Congressman Shackleford de.
livered singing speech in the
House last Monday against the
bossism of the Speaker and the
vast power with which the rules
clothe that functionary. Mr.. Shack
elford declared that there is not a
monarch in Europe who reigns
with such absolutism." and char.
acterized Speaker Cannon as the
most dangerous type of political
boss and as the absolute despot
over the deliberations of the House.
Mr.. Speaker" he said, there is
not member from any district in
this Union who can, on behalf 81
his people, secure the floor to ask
that a bill be considered unless he
first secure your gracious consent. -
Mr.. Shackelford' S arraignmeut of
the bossism and despotic power of
the Speaker, which Speaker Can
non has never failed to use to the
utmost in a partisan way, is not too
severe. Under them, as he says,
the American people no longer
have representative government. +"
In recent elections the people have
spoken in no uncertain way against
political bossism in their States,
districts and cities, but such local
bossism is child's play compared

amendments to the statehood bill,
all bearing on the manner Of cou-
ducrjug elections in the proposed
new States. The bill as framed
places everything, the election

Stone wants at least one Democrat

Indications are that the peOple
are becoming intensely interested
in public affairs and are going to
take a big hand in politics this
year. Especially is this true among
Democrats. A new Congress is to
be elected, and there are favorable
signs that the political complexion
of the next House of Representa-
tives will undergo radical change.
The factional split between the
President and the ablest leaders Of
the Republican party in the Senate,
the general failure of Congress to
meet public expectation, and the
awakened sentiment against po-
litical bossism and public graft,
are calculated to bring about a
much-needed reform in public af.
fairs. If Democrats everywhere
will get together and take advan.
tage of the situation, there is sure
to be tidal wave in their di.
rectlon.

the balance by raising the assess

out of a seasons work: We do not

much profit results after all labor is in

0ver.Burdened Women.

Many a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow In too quick
succession to allow the nSther time TO
recuperate. The womanly organs become
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest
she needs lest meal will be late. No
wonder she is pale, weak, wrctched, surly
Of temper and Snappish of tongue. She
would be false to nature If she were any
thing else. No persons need help so much
as the class of whom this woman is the
type. And for such women no help is so
sure, so wonderful, as that given by DR..
Plerce's Favorite Prescription. 1t re-
stores all the womanly organs to perfect
health. 1t establishes regularity in their

The Port of Portland com mission
last Friday decided unanimously to
grant the application of the Portland
and Seattle railroad company for a
franchise to build a railroad bridge
across the Willamette river just be-
low the present outskirts of the city of
Portland, providing the railroad
company will guarantee to observe
certain regulations for the protection
of the commerce of the city. The
bridge will be of the swing draw pat

Think of the exposed circle Of
friends and relatives surrounding each
of these 800 people who succumbed to
the great white plague each year in
Oregonl
The possibilities for peril are
alarming. And then, on the other
hand, listen to the reports from New
York, showing that at the health re-
sorts, especially those designed for
tuberculosis in the Adirondacks and
other mountain ranges, over 20 per
cent of the consumptives received at
those resorts in the first and second
stages of the disease, are already
wholly cured
The outdoor cure, the nature rem

water and pure food treatment is con-

Suppose Oregon should utilize her
mountain resorts, her mineral springs,
her healthful high attitudes in the

the same percentage that is saved in
New York, or 20 per cent.
This degree of success in Oregon
would mean the saving of 20 per cent
of 500 lives, or $50 human beings now
needlessly sacrificed to carelessness
and negligence each yearl No other
section of Oregon offers such excellent
inducements for sanitariums as Una
tilla county, where nature has planted
her mineral springs and lifted her
towering mountains and invigorated
the air with selfhealing vitality and
elixir for which the wasting lungs
of the sufferers thirst and perish.
This one branch of human industry
alone should make Umatilla county
worldfamous, if developed to its logic
al conclusion. The excellent mineral
springs and accessible mountains
places this county at the lead of the
state in this line of resources.
At $4,000 each, the legal valuation,
how much are these $50 lives worth
to the state? And to think that they
are needlessly wasted each year

There is a move on foot to force the
officers of three New York insurance
companies to pay back to the policy
holders $l50,0O0 which they have
testified before the investigating COM
mittee of the legislature that they had
donated to the republican national
committee. They had no authority to
thus misuse trust funds and an effort
will be made to show that the officers
who paid out the money are individu-
ally liable. 1t was rascally proceed
ing and the false trustees of other
peoples money should be made to
suffer.

The Armours deny that they
poison the public mind'. How
ever, it is now incumbent upon them
to show that they have not poisoned
their meat by using preservatives.
In other words, it was our bodies
rather than our minds that these
famous packers were supposed to have
designs against.

One objection to the direct primary
law is that it puts the minority party
''on the blink with respect to timber.
The democrats are very apt to enter
the county campaign with several
blank places on their ticket. This
would not have happened in days of
nominating elections. When chosen
in open convention by authorized
representatives of his party a man
considered it a matter of pride and
duty to respect their wishes. 1t is
different now.-Weston Leader.

ATHENA. MARCH. =. 20, 1906

The principal defense urged in their
own defense by the Chicago packers,
now on trial in the federal court, is
based upon the claim that they them
selves furnished the government with
all its evidence against them, which
was brought out by the investigation
Of Commissioner Garfield, of the
bureau of commerce and labor. This is
very queer legal proceeding and SO
far as we know is entirely unprece-
dented. At this distance it looks like
trying to use plea of guilty to act as
plea in abatement. The packers ask
immunity from punishment on the
ground that though they violated the
law they told on themselves.

NOT FOR HoUaER.
Pilot Rock Record.

The Record has all along contended
that the best men in this county were
none too good to serve the people in
the state legislature. Those, however,
who would probably make good repre-
sentatives and could do some good for
their state as we'll as the county hon
oring them with such an election
seems to be satisfied with nothing less
than seat in the United States SEN
ate. the governoIship, members of the
supreme court or congressman. The
Record would insist upon the election
of no man to the United States senate
who had not first served his state in
the Legislature and proved his ability
as law maker. There is need of in-
telligence in our state legislature.
Why is it that we cannot elect men of
average intelligence to the legislature?
Why is it that only damnphools ap-
pear to be available material? Think
of 70 Houser asa lawmaker? Would
it not be disgrace to this county to
elect such man to Legislative body
Is there no better material in this
county?
1t seems to the Record that halt
ought to be called on electing men to
the legislature who cannot read and
write the English language. The
Record cannot indorse such men for
legislative honors, no matter to what
party they belong.
II defeated for the legislature we
expect to see Mr.. Houser appointed
scab inspector.
The Record cannot indorse Houser
and will not do SO.

If we are to believe the theories
and teachings of socialism, socialists
evidently made great mistake when
they cast nearly half million votes
for Eugene V. Debs as their candidate
for president of the United States.
His recent anarchistic Ianting in the
Appeal to Reason, in regard to the
Steunenberg assassination, places him
in the van with such men as Johann
Most and other writers of anarchy
fame. Debs has shown his hand and
the public guages him accordingly.
