HONOR THE FLAG.
It has been nronerlv said that
the Republican party is entitled
to great credit in the matter of
raising the prestige and influ
ence of the United States abroad
to a position in harmony with
its greatness and ' strength at
home. Eight years ago Ameri
can ministers and consuls, Amer
ican merchants, missionaries and
travelers in all parts of the earth
did not receive the recognition
accorded to those of other great
nations. There was no apprccia
tion of the real standing of the
United States. Our flag was lit
tle known. Our diplomatic
officers failed to receive the rec
ognition given to those of Eng-
land, Geimany and France, or
even Holland and Belgium. Our
merchants who encountered diffi
culties for which they, wer not
responsible received scant satis
faction from foreign officials be
. fore whom- they protested, al
though they saw the merchants
of European countries every
where having their rights pro
tected. Our missionaries, al
though, supported - by united
churches at home suffered indig
nities abroad, while the mission
aries of European churches had
their lives and property safe
guarded on "every hand. Our
travelers, wishing to study, for
, reign parts, never gained any
facilities from saying that they
were citizens of the United
States, while 'the travelers of
European nations were treated
of their respective governments,
'As a result of the policies fol
lowed abroad by President Mc
Kinley and continued by Presi
dent Roosevelt, together with
the prestige gained from the
. Spanish-American war and the ;
conservative in this matter, as: h. W. Kaupiech wer.t down to
other surrounding cities have ' Albany, Saturday Ijr a short visit-
started similar agitation, closed
the contract and have been re
ceiving the benefits of mountain
water several months, and all
while Corvallis has just 'been
talking about it. ; But it is said
where there is so much smoke
there must be fire underneath,
so if we are patient and hold our
breath long enough, perhaps ,a
contract for, drinkable water will
be made during the next generation.

- Thousands of little ones die every year
of croup. Most 01 them could have been
saved by a few doses of Fohy's Honey
and Tar, and every family with children
should keep it iu the house. It contains
no opiates and is sate and sure. Mrs.
George H. Picket, San Francisco, Calif.,
writes: "My baby had a dangerous at
tack of croup and we thought she would
choke to death,, but one dose of Foley's
Honey and Tar relieved her at once after
other remedies had failed. We are nev
er a minute without it in the house."
