VII communications should be addressed to t PRESS AthenaOregon ATHENA.JUNE 22 1906 There is one policy in which the Mil too Eagle endeavors to be consis tent, and that is the knocking it gives to the normal sohooL The Eagle may throw down the prohibitionists with impunity .when election campaigns are on, by ref nsing support to their prinoipal candidate, bat it "knocks" the normal first, last and all the time. However, in this instance, every "knock" is as good as a "boost." The Eagle will never be "remembered" when at the nest legislative session, the will of the people on the appropri ation amendment is ratified and the news comes up from Salem that East ern Oregon is to have a permanent normal school at Weston, and West ern Oregon at Monmouth. The canal has already cost the gov era meat abont $76,000,000 in cash, in addition to the $10,000,000 paid to the French canal company. $10, 000,000, went to the merry little re pnblio of Panama for the strip and in two appropriations abont. $35,000,000 has been provided for construction work. The sundry civil bill has just made provision for $35,000,000 more for the work of bnilding the canal. There is a stipulation in this bill that the amount named shall be reimbursed to the treasury through the sale of , bouds already authorized for oaual purposes. The evident intent of con gress is to throw the xemaining bur den of the canal upon the future by paying for it with iuterest bearing notes rather than with cash. The stove toundry at the Orogou peuiteutiary could be profitably sup planted by the substitution of a jute mill, snob as operated in Washiugton state penitentiary at Walla Walla. Grain suokg made by convict labor in this state would greatly lessen the cost of sucks to the farmer. Besides the niuuufucture of tbo product would not eouie iu competition with the private enturpri.su to lh extent Unit the man ufacture of stoves does. Why s hould the American eiti.ou or oitizous who pays $500 iu good mou ey to be enrolled in an "America's smart sot" be made a target for the mordant jeers of the iuoousiderate pop uluoe?

It is very evident that a permanent social distinction can never be established in the United States if grand juries are to be forever prying into the circumstances by which the title to social standard is acquired. Whenever a lot of greedy "skinners" or would-be monopolists find them selves checked by beneficent laws, in the schemes for devastating the forests, absorbing the water rights, "fencing in" the publio range for their private herds, or monopolizing the lands whioh the nation has sought to preserve for the small farmer and home-make.r they at once assume the attitude of special champions of what they call "the right of the people. " This is the attitude in whioh Senator Heyburn would like to be viewed as he elo quently pleads for the rights of a few lumbermen to devastate the mountain forest reserve of Idaho. The Secretary of the Interior has made a ruling upon section five of the reclamation act, whioh provides that no sale of water from a government project shall be made to any land own er unless he is an actual bona fide res ident on suoh land, or an occupant thereof residing in the neighborhood. In the ruling the secretary fixed the limit of distanoe of residence from the land at twenty miles in a diroct line. Smoking cars for women are now being run on English railways. The future hubby over there may complain that his wife's cigarettes are not as good as those bis mother used to roll. A London man recently paid $600 for an orohid. He might have bought an entire prune ranch in Arizona for that price. Some people seem to have queer ideas of the value of things. The life insurance MoOurdys still have one claim to distinction in being about the only persons who are made defendants daily in suits from $3, 000,000 up. Mails are carried ou deer routes in Alaska. There are some dear routes here, too, if the post office appropria tion bill is to be depended on. An English author says that he wrote a story in his sleep and received pay for it. He simply lies in a pecu liar way. ' ..' , A SIMPLE COMPARISON. From an Exchange. Charles M. Sohwab, the young mil lionaire, who was ouce the head of the steel trust nud is now completing in New York the costliest private res idence iu the world, has once again remarked that education and culture unfit young men for success iu life. Per Imps this is true as far as Schwab's observation extouds. But it must be understood that tho brain of Churles M. Sohwab has a very limited hori zon. Great suooesaes are being achiev ed every day for tho development nud betterment of humanity, whioh a Sohwao can no more appreciate and comprehend than a pig can understand art The pig come to think of it has a tiny little brain. But every fraction of its intellectual energy is devoted to the welfare of its stomach. You see a lot of so-called human be ings that seem to be built on the same plan. There is a sort of fatality lead Department Make Your appointments; Here ing, thenf to tbe"acoumulation of mon ey. . They have'marvelous cunning in getting rich, but if yon touch their minds on any other question you find them blank. The man who thinks of nothing but making money may not be capable of realizing that other people can think of nobler purposes. Like the pig, with its snout so deep in the trough that its eyes are buried in the slop, its human prototype may also be unable to see or think of anything in the world but the one business of get ting all that's to be got It is right and proper that the pig should have no thought but for his stomach it is made that way. But with man it is different; to have a pig's mind he must acquire it by killing the best there is in him. By will he renounces manhood and debases himself to the level of the animal. He spills no blood, but he murders a man to make a pig. It is the basest of suicides, and per haps the commonest It is right and proper, too, that a man should make all the money he can honestly and use wisely. The man who makes money, as a means to an end, is not to be des pised. He is doing his part of the World's work, and the part is no small or ignominious one. But there are other duties in the world besides making money. There are qualities in the human mind and soul infinitely more important than those whioh make large aooumulations of money possible. The Ladies' Aid. We've put a fine addition on the good old church at home, ' It's just the latest kilter, with a gal lery and dome, It seats a thousand people finest churoh in all the town. And when 'twas dedicated, why we planked ten thousand down ; That is, we paid five thousand every fellow did his best And the Ladies' Aid Sooiety, it prom ised all the rest. We've got an organ in the ohuroh the finest in the land, It's got a thousand pipes or more, its melody is grand. And when we sit on cushioned pews and hear the master play, It carries us to realms of bliss unnum bered miles away. It cost a cool three thousand, and it's stood the hardest test; We'll pay a thousand on it the La dies' Aid the rest They'll give a hundred sociables, can tatas, too, and teas; They'll bake a thousand angel cakes, and tons of cream they'll freeze. They'll beg and scrape and toil and sweat for seven years or more, And then they'll start all o'er again, for a carpet for the floor. No, it isn't just like digging out the money from the vest When the Ladies' Aid gets busy and says, 'We'll pay the rest." Of course we're proud of our big ohuroh from pulpit up to spire; It is the darling of our eyes, the crown of our desire, But when I see the sisters work to raise the oash that lacks, I somehow feel the church is built on women's tired backs. J Aud sometimes I can't help thinking when we reach the regions blest, That men will get the toil aud sweat, and the Laides' Aid tho rest. From the Reformed Church Herald, Lisbon, la.

Kot Only J3o We Get Inspiration Float Nature, Bat Health as Well. For people who are. rnn-down and nerv ous, who suffer from Indigestion or dys pepsia, he.tdachn, biliousness, or torpid liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in the morning and poor apjietite, it be come neeeary to turn to some tonic or strenprthener which will assist Mature and help them to (ret on their feet and put the body into Its propor condition. It Is becomina more and mnreapiinreut that Nature's most valuable health - giving agents arc to be found in forest plants and roots. Nearly forty years ago. Dr. R.V. Pierce, now consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., discovered that by scientifically extracting and combining certain medici nal principles from native roots, taken from our American forests, he could pro duce a medicine which was marvelously efficient in curing cases of blood disorder and liver and stomach trouble as well as many other chronic, or lingering ail ments. This concentrated extract of Nature's vitality he named "Golden Med ical Discovery." It purities the blood by putting the stomach and liver Into healthy condition, thereby helping the digestion and assimilation of food which feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak stomach, Indigestion, torpid liver, or bil iousness, and kindred derangements. If you have coated tongue, with bitter or bad taste in tho morning, frequent headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches or pain in side, back gives out easily and aches, belching of gas, constipation, or Irregular bowels, feel flashes of heat al ternating with -chilly sensations or kin dred symptoms, they point to derange ment of your stomach, liver and kidneys, which the "Golden Medical Discovery" will correct more speedily and perma nently than any other known agent. Con tains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs. All Its Ingredients printed in plain Eng lish on wrapper. The sole motive for substitution Is to permit the dealer to make a littlo more profit. He gains; yon lose. Accept no sub stitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." Constipation cause and aggravates many serious diseases. It is thoroughly cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
