The manufacturer or his agents
should see that poods are packed as

THE OREGON PROGRAM.
I look to science for the
growth of faith,
That bold denier of accepted
creeds
That Jnlshty doubter of Immor-
tal truths
Shall yet reveal God's secrets
to the world
And prove the facts It seeks to
overthrow.
And a new name shall science
henceforth wear
The great religion of the unl-
verse.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
SPOKANE VIEW OF BRYAN.
The following estimate of the ad
dress of William Jennings Bryan at
Spokane Is from the Spokesman-Review,
which is not politically for
Pryan, but which, gives him the high
est praise as a statesman and a citi
xon. The Review says-
Persons who heard Mr. Bryan's
T;h Tuesday night and had heard
him frequently before, said that his
speech at the banquet was the finest
they had ever heard delivered. All
the elements of great oratory were
blended In that address deep knowl
edge of the subjects discussed, flashes
of wit and humor, lofty Ideals, good
natured ridicule of the other party,
and frequent bursts of the finer sort
of eloquence nothing hysterical,
nothing florid, but beautiful senti
ments expressed in choice. English.
But perhaps the true greatness of
the man was better revealed by his
broad and generous utterances ap
proving many of the acts and utter
ances of President Roosevelt.
Here was a man who was twice de
feated for the presidency; whose
leadership was rejected at the last
national convention of his party, who
has been abused and vilified as prob
ably nr. olher American since Lin
coln, and yet he spoke without bit
terness, spoke indeed with a fine ex
hibition of good humor and kindly
feeling and gave a speech which was
characterized rather more by praise
of the leader of the republican party
than by criticism of that party.
No wonder Mr. Bryan retains his
grip on the affections of the demo
cratic masses and the respect of the
great body of American citizenship.
His superb courage, his undoubted
sincerity and his broad and kindly
sympathies endear him to millions of
all parties.
Tt If the great good fortune of the
nation that the leadership of the
democratic and republican parties is
held by William Jennings Pryan and
Theolore Roosevelt.
NEGLECTING COMMERCE.
Manufacturers' associations have
for many years been passing resolu
tions about the lack of authentic In
formation of trade opportunities In
foreign countries, which Information
could be furnished by the American
consuls.
The manufacturer cries for new
markets and wants the consul to lo
rate them. Yet the department of
commerce and labor has been pub
lishing for several years a most val
uable series of consular and trade
reports giving Just the Information
wanted.
That the manufacturers are not
paying proper attention to these re
ports, which often contain excellent
advice, Is shown by the Increasing
number of consuls' reports about
faulty parking and slowness In filling
orders.
It has been shown that the manu-
The Oregon program is attracting
the attention of legislatures in all the,
northwest states this winter
Idaho and Washington are consid
ering direct primary laws, local op
tion laws and river improvements.
These subjects have lain dormant in
our neighboring states until Oregon
has demonstrated their worth and
carried them through the experiment
al stage.
The popular election of United
States senators has been practically
adopted In Idaho. W. E. Borah was
the choice of the state convention last
spring and hat been selected by the
legislature out of respect for the ex
pression from the convention.
In Washington the local option law
and the direct primary law will
doubtless be passed this winter and
other Oregon measures will be seri
ously discussed.
Oregon Is willing for her daugh
ters to Imitate her. She has set a
glorious pace In popular government.
She has demonstrated its worth and
has borne the brunt of the experi
ments, now , the other northwest
states con adopt 'the well tried prin
ciples without grief
LAUGH.
A toart to laughter from the gen
lai e liter of the New Orleans States
is reproduced:
Htre's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, tho happiness of the heart,
the leaven of youth, the privilege of
purity, the echo of Innocence, the
treasure of the humble, the wealth
of the poor, the bead of the cup of
pleasure; It dispels dejection, ban
ishes blues and mangles melancholy:
for it's the foe of woe, the destroyer
of depression, the enemy of grief; It
is what kings envy peasants, pluto
crats envy the poor, the guilty envy
the Innocent; It's the sheen on the
silver of umlles, the ripple on the
water's delight, the glint of the gold
of gladness; without it humor would
be dumb, wit would wither, dimples
would disappear und smiles would
shrivel, for It's a glow of a clean
cons-.lence, the voice of a pure soul,
the birth cry of mirth, the swan
song of sadness. laughter!
Governor Cummings of Iowa, in his
message to the legislature advocated
the passage of a 2-cent passenger fare
In that state. For fully 20 years an
attempt has been made to secure a
reduction In passenger fares In Iowa,
but tne railroads have always been
able to defeat It. Now that the gov
ernor Is backing the measure It is
pretty certain a change to the 2
eent basis will be made.
MILES OF PRICK.
A builder who will have a hand In
the execution of a contract for a new
skyscraper In this city (for the Trust
Company of America), recently did
some figuring on the bricks required
for the Job, says the New York Trl
t'jne. The structure Is to be 25 stories
high, and, though the frame will be
ot steel, the walls will consist of
burned clay. He says he will need
5, 510,000 common brick. 247,000 ma
roon bricks and 247,000 more buff
colored ones. Including a few more
to go into angles, the total number
required Is estimated at 5,637,000.
These will be eight and a quarter
lnchs long, and If laid end to end in
a single string, would extend about
720 miles. This line, starting from
N"w York city and reaching south
ward (or southwest ward), would
fetch up In the vicinity of Charleston,
S. C.
Swung to the westward it would
nearly touch Detroit, missing that city
by about 20 miles. If those bricks
could be laid on the surface of the
Hudson they would stretch up to Al
bany and back twice, and then
ei'ough would be left over to cover
four-fifths of the distance to the cap
ital again.
The school enrollment at Yakima
is now 2209. The gain during the past
year has been 418, or 23 per cent.

Indigestion promptly follows the use of
lard as lard is made from hog-fat, and is
greasy and indigestible. Some future day,
when people are wiser and healthier, lard, for
edible purposes, will be scarcely used; but,
until then, we suppose people will continue to
suffer from "lard stomachs."
The most perfect shortening in the world
is Cottolene. It is a pure vegetable product,
containing only pure, refined cotton seed oil
and choice selected beef suet It will make
your food palatable, digestible, nourishing
and healthful, which is more than any one
can truthfully say of lard.
Cottolene is a clean product. Only the
most modern and hygienic methods are em
ployed in its manufacture. Its purity is your
surety. The quality of Cottolene is always
uniform and dependable.
Every good grocer sells Cottolene and
those who use it themselves, recommend it.
It comes only in sealed, white pails, with a
red label and band. In the center of the
label is our trade mark a steer's head in a
cotton plant wreath. Do not accept a sub
stitute. Cottolene is the original andonly im
provement upon lard as a shortening. It has
no satisfactory substitute except on paper.
Use one-third less. Cotlolene, being
richer than lard or cooking butter, one-third
less is required, it is,
therefore, economical.
COTTOLENE was granted a GRAND PRIZE (highct
possible award) over all other cooking fats at the
recent Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and food cooked
with COTTOLENE another GRAND PRIZE.

Nature's Gift from the Sunny South
NEED HIGHER SALARIES.
The enormous expenditures of gov
ernment officials are shown In the
following dispatch from Washington
to the Oregon Dally Journal:
The proposed law for an Increase In
salaries of cabinet officers and the
speaker of the house recently led to
an exchange of confidences among the
members of Roosevelt's official fami
ly on the cost of living In Washing
ton. Secretarys Hitchcock and Root are
the largest spenders. The former
spends between $40,000 and $50,000 a
year. Both are very wealthy men.
The $8000 salary does not pay house
rent for these men.
Secretary Taft has a large family
and it costs him $20,000 a year to live
In what he regards as a plain way.
Secretary Shaw owns to spending $18,-
000 a year since he became secretary
of the treasury. He, too, has a num
ber of growing girls, and he says mil
linery bills are a revelation to him.
Secretary Moody has spent about
$2000 more than Ms salary each year,
although he Is a bachelor. Secretary
Bonapare Is rich and spends $20,000
a year.
Secretaries Wilson and Cortelyou
live on their own salaries, the latter
for the good reason that it Is all he
has to live on. Secretary Wilson has
only himself and one daughter, and
he lives very quietly.
WILL WELCOME BRYAN.
Mr. Bryan will be Juat as warmly
welcomed and as hospitably treated
by the republican legislature of Ore
gon as If he were a member of the
majority party, though It Is to be
hoped that while the guest of such a
body he mny be able to forget the
politician In the citizen ana not take
it for granted, or think for a minute,
that his wild and unstable doctrines
of national policy are welcome In the
least.
As a clean, able, brilliant American
gentleman, he is welcome to republi
can Oregon, and to Its republican leg.
Mature, but as a political guide both
have repudiated him before and would
do so again so long as there Is no
more change In his views than has so
far been made apparent. Salem
Statesman.
Samuel Ten Brocke, aged 26 years,
died In a Spokane hospital from the
effects of electric burns received
over a week before. He was an Odd
Fellow and leaves a wife and two
children.
The night of January 14 the mer
cury registered 20 degrees below zero
at Prlneville and 19 below at Bend.
WOMEN IN POLITICS.
Florence Kelley contributes an ar
ticle on women's trades unions to the
December Outlook, In which she lis-
cusses the action of the supreme
court of Illinois In holding as uncon
stitutional the statute which restricts
woman's hours of labor to eight
She says that In Illinois woman Is
citizen enough to be exploited by the
sweat shops, citizen enough to be
worked to the limit of life and
strength, citizen enough to be work
ed dny and night, Sabbaths and Sat
urdays, citizen enough to be worked
for all she js worth and for very poor
piy, although her political rights as
a citizen go no further than tho right
to vote, once In four years for trus
tees of the state university.
In the face of this last named fact
the New York antl-suffragists have
the temerity to cite the small woman's
vote In Illinois as proof that woman
would not vote If they had "a chance,
In fact that "women do not vote
after the novelty wears off."
No wonder their report Ignores the
figures presented by Colorado, Idaho,
l.'tnh and Wyoming for In Colorado
80 per cent of the womnn register
and 7? per cent vote; In Idaho women
are less than half the population,
yet they cast nearly half of tho total
vote. They vote In large numbers in
Utah nnd the secretary of state of
Wyoming Is authority for the state
ment that 90 per cent of the women
In that state vote. Exchange.
INCREASE RACE STAKES.
It has been suggested by some
thoughful people that Instead of of
fering an additional $5000 stake at
the Oregon state fair this fall, It would
be better to increase the two $2000
stakes to $5000 each, giving $4000 for
the main stake and $1000 for a con
solation, says the Rural Spirit.
This plan It Is argued would be more
satisfactory and would be recognizing
the trotter equally with the pacers. A
$5000 stake for 2:09 pacers on the
handicap entrance plan and the same
amount for 2:15 trotters would create
a great stir here In racing circles and
no doubt the colors of a number of
new stables would be seen on this cir
cuit the coming season.
Events of this kind would certainly
bring together a great class of horses
on this circuit that would draw large
crowds at all the leading- fairs. If
such stakes are offered at Salem we
would advise that a liberal stake be
offered for 2:10 trotters also.
