Phone Main SI. SUPREME COURT RESPONSIBLE FOR TANGLE ' A close examination of the decision of the supreme coure of the United States in the forfeiture of the Oregon and California land grant cases impels one to the belief that that august body went as far as it could to avoid AoouUrw nnvthinn- whatever. It unwound more red tape and uncanned less sound common sense than was ever done in any case ever before it. It practically decided nothing, and all it did do was to still further entangle the situation. It decided the lands were a gift in praesenti, and that the railroad company had a title in fee simple with strings on it. It decided that congress had given the company these lands as an aid in constructing its road and provided that it must sell the lands, at not more than $2.50 an acre and in quantities of not more than 1G0 acres to any individual. Then it unrolled its red tape and said that while the company was compelled to sell the lands under the terms stated, it did not have to sell them until it got ready, which means that if it never got ready it would not have to sell them at all. And after declaring the lands belonged to the railroad and could not be taken away from it, these same wise ones held that the whole matter should be handed back to congress and that that body could do what it pleased with the lands. If the lands belonged to the railroad in fee sim ple as the courts said they did, then congress with all its powers is not big enough or strong enough to take them from the company without condemning them and paying what they are worth. . In the light of that decision, if Brandeis is all his enemies claim he is, he might still be an improvement on the court. All he has been accused of is taking the op posite side of a case after having been employed on the other. In the land grant case the United States supreme court took both sides at once and decided in favor of both and of neither. If the railroads complied with the terms of the grant the lands are theirs. If they did not, by what reasoning can even so august a body as the United States supreme court confirm title in them? Yet this is what it does. It holds the gift was made absolutely but with conditions subsequent with which it says the company need not comply. Senator Cummins' principal objection to Brandeis as a justice of the supreme court is, that while he was em ployed to represent the shippers side of the rate case by the interstate commerce commission, he admitted that the railroads should have more revenue "thus strengthening the railroads, and weakening the shippers' case." Mr. Brandeis was not employed by the shippers, in that case but by the commission. He was the commission's attor ney not the shippers lawyer, and to certain questions asked him bv the commission he frankly replied as the truth compelled, gave his client, the advice it sought, and made truthful answer. What other answer could he make to the commission that employed him when asked a direct question? Or if the question was not asked directly would he have had him withhold from the com mission things he as its attorney believed it should know? ' The Oregonian discussing the naming of Rublee for the federal trade commission by President Wilson says among other things, "If Gallinger who fought Rublee be cause he is personally obnoxious was wrong, what about Chamberlain of Oregon who stood with Gallinger?" The answer is dead easy. Chamberlain was just as wrong in this case as was Gallinger, and in most other cases prob ably more so. Our George is not always right just because he is, or claims to be a democrat. The above statement is respectfully referred to the editor of the Oregon City Enterprise. Biologist Finley advocates the killing of all cats be cause some of them kill birds. Of course Finley is justi fiable in this because birds are his meal ticket. The same thing might be said for the cats. The supreme court just now is causing both the old parties no little worry. The republicans want to get a man off the bench and the democrats want to get one on. LINING UP IN BATTLE ARRAY The big republican pre-convention show, opens at Chicago today. Chairman Charles D. Hillis of the Na tional central committee arrived today from New York, his secretary beating him to the scene of their coming work by a day. John D. VV right, who has charge of the Root campaign also arrived today and at once got busy opening head quarters for his candidate, New York's fav orite son. Senator Week's managers are also on the way, and the Fairbanks boosters are already on the ground and arranging for the big battle. "It is going to be the most enthusiastic convention ever held in the history of the party," said John Eversham, secretary of the republican congressional committee, add ing, "when the whole matter has been talked over the delegates will just tear the roof off with enthusiasm." There is a consensus of opinion that there is to be open and bitter war between the Hughes and Roosevelt fac tions, each being, as one expressed it, "determined to eat each other up." It seems the vote in Oregon so overwhelmingly for I Hughes, has caused the efforts of the Roosevelt faction to tie concentrated against mm. iney recognize in Hughes the man most to be feared, and will concentrate their fire on his camp. They feel that with Hughes out of the way it will be easy running for the Colonel. This means their first attack will be for the purpose of get ting him out of the Colonel's way. It also means that the Hughes backers will know they have been in a fight and this before it is over. It is only twelve days until the spectacular battle be gins. And while it may soon be over, it looks at this time as though it might be the start of a political Verdun. Any way, from now until the selection is made, Chicago will be the center of the world so far at least as the politicians are concerned. State Treasurer Talks , To University Class LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 18G8 CAPITAL $500,000.00 Transact a General Banking Business Safety Depasit Boxes SAVINGS DEPARTMENT Dr. Waite yesterday testifying in his own behalf, told of his weaknesses and criminal instincts when a boy ad mitting that he cheated at school examinations and was a thief. The defense is undertaking to show by this that his craze for money was responsible for his poisoning Peck, in order to get his millions. Just how this can help Waite, it is difficult to see, for that is just what he is charged with doing. . The fact that he was an "ornery" boy is not sufficient to excuse him for being a criminal as a man. The California strawberry shippers could easily sell twice as many berries without using any more boxes by the simple expedient of turning the boxes over and filling the swindle of the lower two thirds of them instead of using the berries as a sort of frosting for the containers. The sealer of weights and measures has a fine large field open for the display of his energies and the prevention of some hundreds of thousands of cases of petty larceny by the dishonest Californians. The statement that Von Buelow, Germany's ablest statesman, is to be appointed ambassador to the United States indicates that Germany is quite willing to listen to peace proposals. It also indicates that in spite of the harsh criticisms of the German press, that in the supreme moment when the final settlement comes, Germany will turn to the United States and President Wilson as her best and most dependable friends. The Oregonian says: "A justice of the supreme court should never get on the bench by a strict party vote." If this is correct, by the rule of "e converso," no justice of the supreme court should ever get off the bench by a strict party vote. This leaves Brandeis and Hughes in the same boat. Portland is cheerful over the present weather realizing that it can't rain all the time even in Oregon, and that if it rains until it is tinte for the rose festival, it may pos sibly be clear for part of that week. About the most broadly humorous thing seen in print lately is the calling of Portland's alleged detectives, "sleuths." T. H.

TO AVOID (SICKNESS ipplinORhuniQ! i j . f I f lias r GLORY -OF WAR The war is aging; it has been raging for nearly two long years; and what's the showing? An endless flowing of human blood and tears. Oh, tell the story of martial glory to captains of marines ! Go forth and wander, m Europe yonder, and see what glory means' Go count the legions, in those red regions, of men whom war made blind, in blackness groping, and done with hoping for light they'll never find. Behold the shattered and torn and battered remains of once strong men, who looked for glory in meadows gory, and ne'er shall walk again. The war is sending its cripples wending back to their ruined farms ,to beg, to bor row, to mourn, in sorrow, their missine lees and arms. This is the glory of which the hoary old harpers like to cnant; out it s more cnarnung to stay home farm ing, and rear the cabbage plant. v V' W ? flv A Feople who aro over-burdened with superfluous fat, know only too well the discomfort and ridicult that over-stout people have to bear. If you are carrying iround five or ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are unnecessarily weakening your vital or gans and are carrying a burden which destroys the beauty oi your figure. There is no need of anyone suffering from superfluous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in a simple, se and reliable way, without starvation diet or tiresome exercise, here is a test worth trying. Spend as much time as you can in the open air, breathe deep ly and get from any good druggist a box of oil of korein capsules; take one after etch meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh vourself once a week so as to kuow just how fast you are losing weight and don t leave otf the treat ment or even skip a single does until you are down to normal. Oil or korein is absolutely harmless, is pleasant to take, and helps digestion. Even i few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeable reduction ia weight, footsteps become lighter, your work seem easier and a lighter and more buoyant feeling takes possession of your whole being. Kvery person who suffers from super fluous fat should give this treatment a trial, Monmouth News (Vuited Press staff correspondent) Monmouth, Or., Axy 20.

During the past two weeks the train ing school has adopted a new plan which is very pleasing to both stu dents and parents. Each d.iy the school serves some one or two warm articles of food to all of the students who bring their lunches. The food which consists of substancials such as soups, meats, hah. cocoa, etc.. is pre pared and erved bv two Normal school students, Miss Burns and Miss Hudson. About forty-two students enjoy this new feature and only charge of one cent a dav for each child is made which helps to cover the expense of the food.

MAUNA LOa ACTIVE I Sanitary science has of late mads j rapid strides with results that are of j untold blessing to humanity. The lat- est application of its untiring research is the recomniendition that it is a necessary to attend to internal sanita tion of the drainage system of the hu man body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed t feel dull and heavy when we arise, Isplittiug bfadaehe, stuffy from i cold. toul tongue, naatv breath, acid stom ach, can, instead feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of th system each morning and flushing out) tie whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each moruing befors) breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limeston phosphate in it to wash from the stom ach, liver and bowels the previouf day's indigestible waste, sour bilo an I poisonous toxins; thus cleansing and sweetening and purifying the entire al imentary canal before putting mors food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate oa an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out ill tho sour fermeutations, gases, waste aud acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large vol ume of water from the blood and get ting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are both ered with cnostipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blool dis orders and sickly complexions are urg ed to get a quarter pound of limeston phosphite from the drug store. Thi will cost very little,. but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank oa the subject of internal sanitation.
