The November "Christian En-
deavor" reaches us too late for this
campaign but it contains IA strong
plea on its ''Christian Citizenship"

ventists.
There is no doubt but that while
the voters of our country were
strongly opposed to the gold standard,
millions of them were appealed to as
members of the churches to uphold
the gold standard, as nearly all the
religious papers were on that side.
The church newspapers were no
doubt honest in advocating the gold
standard, but if it does not prove
helpful to the producing and Iaboring
classes, the churches will suffer as they
are supported by the latter in the
body of the country and very largely
in the cities.
The suppression of the Seventh
Day Adventists is another matter.
To what extent they are enemies of
society and destructive to government
does not yet appear fully. We do not
believe that zeal for the gold standard
can be 50 easily transferred to the
task of religious persecution.

BUILD UP OREGON

The people have had quite enough
of politics. 1t is now our duty to go
forward and build up the moral, polit-
ic.l and material interests OF the
state. Let us unite for the days of pros
psrity that arc promised and we be-
lieve in measure certain to be re-
allied.
Salem as a city has not fallen be-
hind ln the past few years, when so
many towns have. Our city has kept
we'll up in the front rank OF the pro
cession Of towns of its size and even
made some progress. We have lost
some population, perhaps, but we have
lost no great material interest, except
bank and an Insurance Company.
Our Woolen Mills are again run
ming, the Flourlng Mills are prosper
Gus. the SawmiIls will now run stead
lily. the song Of the hammer and saw
will soon be heard in the land and the
banks must let out their money, If
both sides in this political campaign
have not been liars.
Salem should urge her business
men to press forward for three things
that we believe are in sight, viz: the
flax industry, Il creamery and sugar
beet industry. These things are in
reach, with wise cooperation, and will
and can no doubt be undertaken.

OUR NEIoHBoR STATE.

In Washington the silver forces
have won decided victory. The peo-
pie of that state are uOt bit less in
telligent than those of Oregon nor
more inclined to anarchistic senti-
ments,and in the race of progress that
state will quite hold its own with Ore
gon. Yet in Washington with -four
larger clties'and six large newspapers
silver wins. In Washington Senator
Squire, Republican, united himself
with the silver forces, while in Oregon
Senator Mitchell, silver senator,
went gold and no doubt Senator Mitch
ell will get his reward. We congrat-
ulate the silver leaders Of Washington
on their victory and the Spokesman
Review on its fight.

sRYAN's BATTLE.


1t was grand fight by grand
man. He is as distinctly new type
as was Lincoln in 1860. He made a
square fight on principle. He cringed
to no elements of wealth or power. He
solicited no gold votes. He had ar
rayed against him all the ultra-con-
servative forces of society
In every large city Il monster pa
rade was held Saturday night before
election, representing all the business,
the capital, the corporations, and the
oficialism of the nation. On Sunday
the pulpit was arrayed against Bryan
and his cause as never before in Amer
lean politics. The victory, If vic
tory, is dearly bought.
While Bryan had to contend with
hostile forces OF money and morality
for revenue, he had to suffer inr0ads
on his own forces from the differences
among them on the tariff question az
we'll as the money question Tho
ablest Democrats in the nation have
been accustomed to waging cam
paign on the tariff issue. Many able
men believed that the tariff issue
sholld have been pressed. Others be-
lleved not. Bryan's opponents pressed
the tariff issue or the money issue as
it suited them. Bryan was handi-
capped by the money question which
was not fully understood.

REPEATING IN OREGON.

There is little doubt but that syste-
matte repeating was conducted in the
Oregon election. No state has such
loose election laws as Oregon. They
are disgrace TO the state, from the
rotten primaries of Portland to the
running in OF floaters and non-resi-
dents in every county precinct on cleo
tion day.
Oregon is one state in the nation
where a man can vote in any precinct
he pleases. In no other state can a
voter vote outside the precinct where
he lives. In Oregon there is no regis
tration or restriction upon the veter
whatever.
The greatest need of Oregon is a
primary law that will not be open to
the imputation that the only protec-
tion 1t affords is to the boss, and an
election law that fosters dishonesty
and corruption at the polls.

BRYAN's BRAVE FIGHT.

Whether Mr.. Bryan is elected presi-
dent or not, or whether he ever comes
before the public again in a public
capacity, he has rendered the nation
greater service than any other man
during the past quarter OF a century.
If defeated he will be greater man
than the president, and his cause will
continue to be great in the hearts of
the people. He has unselfishly and
deyotedly represented the interests OF
the great tolllng masses, and even
though he should remain private
citizen the common people of this
great land will hold him in everlast-
ing esteem for his services during
this campaign.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Late last
evening Chairman Butler, of the ma
tional Populist committee, is not
ready to concede the election of Nc
Kinley, but says:
Every report from the back districts
is in our favor. This especially is true
in South Dakota, which we have car
rled and Kentucky, which looks more
favorable by later returns. Our best
districts are in the country and we
cannot tell how large our vote will be

Mr.. Edgerton said; "We have C ar
ried every Southern state with the
exception of West Virginia and Mary
land and possibly Kentucky, also every
state west of the Missouri river with
the exception of California, Oregon
aud North Dakota, and returns are
being received which indicate that
they may be placed in the Bryan
column. In the Central West reports
are being received from Indiana and

It's largely a matter of health. The
bloom and glow of health go far toward
bringing beauty. A clear skin, bright
eyes, red lips end the vivacity which
bodily good feeling brings, will make
even a homely woman handsome.
Half of the women one meets are semi
invalids. Failure to heed the warnings
of outraged nature-failure to give the
help needed by the most delicate and
sensitive organs-little troubles ignored
until they have become dominant-dis-
ease allowed every chance to spread and
gain settled seat-these things bring
about the sunken, circled eyes, the ho1-
low cheeks, the pale and sallow skin,
the habby, strengthless flesh, which
characterize the appearance OF the wo-
man who suffers from 'female weak
ness" t.i..,..,,,
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands Of suffering women. 1t
is a perfected specific for the troubles
peculiar TO them. 1t eradicates the dis
ease, stops the dragging, life-sapping
drain, and in a perfectly rational, nat
ural way, builds up the wasted strength.
1t will bring buoyant health. II will put
roses into pale faces solid flesh in
sunken places. 1t does away with the
humiliating examinations and local
treatment so much dreaded by mod
estly sensitive women. For thirty years.
