EYES AND THEIR MEANING.

Wide open eyes are asid to be indi-
cative of rashness.
Side-glanoing eyes are always to be
distrusted.
The downoast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
The proper distance between the eyes
is the width of Que eye.
People Of melancholy temperament
rarely have clear blue eyes.
Eyes with long sharp corners indi-
cate great discernment and penetration.
The white of the eye showing Ee-
meath the iris is indicative of nobility
of character.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil the indication is of
cool deliberation.
Gray eyes turning green in anger or
excitement are indicative of choleric
temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across the pupil indicates
mental ability.

Brass lands will play prominent
part in the campaign of the Hoosler
branch of the Hearst Independence
party, if the plans of the party leaders
are carried out. Charles q. Conn, CT
Elkhart, the millionaire manufacturer
of musical instruments, is being urged
to accept the nomination for governor,
and according to delegates who are
here today in advance of the state con-
vention, he will probably accept. Mr..
Conn is known all over the world as a
maker of wind instruments and his
fame in this direction should insure
him the brass band vote. He has made
many millions in his business. Until
recently he was democrat and served
several times in congress. At one time
he was the owner of the Washington
Times, now the property of FRANK
Munsey, which he conducted for the
alleged purpose of giving his congress
sional acts proper publicity. He is a
clever advertiser, and if nominated for
governor by the independents, will
likely make a spectacular race.

Advertising Oregon" is the title of
a page in Printers Ink" of July 8th,
Que of the most widely known adver-
tising jo.,-uals. And it is no wonder
that the states work along these lines
has attracted this attention, for no
portion of America is circulating the
attractive literature that burdens the
mails of Oregon everyday in the year.
Now that the colonist rates are in ef
feet every citizen of the state should
feel it his duty to advertise the fact in

organizations which are working to

CARTER RECEIVES
STRANGE WARNING
IKE WILLIAMS" WRITES THAT
NEGROES HAVE 1T IN FOR HIM
AND SOMETHING AWFUL is LA
BILE TO HAPPEN.

Montgomery, September SO.-tSpecial)-
If John Carter, a prominent planter Of
Montgomery county takes the warning
that has been received by him he Will be
afraid to go home in the dark In a
letter signed Ike Williams he is told
that the negroes have it in for him and
that he is liable to be killed at any time.
Mr.. Carter can not imagine why anyone
would want to kill him, and he is taking
the letter much joke However. i'll
order to make safe the letter has been
turned over to the postmaster for an in
vestigation by the government.
The letter is crudely written, but Is
evidently composed by a negro. 1t was
sent through the mail and reached Mr..
Carter last Monday After reading it he
could not remember any Ike Williams, so
concluded that it was a fake. He is a very
prominent man and we'll liked by all.
He brought the first bale of this season
to Montgomery and has a large acreage
in cultivation. He lives at Chisolm, 4
suburb of Montgomery.
The letter follows:
Mr. John Carter:
BE careful and don't come home after
dark; something is going to happen to
you soon. A great many negroes and
white folks hate you very much. L bear
them talking mighty bad about you. Be
on the lookout. You are in danger. Don't
many like you, white or black. Take the
advice of a negro friend and be very
careful They certainly tc1k mighty bad
about you. Your friend,
IKE WILLIAMS"

The only trust having the impudence
to openly assert that it is going to elect
its own trust representatives to public
office is the Labor Trust.
The election therefore will determine
whether the Common Citizens retain con-
troll of public affairs, or allow the Labor
Trust magnates to govern.
The common man loses his liberty
when he and his fellow citizens allow any
organization or trust to get control, for
each trust whether of labor or capital
is in business to gather every dollar pos
sible and divide up among the members
Gf the managers leave any.
And where do they gather all this extra
money?
The Meat, Steel Oil, and other Capital
trusts raise the price of their products.
The Labor Trust does the same thing
by boosting the price of the plumber,
meat-chopper, ironworker, shoemaker,
baker, etc, ETC., and by filming them for
breaking rules and also fining employers.
The particular shoemakers, bakers, etc,
ETC., who happen to be members of the
Labor Trust may not get much extra
money out of it but the Trust Managers
seem to handle heavy sums.
Now to get back to the question, where
does all this money come from, this extra
money both labor and capital trusts are
striving Tor. Inere is OILY one place LOT
them to get it, my friends, and that is
from the pocket of the common citizen
not member of any trust. He is the
long suffering workman who pays to add
extra dollars to the earnings of both
Labor and Capital Trusts.
We all admit that both trusts are right
enough in trying to earn all they can,
but the citizens they are feeding on abb
solutely must keep awake and protect
themselves at the polls and before the
courts or the trust members get fatter
and the common citizen thinner. The
non-trust citizens are heavily in the ma
jority and protect themselves easily when
reused, but they often allow designing
men to manipulate politicians and laws
until the common people are helpless.
Why do you speak of the Labor
Trust?" someone asks.
1t has been clearly defined as a trust
in the fullest sense of the word by the
best lawyers in America including Clar-
ence barrow the Attorney for the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and by the
United States Supreme Court itself
You see all trusts are formed to accom-
plish certain things.
Control production. Control prices.
Control members Of the trust.
Get the highest price the public will
stand
The Meat trust controls and sells meat,
the Labor Trust controls and sells labor,
both feed off the public, and it is per-
fectly safe to assume that the managers
of either or any trust will soak the
citizens for every dollar they can get,
only limited by the amount of power the

Montgomery September 30-(Special)-
More than two years after breaking dirt
on the buildings the new capitol COM
mission, the organization which had over
sight of the erection of the south wing
of the state house, has finished its work,
and, by reason of its duty being well
done, disbanded as such. The commits
sion was made up of two sets of state
officers and had for members men who
have for some time left the service of the
commonwealth and re-entered private
life.
The commission was in organization
much longer than was necessary to erect
the buildings, having been first drawn
together by Lieutenant Governor r. M.
Cunningham, acting governor during the
absence in the west of Gov. William ID.
felix's. He served as president until the
return of Governor Jelks. The others
with the first makeup were Secretary of
State E. r. McDavld, Treasurer j. Craig
Smith. Auditors T. L. Sowell and j. M.
Carmichael, Attorney General Massey
Wilson.
When Governor Conner came into office
he found the new buildings almost COM
pleted and automatically the commission,
which is made up of officers not individ-
uals as such, became: Gov. B. b. Conner,
Secretary of State Frank N. Julian, Treas
urer w. D. Seed, Auditor William w.
Brandon and Attorney General A M.
CARRIER. DR.. Thomas NJ. Owen, director
of the department of archives and his
tory, has been the secretary of both COM
missions. He has kept all the records
and never missed meeting.
At the final meeting all contractors and
material men and others were reported
to have been paid and the books clear,
with a small balance to the fund The
south wing had been built for $51,129,
the contract price, with only about $500
for overs and such work as could not
have been foreseen from the first. This
is considered an exceptionally fine record.
A small balance in favor of the fund was
left. The original appropriation was made
by the legislature of 1908, amounting to
$3.50, 900. The lot cost $4,000 and the bal
ance between the cost of the lot and the
main building was spent In generally
overhauling the old building, which was
given new roof, tile floors, new stone
steps, etc. The dome was done over in
the latest excellences of the art.

Everyone agrees that combinations of
