POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

New York, the largest city of the
country has had but two national
political conventions, the aboltionist
in 1S4S and the democratic in 1868.
A number of republican leaders of
Wisconsin have organized a commit
tee to promote the candidacy of Sem
ator Robert NJ. La Toilette for the
republican nomination for president.
Secretary Of War Taft has accept
ed an invitation to be one of the
speakers at the annual banquet of
the Boston Merchants association.
December 80 has been decided upon
as the date for the banquet.
The presidential action which will
make Oklahoma a full-fledged state
will be taken next Saturday. 1t is
expected that one of the first acts
of the governor of the new state will
be to appoint the two successful
senatorial candidates to serve until
they can be regularly elected by the
legislature.

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination OF Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get It's beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

A wOMEN,s PROCESSION.

Thousands of men in Hungary the
other day marched in procession to
show their wish for manhood suffrage.
The same week, thousands of women
in Scotland marched through the
streets OF Edinburgh to show their
wish for a vote. An English paper
says:
Edinburgh, the ancient capital OF
Scotland, has taken her share in pa
geant and procession, royal, demo-
cratic, or revolutionary; but probably
her green hills, gray dreaming palace,
stately streets, and great battlements
and tower never looked down upon a
demonstration more impressive. The
rallying point OF the procession was
the Kings park, under the shadow of
Arthur's seat, by st. Margaret's loch;
and here in the delicate, soft sunshine
of an autumn afternoon were gather
ed hundreds of women in carriages
and on foot.
mot from Edinburgh alone. but
from Glasgow and Dunfermline they
came. The procession numbered be-
tween 1000 and 5000 women. 1t was
as plainly in earnest as any Of the
great popular heroic demonstrations
Of history. There was absolutely moth
ing in this quiet, orderly regiment of
earnest women-workers in every de-
partment of life, householders and
bread winners. young and old, all
united in a common loyalty to their
cause-to suggest the virago of popu-
lar imagination"
A number of men, including one
well known clergyman, marched with
the women to show their sympathy,
and it is estimated that a crowd of a
million spectators looked on. The
demonstration wound up with a mon
ster meeting in Synod Hall and an
overflowing meeting presided over by
Miss S. f. S. Mair and Lady Steel.

THE PLAGUE.

The appointment of official rat
killers in Portland, Seattle and Taco
ma, to prevent the Introduction and
spread Of the plague, which is now
prevalent in San Francisco, makes
study OF that dread epidemic inter-
esting at this time.
While science knows that filth
crowded living quarters and other
characteristics Of India and China
breed the plague, yet 1t is not known
definitely that any OF the alleged
cures are certain and so the greatest
effort is made in preventing its spread
and in confining It to the unfortunates
whom it may attack.
The increased ocean traffic between
Pacific coast cities and the orient and
especially the coming of Hindus and
Chinese into Pacific coast cities, have
increased the danger from the plague
and have made the utmost precau-
tions necessary. It Is said that the
poorer sections Of East Indian and
Chinese cities are never free from the
disease, although It scarcely ever at
tacks persons who live in absolutely
clean and sanitary surroundings.
The bubonic plague, or black death,
begins with a sensation of intense
WEAKNESS, sickness and nausea with
mental uneasiness and alarm. Shoot
ing pains dart through the loins,
groins, armpits and other parts of the
body. Stupor or delirium follow, with
alternate flushing and pallor of the
skin.
Soon the Emphatic glands enlarge,
buboes, or livid carbuncles appear on
different parts OF the body and the
mind becomes wildly confused. AS
the disease advances the tongue be-
comes dry and brown, and the lips
teeth and gums are coated with a
brown fur. Livld patches, like bruises,
appear all over the body and faintness
Is extreme.
Where the cases prove fatal the
body becomes cold, clammy and livid,
several days before death; the pulse
becomes fitful, the carbuncles or bu-
boes become hard and blue and blood
oozes from the mucous surfaces In
the mouth.
Death usually occurs in from five
to six days either In state of extreme
calm, or in terrible convulsions, the
manner Of death varying in almost
every case.

CIVILIZATIONS WASTES.

piling them and burning them to
ashes in order to get rid of them.
Farmhouses are still standing in the
Ohio valley whose tenoned frames
are of wide, clear lumber, such as is
now sought for to be made into
kings table tops.
Black walnut lumber in American
commerce is today little more than
a memory; white oak in the finer
finishing grades is worth half the
price of mahogany, and the Ameri-
can vehicle industry is in distress for
the lack of hickory.
Even in sawmill cities of the pres
ent day the lath from the walls of
wrecked houses is carefully cleaned
and bundled for resale, while half
docayed pine logs are sawed into
merchantable lumber. Thus in the
span of one life the American lum-

IO-ACRE FARMS.

So far as the East Oregonian is able
to learn, H. H. Gilbert of Birch creek,
near Pilot Rock, Is the first farmer in
that section of the county to actually
divide UP his large farm and offer II
for sale In 10-acre tracts to actual set
tiers.
Mr.. Gilbert's action is doubtless a
forerunner OF one OF the best indus
trial movements in that section of the
county and should be encouraged.
Few of the colonists who have come
to Oregon this year can afford to buy
section, or even a quarter section Of
wheat land, but they can buy a small
tract, say from 10 to 40 acres and
have come to Oregon to stay. So the
man who offers this class OF people
an opportunity to locate comforta-
bly, on a small farm which their
means can reach, is a benefactor to
the community.
Umatllla county needs actual set
tiers in the farming districts. There
are too many automobile farmers, not
to speak slightingly OF this class, at
all, but the county needs men who
will take a family into the country
districts, build up a home. support
schools, keep up roads, maintain rural
routes and rural telephones and make
the county seem like a habitable and
civilized country
The East oregonian takes pleasure
in giving publicity to Mr.. Gilberts
plan to divide up his farm. Although
It may yield him an excellent income
from the sale OF his land, yet It is an
offering which almost any of the coll
onlsts coming to oregon with modest
means can accept and which most Of
them would gladly embrace, II they
knew of it.

MONEY COMING BACK SOON.

Oregon banks are now in much the
same dilemma as that in which the
Ancient Mariner found himself, ac-
cording to the old poem:
water, water everywhere, but not
a drop to drink"
The country is swamped in pros
perity; crops are bountiful; prices are
high and yet actual cash is short, un-
til it comes back into the channels OF
traffic after having performed the
service of harvesting the big crops.
The instance Of Pendleton Savings
bank may be cited to show the ex-
cellent conditions prevailing in this
county, although ready cash is Shy"
The Savings bank had advanced sew
eral hundred thousand dollars on the
wheat crop, long before it was har-
vested, to pay harvest expenses.
Wages were paid. implements were
paid for: hauling has been paid for;
sacks have been paid for and other
expenses have been met.
And for what purpose? To help
you. and you, and you and every
other farmer patron to harvest his
crop. The money will soon flow back,
four and five fold, to become perma-
nent deposits, but now, this week,
perhaps for the next two weeks,
money in all the banks is certain to
be short, simply because the big
wheat buyers will not do as these
banks have done-they will not ad-
vance money on the crop, they make
you wait until the wheat is actually
delivered to them.
The home banks went down into
their funds and advanced the money
to you for harvest expenses, now the
wheat buyers, who have contracted
the crop largely, will not advance the
price Of the wheat day before they
receive it. So, it is readily seen why
cash is temporarily short.
Last spring the banks helped the
woolmen in the same way. They ad-
vanced the money on the clips long
before many Of them were sheared;
they cashed wool checks before the
wool was shipped out Of Pendleton.
Suppose the Boston banks on which
most Of the checks were drawn. had
refused to honor the checks until the
wool had reached Boston.
This same temporary shortage
might have occurred last spring, had
the volume Of wool business been
large enough to have drained banks
Of available funds especially IL they
had not been able to draw daily upon
Portland banks, which they cannot
now do to the amount Of 10 cents.
SO the banks are temporarily ham,
pered because the advanced money to
the farmers, to their depositors and
customers. to help carry on the in
dustries Of the country.
Suppose the banks at home should
do as the foreign banks and wheat
buyers are dolng-refuse to advance
on your crop until It was threshed
and delivered? Where would you get
money for harvest expenses? How
would you pay wages, store bills,
machinery expenses before you sold
your crops?
You can readily see the situation
and every man should keep his head
and leave his deposit where 1t is. The
banks are absolutely safe and sound
and have only been temporarily en-
barrassed through having advanced |
money to farmers, woolmen, wood |
