NOT pATERNALIsM

The government should not at
tempt to exercise paternal control
over private business. That is not
it, That is the cry that those make
who are opposed to government SUI

the old sense as we understand 1t.
1t is simply this: Who is to rule?

ever given in that hall. Nearly every
seat was occupied and every number
on the program was heartily applaud

JUDGE ELLIS IN EGYPT.
Name of Oregon Congressman Regis

the Pyramids.

Prof. j. B. Horner, teacher of Latin
and history in oregon Agricultural
college, who has toured Egypt dur
ing the past summer, writes for the
Oregon Sunday Journal an interesting
article on the pyramids and mummies
of Egypt.
Prof. Horner joined the Hundred
Year club i'm Egypt, and with his own
name. he registered the names of n
number of oregon friends, among
which was that of Congressman-elect
w. r. Ellis, of this city.
In the sunday Journal of October
Il. Prof. Horner tells of the expert
ence with the Hundred Year club as
follows:
The ancient Egyptians made good
mummies. But what is the advantage
of being a mummy? Better be a
mosshack in Oregon than a mummy
in Egypt. When l looked into the
face of the old king said to myself
that | would much rather be good
active member of the Hundred Year
club in Oregon than mummy in
Egypt for so centuries. And the land
of the Rameses being the original
home of the Hundred Year club, |
joined that distinguished body and
registered along with my name the
names of several of my oregon
friends, among whom were the fol-
lowing:

COMMISSIONER HOFf DISCUSSES STRIKES

o. P. Hoff, state commissioner of
labor, has given out the following
as covering his views on the subject
of strikes and lockouts While the
views expressed are the personal ones
of the commissioner, yet he gives the
situation practically as it exists. He
says:
Strikes and lockouts are unsolved
problems dealing with trouble that
1t will take a change of human nature
to remove. My observation of strikes
Is that the ability of one side to pay
higher wages or on the other to live
on less is not the question. The prob
lem is just this: How little they will
work for or how much will he pay.
This is the business idea of the time,
and why blame either side far. Fur
thermore, where are the men that
have quit their business on account
of raise in wages or where is the
grave of the man that has starved
because working for less?
If wages are higher, so are COM
h'NN'N's lilaN Nllt WI llluSl uuN.
Great demund for labor, which means
prosperous times, runs the prices UP,
and the endless chain of commerce
and industry brings out one fact: The
toiler, the man that produces some-
thing, pays the bill.
Very seldom do we hear of any
corporations or men voluntarily CIV
ing up any profits, unless expecting
to have the change forced on them
inside short time. The q. < c.
railway through the Willamette val
lev, when labor of all kinds was much
cheaper than now, 81 years ago,
charged 8 cents per mile, and at that
time the writer paid so cents to ride
from Eugene to Irving, distance OF
5.6 miles, or nearly cents per mile.
This was not charged because the
company would have to go out OF
business if the added 4 cents per mile
for that short distance was not col
lected, but simply because they could
do so. 1t needs no argument to show
that the reason we now can travel

gOnian.

A weak stomach and its resulting
ills are not natural. With proper care
and the use of Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's, the very worst case of indiges-
ton or stomach trouble can be COM
pletely cured.
1t is a sin to deprive oneself of en-
joyment in life and become a burden
to others through Indigestion.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food and gases are
not natural. Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets used for a few days before meals
will so strengthen the digestive or
gans that you can eat anything you
want without fear of distress or re-
sulting sickness.
The directions for taking Mi-o-na
emphasize the difference between this
remedy and the ordinary medicine
that is given for indigestion. Mi-o-na
is to be used before meals, strength
ening the digestive system for the food
which is to be eaten, while the ordi-
nary remedy is taken after meals. and
simply digests the food without
Strengthening the stomach.
Tallman & Co. have so much faith
in the merit of Mi-o-na that they sell
it under a guarantee to refund the
money, in case it does not cure. A
50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do more
real good than dozen packages of
the ordinary remedies sold for indi-
geston. Then, too, 1t costs nothing
unless II cures.

Decided Success.

The session of the Congregational
convention today was devoted largely
to home mission work and was highly
interesting. The report of the mis-
sionaries working in the Oregon field
showed great activity and progress,
and means will be provided by which
work may be vigorously prosecuted.
The appeal of Rev. Richard Brown,

especially spirited and resulted in de-
cisive action on part of the convention
to provide every available means for
pushing the Sunday school work in
