That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valua BILE

by scores Of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-

A SALOON MANS PARADISE.
Boston Journal.

Watching John B. Moran, as he
leads and eliminates the Prohibition
ticket, let us not forget to pay due
tribute to the work against the demon
rum now being carried on in his own
inimitable manner by the mayor of
Boston.
He removed William mcclellan
from the saloon business in East Bos-
ton and made him president of the
Democratic city committee, without
power.
He induced James Fl. Doyle to retire
from the wholesale and retail liquor
business in Roxbury and planted him
in the office of superintendent Of
streets.
Hunting for the most competent
candidates for superintendent for
public school buildings, he discovered
James f. Nolan, and the latter was
required to become retired liquor
dealer.
There was need of third and true
foreman for the sanitary departments
Roxbury district. The right man was
found in Thomas Tirrell, one of the
most popular bartenders in Boston.
Requiring the services Of a special
and personal legislative agent on Bea-
con Hill, Frank J.Doherty, bartender.
of Charleston, was the diplomat
naturally selected.
Garret w. Scollard, city collector,
was doing his level best but he lacked
the right kind of help. Hence be is to
be braced and encouraged by Deputy
Collector John L. Donovan, peculiarly
expert in the preparation of mixed
drinks.
For years it was felt that the de-
partment of weights aud measures
was lacking in technical knowledge of
barrels and glasses. When the ap-
pointment of new deputies was made,
Manasseh E. Bradley and James J.
Sweeney were chosen as qualified ex-
perts.
And now, determined to reform the
board of health and put new spirit in
to its movements, the Mayor has
summoned Micheal w. Norris, liquor
dealer of South Boston to the rescue.
aud has commanded him to sit on the
right of Samuel H. Durgin, NJ. D., and
chairman.
Give the Mayor time and money
enough, and there will be neither
liquor dealers nor bartenders in Bos-
ton, aud the consumers will be
Obliged. to devote their income in
taxes.

seems to be plenty of idle men, but
most Of them refuse to work for a
reasonable wage and are demanding as
much as So per day for driving header

an exaggeration: Farmer timidly ap-
proaches man sitting on dry goods

WHEN DEMOCRACY WILL DIE.

The following. appears in the Con
gressional Record:
Mr.. Gains of Tennessee. Mr.. Speak
er, know that what shall read the
republicans will enjoy, because it ii
entitled "When Democracy will die. y
In reply to the repeated republican
assertion that the democratic party is
! dead, l will say that heard in the
house last night funeral oration over
the democratic party by the Reverend
Doctor Cushman that brings a poem
to mind. The old Hickory democrat
has put into verse the following con-
ditions under which and the time
when Democracy will die.
When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fishworm swallows the whale
When the terrapin knits woolen socks
When the hare is outrun by the snail /;
When the serpent walks upright like
men,
And the doodle bugs travel like frogs
When the grasshoppers feeds on the
hen,
And feathers are found ON the hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost upon trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze !;
When the fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When foxes lay eggs on the sand.
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink
beer,
And girls get to preaching on time;
When the billy goat butts from the
rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming bird brays like an
ASS,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When plowshares are made out of
grass,
And hearts of Tennesseans are stone !;
When sense grows in republican heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be
dead,
And this country not worth d--n.
Loud applause.
Mr. Olmsted. Mr.. Speaker, ask
unanimous consent that the gentleman
from Tennessee may be permitted to
extend his remarks in the Recorder.

and its passing disorders as we'll.
Without going SO far, wo may admit
that the physical and mental parts of
man exist in wonderful concord,
sharing good and Ill without reserve.
Remorse, or guilty conscience, soon
wears down the strongest frame; but
perhaps there is no passion which SO
quickly saps the vital forces as
cowardice, nor is there any which SO
hardly escapes contempt. The world
requires that one who has had the
courage to break the law should chow
equal fortltude in facing the conse-
quences. Or, if he is falsely accused,
his manhood ought not to blench in
the crisis when he must assert and
defend his innocence. A guilty man
who puts on brave front at his trial
fails not to win some reluctant respect
from his brothers who have been less
sorely tempted, while a criminal of
capital guilt who should forget to die
game would shock all the convention
alities of his ceiling and violate
great tradition.
Crime may be forgiven, but not
the cowardice which weakens and
sickens over the fear of punishment.
Defiant sin extorts its need of admira-
tion even from the messengers of social
revenge; honest penitence wins respect
if it inclines toward restitution; but
the craven fear which covers and
falls sick at the judgment bar is
despised by gods and men.

OlCHOuAuus
One need not conclude that the ill
ness which seems epidemic among the
defeDdents in the land-fraud cases is
wholly simulated. In varying degrees,
according to the characters of the pa
tients, it is probably fictitious, but it
must not be forgotten that mind
diseased may react disastrously upon
the body, just as MUD hale and
cheerful makes it vigorous. 1t is a
common saying that worry depletes
the physical powers more rapidly than
work. Shame and sorrow kill as
quickly as fever. Kings who lost heir
thrones were proverbially shortlived
i'll the tales of old wars, and the
heroes of tragedy die without delay
when shorn of their greatness in the
fifth act.
Some say that the body is but the
outward semblance of the mind,
shadowing vaguely both those inner
realities which are of eternal duration

Sixteen thousand bushels of wheat
was sold by one man in Pendleton on
the first market quotation for the new
crop. The grain was contracted for
5S cents. There are those who sell
regularly at the opening price each
year. They point to precedent where
in they have from year to year aver
aged mp satisfactorily with Others who
hold their wheat and gamble" that
the price will reach a higher mark.
Looking at both sides of the question,
it resolves itself in the proposition of
judgment and circumstances. II a
man is working on his own capital,
owes no one, and is willing to risk the
amount of interest tied up in the val
uation of his crop in speculating ON
the price Of wheat, then he can afford
to back up his Judgments the
man who owes the grocer the black
smith, the butcher, the implement
dealer, aud Il host of others; eau he
afford to be speculator when he can
get 5S cents per bushel?

ATHENA, ORE, JULY. 81, 1906

After all, it would seem that Red
chaf and Club and Bluestem wheat
are the three standard varieties best
adapted to the soil of Umatilla
county. Farmers may go on expert
menting with the new varieties that
come and go, but they generally come
to know there are hut three varieties
that can be depended on year after
year. Forty-fold is the new variety
that is not giving satisfaction this
year, though in the past, reports of
large yields have been made. This
season, to start with, has been one of
adversely in the ripening of grain.
The stalk was rank and sap laden
when the hot weather came, and the
process Of ripening was necessarily
rapid. The result was that all va
rieties of grain had a tendency to shat
ter badly each time a stiff wind
struck, but the heaviest loss from this
source comes to the farmer who had
some Forty-fold wheat. One instance
Is mentioned in the new columns of
today's Press, where field Of Forty
fold wheat gave indication of yielding
at least 40 bushels per acre, shattered
so badly, that the owner realized but
Z sacks to the acre. 1t is unnecessary
to say that Forty fold wheat will
pever find root in his fields again.

From United States Senator down,
nearly all ranks of official and pro-
fessional men have been implicated
in Oregon's rich and colossal graft
land fraud operations. Heney, with
his dragnet, has at last landed an
editor. Charles Nickel, the old
time editor of the Jacksonville Times,
is the offender who represents the
