Judge Lindsey, the "kids' jedge" OF

public opinion in behalf OF his method
OF putting young Criminals on their
honor to go alone to the reform school
One day the Denver newspapers, feel.
ing sure Of the judges failure In par.
ticularly doubtful case, sent some re-
porters to write it up and 'get a good
story on the Judge"
What do you think the cops have
told these reporters, BillyT' he said.
They have told them that that fool
judge was going TO trust little Billy B.
to go to the industrial school all by
himself and that they were going to
have the laugh on the judge because
they knew Billy better than the Judge
did. They say they know you'll never
go. and they are saying what q fine
joke 1t will be to have the reporters
write story tomorrow telling how the
judge trusted Billy and Billy threw
the judge down, .ditched his papers and
ran away. And, gee whiz, IL would be
tough If did get thrown down. But
I'm not scared. / believe in you, and
I'm going to trust you. / am going to
give you these your commitment pa

Temptations of Old Age.


But as / go on making these Christ

TO make. We should come to God and
say: 20 God, give me these blessings
If it be thy will. Then. beseech thee.
take away my position of influence as
soon as outlive my influence for good
or when i am to meet temptation
greater than / can bear" When /
make this plea l especially make 1t
against the temptations OF the fortles
and the fifties and the sixties and the
seventies as well as the temptations of
the twenties and the thirties. 1t is
easy enough TO pray for help to guard
against the temptations OF youth. But
who specially prays for help to guard
against the temptations OF middle and
old age? Yet | for one always feel
that the temptations OF middle age and
OF old age are as great as If not greater
than the temptations OF the twenties.
The young man has many restraints
surrounding him which the older man
has not. The young mans finances are
generally low. To go to destruction
stylishly and pay the way of your
friends there costs money. The young
man Is living. as rule, In his ia
Tiers home and is carefully watched
by parents and by elder sisters. He is,
as n rule, looked down upon by the
world at large because he Is young.
But when man becomes a successful
minister or lawyer or merchant then
comes the greatest test OF temptation

Always Ont OF Work.


Have you never noticed how many
men and women there are who seem
to be most OF the time out Of employ
ment? These unfortunates always
seem TO be square pegs trying TO be
fitted to round holes. They work, and
they work bard. They seem to have all
the mental and physical and spiritual
qualifications for positions OF infiu-
ence If they could only find their right
positions. Poor old Samuel Johnscn's
life was battle against adversely.
Edmund Burke's speeches are read by
posterity, but they were spoken to
empty benches when he was alive.
Carlyle had such long, bitter fight
for success In life that when he did
acquire 1t he was an old man, pre-
maturely aged by troubles, with dis
position soured and a nature made
cynical by perpetual vexation. So 1t
Is with these unfortunates whom we
see around us and who are out of their
proper sphere in life. 1t Is all impor-
tant to have the right field of useful
ness open to n man before he can
amount TO much. SO Mt this Christmas
time do not say to God: 20 Father,
give me money! Give me as a Christ

If You Have Dyspepsia Read This.

The old way of taking pepsin, bis
muth, etc, to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put in tablets
or in liquid. the result is just the same.
The object is to create artificial diges
tion, but this does not make a cure.
Stop taking the pepsin, etc., and you
have your dyspepsia or indigestion
back again. People use cocaine or
opium for nervous troubles and sick
headache. 1t does not cure. Stop
taking the drugs and the pain and
distress return. The only Common
Sense Method is to drive out Oh the
system the cause Of dyspepsia and
sick headache by cleansing the stom-
aeh and bowels, at the same time
using medicine that will act on the
liver. This forces through the glands
Of the stomach the digestive fluid that
nature intended. In this way you cure
dyspepsia The medicine that cures
dyspepsia by this method Is called DR.
Gums Improved Liver Pills. Drug
gists sell these pills at 25e per box. II
only takes oae pin for dose.

1 To the Editor: In Friday evening s
| Journal there was a rank attack on
Frank J. Miller, the Republican can
didate for Joint senator, written and
published unquestionably in the inte--
est of his Democratic opponent, DR.. w.
| II. Byrd The letter is written by
or at least signed by J. E. Mccoy, the
old Marion county bridge builder, and
attacks Mr.. Miller as having been sec
retary of the bridge company that
e9ected the old bridge across the vii
! lamette at Salem. which went out in
the high water of 1890. Mccoy says
he is Republican. Be that as it may,
he is a bridge builder, and a dis
gruntled one. He generally has disa-
greements with the county court, and
his speciality is to condemn every other
bridge builder, so it is not strange that
be jumps onto Mr.. Miller. But is not
this lette, written by the Democratic
promoters of Mr.. Byrd s interests, and
simply signed by Mr.. Mccoy, as a han
dy man and willing tooll What does
Mr.. Mccoy actually know about the
matter, except what he has been fur
nished to signl This letter also attacks
Mr.. Miller because while he was a
member of the railroad commission he
refused TO do the bidding of Governor
Pennoyer. What does Mccoy know
about this matter. and at this date
who cares what was done at that time
The writer, in closing, says that he is
going TO support DR.. Byrd not because
he is a Democrat, but because he has
four times been elected school director |
in this Republican district, and be- |
cause he has made good, business
like director. Now, since this man Nc |
Coy attacks Mr.. Miller's record as a /
private citizen. to make votes for DIR. |
Byrd, let us consider the latter's of |
fetal record.
In the first place why has DR.. Byrd !
been a persistent candidate for school
director for the past is yearsl His
friends say the medical practice of the
40 teachers and their families is worth |
hundreds Of dollars year 10 him.
Whether this is tue or not, he mas al.
ways forced himself onto the board
without a salary. 1t will be remem-
bered some years ago he forced his
relative onto the district as city super
intendent. When this estimable person
went out Of the teaching profession
by marriage there was another relative,
the amiable Prof. PEBBLES, put in first
as a principal and later as city super
ntendent. Why he quit is very well
known, but he has retu-ned and is
again principal. and possible eandi-
late for city superintendent. DR..
Byrd has kept his sister employed as
me of the teachers for years, and she
$ no doubt a capable one, but when

il person for city superintendent, he
constantly voted for him, whyf Be
cause if he refused his sister would not Z

HOT SHOT FROM
MILLER'S FRIENDS
Dr.. Byrd's Record Shown up
and Wi11 not Bear
Inspection

I have the unanimous vote Of the board,
and could NOT lawfully hold her place.
Were these acts business-hke3 Were
they the acts of disinterested eiti-
zenl
When it came to the question of a
| high school, DR.. Byrd was elected by
the votes of persons who opposed that
extravagant measure. but when it came
to building the high school did the
economical Doctor try to save the dis
triet some money, or did he stand for
the rankest extravagances proposed
Let us see. DR.. Byrd refused to have
competition in architects. and also de-
elined to make a contract with the ia
vorite architect. who was selected to
do the work, but very freely consented
TO paving Mr.. Pugh about S2500 for his
services. DIR. Byrd refused to consider
the use Of Salem pressed brick for
the building. but when the specifca-
tions came from the favorite architect
they called for Newberg pressed brick.
These were found to be too expensive,
but. rather than give up his favorite
brick. it was decided to take Newberg
eulls at about double the cost of f1st-
business-likei DR.. Byrd is now build
ing new residence, and he is also
using Newberg pressed brick Are
they culls, tool NJ. Pugh also has
charge of the plans and superinten6
ence of the new residence, but nobody
will think for a minute that DR.. Byrd
is so unbusiness-like as to employ him
without first knowing what it will
cost.
DR.. Byrd last year joined in an act
which was universally condemned,
that of dismissing three teachers at
star ehamber meeting Of the board.
without cause, and was later forced to
reinstate two of them. This year he
is running for senator, and it might
prove ineonvenient to elect teachers be-
fore the 4th of June. so he voted TO de-
fer the election until after the 18th.
This is an outrage, as the teachers are
elected elsewhere earlier, and this
leaves Salem simply the remaining
teachers TO select from. Many points
simply uses his position as school diree-
tor in his own personal interest all the
time. AS for the ancient history re-
cited by ]. E. Mccoy and j. NJ. Brown.
nobody cares anything about it. Be
sides Mccoy and Brown are not Re-
publicans. but publish this stuff in the
interest of a Democrat. The facts cit
ed above can be eorroborated by the
records of the school board. and are
patent to everybody. NJ Byrd was
elected as an economist, yet, while the
estimates for the new school building
we're about $4,000. it is now coming
much nearer 10 100000. If that is the
Kind of economy he is going to prac-
ice in the state senate. God pity the
