SAVED US.
Most fortunate for the country
our industrial conditions are so
sound, healthful and prosperous
that a sharp monetary flurry fail
ed to disturb them. Of course
if the monetary disturbance had
been more wide-spread and had
continued for a longer time all
our industries would have been
seriously crippled and many of
them utterly paralyzed.
That this was not the result
may be attributed to two things:
First, we are doihe business on
the single, gold Ftandard meas-1
ureforall values. This places
our values in harmony with those
of all other great commercial and
manufacturing nations where it
would require a world-wide panic
to disturb them seriously. It is
to the interest of all to avoid, to
prevent such a panic, so all Eur
ope was ready to aid in staying
its spread. Had we not been on
a gold basis Europe would have
cared little, because the panic
wnnlrf have been our own and
have wrought disaster chiefly to
ourselves.
But we are developing our ma
terial resources at an amazing
pace. For a dozen years our
factories and mines indeed all
our productive industries have
been busy. Our mechanics and
laborers and capital have been
constantly and remuneratively
employed. Their products have
found ready and desirable mar
kets within our own borders.
For his products the farmer has
found his best market practically
at his door. Transportation com
panies have had their facilities
over-taxed in distributing our
products. Europe calls for our
. sumlus with gold not shoddy
clothing nor cheap cutlery in
her hand to cay for it. These
conditions are rightly abscribed
to the DrinciDle of protection.
These orotection and the gold
standard saved the country from
disaster.
AS USUAL.
i deeDlv touched we rush upon our
l -
immediate objective. Having
gained this our emotions cease
their play and we relapse to in
activity and indifference. Things
done under the spur of strong
emotion are not durable if we re
ly upon emotional action to con
serve them. Yet this is just what
we most frequently do.
Men are eaaily satisfied with
I the forms of right and become
indifferent to the substance., in
truth, having inaugurated the
forms of right and righteousness
they cheat themselves into be
lieving they have the substance
and have won a lasting victory.
Upon forms they build a false
reputation for right, justice, in
tegrity, and purity. They delude
themselves into believing these
guide, shape and control public
concerns. At all events cney
have selected men whose duty it
is to see that immorality, vice
and crime are stamped out. Hav
ing done this, we, the reformers,
fold our arms and he down to
sleep.
: Just here is our fatal mistake.
Though we have the most honest
and courageous officials they can
not long enforce even the best of
laws unless actively supported
by a strong public sentiment.
This truth we forget or ignore,
and cast the whole blame for
non-enforcement of the laws up
on our officers. The fault is our
own. We have lapsed into in
difference. We have been satis
fied with capturing an out-post
of the enemy and have deluded
ourselves into believing he must
give up his strong citadel with
out further effort by us,
Is this the condition existing
in Corvallis, in Benton county?

RESPONSIBILITY.
Our old-time friend, "Johnnie'
Gellatly, has been elected Mayor
ofWenatchee. There seems to
have been a contest between the
m oral and the indifferent moral
forces of that city and the mora
forces won out, electing the ma-
vor and the councilmen to be
chosen.
His old Benton county friends
know that no mistake has been
made in selecting Mr. Gellatly to
represent any moral purpose.
There, the mayor nominates
and the council elects certain of
ficers, among whom is a chief of
police. Mayor Gellatly nominated
a man for this position whom he
believed to be in more perfect
harmony with the moral purposes
of the community than is the
present chief. His nominee has
not been and may not be confirm
ed by the council. It would seem
that the reform element which
put the mayor into office now
fails to give him undivided sup
port. This is no new condition. In
fact it is characteristic of all our
reform movements, great and
small. Popular sentiment may
be aroused and turned toward
destroying some evil condition,
righting some palpable wrong.
It s weens forward and onward
like a mighty resistless wave and
like a wave it spends its force
and rppedes. It has destroyed,
but has failed to erect anything
enduring in place of those things
it has swept away.
Why is this? Why do we carry
reform to a certain point then
cease our work? There can be
but two sufficient reasons for
this. We are an emotional peo
ple. When our emotions are
Individual responsibility is a
truth men learn slowly and ac
cept reluctantly.. From the be
ginning man has sought to evade
his responsibility and deny the
consequences of his own .acts.
The woman - thou gavest, me
didst, temnt me." whined the
first man and the ages have not
greatly improved the race of
mankind in this respect. let
nofchirir is clearer than that every
normal man is responsible for
the conseouences of his own acts.
He is responsible to himself, to
his fellowmen individually and
oollectivelv and to his Creator.
He is responsible not only for the
conseouences of what he does
but for the conseouences of
what he fails or refuses to do.
His responsibility cannot be di
vided with another. There can
he no such thing as a divided re
sponsibility. A common respon
sibility must not be mistaken for
a divided one.
To illustrate: Men holding
like political opinions and pur
poses form a party which they
name the republican party.
Every man in the party owes it
to himself and to his party as
sociates collectively and individ
ually to put. forth his utmost
efforts to advance the opinions,
principles and purposes of the
republican party. He may not
refuse to do his duty unless some
other member does his duty like
wise. He must for himself meet
his own responsibility. In no
other way may the common pur
poses of the party be achieved.
The recognition of this undi
vided responsibility brings har
mony, organization, unity of ac
tion and victory. Of course re
publicans of Benton county de
sire victory and will work as one
man to gain it. At least it is
reasonable to expect they will do
so; but, well, we shall see,
presently.
How to account for the depre
ciation in stocks' the past six
months has puzzled many minds
trained in s ock negotiations.!
The essential factor in a mar
ket tor aav stock, is confidence.
There must be an unfaltering b&-
f - .i i i .
net in ine vaiuc ui auj siutu, uu
the part of its holders, to sustain
its market. When they lose
confidence they try to sell out.
As a general . low of . confidence
in speculative stocks Tesults in a
sreneral desire to sell.' the' market
is soon flooded with all kinds of
stock and prices fall. "Falling
market values inspire distrust
oenerallv and consequently all
stocks begin to weaken, whether
i speculative or -. 'industrial; not
'withstanding there may be no
diminished earnings, nor dimin
ished values irorn tne properties
upon which the stock are issued.
The 'rising value of stocks in
spires conbdence. ine tailing
market produces distrust.
. . . ...
Now the investing public are
themselves partlv to - blame tor
this condition. There must be

sents the value of ; the property I 1
upon which it is issued. If the I .
investing pnblic would recognize
this intrinsic value, when the
market is rising, and stop at the
intrinsic value, there would never
be much of a decline, and con
fidence would not be so easily
shaken.
No one in business , likes to
have some one else "butt in"
with suggestions how to run the
business. Nor tor employes to
pomhine and insist unon. their
own ideas of the value of their
services and the time they should
toil, and even less is the interter
ference of the government appre
ciated; but notwithstanding this
feeling among those who conduct
business enterprises. ' whether
railroads, manufactories or mines
there ought to be a governmen
tal inspection and appraisement
of every business concern in the
United States' which offers its
stock for .sale to the public, and
a maximum value fixed npon
such stock to exceed WBich should
become a crime. Under the
maximum let them sell for what
ever they please, but ovei the
price at which the Government
appraises the value of the proper
ty upon which the stocs is issued,
let no one otter his stock tor sale.
Misleading the public in regard
to stock values has become a
regular business among stock
manipulators.
The sudden collapse of mining
stocks hailing from Nevada, last
Aupust. is easily accounted for,
Speculation in mining stocks had
run wiid. Promoters had adver
tised impossible results, promised
dividends in three months, and
sometimes less, and by August
the time bad come in which to
make good, and promoters failed
to do so. Consequently, many
nersons bepan to realize they had
been deceived, or had deceived
themselves, and down came the
fictitious market.
Every share of mining stock
issued upon a legitimate mining
orosoect is intrinsically as valu
able as the day it was purchased.
It the government had appraised
th nronertv and limited the
quantity of stock to be sold, and
the mice at which it could be of
fered, and made the quantity sold
not to exceed .he immediate neces
sities of the mine, in its legiti
mate improvement, then there
would have been no collapse last
August and every dollar which
had been invested would have
been actually represented in tun
nels, shafts and machinery. In
cidentally, the production of gold
and silver would nave mucn in
rreased. and a floating armv of
adventurers, the kind who "do"

NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
SAYS IT IS FACT.
The Question having been raised as to
whether or tot Graham & Wells will re
fund the money if a Hyomei outfit does
not do all that is claimed for it in curing
catarrh, they want to state positively that
this guarantee is an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best proof
that can be offered as to the curative
rowers of Hyomei in a.l catarrhal troub
les. You do not risk a cent in testing its
healing virtues, Graham & Wells take
all the risk.
If you have catarrh, try this wonderful
medicated air of Hyomei. It does not
drug or derange the stomach, but is
breathed through a neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, so that its
medication reaches the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, where
anv catarrhal germr may be lurking. It
quickly destroys them, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane and vital
izes the tissues so that catarrh is no long
er possible. You can lose nothing by
giving Hyomei a trial, nothing but the
catarrh and that is good riddance.
The price of the complete outfit is but
$1.00; note ine if it fails to cure. Get an
outfii from Graham & Wells today and
begin its use at once.
Wide Difference In the Emotions
Which They Give Birth.
Nobody ever became suddenly
fond of a field. It is the great dif
ference between a field and a gar
den that no one could do so. Al
most anybody may take up garden
ing and become fond of a garden
quickly, but a field is different.
The beauty of a garden, or at least
some of the beauty, is so easily
seen; the pageant of colors and
scents is so varied and so soon past;
the flower borders are always so
near at hand and within limits so
obedient that a garden may be
come the most sudden and the most
commanding of hobbies. But a field
is not to be known so quickly. Its
friendship cannot be had in a year
nor even in a few years. But it is
a friendship which once given ends
only with the life of the friend.
An hour in a flower garden is like a
conversation with a happy and a
charming companion. But a morn
ing in a field is;like a walk with one
of those . friends who are so com
pletely understanding and under
stood that conversation is needless.
Thf bpo-innin? of knowledge of a
field is the feel of the actual earth
tVio Rnlid soil of it under foot.

a field without plowing it. But you
can begin an acquaintance on a field
newly plowed or, better still, being
plowed, and the first and best
knowledge is the touch of the crum

of bounty. In a garden you cannot
rid yourself of a certain uneasiness,
almost a fear of trespass, if you
step on a flower border or even if
you walk over a vegetable bed in the

Carbonic Acid Springs.
In the Auvergne region of France
a large amount of carbonic acid gas
comes from the soil and is one of
the last traces of the former vol
canic activity of this region. The
springs that yield the gas are found
generally in the fissures of the
ground which allow the water to
rise. One of the Montpensier springs
has become known as the "poisoned
spring." Animals which descend to
the cavity to drink are soon,asphyx-

Bodies of birds, rabbits, dogs, sheep
and other animals are found, and
even persons have narrowly escaped.

overdose of the gas. Spots ean be
