OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton is in favor of the passage by con-
gress of the pending legislation for the
development of a larger merchant ma
rine. which means that the manufac-
turers of Illinois believe that the Unit
ed States should substitute steamship
lines in order to induce them to fly the
American flag upon the ocean. This
subsidy proposition has been defeated
time and again in congress, but it con-
tinuously hobs up. and the hope of get
ting something out of the public pocket
for private enterprise apparently VII
never die
The trouble with our foreign trade is
that cur merchants and manufacturers
have been coddled by the government
SO long that they lack enterprise. and
the Germans beat them out in the mar
kets of the world. The Utopian dream
of a high tariff wall to keep foreign
products out of this country and an
assessment upon the home people in
the form of a ship subsidy for the pur-
pose of carrying our manufactured ar
ticIes abroad is probably no nearer
realization at present than at any time
during the past forty years. It's a fine
scheme. though, and ''ketches the peo-
pie comm and gwine."

WEATHER FOR SALT LAKE.
BREEDEN.

Major Breeder, it is said by those
who are presumed to be well informed,
is likely to be appointed Judge of the
Juvenile court, to succeed Judge Cow
ans. So far as The Herald can aseer-
tain, there is no objection offered to
Judge Gowans except that he was
given his appointment by a previous
juvenile court commission, of which
John c. Cutler, then governor, was
member. The other members of the
commission are the attorney general
and the superintendent of public in
struction. Major Breeder was attorney
general at the time of Judge Gowans'
appointment. and A c. Nelson was
then. as now. superintendent of public
instruction. The present attorney gen.
erai. Albert r. Barnes. was at that
time the assistant to Major Breeder in
the attorney generals office. Attorney
General Barnes is reported TO be in
sistent on the appointment of his for
mer chief
Major Breeden's selection for this
place would. The Herald believes, be a
grave mistake. The Herald regrets TO
say anything disparaging of a gentle
man who in so many ways is entitled
to friendship and support. But he is not
htted for the juvenile court judgeship.
His age and his temperament, if there
were no other handicaps, should elm
mate him from consideration for
place In which success is only possible
to a man who is in real sympathy with
the young.
Some people say that Major Breeder
has to be taken care of. Those who 50
speak are Republican politicians.
Granted that the state is under obliga-
tiens to Major Breeder to provide him
with an office-which is q ridiculous
cOncession-then let the state pension
him. Let the legislature provide some
unnecessary place with living sala-
~ attached and give 1t to Major Bree-
den. But the usefulness of a court that
has already abundantly demonstrated
Its great value should not be sacrificed
IN order that Major Breeder may draw
q salary. Other men have retired from
state office after years of public service
and have been able to maintain them
selves. Why not Major Breeder?

The SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa-especially
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite Of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than TO lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent It? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa, writes: 81 had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, 1t
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now sleep soundly"
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, II will
do for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.

CUT IN COST Of
RUNNING COUNTY
EXPENDITURES ARE LESS
THAN IN PRECEDING YEAR
Court, Criminal and Poor Costs Less
Than in 1907 While County Court
Saves in Cost of Bridges-Expenses
are Greater i'm Many of County Of
fices Due to Increased Work.
County Receipts Total Almost $780,
600 for Year-Expcnses Much Less

Nearly 100000 in taxes, fees and
fines were collected by Umatilla
during the year 1908, according to
the annual report Of the county clerk
In opposition to this the total expen-
ditures for the year amounted to $72,-
485.O5. The exact amount of The re-
ceipts was $96,7S5.24.
One feature of the report is the
showing of less expenditure over the
preceding year of s8,970.51.
The departments in which there
was a saving in expense over the year
1907 and the amount of the differ
ence Is as follows: Circuit court,
s2255.6O: coroner's office, s2S047;
Jail expenses, s492.65; poor farm,
s1286.69; bridges built by contract,
S13,120.06.
The expenses Of the justice court,
the clerks office school superintend-
dents office, the assessors office, and
the county current expense list, the
tax rebates. care Of insane persons,
and election expenses were somewhat
greater than in 1907, owing to GER
tain new and increased lines Of work
taken up by these departments.
The item Of bridges built by con-
tract in 1907 which exceeded the
same item in 1908 recalls to memory
the great washouts Of that spring
when traffic was absolutely cut of
for several days.
In the items Of receipts the largest
+, that for fines. These AMOUNTED to
$1,000. approximately $1,000 Of this
amount being the result Of the pres
ecutlons for violations Of the prohi-
bition law. The recorders office was
next highest with s4665.25 while the
Clerks office comes next with lit
tic better than $4,000.
While the county is still largely
in debt the amount is insignificant
compared with the resources Of the
county and even this amount Is be-
ing reduced steadily.

badly damaged by floods in the past
the county court last year changed the
road so that instead of following the
Wild Horse crek valley, it went up
over a hill, making a hard pull in
each direction.
At the meeting Saturday, a COM
mittee was appointed to call upon the
district attorney and ascertain by
what authority the court made the
change and also to find what action
would be necessary TO have the road
moved back to its original location.
This committee was composed of ].

Christopher.
The farmers say the railroad would
have been willing to cooperate with
the county in the erection of a rock
wall to prevent the washing away of
the road in future and that the ex-
pense in this connection would have
been less than that incurred by the
county in changing the road so as to
run over the hill.

was also increased Saturday by the
addition of several names. Among
these were those of Dave Nelson, John
