Phone Main SI. JUST AS AN ILLUSTRATION The Washington republican convention held at North Yakima, completed its labors Saturday, selecting 14 un instructed delegates to the national convention. This delegation, while as stated uninstructed, is divided about equally one half being for Hughes and the other for Root or Burton with a few favoring Roosevelt in the "event of immediate danger of war." Thus one by one the states are polled and practically all of them express a preference for Hughes or some other than Roosevelt. It is perhaps, just as well for the Colonel that he "is not seeking the nomin ation." While it is evident his hopes have gone glimmer ing, it is also certain that while he may not secure the nomination, he will have much to say as to who shall have it. DOUGLAS COUNTY I a HAS ACTIVE CLUBS k W Boys and Girls of Schools Take Interest In Industrial Club Work While taxpayers are doing considerable talking about the increasing taxes, it can safely be stated that there will bo no reduction in the cost of running the state, counties or cities until the people make up their minds to do without things they now demand, or at least, permit. A dispatch Saturday from Pendleton says "William L. Finley, state biologist, will arrive next week to take pic tures of wild animals in eastern Oregon and Washington for the Oregon State fish and game commission. E. F. Avei ill, of the department of biological survey, who will cooperate with Mr. Finley in the work, has had his force of CO men locating dens of coyotes, porcunines, badgers and bears, to enable Mr. Finley to get first-hand pictures of these animals." As a matter of natural history, it is well enough to have these pictures available. It, like hundreds of other things, is right enough if the people want that kind of rhintr but it, costs something to have GO men hunting badger holes and getting the animals ready to have then pictures "took," and it also costs to have the pictures printed and, well after that it will cost something to dis tribute them, or do whatever the commission intends with them. It is not a great expense, a trifle in fact, but it illus trates the fact that public money is much more easily and pleasantly spent than provided for the spending. While on the subject it might be added that the ex pense of taking care of or "protecting" the game is un necessarily expensive. The law provides special officers for this purpose, when it could just as well be turned over to the peace officers of the county. There are all kinds of useless commissions who do nothing practical except draw their salaries, and make reports which no one reads but which cost money just the same. We have education in the saddle and riding heaven Itnnws whither. We have the "good roads" bug fully developed and feeding on public money with an insatiable appetite. These two features are the great taxeaters, by the side of which the others are trifling. The question is, do the people who pay the taxes want to get on without these things? If they do they can do so by their votes. If they do not there is no use finding fault with,the public officers who are expending the money, as the people desire. Taking the pictures of a few wild animals will not bankrupt the state, neither will hundreds of other trifles of a like character, but in the aggregate they make a snug sum. The latest proposal is to have a committee at the legis lature to examine all bills and point out to the legislators those it should pass and those it should kill. Now the memhers of that committee might be no wiserthan the legislators, and so another committee would bo required to advise and guide it, and this still another, and so on to the end of the chapter. It would be simpler to elect the committee to the legislature and do away with the extra expense of having two bodies. Founders day at Champoeg was appropriately cele brated, in spite of the fact that the weather was all that it should not have been for the occasion. It is a day that will become more and more honored as time passes, for Oregon will always hold in loyal mentory the recollection of the sturdy Americans, who on that day saved the Northwest of the United States, and it will at the sam time honor the memory of the two Canadians who threw their votes with the Americans and made Oregon a part of the union. Addison Bennett says Homer Davenport's grave is marked only by a small painted bit of board.' It is a dis grace to the state that this is so. However, it is a case of evervbodv's business being nobodys. What has become of the movement to erect a monument to the Silvertonj boy of whom all Oregon is justly proud? Where is the committee that had the matter in charge? Why not have it report and then get down to business and see that a proper monument is erected to the Oregon boy whose pencil made the world take notice? Every newspaper in the state will give the widest publicity to any effort along this line, why not then get at it and remove the stigma of neglect from our conscience? Senator Chamberlain who has a sort of notion that Oregon has but one senator and that that one's name is George, has had a rude awakening. Senator Lane, chair man of the senate Fisheries committee, has braced up and asserted himself. It seems that Chamberlain had the Columbia fisheries bill passed by the house, referred to the senate judiciary committee instead of the fisheries I committee, of which Lane is chairman. The latter is dis gruntled and says he will keep the lid on until the voters of Oregon have a chance to pass on the initiative bill deal ing with the subject. Lane says Chamberlain "put one over on him." William Haase, in a dispute over employment a few days ago, shot Charles 0. Swanberg. The latter at first thought mortally wounded is now out of danger and gen- erouslv refuses to prosecute his assailant. Since his ar rest Haase has been a living fountain of tears, weeping continuously and making Niobe's record for dampness, look like a spring shower along side of an Oregon winter rain. The English cabinet evidently did some quick thinking when it heard what Germany had done in the way of meeting the demands of the -United States, for in less than twenty-four hours the Germans taken from an American ship in the China seas were set at liberty. They beat Uncle Sam to it, and did voluntarily what they real ized they would be forced to do before long. Ten more days and then the primaries. While the republican candidates are doing considerable worrying and also hustling the .democrats are saying nothing and not sawing much wood either. Being in the minority has some compensations, one of which is to smile at the other fellow's troubles and at the same time be in condition to criticise whatever he does. Willamette University is having an unusually hard time celebrating May Day this year all on account of the weather. If possible the ceremonies will be carried out this afternoon, but if the weather clerk is still grouchy they will be postponed until he gets in better humor. It might bo a good thing to unite the May day celebration and State fair, and have both on the Fourth of July. It will not take many scrimmages like that between the eleventh Cavalry and the Mexican bandits Friday, in which 42 of the latter were killed with no casualties on the American side, to convince the peons that they are mistaken in their ideas that the "gringos" will not fight. The children's iiulii-.triul clun work in Douglas county is in excellent condi tion, ai conling to a report received by Superintendent of Public 'Instruction .T. A. Churchill, from Mr. I.. I'. Harring ton, one of the state Industrial field workers. Some of the clubs have been active since their organization a year or two ago. Tliis is due largely to tue efforts of County Superintendent O. C. Brown and his supervisors. With reference to this work in Doug las county. Mr. Harrington says: "1 find duns ami club work in excel lent condition in the schools visited so far. Some of ihese clubs have been ac tive since we organized them the first year. The work in the Roseburg schools deserves special mention. I found large, active clubs, members determined to stay in and finish their proje-ts. Mr. H. A. Bennett, princtpal of the Ben sou school, and Mrs. C. C. Brown, ad visors o'f one of the large clubs, are especially active in club work. While city Superintendent Hamlin ami all of his principals are g,.Bd supporters. I met 103 club members in the Benson school alone; sowing, baking, canning, and handicraft being the principal pro jects, with gardens nnu potatoes. At Riddle I found an active club with Misd Ella Welch as one of the advisors. Mr. Bronsou is a hearty supporter. Tliey will have u good school fair there. The club members sav 'Douglas eountv must win first prize at Salem tliis yea r. ' ',' At Days Creek, a two room country school, I found a club of about 20 mem bers; com, potatoes, poultry and the girls' projects being the ones selected. At Canyonville. a four room country school, the club officers took charge of the meeting ai which Supervisor Mur phy and I spoke. There is a good club in this school and almost everyone old enough belongs. This is one of the best country clubs. At district No. 135 I found but 1(1 pupils enrolled, all nnys. with a man, Mr. E. I.. Woods, as teach er. All the boys belong to the club; corn growing, poultry, potatoes and tiaiitficraft being tlieir projects. FAMILYJARES This Information May Be of Value to Many Mothers in Salem When there is added to the many cures inseparable from tiie rearing of children tint affliction of weakness of the kidneys and auxiliary organs, tiie mother's lot is fur from a happy one. This condition has often been corrected by the use of Doan's Kidney Bills. When relief conies the mother's burden will be lighter and her home happier. 'Mrs. S. E. Lewis, 1b"7 Commercial St., Silent, says: "I couldn't recom meud anything equal to Doan's Kidney Bills for children who are subject to Kidney trouble. Since giving them to my little girl, her kidneys ict more regularly and the trouble is gradually being overcome "nch day. I feel con fident that before long they will make a permanent cure." l'rice one, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Bills the same that Mrs. Lewis recommends.

Farthings long svM. am unit to foumtri, m ittst.'' Benjamin Franklin Philip D. Armour, the founder of the Armour Pack ing Industry, nude r s t o o i llmrotndilv the science of wasting nothing. There was a time, he said, when the parts of cattle were wasted and the health of the city injured by the refine. But later, by adopting the best known methods, it was found that nothing need he wasted and buttons, glue, fertilizer and other thing3 are now made from what was formerly waste material. This Is the very es sence of thrift, and should and could be practiced in every business office and every home. It makes the sav ing of money possible. Mr. Armour said he considered the turning point in his career the time (lie began to save the money he earned iin the gold fields. There will be a (turning point in the career of every 'one when he begins to save, though ,'it he but a nickel or a dime a day. .These seem small sums hardly worth aving; yet Sir George Foster in ft recent speech showed that if ev ery person in Canada wsu'.d save ten cents, a day, there would' be a total of $250,000,000 saved in a year. i Some peopte cannot save ten cents a day but almost every one can savj a little ' by doing that in personal spending which is done in any well conducted business putting a stop t to waste. All thin"-! are harder for the adult to learn than tor tne child, even economy. 1 lie parents, therctors should I each economy to the child. George Washington said, ' Economy makes happy homes a::d sound na tions. Instill it deep." Children should be taught to be economical in the matter ot what they eat. The will thus be taught to save their health. They should be taught tV economize in the matter of spending the uselessncss and pcridiahleness. of most of the things they would like to buy, the advantages of a savings, account and the feeling of security itl brings. Children thin taught make: good citizens frugal, clear-headed and steady. The members of the Congregation al Church in Fort Dodge, Iowa, were probably taught economy in their youth and were teaching it in turn to their children for when they de cided to build a new $;0.000 church they formed the nucleus of their fund by placing barrels on the street cor ners and requesting residents to de posit junk, rags, old iron, rubbers and bottles in thein. tine Sunday school class raised $J00 alone on the sale of old paper, a LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 1863 CAPITAL $300,000.00 Transact a General Banking: Business Safety Depasit Boxes 'savings DEPARTMENT l'aid advertisement.
