Gives Reasons Why He Should , Win at the Primaries. A mistaken idea prevails to some ext nt as to the emoluments of the state printer and the practical word ings of the office. It is not the big "fat" office it is accused of being. In the first place tbe appropriation for "printing" conveys wrong im pression. The biennial appropriation is cot for printing alone, bat includes also ths cost of paper, ruling election supplies and many smaller items, amounting for the biennial period to about t'23,Ouu. The last report of the secretary of state to tbe legislature will show these flgares to be correct Then the state printer must provide his own printing plant and pay all running expenses of the office. The pay rolls alone for the two years ex c ed $35,000. The Salem Typographi cal Union can bear ont the accuracy of this statement. The cost of ma- terial, a limited amount of work done in outside union offices during a rosli : .. .1. . ...... . - .11 . inks, and a hundred other expenses, adds fully $10,000 more. This makes 158,000 f expenses which the state printer does not get. Thus it will ba readily seen that when the cost of production of tbe priuting is taken iuto con'ideration, the state printing office is not all pro fit. It is just like any other priuting business. It costs something to run it. Criticism has been for vents directed at the state printiug office and it seems that it still coutinues. The present state printer has beu accused of graft, of dividing the profits of the office with political bosses, and of a further division for the use of th state print ing pliut. There is absolutely no truth in tin se statement. I pay f 100 per month rental for the plant and no more, which is considered a reasonable rental. I bate a lea si do'y signed to this effect, aud there has been no di vision of the office with any person. The fees paid the state printer are fixed by law, and every item printed is measured by an expert printer, ap pointed by the governor, whose dnty it is to measure the priuting and affix the amount dne a provided by law. Governor Chamberlain appointed to this position Mr. Albert To.ier, a dem ocrat, a practical printer, and secre tary of the Oregon Press Association, whose integrity is nnqnestioned and who has measured all printing done ami approved all bills therefor in strict accordance with law. Every bill for printing is ul-o carefully audited by the secretary of state. Mr. Dunbar is acknowledged to be one of ths best offi cers the state has ever had, and his auditing stump of approval is Bnffi icut guarantee of honest accounting. The state priuting office is a tirget of attack without just reason. The heavy cost of printing in past years has been chiefly due to the large num ber of copies printed. This has been reduced by law, and the price now paid by the state for most of the pub lic printing is not above that charged by tne printing firms of Portlaud, aud some of it is considerably les.. For some classes of work, especially where a large number of copies ar' required to be printed, the price snould be re duced soD.ewhat. I have giveu this. subject careful study, aud believe there are two meth ods by which the cost of printing could be kept down to a minimum. One is to limit the volume of priuting and revise the schedule of prices npon an up-to-date basis, the same as that of commercial priuting generally. The other is for the state to own and oper ate its own printing plant, and to pav the state printer a reasonable flat, fixed salary. Either of thee plans, or sim ilar plans along these lines, which the legislature might adopt for the better rueut of the sevrice, would meet my hearty support. My republictnism will be attested by the people of Linn connty, where I formerly edited the Daily and Week ly Henl.t or twenty years. As a native Oregouiao aud a printer of twenty-five years' exwri''uce, I have eudoavored to conduct the state print ing office iu a clean, business-like man lier, aud as a candidate for a second term, am willing to stand upon u7 rceord. The books of tbe office are open for Inspection. ' J. R. WHI1TNEY. The Grip j "Before we can sympathize with ' others, we must have suffered our selves." No one can realize the I suffering attendant npon an attack of i the grip, unless he haa had the ac i tual experience. There is proably no i disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so success l folly Jefles medical aid. All danger I from tbe grip, however, mav be . avoided by the prompt use of Cham 1 berlain's Cough Rmdy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this j remedy, not one case has ever been reporte I that has resulted in pneu monia or that has not recovered. For sale by M. Clemens.

Hall. Mr. Hall'., speech was one of infinite value to young men and women just beignning to consider their life work, for it contained he tried wisdom of a practical man. Among other things he sonnded a note of warning to the boys when he remarked that the girls are becoming very dangerous com petitors for all the professions as well as the clerical positious. What most pleased boys and girls alike, how ever, was the deep interest Mr, Hall expressed in the welfare of the High School. Sncb interest is serv help, ful to our progress. The students of the first rhetorical division according to the new arrange ment, rendered their first program in the High School assembly room ou Friday afternoon, March 23, at whioh a number of visitors were present. Because of the variety in the numbers and the new interest shown by most of the participants in their work. this program was the most enjoyable of the year. A few nonjhers that showed especially good prpearatiou were the recitations "The Tribula tions of Biddy Malone," by Aunabelle Lelth; "Microbes," by Anna May Thomas; "Little Sammie Green,' by Ernest Umphlette ; "Character Sketch," by Harold O'Neill and "Prophecy." by Edward O'Neill. which certainly pictured a brillia'it future for this city. But the last and star number was the debate on the question "Resolved, That Hamilton was" a greater statesman thnn Jeffer-1 son. lhose who gave strong argu- ment on the affirmative side were Randle Hood, Wilna Gilkey and Louise Birdsall and those who spoke ! convincingly on the negative were i Hellen Clark, Fritz Dean and Niua Paddock.

It had previously been under stood that the three best debaters of this division would be chosen to represent it in a debats with the three best of the second divisnn. Those who had the good fortune to be thus selected were Randle Hood, Nina Paddock and Fritz Dean.
