Is Disease a Crime I!

Not very long ago. a popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, In substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain 1t is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering OF mankind is due TO the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But TO say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the DOOR,
weak, ovcr-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load Of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing Of children, with its ex-
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care. worry and labor OF rearing a
large family. Is often the cause of weak
nesses. arrangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares,
and the hard. and never-ending work which
the mother Is called upon to perform. DR..
Pierce the maker OF that world-famed rem
edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and
ills-Dr Pierces Fayorite Prescription-says
that one OF the greatest obstacles to the cure
OF this class OF malades is the fact that the
poor. over~wOrked housewife can not get the
needed rest from her many household cares
and labor to enable her to secure from the
use OF his Prescription its full benefits. 10
is a matter Of frequent experience. he says,
In his extensive practice In these cases, to
meet with those in which his treatment fails
by reason of the patients inability to abstain
from hard work long enough to be cured
With those suffering from prolapsus, ante
version and retroversi0n of the uterus or
other displacement Of the womanly organs,
1t Is very necessary that. in addition TO TAX
ing his rFavorite Prescription they abstain
from being very much, or for long periods. on
their feet. All heavy lifting or straining Of
any kind should also be avoided AS much
outdoor air as possible, with moderate. light
exercise is also very important Let the
patient observe these rules and the cFavor-
Prescription will do the rest.

ATHENA, MAY %. 900. 1906

The Oregon Primary Law is being
watched closely throughout the
country, and nowhere more closely
and intelligently than in neighboring
states, particularly Washington. The
Tacoma Ledger says: "The success
of Oregon's new primary election law,
as shown by the practical tests afford
cd iu the recent election, has convert
cd many skeptios. The candidates in
Oregon nominated are believed in
every way to be worthy of public CON
fidence, and free from any suggestion
of machine or boss control. With
the example of Oregon before them,
the people of Washington will GER
tainly demand similar law from next
years legislature i'll this state. The
demand for primary election law in
this state which will place the nom
ination as we'll as the election of pub
lie officers in the hands of the voters
is becoming more and more insistent
as the matter is better understood
throughout the commonwealth. " And
the Tacoma News remarks: "Oregon
seems disposed to picture the worst
side of her direct primary law, but of
course the politicians are doing most
of the talking, being hurt the worst
by it. The direct primary is the So
luton of many American ills and the
voters are realizing it. The movement
is gaining great strength in Washing
ton, and it will not be great while
uutil it becomes irresistible here

Speaking of Governor mberlain
the Elgin Recorder says: "The peo-
pie have not forgotten the good work
of Governor Chamberlain when he
blocked the attempt of republican
legislature to saddle upon the tax
payers million dollar appropriation
bill. Neither have they forgotten the
record of the old school land ring un-
der former administrations aud the sud-
deness with which ho straightented
matters out. This is the kind of a
man the present Governor of Oregon
is, aud no fair minded or conservative
man should want to change him for one
that they know not Of II Oregon
had Il maohine.ruled governor in

legislature not one measure of vicious
legislature would have been curbed.

lican legislature what the governors
are to steam engine--it keeps it from

HAS A PRESS AGENT
New York Times.

N6W IOTk Lllu6b.
After long years, the Standard Oil
company has now full -fedged press
agent, in the person of j. l. G. Clark,
whose duty it will be to act as the
Standard Oil am mbassador to the pub
lie. President Roosevelt's message
to congress, accompanying the Gar
field report, has stirred up a situation
which is likely to keep the press agent
busy Tor some time to come.
Wall street has been so long ac-
customed to the spirit of mystery sur
rounding Standard Oil that it takes
the idea of the company employing a
press agent as highly incongruous. 1t
has not been commonly believed that
the magnates of 26 Broadway, when
they gathered around the long table
ere they hold their morning con-
ferences, have been accustomed to
give much thought to the attitude the
public might take toward the result of
their deliberations.
Perhaps, being accustomed to look
upon the public from the Standard
Oil buildings, the persons below as
sumed in the eyes of that corporation
the appearance of pigmies whose
thoughts on any subject connected
with the Standard Oil affairs might
we'll be ignored.
But things are no longer as they
were. The Standard Oil company is
now trying hard to be the only one
among hundreds of other corporations,
and has its press ageut like the rest
of them.

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM

Topeka, May A. Following are the
resolutions adopted by the Republi-
can state convention:
The Republican party in state con-
vention assembled reaffirms its pride
in the history and achievements of the
national organization and adherence
to its principles. The wisdom of it's
financial policy so fiercely antagon-
lied is now universally conceded, while
its protective policy provokes con-
troversy only between revisionists and
stand patterS.
Under the magic of these wise
policies, the country has vaulted to
the front rank among the nations in
finance, manufactures, material de-
velopment and general prosperity,
while it's wage-earners find remunera-
ton twice as great as under any other
flag.
THE vigorous, able and wise admin
istration of President Roosevelt COM
mands our enthusiastic approval as it
has won the paudits of our country
men, regardless of party.
I'VE indorse the recent state admin
istration and commend its splendid
achievements to the favorable consid-
Grafton of every patriotic citizen of the
state.
"The great calamity which befell
San Francisco and its sister cities on
the Pacific coast touched the ligature
of sympathy which binds all humanity
together and we are proud that Kan
sas was among the first to respond to
this patriotic call upon our common
humanity, and that the response has
been in harmony with the great heart
and abundant resources of this state.
Work of Last Legislature.
we believe that platform promises
are as sacred as business contracts,
and should be as faithfully fulfilled,
and we point with pardonable pride to
the redemption of the numerous prom
ises made in our last state platform.
Among the many wise enactments of
the last legislature we call especial
attention to the adoption of an i'm
nroyed plan for the management of
our state charitable institutions, the
selection of board devoting its whole
time to the care of these sacred insti-
buttons, with ample headquarters in
the state house, a plan which is re
sulting in an improved condition of all
these institutions and a large saving
of expenses; to the new state printing
law, which within a year has resulted
in the erection of large three-story,
fire.proof printing house. with modern
equipment, the cost of all of which has
been saved in two years; to the juv-
emile court law which is saving count
less boys from prison brands; to the
state depository law, from which the
state is realizing more than $1,000 per
month upon its state deposits; to the
fish and game law. which has placed
Kansas beside the most advanced
state in the protection of game and in
the propagation Of fish.
Railroad Legislation.

first railroad law in Kansas. II has

WORK OF NEW YORK JURY
AGAINST REsATERs.
RAILROADS and INDIVIDUALS.
Evidence Presented Related Mainly
to Shipments Of Sugar From Var.
ious Reflneries in Eastern LOCAL..
ties to Western Markets.

New York, May 1.-THE April fed
eral grand jury in concluding its lab
ors handed down seven sealed indict-
ments in the sugar rebating cases.
The indictments are against the fol-
lowing:
TIE New York Central railroad; the
American Sugar Refining Company;
the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad Company and Nathan
Guilford, vice president of the com
pany; the American Sugar Refining
Company of New York and c. Goodlee
Edgar and Edwin Earle, the latter two
being wholesale sugar dealers of De-
troit, Mich.
The New York Central G. Hudson
River Railroad Company and Nathan
Guilford, vice president. and F. L..
Pomeroy, general traffic manager.
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany and the American Sugar Refining
Comp any of New York, and c. Good
lee Edgar and Edwin Earle.
Nathan Guilford, F. l.. Pomeroy, C..
Goodlee Edgar and Edwin Earle.
The first six indictemnts were found
under the "Elkins antitrust law"
which provides penalties of fine not
exceeding $4,000, or Imprisonment
not exceeding two years, for giving,
granting, applying for, or accepting
any rebate or concession from the
regular freight rates, as published by
railway company as a common car.
rier.
The seventh indictment found
against Guilford, Pomeroy, Edgar and
Earle, charges them with having col
lectively conspired to violate the pro-
vision of the Elkins antitrust law.
These are the first indictments for
an alleged violation of the antitrust
law found in this district. Sixteen
sessions of the April grand jury were
devoted exclusively to the consider
alton of these cases, but it Is evident
from the presentment which the jury
handed in with the indictments that
1t deems the situation but hurriedly
canvassed.
1t recommends that the investiga-
ton be continued by its successor,
intimating that indications point to
the possibility that other common car
riers may be equally culpable with the
indicted roads.
