THE DENVER PLATFORM.

Not all of the leading democratic
papers of the country are pleased
with the democratic platform adopted
at Denver. The Kansas City Star is
highly displeased with it and between
the lines in its editorial utterances
one may read a bitter disapproval
Of the document. The Star says:
The Denver platform is not a dem
ocrahc platform unless one man is to
be accepted as the absolute sponsor
for the democracy, 1t is not a party
expression unless one man is to be
regarded as the embodiment of all the
wisdom, all the diplomacy, all the
foresight of the great political organ
ization to which he belongs.
Nevertheless, it is the platform of
party, for the democracy has accept
ed it, has become responsible for it
and must make its fight upon it.
1t is thoroughly characteristic Of
the man who made it. AS with other
declarations that have borne his inn
press, 1t is a combination of the obvi-
ously unsound and dangerous. It
again betrays the Bryan habit of
overreaching. 1t forces on the party
positions that must be evacuated in
the future as Bryan positions have
been evacuated in the past
As to the planks found in both the
Chicago and Denver platforms, each
party has done well. A great effort
was made by Mr.. Bryan to improve
on the anti-injunction plank of the
republican party, but he has accom-
plished nothing except to make a lit
tie more obvious appeal to union la
Dor, His tribute to the courts, inn
plying criticism of the republican at
titude, is bit of humor, for no other
man has done so much to discredit
the courts as has Mr.. Bryan through
his insistent phrase government by
injunction"
The effect of the Denver platform
on the campaign will be through its
inclusion of things not mentioned in
the Chicago declaration. Some of
these planks will be found advantag-
eous; others will not.
By declaring for the publicity of
campaign contributions, the election
of senator's by popular vote and the
laying of ain income tax, and by de-
nouncing Speaker Cannon's rule of
the house, Mr.. Bryan has met a popu-
lar demand that the Chicago conven-
tion ignored.

WHY Is THE RIVER CLOSED?

An eastern capitalist who passed
through the city last evening and who
had observed conditions closely as he
passed up the Columbia river between
Portland and Umatilla, said to the
East Oregonian:
1T is a national shame to have that
magnificent stream closed to COM
merce. Why should a few rocky bar
riers in that river stand forever as a
hindrance to state development?
Why is the river not opened to its
farthest limits? 1t reflects upon the
intelligence and honesty of congress
to know that this great stream, drain
ing a larger portion Of four magnifi-
cent western states, is closed to nav
igation by a few miles of rocky
rapids"
These thoughts have been in the
minds Of westerners for a quarter of
a century. Now that easterners are
be ginning to think the same thoughts
and see this matter in this light, it is
probable that public sentiment will
ultimately open the Columbia river
It is hoped that Oregon senators
and representatives in congress re-
ceive more hearty support hereafter
in their work for an open river.

FOR PURER MILK.

While the health officers and city
council are endeavoring to purify the
milk supply Of the city and safeguard
the users of milk, let US get at the
bottom of the question.
Practically all Of the medical au-
thorlties say that the milk is as pure
as gold when it comes from the milk
glands of the COW and that the con-
tamination comes through filth which
is allowed to get into it after it is in
the hands of the milker.
If this is true, as it certainly is,
the thing for dairymen to do is to
make dalries cleaner, take more pains
with the milk after it has been ex-
tracted from the COW and safeguard
the public by greater care and eau
ton.
The campaign Of the health Off
cials and city council should be for
cleaner dairies and more care with
the milk, rather than to start on the
longer and more complicated route
OF eradicating the infected cows.
II the cans are kept clean, IL milk
ers are more careful, If filth is kept
cut Of milk, II the dairy output is
handled with the care which its i'm
portance to the public demands, the
danger from tuberculosis will be
greatly obviated.

HEALTH VERY POOR
RESTORED BY PE-RU-NA.
Catarrh twenty-five Years.
Had a Bad Couch,

Miss Sophia Kittlesen, Evanston, ILL.,,
writes:
"I have been troubled with catarrh
for nearly twenty-five years and have
tried many cures for it, but obtained
very little help.
"Then my brother advised me to try
Peruna, and l did.
"My health was very poor at the time
l began taking Peruna. My throat was
very sore and had bad cough.
"Peruna has cured me. The chronic
catarrh is gone and pIy health Is very
much improved.
az recommend Peruna to all my
friends who are troubled as was"
PERUKA TABLETS: Some people pre-
fer tablets, rather than medicine in a
fluid form. Such people can obtain Peru
ma tablets, which represent the medici-
nal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet
equals one average dose of Peruna.

GETTING CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE.

Both the reclamation and forestry
departments of the United States
government are being brought closer
to the people each year. When first
organized these important depart
ments were naturally administered
largely by specialists at Washington.
But that method soon proved to be
unsatisfactory. Now 1t is highly
probable that both departments will
be administered directly from offices
in the heart of the west where the
forest reserves and reclamation pro-
jects are situated.
Both Of the departments are vital
to the nation. They are for the good
of the public and whatever is best for
the country and the people will be
the guide OF those in charge.
It is necessary for the forestry de-
partment 70 know what is right be-
tween John Smith and the govern
ment in the distribution Of ranges and
so the government will get close to
every John Smith in the range dis
tricts and ascertain what his rights
are and how to best protect them.
And the same Is true OF the recla-
nation department and soon both Of
these great departments will be ad-
minlstered on the ground, among the
people, and not from a Washington
bureau

SELF-INTEREST AND LAW.

It is disheartening at times to find
a leading public man, especially
lawmaker, whose selfish interests
override his sense and cause him to
legislate, not for the common good,
but for himself and his interests.
This tendency is seen in the United
States senate more often than in any
other lawmaking body in the world.
for the reason that United States sem
ators have been selected, not always
for their fitness, but for the big in
terests" which they represent.
Naturally when they take part in

What Pendleton wants is a site which

for day nor a year, but this conven-
ience is for all time to come and no
mistake should be made.

DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them TO be such, prescrloes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
