WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Is there a Republican party m
Oregon ?
For long that party was under
the domination, in this state, of
a few selfish, self-seeking men
who controlled the party organi
( zation for their own personal pur
poses. Party principles were lost
to sight or wholly neglected. The
supreme test of one's republican
ism was fidelity to the purposes
and interests of the party "boss"
or "bosses." The same test de
cided a man's fitness for public
office. For no office from ward
constable to governor, inclusive,
could any man not acceptable to
the party boss receive nomination
or be elected.
It mayx be recalled that at the
behest of a ring of party bosses,
known as "the state ring," Col
ones Cornelius was nominated for
governor. This was done in spite
of the earnest protests of The
Oregonian, speaking for itself
and for scores of republicans who
firmly held to the principles of
the party but opposed petty, sel
fish,' personal politics. The re
sult of this election was the elec
tion of Pennoyer for governor.
The result would not have been
greatly different had the Oregon
ian given the most hearty sup
port to Cornelius, for many r &
publicans remained away from
the polls and many others voted
for the prohibition candidate.
D. P. Thompson was the next
republican candidate for gover
nor. He was well qualified for
the office, yet many of his per
sonal .friends, including the Ore
gonian, privately sought to dis
suade him from entering the race.
He was nominated but defeated
at the polls, largely if not wholly,
by the men who had supported
Cornelius.
We charitably pass the next
choice of governor with the re
mark that under normal influen
ces and conditions that portion of
the state's political history might
have afforded more pleasant
reading.
Ic is not forgotten that the next
two candidates of the republican
party, W. J. Furnish and Dr.
Withycombe were knifed to death
at the polls by men calling them
selves republicans but who know
little of and care less for the
principles, pol cies and achieve
ments of the party.
1 It is not only in Multnomah
and'Marion counties that faction,
alivays t elfish, mischievous and
reckless exists. It is seen in
every county in the state. In
some counties it finds its expres
sion in county papers which are
.easily controlled by considers
tions other than party principles
and policies, and the 'fitness of
men for public office.
Will this factional spirit be con
tinued? Is there no Republican
party it Oregon? You
musM
make answer, gentlemen. You
who have delighted in faction of
the rule or ruin sort must answer
these questions, answer them
promptly and unequivocally.
There are probably no fewer
republicans in the state than ever
before, but the number who will
support factionalism in the party
is, we believe, on the wane. It
certainly should" be. For our
selves faction and selfish purpose
need not look to us for any sort
of support. We believe in the
principles of the Republican
party. We are proud of its his
tory and its achievements, and '
shall continue to support its prin-
ciples and policies -because they !
are most beneficent.

i CortelyOU he says :
- "Thereis no analogy at all with
the way things were in 1896. On
November 30 of that year there
was in the treasury but 161 mill
ion dollars in gold. On Novem
ber 14 of this year there was in
the treasury 904 million dollars in
gold. ' Ten years ago the circula
tion per capita was $2323. Now
it is $33 23. The steps you now
take, the ability of the govern
ment to back them up and the
fact that not a particle of risk is
involved therein gives the fullest
guarantee of the sound condition
of our people and the sound con
dition of our treasury. All that
our people have to (Jo now is to
go ahead with their normal busi
ness in a normal fashion and the
whole difficulty disappears ; and
this end will be achieved if each
man will act as he normally does
act, and as the real conditions of
the country's business fully war-
rant his own acting.
Ic is not impossible that a little
ripple of this sort in finance will
prove of great and permanent
benefit to the business of the
country. It is not unlikely that
we have for the past five years
been "too prosperous. "
The ease with wliich people on
the Pacific Coast have made
money during the past few years
may have had a tendency to dis
courage precaution and economy
and cause over-speculation, but
notwithstanding this may be the
case no line of legitimate busi
ness has been hard pressed and
in the end it will be a blessing in
disguise. It will open up a "new
channel by which emergencies
may be met. Certain it is that
the great masses of the American
people were never so well off in
this world's goods nor more
safely entrenched against real
poverty and misery
SYNOPSIS OF THE MESSAGE.
Recommendations of message
of 1905 onsubjectof Federal con
trol of corporations reiterated.
Useless and vicious to attempt
to prevent combinations but each
should be checked when it acts
against the law and justice.
Federal control of interstate
commerce should be made effect
ive, not by extending Federal au
thority but by extending Federal
activity. This is not centraliza
tion but realization that centrali
zation in business has come.
Amend Sherman anti-trust law
to allow and regulate, beneficial
combinations and prevent crea
tion of evil enes-
National control would benefit K
corporations, as meat inspection
has benefited the packers and the
pure food law other industries.
State and nation must co-operate
in enforcing pure food laws.
Currency law should be amend
ed to provile emergency currency
Tariff should be revised from
business standpoint after Presi
dential election.
Inheritance tax should be im
posed ; also income tax if consti-
tutional.
Abuse of injunctions should be
prevented by change in laws.
Government should inspect
railroads and inquire into acci
dents. Eight hour law should be ex
tended to all Government work.
National inspection and grad
ing of grain are recommended.
Land laws should be revised
to prevent monopoly and promote
home-making.
National forests should be ex
tended and logged-off land re
planted. Duty on wood pulp should be
repealed with agreement of Can-
ada to repeal export duty on pulp
vvood.

They say that the man found
dead, under wierd circumstances,
in a glittering hotel, took poison,
and the chemists will make an
analysis to learn exactly what
kind of poison it was. But the
real poison the man took was al
cohol, the most alluring and most
destructive of poisons. It allures
because it has the double quality
of deadening and intensifying.
It deadens unhappiness by in
tensifying pleasure. But while
misery can be danced down with
wine, women ana song, ine lugi
tive from unhappiness awakens
trembling from the gray rock of
remorse. And remorse is worse
than mere unhappiness. Every
thing is gray and shuddering and
the wretched man breaks the
chain and sobers up in eternity.
Ex.
A man who had amassed quite
a comfortable fortune in the prac
tice of medicine bought a'farm in
later life. After some years of
experience on the farm he made
the following statements, which
are worthy the consideration of
many a boy who is cut out for a
good farmer, but has aspirations
.for SOme profession for which he
may have little more natural abil-
ity than a pig has for music.
Hear his conclusions : "I would
exchange my age, money and
acres for youth and forty acres,
and think that I had the best of
the bargain; and I would start
the farm by planting ten acres of
orchard, buying two sows, two
cows and two setting hens.
Youth, strength and hustle are a
great sight better than money,
and the wise youth can have a
finer farm than mine before he
passes the half century mark
even though he have but a bare
forty to begin with. " Ex.

BETTER, THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing
' and be Cured of Catarrh.
Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dosing
the stomach with medicine.
It is the healing oils and balsams of
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, tilling
all catarrhal germs, and restoring health
to the mucous membrane.
In Bsing Hyomti you are treating your
catarrhal troubles with the only Datural
remedy, for it gives a curative air batb to
the air passages that has as powerful
healing and antiseptic effect aj that found
in the mountains where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing bal
sams. Breathe the invigorating and healing
Hyomei, and see bow quickly you will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles.
Graham & Wells have seen so many
cures, even of the worst cases of catarrh,
with offensive breath, raising of mucus,
frequent sneezing, droppings in tbe
throat and spasmodic coughing, that
they feel warranted in selling Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. They take all the risk.
Farmers.
Bead the "Weekly Oregonian" of Port
land and the "Corvallis Gazette" for tbe
general news of the world, also for in
formation about how to obtain the best
resnlts in cultivating the soil, Etock rais
ing, fruit raising, etc.
You can secure both of tbese excellent
papers for one year by paying to tbe
'Corvallis Gazette" the sum of two dol
lars and fifty cents, in advance. Remit
'tbe money by postoffice order or bank
draft and these most valuable papers will
be promptly mailed to oo 83tf
