BACKBONE.
When you Pee a follow mortal
Without fixed and fearless
views.
Untieing on the skirts of others.
Walking in their c:ist-off shoes.
Pnwinc low to wealth or favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retracf or waver.
Willing to be drove or led;
Walk yourself with firmer bear
ing, Throw your moral shoulders
back,
Show your spine has nerve and
marrow
Just the things which tils most
lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone
Than this backbone.
Dr. James L. York, San Jose,
Cal.

OLD TIME DOCTRINE.
The only difference that can be
s'ei- at this time between the views
of Bryan and Roosevelt on the out
come of the railroad problem Is that
Bryan tays that if government regu
lation should fall that government
ownership ought to come; whereas,
Roosevelt says that should govern
ment regulation fail that government
ownership would have to come. And
the old-fashioned populist who claim
ed t years ago that government reg
ulation was sure to eventually fall
and that government ownership
would not only become necessary, but
w-ia right in principle, wonders
which one. Hryan or Roosevelt, will
be first to claim that he was the
original expounder of the doctrine of
government ownership when it is fi
nally put In operation.

SALOONS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Apropos of the fact that three
fourths of the area of Kentucky is
now under prohibition secured by the
operation of a local option law, and
apropos of the further fact that the
East Oregonian has for the past sev
eral years warned the liquor dealers
within the radius of its circulation
that they themselves are responsible
for the radicalism of that sentiment
which will not be satisfied with any
thing short of prohibition, the follow
ing from the Memphis Xews-Scimitar
ought to be read and reread with
prayerful thoughtfulness by the liquor
deale.r. It succiently summarizes the j
situation in the state of Tennessee.
The closing paragraphs should be cut
out by every saloon keeper who reads
it and pasted in his hat, to be reread
btfoie his bedtime prayers and before
grace at each mealtime. The Xewa
Sclmitar says, under the caption,
"Prepress Toward Prohibition":
The passage uy the state senate of
the Pendleton tu 11 by su decided a
majority and the test vote of yester
day in the house which indicates ita
naTsate today by that branch of the
assembly, l.as crtated much anxiety
and no little uneasiness umongst the
peop!-j of Tennessee. Despite every
reasonable sign of the trend of tem
perance sentiment, there were many
who had not the foresight to see what
for months appeared Inevitable,
that the next step of the anti-saloon
people would be a long step.
The progress of the movement to
eliminate saloons from the state is
given as it shows upon the statute
books of the state.
In l3i the legislature passed the
first act restricting the sale of liquor
in the state. It Is known as the four
mile law.
The four-mile law did not invade
the chartered tow ns and cities of 'the
statu, hut cut out the cross-road
"groceries" and rum Joints. There
wui violent protest from the liquor
manufacturers or "interests" of the
stLf.', but public sentiment demanded
the passage of the law, and it has
been strictly enforced ever since to
the welfare and fair fame of Ten
nessee. It was a long time before any ad
ditional legislation on this subject
was had. The prohibition amendment
was submitted to the people and,
after a long and bitter fight failed of
popular Indorsement.
In the legislature took Its sec
ond forward step Irt the direction of
saloon annihilation. It passed what
is known as the Peeler law, prohibit
ing saloons In towns having not more
than 2000 population. a
Next came the Adams law, which
simply amends the Peeler law so as
to make Its provisions apply to towns
' having a population of not more than
C000.
Now comes the Pendleton bill,
which a few days ago passed the sen
ate by a vote of 26 to 6, and which
by the time this Issue of the News
Etlmltar is on the streets of Memphis,
will most likely have passed the house
'y a similarly overwhelming vote. It
amends the Adams law by making the
latter apply to all towns and cities
of the state.
As to the Pendleton measure, we
While. It is a well known fact, says
the Yakima Republic, that the citi
zens of Toppenish are very anxious
to enlarge their town by the addition
of a certain amount of land now em
braced in the reservation, and that
they wore making strenuous efforts at
Washington to make the national gov
ernment see the worthiness of their
deflres, It was said this morning from
nr. authoritative source that the
dream of Toppenish for future growth
was being blasted every day ty the
conditions existing there In regard to
the illicit trade with Indians on the
part of certain dispensers of fire

much displeased with affairs at Top-
p nish was stated to be a fact, and It

In fact, it was hinted that severe
steps might be taken by the national
government to see If something could
not be d-jiie to curb the Kile of liquor

authorities seem to be at a loss to

In the near future is almost absolute

A MESSENGER HOY'S SARCASM.
While not yet a captain of finance,
messenger No. 1683 of the Postal Tel
egraph company, paused in his ca
reer of breaking all running records
last week to enter the lists with J.
P. Morgan to administer a haughty
rebuke to the great financier and In
cidentally to treat him to a shave. It
all arose from the fat and interesting
envelope which 1 833, who refused to
Give his name for reasr.nB of state,
found on the corner of Wall and
Broad streets this week. The first
haughty glance revealed the fact that
It was full of money and checks, but
16S3 put temptation firmly behind
him, entered tho office of Mr.. Mor
gan, and, according to his story, ad
dressed the co.shler as follows: "Hay,
Oil, here's a million or so dat I picks
up In front of your door. I guess dc
old man needs It worse dan me."
"Me honest lad,' 'replied the
cashier, according to 1653, "you'll
grow up to be a second Theodore
Roosevelt some day. I'll take your
number and you shall be rewarded."

The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies.
Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as thev act most beneficially
and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts.
To gain the full confidence of the "Well-Informed of the world and the approval
of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to
and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Svrup Conipauv lias pub
lished for many years past in its advertisements and upon everv package a
full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they
demand m a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured bv the California Fig
Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the' Company oidy.
There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product
of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family
laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts,
without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy lias been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Fisfs. and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known "to nllVxiei.lll fillil flip Well-Tlli'm-nunl rf tlio tcnid.l tn La V,ct ..f ,mlnl

The envelope proved to contain $7000
In money and over J6000 In checks

to flash before the boy's eyes.
The next day, however, he received
the following letter:
