CAFifAL FUNISHMENT. One of Oregon's legislators proposes to have the law provid ing for capital punishment re pealed. Tnis is no new idea Ever since history was first pen xied it tells of those who followed their emotions rather than rea--son, had they any of the latter. That crime shall go unpunished as as ridiculous as the good and xime-honored admonition to 'JJve your enemies." It is possible to allow r.ine to go unpunished, 4ut it is not wise to do so. In :f act, -crime is allowed too much license. Too frequently the per petrator of the greatest crimes jrnos free on some pretext or other more or less according to tins u;yi,a of an pocketbook. It is asking too much of frail hu manity to expect a person to ' love an enemy," put it should he per ff'ctly reasonoble to expect that those who commit crime should jpi.y the penalty. There always have been and al'--"v5 will hp those who oppose 2apital punishment from theore tic lueas wnoily at variance 'With the workings of the affairs of earth. They never go back to "ithe aw fulness of the crime com- mitt 1, the cold-bloodedness of the deed, the fact that the per petrator was not compelled to the act, but did it in a spirit of lawlessness and with utter dis regard for the rights of others or for human life. The protec tion of the individual, of the Iiome, of society, demands that ithere be punishment to fit the erime. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. " To allow a -criminal to go unpunished is a serious offense against society in : general and should be generally : so regarded. The man who masks ' his face - and conceals himself along some Jiij hway to hold-up and rob any " clrtnce passer-by has already l -:made up his mind that if neces- rssasy to protect himself or accom pjifih his purpose he will kill his victim. Before going- on the highway he must have concluded that if in his judgment it be comes necessary he will take liuman life. He is a murderer at heart and a menace to society and the welfare of his state and government, i Who can think seriously that if there was a law against hold- saps in general, and the penalty jprovided by ths law was death. rsegardless of the fact that the I .highwayman may not have taken aire, cnere wouia oe so many iold-ups? If death were certain Jx follow the capture and con viction of the highwayman there 'would be fewer ' 'gentlemen of -the read." Remember, no man .is compelled to rob another on s the highway or elsewhere. It 3is not pleasant to consider, or to iisdvocate capital punishment for any crime, but duty, the protee -iffition of the innocent, the con- c sideration of society, and various other phases of the question imake for the advocacy of drastic measures. The people generally swould be better off if there were x. ven more severe criminal laws and absolute assurance of strict enforcement. No man is obliged tto commit a crime and the inno cent would have nothing to fear in the passage of severe criminal laws. Senator Mitlkey took the oath of office in Washington, Friday. JHe will serve until March 4, and liis term will be the shortest on -record. He was appointed to Abe chairmanship of the com .xnittee on examination and dis- position of documents and allow ed to hold such position just 15 minutes ere he was deposed in favor of William Alden Smith. This was a piece of favoritism by which Smith profited. Senator M4lkey:?will come home with two records for brevity anyway if he succeeds in nothing else. According to American jingoes the questions of the hour are, "How long would it take to wal lop Japan? Can , we do it at all? Or pnnlrl f-.h .Tnna whin ns? Most of our prophetslof evil will have "crooked" themselves to death ere the clash comes. Whenever it becomes the duty of "Uncle Sam" he will spank the cockiness out of the Mikado band in short order and little ceremony. The law-abiding element of Il linois is endeavoring to pass a law providing the death penalty for robbery. It is desired to break up the criminal mardi gras. Will You Assist? Do vou ever find your news paper dull and uninteresting? II so, it is because the items in it contain no personal interest for von. There is one way to make your home paper btight and newsy and that is by helping the editor get in touch with the items that are of esDecial idterest t j you. Do not be bashful about tele phoning a bit of news to the' of fice it will save the reporter much shoe leather in running about trying to pick up these very items, and will be very much appreciated by .he paper. If you know of a wed ling, a birth, a death, a party, a visitor coming or going, an accident, a peculiar happening, a burglary, anything about crop conditions of interest. gossip of the conditions of high ways ana wnat steps are Deing taken to improve them, telephone lines buildiug or transacting bus iness ot interest, or if your neigh bor's hired man elopes with your hired girl why call us up and tell us all about it, or write it ud and mail it to us before the news gets old and staie, and we'll ap preciate your kindness. With the co-operation of its readers, near and far, an ordi nary little country paper could easily be transformed into a sheet of general interest to all, aud while the editor might take in more money for subscriptions as a result, on the other hand readers would get mere for their money. Anyone can readily see that it-is a plan that would benefit all par ties concerned. Let us hear from you. And when we fail to inter est you, please bear in mind that we canuot all see alike, asd what means much to one in interest may bore someone else. Newspaper people are but hu man, and if you think it's any "snap" to try to phase a big, busy, impatient, hurrying public, just try it. What He Says. An Oakville writer has some thing to sav of the plan that has been discussed for trading a slice of Benton county for a slice of Linn. Possibly he is not thoroughly familiar with the sub ject as it has been discussed, but he says: A petition has been circulated in the precinct asking for a divi sion ot the county. . Or rather Benton county wants this (Or leans) precinet The object is to make better roads to Corvallis, also to bridge the Willamette at that place. There are serious objections to this petition for var ious reasons. First the river is at anv time liable to form a new channel and iu this event much labor and expense on the road would be wasted, and if a bridge is built at the site of the free ferry it will be a heavy expense to the county and it the channel changes a new bridge will be needed. Secondly, . it would be voting a tax ou iuture generations; for a free bridge kept in repair would be a perpetual drain on the tax payers. In the opinion of resi dents here a free ferry can be operated and repaired with less expense to the county than a bridge. And lastly, tne people here would be giving some of the best part ot Linn county to be axed for the benefit of Benton countv. As it is now they pat ronize the free ferry and help the merchants of Corvallis .to ,vpay their taxes in this w$y.-' '".

Shaw goes to Pull man, Wash., the middle of this week to enter upon bis duties as assistant professor of zoology in the state agricultural college and experiment station, and as cura tor of the museum. Prof. Shaw is very thorough in his work and as curator has been awarded a gold medal. He is a son of Prof. - Thomas Shaw formerly of the University ot Minnesota, well known as an author on agricultural subjects, and is a brother of Robert S. Shaw, professor of agriculture and animal industry at the Mich igan Agricultural College. Prof. Shaw is a graduate of the University ofjMichigan. He will be missed in Corvallis where he has made many sincere friends during his residence here, but all join in wishing him unlimited success in his new position in W. A. C. Legislators in Corvallis'. Corvallis was honored Friday by a visit from the members of the Oregon legislature who came in from Albany on a special train about 2:30 p. m. and depart ed at 6 p.-ra. There were two coach loads of the distinguished guests and their train was met by a party of Cor vallis citizens and college people who escorted the visitors to the college where a brief informal meeting was held and the differ ent ibuildings were thrown open for inspection, so that an idea could be obtained by the guests of the workings of the various departments. The students had been told to be on dress parade and presented a fine appearance. A "spread" was enjoyed in an upper room of the administration building and here there was a manifestation of good teeling and general enthusiasm over what h:id been seen and learned ot OAC. About 100 people were in the leg felative parly, among whom were quite a number of ladies. This is the tLird year in suc cession that the Oregon legisla tors have pain a special visit to the big college 01 the hill, in which the entire state is more or less is iuteresttd.

The third session of the joint railway committees was held in Salem Thursday night, at which meeting Attorney J. K. Weatherlord of Albany, counsel for the C. E. railro'd, appeared before the commission with his road's objections to the state railroad commission. He complained that power was vested in the commission which would practic ally prevent the railroad from coo. rolling the movement of its 0 n cars. That ac cording to the provisions of the Chapin bill they would have to furnish them. That they only had 100 cars at presen t and that unless a classification was made, they would soon be out of cars. He favored an alteration in the meas ure, whereby no cars of the small roads could be taken outside the state, as he claimed it would break them up in busi ness to take their equipment away from them. While he did not object to the commission in general, he did not favor it. and was not slow in saying so to the press after the meeting.

Tbe Oaly Way to Cure Stomach Disorders is by Strengthening the Digestive Organs. The ordinary "dyspepsia" tablet ba rimed more stomicha thn all other causes combine 1. Giving temporary re lief, it leaves the dies'.ive systeoi weak er than ever, ?nd the tablets mu.-t be con tinued with increasing frequency. The only way to completely cure stom ach t'oub es is by strengthening the dige tive organs with a Mi-o-na stomach tablet taken before meals. Used in hu wav, Mi-o-na excites tin Becretion of gabtrio juice, aud when tie food is swal lowed, the stomach is realy to digest it Mi-o-na slojuach tablets are never sold in bulk, bat in a neat bps convenient for the purse or veat pocket, at 50c. A guarantee is givea by Graham & Wells with every box of Mi o-na, that money will bs refund 3d it the remedy fails to give satisfaction. This shows their faith in the merits of the remedy.

She scalds it thoroughly after using, and. gives it, a sun bath to sweeten It. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the butter that is made in it. The stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it? . The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone the bad tasto In the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical- Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweot. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or d istress in stom ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of them, indicate that you are suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy liver with the usual accompanying indi gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements.
