The following is from the McMinn
ville News Reporter:
"The republicans of the first con
gressional district have a duty to per
form at the comiDg primary, which
they should not treat lightly or with
out due consideration. Owing to the
conditions and circumstances which
have arisen, it becomes their duty to
select a man who will represent west
ern Oregon in the lower house of
congress for the next two years, and,
if they choose wisely, probably for the
next ten years.
"Formerly congressmen have been
changed every two or four years, the
matter being looked upon in the
nature of a reward to be passed around
to deserving men. But this, however,
no longer obtains. It has now become
well understood that the longer a man
is kept in congress the more efficient
he becomes and the more power he
wields for the good of his state.
"This being true and the first
district being so overwhelmingly re
publican, there is little doubt that the
nominee of the republican party will
be elected, and it is also extremely
probable that if he be at all worthy he
will be kept in that position so long
as he shall be able to give good
service. It is therefore the duty of
republicans to think carefully before
casting their votes. They should
select a congressman with the same
care as they would select an executor
or trustee to manage a large estate.
"In that event, the question will be,
who will manage it wisely and
prudently? In selecting a congress
man the question should be, who will
wield the most influence at Wash
ington, and be able to accomplish the
most for the state? It is not a matter
to be determined by the question of
the lodge that he belongs to, or the
church that he belongs to, but what
are his qualifications? Does he possess
integrity and ability? Is he the kind
of a man who will acquire influence
over his fellow members of congress?
"Having examined the various can
didates with reference to these qualifi
cations and made up one's mind as to
which candidate more nearly fills this
test, the rest is easy. Looking at it
from this standpoint, with all due
respect and kindness to other candi
dates, a large republican clientage in
Yamhill county is of the opinion that
Mr. S. B. Huston, of Hillsboro, is the
candidate that ought to be nominated.
Mr. Huston is in the very prime of
life, is a strong, both mentally and
physically, one of the best lawyers in
the state, and a man of unqestioned
personal integrity.
"He has lived in our neighboring
county Washington for about twenty-
three years, and during that time his
integrity has never been questioned.
He is trusted implicitly in financial
matters, and, as a lawyer, it is a
maxim in that county that he will
advise a client exactly as he believes
the law to be. He has had a large
practice at the bar for many years,
and is in comfortable circumstances
financially.
"He comes of good family, and is
son of a man who gave up his life in
the defense of his country, He is a
man of pleasing personality and
makes lots of friends, and those who
know him best can see no reason why
he could not make at least as good a
congressman as the late Thomas H.
Tongue. It is believed that the re
publicans of Yamhill county will give
him a united support."
Life Guards.
The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the King's
household, but yours, ours, every
body's should have its life guards.
The need of them is especially great
when the greatest foes of life, diseases,
find allies in the very elements as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip and
pneumonia do in the stormy month of
March. The best way that we know
of to guard against these diseases is
to strengthen the system withs Hood's
Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all life
guards. It removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and
tone to all the vital organs and func
tions, and imparts a geniai wanmu ,
i,-hinnd. Remember the weaker the
system the greater the exposure to
disease. Hooci s oaisar""

The State Printing Office.
The Junction City Times, edited by
Hon. S. L. Moorheod, ex-member of
the Oregon legislature and for several
sessions chief clerk of the senate, has
an apt and timely editorial on the
state printing office and the manage
ment thereof. Mr. Moorhead occupy
ing the position he does, is well
acquainted with the workings of the
office and says :
"The fees for all Btate printing are
fixed by law as well as the amount of
printing necessary for the State's use.
The volume of printing for which the
State is liable is statutory and it is the
state printer's sworn duty to comply
with the law. When printed matter is
ready for delivery, it is measured by
the printing expert. As this office is
appointive, the present incumbent is a
democrat. He is an honest man and
a capable officer. After it is exported,
the report is submitted to the Secretary
of State. That official personally in
vestigates every bill before it meets
his approval.
"This is the course of all claims
that emanate from the department of
printing as well as other departments
of the State.
"The State Printer has on file the
receipt for every 'dollar's worth of
printing furnished by him, which re
ceipt checks off with the books in the
office of the Secretary of State.
"State Printer Whitney is an honor
able man, clean morally and socially,
and every dollar received by him from
the State was honestly earned and

Said to Have a Strong Lead In
' Southern Ore?on Counties.
Sunday Oregontan, March 4.
WOODRTJRN, Or., Feb. 27.-(To the
Editor.) Walter L. Tooze, candidate
for Congress in this district, has re
turned home from a visit in Southern
Oregon, where he received many
assurances of support. He is strongly
iu the lead In Southern Oregon, while
the Const counties areoverwhelmlngly
for him. I. H. Bingham, of Lane
couuty, who was the most prominent
Congressional candidate in the south,
has withdrawn from the race, and is a
candidate" for State Senator.
The Hawley forces in this county
show plain evidences of disintegration.
Mark Skiff, Marshal Tom Cornelius
and several others or Salem who' were
included in the Hawley list, are sup
porting Tooze; while Thomas Kay
and others, quoted as "united on
Hawley," declare such a statement as
unauthorized. The straw vote taken
at Albany and favoring Huston was
doubtless taken among his friends by
an avowed Huston man. Friends or
Tooze assert that he is leading both
Huston and Hawley in Linn county
by long odds.
The report that Toozo's own pre
cinct would not support him is like
the other reports. He carried Wood-
burn at the lust election by a vote or
200 to 9'J, and this year the people of
Woodburn will stand by their candi
date by a larger majority, while
Marion county will doubtless roll up
a good plurality for him on April 20.
Voters all over the district are turn
ing to the support or Tooze because h
is fought by the Salem school land
ring and those who have profited by
questionable methods in-the procure
ment or our public lands. A strong
point being gonerally advocated by
the electors or the district in ravor or
Tooze's nomination for Congress la
his record and services for 20 years in
the enunciation or the principles or
sound Republicanism, in marked con
trast to the well-known and admitted
fact that neither Huston or Hawley
had ever been actively identified with
the Republican party until they be
came candidates for Congress.
Haa Made Good Record.
J. R. Whitney, who Is a candidate
to succeed himseir for republican
nomination as State Printer has made
an excellent officer. We are personally
acquainted with Mr. Whitney and
know him to be a man worthy or the
office. He is a native Oregonian, a
graduate or the University or Oregon,
and is an old-timer in the printing
business. He Is a rrlend that never
overlooks you when you have once
taken his hand in a rriendly shake.
He is a rriend to the laborer as well as
the merchant, and he is a man such
as a free-born Westerner likes to meet.
He will no doubt be re-nominated, and
should he be, he will be re-elected. It
is usual to give to every state officer a
second term when he has made an
efficient officer. Yale Oriano.
