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.

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

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.

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

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. When you need to take something
take It promptly for the stomach,
but take something you know Is re

guaranteed to give relief. It Is gold

Kaiwm City Star Comment on Work
of Oregon RailrotuI Man.
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.

POSSIBILITIES
St. raul, Minn., June 30. "Hy far
the best medicine that ever came out
of a drugstore."
This Is the way Frederick B.
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.

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.
