For my part, I do not think wo hnvo any right to think 'of heaven for others, much leas of a heaven for ourselves In the world to come, until we are wholly determined to make this world n heaven for our fellow-men, and are hop lng, believing, loving and working for that, and for Its realization not in a thousand or a million years, hut In a nearer future.

The ty valuations, and especially railroad people may petition, which thoy valuations in Washington, tills year. have, but tho court is not compelled to respect tho petition and may grant a saloon a license to locate In the midst of that llttlo community against tho expressed wishes of tho residents. Does this seem to be a fair law? Is it right to placo tho selection of tho moral surroimdlncR of a psoplo in tho hands of a dlsln terested board, no matter how ex ailed an opinion of good government that board may have? Should not the people who own tho homos and pay tho taxes in College Place be the ones to decide whether or no a saloon should be thrust In their midst? The East Oregonlnn nopes that Oregon voiers see ill to adopt tlio local op tion law at the coming election. is a Just law. It gives the members of every community tho right to se lect the environment for their chit dren. It will do no one an injustice, for no American can complain of tho majority rule. Think of It. It's an tho tiro. GIVE HIM HIS DUES. The disgusting nonsense about Portland gamblers being the ruin o ll. . Gowell, the insurance agent who suicided a few days ago because of his losses in the different Port land gambling clubs, has gone far enough. Portland gambling clubs may havo offered tho opportunity for Gowell to go to hell through gambling, but Gowell furnished the inclination and the dogged determination to com plete the Job. Gamblers are entitled to their just dues, just as any other class. They did not go out on the street and drag Gowell Into their dives. They did not put their hands in his pockets and take out his money. They did not Implant In his mind the insane prejudice against hard work and In dustrious habits which caused Gow ell to go to the dogs. Gowell Is to blamo for these things, -and because he died the death of a coward and a wreck, is no cause for crocodile tears for his shortcomings, nor for the especial wickedness of the gamblers In his case. He caused his own downfall. He invited physical and mental ruin. Ho ordered Just exactly tho dose of In sanity and mental agony that he was finally forced to swallow through fi nancial ruin and mortification. The East Oregonlan believes in placing all blamo where It belongs. It does not bellevo In laying sins at the wrong door. Gambling and gam blers are objectionable in society, but they are not tho only causes of recklessness and ruin In the commu nity. Thoy usually keep their place, and If other members of society kept their places as well, they would not come In contact with gambling. A man who wilfully hunts up a game and gets robbed and then howls about the ruinous evil of gam bling being the cause of his sin, is a coward and worso than tho gam bier. If you keep your place gam bllng will not touch you. If you hunt It up and lose, who is to blame? Gambling should be confined and weeded out, but as long as there are seemingly respectable members of society who make a demand for so cret gambling halls by sneaking out after dark and patronizing them, they will always bo found In tho com m unity. as an instance or remnrknblo on terprise, the action of the Oregon Daily Journal in bringing out the sentiment' of tho different nominees of .Multnomah county for the iegisla ture on the Portland charter ones tlon, Is worthy of wide mention. That paper has stood for tho people against tho politicians, against a re vision of tho present charter of Port land, that being tho leading issue in that city, In the campaign now In progress. Tho Journal has placed 25 of the .10 candidates on record on the question, so the people will know who nre the.r friends. It is the in tention of tho politicians to change the charter at the coming session of '"" -A-a0' the legislature, and as a result of the activity of the Journal, the only paper that is standing with tho peo pie, the candidates have made known their positions. This gives tho peo Wish somethln cheerful would hap pen, More in accord 'Itli my views: Nothln' but Bhootln' 'n' scrnnntn' Hunnln through nil of tho news, "Russians blowed up! Awful slaugh-j tor!!"

Experience is a dear teacher, as those who pin their faith to Mercury find out sooner or later. This power ful poisou combined .with Potash, is the treatment gen erally prescribed forContngious Dlood Poison, butfailtire and disappointment isthe invariable result. These min erals drive in the sores and eruptions, and apparently the disease is gone and the patient believes the cure perma nent, but soon, learns better when the old symptoms return almost as soon as the treatment is left off. You must cither keep the system saturated with mercury or endure the tortures of sore mouth, ulcerated throat and the mortification that one naturally feels when the body is covered with disgusting sores, rashes, copper-colored splotches and other aggravating symptoms of this vile disease. Mercury and Potash are poor crutches, nnd their use eventually breaks down the constitution, ruins the digestion and cause the bones to decay. S. S. S., a guaranteed purely vegetable remedy, is the only antidote for Contagious Blood Poison. It de stroys every atom of the deadly virus, overcomes the bad effects of theineicury and cleanses the blood nnd svstem so thoroucrhlv that never after are anv sicna of the disease seen. Nor is the taint ever transmitted to others. Wc will send free our hook on Contagious Blood Poison, which is inter, esting and contains full directions for treating yourself at home.

It was an unkind cut for the Pilot Hock Record to print a "deadly parallel" today, showing that tho Tribune's editorial on "Do We Eat Too Much?" of a couple of days ago. was the leading editorial In tho Globe Democrat of four days before. This Is especially unkind In the Record, after having Just taken tho land of fice patronage away from the Pen dleton paper.
