I'n.'v Ing that wisdom crops out in unex pected places, tho 7 years late. There is nothing in tho evidence against .lark DenipHoy, charged with evuHion of the draft, .to show that he made either tracks or tractors. Unless deviltry is resinned along tho Mexican border at once, the pres ent period of quiet will 'be used as an ullhi for taking a mandate over Turkey. Comparing Lc'a Angeles with Med ford is a favorite pastimo in these boosting days, and, as far as the start 1b concerned Loa Angeles has tho "worst of It. However, It is what a "city stops with that counts. If Los Angeles had Crater hako within SO miles of the city limits, the hardships of un Arctic explorer would not have to ho endured to get there, and alter arrival thero wo'uld he something to , do besides devouring fried trout. Also, in California their system is to let go or u dollar on the theory that It will hrlng back another one. In Oregon, tho clutch only works one way. DEMOCRACY, DO YOU BELIEVE IN IT? IT i astonishing how many gin if I citizens aren't, demo crats. i!y democrats wo don't mean the Democratic part v. we mean helievers in dcmm-nii-;-. The otliei' dv William .Jennings Kiyan gifve an address ;n .Illinois on the initiative and rcli-rendum m winch he declared that only Ihe people have the right to rule. He admitted the people would make mistakes, hut they would lie jii ul'italile mistakes, and through them the people would ho cluoated to a better government. The public official who can not trust Ihe people, who does not believe in the ultimate fairness and wisdom of the people, has no right to hold office in a democracy, lie better go elsewhere. .There is nothing new in this duel rine. Thomas Jeffer son :;aid 1 Ik; same thing, so did Abraham Lincoln, so did Theodore Roosevelt. And yet while the principle i.s sel dom denied in theory, it is frequent ly denied in practice. Tin.' scept icism which Mr. liryan'.s pronouncement was re ceived in Jlliuois, proves it. And yet, if one comes to think of it, our entire system of American life is based upon this principle. The jury system is an example. And the wonder is imt that juries sometimes make mistakes, but that; mistakes are made so seldom. This is due to what a well-known writer has 'ailed the "political over-soul"- the strange but unerring instinct of right, and justice, which the composite heart and mind almost unconsciously dictates. So many people who profess to love their country at hear', dispise its fundamental 'principles. Captains fo in dustry have, been notorious in this regawl, from the daws of Tweed, and Crocker, Commodore Vanderbilt and Jay Conld, who frankly based their political and business elhhs upon the principle of the public be damned. This principle in recent years has fortunately been largely dis carded, for the enlightened business man, as well as the enlightened politician has come to realize, that demoeratic faith is not a pretty abstraction, but a sound prineph; of .success. Li the present ti of unrest and readjustment, it is important to keep the fundamental principles of American government clearly in mind. Efficiency may sometimes be retarded by freedom, but to make a Cod of material ef ficiency is to sell t he soul of I (emocracy as has been rat her effef i vely demonstrated the past few years. There is no middle ground, no perch on the fence in this proposition. We aro either believers in Democracy or we aren't. As Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court re cently said in a decision, which might well bo treasured as :i text book (.if American policy. "The theory of our constitution is that truth is the only ground upon which men's wishes can bo carried out. ".If the people can't bo trusted with facts that establish I rut h, I )enioeracv fails. CHEERFUL TALK 'Prohibition and the League of Na tions aro the cause ami cure of all ills according to your belief. In all the abuse that has been henped upon the pacific and estim able Hon. Noot Maker, no one has mentioned him for the vice presidency, Sam Richardson is waiting with a wagon spoke for a crack at Dr. Kilns Swinton of Pittsburg, who in a lec ture Monday declared that the babies of tho present lack "mental grasp." Thero seems to bo no way to make Turkey pay the penalty for "crimes against civilization,' whiih Includes inventing tho Turkish cigarette.

Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Tliat ia the joyful cry of lliousnnda since Dr. Ixlwiicls prixlua-d OUv .'.Tablets, tile substitute for calomel. Dr. Idward3, a i)iiiclicins' physician for 17 years and calomel's old-dme enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients lor chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing Vegetable laxative. No griping is the "keyrote" of these little sugar-coated, olive-colonel lali Jets. T1h.'V cause the tiouels and liver to act hormallv. They never lone them to unnatural action. If vou have a "dark brown m nth" ljad tireath a duH, tired filing- sick headache torpid liver ronstipatii -n, you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re sults from one or two of Dr. Kdwanls Olivfr Tablets at bedtime.
