progress along these lines. AS it
now is, the Linn county wheel.nan
who travels through Benton county
receives the benefit of the improved
paths in the latter county, but
when the Bentonite wheels through
Linn county he gets no return favor
This applies equally to all the
exempt counties in the Villas ettr
valley especially. 1t is another
manifestation oil the smallness, se.-
fishness, narrowness and mossiness
of the average citizen. One is not
so much surprised that Linn and
Lane would line up against any
progressive movement, but how
Polk, Yamhill and Washington
could be wheedled into a position
of this kind is indeed strange.
The wheel is a piece of business
machinery and it has come to stay,
and any reasonable law that will
encourage the betterment of wheel
ing facilities, and especially when
the burden falls equally upon the
wheelmen while the benefits are
divided with the public, is good,
just, progressive and statesmanlike.
The wheelmen of Benton county
may well feel proud of their position
among the wide-a- wake, intelligent
citizens of the state. 1t is undoubt-
edly to the activity of our wheel
men as manifested in their organi-
cation last year that we are with
the moving column of counties in
/ this great work of road improve
ment.
Had the wheelmen of these other
localities been awake they might
have prevented such disgraceful
piece of legislation as this exemp-
ton clause makes.
Still in one of these counties our
wheelmen have personal knowledge
that their own mossiness is equal
to that of their delegations, to
whom undoubtedly was due the
insertion ofthe names of the exempt
counties
What more than local good car
! come from making cycle paths in
Benton at one end and Multnomaf
at the other. Had these othel
counties done their plain, simple
duty, nothing more, there could
have been system of cycle paths
from one end of the valley to tht
other, of vast benefit to all country
wheelmen alike. These exempt

child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.

child reaches an age when it should
be able to control the passage, and it
is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, de.

Guilty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment
of those important organs. This un-
pleasant trouble is due to diseased
condition of the kidneys and bladder
and not to habit as most people
suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain
or dull ache in the back; if the water
passes in irregular quantities; or at
irregular intervals or has bad odor;
if it stains the linen or vessel the color
of rust; if the feet swell; if there are
puffy or dark circles under the eyes;
your kidneys are the cause and need

MEAT WAS RETURNED.
Witness at Kansas City Testifies be-
fore Court of Inquiry of
Spoiled Canned Beef.

Kansas City. Mo-, March 2olThe
beef court of inquiry resumed the talk
ing of testimony Saturday morning at
its headquarters in the Midland hotel.
L. A. Raabo, who formerly worked in
the canning department at Armour's,
and who had previously testified that
at one time. as high as 80 per cent. of
canned meat hadlbeen rejected after be-
ing prepared by his firm, was recalled.
He said that while he was employed in
Undergraduates two car loads of spoiled
canned beef were returned from the
army. When the cars We're opened,
many of the cans were found bursted
and maggots were crawling every
where. About two cans out of each
case were spoiled.
Henry M. Campbell, an employe of
the canning department. said that out
of about 5000 cases packed daily I'M
der his inspection, an average of so
to rs cans were rejected. OF the two
carloads returned from the army, but
10 or 80 cases were finally rejected after
reinspection at the plant. The rest was
put back in stock.
Gerald Miles, who worked in the la
bel room, and had helped unpack the
returned army beef, gave practically
the same testimony as the others as to
its condition on receipt from the south.
Replying to question directed by Maj.
Lee, Miles said that the labels on the
meat furnished the government were
dated.
| A. j. Bowie, of the packing depart
ment, stated that out of so, 900 to co. 0O
cans of meat of all kinds there was a
daily average rejection of from 200 to
$50, mostly because of leaky cans. The
rejected meat was reinspected, the bad
going to the refuse tank, and the rest
into stock.
II. T.. Antoine, foreman at Armour's
canning department, who was Friday
instructed to bring into court the rec.
ords of cans rejected during May and
June, 1898, was recalled. His records
were offered in evidence. One, for May
II, read by Recorder Davis, showed that
of 1890 cans of meat of all kinds pun
up that day, 23s were rejected because
| of leaky cans orfor other minor causes
| Antoine went on to state that extreme
| precaution was exercised in filing the
| government orders. The meat for the
| government was shipped as soon as
canned. He said that it is frequentl,
the case that fine leaks in the cans dc
not develop for three or four days
Meat furnished the government was pu,

were dated. He was uncertain as tt
the exact dates on which the two car
loads returned from the army were re
ceived. The court requested him te

Two Democratic leaders,.

Perhaps 1t would be better to de-
scribe them as one leader and one
back number we refer to William j.
Bryan and Grover Cleveland the
former is alert, instinct with life and
vigor, strenuous, enthusiastic, virile,
and the other reeks with dullness and
and the gangrene of mugwumpery.
Cleveland left his party weaker, more
incoherent and more discordant than
he found it. Bryan took up the dying
embers of its spirit and famed them
into raging flame. He gave his party
inspiration, fervor, hope. He ami
mated and revivified it. Despite the
assertions and the treacheries
wrought by vanity and avarice in 1896
he developed some 700, 900 more votes
than had ever been cast for any demo-
cratic candidate before, including Mr..
Cleveland, and he gave to the coun-
| try the spectacle of an ardent, united
and homogeneous party organization.
While Mr.. Cleveland. thrice the nomi-
nee of democratic national conven-
ton and indebted to the party for all
his eminence and prosperity-while
Mr.. Cleveland sat apart, sullen con-
spirator agains his quandom bene-
factors, encouraging infidelity and
laudlng the party wickedness, Bryan
famed in the forefront of the battle,
Il striking and invigorating figure, and
incarnation of youth, and strength,
and ardor. He relit the fires of demo-
cratic zeal. He gave the party life,
put blood into its veins and set it's
pulses throbbing. He held thousands
in the grasp of his imperious elo-
quence, and sent them from him tun-
ed to loyalty and heroism. He took
the dead carcass of the democratic
party from the ground upon which
his predecessor had CONTEMPORARY
flung it, and filled it with the fire and
joy of youth.
Say what one may as to the sound
ness of the doctrine Mr.. Bryan preach
ed, there can be no two opinions as to
his qualities of leadership. Mr.. Cleve-
land hid himself in the temple of his
party, solemn, owlish, heavy as pa
gan idol, but Mr.. Bryan took the van
guard of his army and lead it, pal
pitating and inspired force, into the
red vortex of the fight. The one was
an oracle, hid away in caves, yelled
in mystery, manifested himself in
rumblings and strange noises. The
other, an impetuous apostle. with
bright sword and flashing armor, cleft
the way for those that followed him.
No doubt there are doting and iafatu-
ated idolaters who still await another
advent of the mugwump dispensation,
another revelation of the mugwump
lfetich. But the democracy on the
1 fighting line have done with ecstasy
and superstition. He who leads them
next year must be thing OF flesh and
blood-a warrior himself. Washing
