steps could not be taken toward saw
ing the lives of infants
Accordingly they decided to offer a
reward of one shilling to the first per-
son who should inform the medical
officer of the birth of a child within
As hours of its occurrence. The
mother is then to be visited by physi-
clans and women health visitors, who
will instruct her as to the best meth
ods of feeding, washing and clothing
the child, while in addition detailed
instructions are to be prepared apd
printed for general distribution.
The health officers will also exam
inc the homes of the mothers and fac
tories and other places where women
are employed, and cases where deaths
of children under one year have oc-
Cured will be investigated. Fur
thermore, a years experiment will be
undertaken with a day nursery, where
children will be cared for, and steril-
lied milk will be supplied for the ba-
bies.
Huddersfield is a manufacturing
town, and the authorities consider
that its present strength can best be
preserved through maintaining Its ma
tive labor. They therefore believe
that IL the infant mortality is reduced
to minimum large majority OF the
children would grow to manhood and

OSTEOPATHY.
Observation-Disclosures Powders.

This subject was brought into
prominence recently by the crusade by
the medical doctors of Kansas City
against the use of headache powders
They are coal tar products, whose re-
suits are gotten through depressing
the hearts action, so as to decrease
the blood to the head. This frequent
depression finally results in incurable
heart disease, and frequently in sud
den death. Medical texts assert their
inability to cure, which is abundantly
confirmed by experience.
Osteopathy goes at this in the usual
way, seeking the cause. This Is al
most invariably found in irregularity
of the bones of the neck, resulting in
a disturbance of the blood flow to the
brain. This makes the condition del
icate, ready to be overthrown by one
of the many exciting influences, indi-
gestion, female troubles, worry, ETC.
The cure is evident: correct the ir-
regularities of the neck. This is what
the Osteopath does, and very rarely
does he fail to get permanent cure.

SHAME THAT WON'T RUB OFF.

One of the largest manufacturers
of road and street machinery has ac-
tually called in its travelling statesmen
and Will hereafter sell machinery
only by direct order, owing to the dis
gusting grating methods practiced
by city councils and other public
bodies in purchasing supplies of this
kind
For the last three or four years,
this manufacturer declares, it has
been necessary to add from $500 to
$500 to the list of prices of his ma
chinese to cover illegitimate "commis-
sions" exacted by street committees
and others making purchases.
It has come to be a contest among
the big manufacturers, he further
says, to see who will offer the biggest
"rake-off'' and so he withdraws from
the field in disgust and shame for the
American citizens who pose as honest
and respectable business men, yet
who are the most disgusting parasites
in society.
No other practice known to civili-
zation is so disgusting and demoraliz-
ing as this. 1t causes brother to rob
brother, partner to rob partner, Off
cial to rob the public and starts hum
dreds of decent men downward.
1t is a burning disgrace on the
name of the country to have it said
that manufacturers of supplies for
public corporations must maintain a
regular graft fund"
1t is a burning disgrace on man
hood for public officials who walk the
streets before their fellows as honest
citizens, to make a studied profession
of demanding a graft for performing
the public duties confided to them by
their fellow citizens.
If there is one crime which de-
mands the serious consideration OF
every town, city, hamlet and state II
is this disgusting crime of grating.
A few wholesome examples should
be made of polished rascals who pose
as good citizens. It would have q
beneficial effect.

CAUSE OF POSTAL DEFICIT.

The deficit of s12. coo, 600 in the pos
tai department for the fiscal year calls
renewed attention to the outrageous
manner in which the government is
held up by the railroads in the matter
of charges for the transportation of
the mails, says Bryan's Commoner
1t is well known that the general
public has to paw unfair prices. but
the general shipping public escapes
comparatively easy by the side of the
government. The government pays
about eight times as much. pound for
pound, as the express companies pay
on the same trains. and the govern
ment pays rent for the postal cars
while the express companies pay
nothing for the express cars. But
every effort to secure fair transporta-
ton rates for the mail is effectually
blocked by the railroads.
When it is remembered that the
government pays the railroads up
wards of $S5,OOO,OOO year for trans
porting the mails the public may have
a better idea of why the railroad man
ayers take so much interest in elect
ing congressman and senators, and
securing pliable officials in the vari-
Gus departments of the postal service.

ENCOURAGE HOME INDUSTRY.

In cities where prices are as low as
in Chicago or New York. the perni-
cious mail order habit is nearly dead.
But it exists in some oregon cities and
towns. For their benefit these timely
words from the Missoulian of Mis-
soula, Mont, are quoted:
I'VE confidently predict that the
trade of mail order houses from the
Western states will fall off at least
one-half before the close of 1905.

THE WORK OF sACAJAWEA.

Richard Lloyd Jones concludes his
article on Our North Coast Empire"
in Golfers for June II by saying:
The Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland is great because of all it
signifies. Let us not forget that 100
years ago Briton and Frenchman and
Spaniard were hammering at our
gates. In our abundance and luxury
let us recount those rugged days when
Indians beleaguered our wooden cas-
ties and wolves paved our cabin
doors.
1t required hero stuff to build our
North Coast Empire, and upon an i'm
mortal four win ever rest that glory:
Thomas Jefferson the nation builder;
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,
the empire hunters, and the red-skin-
ned girl Sacajawea, who led them to
their conquest. In all the annals of
history there, is no story to parallel
that of the Indian birdwoman who
more than once saved the heart of
that great enterprise from swift de-
cay, and even denied her own pa
pOOSe the lOnR-SaVed cruStS tnat the
strength of our color bearers might
not fade.
With outstreched arm she led a hos
tile race that they might build great
cities over the graves of her kind.
But for her the turrets and towers
that rose along the trail might today
fly the bunting of foreign flag. She
was the silent, faithful, untiring path
finder who led the Stars and Stripes
up Missouri's waters, over the great
Rocky divide, and down the Sunset
River" to the great father of seas
that white children might some day
sing the song she herself had loved
long before it's words were framed
"My country, it's of thee, sweet land
of liberty" She, like Columbus, be-
lieved that zone day with life ano
heart is more than time enough tc
| find a world" In the heart of JEFF
ferson's brave explorers she kept tina
spirit aflame. And so we celebrate.

hope eventually of making her

JUDICIAL PROpRIETY.

From The Bar.
Unless the newspapers have mis-
represented the proceedings Of a
political meeting or convention held
at Kingwood recently in the interest
of one of the candidates for Con-
gress in the Second District, the
Circuit Court, then in session, sus-
pended business to give place to the
meeting. and then the judge Of that
Court, himself, made speech in
behalf of the candidate in whose
interest the meeting was held.
We would fain hope that the
newspaper report was incorrect, but
no denial of any part OF is has fol-
lowed, and we regret to say, that
all inquiries we have made, only
confirm the accuracy OF the report
as published.
Perhaps a judge who undertakes
thus to run a court and run a poll
tical partisan meeting as an adjunct
at the same time and at the same
place, and under the same auspices,
so to speak, has some peculiar no.
tions or ideals by which he justifies
such a mixture in his own mind,
but it does not comport, by any
means, with the notions or sense Of
propriety of the legal profession or
the intelligent people Of the State
Of any party.
The judge who thus publicly and
deliberaIly compromised his high
position may be a very impartial
and conscientious man on tie bench,
but he will fail to carry the conf.
dence which is due the integrity Of
our Courts, while he is dealing out
law on the one hand and political
pariisanship on the other. His
whole duty is not done even when
he abstains from active psrtisanship
he should avoid the very APPEARANCE
Of psrtisanship.
There has been a very marked re-
vival Of sentiment in this State, in
the last two or three years, in favor
OF non partisan judiciary. In the
last campaign the candidates for
judgeships thought it expedient to
manifest this sentiment, and to
pledge themselves to an impartial
and non partisan administration OF
their Office. Il will be a great dis
appointment to the bar Of the State
that such an example Of redeeming
these pledges, and exalling the bench
above the very breath of suspicion.
should be made by ono Of our Cir.
cult lodges.
