CUT HIS HEAD OFF.
That's What will Happen te
Janitor We11s-Others Want
the Job.

tits known to be fact that
County Judge Woodward is be-
sieged by Corvallis politicians to
squeeze John Wells out of the jan.
itorship at the court house. There
is large list of applicants for the
job, and most of them expect the
place as reward for the service
rendered Judge Woodward in the
late campaign. The judge cannot
reward them all. There is no
doubt but what he loves them, but
he hasn't enough janitorships to go
around. He is in a position that
he would like mighty well to b.
out of, for in naming one of the
candidates, he must turn all the
others down. Four years ago
when the court went democratic,
the republican janitor, W. G. Lane
was continued in Office until he re-
signed about a year later to run for
chief of police, but it is said that
precedent won't stand now, and
that Janitor Wells political head
has got to roll into the waste basket
with dull sickening thud next
week.
At last account, there were eight
applications on file, and it was said
to be fact that in addition to those
filed, there were other candidates.
The salary of the position is $50
per month and the duties include
the janitor work in the court house
and Jail, the care of the heating
plant and the management of the
court house park.

AS TO STORKS.

Dearth of births in that city is a
source of public concern in Port
land, although it is doubtless the
average wife's opinion that the
subject is none of the public's busi
ness. Since it is she on whom the
cares and labors fall, the question
of whether an ordinary wife shall
have no children or dozen of them
is one that is mainly her own busi-
ness and no business whatever OF
the town politician, the city magis-
trateor some other wife's husband.
Tin her younger days, Mother Thaw
had become mother to one son less
there would be fewer tears on her
pillow, and less of sorrow to bend
her frame now. Murderer Barnes
who killed his neighbor for SIS
and whom Roseburg court has
just sentenced to hang, is one of
birthings of fwhom some in Portland
other than wives, want more. If
Esther Mitchell's mother were alive
what reason would she have to be
thankful for motherhood of a
daughter whose hands are red with
brothers blood. There are mill
lions of wives wholly unified for
maternity. and millions more too
poor financially to rear family of
children, and to order these to bear
children, whether it be done by Mr..
Roosevelt or by Portland theorists,
is untimely and flatulent folly.
A happy family where children
are welcome is the ideal and the
noblest ordinance of life; but God
help the mother, help the father,
and help the children in a family
where children are unwelccme or
unloved. How many times or
whether or not a wife shall be a
mother is none of the public busi
ness, and only concerns her to
whom, according to her taste, chill
dren are a joy,-or burden.

TUESDAY EVENING JULY "a, 1906.
CHAMBERLAIN AND THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The news from Salem is that the
last remaining dollar of the school
fund has been loaned, and that more
than four millions of it is now at
interest. Four years ago more than
$7oo, 900 of this fund was in the
state treasurer's hands, yielding no
interest to the school children, the
interest on the sum, if any there
was, going into the pockets OF the
treasurer. It was then that Gov
ernor Chamberlain began an agita-
ton of the subject, promising the
people in his campaign addresses
that if elected governor, he would
see that this money should be
loaned in the name of the state,
and the proceeds be set aside for
the public school children. Gov
ernor Chamberlain was elected, and
the dispatches from Salem show
how we'll hehas kept his promise.
The answering fidelity with which
he stands in every crisis and on
every occasion for the interests of
those who placed him in high apo-
sition Is what makesthe executive
Office an honor to Governor Chamb-
erlain, and Governor Chamberlain
an honor to the executive Office.
What he has done in this one act
for the schools and school children
of the state is alone sufficient to win
for him the applause and esteem of
every citizen of the commonwealth.

PRES. SPENCER KILLED IN WRECK.

A Southern Railway Pullman train
crashed into the rear of another near
Lynchburg, Thursday. The engine
split into the private car of President
Spencer, of the Southern Railway.
Mr.. Spencer and his guests, Cha''as d.
Fisher and Francis T. Redwood. of ral-
timore, and Philip Schuyler, of New
York, were instantly killed. d. Watts
Davis, Washington telegraph opera
tor; Engineer Terry of the train and
two negro porters were also killed.
Ten others, nearly all negroes, riding i'm
combination coach, were injured.
Railroad officials ascribe the accident
to the carelessness of the telegraph
operator who allowed the Atlanta train
to pass his station while the Jackson
vile train was in the block.
President Spencer's body was burned
almost beyond recognition, as was that
of Mr.. Fisher.
1t is reported that the telegraph
operator has disappeared and that q
search for him has been futile.
President Spencer was a Southern
man, having been born in Columbus,
Ca, March 2, 1S47. He graduated al
University of Virginia in 1869. Presi.
dent Spencer represented one of the

NATARRH OF the respiratory organs
- is common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part Of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was dis
covered by Canadian people to be a re-
liable remedy for these catarrhal dis
eases, 1t at once became popular medi-
cine, not only among individuals and
in families, but In the great hospitals,
where il was used as preventative and
relief in hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that of
the Sisters OF Good Shepherd, who gave
tho following endorsement;
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
Having used Peruna for tire past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy TO say fhst IL has given us great
satisfaction.
The Sisters Of TIE Good Shepherd,
August 20, 1908. Montreal.
After a continued use of the remedy,
this institution has found no reason to
change its good opinion of the remedy
and expresses its satisfaction in the fol
lowing terms:

"Before the treatment 1 could not
walk for quarter of an hour without
experiencing much fatigue. Now can
walk mile easily.
Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the eff
ficiency of your remedy"
Hospital st. John, of st. Johns,
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"Three weeks ago I wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
PerUHa. We recommend IL highly for
colds, coughs, caEarrEI and neuraLgia.
81 have used it myself as n tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
4 teaspoonful every half hour"
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage.
OF course, it is only reasonable to
suppose that great deal less medicine
will be necessary to cure a slight attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after 1t had been al
lowed to become chronic.
Directions for taking the remedy will
be found on each bottle, also in DR..
Hartman's book, called "The Ills of
Life, +" which can be obtained from YOUR
druggist for the asking.

When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system, it becomes an obstinate dis
case to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body-is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is just such a remedy. II
searches out the cause of tho disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.

tial possibility if the Republicans are
successful in 1908.
Judge E. w. Saunders, of the Fifth
Virginia district, was sworn in as a
member of the House of Representatives

fill out the unexpired term of former
Congressman Swanson, now Governor
of Virginia. Judge Saunders was elected
for both the unexpired term and the full
term at the November election.
IfDemocrats are to continue to ignore
Democratic majorities, whether given in
convention or by the primary plan, then
will the party of Jefferson become as
dead as is its immortal founder. If the
kickers would only kick out we believe
the ranks would be refilled by those
who would follow the flag no matter
who bore it. The man who cannot
stifie a personal prejudice in the inter-
est of party moves is not worthy to
bear the name or wear the uniform of

legal document of divorce issued in
Lancaster county, Virginia. They had
been married only four months, accord

trouble arose. Mrs. Dohrman swore
the warrant out for her husband June
8 last. Mr.. Dohrman disappeared, and
the warrant was not served until Fri

OUR friends at the North have
long since demonstrated that they
are of the same blood and mold as
the Caucasian here when it comes to
summarily furnishing for unuameable
crimes, and now Chicago demon
strates that the white man North, as

this country. Truly, the Windy City
goes the South one better; for who
ever heard of the Republicans down
South attempting to count out sue
cessful negro candidate, and that
candidate himself a Republican !?
Yet that is what was done few DAYS
ago in the great State of Illinois, to a
negro Judge who was elected in Chi
csgo on the Republican ticket. Win
ming by five hundred, he was robbed
of nine hundred votes by Republi-
can returning board, and mis- Demo
cratic competitor counted in, because
there was a howl from the people
against the Republican party for
putting him on their ticket. Let Us
now have peace-in Congress and out
