ATHENA. ORE.. AUGUST 28... 1908
Tbe story that tbe democrats bad
practically abandoned tbe east before
tbe beginning of tbe fight and tbat
tbeir efforts would be centered in the
west was, of conrse, without founda
tion. Tbe democratic campaign will
inolude every state in tbe union, and
tbe figbt will be as bot and as deter
mined in New York, New Jersey and
Counectiout as in Obio, Indiana and
Illinois, every one of wbiob is a doubt
ful state and all of wbiob are, there
fore, fighting ground.
Tbe straggle is going to be historic.
Tbe demooratio party has never teen
in better spirit. It is entering into
tbe battle with magnificent courage
and in full confidence of tbe justioe of
its cause. It is more nearly united
than it has been at any time before
since tbe rebellion. Mr. Bryan is
stronger in the affections of tbe people
than be was 12 years ago. He has a
wider acquaintance. Even those op
posed to bim bave come to respeot and
admire bim, and many thousands who
distrusted bim in previous campaigns
will give bim their loyal support in
1008. Tbat be will win is tbe pro
found beliof of many of tbe keenest
politioal observers of tbe day. Tbe
Hearst defection meaus less than many
at first blush will estimate. Mr.
Hearst's following has always been
largely composed of organized labor,
and organized labor baa always been
largely republican in sentiment. His
independence party is, therefore, likely
to .hurt Taft much more than it will
hurt Mr. Bryuu. It may, indeed, belp
tbe demooratio nominee, it will, at
least, not seriously impair Mr. Bryan's
chances, Iu faot.'all things tend to
enbanoe. Tho republicans bave a tre
mendous burden to carry ns a result of
tbe industrial breakdown and tbe ex
posure of tbeir false and impious "pros
perity" pretensions.
' Among tbe bopeful signs of tbe bet
terment of society is tbe ban .that is
everywhere being put upon profanity.
Aside from all religious considerations
no man laying claim to common de
cency wi'l larder bis speech with pro
fanity. Tbe man who in season and
out of season uniformly curses and
damns bis employes upon tbe cheap
pretext that this is tbe only way in
which to get work out of them and
keep them in wholesome fear of bim,
is not only lacking iu theiustinotsof a
gentleman, but is utterly unfit to gov
ern men. He advertises the poverty
of bis speeoh and the shallowness of
bia brain. Tima was when this kind
of treatment might bave bad some
standing' iu society, but tbat day is
happily gone by, and tbe man who
would have footing now in society
must oleau bis mouth, or take a plaoe
with the ignoraut lout who considers
tbe vehemence and volume of bis oaths
a sign of actual alertness.
The Committee on Ways and Moaus
appointed by the Oregon Good Roads
Conference bave arranged for a Mood
Roads Convention at Tillamook Sep
tember -1 tli . aud another at Rosoburg
September li2ud. Other meetings are
uuder oousideratiou aud defiuite dates
will be decided witbiu a few days.
There is uuiversal determination to
luase this campaign tbe most effective
the state has evot experienced.
Tbe republican campaign chest can't
be as empty as all this talk about re
fusing contributions with a corporation
taint would indicate. Tbe aunouuee
in e tit is made that the national com
mittee is goiux to send money into
Vermout for use iu tbe state eleotiou
there, which is just a month away.
Wooever is elected presideut, or
auybiug else, Oiegon is goiug to euter
right soou upon a period of railroad
building, and other development such
as has ttevor beeu witnessed in this
state before. So we need not worry
much about politics.
Tbe people of Oregon will be duly
appreciative of Mr. Harriniau's prom
ised activity iu railroad building in
Oregon, but a good many of tbem will
believe tbat tbe man tbat f owed bim
icto tbiaaotivity, olorVthau all others,
ia Mr. J. J. Hill.
Tbe prohibition , candidate for tbe
pteaidotioj was aiuiot IjWboJ ftt
Lincoln and 'bit on tbe bead witb a
brick at Springfield. Biding on tbe
waterwagon seems to invite some dangers.
This is a dull year in business, and
300,000 freight cars are still idle in
consequence of tbe republican panic,
and as a result tbe politicians find it
difficult to create enthusiasm.
be eats pie should be less important to
tbe boys than bow be passes it around.
New York is going to bave a wo
man's balloon race. Perhaps that's
why they were wearing balloon sleeves
a few years ago just for practice.
Standard Oil trust shares bave ap
preciated $370,000,000 since tbe panio,
so it will be no great strain on Brother
Rockefeller to contribute a million
or so to tbe republican campaign fund.
There would seem to be some fric
tion between Chairman Hitchcock and
Seoretarv Dover of tbe republican na
tional committee, wbiob indicates tbat
tbe old Hauna machine is hanging
back in tbe traces.
, An ideal citizenship makes an ideal
nation, state, county, city, town, vil
lage, bamlet or community, iu a coun
try governed as this is. It is always
up to tbe voters to deoide the destiny
of the country.
- An American has succeeded in navi
gating an airship several hundred feet
up iu tbe air in Paris. But the average
visitor in Paris doesn't want to get
tbat far away trom tbe cafes and tbeir
sights.
An eastern girl who has $500 in tbe
Lank says sbe ia tired, of working in a
pickle factory. A single girl with
tbat much money must bave an awful
vinegary disposition.
Turkish women are to be allowed
greater freedom. Inasmuch as tbey
already wear the trousers, tbe next
thing they'll be wanting to carry tbe
latchkey.
It now looks as if the republican
maobine lea dors of New York would
lack tbe courage of tbeir couviotions
aud not dare aggressively to oppose tbe
renomination of Governor Hughes.
George Bernard Shaw has written a
new play entitled "Getting Married"
and tbe newspapers call it a oomedy.
Ask tbe average married man what be
thinks.
Last week'e rainfall is said to bave
been worth a million dollars an hour.
And yet the prohibitionists declare tbe
country will be better off when it ia
dry.
By tbe way, while discussing tbe
other important issues of tbe day,
neit her Bryan nor Taft has said a word
about tbe sheath gown.
A Chicago man has written a book
in wbiob be says tbe stage aud all so
ciety are bad. He knows what will
be good for bis book.
Tbe announcement that Taft waltzes
is not surprising; a man of bis shape,
is of course, a round danoer.
There are manv imitations of De
Witt's Caibolized Witch Hazel Salve
but just one original. Sold by Palace
Drug Co.
Taooma reports a race war. What
Washington needs is a governor like
Hughes, who will put a stop to all races.
A Minnesota candidate for governor
is said to eat pie witb bis knife. How

Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root :
"In relation to Its general effects on the

"Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, monor
