. Regular passenger rates are now mude rrom St. Petersburg to Vlndls vostok, a distance or fi.141! miles. Folders and advertising matter have been issued advertising the route In Amerlcnn style. CRUSHES OUT THE LIFE The most loathsome and repulsive of all living things is the .serpent, and the vilest ami ... .1 t; r "' "c.r",mD? f a" '"""an diseases is Contagious Mood 1'oison. The serpent .sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood mid spreads throughout the whole system 1'aiiifttl swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms aremild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital part of the body. It is then that Contagious Wood Poison is seen in all its hideous ness The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors. show the whole system is corrupted and j.oi'nrW, ami unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its coils and crushes out the life. The only antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S. li is natufo' remade mm. posed entirely of vegetable ingredients. S. S. S. destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the blood and removes all danger of transmitting the awful taint to others. Nothing else will di this. Strong mineral remedies. like mercurv nml nntnui. dry up the sores and drive in the disease, but do not cure permanently.
