TURKEYS NEW PARLIAMENT.
One Of Europe's Most Picturesque
Legislative Bodies.

Legislative BODIES.
The new Turkish parliament, which
was recently opened by the sultan In
person, consists of a senate and
chamber of deputies. The senators
and their president are nominated and
appointed by the sultan himself. The
number of senators is, by rule. less
than one-third of the number Of depu-
ties, and the latter probably will to-
tai $50.
The deputies are elected by the peo-
pie in the ratio of one member for
every $4,000 males Of the population.
Given the numerous races and nation
alities inhabiting the Turkish empire,
the new assembly will be composed of
Arabs, Turks, Bulgarians, Greeks. Ar
nauts, Bosnians, Servians, Kurds,
Greek Orthodox Christians, Armenians,
Jews. Professionals and Circassians
The deliberations of this new body will
be characterized by a diversity of
cestral tradition. Of inherited racial
traits and of personal habit in garb
and in weapons, all of which will COM
bine to make the Turkish chamber of
deputies one Of the most picturesque
legislative bodies Of Europe All these
various races and creeds are united
under the embracing term of lotto
MANS" but the sudden amalgamation
Of these various conflicting elements
brings into the venture inaugurated
today prospect of future uncertainty
that makes the smooth working of the
newest parliament Of the world prob

Postal Savings Banks.

Bryan's Commoner urges the demo
Gratis in the senate and house to assist
in the passage of the measure pro-
viding for the postal savings bank
The democratic platform gave a con-
ditional endorsement to this plan, de-
claring for it if the guaranteed bank
could not be secured, and as it is the
only measure that can possibly pass
during the next four years, the people
ought to be given the benefit of it.

The National Wealth.

John Wanamaker, in commenting
upon the wealth of the United States,
points out that this nation this year
produced $7,700,0OO,OO0 worth of farm
produce. nearly twice as much wheat
as any other country in the world,
enough corn, wheat, oats and chickens
to put hundred dollars in the pocket
of every man, woman and child within
its borders
Then adds:
This poor, down-trodden nation, so
rich that the poorest of us would be
wellto-do to any European peasant;
this little handful of sixty million men
and women could be lost in India,
Russia or China or scattered through
Europe like hopper of grain in
plowed field This handful of popu-
lation carrying the wealth of the
world in its pockets, set up terrible
cry of alarm a. year ago when some
body overturned the ink pot and got
things black.

Work is the fundamental factor in
the nations success. It is hard work
that produces from our rich land sc

of which the above writer tells.
But there is also need of hard

work more equitable. 1t is all very

Perpetual Youth.

What's the use OF growing old?
Not the slightest bit.
At threescore a man need not
Fold his arms and quit.
That's what the professor says.
Calm your doubts and fears,
You can just be starting in
At one hundred years.
It is easy. so they say
Who have never tried.
Only need to have the rules
Thoroughly applied.
Just like falling off q log
Backward, they allow,
But they always die before
They have shown US how.
Once IN every little while
Some one comes along
Who can beat the dying game
Or his guess is wrong.
He can tell you what to do
So you'n last and thrive
For a century or two
And still be alive.
What's tho use of dying young.
Dropping of for keeps.
At the age OF ninety-two?
Hear them sigh, He sleeps"
You can spend some fifty more
Years OF pleasant ease.

Show us. If you please.

J. p. CANDIDATES
MUST PAY FEE

Nominees for the position of justice
OF the peace for the smaller country
precincts will have to- pay their filing
fee of SO, in accordance with the opin-
ION of the attorney general, even when
the fees for the entire term may not
reach that figure The opinion given
is that any candidate, nominated at
the primaries by sticker or otherwise
who had not previously filed a decla-
ration of candidacy, must pay the of
fetal filing fee before his name can
go upon the ballot The particular
ruling is that country justice NOM
mated by sticker must pay $40 filing
fee, although his office carries no sal
airy.
The justices so nominated at the
September primaries, outside of j. v
Lewis, of Wallula, who filed his decla-
ration of candidacy, are:
w. F. belong, democrat, Wallula;
E. L. Wheeler, republican, Waitsburg;
Frank McCown, democrat, Waitsburg
In Prescott the vote was SO compli-
Gated that the officials in the auditors
office could declare no one nominated.
A number of candidates received one
vote each, others tied with two votes,
ana several received four votes each,
making it tie throughout.

Prescott will be filled by appointment
