torily. 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.

Campbell, the father of the new move,

taken such deep hoid In recent years.

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."

The Man from Mars wandered Into
a mammoth hall packed with people
who were engaged In sucking their

"What's the trouble?" asked the

"We are cold." answered an ill-clad
wretch as he blew on his fingers.
"Why don't you put coal In the

"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

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

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

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

and attractive.
But there Is another battle being
waged in every county in eastern Or

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

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

from our ancestors." answered the

A SAFE AHD RELIABLE BLOOD PURIFIES
In the time of our forefathers the forests and fields were the only labor
ttories from which they could procure their medicines. 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. Book on the blood and any medical
advice free of charge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLAJf TA, GA.
