Will we accuse Umatilla county of ibelng a shallow soil, of yielding her istrengtn to the one crop system? Will we say anything further about Kite need of rest, of fertilization, of "ecuperation for a soil that Is proved hiio be as everlasting as the everlast ing hills thems.elves?

No white laborer from tho United States can or would endure It." Dr. Stephens goes on to cite th.e ox- ; lierlenres of the French excavators. I According to the .estimates the French i lost about 50,000 laborers during their period of construction. Not only did the common diggers succumb, but the sudden deaths of men In higher places were continually causing enforced do lnys on the part ot gangs of diggers. Many are the expedients that have been advanced to relieve the diffi culties of tho labor problem In Pana ma. Some have advocated the wholesale Importation Into the canal zone of negroes Irom tho Southern States, others have declared that upon tho working classes of Jamaica and other Carlb islands, negroes and half-breeds all of them, rest the only hopes of the commission. Hut to the first of these proposi tions it has been strongly objected by the South that taking away a great army of negroes for work on tho ca nal would so alter tho field of labor In the cotton belt that tho cotton in dustry would suffer seriously. Against tho Jamaica suggestion It Is maintained that thero are not enough reliable laborers In any of tho adjacent Islands to fill the steady de mand. There remain, then, the Japanese or the coolies. On the Hawaiian sugar plantations, where, climatic con ditions are very nearly approximate those of Panama, the bulk of tho heavy labor Is douo by Jnpanese. Hardy, Inured to excessive heat In conjunction with constant humidity, ever willing to work according to tho word of the overseers, these little brown fellows would seem especially fitted to endure the grilling tasks In the great ditch. The close of the war will see thousands of them free to take em ployment. As to th.e coolie, well, he is at least a last resort. Prejudice may have to be put aside If It bo that we can find no one else to wield tho shovel In Panama. CORRUPT PARTY POLITICS. William Allen White, the well known Kansas writer, has tho follow ing to say touching the party system in this country: "The entrance of tho corporation Into American politics has been fol lowed by grafting, not only In offices but in laws. "Tho corporation that desires spe cial privileges contributes cash to the central committees of tho two dominant parties, and If the party managers are honest, according to tho rules of the gamo of politics, those contributions aro tho purchase price of desired privileges. "If a corporation running a railroad wishes to maintain high rates it Is no longer necessary to buy members of tho legislature at least, not In a well regulated state. "Hut It Is necessary to buy the par ty organization that controls the leg islamic ; and this Is done before the legislature Is elected. "Tho deed Is "recorded on the books of tho state central committee, nnd if a member or group of members ap pear with a bill In tho interest of the shippers, the chairman of the state commltteo makes It his business to see that the organization is against the bill. "Similarly In tho lower walks of politics, tho county central committee protects the saloon keeper, and sltnl- It looks as if a man's back is the center of strength when he is straining to lift or haul a heavy weight, nut the center of strength ' not the back, but the stom ach. There's no streiijrth in the bock of a giant if he's starving. All strength is made roni toou, ana toon can oniv be converted into strength when it is perfectly digested and assimilated. When the stomach is diseased, the nutri tion of food Is lost and phys ical weakness follows. Dr. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the I stomach and other organs of digestion anil nutrition. It makes men strong auu mus cular, by enabling the periect digestion ana assimilation of the food eaten. 1 1 suffered from very obsti nate cam of dvupentla." writes K K, Brcord, Km., of 13 Kattern A v., Toronto, On tario.

I "Through the party system as It has been orgnnlzed for 25 years In Amer ica, apparently a general system of grafting has arisen. Involving not only the offices but the laws of the country, and through this grafting system bas arisen u group of persons having the nower. but not the re-1 spectnblltty, of tho barons whom the English speaking people overthrew several hundred years ago. Tito par ty system Is rotten to the core In America.'1 DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL DO. An engineer who starts to build a bridge and then keeps finding better places to put his piers, and wonder ing whether he has selected the best location or not, will never get the bridge across tho river. He must de cide, then go ahead and build the bridge, no mntler what obstacle he may strike. So It Is with tno builder of character, he musi decide finally what ho will do, nnd then make for his goal, refusing to look back or bo moved from his course. Tens of thousands of young people with good health, .good education and good ability, are standing on the end of a bridge, at life's crossing. Thoy hope thoy are on the right way, they think thoy aro doing the right thing, and yet thoy do not dare to burn tho bridge they have just crossed. Thoy want a chance for retreat in case thoy have made a mistake. They can not bear tho thought of cutting off all possibility of turning back. Thoy lack the power to decide conclusively whnt course thoy will take. O. S. Maiden, In the August Success. THE NORSK NIGHTINGALE. Tal me not, yu knocking fallers.
