FOR THE PUBLIC. The day is coming all too soon wiicn Dlie term "public domain" will be but an echo of by-gone days in the United States. For years the policy of land-grabbing has been practiced until to day thousands upon thousands of acres are owned and controlled by both corporation and individ ual interests. Many thousands of these acres lie in wait for speculative purposes, while hon est American-born men are are denied even land enough up on which to build their cottages. This is not right nor in accord with the ideas of the masses of our better citizens. President Roosevelt has made it very plain that his idea is that there must be an extension of federal power in order to curb the aggressions of predatory wealth and to regulate corpora tion. It appears that there is good grounds for the president's view. Perhaps by an enlarge ment of the powers of the feder al government means could be found for the protection of the public domain. Thousands of acres of land now lying in a state of barren ness and waste should be con erted into fertile farms. Some means should be found for doing this. The greater number of farms the richer the nation and the citizens thereof. We have 85,000,000 people 6,000,000 farms one farm for every fourteen persons. Double the farms and you quadruple the wealth and p.vwer of the people and afford the means for the creation of a nigner lite and more stable gov ernment. SAINTS, "Be good and you'll be happy." is an ancient saw. Ah, me! Just so, but what one per son conceives to be alright is frowned down by some other person who is a self-appointed authority on "goodness," and de sires to act as a guide through all the avenues leading toward saintliness. Some people are forever "getting struck" by something; it may be by light ning, peculiar traits of genuine "cussedness," or it may be they are struck by the idea that they are the personification of all goodness, and wisdom, too. The latter class are the most sickening of any to a person of well-balanced mentality. Assum ed sugary, saintly qualities are nauseating to people of good sense. This class are eternally attempting to convey the im pression that they are too good to do this or that thing, when they sneakingly perpetrate hypo critical acts beneath the dignity of any self-respecting citizen of honest purpose. From what they assume in the role of "goodness" the conclusion is that they are too good for this world and the average person experiences gen uine sorrow and regret that these earthly saints have not long since been wafted to those pearly shores where their angelic qual ities would be appreciated and where the creatures themselves would feel more at home. Life is too short for these peo ple to attend their own affairs they must meddle in their neigh bor's business. No place is too sacred for them to intrude their inquisitive snouts. Whatever they do. that you should do or be rated as a sinner of the great est magnitude. Tney act some what in the style of the Puritan Fathers who came to this coun try to escape what they consid ered religious persecution. . When tuese good old Puritans had siir-- pd the yoke that galled and were in circumstances such as would be expected to make them broad of mind, especially in view of their experiences, what did they do? ..Did they grant to ! others the privilege which they fled the Old World - to enjoy? Not a' bit of it. They became as tyrannical, especially in inatters of religion, as they had consider ed those whom they had former ly looked upon as their persecu tors. All about us we find those of assumed "goodness," who, had they but the power, would make each and all of us do their sweet will, regardless of the fact that this is supposed to be a land of the free, and we a people of independent thought and action. Human nature changes slowly, if at all, for on every hand we find the qualities of the Puritan Fathers in evidence. Because of improved ideas of men and wo men whole communities are af fected and the more timid act hypocritically, while those of sterner metal are "blacklisted" by these saints of earth. The highest aim in life should be to live to the purer and better ideals, each individual for him self. Make of yourself, not a hypocrite, but a true, honest and sincere man or woman, fearing not rhe cant of those who assume divine qualities and superior wis dom. Should you have a religion live it truly in your every day life; do what you conceive to be right and do not be effected by the ravings or railings of crea tures weaker than yourself. Be liberal and live a free, but pure life. Follow the teachings of the Golden Rule and fear naught. Real Estate Transfers. E L, Davis and wife to M B Rankin, i6o acres s of Philomath; $iooo.

E. of Peoria, and Misses Nelle and Gladys ot Cor vallis, Daniel and Clark, two sons of Oxford, Iowa, T. C. Marvin of Marengo, la., a daugh ter of Oxford, la , and another one of Brooklyn, li.

The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon at 2 p. m. at the Pres byterian church, under the aus pices of the A. F. and A. M., conducted by Rev. C. L. Mc Causlaud. Many iriends were present to honor the departed and sympathize with the living. Interment was in Crystal Lake cemetery. Did Corn Cause Death? Whether or not canned corn cpust-d the sudden death of Mrs. J. W. D.iygett and her seven year-old son a few -lays ago, near Lebanon, is a question not vet tully settled. Tne report of the state health officer is to. be ob tained on the subject and the re sult will be awaited with inteits; by thefgeneral public. ' These deaths of Mr.: Daggett and her! son ' were sudden and violent, and three chickens on the Daggett ranch ate of the corn and d'fd in a short t;me, which drew attention to the canned stuff as a possible cause ot the deaths. Speaking of tte matter an Al bany paper says: Substance taken from the vic tims of the sttange : malady -wis forwarded to the health officer in Portland by the local physician in charge, and a report cf the examination is expected to be received soon, which may deter mine the nature of the disease which brought about death. Yesterday the beans of the three chickens which died soon after eating canned corn thrown out bv Mrs. Daggett, were ordered sent to this city from Lebanon, and an examination will be conduct ed to ascertain, if possible, whether the fowls did not die from the same cause as Mrs. Daggett and child.

PARENTS' MEETING. Was a Success Some of the Features Enjoyed. A big day was spent at Wells last, Saturday at ttfie Parents' Mating- " Tuere was a literary program fnrnisbed by the Soap Creek and Wells schools. The numbers were all nicely rendered, and were enjoyed by all. The regular program consisted of reg ular discussions of educational subjects, in touch with the school. Sup't Denman explain; d the big Fair next year. An intense in terest is everywhere manifested on the part of pupils and pareuts. From present prospects it will be a hummer, and the exhibits will open the eyes of all of Benton. R.N. Wiiliamson took the subject "Agriculture in Public Schools." He showed the im portance and the necessity that the elements of agriculture be taught to the , boys and girls. He thought that in order to do this wors properly, the large amount ot money annually appro priated to the state schools should be diverted to the public schools. Spend less for Normals and more for the common school was his theme. Prof. L. B. Baldwin took as his subject "Pub'ic Spirit in our Public Schools." The wav he handled the subject showed his intense interest m educating the masses. Among the many salient points advanced were: Don't be so miserly as to vote down every effort to vote a strull tax to educate your spirit; have larger and bet er kept grounds; pay your teachers better salaries; have longer terms of school ; see j that the teacher has the neces- aary apparatus to work with; seej (.0 it that you do not antagonize he teacher lor punishing your child. To not favor any of thes.- poiuts is to be against public policy. Even From the Mountain". Baliard's Snow Liniment is praised for the good it does. A sure cure for Rheu matism and all pains.

An Anti-Trust Law, Smith of Umatilla has intro duced into the senate an anti trust law that will, if passed, put a stop to all sort3 of "trust" propositions in Oregon. Combining to fix the price that any dealer must pay for any ar ticle is especially forbidden. The provisions of the bill are so ex tensive in their scope as even to prohibit agreements to fix the fees of physicians, lawyers, rates and terms of loaning money, and other combinations of like char acter. Should the bill be placed on the statute books, it is claimed for it that it would prevent the operations in this state of combi nations like the Standard Oil, and all manner of trusts. Senator Smith says that the persecutions of the Standard Oil in Missouri are being conducted under very similar statute?. Special provisions for the en forcement of the terms of the bill are made. The neglect or refusal of any district attorney to prosecute violators of the pro posed law not only lays the offi cial liable to criminal prosecution but operates as a forfeiture of his office. Among the provisions of the bill is one forbidding the combi nation of any persons to fix the commission to be paid for the sale of any article. This provis ion specifiea that two persons are sufficient to enter into the un lawful combination. Do ion Open lour Mouth Like a young bird and gulp down what ever food or medicine may be offrred yon? Or, do you want to know something of the composition and character of that which you take Into your stomach whether m food or medicine? Most intclWent . and sensible people now-a-days i;.oist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicine. Dr. Pierce believes they have a perfect right to insist upon such knowledge. So he publishestaaadcast and on each bottle- tr, whatJiT3"tndicines are made of and vesiHesJtTctiulBr-eatla This he feels lUsfiJIord to do hecansp t.lie more the ingredients of which his medicines aremade are. studied and understood tpe more will their superior curative virtues be artirecuuifit For the cure of woman's peculiar weak nesses, irregularities and derangements, giving rise to frequent headaches, back ache, dragging-down pain or distress In lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating, pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp toms cf weakness. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a most efficient remedy. It is equally effective in curing painful periods, in giving strength to nursins mothers and in preparing the system ol the expectant mother for baby's coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and com paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre scription" is a most potent, strengthening tonic to the general system and to th organs distinctly feminine in particular. It is also a soothing and invigorating nervine and cures nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysterls., spasms, chorea or St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms at tendant upon functional and organic dis eases of the distinctly feminine organs. A host of medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, recommend each of the several ingredients of which "Favorite Prescription" is made for the cure of the diseases for which it is claimed to be a cure.
