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.

THE LONG ROAD
That roads are long to Easy street, is true all win
ners preach it; and if -you move on sluggish feet, it's
doubtful if you'll reach it. 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.

SUCCESS OF A NEW REMEDY
FOR BACKACHE, RHEUM

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. Pierce, who
bold and breezy, they vaulted over fence and stile, and
reached the street called Easy. The slueeard who is so head of the invalids'' Hotel' ami
afraid that he too hard will labor, will loaf and languish
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before tho
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night) are
appreciating the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
Doctor L'icrce's Au-urlc. Tablets. To
prove that this is a certain uric acid

never rest beneath the elms that line the street -called

Says Russia Is nO
Verge of Revolution
San Francisco, Oct. 27. Russia is on
the verge of the greatest civil rcvoln-'
tion in its history! !
It is only a matter of months before
the peasants and people who are sup-'
plying the fighting men for the Hug-i
sinn army will declare against her.
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. Oeorgeoff, one of the party, trill
of terrible hardships experienced u
their break for liberty. They traveled
by night through little Ktissia nniJ

to travel by out of the way wutei t
