SERIOUS QUESTIONS. 1 It Is Interesting to observe that the Omaha strikers. recently got out an in- . .i Junction against the usiness men, for. ,'- bidding 4hem to boycott the strikers or 1 to hold meetings at which to conspire against union labor and plan to inter ( fere with ts workings. Heretofore the ''laborers have inveighed against the injunction,' but now they see in it a j-. weapon that can be wielded quite as " ' effectively; by -strikers as by the em ployers. Judge Dickinson issued the Injunction which was even more dras tic than that granted against the un "f Ions by the-Federal Court ten days be j fore. The Important point, however, J is not that the Injunction serves as well - the' employes as : the . employers, for - there is nothing new In this. Kvery" one acquainted with the facts " " of the law Is' aware that the injunction j -1 -4 .1 , is the r.itlt arm of the court and prop er for thet enforcement of its authority, . , and amsettitceable for one class of citl ; xens as' 'another. We must pause to , consider, however, the serious situation when the relations of employers " and .. exopioyed haYft. to be , gstahUshed. , and ""made clear by resort to court "of law. .f"Ti--Rently a. 'manufacturing concern in an Eastern city that had beerf closed up by a. strike ordered by a local union sued the union and secured Judgment f or (damages.. It is contended by somea lawyers that such a judgment could be enforced against thet members of a un ion, though it was not incorporated against them as individuals, like a joint note, requiring those having property to pay, though some members might escape on account of having no prop erty, i ! ' ' : Now It will be in order for locked out laborers to sue the members of as sociations of employers for damages, securing Judgments that may be en forced against Individuals and individ ual firms and coiporat Ions. i . Perhaps this thing of resorting to courts of law, and establishing and marking: out the legal rights and re sponsibilities of both sides' may lead to some good, after alL Perhaps In the end It may transpire that it, is safer and cheaper to arbitrate and treat with each other on grounds of fairness and justice than to strike on the one side, or to lock out on the other. , The Statesman would suggest that this would be an excellent time for the new Department of Labor and Com merce to look up and define the legal rights and responsibilities of employer and employee, and more especially as sociations of either.

There is a disease ' prevailuig in this country most da r, parous because so decep tive. Many suddec deaths are caused by It heart disease, pneumonia, - heart failure or. apoplexy r are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is at 1 t J us j j luuixj'poijgnca. blood will attack the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. : :. . ' Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement cf the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. ; If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver -and bladder remedy. ' . It corrects inability to -hold urine and scald ing pain in passing tt, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity cf being compelled to ga often during the day, and7 to get up many times during the night. - The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands' the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis covery and a book that eus au about tt, Dom sws-ap-Booc sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co. Bmgharnton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any -mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y on every bottle. . f : ' ' that merit the consideration of our ablest'men.' They are the concern, of our whole people. The solution , of the problems that arise In this connection is the most necessary thing to be done now. for the continuation and stability of our present prosperity, and for the well being of all our people. NEW GROUND FOR DIVORCE. Philadelphia, although it has the rep utation of j being slow, occasionally comes forward with something new under the sun. In this Instance, it Is a novel ground for divorce. It Is all on account of naming the baby, . The home of Frederick Buckiand Is shrouded in deep, Impenetrable -gloom. Mamma, Buckiand casually announced one morning, about christening time, that the baby should bear the rather musical name of Isabel, after her mother. Papa Buckiand did not take kindly to he name,! and , suggested Gladys or Clarise or any old name, so long as it was not Isabel. ' Isabel, he explained at some length,' was his pet abomination. ; He objected to it on va rious grounds, but principally because he didn't like it. j I 1 Mrs. Buckiand insisted with great vehemence that the child's name was Isabel, and Isabel she should be called for all time. This angered- the head of the family and he went j j away in a pout. He stayed away so long that a magistrate sought r to bring him to sense of his obligations by holding him for non-support. The husband has told his story to a lawyer,'' with a view of obtaining a permanent separation. -' In the meantime the baby has been christened Isabel, and, whether its father comes home or - not, Isabel it will be called till the cows come home. AN ANALYSIS OF THE f. DENTS ADDRESS. PRESI As I heard It delivered, the Presi dent's address was a closely reasoned argument on the - subject which . has demanded so much of his attention and which he has dealt with in his us ual vigorous fashion. This question is the relation between' capital and labor, union and non-union. 'Possibly the telegram he received from Portland against his using the non-union 'built platform was the cause of the speech he made here. The President is a serious-minded man and will speak of those things which he is most serious iy conaiaenng. ills method of ap proaching his subject showed that he was not flattering his hearers or deI ing in general platitudes. His beli? that a sufficient solution of the prob iem vouia ue wuna was not the , ex pression of a sanguine hope, but - the mature statement of long deliberation and that such a solution was reason able and necessary. He used two de tailed illustrations. ; First. He dwelt on the long and bit ter controversies over religious belief. how men doubted their fellows who were of conflicting religious opinion. Disastrous wars resulted therefrom. But when men came to r the opinion that a man's faith was his private mat ter, and dealt with one another fairly, according to every . one , his Just dues. and demanding only that he be worthy citizen, a working solution of the religious problem Was found and religious toleration established. "We ask no man his creed. said the Presi- aenu -we oniy aemana tnat He be a man and a good citixen." s ..v : Second. Difference in political be lief has caused Q)any miseries and wars." One party, denying the sincerity of the other, attributed to It Improper motives; countless revolutions result ed therefrom, and. vast devastations. The unsuccessful 'party was harshly treated. The political toleration f ol towing the Civil i War . was a great achievement, He paid a glowing trib ute to the Grand Army of the Republic for the magnanimity with which they have treated a defeated foe. During the war, in the army, everyvman was valued for bis manly i qualities only. That principle, together with tolera- lit j i i m tion of political adversaries, was 'the basis of the rebuilding of the Union. The result was disclosed by the Span, Ish War. The Union is sound and per fect! " There were honest and ? brave men on both sides. On the basis of genuine manly' principle the Union was restored, and the principle of political toleration established . ; :i : ? " ' Third. A race and a nation, capable pftnll nf a. third, the establishment i af industrial toleration, of the com- . , : I i muni ty of Interest of labor ana capital. vital organs or thejTn rood cltlien is the desired' man. His; development Is the prime neces sity. Worthy, honest men wiJI direct-; ly find a basis of common welfare. The man who would array class against class, or incite dissension between la bor and capital, is the common enemy of both. The President expressed his conviction that the American people had virtue enough, a sufficient sense of justice,' and loxe of right dealing, with wisdom and character, to find a solu tion of this question, probably our greatest at present. The basis of this solution - Is industrial toleration. T have confidence In you, O my country men." Such seems to me to be . the outline of his speech, briefly and sim ply stated. It was a splendid argu ment, simply stated, that It might be understood of the people. Iti has ! a grandeur of conception that Increases with reflection and study. It was the sober statement byf; an effective C and capable man of a great belief. His ex perience makes it of the utmost value. That he should speak to Us his heart on this vital subject was a distinguished consideration, and an evidence! that he believes our people to be a worthy peo pie. . W. C. HAWLEYj Salem, Ore., May ,23,. 1903. , - ' , THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS. ; -r; : 'i -' ; ;' Although the loyalty of the South has become something of an old story, every fresh demonstration of it is re ceived with "pleasure by the North, particularly by its elderly and middle-; aged men in whose memories the fear ful passions of the Civil War' are still vivid. The speeches at the reunion of the United Confederate .Veterans in New Orleans breathe uniformly of the spirit of patriotism, of the sincerity of which no one. North or South, enter tains a doubt. It is a good sign when in song, and story and epeech the Southerners dwell not on the animosities and atrocities of the war. but on Its humorous fea tures.- Gen. John B. Gordon, the commander-in-chief of the United Confed erate Veterans, whose address 'in New Orleans last Tuesday was a model of good spirit and good rhetoric; contrib utes to Scribuer's Magazine for May the first of a series of articles on the Civil War from the Southerner's point of View. ' "There was. says General cordon, "at the outbreak of the war and just preceding it a class of men both North and South over whose in consistencies the thoughtful, self -poised, and determined men : who did the fighting made many jokes, as the situ ation grew more serious. It was that class of men In both sections who were most resolute in words and most pru dent in acts; who urged on the sec tions to the conflict and then did, little to help them out of it; who, like, the SKIN-TORTUREI BABIES' And Tired, Fretted Mothers .:'.'

Impatient war horse, sniffed the battle from afar very far; but who, Then real war began to roll its crimson tide nearer and nearer to them, came to the 'conclusion that It was better for the country, as well as for themselves, to labor in other spheres; and that it was their' duty, as America's great humor ist put it, to sacrifice not themselves, t4t their wives' relations on patriot istn's altar." ' Another type o warrior is hit off by General Gordon in this fashion; "A woodsman who was noted as a crack Shot among his hunting companions felt sure that he was 'going to win faYne as a select rifleman in the army; for he said rthat in killing a squirrel he always put the bullet through the head ; hough the squirrel might be perched aj the time on the topmost limb of the tallest tree. An Irishman, who had seen service In the Mexican wan and was attentively listening to this young hunter's boast, fixed his twinkling eye upon the aspiring rifleman, and said to him: 'Yes, but Dan, me boy, ye must ricollect that the squirrel had no gon in his hand to shoot back. at ye. j The young huntsman had not thought about that; but he-doubtless found later on, as the marksman of both armies did, that it. made a vast difference in the accuracy of aim when those In front nof only had 'gons in their hands, but were firing them with distracting ra pidity. This rude Irish philosopher had explained in a sentence one cause of the wild and aimless firing which wasted more tons of lead in a "battle than all its dead victims would weigh. AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURE. Six or eight years ago the maga xines contained pages and pages of advertisements of bicycles. In these days the bicycle ads have disappeared. but as much or more space Is used by automobile manufacturers In eulogistic description of their wares. ' The de mand for automobiles is large and con stantly Increasing. A writer In Leslie's Weekly says that Interest In automo Diims; is growing so rapidly that the American factories are running to their full capacity, and many of them are unable to keep pace with the demand. V few ; years ago Americans who bought these vehicles .were satisfied only with the French-made machine. Having had larger -experience,: the French manufacturers turned out a more finished product than the Ameri can. But the growing popularity here of automobiles, says the writer In. Les lie's, soon wrought great change in the situation. Bicycle manufacturers. the . makers of gasoline engines, ma chinists and carriage builders turned their attention to automobiles as the Be sure and see our S4J'b5(D) Press Skirt ' 7 worth $s.oo ; Be sure and see our (S5c White Underskirt " WORTH SI.OO Be snre'and see our $flB374 ",5 Be sure and see our Si'k Waist ' wr v, ,t . tforth S.ao Be sure and see pur 5)C ace Curtains Be sure and see our 3BC and $H-i25 Bed Spreads. . Be sure arid see our demand Increased. . Automobile clubs and associations of automobile manu facturers sprang into'existence, open ed fine club5 houses, held races and contests of strength and endurance. In the streets of the great American cities automobiles have become as common and useful as a horse and wagon, taking their places In the Inter minable procession of things that move on wheels. In the big "cities, also, scores of salesrooms-have been open ed, and In New York there are definite automobile districts where the build ings of a whole street for a block or more are occupied exclusively as the salesrooms, shops or storehouses, for the automobile. In these districts the throb of the powerful gasoline engines, as the vehicles which contain them stand quivering in the streets or shops, is constantly heard, making the very air vibrate. - .- COMING TO LIGHT. Speaking of. throwing light upon things, that's what the human body does. Such Is the rather startling an nouncement of Professor Goodspeed of the University of Pennsylvania. The professor says he has established tbe fact that rays emanate from the hif man body sufficient In their intensity to make photographs. Told more' or less simply, "these truths are Incident al to the discovery that all matter ab sorbs radio-active enerev in wvm of varying lengths and gives off this same energy In waves of a changed and definite length.' The energy that has been thus transformed is characteristic of the matter that gives it forth. The human body gives out the ray or waves of this energy with comparative free dom and f oree. ; ; ' . . ; me cnaracier or tne human rays vary with the person, and "-each man. woman and child gives forth not mere ly the characteristic human light but a light that is absolutely unique and Identifying.? , These rays from the hu man body are not appreciated by the human eye, "but U may be, says the professor. ,.that they are seen by the eyes of certain of the smaller animals tor Instance, a mouse, probably sees a man In a dark room by the light of the man himself There are other substances whose LradlaUon is far more active than that from men. Radium sends out ttbese waves with so great activity that It has been looked upon as a. primary source of radio activity. Professor Good speed's experiments suggest the theory that the light coming om radium Is the transformed activity of dark rays that have' undergone absorption. Dr. Coleman, president of Willamette University, has averaged over flOO a day since he 4ook up the burden. In collecting money and securing pledges for the payment of the debt of Willam ette University. In addition to thii he has secured some $13,000 for the - en dowment fund, -to be available when the debt Is wiped out. And he has conduoted the institution without in creasing the debt. There Is less than $1800 yet to raise, to wipe out the debt,' but it must be all pledged by the first day of June. The time Is short. YOU ARE. INTERESTED, If you are inter ested in Salem.

The cartoon has no terrors for Mr. Cleveland. He recently congratulated Mr. J. T. McCutcheon. of the Chlcuito Record -Herald, upon making the lst caricature of him' he had ever s-fn. "I have been immensely amused by it." he writes, 'adding; "Hoping that my behavior will always allow me to lx amused, or instructed by your pictorial work, I am, vours very sincerely, lro ver Cleveland. - Surgeorr General Rlxey, of he Unit ed States Navy who is with the I'reni dent's party, was very much concerns! at the beginning of the journey. lie was earful that the President might not stand the -trip. But he is now over Ills worry in that particular. Rut he Is anxious for some of the other members of the party, for fear they will not be able to hold out to the end. f We have a chance to secure the great educational institution of the Methodist church of the Northwest by putting up, less than $1800. Hut we must act quickly. The dime is short. It will be the best s investment ever made by our people. It will mean dol lars returned for every cent contrib uted. ' . p i j Robert 8. MoCormlc-k.

The Important thing, the one thing. before the people of Salem, for today and next week, is the wiping out of the last f 1800 of the debt of Willamette University, Can it be done? Will It be done?. Of course It can and will be None of us can afford to witness a fail ure, ' Is your name on the list with those who have pledged money for the pay ment of tbe $35,000 debt of Willamette University If not It is your duty to get It there, and early this week. t '
