Tliosn who lovo to spring newspaper eonteiitious aro saying because Clionm " wn precinct went dry tho stato fair will loe its license. There is excitement nnd agitation over tho voto of that precinct changing a stato law and nvei throwing tho con stitution and cutting olf tho royal priv ilege of tho commonwealth to sell booe. .lust as If tho precinct or tho conn, t.v hail jurisdiction ovor the sovereign state" of Oregon I Tho right of C'hoimiu'tt preniiict to shut out niiIooiih is undeniable, under tho local option law, and was n wise act on tlio part of the people, Thoro should be lib saloon located in tlio s.iiiio precinct with a government school for tlio educiitioii of the Indians. But Hie theory that the vote of the people of Chemawa precinct Is In any huiiko a law unto tho groat stiito of Or egon, or that thoy have a right to inter foro with its prerogatives or royal rev enues Is rot. o THE GREAT NEED. An Kuglish navjil outlet who, on hi training ship, took 1 1 first prizes, anil - in tlio first examination obtained D7 and (1.10 per cent., was rejected at tho oMimimitiou on account of a smnll defect in one littlo too. y And during tho progress of tho Boer war, when the cream of I'niimhi's man hood was olVoriug itself for aotlvo or vlut) in South Africa, one splendid fel low was i ejected because of a dofout in one tooth. In his anger ho ex ohttmed: "I didn't know ou wanted us to out the Booth ns well us kill them," ami hi wit gaintd tho day, for lio went gunning in spite of his de cayed tlRltll, 'In tlio cum l nsidi-r both these in ntHiii'i'H hiii-ui I m.i.I, li' r tliev ionium HM HHnMHWMnMaHMaMIHHMaaMMHMMBHilMBBMHMBMHHBMMMaHaMHaaiBMHMaMMWH B9; ff S IT UaYi liii)n ii AIL S rwp.B S rj -ntixj MI a via HHI1 ll iiW JaFhz-s' rw- I i , XSkCttauM.''.r m mmwmwmmmmsmmmmaaamma ii Cecil Rhodes, with his broad mind, inslstod npaa tho truth in his ohome for distributing ceholnrshipg.

Business men arc not looking special ly for Concentrated ossenco of brain, but for plain "commonsense," that most uncommon nttributc of tho hu mnn family: managers of prize "rings may bo hunting for miclo, but oven tho finest dcvoloped prize fighters in a fow yenrs, come to bo just plain saloon keepors.

Portland seems to bo tho homo it presont of a multiplicity of financial schemes to rob tho people. Thoro nro iiisiirauco schemes, saving schomos, financing schemes to lend you money without intorest.

Those who will entrust their earthly belongings to tho hands of strnngers, even if alleged financiers, deserve littlo sympathy. SENSELESS SPEED. At a cost of two men killed, two wounded nnd the rights of liiO.OOO pen plo shamelessly outraged, a Paris man ufacturer of doath-onginos has demon strated that an automobile can be run 152 miles nn hour ovor ro'ids never in tended for that puiposc. To that end the Long Island race wi". pronounced n success. In every other respect It was only nn exhibi tion of degenerate recklessness thnt ought to bo made criminal. The course was (oveiod only by the most desperate driving, with fatal nnd destructive results. If this is to lie the future of the automobile, it would bo well to mako the future brief. There aro no highways suitable for such speed. None eaa bo constructed upon which such speed will be safe. The uittoiuohtlt) is not n necessity. It it destined to become such, but only under conditions of sanity and safety. I'lie effect of Hpeed-mudnesi must be to inerenso popular antagonism to the nutoiunhilo as a dangerous intruder iipou roads built for common use. Tho yuoht rnco develops new princi ples in all shipbuilding. Tho horse nice develops the higher breeding of all horses. Hut tho automobile raco introduces no new principle in mechan ics and leads to nothing but u reukloss disregard of public rights on all high ways. Tho young donor of the Vanderbilt cup pronounces the race a " success, " lu definition of the word he seya: "It lms shown most convincingly what motor car is capable of of mak ing tlio fastest time oxer 300 miles mid has illustrated the use of the au tomobile. If anviiue is considering -' Jt course consumption can be cured. Modern medicine teaches it. No one longer doubts it. Babies have it. Young mothers have it. The aged have it. None are exempt. For over 50 years doctors have prescribed Ayer's Cherry Pectoral for this disease. It quiets the cough, controls the inflammation. If inter ested, talk this over with your doctor.

If tho killing of two people, tho - injuring of two othors nnd the out- raging of the rights of tho public has "illustrated tho uso of tho automo bile," in tho mind of tho chief auto niobilist of this oonutry, it is high time that his misunderstanding be corrected If Dcoulo nro to bo aided by this raco in tho selection of their automo biles, it is necessary that tho public either vacato tho highwajs entirely or provldo stringent means of protection. Tho motor vehicles which are to como to stay and do our work and sorvo our pleasure aro not theso tremendous ma chines, but another class altogether. It is to bo hoped that this la tho last motor raco to bo held in this country. If tho useless speed of rivnl mnchines must bo tc)tcdsor tho dnre-devll reck lessness of chnireurs, it should bo on private tracks. Such speed has no place on the highways, either for races or any other purposes. o A PROSE SONa OF HEALTH. Is tho world growing better! Yes, slowly, says nn exchange. Thnt there is plenty of ovll in the xvorld none will deny. It is exploited for all it is worth n."i "news." And yet every day somo evil dies. And every day thoro is added to the world's stock of goodne's other goodness. Hroadly speaking Thoro aro moro kind deeds and more helping hands thin ever befoie. And thoro is wider opportunities for good. This earth becomes every day n do- center placo to livo in. As never be foro man is subduing tho earth. Whoro onco stretched tho desert now blooms the rose. Tho Open Door is moro than a trado opportunity. Humanity every xvhero is getting a chnuce. Wnrsf Yes, but beside the caison is tho nin bulnnce of tho lied Cross. And the world over the best and the wisest nro holding up imploring hands for arbi tration and for pence. Tor the first time in history war is being reckoned os ii crime. Outrages? Yes, plenty of them. Lipless labor has its oppressor. Tlio white breast of womanhood still -boars tho scars of con- turios. li.icchus still rules his helpless victims. And across tho sen helpless Armenia agonizes and her children per ish on tlio wintry mountains and the nations nro silont. Yes, yes, these nnd n thousand others. Hut xvisdom xvill cover the earth as tho xx-ators cover the sea. And tho wound ed will find their good Samarltnns. Sympathy is no longer cramped to re lieve. And fear departs ns faith comes n. And hnsto grows xveaker as love grows stronger. Tho xvorld is growing better. Slowly, X-RAYS More brito and fare.

Wants Open Saloons. Ed. Jeurnal: Now that tho battle is ox'er, lot mo suggost Something to both the conquerors nnd tho x-an-quished. But first tho Prohi folks must not think that all xvho voted against them yesterday nro in fnx"or of tho salooon. One of tho theological cannons turned loose nt the Methodist bnrbequo last Sunday night said thnt tho result xvould be celebrated either by the church nnd tho prayer meeting, or tho saloon nnd tho brothel. Thcro is somo objection to this also, sinco out of tho 800 majority thoro certainly must bo several hundred xvho belong to somo of our churches. And wo xx-ould be sloxv to accuse them of joining in witli tho saloon nnd dixo elements and helping celebrate, under most occas ion). A number of church members xvero very conspicuous last night with their tin horn nnd rooster in their lint. Tho statement that xve are against tho church beenuso xve voted against pro hibition as presented to the voters yes terday, is a serious mistake. -To di-1 vide tho ground betxveen prayer meet-' ingjp nnd brothels does not do many of our citizens justice. To fire tho lie- f publicans out of nn otlico they havo barely got into, for tho results of four, years' Citizens ndministiation, is hard ly fair cither, although this x-ns threat ened, too. , Noxv that tho issue hna been met, let us open up another. Let tho min ister) nnd church members (not through Cnptain lluhoney this time) get to gether nnd frame n city ordinance, tho purport nnd intent of xvhieh is this: Kecbgnizo tho majority in favor of tlio saloon, tho licensing of tho sumo, nnd tho selling of liquors, xvo demand ns n reasonable restriction upon tlio traffic that nil saloons bo compelled by city ordinance to take iloxvu and romovo all blinds, painted xvindows, .creens, nnd doora for the purpose of bciuouiug trade, und that tho business shall bo conducted like nny other store, with open fronts, so that any one passing tlio saloon can look iu and sco xvho is in there, nnd xvhat thoy nro doing. Hnvo nil boxes removed. I In Ashland, xvhero tho Drcxv cam paign forco got much of its material for its lost cuiise, this laxv xx-as made, but tho saloonkeepers .xx-ont into tho grocery business and placed n parti tion across the middle of tho room, mil had canned oysters in the front ami a bar behind the partition, mid out of sight of passorsby. We must nip this scheme to dodgo the laxv by de-, daring that this shall not bo dono. i The moment you tnko doxvu those screens, nine-tenths of tho deviltry at tributed to the saloons wilt bo stopped. The blind gives fools tho opportunity to bo themselves, and tho sane and moderate patronos aro branded because caught in the company. Nobody is going into a placo xvhero he is easily. seen by'peoplo on tho sidewalk through big xvindoxvs nud net like n ulphcrizcd , idiot, waiting for someone to touch tho. match. Many of tho so-called cases. of drunkenness nro either shnni or cases xvhero tho imbiber has so little brain that it only tukos n "smell" to mako him drunk. It is common knowl edge, with practical folks, that many follows represent thomselvos to bo drunk for x-nrious reasons. A good sxvift land on their solar ploxis or n big boot whleh xvill tio thoir backbone into n double knot betxveen tholr shouldors, ' xvill, in many casos, produco a vory so- her man. It is tho protecting shado xvhieh suggests to tho xvonk-miuded the opportunity of boing foolldi, without being seen. , I If you alloxv tho grocory to sell whisky in tho back room, this laxv ou forcing the removal of screens xvill be useless, but if you xvill compel obedi-j euce to this laxv it xvill do moro for our young, dear, innocent boys xvho nro on the road to hellitydam, than n vic tory for the Prohis yeeterdny. Bust-' neas xvill drop off with tho snloons the uiluute they have to keep an opon house. Since the good people iu Sa-' lem cu't have prohibition strniaht,, why not get together ami put into ef fect au ordinance xvhieh xxlll sxveep away everything but the lieouee. With-1 out the Uuaiaeee the license must stop. Here is a remedy. Let us see noxv how , badly the gaod oaee want it. W1SB PAKENT. , Spoke In Toledo.. Toledo Reperter: CoL Ji."
