Avoid alum and alum phos
phate baking powders. The
label law requires that all
the ingredients be named
the labels. Look out
on
for the alum compounds.
NOTE. Safety lies in buying only
Royal Baking Powder, which is a
pure, cream of tartar baking powder,
and the best that can be made.

whon, as a poor boy, ho not his start
on tho llttlo chicken farm and ped
dlod eggs and poultry In shnbby farm

shoos with holes In them.
Hut for his' evil associations wlj.h
low persona llko Win. M. Ladd, Ed
gar P. Hill, J. Thorburn Itoss and
othor unreconstructed PresbytorlanB
Mills would not bo a bnd follow,
plutocrat and inuHlmllllonnlro that
ho Is represented to bo. Thoy koop
electing him prcaldont of corpora
tion, and so far no lndlctmonts nro
hanging ovor him. Ho Is not a can
dldato for the United States sonato,
although ho Is ot Ronutorliil dlmeh-
hIoiib, and theroforo deserves wntch-
Ing.
"Yoa," said Mllllonnlro Mills, "I
shall bo up to tho leglslaturo a tow
times this winter, Just to seo how tho
boys perform. It Is llko going back
to a school you onco attended. I in
tend to continue to llvo In Oregon,
If thoy will let mo. Thoro Is but qno
blot and obstacle to tho still mora
rapid development of tho stnto, and
I need not mention what that la."
I did not meet Win. M. Imdd. Ho
Is Hunt, In hiding, I prosume, at
proaent, auoklng to drlvo awny tho
cloud ot caro that hangs over the Ufa
ot all plutocrats, with such soft
drinks and tlddledowlnk dissipations
na aro pormlttud to a Presbytorlnu.
Chnrlea Ladd taken hla place In tho
bank, and thu awful magnitude of
being n member ot tho Ladd family
that resta Its vast fortunes In the
tottering foundations of a tin-cup
bank, does not visibly opprosa him.
Tho Lndds continue to prosper and
found Y. M. C. A and Y. W. C. As,
and other corporations moro or less
designed to help people with doodles
of tainted wealth to u semblance of
roapoctnblllty. M for Edgar P. Hill
ho hud to go. As tho spiritual ad
visors of tho little band of hunted
plutocrats, Portland was mado too
hot for him, and hla abashed fellows
only mention hla name with bated
breath and a "let-uo-forget" expres
sion on their faces.
Another ot tho hated class ot plu
tocrats who grinds tho faces oft tho
prolotarlt Is J. Thorburn Ross. His
Tltlo Guaranty Trust Co., at Second
and Washington streets, la employ
ing hundreds of people, and the un
fortunate poor aro rushing in by
hundreds to swell tho deposits, of his
savings department. Ross and his
family nro making a tour of Europe.
Ho seems to flourish in spite of an
ocean of newspaper opprobrium and
worse than all, Is of low origin start
ing life as a Job printer. While it
would bo hard to find any property
in his name, or that he oven has
where tc lay his head, ho has the
confidence of a greater number of
people than con some of us who
have hold of tho lever that molds
the minds of tho multitude. Ross
controls a sreat deal of advertising,
and it is distributed like tho rnln.
Tho closest search did not reveal
Joe Tenl, as ho has been all but. ob
literated from Portland society. As
soon as It was apparent that he was
in the multi-plutocrat class ho was
put on the black-list, and his name
is Dennis. Besides being a Demo
crat his control of treat wealth
marks him as a dangerous man. Teal
Is nleasant to meet. He seems to
bo intelligent, and, but for the hated
incubus of his millions, could get
along fairly well. As It is ho wears
tho same haunted look that attaches
to persecution and tho reputation of
belonging to the class that thirst for
tho life-blood of tho submerged toll
ers. How such men as Teal can ex
ist nnd hold up their heads and look
honest JournnllBts In tho face Is ono
of tho mysteries of a city debauched
by tho acquisitions of n heartless
hordo of plutocrats, who nro making
money hand ovor fist In advancing
real estate, and pushing Portland
trado to tho confines of Mexico, Alas
ka nnd Asln. I did not meet Theo
dore Wilcox, who Is East with Ladd,
but ho Is said to bo tho worst ex-
pansIonlBt In tho lot. I spent n few
minutes with H. L. Plttock, rated at
a million nnd a half, and F. W. Lead-
b'otter, who controls a million In his
own name. They havo a hand in
many money-making enterprises, and
aro recklessly scoklng for moro.
While not yet branded as plutocrats
of tho vicious typo, thoy nro liable to
fall victims of this acrimonious dis
tinction any dny. It Is not believed
that they aro positively dangorous to
socloty so long as Rooaevolt is Prcal
dont, becauso wo common people can
alwuys roly on Teddy putting a time
ly spoke In tho wheel of tho un
bridled aggressions and oncronch-
monts of tho hated rich, With
Roosovolt In tho White House, tho
commonwealth can novor fall prey
to tho far-reaching tentacles of men
llko Lendbottor and Plttock.
Whllo In tholr dangorous com
pany I met Tod Piper, who has boon
devoting unnecessary Bpaco to mo as
a candldato for collector of customs.
Ho Is not known as suffering from
tho bad smell attaching to tho mll
llonnlro clnss. but has at least twlco
boon misrepresented as bolonglng to
tho clrolo that Is so constantly bo
Ing mado moro offonslvo to tho
American pooplo. Whon ho loft Se
attle it was published on him that ho
had sold hla Interests In tho P. I. for
at lomt a million. Ho humbly nc-.
coptod a $20 a week Job on an Ore
uon newspaper. Rut soon tho furth
er blot waa cast on his roputatlon in
that fortunate investments in tho
Texas oil Holds had brought him
again Into the Invldloua class. Ot
course, ho Is not in himself a dangor
ous man, and so long as wo havo
Teddy In tho White House wo neod
not fear Teddy In tho Tall ToworJ
oven though possessed ot dangorous
accumulations ot tho tnlnted. I must
apologize for mentioning tho two
Toddles In' ono broath, but It ia al
ways so easy to descend from tho
sublime to tho ridiculous. Tho sec
ond Teddy was full ot his most
genial plcnsautrlos. Ho said ho hud
Just mot a man who threatened to
stop taking tho Oregonlnn becauso It
devoted much editorial apace to me.
"Why do you pay so much attention
to that follow HoforT Can't you seo
that's all ho'a after, to get you to
even mention hla name?"
Of rourso, anyone should bo su
premely happy to bo oven noticed
or quoted, and I tried to express my
1 i
gratification with a Roosoveltian grin
of appreciation that displayed my an
terior molars. I might havo told my
friend Piper that no ono had threat
ened to stop my paper for mention
ing or not mentioning him. Teddy i3
an aid to digestion, any way you take
him.
It would be Impossible In one day
or one newspaper article to mention
all tho Portland millionaires who are
held up in continuous lofty scorn by
the anti-plutocratic press. Some of
the millionaires havo on account of
ace. or some other specially redeem
ing quality, escaped excoriation.
Among these nro Jacob Karam, Sr.,
aged over 80, but who has never
dabbled in building electric lines,
gas works or promotion enterprises.
Captain J. C. Ainsworth, of the
United States Bank; Henry Wagner,
of tho Welnhardt properties; I. N.
Flelschner and Sanford HIrsch, are
millionaires who havo not yet been
flayed Individually, but their time
will come. Men of great wealth
must bo taught to fear tho power of
a wise and discriminative editorial
management. Another king of Pa
cific coast plutocrats on my visiting
list is II. W. Goodo, who, like Wil
cox, camo up from some lowly oc
cupation llko bank teller, and is now
president of tho General Electric,
Portland Street Railway, O. W. P.
Co. and the holding corporation or
ganlod by tho Clarkes, of Philadel
phia, and the Seligmans of New
York, all in tho same venal class of
exploiters. Goodo wa3 president of
the electric in 1892, and, considering
his lack of advantages, and for hav
ing his lost cast almost entirely with
the despised possessors of great
riches, and an unbroken ascent to
detested plutocracy, ho Is still pos
sessed of somo business traits. As
presldont of tho Lewis and Clark
fair ho went up against all the rag-
chowlng of tho state commission and
romalned in possesion of unimpaired
fncultios. Ills ambition tp glvo Sa
lom and Vancouver as good lighting
rates and street oar service as Port
land, puts him almost In the class of
public benefactors. But take the
whole aggregation of Portland mil
lionaires, and where Is thoro anoth
er city tho slzo of Portlnnd that has
so much to contend with In way of
concentrated wealth that keeps on
concentrating and piling up? There
should bo somo wny to stop It. It
cnniTiQ linu'nvnr. thnrr Is nn wnv to
keep tho millionaires from spreading
out and ncqulrlng moro property,
moro millions. Tho only power that
will srtvo tho community from their
ruinous domination Is nn absolutely
fearless and honest press.
