SAVE THE RESOURCES.

For number Of years the slogan Of
the irrigationists has been: "Save the
forests; store the floods" And under
the Roosevelt administration this has
become something more than an emp
ty slogan; It has become a policy, an
executed fact.
Never before in the history Of the
government has one administration
done as much for future generations
as has the Roosevelt administration in
setting aside the forests Of the nation,
fr reclaiming the arid soil with Idle
waters, in checking the plundering Of
the public domain.
If President Roosevelt had done
nothing more for his government than
these things, he would stand as a
monumental figure in future histories
But these great achievements are but
a part Of his gigantic tasks.
Predatory wealth has been checked
fr its onslaughts on the Industrial
wealth Of the country. Political pur-
Ity has been injected into the govern
ment departments. The Panama canal
has been half constructed. the vigor-
GUS hand Of the nation has been laid
upon belligerent countries until peace
seems assured and high ideals Of gov
ernment have been instilled into the
nation until the rampant reign of cor
ruption has come to a sudden end.

The East Oregonian is carrying
some paid advertising matter for the
anti-equal suffrage league Of Port
land, but this does not mean that this
paper Is for the anti-suffrage people.
On the contrary it favors the equal
suffrage amendment to the constltu-
ton and believes that 1t will and
should carry this year. The voters Of
Umatilla county are urged to give
good women the chance to vote, since
bad men have that right. Let us even
things up little. 1t will not be COM
pulsory. Women who do not care to
vote, need not do so. Those who wish
to vote should have that right.

II the congress OF governors which
recently assembled in Washington
will do as much as a body as Theo-
dore Roosevelt has done, as an indi-
vidual to save the resources and pro-
tect the common property OF the ma
tion, the dream OF the ideallst would
be close to realization.
But few men have the force or op-
timism OF Theodore Roosevelt. Few
of the governors OF states have the
welfare at heart as intensely
as the president and so the outcome
OF this congress is problematlcal,

The screeching of the fire whistle on
Sunday afternoon called the attention of
our citizens to bright light in the south
west portion Of the city and hurried in
vestigation revealed the fact that the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith Crankshaw was
all in flames and fast falling victim of
the devouring element.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crankshaw were away
from home at the time of tho fire. and al
though they we're only calling at their
next door neighbor S. the fire had gained
such headway that it was impossible to
save anything from the doomed building.
only the baby's high chair being saved.
The cause Of the fire is unknown, but it is
supposed that the coal stove, which they
filled just before going away and closed
up tight in order to have it comfortable
on their return. must have accumulated
too much gas and blown up, thus setting
fire to the house.
Mr.. Crankshaw carried l,lo0 nsur-
ance in the Sandell agency, which OF
course reduces his loss quite materially,
but the fact that Mrs. Crankshaw has
been sick for several months and had
caused MIN very heavy expense, makes
his loss all the more cutting at this time

The loss was adjusted yesterday for

adjustment and reflects great credit on
the agency.

MILLIONS OF
LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con-
sumption.

If people could only understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofuIa--that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be
warned so often about this fatal dis
ease, which, when neglected, invaria-
bly, ends up in Consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet Catarrh is easily cured If the
right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies
give but temporary ease. Although
the effects are often seen in the form
OF pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble is internal. and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing medicine which is alb.
sorbed and carried by the blood to
all parts of the system, so that the
mucous membrane or internal lining
of the body is thoroughly indicated,
soothed, disinfected of germ matter,
and the soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
Catarrh specially and whose record
of success was cure in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that
it will cure Catarrh in all its various
forms, whether acute or chronic, that
we promise to return every penny
paid us for the medicine in every case
where it fails to cure or for any rea-
son does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes.
The prices are soc and 81. Very Of
ten the soc size effects a cure. OF
course, in chronic cases a longer
treatment is necessary The average
in such instances is three 81 bottles.
