Miss Lula M. Mctzgcr, n stcnographcr,
living Mt 71 Mill street, watertown, N. ".
suffered for over q year from general
debility. "It was caused by overstudy,"
she says, "nnd had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my food didn't
taste good, was run down, lifeless and
listless. took medicines but they failed
to help me. Finally friends recon.

mother and she got some for me. l took
them for some time and wns entirely
cured and have had no return of the
trouble"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red,
rich blood, and rs the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves rs well ns muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure dc.
bility but many severe nervous disorders
as well.
The pills are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price,

qualifications aud made I'D ones

qualifications and made up ones
mind as 10 which candidate
more nearly fills this test, the
! rest is easy. Looking at it from
this standpoint, with all due re-
spect and kindness to other
candidates, a large republican
clientage in Yamhill county is
of the opinion that Mr.. S. r.
Huston, OF Hillsborough, is the
candidate that ought to be nomi-
mated. Mr.. Huston is in the
very prime of life. is very
strong man, both mentally and
physically, one of the best law
yers in the state, and man OF
unquestionable personal integ-
rity.
He has lived in our neighbor-
ing county OF Washington for
about twenty-three years, and
as lawyer, it is a maxim in
that county that he will advise
a client exactly as he believes the
law to be. He has had a large
practice at the bar for many
years, and is in comfortable
circumstances fnan >ially.
He came from a good family,
and is the son of a man who gave
up his lite in the defense of his
country. He is a man of pleas
ing personality and makes lots
of friends, and those who know
him best can see no reason why
he could not make at least as
good a congressman as the late. d.
Thomas H. Tongue. It is
believed that the republicans of
Yamhill county will give him
a united support.

pr0vement. lt is the habit OF
most people to stand back and
point to the neighbor's back
yards, and thus overlook their
own, and until this habit is bro
ken there is little hope of better
ment.
Let everyone forget for a time
that there. is any yard in town
but his own and then make Wig
orous onslaught with rake, hay,
scythe and shovel and put that
yard in ship-shape order. Nail
the pickets on the fence, tear
down every unsightly pen, fence
or building on the premises.
trim and spray the trees, pile and
burn the debris of whatever des-5
cription; u-e little paint here
and there, trim the hedge and
shrubbery-in short do things as
neatly and completely in your
own yard as you think Brown or.
Jones should do in his. Get at it
now; don't wait for some one
else to start in. If you are not
as much of a man, as proud a
citizen or as responsible an in
dividual as is Brown or Jones,
you had better move out and
make room for some one who is.
Why not make a day of it, as
has been wisely suggested, and
turn the old town inside out and
upside down? Let the Citizens
League and Village Improve
ment Society join hands, tell the.
whole town when it is to be, and
with the ladies fitted out with
calico dresses, sun-bonnets and
rakes, and the masculine element
logged out in Jeans and armed
with other necessary parapher-
malta, let the good work be done
once and for all, and done well.
Do the people really want a.
clean, healthful and beautiful
home town? or is it all ''hot
air?" If they are in earnest,
let the various church societies
and lodges fall in line, and on
this proposed house-cleaning day
prepare a dinner at the opera
house or elsewhere, where the
hungry may be fed while they
are engaged in this work. Let
everybody, great and small, help;
and one day will bring such a
change in Corvallis that the
hopes of even the most loyal cit
izen will be more than realized.

social event that will never be

profit to one and all.

is the day of salvation" Why

A FADING DREAM.

The Oregon democrats have
held a convention, adopted a
platform and nominated a astate
and congressional ticket, True
they speak of their convention as
"a mass meeting" their platform
as resolutions" and their ticket
as an invitation" to certain men
to become candidates. There
was no purpose in this to cir
cumvent the operation of the
direct primary law-of course
not.
Oregon is a republican state
and if the democrats secure any
of the state officers or either of
the congressman they cannot do
so through violation of the pri-
mary law, and there looms in the
democratic horizon the possibility
Of democratic United States
Senator through the operation of
tha5 law.
We have often shown how con-
sistently inconsistent the. demo-
cratic party is. There has been
long. loud and almost unanimous
howl in the democratic camp for
the sanctity Of the primary law.
Special emphasis has been laid
On the benefits which would ac-
crue to the people-the dear,
wronged, much abused and boss
ridden people if statement No. l
were insisted upon.
Suppose a democrat mi ght re-
celve a plurality of the votes cast
at the primary election for U. S.
senator; every member of the
legislature who had given pledge
No. 1 must vote for this "choice
OF the people," even though he
were nominated by a minority.
It was a promising scheme. 1t
brought the choice of senator
easily within democratic posi-
bilities. We use the past tense
alvisedly; it was a promising
scheme. Just now it is a fad
ing dream.
The democratic leaders do not
see much promise of success in
it, for it has dawned upon them
that Oregon is a republican state,
that beyond doubt the next leg
islature will be republican, and
that republican members of that
legislature will do just as the
democratic members will do =
man who is of their
own party.
But we may credit those
leaders of democracy, or some
of them at least, with being
enough astute to see that pledge
No. l is meaningless anomaly
to a member of the legislature
who must qualify by taking an
path to support the constitution
Of the United States.
Indications are not lacking
that before the meeting of the
next legislature every one will
zee the utter fallacy and immor-
ality of pledge No. l and the
will elect a senator as
contemplated and provided by
he constitution of the United
states. This method of election
