The trouble with the young man Of

the primary fact that commerce 10 no

son why ships come to Portland to load
Is that II IL cheaper 10 load here than
elsewhere. The proof that II ls cheaper
is that It continues to be tho practice Of
commerce. And wherever Il comes 10 be
cheaper to load elsewhere. ships will nos
load here. The men who export our

FOR local interests and entirely coid-bIood

Perils of Amateur Photography.

Mllltarlsm in Germany is no re-
specter OF amateur photographers. The
story which follows is the more sig
nlncant because its victim, far from
Delng foreigner, was an honest Ger
man merchant touring with bicycle and
camera in the neighborhood of Dantzic
A fortnight since, after taking a few
snap shots of the lighthouse opposite
Westerplatte, he dismounted on his
way 10 the bathing place to watch
soiiie sololerS drilling. He was stand :
Ing with a number of other spectators
but MS instrument was in his hand A
moment later the stentorian voice of a
Lieutenant ordered the sentinel to ar
rest the man with the photograph in
strument The, apparatus was taken
from him, and the prisoner was forced
TO stand in the sentry box with his
race to the wall like a naughty school
boy until the arrival of the patrol. Be-
tween rows OF fixed bayonets he was
then escorted through the principal
streets of Westerplatte to the police
station, where his name and address
We're taken and his pockets emptied.
The ensuing stages of his punishment
We're a sea trip with a policeman TO
Dantzlc, night in a dirty police cell
and five days in solitary confinement.
AT the end of that time the photo
graphic plates found in his possession
having been developed at the Imperial
Courts of Justice at Leipsic, and dis
covered to be of a quite legitimate ma
ture the unfortunate photographer
was set at liberty. The most dramatic
incident of his story concerns the
struggle the prisoner had with a police
officer who wished in his zeal to in
vestigate the plates in broad daylight.
Had he given way to this demand the
plates would have been ruined and
their unfortunate owner, as an object
of indelible suspicion, would probably
have had to spend six months instead
OF six days in prison.-Berlin CORE

have commenced to use it. The folks
all say that if DR.. Hartman's medicine
cures me it must be great" In later
letter he says: " 1 am still improving in
health; people call me we'll now. I am
still using your medicine. People want
to know what has done me so much good
and I can easily tell them"
Mr.. Brake, of Petrolea, Ontario, Can
ada, writes: +" Four years ago 1 had q
severe attack of Bright's Disease, which
brought me SO low the doctor said moth
ing more could be done for me. 1 began
to take Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin, and
IN three months was we'll man, and

The Real Reason,

Long ago he had taken the resolu-
ton always to be perfectly honest with
his children.
My son." he accordingly observed,
II am beating you with this trunk
strap not for your own good but be-
cause am hot under the collar! No,
1t does not by any means hurt me
more than it hurts you!'
In the face of such a luminous exam
pie it would be strange if a boy did
not grow up to be an honest man.
1t was perhaps possible to overdo
this thing and render a boy so honest
that he would be unable to earn his
living in any of the learned professions
but that difficulty, if it existed at ALL
was theoretical rather than practical. =

Yes, if 1t is conceded, for arguments s
sake, that in a local election there is
no real political issue. nevertheless, as
the San Francisco "Argonaut" well
puts it: IF the Republicans wish TO
carry the State next year. they can
not afford to handicap themselves by
intrenching the Democrats in power in
this city without a better reason than
any that has been urged" So we sag
here. Sacramento cannot afford to give
aid and encouragement to the opposi-
ton to the Administration by electing
the Democratic nominees in November.
To do so would be to herald abroad
that the Capital City of California IS
antagonistic to the policy prosecuted
in suppressing the insurrection in the
Philippines. Mr.. Horace Davies. the
Republican nominee for Mayor of San
Francisco put it squrely the other
night, when he said: "The election will
be the advance skirmish of the great
battle which will be fought over the
whole country a year from now. Vic
tory now will strengthen us in the ma
tional fight" Precisely; and converse
ly defeat now will weaken US a year
hence, and will go abroad as the equiv
alent of triumph for the Aguinaldoites

be made in other communities.

Mr.. G. K. Cosby, of Vale Mills, Giles
county, Tenn, writes: {" Five years ago
I contracted q very bad case of kidney
trouble. I was expected to die by all
my friends; but, to the surprise of all, Il
still live, thanks to Pe-ru-na and Mama
lin."
Ernst Knobloch, Gal1itzin, Pa, writes:
"Pe-ru-na cured me of kidney trouble.
I will recommend your medicine be-
cause can do so truthfully."
Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads
to chronic Bright's disease. Pe-ru-na
should be taken atthe appearance of the
first symptom. If taken in the early
stages of the disease Pe-ru-na is sure to
cure every case. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh
of the kidneys simply because it cures
catarrh wherever located. No other sys-
temic catarrh remedy has as yet been
devised. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are no medicines that can be sub
stituted.

Mr.. Bryan is wonderfully stirred up
by the receptions the President receives
at the hands of the people He is led by
some Of the speeches of the President
to charge him with disloyalty to the
declaration and violation of the funda-

trouble with Mr.. Bryan is that the
President does not think along the same
lines with him, and what is worse, for
Bryan, the people appear to be think
