GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.

senator Newlands of Nevada yes
terday openly announced in the SEN
ate that he was in favor of the gov
ernment ownership of railroads, and
advocated an amendment to the rail-
road rate bill authorizing the national
Incorporation of railroads.
This breaks the ice in the pluto
cratic senate. This is voice of the
people crying out against the monster
monopoly of the railway trust, and
from this small pebble dropped into
the water of senatorial discussion
will spread the overwhelming waves
of popular sentiment until the nation
aliZation of the railroads will have
been accomplished.
1t would be simple for the govern
ment to build a, transcontinental line
of railroad for the people. 1t has
already built two or three lines for
the corporations.
a government system operated at
small profit, say four or six per cent
on the Investment would reduce rail-
road rates and take away the keen
edge of the railroad monopoly.
This reform comes slowly. because
of the immense opposition from the
trusts. Government operation and
ownership of railroads would lead to
government operation of the coal
mines in the interests of the people.
and later government operation of the
oil wells in the interest of the people,
and later operation of the steamship
and cable and telegraph and tele-
phone lines for the good of the pub
lie, so when you stick a pin into the
railroad monopoly, all the other
monopolies in the country jump to
their feet and begin fighting for their
rights
Government ownership will be the
next great national issue. William r.
Hearst has already sounded the
clarion call of this campaign issue.
If Hearst or Roosevelt will take a
stand upon this great platform in the
next presidential election. he will
sweep the country. The action of the
'plutocratic senate on the railroad rate
bill and the opposition to the presi-
dents rate regulation, have multi
piled the government ownership ad-
vocates tenfold
Government ownership is the only
means of escape from the trust

STATE TREASURER GRAFT.

1t is remarkable to note the anxiety
of candidates for the office of
state treasurer to make it clear that
they are willing to distribute state
funds to banks in counties where
state moneys originate, rather than
concentrate the state funds in some
favorite bank, from which the state
treasurer may grow fat
This state treasurer's office has
been used to more corrupt purposes
than any other state office. in the
past. State. funds have been used by
the treasurers for their own private
benefit and profit. without discrimin-
alton, and this is late day for the
spasm of decency to strike the politi-
cal party and ring which has con-
trolled this office for years.
The power of the country press,
which has demanded that this corrupt
practice cease, is responsible for the
change Of sentiment among candi-
dates. The East Oregonian hopes to
see the state treasurers' graft stopped
by the just Indignation Of the people.
The state should enjoy any bene-
fits coming from the use of state
funds. This office has fattened
enough officials.

POOR OLD DEPEW.

No one can consider the present at
titude of Senator Chauncey NJ. De-
pew without feeling a sensation of
pity for the foolish old man, says the
Memphis News-Scimitar.
He is said to be living hermit on
a country estate, where only a few
of his most intimate friends are per-
mitted TO see him.
The revelations made by the news
papers and magazines were such that
even young man in the glory of
buoyancy and superior strength could
hope to survive them. To an old
man, whose recuperative powers are
about exhausted and who is without
resiliency or the power TO rebound.

LONGWORTH AND LONGFELLOW

1t was shortly before his marriage
to Alice Roosevelt that Congressman
Longworth was quite Unexpectedly
presented, at a large reception, to
Samuel Longfellow, a brother of the
poet. Now Longworth, be 1t remem-
bered, is nothing If not modest man,
and he was just then in somewhat a
ratified condition because of all the
notoriety showered upon him by a
gratuitous daily press.
He did not know what to say, and
so he said only:
"Our names are almost similar,
aren't they?"
Mr.. Longfellow smiled kindly.
YES" he quickly quoted; "'worth

REMEMBRANCE.

A little song that once she sang to me,
A simple ballad all devoid of art,
Hath by some subtle spell of IMAGERY
Rang sweet thro' all these years
within my heart.
The scenet of honeysuckles ripe with
June,
A red-breast robins matin to his
mate,
Seems pregnant with the quavers Of
a tune
My heart still holds, sweet after
math of Fate.

Arise from Recollection's wer-kept
grave
The little song that once she sang
to me.

The very common belief in regular

Surely If social prosperity were a

Anyone can notice the rapid exten-
sion of the use of gasoline power at
the state fair. Pumping engines are
throwing water, threshers are run
ming, machinery of all kinds is hum
ming, all driven by Rockefeller ex-
tracts from crude petroleum. Great
motor cars are bobbing about in mud
or dust, driven by the stuff, that
was only used formerly to clean coat
collars. Decisions of courts are go
ing to prevent taking water from one
section of state to water another.
Gasoline engines will irrigate lands

rich all. Gasoline will be the king

rives. That will drive out crude oil
and its products entirely, and the

Oregon manufacturers should have
been made more prominent at the
state fair. There are few in compar-
lson to the manufacturer from other
states. Made in Oregon exhibits
should have had the whole pavilion,
along with the country exhibits.
Next to the live stock and the farm
products, the made-in-Oregon pro-
ducts should have had the greatest
space. The fair board exhausted
itself in rehabilating the grounds,
the buildings and have a great fair,
and, with better organization in the
future, will make the Oregon manu-
facturer more prominent. Made-in-
Oregon goods are the keynote of sue
cessful development of this state.

Cure for Sick-Headache.

We had a letter the other day
from a lady in the town of Boulder
Colo, that should be of interest to
people who are troubled with spells
of sick headache. She writes that
she had these spells about four times
a week, was obliged to go to bed and
remain there from to 10 hours
each time. Had been troubled this
way for several years, and the at
tacks became more frequent. Doc
tors done her no good, she tried
dieting, as every body said it was
from her stomach. Seeing an adver-
tisement of DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills, which said, they cure
sick headache by removing the
cause, she decided to try one more,
and sent so cents for two boxes. She
said she had taken the last pill more
than 4 months ago, has not had a
sick spell of any kind for over 5
months. Druggists sells these pills
for Zoe per box. 1t only takes one
for a dose, they cure sick headache
every time.
