"We hope the senate will de feat the bill, for then perhaps President Roosevelt would get mad enough to declare for a square: deal on the tariff ques tion, as" he has never dared to do as yet. He is tacitly support ing the greatest robbery of the people ever devised and enacted into law on earth, the Dingley tariiT. He must attack the tariff if he is going to accomplish any thing." The above is from an editorial aDDeariner in the leading demo cratic organ 01 the state. The president is designated as "A broncho buster tilting against an engine," and the bill which it is hoped the senate will defeat is the Hepburn bill for the reg ulation of railways, which has passad the house, and is now pending in the senate with excel lent prospect of its passage in unchanged form, In spite , of the opposition of senators in either party who are known to favor the railroads. It is a fair sample of the true att'tude of that portion of the democratic press which is owned and controlled by plutocratic and comoration interests. All its expressions in favor of regu lation of railways and other corporations, all its sympathy for the "dear people" who suf fer from the lawlessness of such corporations are wholly insincere, Now that the prospects are most encouraging, that these corpor ations will be brought under wholesome control, we read: "We hoDe the senate will defeat the bill." But if the bill is de f eated it is because the pres- Merit is tacitly supporting the greatest robbery of the people; Tvn,i,r fn;ff TWnrnch r.he American Deo- Die. ninety-nine hundreths of whom believe in his courage, sincerity and rugged honesty, will be amazed to learn that their nresident is not only a broncho buster" but a knave who consorts with robers and tacitly supports schemes for robbing the people. He, too, must be a veritable dullard or he would see that though the Stan dard Oil Company, the Beef Trust, and the great railway companies are not beneficiaries I of the tariff "he must attack the tariff if he is going to accomplish anything" in the way of railway rate regulation. Here is the point on which we may easily see free-trade and democratic harmony. Here they are agreed to be most consistent ly inconsistent. The people are prosperous ' They understand that no small part of their prosperity is justly ascribed to the principle of pro- tection so wiseiy embodied in the Dingley tariff law. They, the people, are not demanding relkf from tariff robbery, but fro:ii the impositions and unprc tected trusts. Ic is safe to believe that the writer of the language we have quoted never studied the Dingley tariff, never compared it sched ule by schedule with former tariff laws and therefore does not know what he is talking about. WATER ON BOTH SHOULDERS, We are now approaching the season of promise. It is easy to nrAmico onrl o nrnmico rv r I ari era 1 glibly given is readily for gotten. A man of good re pute and intent; may promise too much more than it is within hi s power to fulfill. We are now on the eve of an election once again and must listen to what is It n;. nr.A nArrnnnaA Krr tV i;iumw5u ouu ouivwiicu i YariOUS Candidates for Office. It is well for us while we listen to bear in mind the practicability of what is advocated and weigh it well. A man who lightly promises to pledge himself to the people in the matter of" Statement No. 1" of the new. primary law comes near being an , ignoramus or a knave. We admit that he might be neither like many other things, there are '-.. exceptions. However the constitution of the United States says: f "The -senate of the United States shall be composed of two senators from each- state, chosen by the legislature thereof, for six years." Until the - constitution of ; the United States is changed there can be no law requiring & candi date to pledges himself in the matter of voting who shall be senator from Oregon. It is scarcely within the province of the voters of the state to ignore constitutional law. What is the man who pleged himself to ' 'Statement No . 1" going to do when he takes the following oath? I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States." How can he take this oath when he has pledged himself to do otherwise in the matter of electing a united States sena tor? If he knew nothing of the constitutional law governing this matter, he was ignorant; if he pledges himself to defiance of this law, he is not only a knave, but a 'rickster. Has Splendid Reputation. Dr. Withycombe is head oi the Agricultural College experiment station and as an institute work er he has no equal in Oregon, and his reputation in the work of advancing the standard or agri culture in this state has gained for him commendation from the Department of Agriculture at Washington and the leading farm ers and business men of Oregon n addresses are always given "VP'" words, clear and concise, ana nis statements are so told- as fb5 readily .comprehended?-by his hearers. So well rounded is his fund of information ; on every, phase of agricultural activ ity in. Oregon that no topic is brought up in an institute ?: but what he is abie to speak on it in a manner- that carries ' the impress of a perfect knowledge oi the subject. And he is equally broad in his attainments in otner lines of thought. His genial, optimistic preseace is the life ei the institute and his helpful words of encouragement has given many a farmer new hope and new courage and a tangible plan of bringing success out of his previous failures in making hisjarm work profitable. The above is from the Rogue Rivf r Courrier and but adds to multitudinous expression? of the press tnronghout the state in favor of D. Withycombe as a practical, sensible man of the people. To know him well is to realize that in experience that makes a man broadminded he is tiot lackins?. In character he is above reproach, while in ability he has few equals. Th:s is the man we hone to see the next governor of Oregon and whose support for the office we are pleased to state is growing every day. Another for Judge. A. !r. Williams, of Philomath, filed liis petition for county judge Thursday.

In the Bahama islands there flourishes a tree the roots of which attain to enormous propor tions, often reaching to a height of 15 feet of 20 feet above the sur face of the earth, spreading in all directions, underground as well, in order to obtain sustenance and give support to the trunk and branches. On the tree grow in numerable balls of silky cotton, presenting an almost fairy-like appearance as they glisten in the sunlight. They are in great de mand for stuffing' pillows, being soft as down. The spaces formed by the roots are often quite as large as fair-sized rooms, and, if roofed over, one tree would form a commodious dwelling-place for a family; in fact, it would be in finitely superior to the average native hut. Holes could be cut in the roots to allow of internal communication. Up to the pres ent, however, the natives have not utilized them as . houses, though they are frequently in re quest as stables for horses. ' "Please Smile - AND Look Pleasant. When a woman says."I am racked wltb pain," the word "racked " recalls the days when they stretched the tender bodies ol women on the rack with rope and pulley until the very joints cracked. Fancy an attendant saying to the tor tured woman, "Please smile and look pleasant." . And yet the woman "racked with pain, is expected to smile through her agony and to make home happy. She can't do it. It Is against Nature. Generally speaking, the racking pains of ill-health such as headache, backache and "bearing-down pains "are related to derange: ments or disorders of the organs dis tinetlv feminine.

GRANDMOTHER GREAT HELP Aeed Woman, Proves That One la " Kever Too Old to Be , Useful. rA clear-headed woman of 80 re cently told how her father's moth er went from Maine to Massachu selts to make her home with her son'c family 75 years ago this au tumn. She was so frail that the captain of the small sailing-vessel hardly dared to take her as a pas seriger, tmt eventually found her most helpful in caring for th other storm-tossed travelers, ac cording to Youth's Companion. "Although they had never met," continued the narrator, "my moth er greeted her with the words: 'I am glad you have come.' At this my grandmother broke down, say ing: 'I was afraid you would no be.' Our family was very poor but we soon found her a most he!" f ul addition to it. She taught me, the youngest child, how to sew and to read, and did much to amuse and interest me." The neighbors soon came to like this aged woman, and to send small delicacies to her whenever they had them. The first tomato that her little granddaughter ever saw came in this way. One day the family was startled by the sound of some one falling. "It's in grandmother's room!" cried the little girl's mother, and together they went there, to find that the good old woman had breathed her last. "This was near ly 70 years ago," concluded tne nar rator, "but the recollections of my grandmother are among the most precious of life's memories." This story of the simple ways of early times doubtless has its coun terparts now, written over and : over again every day. As the last quarter rif this century opens Sn 1975, one of to-day's five-year-old may then tell how she learned that a woman is never too oldto find a svelcome if she have tfc welcome spirit.
