The greatest existing cause of lynching Is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape the most abominuble In all the' cate gory of crimes, even worse than mur der. Mobs frequently avenge the com mission of this crime by themselves torturing to death the man commit ting It: thus avenging In bestial fash ion a bestial deed, and reducing them selves to a level with the criminal. Eight-Hour Day. I call attention to the ned of pass ing the bill limiting the number of hours of employment of railroad em ployes. The measure Is a very mod crate one and I can conceive of no serious objection to it. Instead, so far as It is In our power, It should be our aim steadily to reduce the number of hours of labor, with as a goal the gen eral Introduction of an eight-hour day. There are Industries In which It is not possible that the hours of labor should be reduced; just as there ere communities not far enough advanc ed for such a movement to be for their good, or, If in the tropics, go situated that there la no analogy between their needs and ours In this matter. On the Isthmus of Panama, for In stance, the conditions are in every way so different from what they ore here that an eight-hour day would be absurd: Just as It Is absurd, so far as the Isthmus is concerned, where white labor can not be employed, to bother as to whether the necessdry work Is done by alien black men or by alien yellow men. Hut the wage-workers of the Vnlts ' States are of so high a grade that alike from the merely Industrial standpoint and from the civic stand point, It should be our object to do what we can in the direction of se curing the genual observance of nn eight-hour day. Until recently the eight-hour law In our federal statute books has been ver yRcantlly observ ed. Now, however, largely through the Instrumental!!)' of the bureau of labor, It is being rapidly enforced. iive the Con! Lands. It Is not wise that the nation should alienate Its remaining coal lands. I have temporarily withdrawn from settlement all the lands which the pool -itlca! survey has Indicated as containing, or In all probability con taining coal. The question, however, can be prop erly settled only by legislation, which In my Judgment should provide for the withdrawal of these lands from sale or from entry, save In certain especial circumstances. The owner ship would then remain in the Vnlted States, which should not, however attempt to Work them, but permit theni to be worked by private Individ ual? under a royally system, the gov ernment keeping such control as to permit It to see that no excessive price was charged consumers. It would, of course, be as necessary to supervise the rates charged by those who mine It; and the supervision must extend to the conduct of the common carriers, so that they Fhall In no way favor one competitor at the expense of another. The withdrawal of these coal lands would constitute a policy analagous to that vv ;, i:is ,een followed In with-.Ir-iwi. : i.v forest lands from ordl naiy si t.lenient The coal, like the forests, should be treated as the prop erty of too public and its disposal slmulil be under conditions which would Inure to the benefit of the public :ih a whole. - t'orHiratioiw. The present congress has taken long stride in the direction of secur ing proper supervision and control by the national government over corpor ations, engaged In Inter-state business und the enormous majority of cor porations f any size are engaged in interstate business. The pnsshge of the railway rate bill. and only to n less degree the passage of the pure food bill, and the pro vision for Increasing and rendering more cffcctlvo national control over the beef-pneklng Industry, mark nn Judge Beer By Its True worth Progressive Hen and Women Consider It a means to Hatlonal Temperance. We have recently published a. num ber of articles on tho food value of beer, and we believe that sooner or later beer will be recognised at Its true worth, ns a food beverago of splendid tonic efToct and high nourishing value. Noted men and women of this country Are already alive to the situation and besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and Dr. Joseph Felslor of Northwestern Uni versity, many others of note give their endorsement to beer as a means to na tional temperance. Miss Cousins, for a quarter of a cen tury the most eminent woman suf frage advocate In the West, said In a recent Interview: "There never will b a law thnt will compel prohibition, and the sensible thing for the Women's Christian Temperance Union to do is to aid In tho substitution of mild, nourishing drinks like beer, which sel dom produces drunkenness. A promi nent army oiticcr wno served In the Heiithwest. onerated canteens at three. different posts. Ho made the canteens so acceptable to tho soldiers, who' louna Doer sansrying their demands, that ho actually ran all the low dlvni of the surrounding neighborhood out of business." Pabst Beer meets all tho domnnds tor a mild, healthful, refreshing bever age such ns Miss Cousins suggests. It is mode oi the exclusive l'ubst eight day malt, choicest hops and pure wator. Might-day mult, which Ib tho only perfect mill t. 'gives l'ubst Beer Its superior food value nnd richness. Strong In nourishment tho body re quires, it Is refreshing and Satisfying. Perfect In age, purity nnd strength, absolutely clean and containing only threo and one-hnlf per cent of alcohol, rubst noer is 1110 tuenl temperance beverage. No other Is so healthful. ISSAG Important advance In the proper di rection. In the short session It will perhaps be difficult to do much further along this line; and It may be best to wait until the laws have been operation for a number of months before en deavoring to Increase their scope, be cause only" operation will show with exactness their merits and their short comings and thus give opportunity to define what further remedial leg islation is needed. Tet In my judg ment It will In the end be advisable In connection with the packing house Inspection law to provide for putting a date on the label and for charging the cost of Inspection to the packers. AH these laws have already Justified their enactment. The reactionary or ulta-conserva-tlve apologists for the misuse of wealth assail the effort to secure such control as a step toward socialism. As a matter of fact It Is these reaction aries nnd ultra-conservatives who are themselves most potent In increasing socialistic feeling. Income or Inheritance Tax. The national government has long derived Its chief revenue from a tariff on Imports and from an Internal or excise tax. In addition to these there la every reason why, when next our system of taxation Is revised, the na tional government should Impose a graduated Inheritance tax, and. If pos sible, a graduated Income tax. The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state, be cause he derives special advantages from the mere existence of govern ment. Not only should he recognize this obligation In the way he leads his dally life and In the. way he earns and spends his money, but it should also be recognized by the way in which he pays for the protection the state gives him. On the other hand. It Is desirable that he should assume his full nnd proper shnre of the burden of taxa tion; on the other hand. It Is quite as necessary that In this kind of taxa tion, where the men who vote the tax pay but little of it, there should be clear recognition of tho danger of In augurating any such system save in a spirit of entire Justice and modera tion. Itaco Suicide Condemned. When home ties are loosened; when men and women cense to regard a worthy family life, with all Its duties fully performed, and nil Its responsi bilities lived up to, ns the life best worth living; then evil days for the commonwealth are nt hand. There nre regions in our land, and classes of our population, where the birth rate has sunk bdow the death rate. Surely It should need no dem onstration to show that wilful sterili ty Is, from the standpoint of the na tion, from the standpoint of the hu man race, the one sin for which the penalty is national death, race death; a sin for which there Is no atonement; n sin which Is the more drendful ex actly In proportion as the men and women guilty thereof are in other re spects. In chnracter, and bodily and mental powers, those whom for the sake of the state It would be well to see the fathers and mothers of many healthy children, well brought up In homes mndc happy by their Vresenee. No man. no woman, can shirk thj primary duties of life, whether for love or case and pleasure, or for any other cause, anil retains his or her ''lf-respect. Currency Reform. I especially call your attention to the second subject, the condition of our currency laws. The national bank act has ably served a great pur pose In aiding the enormous business 'development of the country; and with in 1 a years there has been nn Increase In circulation per capita from $21.41 In sss.ns. For several yeaf-s evidence has been nerumulating that additional legisla tion is needed. The recurrence of each crop season emphasizes the de feetH of the present laws. There must soon be a .revision of them, because to l-iv tlii'nj its tl'"y are means to inenr liability of business disaster. Mnee your body adjourned there has been u fiii 'tuiulon in the Interest nn call money from 2 to 30 per cent; und the fluctuation was even greater dur ing the preceding six months. The secretory of the treasury had to step In and by wise action put a stop to the most violent period of oscillation. I'ven worse than such fluctuations Is the advance In commercial rates nnd the uncertainty felt In tho sufficiency of credit even at high rates. All commercial interests suffer dur ing each crop period. Excessive rates for call money In New York attract money from the Interior banks Into the speculative field; this depletes the fund that would otherwise be available for commercial uses, nnd commercial borrowers are forced to pny abnorninl rates; so that ench fall a tax. In tho shnpe of Increased Inter est charges, Is placed on the whole commerce of the country. The mere statement of these facts shows thnt our present system Is seriously defective. There Is need of a change. Army and Navy. The United States navy Is the sur est guarantor of peace which this country possesses. It Is earnestly to be wished that we would profit by the tenchings of history In this mat ter. A strong nnd wise people will study Its own failures no less than Its triumphs, for there Is wisdom to be learned from the study of both, of the mistake as well as of the success. For this purpose nothing could be more Instructive than a rational study of the war of 1812, as It Is told, for Instance, by Cnptnln Mnhan. There was only one way In which that war could have bean avoided. If during the preceding 12 years a navy relatively ns strong as that which this country now hns, thori never would hnve been the slightest necessity for fighting the war; and If the necessity had arisen the war would under such circumstances have ended with our speedy and over whelming triumph. But our people during those 12 years refused to make any prepara tions whatever, regarding either the army or tho navy. They saved a mil- A LADY'S $25 Tailor Made Suit Free For a Good Guess Four The object is to get you in the habit of reading Crank's ads. They'll keep you posted on what to wear and where to buy it.

Co, about the use of Hyo mel. They have so much faith In the efficacy of this treatment that they give their personal guarantee with every outfit they sell that It will effect a cure, or that money will be refund ed. In many Instances Hyomel hns cured catarrh when the patient has suffered from childhood. Quite a few people In Pendeton who 'have been unable years to get rll of the disagreeable tickling and dropping at the back of the throat, have obtained quick relief fro ma few treatments with Hyomel, and the continued use has made a complete and lasting cure. There Is no stomach dosing when one uses Hyomel. Simply brenthe Its medicated healing through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and nil catarrhal germs will be killed nnd the mucous membrane will bo healed. A complete Hyomel outfit costs but $1, sufficient for nt least two weekh treatment, making It one of the most economical methods of curing catarrh. If the outfit does not complete a euro, extra bottles of Hyomel, If needed, can be bought for 50 cents. Remember, thnt there Ib no risk In buying Myo mol. It costs nothing unless It cures.
