BaMeg Powder Economy The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. The Royal is made from the most highly refined and wholesome ingredients, and is the embodiment "of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is cheaper at its price than any similar article. Samples of mixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis tributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food, and in many cities their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

Hariischaiii.k, Or , May "a 10 0. My Dear Drueilla: Your letter received and I hasten to answer it. I don't see bow any faithful member ol the W. (J. T. U. could have any sym pathy with the g.o p. but it eeems that the dose of political dodging those (cl ows eavu von in their so cal'ed speeches has completely turned you against that party, and I don't nondei at it. I have heard the same report from several places and have thoroughly made up my ni'nd to vo-e for the feliows who believe in economy in county statv and nation. rhoje fellows must indeed be hard up if the trump np the plea that Linn coun ty roads and bridges are any the worse for the low lax levy. I will answer your query at once, for I have had some chance to know the conditiou ol roads in both Lane and Marion countiO". havimz driven across both counties several times ol late ytars and I know that the charge ib not true, but that Linn county's roads and bri-lgeif compare very favorably with tnoae ol notn tnoie counties. iio:n t,aue and Marion with their high tax levy, have some very bad pieces ol road within a lew miles of their couuty seats. Tha1, ridiculous plea won't catch anybody but h sucker. Before I go any lurthei, let me advise yon not to lose auy sleep over the tear that I may vote the republican ticket. 1 have taken to doing eou-e of my own thinking along political lines in stead of swallowing every piece of tom foolery the party managers take a notion to throw to the gullible. It makes me extremely weary to ate men who have pretty good sense ou almost everything else, accept as gospel truth, every Btate ment lie hears or reads Irom Lis own party leaders, ana brand as a he, every thing coming from any other source. It is eucb imbecility on the part ol voters that encourages politicians to tell such whoppers as those fellows did to whom you listened. Head or quote any fact to the aveiago voter during a campaign, and il it is against his party he will sav : -"Oh , you can't believe all you hear in a political campaign.'' ;And vet he will be lieve implicitly all he finds iu his paper, or hears his leaders say. If there are such miserable liars in one uartv. L wonder how they keep th-in out ot the other. But 1 am awaie of the fact ttist the union candidates have reform measures to advocate, while the repub licans have nothing to advocate but their own election, bence they are lelt no al ternate but to hatch out someth'ng on Bhort notice, end as lying is the stock in trade ol their leaders, tliey take tlieir cue and go about "seeking whom they may devour." 1 uniterBtaad that one of their candi dates for legislature makes no longwiud- ed Bpeecnes, and Having notning to say kr Ins pni'iv nor against the olliers, lias sense enough not to say anything. If I nad to vote for any oi them I'd vote lor that fellow, but be ie in bad company, and I'm fclud there are enough just as good men on tne union ticL-et. xou spoke ot tne poeaiu.iuy or my los ing my job, well it may happen. A cer tain mill company, let all their lands have a lay off to hear a republican speak er, but would not let them goto hear the other aie'e, and il theae fellows find that I am working against the republicans, they will likely turn me ott, put rigtit is right and if 1 knew I'd lose my job I will vote for men who are not afraid to say what they lavor. 6b to losing our homo, if dies.- high- tax fellows re to go into otlice in Linn county, they will pile taxds up so that I would aa Boon not ov. n a foot of land fur them to tax me to death. But there are honest employers as well as lioneaf of 11 o Beckers and it I lose my job I'll find an other, and hope taxes will be no higher. In conclusion lot me say ii.nr it mere No meeting of the Elks tonight. Post poned. A O. Ueam returned frcm the Bay this noon.
