While some New Englanders are demanding tariff revision, an increasing number of enter prising and progressive men. in the South are favoring adher ence to the policy of a protect ive tariff. The change in south ern sentiment in this particular is very noticeable and highly significant. President Roosevelt's personal popularity in the bouth is no doubt working wonders among the people of that section in re spect to their attitude toward political issues and parties. The fact that the republican party advocates protection and the further fact that its most con spicuous representative at the present time is President Roose velt makes many southern men feel more kindly toward the or ganization. They may not be prepared to announce themselves as republicans, but they certain ly no longer look upon a south ern republican as a trator to his section of the country. Industrial development in the South is, however, chiefly re sponsible for the growing senti ment in favor of protection. . Cotton manutacturing and the production of iron and steel have increased enormously, and thus a manufacturing class composed of both capitalists and laborers has developed in that section. It is but natural if these people are so much in favor of protection as their competitors in other parts of the country. Denver "Republican." FATAL YEAR FOR BOSSES. Very Interesting Communication From the Metropolis. Portland, Oregon, Feb. 12, 1906. Ed. Gazette: The cat is out ol the sack at last. No, that is not exactly correct. He is not exactly out, but can be seen plainly. The old fellow has had his head sticking out for some time. He has been waiting for a favorable opportunity to make the jump. That time has nearly armed, tie was sa:ked p some mouths ago by parties who thought it prudent not t have him squalling around until the lawn was fully cleared and all things in rtadiness. His name is E. L. Smith, and he wants to be governor. We have no authoiitv to make this statement, for Mr. Smith denies that he is a candidate and says that he has not at any time consented to run. But he add ed: "I may come out, should my friends insist upon it, but 1 do not want the office unless there is a general desire for me to have it." Mr. Smith is an honest man and we give him credit for try ing to believe that he is telling the truth, and lor not knowing ho.v ;utly he is humbugging himself. He does not thick it is wise to let it be known that he wants the office and is showing a .,ccics of modesty by denying the fact. This modesty is induc ed by the same mental traits that .induces a coy maiden to declare that she despises the opposite sex u -ik' the is almost dying for a lover. This once peculiar phen omena is getting to be quite com mon and no longer deceives any one but its individual victim. Mr. Smith really believes that he is a modest man and more en titled to respect than he who comes out boldy and makes his ambition known. Should he be nominated and elected we believe that he woul 1 make a good gov ernor out of bimelf if he could. But he would of tinly enter the race wondei: .:iy handicap ped. He is one of the old-time Oregon politicians one who has 'sot" in its councils and partici pated in its legislation while his tmtv was being betraved, dis- ine inhered and disgraced. He has heard all, ; known all the party managment of. which re publicans are now complaining. His modestv has prevented him from speaking out while de-1 structive political intrigues and betrayals were being carried on by his colleagues. He is now being supported by many honest men who think that he could be elected.- But these are net the ones 'who initiated the move ment and are prime factors in it. The men who conceived the idea of running; Mr. Smith, and who for some time have been getting little hints about it in the papers, and who are now organizing a systematic canvass of the stater to g?l signatures to a petition ask ing him to run, are men who have no standing aside from a political ring that has?t already disgraced the state and - against which the present primary elec tion law is but an act of rebel lion. What means the statement in today's Uregoman, that sucn a petition might induce Mr. Smith to become a candidate? What can it mean but that the state is being canvassed by these men and their dupes, that every pre cinct will be visited and that the people will be urged to sign for Mr. Smith until such an array of signatures are secured that Mr, Smith, of Hood River, shall at last be induced to enter the race and appear before the people as the already-chosen governor? . Indignation must pause for a moment while we admire the genius who planned this marvel ous method to defeat the intent and spirit of the primary election law. The next move on the boards will be apparently as in nocent as the last. There will in 'a few davs appear in some of the Portland papers, probably on the editorial page of the Oregon ian, something like this: "Re quests, petition?, and even sup plications, have poured in pray ing for Mr. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, to become a candi date for governor until he has re luctantlv consented to become martyr to the cause of good gov ernment and allow his name to be used." We esteem Mr. mitn as an honorable gentleman and regret to feel compelled to say these things, but this is a republican state and should have a republi can governor. We do not be lieve any man wlso has been prominently identified with the political rings which have wrought such havoc in our party can at this time beat Governor Chamberlain for governor. We do not believe he can easily be beaten by any republican whom the people themselves select for the race. But the bosses must keep hands off. G. A. Waggoner People' May Enact. There will be ten initiative petitions, constitutional amend ments and referendum petition to be voted on at the June election. Through the failure of several to secure the necessary number of signatures, there will be no two conflicting measures, as has been feared would be the case. Those measures that have re ceived the required number of signatures are as follows: The $1,000,000 appropriation bill passed by the legislature and held up by referendum petitions. The local option bill proposed by the Liquordealers' Association as an amendment to the present local option law, aud .which prac tically enacts ihe Jayne's bill. The bill filed by the owners of tne Barlow road, requiring the state to buy the road for the -urn ot $2,400. The proposed constitutional amendment filed by the equal suffrage league, extending the elective franchise to women. jx Diu Dy tae people's power league making it unlawful for public service corporations to give passes or lree or reduced rate ser vice to public officials. ' ' A bill by the state grange, levying a license tax upon the gross earnings of refrigerator and sleeping cars and oil companies. A constitutional amendment proposed by the People's Power I,eague to amend section 1 of article 12 so that the public printing will be entirely within the control of the legislature, and mav b? let bv contract, or a printer elected or appointed, up- on a salary or. otner compensa tion. , An amendment proposed - by the People's Power League to amend article 4 of the constitu tion s that the referendum . may be demanded upon any- item or section of a bill, and extend ing the rights of - initiative and referendum to municipalities. An amendment proposed by the - people's" power league to amend sections 1 and 2 of article 17, so that one ? legislative as sembly may submit constitution al amendments, and that when the vote upon an amendment has been canvassed by the governor and a majority found in its favor he shall procltim it adopted and it shall then be a part of the con stitution, beyond the power or the court to ' pass ; upon: also that no law for a constitutional convention shall be in force un til approved by a vote of the people. An amendment proposed by the people's power league to amend section 2 of article 11, giving the legal voters ot a mu nicipality power to frame and adopt their own ;charter and forbiding the legislature to create municipal corporations. Ex. Now Blind. Old-timers will learn with re gret that Jacob Frantz, who for years was a freighter between Corvallis and Yaquina bay in the days before the railroad, has be csme totally blind as the result of an unsuccessful operation on his eyes. The Telegram tells the story as follows: Tacob Frantz, an old soldier and well-known resident, of To ledo, Lincoln county,', has just been totally deprived of his sight through an unsuccessful opera tion lor "cataract" at a local hos pital. Frantz, who served in the Forty-sixth Ohio nfantry for a good portion ot the war, was wounded twice, and has been given a $i2-a-month pension He is 75 years old, and this pen sion is about all the income he has to maintain him. He was asked today if he would go to the poor farm of Lincoln county. "No, sir," he cried emphatic ally, "I'll put a bullet through mv brain first." He. could have his pension in creased were be to swear that his blindness is a result of service in the army, but this he will not do as he cannot conscientiously He is a bachelor and for' nearly 40 years nas been engaged in teaming in what is now Lincoln county. For many years h freighted from Corvallis to Ya quina Bav, before the railroad was built. "When the surgeons removed the cataract from my eye caught a glimpse of the blue sky and I felt happy," he said, "but next morning all was dark and the surgeons admitted that the operation was a failure. I have no tault to find with them, how ever, as thev did all they . could for me." Dr. v. J. Urown says that 95 out ot 100 sucn operations are successful, and he attributes the failure of this to the condition ot Franz's blood, which was sus ceotible to icflammation. Pat Crowe Acquitted. Omaha, Feb. 16. The jury in the trial of Pat Crowe, charged vs-ith the robbery of Edwxrd Cudahy, the Omaha picker, of $25,000 in "connection with the kidnaping of the latters' son five years ago, this atternoon, after 15 hours' deliberation, brought in a verdict of not guiltv. The kidnaping of Eddie Cud ahy, December 19, 1900, and his release upon the payment by his father of $25,000 ransom created a great sensation, and the search for the kidnapers was stimulated at the time by the offer of a re ward of $50,000 by Mr. Cudahy. It was the belief of authorities that Crowe and James Callahan were the guilty parties, but no trace of them could be found un til about a year ago, when Calla han was arrested. He was identi fied by young Cudahy as one of his captors, but was released on trial, as it could not be shown that he received any of the money and there was at that time no law making the kidnap ing ot a person over 10 years ot age a ciime. Last October Crowe was ar- ADVANCE SPRING ARRIVALST New Wash N ew, White Goods. New Dress Goods. New Embroideries. New Table Linens. . New Dress and Walking: Skirts New Jackets. New Infant's Wear.

A few days ago the following dispatch was sent to the Salem Statesman from Philomath: After the usual mid-winter shutdown, the Benton County Lumber Company's sawing plant near Mary's Peak and planer near town have resumed opera tions. Both plants employ about fifty men. General Manager S. Ewing claims that the range of fine large timber in the mountains is sufficient to supply the mills for many years to come. To the keen disappointment of the Philomath business fraternity comes the announcement that the Albany stage run will be dis continued on the 15th inst., at least between Corvallis and Philo math. Since in December the stage has been arriving here with mail at 10:30 a. m., leaving here at 4:30 p. m. This arrangement made it possible for those receiv ing mail by stage in the morning and by train at 2:15 p. m. to mail answers to communications the same day. It has been rumored that the C. & E. Ry. will give a train service to compensate discon tinuance of stage runs. THE LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS. Not very many years ago alcohol was used for lighting in combination with . other fluids under the name of "Cam phene," but it suf fered banishment because it was too dangerous. Alcohol is gener ally harmful when taken in the form of medicine, espe- rx -7 . . cially to a delicate -"5 system. Dr. Pierce's -lis-Kfi-rrhwihiinn and. function-strengthening plan of treatment is following after Xature's plan. He uses natural remedies, that is native medidnal roots, prepared by processes wrought out by the expenditure of much time and money, without the use of alco hol, and by skillful combination in the most exact proportions. Used as one of the active ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, black cheeetbakk specially exerts its influence in cases of lung and bronchial troubles, and this "Pisco veey" is, there fore, a sovereign remedy for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindred ailments. The names of the medidnal ingredients of this world-famous remedy are: Golden Seal root, Queen's root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot and Man drake root. "I have had such a wonderful experience wltb Dr. Piorce s Golden Medical Discovery that I do not hesitate to recommend it. be lieving it to be a wonderful medicine to build up the tissues of the system," writes Miss Bessie Brown, Secretary Emerson Literary Association. 426 Kerman Avenue.
