MUZZLE THE TIGER.

The Democrats await with
strong interest the action of the
republican county convention.
Their hope-their My hope
lies in the supposed disposition
of republicans to play into their
hands aud we are not inclined to
emphasize supposed"
Notwithstanding the large ma
jority against their party, there
are active candidates for places on
the democratic ticket, and they
are not prompted by martyr-like
zeal. They expect the republi-
cans to deliberately turn down
their own candidates and elect
the opposition nominees. Past
experience tends to justify the ex-
pectation.
It is claimed that "there is no
politics in local Offices" Demo-
cratic leaders consider this a
splendid proverb--for republic
cans. Upon their own following
they impress the fact-and It'll a
fact-that it is very essential to
the proper organization and gen.
eral welfare of the party, that
these ''paying" Offices be captur-
ed. For years the democratic
politicians have played the repub-
licans of Benton county for
sssuckers" and have found their
fishing profitable.
There is no necessity for max
ing terms with the democrats. If
the republicans vote their own
ticket they can elect every man
on it without making co1nbina-
tions. It is an easy enough mat
ter to disappoint these Tammany
leaders. There will be no diff
Guilty in selecting material for a
good, strong ticket.
All the candidates for nomina-
ton can not, of course, be nomi-
mated. There is bound to be dis
appointment as a result of the
convention, but this year espe-
cially, the candidates express the
strongestintentions Of abiding by
the decision of the convention,
and supporting the various nomi-
nees, whoever they may be. This
is the right spirit and insures vic
tory. United we stand, and
united we will be.

1NOUIREG CATHOLIC.

Ut seems that Traynor is rel
ceiving severe criticism inside
the order as we'll as outside of it.
Joseph Slatterly, in the April A.
P. A. magazine, has long letter
from which the following extract
is made: 81, as a member of
the American Protective Associ-
alton, demand that the supreme
president be investigated. I say
if he knows them to be traitors"
-referring to some vague charges
made by Traynor recently-"and
keeps silent, he is a traitor him
self. Or if he does not know
them to be traitors, he is not an
honest man to make such an as
sertion. He can sit upon either
horn of the dilemma he chooses.
Again, he talks about smercenary
motives'--wonderf11l indeed! Is
not the supreme president get
ting fine fat salary? Is not he
getting a large allowance for trav-
cling expenses? Has he not put

What Shall We Do To Be Saved?

There is in this country at the
present time, a large body of
American citizens that feel i'll at
ease regarding the safety of their
rights as such. Their rights are
being questioned by another body
known as the A. P. A. The for
mer is made up of Catholics, and
all those differing-either in re-
1igious or political belief-with
the latter.
Now, as one of the former, I
seek information from the latter.
l believe In the teachings of the
Catholic church. I know of moth
ing better. In this church I have
been taught to be just to my fell
low man in all my dealings, re-
gardless of his condition or stand
ing in life. I have never heard
or read any teaching that would
conflict with this. AS a Catholic
religious teacher, the church
must extend through the world; ;
each national branch must have
its officers, but over all there
must be one supreme head, one
that is not recognized as belong
ing to any particular nation,
while in the discharge of the
duties of this office. / can see
no objections to this organization.
I do not know how it can be Inn
proved on. I know of none SO
perfect in its workings, and i
woxld object if it were not SO.

PLATFORM SUGGESTIONS.

If the republican convention
of Benton county adopts a plat
form, it should be careful of its
phraseology. The party should
put forth an honest platform or
none. In the matter of public
economy, the platform should
promise enough and not promise
more than is practicable, or
more than the party is capable of
fulfilling.
On the financial question it
might be well to not anticipate
the state platform. The money
question Is not the only political
issue, nor, indeed, is it the most
important matter before the peo-
pie at this time. And while
there is great difference of opin-
ion and very strong OPT .ions be-
tween republicans, it is a matter
in which the majority should
rule. The republican party that
was organized for the preserva-
ton Of the union should not be
disrupted on account of a diver
sity of opinion regarding the
amount per capita of circulating
medium. A republican platform
naturally will declare in favor of
protection. 1t was under this
policy that the country prosper
ed and it was the threatened dis
continuance of this policy that
brought our people disaster.
In state matters the most inn
portant reform that should be
promised by our party platform
is the repeal of the present as
sessment and taxation laws
They are unjust. A man should
pay taxes only on that which he
actually owns. The exemption
for Indebtedness law was proper
and equitable and a new law
along the same lines should be
enacted.
The convention should favor
strongly constitutional conven-
ton. Among other things the
new constitution should fix the
proper salaries for the various
state officers and define clearly
their duties. This is the only
proper method of settling this
question. 1t is admitted that
the present constitutional sala-
ries are not adequate and the
present method of additional
compensation is not satisfactory.
The efficacy of remedial legisla-
ton on these lines by the legis-
1ature is doubtful.
There will probably be other
questions that will come up for
incorporation in the platform.
They should be considered care
fully and acted upon wisely.

in need Of monumental work.

This man is Canadian Irish Or
angeman. He came from Toron-
to, Ont, and located In Detroit
shortly after the war. He en-
gagged in the saloon business on
Atwater street near Water street;
the whitechaple district of that
city. On each side of him were
houses of ill-falne, known as the
house of lords and the house of
commons. The chief of police,
Martin v. BargInan, was finally
obliged to close them up. Tray
nor then engaged as travelling
salesman for the liquor dealers,
Doolittle & Robinson, on Wood
ward Ave, near the docks. At
that time there was no state IL
cense on saloons IN Michigan.
Traynor then started paper in
the interest of the liquor dealers
association, called the Public
Leader, for the purpose of fight
ing the license law In his pa

Rev. John Russell, founder of
the prohibition party. He also
! used the most vile abuse to the
members of the w. c. T. u.
Traynor made money out of the
enterprise. His Office was located
in west Larmard street. In De-
| troit he was known as ''Whiskey
Bill. +" He began publishing ar
ticles from Tom Paine and other
inhdel writings; by this he lost a
great portion of his support, and
the paper finally went under. He
then started the Detroit Hotel Re-
porter, which he ran for a short
time, it becoming SO corrupt that
the city authorities closed it up.
| Traynor is an avowed inffdel,
and advocates, these principles on
all occasions. He was schooled
under George Brown, of the To-
ronto Globe. Brown was grand
master of the Orangemen of upper

of the Americans and the Grand
Army. I know by personal ex-
perience that without exception

Republican Primaries.

Iledt Interest was mdu11cSteO
in the republican primaries held
in Benton county last Saturday
and the contest in some of the
Corvallis precincts was especi-
ally warm. A number of demo-
Gratis renounced their party Sat-
nrday and cast their votes for re-
publican delegates. The 6nan-
cia1 question cut no figure in the
selection of delegates, friendship
for the various candidates for
county nominations being the
principal factor influencing the
workers, although the interests
of Senator Mitchell and Con-
gresham Hermann were not al
lowed to snfer. In Corvallis
No. 8 there were two tickets both
alike, with the exception Of one
name. Geo. w. Smiths name
was on one and J. Mason's on
the other. The former was
elected. In No. there were
four tickets in the field and hon
ors were even between, two of
them. Nearly all the delegates
are favorable to the return of
Mitchell and Hermann, while
for the local candidates there is
great diversity of opinion.
The delegates-elect will have
plenty of interviews between
now and Saturday. The fol-
lowing is the list of delegates as

one OF the most interesting results of sci

lie New York Pathological Institute that
what is known as sunstroke is caused by
the generation of toxic properties IN tie
constituent elements of the body through
Tire influence OF excessive heat. The theory
is that certain organic elements become
changed and develop 20 sonous qualities
which cause death. The laboratory of the
human system becomes upset, as it were,
and normally beneficent forces are change ]
into malignant agencies. Secretions taken
from the tody of persons who died from
sunstroke and injected into rabbits re-
suited in death in short time. If further
investigation and experiment shall denon-
strate the correctness of present assump-
ton. the percentage of ceaths from pros
tration by heat will he presumabi greatly
diminished during future hot spells
While it~is@rather an uncomfortable
thought that thousands of people have died

real nature of the affliction and treated
it accordingly. consolation is 10 lie found in
contemplation of the fact that discoveries
OF tiIis kind bring home to professional
Juep the conviction OF their comparative ig
norance and stimulate them 10 further re-
search, study and investigation. The more
we learn the more certain a re we that much
is still to be learned and upon the knowl-
