A CURIOUS POLITICAL INQUIRY.

A writer in the current Harper's Week.
ly propounds very interesting and
pertinent query, namely, What would
occur if the nominee OF one of the great
parties for the presidency should die
by disease or accident between the
counting OF the ELECTORAL votes "a ma
jorty of which had beer received in his
favor and the ensuing 4th Of March?
The constitution will be searched In
vain for an express reference to the
subject The answer to the question
really turns on the reply to a prelimin-
AIRY inquiry whether president-elect
is Observation-Disclosures from a seated presi-
dent. so far as Il Vice-presidents right
OF succession Is concerned The con-
stitution nowhere uses the phrase
"President- elect" u simply says CAR
ticlc KID that, after the electoral votes
have been counted, the person having
the greater number of them for president
shall be the president" II such number
be majority of the whole number OF
electors appointed The writer concludes
that, in the absence of federal legisla =
ton decision of the United States
Supreme Court would be required.

WILL NOT CHANGE RATES
The National Life Insurance Company
Prefers Snfcty to Meeting New
Competition.

Montpelier, July 2l.-As the result of
special consideration OF current life in
surance conditions by the directors and
officers of the National Life. President
DeBoer has made the important an
nounccmcnt to the field forces of the
company that no change will be made n
it's system of rates and policy values
adopted January 1. 1901, and in successful
opera ton since that date. The immedi-
ate reason for this statement arises from
the general agitation OF life insurance
subjects and the organization OF many
new companies In the South and West
This has resulted in a decrease Of new
business for many of the older compan-
les and IN making the business written
moro difficult to obtain and to hold. The
condition. so created. is being met Try
many Massachusetts, Connecticut and
other companies through a cut in rates
and an increase in endorsed values con
cessions to competition which may prove
to be a vice as well the spice of trade,
for, while such changes may render the
sale of insurance less difficult for the
time being. they also constitute an i'm
pairment of future strength and suggest
tendencies toward non-mutual practice
between the new and the old insured
Tho National Life declares, after full
consideration of all phases of current
business and its responsibilities to its
own membership and to the business as
a whole. that neither the laws of States
nor the science of life underwriting call
for any change whatever in Its establish
ed and approved system of policy work,
that il will not participate In any I'M

that II will continue to limit the cxpcn-
SEES of management to the requirements
OF law, and that its policy will be to Sc
cure economic and sure results through
an adherence to its present lines of in

The company couples its statement Of
position in favor of conservative as
against hasty and speculative changes
with the announcement that its dividends

will be advanced in 1909 and that both
it's condition and experience will warrant

Moreover. it is observable that men

1t is not the gentle old family nag,

IT'S EITHER MOCKERY OR PER
JURY
The day of the pretty fool is on the
wane. Few men now are willing to mar
ry girl who has not intelligence in
dependence and strength of character;
and the husband of such a woman does
mt worry about whether she "obeys'
him or not.
He wants his wife to be his comrade
and companion and partner in all that
life has for them both. and he expects
her to have Just as much voice in de-
Gliding everything that affects their mu-
tual interest as he has.
Such being the case, il is certainly
silly to keep the word "obey" in tho
marriage service, whether it is either
cause for mockery or for perjury. It
IS merely a badge or condition Of
things that have passed. It is a bar
naclc on the matrimonial ship that
. ought to be scraped on
Possibly men have chung to that word

CHEAPER MEAT IN SPRING.

Washington. July 19.-The experts in

some extent for awhile.

when any general reduction in meat
prices can be looked for

NO ANSWER FROM FULTON

In his Corvallis speech last
June Senator Fulton made the
declaration that if he did not re-
ceive the popular Endorsement in
June he would not be candi-
date before the legislature. In
view of the activity of his parti-
sans in the state against State
ment No. /, The Journal had its
Washington correspondent ask
Senator Fulton if he still stands
by that declaration, and his an
swer thereto was II am not MAX
ing any statements now" This
refusal to reiterate his rdeclara-
ton, together with the opposition
of his Oregon friends to State
ment No. l, raises the question,
if, after all, the Fulton move
ment has not had it's ultimate in
an attempted legislative election
instead of popular choice. The
plan of some Of his friends of
accepting a candidate if he be all
right politically has it's wide ten
dency toward promoting a COM
plexity that will after all throw
the choice into the legislature

POLICE JUDGE.

With the enviable record he
has made as an officer our peo-
pie will regret to see Mr.. J. F.
Yates step out of the Office OF
Police Judge at the end of his
present term. Since 1895 he has
held the office, having twice been
elected, and had he not refused
to stand as a candidate it is
highly probable he would have
been reelected without opposi-
ton for the third term.
1t is seldom we see man hold
such a position without making
many enemies, but when Fred
put the trimmings on an Offend
er he did it in such easy, grace
full and dignitied manner, always
tempering justice with mercy,
that none seemed to take offense.
Malice never enters into his rul-
ings and in all the trying cir
cumstances his well balanced
mental faculties have been equal
to the occasion. The fact that
that the City Council, without
solicitation on his part, and GER
tainly presuming he would be a
candidate for reelection, raised
the salary of the office,
shows their appreciation of his
services. We believe that when
a man makes a good officer it is
the duty of the people to say so
as it is always an incentive to his
successor to emulate his exam
pie and keep step with the rapid
growth of the town.
Now that Mr.. Yates has hon.
orably retired as a prospective
candidate, suggestions naturally
come to our minds as to his sue
cessor. As indicated by Mr..
Yates in his retiring card, the
office of Police Judge has grown
to be a question of vital import
ance to the city and it should
furnish the holder of this posi-
ton an office separate from al
private business, at the City Hall,

REMOVE THE CAUSE.
How to Remedy Much of the Suf=
fering in Corvallis.

There is hardly family in Corvallis
where there is not one or more members 8
who suffer at times from the effects of a
weak stomach.
1t may be that this occurs only after
eating some food that does not agree, or
bee ause of supper late at night; or it
may be that the stomach is SO weak that
scarcely any food can be eaten without
gain and distress.
The only way to treat condition of
this kind successfully is with Mi-o-na.
1t removes the cause of indigestion, veal k
ness of the muscles of the stomach and
bowels, and restores the whole digestive
system to health and strength so that it
takes care of all the food that is eaten
Get we'll and strong by using Mi o.na
tablets. Take the remedy at the first
symptom of indigestion, when YOU can
be cured easily with few doses. How
ever, no case of stomach trouble is too Sc.
we're or chronic for Mi-o-na to overcome.
Graham & Wells sell it under an abso-
lutte guarantee to refund the money un
less it cures. A 50-cent box Iasts for
couple of weeks, and will do more real
good than dozen boxes of the ordinary
digestive tablets.
