called to tbe laeue ttiia uolne In
volves. ' , . ...
la tbe palmy days of Oregon a polit
ical machine, of wblob tijr were in
tesral parte and benelm tors, tbeee
oonaplratora were tbe political usurp,
eri In tbe politloa and government of
tbeetate. On their part It i squired
no recognition of right from wrong,
no adberenoe to clvio decency, no de
votion to ethics, no eeune ot houenty,
no regard for or knoledge ot the
fundamental poweie, rights and du
ties of American oitlzeusblp to b
political bosses. All tuev needed, all
they bad, waa of their ou oreatlon
tbe party baiter and the party lash,
and tbeee sufficed for tbe domiuatiou
and manipulation ot a hair uao
ohleed eleotoiate whose responsibility
waa ahlfted by the perty iron the In
dividual to tbe irresponsible paity
boss; the party assumiug for itself
and Its boaa tbe assumption tl the
King. "The King oan do uu wiong.
Tbe namea of Oregou'a u autilue
politicians, living and de.d, iita iu
tbe memory ot the people as witussses
to tble truth. But those now living
and who would revitalize in order to
ornament and adorn Oregon's politi
cal past putresoenoe bate no couoep
tlon of the power of a completely en
franchised people.'.tborougbly awaken
ed to tbelr own place and their
fundamental importance in the
schema of government.
Tbe pretext for JnatlBoaUon upon
wblob this anti-statemeut No. 1 con
spiracy ia based is tbe ntwertlou that
the primary law destroj perty organ
ivntlnn and. theietore. ution such
nKraYfc- U nredloated an appeal to
party prejudloe as tbe means to the
ml of overthrowing the law. If
"manhlna" ia meant by tbe trm
nrt organization." and party or
sanitation baa no other or higher
meaning than tbe oouoept of a uieob
anient of Individual human units un
nnaationlnulv obedient to a boss'
will, then yes, it not only destroys
party 'organization, but . it ought to
destroy it in the interest of free citi
zenship and common aecenoy.
Tl na trv this issue out apain be
tween tbe would-be party tosses, big
and little, and the electorate, to An
ally deteimlne whether the boss shell
furnish us with our party faith, our
nartr nlatform and our party noml
neee for publio office, or wbotber tbe
rank and nie or me ntuunuau eiua
turate, holding in common among
thnmaelvaa Keoublloau belefe and
opinions, shall do these thlugs under
the provisions oi ine taw tuey iuoui
aelvea anaoted.
In MaDonsetto tbe fiautlo appeals to
party prejudice Invoked agaiuit tbe
primary law ana siaienieui u. i, it
ia weU to oall attention to tbe tact
that Lincoln aaid this nation bod
been brought forth and dedloated to
the proposition that all nieu are
created equal; that tbe civil war was
fought to determine whether It or
any other nation eo oouoelved and so
dedicated oould long endure. And in
the dedication ot the battle field of
Gettysburg he aald: "It la rather
for ue to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us, thai
from these honored dead we take lu
creased devotion to that cause fur
which they gave the labt full measure
of devotion, that we have highly re
solved that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, under
God. shall have a new birth ot fiee-
dom. and that goverumeut ot the poo
pie, by the people, tot the people,
shall not perish from the earth."
He never said party once.
President Roosevelt has aald: "A
party is of worth only In so far as it
promotes the national Interests, and
every officer, high or low. can serve
the perty best by reuderlog to tbe
people the best service oi wnieu ne
is capable;" properly reoonnizing
tbe people, and not the party, as the
sovereign power. 1
Washington, in bis farewell addres

As pointed out many times hereto

to penalize disobedience to its man

OVERTAXED
Hundreds of Hood River Readers Know
What this Means.
The kidneys are overtaxed ;

Backache, sldeache, headache,

Grounds, Tbe Dalles, Or., pays: "I am
lust as clad to recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills today as I was in 1903, wlion I
had just tried the remedy. I had b.-en
suffering dull, nagging pains in the
small of the back which was often tor
ture. There was an annoying irregular
ity of the kidney secretions, passages
being too frequent and containing a
dark sediment. I waa in this condition
when I got Doan's Kidney Pills. The
remedy helped me from the first, not
only relieving the pain, but regulating
the kidney secretions. I got beneficial
and lasting results in every way."

Places All Forest Lands In Reserve.
Washington, Feb. 25. At one stroke
of tbe lieutenant governor's pen, 150,
000,000 acres of forest land In British
Colombia have been placed In ie
serves. Ibis Inclodss every acre i f
tbe province's timber land, exctjt
what has been leased. This Is as
mnoh lard ss waa pat in tb national
forests of this country between tba
years 1891 and 1007.
Tbls action was. taken to cbeok
wasteful exploitation ot timber re
sources and to bring tbe car aod
cutting ot timber more effectually un
der government control.
lbe province bas been leading tim
ber land Instead of telling It Tbe
most of the leasing has been done tbe
past three ut four jeers and Ameii
cans hold tbe iargeil pait of tbe 10,
000 leases now In foroe. Tba leas Is,
InKseOect, a long term option at
low rate. It runs "Zl yeaia and may
be renewed at tba end ot the flr-t
term. Tbe leasee psys 25 ceutx a year
until he is ready to out tbe t'mbei,
wbeu be pays a royalty ot 50 cents pei
1000 feet, board measure, lor tbe tim
ber removed. Tbe Income of tbe
province fionj leases waa about II,-
275,000 last year.
British Columbia is tbe latest of the
great soft wood timber regions to be
Invaded by lumbei meo. J be great
industry began its work In Maine two
or three generations ago; passed later
to tbe pine and hemlock forests ot
Pennsylvania and New York, aod
when supply ran siort there, they
moved to Michigan, Wisoooslu and
Minnesota. The pine woode ot the
lake states held out a long time, but
the decline finally became bo rapid
that tbe scene of operations was shift
ed to Washington and Oiegon. The
output of tbe Puget sound region torn
to first place and it is etill at top
notch, but holdiiif.'s aie harder to
gtt and buyers and speculators have
oiOHHed Into British Cclumbla. While
there are many rich stands of t'mber
in tbe province, it is doubtful If the
forest woods furnish a cut ot more
than 100 to 150 bllliuu feet of lumber
less than this country uses iu eigh
teen months.
Urltish Colnbmia does uot permit
tbe export of logs ou provincial laud.
They must be sawed bv mills n tbe
province, wblob evidently Intends not
only to take rare of its timber, but to
make tbe most out ot It. An export
duty has been seriously considered by
tbe dominion government for all the
provinces ot Canada. It Is apparent
that British Colombia will not be
slow to take any advantage which tbe
further diminishing of tbe timber sup.
ply of tbe United States may attoid
ber In the lumber trade.

Catarrh Cure, Cooper's Nine C'.
There are thosanuds of people who
suffer with Catarrh, but do little or no
thing to remove the dread disease. This
neglect permits the disease to inflame
the Mucus Membrane and may affect
the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, bowels
or bladder. Cold aggravates Catarrh
and if allowed to become chronic it leads
to Bronchitis and also to Consumption.
Fully forty per cent of the deaths in
America are lrom diseases or the air

cured. It is also a sure cure for Croup,
