Do You Suffer from
PiieSor HemOrrhOidshJ

Hemorrhoids, commonly called Piles,
cause untold agony to the victim. If ne
elected, the condition always grows worse
with ever attack, II til the only recourse
is an operation. You may think that you
are prcd.sposcd to piles, and that nothing
you can do will prevent them, but this is
not true. The one certain cause of Piles
is constipation, and if you will keep your
bowels open and regular by taking Smiths
Pineapple and Butternut Pills you will not
only avoid this painful and dangerous
disease, but your whole general health will
greatly improve.
A torpid, inactive liver goes hand in
hand with constipation. Smiths Pine
apple and Butternut Pills are composed of
the two great vegetable agents, pineapple
for the stomach liver and gastric secre-
tons, and butternut for the mucous mem
brane, circulation and bowels, and always
give best results - they are Natures own
laxative. Physicians use and recommend.
They form no habit. You should always
keep them on hand. These little Vegeta-
bic Pills will ward off many ills.

system Is run down and needs general
toning up. Very often, however, the
trouble is all in the way you hold your
pen.
Children now in school are not like
ly to be troubled with writer's cramp.
because they are taught to hold the
pen lightly and make all the move
ments from the arm instead of the
hand. The old fashioned method
which most of us learned of holding
the pen between the thumb and fore
finger is also very likely to encourage
cramp. The muscles become tense
and hard, until finally they contract so
much that all control over them is
lost. The pen should be held between
the first two fingers, well up toward
the joint. The trouble may often be
relieved by putting the hand and wrist
into the hottest water one can stand

Chas. D. Gum, the son-of-a-gun
who conducted the mill company's
boarding house for a month or more,
departed very unceremoniously last
week, leaving some unpaid bills. Mr..
Gum was a malodorous egg. He rep
resented on his arrival here that he
came from Spokane. Some Portland
creditors, who learned of his wherea-
bouts two weeks ago, got after him and
he skipped out. He formerly lived in
that place and conducted a small bust
ness there. His tricks here were old.
The moral to this story is, do not be-
lieve all that stranger tells you. Par
ticularly does this injunction apply if
he is voluble and tells you what good
man he is.

Eastern Washington Publishers Meeting

The Spokane press committee has
called meeting Of the editors and
publishers of the Inland Empire to
meet in Spokane, May 9th for the
purpose of organizing a press asso-
citation.
The purpose of the organization
is to unite the press of the country to
work for more substantial and greater
development of all parts of the Inland
Empire and to encourage the emigra-
ton Of desirable settlers and influx of
capital to assist in building up the
country and develop its agricultural,
industrial and commercial resources"
The visitors will be deliberately en-
tertained by the Spokane Press Club
so that pleasure will be mixed with
the more serious objects of the meet
ing. These meetings may be made
to do much good in the way Of calling
attention to the Inland Empire. What
those Spokane fellows do not know
about boosting has been wiped off the
slate. Perhaps the writer may find
time to attend the meeting.

M. ]. Gordon has been indicted on
several counts by Spokane grand jury
the past week. Will the taking Of the
money by Gordon from the Great
Northern railway company be referred
to by the press in the plain and une-
quivocal term that is used in calling
attention to the taking of a horse from
its rightful owner2 The custom is to
refer to the taking Of a horse by some
poor, ignorant wretch, by the harsh
term theft" and the taking Of money
by the rich or socially prominent is
sugar-coated into "a misappropriation
of funds" Are not we newspaper men

The fact that the deposed sultan of
Turkey, Abdul Hamid II, was deposed,
and his successor selected by the two
houses of the Turkish parliament rather
than the Moslem church dignitaries, is
the brightest particular incident con-
nected with the recent Turkish out
break. If only half of what has been
said of the deposed sultan is true, he
was very bad old man. Of his sue
cessor and brother, Rescued Efendi,
who has been a prisoner for 80 years,
little is known by the great world. We
can only wait and watch.

steals a horse or a sack of -four, but
looks with maudlin tolerance on the
theft of money from the public by its
servants, the theft of railroad, the
theft of overchnges based on fictitious
values, commonly known as watered
stock, the theft of franchises by bribery,
in short public sentiment has come to
look upon theft by wholesale with
sentimental forgiveness. 1t is this
kind Of public sentiment that is re-
sponsible for the acquittal, in many
instances, Of the intelligent great thief
and the prompt conviction of the igno-
rant petty offender. Juries reflect
public sentiment in their verdicts.
Why is sympathy extended to the man
who is rich, powerful and intelligent,
with a nice family and social promi-
nence, when caught with the stolen
goods, and denied to the poor, igno-
rant wretch who steals a coat to keep
his body warm? The maudlin SYM
pathy everywhere expressed for the
former is too often responsible for his
escape from punishment. Until public
opinion regards the great offender in
the same light as the small one, until
public condemnation is visited alike
upon Hartman for stealing million
and John Doe for stealing ham will
the juries continue to set the great
offender free. He who takes anything
of value which he knows does not be-
long to him commits theft. If the
property taken has no personal owner
ship then it belongs to the public.
Schively and Nichols took money they
knew did not belong to them. Will
public opinion have the moral courage
to call the taking by its right manner

sprang the first pair, as I say, at my
school, and | guess | didn't break the
hearts of all the other boys or nothin'!
Besides the copper toes, these boots
had red tops. with silver star and
crescent stamped on the red tops, and
that made the blow all the more fright

other youngsters showed up with cop

peal of the brakemans job was the

The revenue bill, which passed the
house some two weeks ago, is still
dragging along in the senate, with no
prospect of early passage by that body.
The proposition to graft an amendment
on it providing for an income and in
heritance tax does not meet with much
favor. Such a bill would affect too
many of the senators themselves, who
are nearly all millionaires. When self
the wavering balance shakes it's rarely

has been created a vacuum. Now, ma
ture abhorring vacuum, the wind
