Of hunting and woodcraft; of nothing afraid;
Bravoly battling, bearing his blade

For tho gloom and silence and hardships that tond
"To shorten ono's llfo, ma foil"

THE LAW TO l'HEVEN'T THE INITIATIVE.
Tho now net for employing tho Inltlntlvo nnd roforondum, supposed to
hnvo bcou drawn by Mr. U'llon, th0 nllogod father of direct legislation,
Is going to require somo explanation.
Tho stato grange which will bo U session next weok, had bettor tako
uonio notice of Bomo of tho provisions of this monsuro, AND APPOINT
A COMMITTEE TO MAKE THE ACT LESS PROHIBITIVE.
It might praporly bo doomed on act to limit tho use of tho Inltlatlvo
If not make It Impossible, or at loast limit It to such ubo as Mr. U'lton
might wish to make of It.
It Is barely ponulblo that by his syndlcato mothods, by a combination
of corpornto or plutocratic IntoroBtfl, MR. U'REN MIGHT BE AIILE TO
INITIATE A BILL UNDER THIS MKASURH, HUT SCAHCELY ANYONE
ELSE.
That may have boon tho object of tho bill, to mako It dllllcult to In
Itlato anything, nnd thus do awny with, ns far as possible tho danger
of tho pooplo holplng, thoniBOlvos In case tho legislature failed.
First there Is printed, or roqulrJd to bo printed ovor tho heading of
tho Inltlatlvo a warning, that to HlKn it wrongfully Ib a folony. AS THE
RIGHT TO INITIATE IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, such warnings uro
ridiculous.
Next all printing In connection with tho Inltlatlvo on any monsuro, nnd
tho cnmpalgu arguments for or ngrtinnt It must bo dono by tho stnto
printer at his sohodulo prices.
TIioho pnmphlotH must bo in eight.point Roman -fncod . typo, londod
nnd 25 m'H wldo, on slzod and Hupor-culondorcd pnpor llfty pounds to
tho roam, and shoots 25 by 38 Inchos.
It would bo hard to explain why tlioso cnmpnlgn nrgumonts should
bo printed on any hotter paper tha nn ordinary newspaper, or In nny
lurgor typo THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE, WHICH AHE SET UP
KOMI), NOT "LEADED."
If a conunlttoo could got thoKO campaign pamphlets sot up for 35 cents
pur thousand, why pay tho statu printer nn cents por thousand?
If the (lommlttoo could got thom prlntod for so much por thousand
POPIOfl WHY COMPEL!, THEM TO PAY THE STATE l'HIXTHll BY THE
TOKHNV
TIioho pamphlets, which must bo paid for by tho porsons who Inltlato
tho hill, at full Htato prlntor prtcoB, must thou bo sont out by tho secre
tary of state " to oaoh volor whoso address ho may havo."
Thorp Ih no provision by which tho secretary of stnto la required to
proouru tho nddrossoa of the votorB, nna THERE IS NO CEHTAINTY
UNDEIt THIS MEASl'UE THAT THE PAMPHLETS WOULD GO TO THE
VOTEIIS.
But thoro Is provision that thny would cost nn onnrmous nmount of
mouoy wUbii prlntod by thw atato J.-lntor.
It Ih easy to aoo that a rovonuo bill that might covor ton to 100 pngos,
might cost tho state ton to twenty thousand dollars to havo thom pointed
one for oaoh voter.
Then It might cost tho committor or porsons sending out nn argu
ment AS MUCH MOKE TO HAVE ITS PAMPHLETS PIUNTED.
It Is oluarly a bill to mlnlmtzo the use of tho Inltlatlvo, ns far as pos
sible, and conllno Its uso to tho rich nnd powerful.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR GOLD.
Exalted Ilnanclora, tho too-goud-for-nny-UBO citizens who havo const!
tutod thomsalvos tho guardians of tho purity nnd sacrodnoss of tho "unit
of value," In this country cnllod "dollar," aro not a little disturbed by
tho enormous and UNPRECEDENTED QUANTITY OF GOLD THE
WORLD IS NOW MINING.
They aro wondering If tho prosont custom of tho nations to pay $30
an ounco for all tho gold offered ut tholr mints, regardless of Its quan
tity, can bo malutalnod without creating an over-production of "primary
money," which would cause a completo roadJiiBtmont of tho valuo of all
other thing.
It Is feared by those who would koop tho vohimo of "redemption mon
oy" within what thoy consldor reasonable bounds that tho quantity of
gold may grow so largo THAT SOME OTHER "METALLIC STAND
AIM)" OF VALUE WILL HAVK lO BE Aliorf'Kli; nnd exalted finan
ciers think that earth without n metalllo monetary standard would be ns
undurslrnblo nnd unthinkable ns hoavon without pearly gntos, golden
streets, hnlos and harps.
Now to holp thoso follows out, when tho tlmo comos that thoy so
muoh fonr, an oxohango suggests platinum ns a substitute for gold.
It Is n very proolous metal, worth now $34 an ounco, and not llkoly
to bo plentiful enough In a thousand years to disturb exalted flunnclors
in nny laud.
Tula auggostlon la nolthor pntonted nor copyrighted, and Is glveu away
without thought or hopo of reward.
It U phllnnthroplcally Intended to mltigato tho horrors of tho nlght
maro that occasionally vlslta tho couchos of tho solf-appolnted protectors
of tho virtue of tho world's motalllo "measure of all values."
o
CAUSES OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS,
Tho tariff removes the stimulant of competition with rail maker,, In
other countries, RESULTING IN POORER QUALITY AS A ELL AS
HIGHER PRICES; and tho poor quality of rails Is responsible, for many
of tho railway accidents.
This Is tho thedry, In brief, and It Is not an unreasonable one.
But In tho production of poor rails Tins taiup- a w-wm-
nuri'ATimV AUK rXl.IATrTIVKKN. "W
IIIIIK'OIIU .. ww -.-----. ,
mi, nwnnnn nf nnmnotitinn results In Indifference to quality of pro
ducts; but tho necessity of paying dividends on a vast sum of . puroly
mythical capital compels low cost and consequently Inferior products.
It seems to bo well established that Inferior rails havo been tho cauJO
of many nccidents, and tho most reaBonablo way to securo standard qual
ity 1b to make our manufacturers compete with Uiobo of other countries,
for SUCH COMPETITION WILL AT ONCE IMPROVE THE QUALITY
OF DOMESTIC RAILS and make It impossible to pay dividends on
mythical capital, which means that It miiBt disappear.
ADVICE
FROM
HENEY
Says Conviction of Prominent Men
Alone Will Stop Land Frauds
Francis J. Honoy, land fraud pros
ecutor, who is now In San Francisco
prosecuting tho municipal grafters,
writes to tho Portland Orogonlan on
tho remedy for land frauds In tho
northwest. Mr. Honoy Bays:
I havo very strong convictions In
regard to tho most bonoflclal mothod
of handling prosecutions which In
volve tho violation of trust by public
ofllcors und crlmlnul transactions by
men of high social or political posi
tion, or great wealth.
It scorns to ino that tho greatest
good to tho pooplo comes from the
completo oxposuro of tho rolutlons
botween powerful business Interests
and tho municipal, stato and federal
political grafters. Tho pcoplo havo
boon in tho hnbll of looking upon u
political graftor ns merely an Indi
vidunl crook, Instond of tho repre
Bontntlvo of business interests who
forced him upon a confiding public
for tho purposo of having him carry
nut tholr purposo without caring
whothor ho individually grafts upon
tho public or not, and usually know
ing that ho will do so, nnd hns boon
doing so.
No pormnnont roformntlonjvlll bo
accomplished by putting a fow polit
ical grnftors in jail, nlthought It will
doubtless havo a vory wholosomo do
lorront offect on othors, and particu
larly so it tho grafters .sent to jail
aro mon of provlously high stand
ing, socially, politically or financial
ly. Tho pcoplo must lonrn to look bo
hind tho scones to discover tho causo
of political graft, If thoy would bo
curo pormanont results. Lnrgo busi
ness Intorosts nro always behind bad
municipal government, and llkowlso
bohlnd bad statos and national gov
ernment. Large business intorosts brought
about tho paBsago by congress of tho
llou Innd act of 1897, and tho stato
of Orogon theroby lost to Its citizens
millions of acres of tho most magnif
icent tlmbor land In tho world, and
tho prior policy of tho national gov
ernment In relation to thoso lands
wnB uttorly dofented.
Instond of tho lands bolng retain
ed by tho national govornmont bo
thnt thoy would gradually bo ac
quired by Individuals in small tracts,
thoy became undor tho llou land not
tho spoil of rich predatory corpora
tions which acquired thom in such
Immcnso tracts that tholr ownership
will tdwnyB bo n mennco to tho busi
ness lutorosts of tho citizens of Ore
gon. Tho amount of land acquired from
tho national government In Orogon
through fraudulent mothods, such ns
thoso adoptod by S. A. D, Pntor aud
others, Is Insignificant whon com
pared with this legislative robbery of
tho pcoplo for which your roprosont
It la charged that tho many appalling railway accidents of late years
In this country are due primarily to the tarlK protwtloa enjoyed by the
taakors of steel rails here.

Sleep
And Rest
Every movement of the
body consumes energy. So
does mental effort. En
ergy is supplied by the
nerves. It follows that
physical or mental exhaus
tion simply means an
over-draft on the nerves.
Nature restores energy
through rest and sleep.
iYou cannot sleep with
tired nerves. Dr. Miles'
Nervine soothes the irri
tation and restores nerv
ous energy.
"Although I havo. lived nearly 7n
years. 1 havo stood up njftilnst testi
monials for publication. Gut tho un

Injurious opiates found In most medi
