I'irt!anl people have b'-en brought Iacf to f ice recently with the dusty, cob-webbf Sunday closing law and the experience h;i made them do Kcmt thinking. Regarding the antl o.u:ited nieayure the Journal has th following: E J The Sunday law, as to most of the prohibited kinds of business, wag not passed because either a majority of the people or of the legislature desir ed s'jr h a law. Hut members of tho legislature knew that to refuse to puss such a law would offend a con siderable number they dared not do. of the voter were Indifferent, bo cause they did not suppose nuch a law would ever be enforced. A small minority realously In favor of a law can get It through, . because this mi nority can hurt the politician, while most people pay little or no attention to the matter. The saloons iihould be closed on Sunday, for reason often stated. They u re In a claw by themselves. So should all places where youth con gregate to Indulge In anything vic ious. As to the rest. It Is unreasona ble to deprive the public of Innocent lecreation and refreshment on the wtekly rest day. This Is not a Turl tan country and nobody should have a right to dictate to another How he shall spend Sunday, so long as he be haves ueceliliy aiUl does not offend common sense morals. lil liDKXS OF Till'. MIGHTY. An interesting Insight into the woes of the presidency Is given in a cur rent magazine. It Is contained In a statement from ex-President Tleve l. nd who sat for eight years in the seat of power and retired amid a t rrent of abuse that did not cease until he died: "A sensitive man Is not happy as president. " Mr. Cleveland is quoted as saying. "It is fight, fight, fight all the time. He Is the target of every kind of calumny. Everything he does Is open to misconstruction. His en emies are Incessant. It Is impossible for him, If he Is conscientious, to keep the affection of his friends. 1 boked forward to the close of my ti rm as a happy release from care. Tut I am not sure that I wasn't more happy out of office than In. A term iii the presidency accustoms a man to great duties. He gets used to handl ing tremendous enterprises, to organ izing forces that may affect at once and directly the welfare of the world After the long exercise of power, the "lt"nary affairs of life seem petty and commonplace. An ex-president practicing law or going Into business is like a locomotive hauling a deliv ery wagon. He has lost his sense of proportion. The concerns of other p -ople and even his own affairs seem too small to be worth hothrrlns about. I thought I was glad when Mr. McKlnley came to Washington to be Inaugurated, and I took a drink of ! rye whiskey with him In the White House and shook hands with him .'nd put my hat on my head and walked out a private citizen. But I miss the strain, the spur of constant I thinking, the consciousness of power. !the knowledge that I was acting for j The presidential campaign Is inter-let-ting, but the people of Umatilla I county have some local "issues' that late of equally vital importance. Among these may be mentioned tho ! movement for a new commercial ciub; the expose of summer fallow and the crusade against the big farm; the campaign for a branch experi ment station and the whereiiess of the publicity bureau. There are some people in this coun ty and in Morrow, who have not yet attended the fair: If they continue to stay away a double loss will be In curred the loss of much profitable enjoyment to themselves and to the fair, their patronage. No enterpris ing, loyal resident of either county I can afford to miss the fair entirely. (HTOIiKIl DAYS.

I.F.K'S MOTIIF.U WAS M'ltlKD Al.lYK The 101st anniversary of the birth of General Hubert K. I-ee recalls the little known fact that he was born more than a year after his mother had been burled, furnishing to the world one of the most astonishing cases of revivlscence on record. General Ie'a mother was by no means an entirely healthy woman and the physicians at Stratford, Va., the home of Henry I.ee (Light Horse Harry) was kept in constant attend ance. Mrs. Lee suffered from cata lepsy and during a prolonged trance she was pronounced dead. The body was piepared for Inter ment, und the morning of the third day after supposed death the remain were laid in the family vault in the graveyard of that pretty little Vir ginia village. Members of the family made fre quent visits to thi' vault, and whil.; the sexton was cleaning up and ar ranging some flowers to be placed on the casket he heard some one calling tor assistance. Of course the old man was some what alarmed, but as he had seen many years of service In the city of the dead, he did not leave the vault. He listened closely and the voice was distinctly heard again. Becoming- satisfied that the voice came out of the casket he at once set to work and opened It, discovering that Mrs. Lee was alive. Releasing the poor woman from her awful fate, assistance was soon summoned and within a short time she was. safe In bed at her home. Mrs. Lee's recovery was slow, but she regained good health and a little more than a year after she was buried alive her youngest son, Robert K, was born, and thus came Into the world one of her greatest men.

When she had careles.-iy asktd the sroeer the price of pineapples, and he had answered 2l rents apiece, she threw up her hands and exclaimed: "Twenty cents: Will you just think of that?" "Very scarce, ma'am," said the gi ocer. "Ah. but If I had a husband with the business head on him that I've got I'd be selling you pineapples by the thousand Instead of asking the price." "Yes?" "It's not five years n"' that a man came along and offered my husband 100 acres of pine land in the Adron ilacks for $10 an acre, and we had the money in the house to pay for it," "And go to raising pineapples, eh?" queried the grocer, with ejt a smile. "What else, sir? I told my, hus band to barkain at once, but while t was out asking how many pineapples we could reckon on to a pine tree he let the fellow get away from him and we've never seen him since. I'm saying to you that there's nothing like a business head ui a man or wo iihiii, and being here I'll take a dozen clothes pins and count 'em out my self. As I was saying.

As 30 per cent of the Kansas-made flour Is put through the nrtlclclal bleaching process the millers of the state are not apt to find any great amount of Dr. Crumblne, secretary of the Kansas board of health, be cause of his crusade against bleach ed flour. As to whether the bleaching of flour Injures It or not Is a question yet under discussion. Some millers contend that It does, some that it does not. It Is understood that Dr. Crum blne has not yet com eto a final con clusion on that point. In one of the northern states, South Dakota, at the experiment station, ex tensive experiments have been made to ascertain whether the procss of bleaching the flour really injures It or not, and the conclusion to which they came was that It does have nn Injurious effect. Dr. Crumblne will probably have the same experiments made In Kansas, and If the same re sults are found Kansas millers will be prohibited from bleaching flour for sale In Kansas. Whether or not It Is found that tho process of bleaching Injures the flour Secretary Crumblne Is sure to make the millers label bleached flour as such.

SI FJiEUMATISM Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which is carried through the circulation to all portions of the system. Kvery muscle, nerve, bone Hinl joiut absorbs the acrid, pain-producing poison, causing aches, inflammation, stiffness and other well known symptoms of the disease, reruianeut relief from the pains and dineomfoit (f Rheumatism cannot be expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and other external treatment which does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Such measures pive temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the uric acid and inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S S. S. cures Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood purifier. It ocs down into the circulation, neutralizes the uric acid and drives it from the blood. S. S. S. expels the irritating, inflammatory matter which is causing the pain, swell ing and other discomfort, enriches the weak, sour blood, and permanently cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic, S. S.

Interest on Time Deposits. Safe Deposit Boxes for Rent. Bilious Troubles Bile causes no end of trouble. Sick headaches, bilious attacks, jaundice, constipation and many distressing ailments arise from an excess of bile, or from obstruction of the bile duct. Inactivity, sedentary occu pations and indiscretion in feeding and drinking are bile blunders that need to be guarded against. When the liver is disordered the best bile correctives are because they relieve the overworked liver, and gently stimulate it when it is sluggish. These pills control the flow of bile, restore its right con sistency, and work for the immediate and lasting benefit of the stomach, bowels and blood.
