There la no reason for hinting at his retirement from the head of the committee, except the abnormal Jealousy of ex-Senator Fulton. The grWlng democratic sentiment In Oregon makes It very necessary for the republican party to be a unit and o,uit flshtlng, if It ever hopes to hold any part of Its prestige In the state, Such movements as this to un seat the reguuarly elected chairman of the state committee will not have a tendency to reduce the democratic sentiment or cement republican unity. The only possible excuse which the Fulton people can have for summar ily removing Mr. Cake from the chair manship of the state committee Is a holing of Jealousy which rankles In their breasts when they think of the credit which will go to Mr. Cake, up on the successful campaign for Mr. Taft in Oregon. Fulton evidently fears that some of the credit for carrying Oregon for Taft will go to Mr. Cake If the latter remains In place as state chairman. Mr. Cake Is a republican of high Ideals and clean record. He has hosts of friends In the state, not only politi cal friends, but personal friends and his removal from the state chairman ship will be one of the most unfortu nate moves ever attempted by a dis gruntled faction In Oregon. a year, and Is edited by Prof. H. W. Campbell, the father of the new move, ment for seml-arld farming which has taken such deep hoid In recent years. The first number Is Illustrated and filled with readable articles oh this kubject. When Secretary Garfield 'of the In terior department, drives over the Umatilla Irrigation project today he will see one of the best tracts of land upon which the government has ex pended nny money for Irrigation. It Is one of the very few projects locat ed upon the main line of any trans continental .railroad; It Is one of the very few projects adjacent to an old settled district where farming under irrigation is something more than an experiment. It Is hoped that he con cedes whatever Is necessary to the early settlement of the project. THE ONLY WAY. THE BATTLE WITH NATURE. WILT IS A "GOOD TIME"? Recently a prominent government official was being entertained at Al bany, Ore., where prohibition Is In effect. The private club which was organized by a select few of the prom inent business men of the city offered to entertain the official and assured him that he would be "shown a good time" and that there was always "something" on tap at the club. But the answer of the official to this suggestion was somewhat dis comfiting. He said that "boozing" formed no part of a good time for him, and especially "boozing" In pro hibition territory. He was somewhat blunt In his remarks, but he said that he believed in the sacredness of the law and that so far he had never con nlved to break a law and that he would not begin at this late period In his life. This brings up the question as to what a "good time" really is. The old habit of filling up on poison for a "good time" is rapidly becoming ob solete. Public men are frowning down the habit; public sentiment has branded it as unpopular and within a few years It will be a rare thing to find men of any prominence sanc tioning the habit or recognizing the drinking of liquor as any part of a "good time." Over In Sherman county, Hatfield, the rainmaker. Is carrying on a vig orous fight with nature for a given amount of rain for that dry section. The papers are filled with Hat field's work and accomplishments. He is watched and lauded and patted on the back, and besides he receives handsome pay for his services In the I will take it away from them?" interest of the dry farming sections.! Constitution won't let us."x , I "Who made the Constitution?" His battle with nature is spectacular i 0ur ancMtors- The Man from Mars wandered Into a mammoth hall packed with people who were engaged In sucking their thumbs and crying for mercy. "What's the trouble?" asked the Man from Mars. "We are cold." answered an ill-clad wretch as he blew on his fingers. "Why don't you put coal In the stove?' 'asked the Man frpm Mars. "We have ho coal." "Rut there Is coal in the -.ground. Why don't you go and dig It out?" "It does ngt belong to us." "To whom does It belong?" "It belongs to a few men." "Well, how can It be secured, then?" "It must be bought, but we have no money with which to buy It." "You say that Individuals own the land containing the coal? How did they get it?" "The law gave It to them.' "Who made the law?" "Our ancestors." "Why don't you make a law which TAXES. TAXES, TAXES. The greatest economic Issue before the people of the world, and especial ly before the people of the United j-'tates, g the question of taxation. Every state in the, Union Is strug gling with this question. The nation al government Is puzzled as to how t'.i levy taxes most equitably for the support of the government machin ery and every community Is harrasned perennially with the same vexing question. There are so many kinds of proper ty, so many valuations and bo many conditions surrounding property that It seems absolutely Impossible under the present system of government to have an equal and uniform system of taxation. Many thoughtful people are strong ly inclined to the belief that ultimate ly the one great solution of the tax question ig the adoption of the land tax, or single tax idea. It In radical and extreme but It offers a solution for the question and seems to place the tax where It belongs, on the real source of wealth, the earth.' and attractive. But there Is another battle being waged in every county in eastern Or egon, a battle of which the papers f.ay nothing, but one of intense in terest and suffering. Out in the dry districts, living In their miserably poor houses, hauling water for household purposes for miles, plowing, sowing and struggl ing along from year to year are hun dreds of deserving settlers on whose uneven struggle no admiring public gazes and of whose efforts no news papers sing songs of praise. There Is nothing spectacular in this struggle with nature. There Is no handsome Income to dull the keen edge of necessity. There Is no admir ing crowd to view the weary soldier on his long marches. It Is a long battle, with his faithful wife as his comrade, and nature, plttlless and in hospitable, for a foeman. In the heat and drought the fight goes on. In the cold and rain drenched winter and spring, he toils without ceasing. Little money Is en Jcyed during the entire year. No "Why don't you take It without law?" "That would be Immoral.' "Who made the morals?" "Our ancestors.". "What are you going to do about It?" asked the Man from Mars, finally. "We have sent for a spiritualist to see If he can't get us some advice from our ancestors." answered the poor wretch. Ellis O. Jones In Life. MONEY IX THE BUSINESS.

They searched out and compounded the different roots, herbs and barks into remedies, many of which have been handed down to succeeding generations, and continuously used with satisfactory result. Among the very best of these old time prep arations is S. S. S., a medicine made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, in such combination as to make it the greatest of all blood purifiers. This absolute vegetable purity of S. S. S. makes it the one medicint that may be used without fear of harmful results In any way. Most blood medicines on the market contain mercury, potash, or some other strong mineral. These act with bad effect on the system, upsetting the stomach, Interfering with the digestion, affecting the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period of time often cause salivation. No such effects ever result from tha use of S. S. S., and it may be taken by children as safely as by older people. For Rheumatism, Catarrh, Soreg and Ulcers, Malaria, Scrofula, Skin Dlseasea, and all other troubles caused by impure or poisoned blood, S. S. S. is a per fect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, impurities, humors or unhealthy matter, and makes the blood pure and rich. It eliminates every particle of the taint of inherited blood trouble, purifies and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and establishes the foundation for good health. S. S. S. is Nature's Blood Purifier, and its many years of successful service, with a steadily increasing demand for it, is the best evi dence of its value in all blood troubles.
