DOWNING BRowNE11 ONCE MORE

The Oregonian has downed Brownell
once more. While that gentleman is
under indictment for putting his mo-
tarial seal on the wrong paper, the Ore
gonian is indicting him in advance Of
being unpopular in Clackamas county.
That is about the most serious charge
that could be brought against Senator
Brownell. He has tried hard TO be
popular, and to keep the affections of
his constituents, and has in the past
succeeded in remarkable degree in
doing so.
The Oregonian can make a man un-
popular sometimes, but in the case Of
Brownell II has not succeeded. Even
at the Grand Army meeting the peo-
pie stood up and cheered at the men
tion Of his name, and he had all kinds Of
reception from the common people.
Senator Brownell will come up for
reelection TO the state senate next
spring, and the time to down him Is
now, because after he once gets start
ed on his campaign he will probably
be ronominated, and once on the ticket
the oregonian will not dare fight him.
SO the time to down him Is not in the
faraway future but right now, and the
oregonian has started in early and is
doing very effective work on this line.
OF course, when the time' comes II
will support Brownell.

POLICY OF IMPROVEMENT.

The City Of Salem in order to grow
and develop into a city such as the
state capital should become must enter
upon n policy Of improvements.
Permanent streets and bridges are a
necessity in a community like this, and
there is not a good reason why these
improvements should not bo made.
There Is no other way Of getting
this city to grow and expand and be.
come a home for workingmen without
moro public improvements.
Every dollar expended honestly FOR
better stroets and sewers and bridges
benefits not only the city but is hau-
died over and over in the channels
of trade
II would benefit the laborer, the
merchant, the mechanic, the banker and
the professional man to have $1,000
expended In this manner,
improvements win attract business
men TO this city, as well as laboring
people. II will bring new capital here
and stimulate trade OF all kinds.
No city in this age Of the world that
amounts to anything at all will try TO
get along without public improvements,
and the Capital City has pursued TIN
policy too long for its own good.

TITE MITCHELL TRIAL.

The public has been interested In
che trial of Senator Mitchell as never
Before in the trial Of a public man in
Oregon.
The Senator's old age, his long pub.
uic career, the bitter fights that have
been put up against him, all add to
ahc pathos Of the situation.
The desertion of his law partner, the
areaehery Of his private secretary, and
the relentless prosecution by the gov.
.ernment intensity the situation.
Up to Saturday night there had been
uetbiDg disclosed that would justify
a verdict Of guilty-at least for being
guilty Of doing anything that senators
sana congressman have not generally
ubcen guilty Of.
There may be senators and congress
unen who are lawyers and who never
appeared before the departments, and
never directly or indirectly acted for a
fee while in office in matters in which
tho government was party, but they
are not numerous.
In none Of the matters charged in the
indictment does IL appear that Senator
Mitchell did anything in any Of the
cases in which his law partner or his
girm was interested that he did not do
Scr scores Of other people and without
compensation.
The fact that Senator Mitchell has
womained poor man all his life, goes
TO prove that he is not the gigantic
CRATER that he is accused Of being.
Tho Portland newspapers and the
Associated Press stuff sent out TO tho
contrary. Senator Mitchell has so far
had the best Of IL.

THIRTY MILLIONS FROM NEWS.
PAPER ADVERTISING.
(Sncrnmento Ree.l

The vast fortune Of $30,000,000,
rolled up by the late William Ziegler,
known as "the baking powder king, 1"
is n monument TO the value Of adver-
tising.
Anybody can make baking powder.
There is no mystery in its manufacture,
although consumers may not know
what they are getting. But II takes
shrewdness and judgment to advertise
effectively and so create a great de-
mand for any particular brand.
The only secret Of Zeigler's success,
IL II be secret, is that he knew the
value Of advertising, and how TO do
II well. He wasted no money on bill
posters, landscape marrers or in other
Improbable ways, but paid out mil
lions Of dollars freely for space in the
newspapers. So his money came back
TO him many times over.
Advertising is the baking powder
that makes business men rise in the
world.
Get a good thing, stick to 1t, and ad.
vertise II well--that's the whole Of
business sense In these times, If you
can't write good advertisements, which
is no small art, the newspapers have
clever men who know how to do II for
you. These world painters Of the bust
ness office can make a $9.s5 suit Of
clothes look better, in print, than one
made to order that costs $50. They can
at least describe "saerihee" or
"slaughter sale" in such moving terms
as TO wiring the readers heart with
pity for the losses Of the unfortunate
merchant compelled TO sell regardless
of cost, 10 make room for new stock,
or sternly determined to carry over
no goods beyond the present season.
The skill of these Maeaulays of the
advertising world has created ma
tional reputation for such men as Gov
ernor Douglas Of Massachusetts,, and
such women as Lydia Pinkbam, like
wise FOR the makers Of "pink pills.

use of the big stick was never more

forced a policy Of strangulation in the
past and had adopted policy of non

Here is an explanation of the old
horseshoe superstition: st. Dustan

at work at his forge, the devil entered
in disguised, and requested Dunstan to
shoe his "single hoof." The saint, al'
though he recognized his malign Gus
