HOW PATIENTS ARE TREATED.


The erroneous idea of embarrass-
ment, exposure and nudity, which
many hold of Osteopathic treatment
keeps many women away, who feel
the need of its ad. Nothing can be
further from truth. The custom of
the masseur In having the skin for
work, and the failure to distinguish
between Osteopathy and massage is
probably the cause of it.
The truth is the Osteopath prefers
not to work on the bare skin.
Men remove the coat and vest and
usually the outer shirt. Women re-
move corset. heavy outer garments,
and put on a wrapper or kimona. The
patient is then seated on stool, or ta-
BILE, or in some cases lies on treating
table. Thus it is seen there is nothing
to embarrarss the most modest wom-
an or girl.
This is a preface to an article next
week by Drs. Hoisington, Despair
block. on the "Pelvic Diseases of
Women" which all women. at least,
should read and heed. and save many
an operation on yourself and friends.

DECISIONS OF THE COURT.

Judge Crutchfield of Richmond.
Va, is credited with a sharper wit
than any jurist in Virginia. On one
occasion he had two cases before
him, one being that of "Red" Foster,
of the Richmond baseball team, and
the other man charged with pick
ing pockets. The Judge is a baseball
enthusiast and Fosters case was call
ed first, in order that the baseball
player might get into a game which
the judge intended to see. In fact. he
often adjourned the police court in
order to attend a game. The testl-
mony was conclusive. and Red was
fined SO for striking a negro.
"If you could hit the ball, Red,
as hard as you hit that black man
you'd be a star" remarked his honor.
The pickpocket then came up, and
pleaded not guilty; but he was friend
less, and the judge said that he was
a suspicious character anyway, and
fined him SO. The unfortunate fell
low said that he only had 81 in his
possession, whereupon the judge said
to the bailiff
Turn this man loose i'm this crowd.
and if he don't raise enough in half
an hour to pay his fine he is inno-
cent; let him CO.
BY picking no pockets for half an
hour the fellow proved his innocence,
and was discharged.-Sat Eve

II is rather unjust to Senator Mitch
ell, of Oregon, to giveQ Senator Fulton
all the credit for securing the small
appropriation for Oregon rivers and
harbors. Has not Oregon's senior
senator been laboring for over 20
years to secure some favorable legis-
lation on this subject? Has he not
laid plans that have led up to this
present triumph? Is his labor of a
quarter of a century to be set aside,
for the effort of year, made by
Senator Fulton, however earnest and
able that might have been? In fact,
the people of Oregon, by their EN-
phatic protest, did more to secure this
appropriation, than all the combined
delegations that ever sat in congress
from Oregon. The protest of cities,
commercial bodies and private citi-
zens, won this battle. If Senator Full
ton presented his case ably. we'll and
good. But don't forget other worthy
efforts in the fulsome praise for Full

it above party for the good of the
whole country.
He may get an adequate measure
through, The republican bills are not
yet up to his idea, That idea is DEM
ocratic The measure indorsed by the
democratic minority is not demo-
cratic, because it is spineless and
does not meet the demands of the
democratic platform.
When the issue is on trial the rail-
road trust will be looking for friends
among those who call themselves
democrats when election time comes
and from what these congressman
have NOT done the trusts have good
cause to believe they are not trusting
to unwilling servitors.
The democratic voters will do well
to watch the game in Washington on
railroad legislation.
The trusts ignore parties in gath
ering men to do their bidding, and
politics is cursed with men who shout
for platform declarations before the
people, get into office and forget
them and the party declarations.
And there are men of this sort in
the congressional minority. They will
bear watching.

not the worst.

tears
That bring the burrows to mans face;

That makes life bitter in the mouth.

THE LAWS DELAY.

From earliest times the laws delay
has been subject for denunciation
The pompous pretense that the ma
chinery of the law must move at a
slow pace is as strictly kept up today
as in olden times
How much the hunger of lawyers
ami court officials for accommodating
fees influences delay is a question
which it might be indelicate to dis
cuss
The case of Harry Gagan, of Cleve-
land, injured by a railway train,
which was begun through his guar
dian 10 years ago, when he was boy
of II, and which went up through all
the courts and was remanded to the
original court for retrial. has now
been held invalid because the boy has
become of age and must sue in his
own name.
There are cases like this occurring
every day all over the country.
Jchn Rudnik of Chicago, was in
| jured in 1885. In 1904 the supreme
court of Illinois awarded him $1O,-
900. If the person or firm in whose
employ he was injured was prudent
enough to put away a sum of $4,000
| in 1885 the beneficient operation OF
the principle of compound interest at
| 6 per cent has by this time added
| $4,000 to the original deposit. The
injurer gets the $4,000. The injured
gets the $4,000. Evidently a wrong
has been done.
A man whose leg is crushed earns
his money when the crushing hap
pens. If appeals, demurrers, replies
rejoinders, and other jockeyings lead
| justice astray for 10 years, it is not
the innocent that ought to suffer.
A case similar to Rudniks came tC
light not long ago. A young girl was
compelled to wait nine years for the
$4,000 which constituted the com
pensation for injuries which she had
received. Such delays give an unfaii
advantage to the stronger party.

HEARST AIDS ROOSEVELT.

William R. Hearst, through his
powerful array of newspapers. is do
ing all that is possible to assist Pres
ident Roosevelt in bringing order and
justice out of the chaos and disorder
of the present railroad rate schedules.
The following ringing editorial
from the San Francisco Examiner. is
characteristic of the effort of the
Hearst papers:
Theodore Roosevelt made a brave
stand for the right and for the peo-
pie when he denounced the robbery
and infamy of railroad rates and Sc
cret rates and urged legislation in
creasing the powers of the interstate
commerce commission
The president was specific in his
recommendation. He asked that re-
batting. rate-cutting. private car mo-
nopoly and terminal line robbery be
stopped and that the interstate COM
merce commission be given "the pow
er to revise rates and regulations, the
revised rates to go into effect at once
and to stay in effect unless and until
the court of review reverses it,"
In all this President Roosevelt was
in advance of his party. He was
moved by no platform declarations,
and in his effort he has not had the
support of. the republican majority
in congress.
But the president knows the pro-
ducer and the consumer pay the
freight. and he knows they are being
robbed, and it is good for the people
that he was brave enough to make a
stand for them.
The presidents position on this rate
question is tribute 10 his courage
and to his patriotism.
He took up the views of the honest
and progressive democracy, and wher
he adopted them the majority of the
democratic minority seemed willing
and glad to surrender their views tC
him.
A year ago the Hearst bill regulat
ing railroads, was introduced, and ir
his recommendations the president
adopted its main features.
The Hearst bill marked the begin
ming of the present agitation for re
lief.
The democrats in convention in st
Louis made specific declarations fol
the control of railroads.

ocratic body seems to be content will

There is one junketing trip, which
the East Oregonian believes would

stend the entire legislature from Sa-

to learn of actual conditions and

with the ways of the natives and to
become imbued with the knowledge
and understanding that both sides of
the Cascades are part of the same
commonwealth. II is fact, however
humiliating it may be to admit it,,
that there is actually more misunder-

of Oregon and the manifold variety
of its needs.

DOESN'T WANT GAS
AT LEAST NOT OF THE PHILA.

- Now.

Boston, Mass, May 15.-Thomas w.
Lawson has issued a reply to the story
that he had offered through brokers
S20000,000 for 75-year lease of the
Philadelphia gas plants. His reply
follows:
''The story that / bought Philadel-
phia gas is false. l am not behind
the purchase.
Il would like to have been and at
one time thought it possible, but found
there was about the same chance OF
anyone outside the I.system' breaking
into the Pennsylvania preserves of the
system, even with twenty millions in
cash, as there is for a human being to
navigate hell on a wax taper.
I'm my opinion Philadelphia must,
like New York remain asphyxiated,
for a while longer, but If / guess the
signs of the times Alright, it won't be
much longer"
The story denied by Lawson is that
he was behind a syndicate to offer
Philadelphia SO 1-3 per cent of the net
Lrofts for ten years and 50 per cent
Of the profits for the remaining s5
years, if given control of the Philadel-
phia gas plants. Lawson was said 10
