Who In Mrs. Winsiow ?

AS this question is frequently asked
we Will simply say that she Is q lady
who for upwards OF 40 years has untir-
ingly devoted her time and talents as
a female physician and nurse, princi-
pally among children. Sac has espec.
tally studied the constitution and
wants OF this numerous class, and as
result of this effort ana practical
knoledgo. obtained in q lifetime spent
al u nurse and physician, she has com.
pounded Soothing syrup for chill

over, sure to regulate tho bowels. In
consequence of this article Mrs. Wins
low is becoming world-renowned
as benefactor of her race; children
certainly do riseup and beas her; es.
pecially is this the case In this city.
Vast quantities of tho Soothing Syrup
are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winslow has immortalized
her name by this invaluable article,
and we sincerely believe thousands OF
children have been saved from an
early grave by its timely use, and that
millions yot unborn will share its ben
ehts and unite In calling her blessed.
No mother has discharged her duty TO
her suffering little one, in our opinion,
until she has given IL the benefit OF

THE PRISON CONTRACT SYSTEM.

Like every other question that of
convict contract labor has two sides,
says the Portland E0ening Telegram.
1t is urged ON the one hand that it
helps the state to make it's prison sys-
tenn partially selfsupporting and to
that degree relieves the taxpayers
from the burden of the support of con-
victed criminals. On the other hand
it is urged, with show of plausibility,
that it cheapens labor to an extent that
is oppressive to honest men who de-
pend npon the fruits of their daily toll
for support for their families and the
maintenance of homes 1t is certainly
far more just to maintain prison ex-
penses from the general tax levy than
to oppress one particular class of labor
ers that convicts may be made in a
measure self-supporting during their
term of servitude. A few days ago
strike of moulders in connection with
the Willamette Iron works in this city
was announced. Inquiry develops the
fact that the base of the grievance of
low wages at which these workmen
complain is the poison contract system,
that in two years has reduced the
Moulder's Union in this city from a
membership of one hundred to twenty,
and wages from two and half and
three dollars per day into competition
with labor at forty cents per day.
Any man who maintains his family or
even himself alone, by the sweat of
his brow and the skill of his hands,
must see the glaring injustice of sys-
tenn that works such hardship upon
few under the pretext of lifting a
burden from the many. Furthermore,
there is not taxpayer in all Oregon
