The cold blooded murder last week
in Josephine county of an old couple
on their way to Sunday school, re­
calls the numerous atrocious crimes
of this nature that have been commit­
ted in Oregon since the repeal o.'
capital punishment for murder. With
the lieniency shown criminals and the
abuse of the paroling and pordoning
power of recent chief executives,
few people with murder in their
hearts hesitate to carry out their evil
designs. It is questionable if the peo­
ple did not make a serious mistake
when they abolished capital punish­
ment in this state.—Itemizer.

Nearly every town has two classes
of citizens—the boosters and the kil­
lers. All the world loves the former,
but even the devil shuns the latter.
Be a booster! The town booster is
known by everybody, for he is always
doing and saying something to push
his town and his people along. He is
the man who makes the town. The
killer is the one who destroyes it. Be
a booster! The booster never loses
anything but his boosting. He boosts
other people and other people boost
him, ’and through this combination of
boosting great things are accomplish­
ed. It is only the killer who fails of
his own deeds. Be a booster! The
booster is like a ray of sunshine on a
cloudy day. He brightens everything
and everybody around him. His Gen­
iality, his cheerfulness, his energy
and his good deeds breed hope in tiie
bosom of dispair. His words and his
acts aid others and enable himself.
But the killer only kills, kills, kills!
Be a booster.—Ione Journal.
Standing beside his royal and im-
penal sire, a long and safe distance
from the battlefield, the Crown
[ Prince gave orders to his command-
I ing generals to take Verdun at what-
| ever cost of men the victory might
t involve. After the conflict—stid to
| have been the most sanguinary in
| histroy—the tri-color of France still
’ floated over Verdun and a hundred
r thousand German soldiers had per-
I ished. Inasmuch as the CrownPrince
[ and Kaiser are engaged in war, and
1 as they undoubtedly believe that the
I possession of Verdun was vital to the
[ success of their plans, they no doubt
I felt justified in sending to be slaught-
tered not only as many men as the
F French could conviently kill, but en-
I ough to so effectually tire the French
I in their task that they wTnild succumb
I to weariness, be overwhelmed, and
I yield the goal for which the Germans
I strove. That is war, in which, as in
»everything else, a man must “contend
■ to the uttermost for his life’s set
I prize.” The sin that Robert Brown-
II ing would have imputed to the Crown
Prince and Kaiser“is the unlit lamp
and the ungirt loin”—because in fail­
ing to have enough men ready for the
slaughter, they permitted their plans
1 to fail. History will not remember
I Verdun so much for the failure of the
I Germans to take it as for the splendid
| heroism of the French in holding it.
[What a magnificent people the
¡French are.—The Spectator.
Salem, Portland and Other Hogs.
----- o------
Some grandmotherly old woman
I once when the matter of naming the
I animals by Adam was being discuss-
I ed, said she, “thought it must have
i been an awful hard job to think of all
I the names and make them fit the
'animals so well, but any blamed fool
I of a man could have named a hog.”
Maybe it is because of the ease
with which that name can be saddled
onto any person, place or thing, that
it is done so frequently. Here in Ore­
gon the first to try his hand on this
kind of metaphor, selected Salem,
and, “the Salem hog” at once got a
reputation for greediness that extend­
ed over the entire state.
The term was applied to someone
outside of Salem who wanted office,
as discriptive of some other one liv­
ing in, or located at Salem, who
wanted the same office, There is a
wide difference between the terms
“living in” and “located at,” but it is a
difference that the assiduous office-
seeker seldom draws. Let a man be
elected to any state office which re­
quires his presence here, should he
run again to succeed himself, he is at
once credited to Salem, and Salem is
tat once a candidate for the hog pen.
r i If there is an appropriation asked to
make necessary extensions or repairs
to state property located at the cap-
lital, “the Salem hog” is accused of
(saddling this coat onto the state, and
I of devouring the appropriation at a
I gulp, just to satisfy an inordinate
I craving. Salem is credited however
I with being a political hog principally,
t and only a piglet otherwise.
She isn’t in it with Portland when
lit comes to being the whole hog. Ac-
[ cording to some, our metropolis is
I the boss Berkshire of the coast. To
I others she is the Poland China for
ham, the Chester White for the side
meat, the Duroc for color and the
razor-back for bristles, tail, snout,
I speed and appetite.
There are others that it would seem
| had as much right to get into the por-
| cine pen as Salem and Portland, but
somehow they manage to avoid the
name. No one ever hears of the Cor­
vallis hog; yet nearly one-seventh of
all the taxes collected by the state go I
f to the Agriculture College.
We are not objecting to this, but
merely pointing out that some of the
nomenclature folks are overlooking
I an opportunity.
I About $150,000 a year goes to the
! branch asylum at Pendleton, which
i should make some shote for the "Let
’er buck” community.
About $280,000 a year goes to the
I University of Oregon, which makes
Eugene big enough to have a ring in
1 her nose.
,
Then there are the soldiers’ home,
normal schools and other institutions
scattered over the state.

district attorneys $68,000 and the

Uncle Silas Says.
------- o
Mr. Osburn—I was very highly en­
tertained by the young man you have
employed when 1 was over at your
place yesterday during your absence.
1 had heard of him through Bobby
Jenkins, who became acquainted with
him at the agricultural college. It
seems that the young man graduated
at the close of last term and from his
talk to me 1 infer he knows every­
thing that is worth knowing. Well,
he is quite young, and we must make
allowances for his conceit. Nothing
in all this age of wonderful progress
quite equals the intuitive knowledge
of youth. It is as though all the wis­
dom of the ages has been showered
upon the present generation, and the
sum total of everything has been
crystallized in the mind of the new-
born child. W e old fogies must keep
a room full of reference books and
refer to them for facts, but for spon­
taneous wisdom and cocksure know­
ledge the child of 10 will beat the
man pf 50, and the young man of 20
absolutely knows that the man of 70
is densely ignorant, of the world’s
progress. Like the present youth, 1,
too, once knew everything; but, find­
ing myself too far in advance of my
time, 1 began unlearning learning un­
til now 1 am absolutely nothing. That
leaves me in the extra pleasant state
of mind of second childhood and
newspaper reading. Anybody’s grand­
son who has passed the age of riding
wooden horses knows a great deal
more than his grandfather about
everything. The various intellectual
bumps on his head continue to devel­
op, though his hair fails to grow, and
at the age of 7 he looks like a man of
92. The ordinary office boy is much
wiser as a business asset than his em­
ployer, and if he stays on the job
long enough it is probable that the
boss will know something of business
He is generally very polite and on
the whole treats his employer well,
but probably his condesccntion is due
to the fact that his employer con­
tinues to hold on to the bank account.
Sister Sue, you say you would like
to live a hundred years. Well, you
certainly bid fair to get there, but the
fact is that long or short life depends
upon the use or abuse of the body.
1 here is not much doubt that a hun-
dren years is the normal length of
life if there is normal care taken of it
from childhood. The creater did a
good job; the trouble is the people
commit slow suicide. The stomach is
the storm center of the body. All
other organs sympathize with it in its
every-day misery. The comamnd to
work six days and rest the seventh
day man does not apply to his
stomach. The poor thing has to be
loaded up three times a day and on
Sundays it has an extra task. Eat and
sleep is the order on Sunday just like
the hogs. It is said it is better to
wear out than to rust out. History
does not record a case where the
human stomach rusted out; it works
days and night until the lining gets
full of holes, and then the sexton is
called to dig a hole in the ground.
Indigestion is another name for too
much digestion. As long as eatibles
and drinkables taste good when they
are going down
the gullet the
stomach has to be a chattie slave and
when disease comes then every other
part of the bady suffers. When the
drunkard fills up on "booze” then the
brain wants to go to sleep to give
the stomach time to wrestle with its
load. When the glutten gives his
stomach a Belshazzar load, then the
heart forgets to pump and the hand­
writing appears on the wall. Man and
women will probably never be angels
in this world because they fail to use
the angelic faculties that they have.
The moral business is to get the ker-.
nel of truth out of a large quantity of
chaff. Methuseleh, we are told, lived
969 years. Who believe it? The truth
is he lived 969 months, which made •
him 86 years and 9 months old when
he died. Away back in the ages some
smart jake, to make a sensation,
changed months into years, so it has
come down through tradition, which
is always more or less untruthful. A
human heart never pumped blood
nearly a thousand years. Human
lungs never pumped air that length of
time. People get deaf, dumb, blind
and embicle before they get much be­
yond 125 years old. People are not
overstocked with brains when they
are young and the little they have in
the beginning is about gone at 100
years of life; so don't pray to live
much beyond that. The much-vaunt­
ed pleasures of old age are mythical.
An extravagant idea will travel half
around the earth while a plain truth
is getting its boots on.

Charley Chaplin and Others.
Charlie Chaplin, the idol of
i movie audience is also worshipped of
the movie managers. Because the
people want him. And that they must
have him at any price, the reported
closing of a contract with him tor the
enormous pay of $600,000 during the
coming year is ample evidence. The
contract, is of course, tor one year
only. Even movie managers could not
make such terms for a contract cov­
ering a series of years
But what of that? As the case
stands , Charlie Chaplin will draw in
that one year if this report is true,
enough to pay him twice the amount
of money which will be paid to Mr.
Wilson during the term of his four
year contract between him and the
United States. And, as things look
now, Charley Chaplin is more likely
to have his contract renewed at the
end of the designated time than is the
president.
But it may not be renewed at the
same figure. Charley niay strike for a
raise, and even shorter working hours
No matter how he may feel about it
now, in the flush of such a triumph,
he is almost sure before the end of
the contract year to reach the con­
clusion that he is being under paid.
That is human nature. And Charley
Chaplin, like the Grand Monarque of
France, may need to assure thous­
ands of his worshipers that he is on­
ly human-. But he need not offer us
any such assurance. We are convinc­
ed that he is so far human that he
will be growing dissatisfied with his
$600,000 before the time comes when
he can ask for an advance. Railroad
presidents, baseball managers and
baseball pitchers, plumbers and all of
the men who are on the topnotches
of money making, should try to form
a labor federation with Charlie Chap­
lin and then level up the scale of fed­
eration wages to his. It would not de­
pend on Charlie whether such a labor
federation could be made. We doubt
if the railroads, under present trying
conditions, would undertake to pay
their presidents even an approxima­
tion of the Chaplin salary, and this
year’s outlook for baseball holds out
little hope of such an attempt being
made. Not even the plumber’s lead-
pipe cinch could put him in such run­
ning. As for making the salary of the
president of the United States even
half of Charlie Chaplin's, the thing
will never be thought of we elect a.

Mrs. Lydia Pearson, 1017 Third St.,

back bothered me a great deal. I had
headaches and often felt tired. I tried
a number of medicines but nothing
seemed to give me much relief. After
taking Doan's Kidney Pills a short
time, I was entirely free from kidney
disease. The backache and other
troubles left me. (Statement given
Aug. 28, 1907).

Just What Was Expected.
Speaker Champ Clark says that the
Vnucrwood bill is doing
•V'Ji what was
expected of it. Champ no doubt in­
tended that statement for a defense
of the bill, which embraced the tanif
policy of the Democratic party. When
considered in connection with the
facts, the statement, instead of a de_-
fense of the measure, is a generous
but damaging admission. The Under­
wood bill is doing what was expected
of it by those who are capable of
comprehending the dangers of free
trade. It created a depression of busi­
ness previous to the war as great in­
extent as the geography of the coun­
try. It is permitted 71 per cent of our
imports to come in free of duty. It
has proven a dismal failure as a pro­
ducer of revenue, which, even accord­
ing to a Democratic standard, is a
necessary function of a tariff. It was
claimed for it by its friends that it
would reduce the cost of living. It
has been about as successful in that
particular as Henry Ford has been in
stopping the European war. Yes,
Speaker Clark is right. The Under-
wood bill has done what was expect-
ed—that was expected by its oppon-
ents rather than its friends.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.
The close oonnnotion which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well knoWn nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
inoreased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease cf brain or lungs.

Now They Want another Juat Like it
A number of energetic Republicans
are making their campaigns against
the present Wilson tariff.
When the war is over it will be
demonstrated that the Wilson tariff
is a failure. It will be a failure at a
revenue producer and also as a pro-
tection to the American people.
But let us remember that the Wil-
son tariff was made possible by Re­
publican agitation. The Democrats
never could have made it. The Demo­
crats could never have converted the
American people. The conversion
was made by dissatisfied and ambi­
tious Republicans.
It is gratifying to know that the
Republicans who made the present
tariff possible have seetr the error of
their ways.
The Wiisoo tariff is a mistake, but
let us not place the blame entirely
upon the Democrats.
The Fayne-Aldrich tariff brought
prosperity, and a large number of
Republican leaders, finding it neces­
sary to have something to talk about
found fault with it. They made it ap­
pear a hideous thing—and now they
want another just like it.
