People of the state may not real ize it, but they have 12 new laws to obey since June 23, when the gov arnor's proclamation put Into force the constitutional amendments and initiative and referendum laws con jO-red favorably by the people at the recent election of June 1. Taking them in Ihe order that they were promulgated by the secretary of state, it will be see'n that the time for Jiolding the general elections will now fee held the first Monday In Novem "ier, instead of the first Monday in June. Consequently the next gen rul election will be held in Novem- Sk.t or 1910.

Bills .Sticklers. The most peculiar situation in the Wit has been caused by the passage it the two fish bills, one drafted by thn lower river interests of the Co iurr.bia with the Intention of putting rji upper river fishermen out of Srcis:ness as nearly as possible, and the other drafted by the upper river -.m-n with the same intent towards the Jower river men. For the past 30 years the warring salmon Interests of the Columbia river have been trying to get succes sive legislatures to regulate the sal mon fishing of the river, each section -striving to put the other out of busl 7its. The legislatures have been Women as Well as Iflen Are Haft Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discouragesandlessensambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds lie flesh, or if, when the child reaches an ge when it should be able to control the visage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet-tin, depend upon it, tbecause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to diseased condition of tbe kidneys and bladder and not to a liabit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, mad both need the same great remedy. Ttoe mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggiau, in any- VCUw Hini vww w if, mm Knttlmi You mavl Fr-fH bare a sample bottle bv mail free, also a vm pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, eluding many of the thousands of testi monial Fetters received from sufferer" cored.

N. if., oa every HQS NEW LAWS held in check on such legislation, and for the most part have taken no ac tion. This year, however, the two initiative bills have been passed by the people, thus effectually regulat ing the salmon fishing on the entire river between its mouth and The Dalles. If the laws are enforced, the salmon will have ample time in which to take a new lease on life. A big fight is promised as a result of the passage of the two bills. It Is expected that the upper river fishers will keep their eyes open for viola tions of thejr law regulating the fish ing on the lower river. The lower river men will return the compliment by keeping close tab on the upper river men and will prosecute all vi olations of their law framed to regu late the upper rlvei fisheries. Be tween the two it is expected that vi olations of the salmon fishing calen dars of the courts along the Colum bia. Recall in Force. It Is now possible for all public of ficials who are not doing their duty under the law and custom to be re called by the voters who are disgrun tled over their failure to fulfil the oath taken. Public Interest Is ot. edge waiting to see which part of the state the recall will strike first. The statute Instructing the mem bers of the legislature to vote for that United States senatorial candi date who receives the highest num ber of votes at the general election Is also a law. It will not be binding upon the members of the legislature elected In Jdne last, though it Is per haps a fact that the members of the house elected from Clackamas coun ty are now In effect doubly bound. Early in the last campaign practi cally all of the Clackamas county candidates for the legislature pledged themselves to abide by the provisions of thj law should It be passed. Later they changed their pledges to a straight subscription to statement Xo. 1. With the passage of the law, however, it would appear that the Clackamas, county men are under a double pledge. The proportional representation amendment Is now In effect, and yet Is not effective. The amendment pro vides for proportional representation but leaves the legislature to wrestle wlfh the manner of securing such representation. Xew County Created. It Is contemplated by the amend ment that the legislature by statute should provide a way of securing Buch representation. It will be up to the next legislature to enact a law put ting Into effect the constitutional amendment. The corrupt practice act Is now a aw and from this time on it Is ille gal to offer cigars to prospective vo ters and political supporters. In fact under the act It Is Illegal to do any thing except silently cast a ballot in the box, or at least nearly as close drawn a condition as that. Grand Juries have come back to the people of the state and the district attorney of any district Is not em powered to sit as a grand Jury from this time on. All Indictments are now to be returned by Juries and the fil ing of all informations on the com plaint of the district attorney Is a thing of the past. Hood River county Is now in good working order and Is running under the administration of a set of offi cials appointed by the governor not long ago. Altogether the. people of the state have quite a batch of new laws to observe. WOMAN GETS DAMAGES. 8uch for $2500 and Is Awarded $707. The trial of suit of Mrs. Llllle Brown against the city of North Yakima, for $2500 damage for personal Injuries sustained through the alleged negli gence of the city In permitting an ob struction to be placed on a sidewalk, wan concluded last night and the Jury this morning returned a sealed ver dict, awarding the plaintiff $767 dam ages, says the Republic Mrs. Brown, while walking along South First street one night last fall, stumbled over a piece of an engine which was standing on the edge of the sidewalk outside of the Yakima (Iron works, and sustained Injuries In cluding the fracture of two ribs. The Save Your Coupons defense, which was conducted by Deputy City Attorney Lockhart, asso ciated with Fred Parker and Thomas rtrady, attorneys for the Yakima Iron ! works, was general In character ami ' denied that any obstruction had been j permitted on the sidewalk by the iron works people. This will be the Issue If the matter comes to trial, between the city and the" Yakima Iron works, as the latter will be required to make good the damages caused by negli gence In placing the obstruction where it caused the accident to Mrs. Brown, contrary to the city ordinance. The claim may be settled without litiga tion. Floyd Hatfield conducted the case for the plaintiff and stated that the verdict Is satisfactory to Mrs. Brown. TRUANCY AT ASTORIA. Only Half of Astoria's Children Are in School. There are only about 1300 pupils In the Astoria public schools now, al though It Is estimated that many more ought to be in attendance, says the Morning Astorlan. The question of the number of pupils In attendance raises an Inter esting problem which the board of education will probably have to con tend with next year far more vigor ously than ever before. The popula tion of Astoria Is Just about 15,000; by the usual method of computing the number of children of school age there should be at least 3000 pupils between the ages of 4 and 20; or, con servatively, there should be approxi mately 2500 children over 6 years of age enrolled in the schools. Hence there were, apparently, hardly more than one-half In actual attendance, one child in every two either run ning the streets or working some where.

The Kansas City Star says of the weed experiment to be made on the O. R. & N lines by General Superin tendent M. J. Buckley: To control to some extent the dust which troubles travelers, M. J. Buck ley, general superintendent of the Ore gon Navigation railroad, purposes to allow weeds to grow along the tracks. It Is estimated that the company spends $40,000 each year In cutting weeds and, Incidentally, keplng soli worked so that weeds catch the dust. Wherever weeds have been allowed to grow dust has never troubled, and this fact has caused Mr. Buckley to try the experiment of allowing weeds and grass to cover the ties, especially the soil at the ends of the ties outside the rails. Hundreds of people who suffer from baokache, rheumatism, lame back, lumbago and similar ailments are not aware that these are merely symptoms of kidney trouble. Pln eules for the kldrfeys act directly on the kidneys, bringing quick relief to backache and other symptoms of kid ney and bladder derangements. SO days' trial tl and guaranteed or mon ey back.

A story Is in circulation to the ef fect that the Gugenhelms have pur chased the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The report can not be confirmed, aays a Seattle report, as John L.

Lyich, treasurer of the Minnesota state democratic committee, a few days ago described John Albert Johnson, governor of Minnesota. He referred to Johnson's early employ ment in a drugstore at St. Peter, Minn., and his subsequent achieve ments for the people of his state. Johnson, who was put out In the eleventh hour to run against Bryan for the democratic nomination for the presidency, has been a clerk In a drug store, auditor for a lumber company, editor of u country new paper, a state senator and finally, governor. He rose from the most abject and cruel poverty, being oblige ed to leave school in his 12th year and go to work so as to keep his mother from continuing the labor of taking in washing to support the family. But through It nil he preserved his optimism and his faith In human nature. Today his character Is a se ries of delightful contracts. He Is conservative In his personal beliefs and tastes, disliking ostentation or display and decrying anything like personal advertisement. Yet, so ; simple is he In his views, that, when he was Introduced to Speaker Cannon J one day In Washington while the house was In session, he took It as ' a matter of course that he should sit on the speaker's desk with his back ' to all the members because there was ' no extra chair on the dais for him. j Wliat He Hiw Done. j He is beloved by the people of Minnesota for having given them a j 2-cent railroad passenger rate and for having delivered the farmers from the extortions of the twine trust. He , Is one of the greatest fighters ever' known when he believes the public is j being victimized, but he can cast from his mind all thoughts of the! erious side of life when the umpire's "play ball!" rings up "to the grand stand. And he knows no greater pleasure than Ice skating. He Is distinctly a "baseball crank." Whenever the St. Paul team plays at home, the governor is on the Job at the stand, cracking peanuts and "rooting" for the team like mad. If per chance, some matter of state keeps him from the game, his pri vate secretary knows It Is his business to get the score by telephone and communicate it to the governor as soon as the last "out" has been call ed. In the winter ho slips off from his office, his skates under his arm, and skims across the Ice for a few hours. When he was at Old Point, Va., last spring, he got into the water without anyone being aware who he was. But he could not resist the tempta tion to turn a back somersault off the springboard Into the waves, and this attracted so much attention that pretty soon his Identity was generally known. An Outdoor Man. Johnson's love of baseball, sk;itlng and swimming explains his healthy inode of thought and his calm, bright outlook on life. What he cherishes in his heart as his Idea of true great ness Is nhown by the following re mark he onre made to a friend: "As a life work, I would rather be able to provide for the needs of a family, enjoy the fellowship of good friends and good books, and write one hook that would be read a hun dred years from now, than to be able to amass all the money in the world. The governor has been a great stu dent and reader all his life. When he was 12 years old and got a place In the drugstore In the little town of St. Peter, he pored over his .books far Into the night. He has kept up this habit ever since. The result Is that, although he. never went to school af- ler mat nrsi employment, he possess es a style In writing and speaking that Is clear, forceful and eloquent. Now 4 7 years of age, he often looks back and recalls that he Is distinct ly a product of the country store and that he owes much of his success, much of his knowledge of hman na ture and all of his democracy to the discussions which went on, night af ter night, when the men of the vil lage were grouped about tho big stove In the drugshop. SupMrteI the Family. One of the things that twice help ed him, a democrat, to carry a nor mally republican state overwhelming' ly for the governorship, was his early history. He started to work at $10 a month, and, as soon as he was get ting $12 he could no longer let his mother work. From that time on, he supported his mother and the oth er children of the family. Later he turned down an offer to play with a professional baseball team at a tempt ing salay. Then he was offeed the editorship of the St. Peter Herald. Like "The Gentleman from Indi ana" he built ills future as he sat In the little office of the town's paper, chronlclling the comings and goings, the births and deaths of his fellow men and women. And he made the editorial column of his paper a real power in that and adjoining counties. Also, like "The Gentleman from In diana," he became a finished speaker and a deep thinker on political sub jects. Thus It came about that the peo- COFFEE Insist on the roaster's name; never mind the country it grew or is said to have grown in. Tew pacer rtrarM yaw SMan M yes Umt HvMOaas'i Bti vest Wat L i.J pie turned to him as deserving politi cal honors. Ho rulers Politics. In 1S98 he was elected state sena tor and again In 1000. In 1904 he was elected governor by a plurality of 8, 000, while Roosevelt carried the state by 161,000. Two years later he was reelected by 8S.000. Among his achievements as governor are cited the Increased assessed valuation of the U. S. Steel corporation In Minne sota, from J32.000.000 to $190,000, 000; a reduction of railway rates from 10 to 30 per cent; 2-cent passenger rate; a free state labor bureau, and a reformed system of taxation. Johnson Is not a "society light." Both he and Mrs. Johnson long ago made up their minds that there was nothing much to be gained by drink ing afternoon tea In unlimited quan tities. Although they havo met all the social demands that go with the gubernatorial office, they have stop ped there. Mrs. Johnson Is as much of a reader and student as the gov ernor, and, when anything of moment comes up, it Is to his wife that he turns for decisive counsel. Xo IJiiii'IIkU for Him. . Naturally modest and retiring, Iohnson r0ntlnuallv obiects to doing tho things his friends want him to do ,n oner to brlng him into the lime- ugllt when they suggest something of a theatrical nature, something that, looks jke pandering for publicity, joiins0n immediately takes to his; heels. Ills political managers tear thelr hair, argue with him and beg,; hut It Is of no avail. 1 For Instance, the subject of his making a speaking tour throughout the country to show himself to the people was brought up. His friends thought it would be an excellent plan, nut right away the Johnson modesty stepped In, and the plan was doomed before it had been half outlined, "I've been elected governor of Minnesota. I'm employed to work for the people of Minnesota, and here I i stay." he said. And all that nrgu- ment nnd pleading could get out of him were two speeches, one In Vir ginia and-one In Alabamn, nnd the Alabama speech was made after the people of that state had refused to In dorse him for the presidency. 8tatt of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lncai Conn tr. m.
