OUR MISIS1ERS.
It u a matter of wisdom for a
man who has expectations of some
day reprasehting his country as
consul or minister at some foreign
government to keep his opinions
of other people to himself. To talk
wisely and with truth of the
children of other cl'mes may not,
after all, be wise. To talk wise
ly may be to talk too much. Too
much chatter may spell ruination
to the aspirations of some really
capable man.
And yet how are a man's
capabilities in the world of
diplomacy te be recognized if he
talks not? Another riddle. At
various times men appointed by
the government of the United
States have proved distasteful to
the people of the country to
which they have been sent and
they have been recalled. Again
it had been found after their ap
pointment as our representative
in a certain country that they
were not acceptable to that
people and they were kept at
home, or else sent to some other
' country.
Perhaps the hardest people for
us to please in this line is Ger
many. Let a German come to
this country and become a citizen
and, no matter what his attain
ments may be, he is not accept
able as a consul from this ' coun
try to Germany. And yet one
would suppose that on account of
being a German, knowing the
people by instinct, knowing the
conditions there, versed in the
manners and customs of the
people and speaking their tongue
such a man would be the most
acceptable. Not so.
The fact that such person had
elected to foreswear the Father
land is looked upon in the light
of an offense and his presence is
obnoxious to the nostrils of the
kaiser. It is deemed almost an
insult for us to send such a per
son to Germany as our repre
sentative. It matters not that
owing to many reasons such
Americanized German from our
point of view is our most fit re
presentative and that no offense
by us is intended in the least de
. gree, the matter is no go.
Many countries remember, in
fact gather and place on file, the
utterances accredited our public
men as relate t;o opinions of the
people of the respective govern
ments. On account of having
access to records of this character
Germany recently refused to ac
- cept J. Martin Miller as our con
. sul at Aix-la-Chapelle.
This act is not construed in any
way as insulting to our people,
but is looked upon as an act in
which Germany is justified; a
matter in which she is exercising
a right Mr. Miller had been
prominent as- a newspaper cor
respondent and had to his credit
many interviews with noted men
and much that did not redound
to German glory. He did not
' hold the people of Germany in
'. high esteem and hesitated not in
-expressing himself in the matter.
On this account Mr. Miller was
not acceptable to that people as
our consul and he has been re
moved and given a post at Auck
land, N. Z. We do not blame
the German people in this mat
ter, for we realize that a son of
the Fatherland who hd to his
credit many caustic "flings" at
the Yankees would not find favor
with us were he sent here as a
consul from Germany.
NOB WA Y VS . S WEDEN.
.In this immediate . section of
the state there are few Scandin
avians and there, is little ap
preciation of the fact relative to
the rupture between Norway and
Sweden. Of the people of these
countries it must be admitted
that they are good citizens. They
are more peaceable than warlike;
they attend their own affairs;
they are industrious and frugal
and as a class find ready ad
mission to any country. They
are to the manner born.
They at no time have settled
along the Atlantic sea-board to
any extent, but seem ever to
have preferred the great West
on their advent in this country.
The exact . difference between
Norway and Sweden seems little
known to the people, of the
United States and on this ac
count the Minneapolis Journal
recently sent a special commis
sioner, in the person of its man
aging editor, to Norway and
Sweden in order that some in
sight might be obtained of the
real character of the difficulty.
While there has been much
feeling between the two coun
tries, it is asserted that wiser
counsel prevailed and there is no
longer any possibility of a war
between them. It is stated that
King Oscar is absolutely against
war on any grounds he will not
lend an ear to any such proposi
tion. Such being the case it
looks like the differences between
the countries would be settled by
their representatives agreeing to
disagree and ending the matter
at that.
In the past many highly color
ed reports have been sent broad-
case tnas war was almost a cer
tainty, in fact, that along the
borders men were awaiting or
ders to b egm hostilities. There
was nothing in such report' ac
cordingto the Minneapolis gentle
man sent to investigate.
The prospects are that for
time the people of Norway and
Sweden will drift along in a sort
of pout with one another. They
will be a prey to petty jealousies,
but in the end will agree to agree
mate up, come to an understand
ing among themselves along sane
lines and there will be peace and
harmory henceforth.
PICK FLAWS.
Labor Law Questions
, In Court.
Come Up
The child labor law passed by
the last legislature was attacked
recently in the State Circuit
Court at Portland by Attorney
W. 1. Muir. The attorney
made some timely and caustic re
marks on the law as applied to
Doys. i be matter is plainly se
lortn by tbe Telegram, as fo
lows:
The constitutionality of th
child labor law passed by th
last session of the Oregon L,egis
lature was attacked this morning
in the btate Circuit Court by At
torney W. T. Muir, who char
acterized the law as the most v
cious act on the Oregon Statute
books. He brought up the
question m an argument before
Judge Sears in the case of the
State against John F. Shorey
manager f the City Delivery &
Messenger Company, who is ac
cused of employing boys under
the age ot sixteen years lor more
than ten hours per day, ffontrary
to the provisions of the law. He
argued that the law was incon
sistant with the &tate constitution
in its provisions and ,spirit and
iaicu aninuruy in support Ol his
contention. ...
"Suppose a bov under i
wants to cut some wood before
i .1.. . . .
u ciuck in me morning," said
Mr. Muir. "He must go to
county jail. The law says he
cannot work before that time
Suppose a bo-s wants to make
$8 to $io a month watering
lawns in the summer evenings
He cannot do it. The law savs
he must not work after 6 o'cloc
in the evening. If that law were
enforced as it stands it . would be
the most absurd thing in history
There are thousands ot simili
illustrations of the inadvisabllitv
of the law."
Mr. Muir argued that the pur
pose of framing the law was to
protect the health of children, by
keeping them out of sweat-shops
and other places of employment
injurious to their health., But it
was so broad, he said, that it de
feated all good purposes which
may have inspired its enactment
nd abrogated privile'ts -naici.-
eed by the constitution of 'tie'
tate and of the -ILiited S'ate
He- stated that the provisions of
the law were in violation of ser
tion i, article i of the state cor -
stitution and section i of the 14th
amendment of the Federal Ccn.
stitution. . " ' - '
The law provides that a boy
under the age of 16 cannot work
more than 10 hours peT day, ot
before 7 o'clock in the uionnrje-
or after six o'clock in the even
ing, and not le tmp'ojed at fell
without a schooling ceitificale.
Mr. Muir sail tinier these pro
visions and the exter t to which
ley might be applied an A'mer-
Cin boy of ability and with a
pint of enterprise had no mote
rights now than a boy iu ''dark
est Russia."
"The law takes the boy out of
he control of his parents, his
natural j;uardians, who shoul 1 Lk
the best judge of how he should
be employed, and gives the ej
ection of his empIoyin2ut to
some school superintendent or
other officer of some kind who
knows nothing about his temper
ament or his tastes," declared the
attorney.
Deputy District Attorney Rob.
Galloway, prosecuting officer of
the Juvenile Court, Defended the
constitutionality of the law. He
held that since the law was
nacted it must be enforced and
was not unconstitutional in its
provisions. He said there was
no law which was of benefit to
a people at large which did not
work a hardship on some cne.
He argued that the character of
the work that the messeneer
boys did, especially those em
ployed after 6 o'clock, in viola
tion of this law, was not such as
to better their character.
The case was argued entirely
on legal points, there being no
introduction of evidence, as the
facts were not disputed. Judge
Sears took the case under ad
visement. His drcision wiil be
of considerable importance, as
this in, in tfrVc!-, a test case, and
if the law is upheld it will effect
the messenger companies and
many other firms very material-

WAKES WEAK WOMEN , STRONG
AND SICK WOMEN WELL.
Forty years atro, Dr. Pierce searched
Katvre's laboratory for a remedy with
which to supplant the ignorant and vi
cious methods of treatment, w-ith alco
holic stimulants, then in vogue, and still
too commonly prescribed and advised for
woman's peculiar ailments.
Nature abounds with most efficient rem
edies, and in Lady's Slipper root, Iilack
Cohosh root. Unicorn root. Blue Cohosh
root and Golden Seal root, Dr. ' Pierce
found medicinal properties, which when
extracted and preserved by the use of
chemically, pure glycerine, have proven
most potent in making weak women
strong and sick women well. . It contains
no alcohoi; is not a "patent medicine,"
nor a secret one cither.
"I was sufferins with nervous headache,
pains in the back and dizziness, so that at
times 1 had to lie down for hours before I
could raise my head." writes Mrs. Marv M.
Thomas, of 337 Winston Street. Los Angeles,
CaL "After taking the first bottle of 'Fa
vorite Pregnrivtiim," however. I was so pleased
with the results that 1 kept on taking it until
J was restored to health and strength. I
shall never be without this great medicine,
and k'j all take a few doses when 1 do not
feel strong."
One of the principal uses of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the preparation
of prospective mothers for the time of
trial and danger that comes when a child
is born. The "Prescription" is strength
ening and invigorating and lessens pain
and danger. It insures the perfect well
being and the perfect health of both
mother and child. Every woman should
know these things before she realty needs
to know them. There are many things in
Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad
viser, that every woman ought to know.
