Phono Main 8). SENATOR BORAH AND HIS CALOMEL Senator Borah thinks the country needs to prepare for neace rather than war. He sees, or thinks he does, aj great flood of goods of foreign manufacture pouring into this country. He points out that before the war there were three million idle men in this country, most of whom are now at work, and that so soon as the war is over these men will again be idle on account of the foreigner send ing his goods here. Of course the senator prescribes the old and only remedy, a high tariff, which like calomel to the old time country doctor was the remedy for every thing from ingrowing nails to toothache. Everyone knows that whether a tax comes in the dis guise of tariff or in any other shape, the consumer of the taxed goods ultimately pays it. So the higher the tariff the more costly the goods, and the higher the cost of liv ing, if foreign goods are bought at all. A report issued but a few days ago on labor conditions in the East shows how the tariff benefits American labor. It asserted that of the 21,000 men employed at the Carne gie steel works 18,000 were foreigners and most of them unable to read or write, the very poorest and most un desirable sort of immigrants. These men so the report states were used to working fourteen to sixteen hours a day for fifty cents, and here they worked eight hours getting $2.00, to them fabulous wages. In Senator Borah's remedy for the working man's troubles is there any brand of calonfel that will cut out this competition of the pauper labor of Europe with the labor of this country? The only difference between competing with this class of labor in its native country and here, is that with a high tariff the consumer of the products of foreign labor performed at home and the same labor in this country, is that in the first case the consumer pays the tariff to the government, and in the latter he pays practically the same tariff to Mr. Carnegie, or who ever else employs this pauper labor in this country. Again; but a lew days ago a bevy ot bankers came over from Europe to arrange for a billion dollar loan, and did arrange for a loan of half that amount. They stated at the time they had plenty of gold, and could easily pay for what they got, but this country did not want the gold. It was surfeited with an over dose of yellow metal on its financial stomach. It was frankly stated that owing to the war those countries could not pay for our products by shipping their products to us, and this loan, or credit, was asked to maintain trade balances. How then are we to sell our products to the world unless we in turn use the world's products? Another point Senator Borah overlooks in pointing out the three million idle men in this country before the war, is that there are now in warring Europe five million permanently idle and who will never compete again with anyone. Their labors arc over. There is another five million sadly handicapped for work of any kind, and from the present outlook wjton this war is over, there will be from fifteen to twenty million of the strong men, the ' flower of Europe, no longer able to produce anything. 1 Besides there is a wrecked continent to go on the dry dock for repairs almost equal to the first building of it. When the war is over it will be some years before those unfortunate countries have recovered sufficiently to more than supply their own wants. Competition from Europe, such as we have had, is in the remote future, placed there by things other than the tariff. ! The rather startling news comes over the wire that Beulah Boynter's "Unborn" is to be produced on the New! York stage. This looks to us poor benighted folks out in' the far west, as carrying realism beyond its legitimate' boundaries. Outside of any "preparedness for war" or anything else, military training in the schools is a good thing. It teaches obedience to law, and is of inestimable value in the physical "setting up" it gives the boy. A little knowledge of military drill is not going to hurt anyone, and besides the physical training it goes far toward correcting the tendency, apparently indigenous in boys, to neglect their personal appearance. Somehow a boy takes more pnde in taking care of a uniform than he does of common clothes and this tendency can be cultivated even to the extent of making them take an interest in civilian garments. It now appepars that young Penfield Peabody and his best girl, who eloped a few days ago from Seattle, were married by a justice of the peace named Hoss, which still further emphasises the fact that the boy got the first Hoss on his dad. The old man it is claimed intends to have the wredding set aside, or try to. This might do so far as the boy was concerned, but how about the girl. They are married and the old man had better do the "God bless you my children" stunt, for he is old enough to know that one cannot unring a bell. SALTS IF KIDNEYS If the fighting in Europe is anywhere near as fierce as the lying done about it, it is certainly the worst in his tory. Each side daily reports licking the other fellows and sometimes both of them are deliberately lying about it. The Atlantic cables and the wireless stations will have to be disinfected when the war is over, before they can be depended on to convey the truth about anything. Portland fighting against western Oregon points other than Portland getting reduced rates on lumber is not cal culated to make the leaves on the olive branch extended by her to the valley towns turn any brighter shade of green. Astoria is also objecting to Portland's course in trying to shut her off from the terminal rates her posi tion naturally gives her. Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids Splendid for System RipplingRlujmos San Francisco, Oct. 27. "China is commercially dead. It's as dead as the wood on this deck." The little, old man shook his hand sadly, and looked back across the ocean. "But I'm going back. 1 could never stand the hustle and bustle of Ameri ca again," he' continued. For G. N. Woo l, aged SO, is seeing his native land for the second time in 50 years. 1'or 2(i years he has .been engineer for the Pacific Hail eotnprny at .

I see some lads who work for hire their leaden tnlbys dragging; the smallest effort makes them tire, and all they know is lagging. They face their work with dismal croaks, and grumblings stale and wheezy; they'll never bask beneath the Kidneys and Bladder weakness result -from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys "filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the .water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks cnll it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is reully one of the most simple ailments to over come. Get about four ounces of Jad Suits from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast, continue this for "two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which thun act normal ly nguin. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithin, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad JSalts is splen did for kidneys and causes no bad ef fects whatever. Here you have -a pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. cTKe"Wondcr C I 1 t -4 1 - t China Is Dead Says Old Engineer bramble. road is long to Easy street, too rough for any telling, and one must tireless be and fleet who there would have his dwelling.

SUCCESS OF A NEW REMEDY FOR BACKACHE, RHEUM ATISM, KIDNEYS Folks in Salem and adjoining coun ties are delighted with the results thev have obtained by using "AN-l'lUC," the newest discovery of nr.

So declared Mat Hurgeowgkv, Russian ' refugee who arrived with 50 other i refugees on the steamer Mongolia to day. Among the 50 are five men who es caped from the war none after tho suc- cess of the first German drive against' the czar's forces. K.
