If house resolution No. 23,017, In troduced In congress on December 20. 1906, becomes a law, the national bank Issue of the United States may "be Increased without any addition to the securities, In the sum of $320,165, S41. This bill provides bank notes for national banks In the form of guar anteed credit notes, with no increased responsibility on the banks. The gov ernment takes the risk, primarily, al though there is provided a sinking or guarar.ty fund to meet expenses of the Issue and losses through failure. The bill provides that any national ' bank may issue guaranteed credit notes not to exceed 37 H per cent of Its capital, paying to the government 5 pr cent per annum on the first issue of 2a per cent of its capital and 6 per cent on the issue of 12 H per cent of Its capital. This increased issue of money may be made without Increasing the deposit of securities with the government. It is an expansion of the currency without any increase in the redemp tion fund. This $320,165,641 of additional bank notes may be termed a plain Inflation of the currency without guaranteeing the government. It is emergency law to give the banks more money with which to handle the growing business of the country without the trouble of buying additional bonds with which to back up the issue. The scheme would be convenient in harvrt time, to be sure. The country needs about $200,000,000 additional during three months of the harvest season. If this law passes congress, 1t will be possible for the banks to meet the increased business demands of the country without Increasing their responsibilities. The total national bank Issue of the United States Is now $852,774,776. This amount Is amply guaranteed by fovemment bonds purchased by banks with which to secure circulation. But is it s-jfe and sound business policy to Increase this sum by an additional issue of $320,165,541 without a further. guarantee to the government? Suppose, during a few years of pros perous times, banks should take ad vantage of this law and Issue credit notes In addition to their bona fide circu'otion, up to the limit allowed. What is there to guarantee the gov ernment against enormous losses in case of an epidemic of bank failures resulting from a drop In prices and a suspension of business In numerous large centers' If the business of the country de mand this additional currency, should not the national banks secure It In the same way In which they have secured the!r present circulation by furnish ing security to the government? A law permitting a 37 increase In the national bank Issue, without ecurlty, seems to be a rather haz ardous venture. The law makes tho government responsible to the hold- The real tragedy of the filial acci dent at the Viniitilla agency Sunday morning was not In the death of five diunken Indians in a burning jail building. It vjs In the wondering eyes of the living Indians who surveyed the giewsiime scene. The white man brought whiskey to the Indian, made him a beast, taught him to wallow in the dirt a drunken ar.lmal, and then the same white man built jails in which to punish the In dian for doing what the white man taught him to do. Al! these burning fads were seen In the wondering eyes of the old men and women who stood silently about the charred remains of five of their tribesman at the agency yesterday. There was grim protest, accusation, threatening. In the pent-up passion of the friends and relatives of the dead Indlsns. Why did the white man poison the Indian life with his whiskey? Then why did the same white man punish the Indian after poisoning him? Why does the government permit white men to sell whiskey to weak Indians and then punish the Indian for buy ing if Why is not the guilty white man, who made the Indian drunk, punished? These questions were asked over and over in the wondering minds of the tribesmen yesterday, as they stood beside the ruins of a miserable jail, built by the government in which to punish Indians for the white man's sin. The real tragedy of the situation was in the groping minds of the living Indians as they .ought to understand in al); as they sought to conceive of the munificent plan of government which they must obey as children, yet which permits their moral destruction day by day, through the crime of white men. NEEDLESS TEARS. ( HOW ADVERTISING PAYS. The author of the "Autobiography of a Business Man," In the February Everybody's, says; "For a number of years I adver tised only In my windows and in some of the street cars, because I did not feel that I could afford to advertise In the dally papers. Two years ago last September I was having a crav- enette coat sale, and I succeeded In selling for a couple of weeks about 50 coats n dny. I thought I would try a column ad in one of the eve ning papers. 'The next day this column ad ap peared In one of the evening papers, and, by the bye, it was not the one tfiat had the largest circulation In Chicago; I selected the paper that this ad appeared In because they gave me log rate, but they agreed to give my ad a good position in the paper. The result was that the next day the sales, which had been about 50 coats a day, jumped to 143, and In E0 days I sold over 3500 raincoats. "For the year following that sale continued to advertise in this one paper. Last fall I felt tnat I could afford to Invest, say, about $6000 in advertising in some of the other pa pers. I used three morning papers and three evening papers, the best In Chicago. 'The results have been something phenomenal. I did not have to Invest $5000. The profits came back from the newspaper advertising before thetr bills came In, and I do not figure to day that I have a dollar Invested In advertising. In my opinion the only way to advertise Is to give them plain. common-sense talk. Tell them the truth. Do not get a customer to come to your store and find that you have faked him, for that is poor advertis ing, besides being dishonesty." The Portland Sunday Oregonlan sheds needless tears over the alleged Buttering and deatn of livestock on the ranges, through the failure of owners to provide sufficient feed. The Oregonlan is certainly not ac quainted In the range districts. For merly it was the custom to permit horses to run on the ranges during the long winter, but now they are too valuable. A good horse is worth $100 In gold coin any day, on the Pacific toast and no horseman thinks of per mittlng them to paw snow for three months In the struggle against starv ation. Ample feed Is provided and the best of care is taken of the horse herds, in nearly every case. Cattle and sheep are likewise well provided for. Unless a sudden storm comes early and catches these ani mals away from the feeding grounds there Is very little loss from starva tion any more. They are too valuable. The subject for real tears is the overworked dray horse of Portland and other large cities. There is real suffering. THE NIGHT EXPRESS. There's light nt last in the sable mist, And It hangs like a rising star On the border line 'twixt earth and sky Where the rails run straight and far, And deeply sounds from hill to- hill In mighty monotone; A distant voice a hoarse, wild note With savage warning blown. Tls the night express, and well 'tis named. For behold! from out of the night It comes and darkly adown the rails It looms to the startled sight Larger, nearer, nearer yet Till -at last there's a clang and a roar, A wave of heat, a gleam of red, From a closing furnace door; Then the crash and shriek of the rush ing train And our hearts beat fast and high When sudden and swift through the shadowy mist The night express goes by! W. Hurd Hlllyer, in London Trade Review. OUR YESTERDAY. Ah, why turn back life's blotted page To dwell thereon In vain regret? Better to turn the new page o'er And strive to pay the old one's debt By largesse of the living thought That moves on glowing word and deed, Through pain and wrong and pathless night. Straight to the heart of other's need: Making of self Love's servant true,' Who waits not for the clarion call, Bat holds in an o'erflowing cup Some drops of tenderness for all. If lovingly, through each new day, Swerveles8 we walk lire's nobler ways, Then, one by one, our God Bhall wipe The stains from all our Yesterdays! Selected. QUOTA nONS IX RUSSIA.

The present legislature seems to be determined to cut off two normal schools those at Ashland and Drain thns giving Oregon two first-class ln- stltutlonp, one at Monmouth and one at Weston. If this Is done the legls. lattire can afford to deal liberally with the remaining two schools and give them every facility for meeting tho keen demands made upon them. SUNSHINE OF YOU. I have plodded the ways of this grimy old world, Mid the hives and the marts of the millions hurled, I have tasted Its sweets, I have supped of its gall, And I've lingered and dreamed where the rose petals fall; have bent to its hopes and many have failed At the fates that befell me I've ang ered and railed; But what do they matter, lost hopes and the rue, So long as the heart knows the sun shine of you? Will F. Griffin. BE TRUE. Thou must be ttue thyself, If thou the truth would teach; Thy soul must overflow If thou Another's soul wouldst reach: It needr tho overflow of heart To give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world's famine feed; Speak truly, and such word of thine Shall be a fruitful seed; Live truly and thy life shall be A great and noble creed. Horatlus Bonar. HEALTH OF WOMEN In this nineteenth oentury to keep up with the march of progress every power of woman la strained to iU utmost, and the tax upon her physi cal system Is far greater than ever. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used in medloines. They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their knowledge of roots and herbs was far greater than that of women today. It was In this study of roots and herbs that Lydla E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy more no tent and efficacious than MHi.t.t.r I IN IS any combination of drugs. Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is an honest, tried and truejremedy of unquestionable therapeutic value. This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics or other harmful drugs and today holds the record for the largest number of actual eures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the laboratory at Lynn, Mass., which testify to its wonderful value. Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Plnkhamfs Vegetable Compound and write to you for advioe. It has done me a world of good and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for others.' When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulcer ation, Inflammation, Backache, Nervous Prostration, they should re member there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E, Pinkbam's Vege table Compound. . . Mrs. PlnkhanVs Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are Invited to write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Out of her vast volume of ex perience she probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Our Spring stock of Shoes has arrived and we have some very neat, nobby styles to show. f-hr us ST.
