A GOOD MINISTER ACCUSED.
One Rev. J. J. Wheeler comes all the way from Alaska to Sa
lem to prefer charges against one Rev. John Parsons.
He has no personal feeling against Parsons, but it took him
nearly a year to gather testimony against him.
One charge is that Parsons allowed a Florodora dance' saloon
on the same block with his church at Fairbanks, Alaska.
On top of that Parsons is accused of misappropriating funds,
and loaning money at usurious rates of interest.
Some of the Wheeler evidence against Parsons goes back as
far as 1S99.
When pastor at Salem Parsons was considered a pretty decent
sort of citizen.
The trial of Dr. Parsons will be one of the sensational events
cf the conference at Salem this week.
SCIENCE FOR THE TAXPAYERS.
Among expensive luxuries carried on by the state is one Dr.
Calvin S. White.
His series of experiments to prove why dogs die of eating
Balmon are now complete.
The results are published in a pamphlet, but the dogs die
just the same.
At least ten dogs have lost their lives every year from eat
ing salmon in Oregon.
Now Dr. White will investigate why children eat chalk, and
whether chalk is really a desirable breakfast food.
The pamphlet to be published on that interesting problem
will be of great importance.
Dr. Woods Hutchison was the first to do these scientific liter
ary stunts on a salary."
He is now doing them for a hundred dollars a page for the
Saturday Evening Post.
The taxpayers would feel relieved if Dr. White would go to
work for some magazine.
lie will next get out a state book on why blackheads come in
pome people's noses.
Great is the state when it comes to finding excuses to spend
money.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Yes, for some time there will be more applicants than jobs.
We have tried in every way t keep from being mistaken for
one 0. P. Ho(T. The editor of thU paper has been accused of a
great many things, but he has never been guilty of being 0. P.
HofT.
Democcratic papers are trying t make capital of Taft coming
to Salem on October 13. That may be an unlucky day for the
Democratic party.
Sara Brown-Savage, for ten years dean of the school of ora
tory of Willamette University, has opened a "school of expres
sion" in this city, and will teach dramatic art. If there is any
thing we are weak on it is expressing ourselves. The average
girl has been reduced to a cross between chewing a wad of gum
and a titter, so far as expression goes. The young fellows
smoke cigarettes, play pool and have a limited vocabulary of
profanity. That is the limit.
Rev. Clarence True Wilson lectured on prohibition yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. He is national secretary of the Methodist
Temperance society, and, besides being a brilliant debater, is a
man of preat natural eloquence and a good fellow. He is not a
narrow-minded howling fanatic, and concedes that once in
awhile a man who smokes or drinks is not altogether depraved.
We are asked to boos: an autobiography of La Follette. The
book agents will soon be swarming over the country selling
them at three to five dollars per volume. Recently the country
was canvassed for La Folletles magazine. Next we were bom
barded with a ten-volume industrial history at three to five dol
lars per volume. Will we never get through digging up our
hard-earned dough for these thrifty statesmen, who sell books
about themselves for a livirg7 To the credit of Jonathan
Bourne he has so far not been guilty of selling us any of his pub
lications. He even pays his own postage.
The Portland, as well as some other papers not far from Eu
gene, are bothered over Colonel Hofer, blaming him for most
everything happening in the state of Oregon. The reason is ob
vious no one does anything worthy of note any nearer Port
land, and it is highly gratifying to them, as well as the rest of
us, that there is at least one man in the "state who is able to do
things and is able to bear the blame. Independence Enterprise.
Any editor is a dangerous man who does not swallow s.ll the
impositions that are foisted upon the people by the alleged
high-brows of society.

Welcome Words to Women
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
advice ol a physician of over 40 years' experience
a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
ol women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pieree'a treatment will cure you right in the privacy of
your own home. His " Favorite Prescription" bat cured
hundreds of thousands, soma of them the worst of cases.
It Is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dire to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear examina
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't trifle
with your health. Write to World'a Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y., take the advice received and be well.
