WHY Nor A law PRODUCERS.

The state grange finds fault with
the state Agricultural College for not
being more of a farmerl' college.
There Is not enough attention paid
there to educating farmers and there
are too many city boys and sons of
families who are not farmers.
They do not exactly call It dude
factory but reading between the lines
that is pretty nearly the opinion of
the grange.
There is surely some mistake in
this estimate of the Agricultural col
lege, and the literary and cultural
courses there have great merit
II there be any fault with the school
If 1t be top-heavy with culture instead
OF agriculture, II must be the fault of
the regents.
The board of regents have been
largely politicians and professional
men-few producers and actual tillers
Of the soil have been appointed.
It would seem to be almost an an.
omaly to make up the regents of an
Agricultural college of lawyers, bank
ers and professional politicians
II shows the light regard In which
the men who TIN the soil are held in
a great agricultural state like Oregon.
The farmer don't count for much
when Il comes to Official honors. Put
farmers on that board of regents and
they viii trim the fTbelows and frils
that are purely ornamental.

of Oregon wish to see re-lnaugurated.
Mr.. Hermann's policy as commits
sioner in the interests of the develop
ment of the west, did not suit Mr..
Hitchcock, and this clash led to Mr..
Hermann retiring. This action on his
part, taken in preference to changing
the policy of his administrations
policy which he believed to be to the
best interests OF hist state-was cred
table and loyal in Mr.. Hermann. Yet
his enemies have persistently since
then made it the excuse for all man
ner of personal attack. His present
political opponent, Mr. Veatch, is hurl.
ing calumny and abuse at him from
the stump, and making accusations as
untrue as they are offensive. Con
siderable more than a year has passed
since Mr.. Hermann's retirement. Had
the first papt of the charges made
against him by his noisy opponent
been true, Federal Indictment would
have followed long ago.
The voters of this district should
not give credit to the wholesale and
unfounded accusations of Mr. Veatch.
At the coming election they should
set the stamp Of their disapproval up
on this campaign of calumny and
abuse, and express their confidence in
Mr.. Hermann, by giving him an over
whelming majority. Benton county
will do her part.

So great and small the land-grabber

The worst thing that can be said
of Binger Hermann In all the land
scandals that have filed the air in
Oregon for the past thirty years, is
that he has helped all the grabbers
alike, great and small.
If row arose and some big corpo

to swipe a lot of little grabbers off
the face of the earth, old Binger got
his ear close to the soil and sided with

In all his battles with Hitchcock
and other high-muck-I-mucks of the
land department who were trying to
promote some big steal of the million

The homesteader, the timber-claim

The Journal publishes free notices

stand against the proposed local OPP

bad and unwise legislation, and ad-

this question, although held at church

F.. F. Toevs of Salem is doing grand
good work on the Albany Herald for
the Republican cause.
The Democratic campaign for coun-
ty Judge has taken on hopeful look
in the eyes of some people now that
Frank Durbin is said to be pushing
Corby.
If everybody who ever grabbed a
piece of public land in Oregon or took
in violation of some technical ruling
of the land department, votes for
Hermann, his election will be by
quite majority.
Is there any valid reason why you
should go Democratic this year?

Another Chance for Dunn.

Indianapolis, Jan. 16-Charles w.
Dunn, who was convicted of the MUIR
der of little Alice Cothrell at Wallen,
Ind, is to have another chance for his
life, the supreme court having grant
ed rehearing in his case. When the
judgment Of conviction was affirmed
last June, two judges out of five dis
scented, though Judge Bowling, who
wrote the majority opinion, expressed
the opinion that his guilt was clearly
shown. In the petition for a rehearing
it was earnestly insisted that no evil
dence showed Dunn even to have seen
the little girl on the day she was MUIR
dered, and that the chief evidence
against his character was not worthy
Of any belief.

indianapolis, Jan. 16.- The city

this city are put in such condition
that such a disaster as that which oc-
CURED in Chicago recently shall not
happen in indianapolis.
1t is proposed to make several

there may be no errors the council
men are taking the matter in hand
themselves, and in the last two days
the special committee appointed to in
vestigate this important question has
been making a personal examination
of the theaters to see if they are in
good shape. The councilmen have
found some things which they think
should be remedied, and when the new
ordinance is drawn up it will provide
for the alterations they think should
be made.

The court sustained the point At one
point in the trial Mr.. Douglass, for the
defense, called on Justice Pritchard
to reprimand First Assistant Postmas-
ter-General Wynne for volunteering
the statement that a former employee
of the postof8ce department recently
has been sentenced in Baltimore to
term of two years in the penitentiary
The suggestion was not complied with
but the justice instructed the jury that
their minds must not be prejudiced
by the statement of Mr.. Wynne.
Perry S. Heath, former assistant
postmaster general, who was subpoen-
aed from his home in Salt Lake City
to state what he knew about the adj
ministration of his office, was placed
on the stand. Heath was visibly ner
vous, but made his answers slowly and
deliberately. No changes in the post
office administration had been inaug
urated by him, he declared. He said
the Croft fasteners had been accepted
before he took Office. Heath said he
had never known the GrOffs nor had
he ever seen them until he entered the
court room.

NERVE DISEASES
READILY CURED

About thirty years ago two German
physicians made the wonderful dis
covery that every portion of the body
is controlled by and supplied with
vitality by nerve centers located in
different parts of the brain.
Later DIR. Miles, President of the
Grand Dispensary, discovered that
defects of these delicate centers were
prolific cause of many weaknesses
and diseases of the various bodily or
gans. If an engine does not receive
sufficient power it cannot do is work.
The same is true of the lungs, heart,
stomach, liver, kidneys, womb, blad-
der, etc. Loss of nerve power is a
prolific cause of consumption, dys-
pepsia, headache, pain, Brights' and
heart disease, nervousness debility,
etc.
This discovery is rapidly revolu
tionizing the treatment of this class
of diseases. Cases that were former
ly incurable now yield readily to DR.
Miles new treatment. Weak nerve
centers cause or complicate every lin
gering or chronic disease. Persons
having any weakness or disease,
should read Dr. Miles SfNeuro-
pathy," booklet treating on Nerve
Cure for all chronic diseases, which
will be sent free. It contains many
interesting facts and fine Illustrations
of the various brain centers which
control the numerous organs. 1t

prick will cause instant death. Do
not fail to send postal for it.

edge is power' and send a postal

PROBABLE MURDER MYSTERY
Foul Play Suggested in the Burning
of Three Persons

of Three Persons.
Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 16.-Coroner
Tabor is making an investigation of
the causes leading to the death of Mrs.
Elizabeth Wardell and her two daugh-
tiers, aged seven and fourteen The
bodies were found burned to a crisp
in the ruins of their home, which was
destroyed by fire.
At first it was supposed that the
house was burned by fire from an old
and broken stove in the bedroom, but
later Coroner Tabor made a thorough
examination of the bodies and found
that all the skulls we're crushed and
the brains were fried by the heat of
the fire. 1t is possible, according to
the coroner, that the heat burst the
skulls, but the brains being cooked
as they were, indicates that the skulls
were first crushed and then the house
set on fire.
In examining the bodies again Cor
oner Tabor found that the abdomen of
Bessie Wardel was split open before
it was burned. The incision is clean
cut and the coroner believes that it
may have been made with a knife. A
circumstance which leads to the belief
that there was foul play is that threats
are said to have been made against
the Wardell family. The fa her is at
Michigan City prison, serving a SEN
tence for attempted assault on Edith,
one of the girls who died in the flames.
