PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL NEWS

Accounts in the Oregonian of la
Dor difficulties are always colored
against the workingmen, often de-
liberately falsified and seldom prop
erIy stated.
1t is not generally known, but it
will be in time, that the Supreme
court of the United States has de-
cided that any American citizen can
be exiled without trial by immigra
tion officials.
The disclosure as to the election
of the last United States senator
from Illinois show us what to ex-
pect in Oregon If the Assembly
crowd win out. It wants a condl-
ton where the legislature has 4
saIve given to every member with
an itching palm.
We are assured that Japan could
land 1000 men on the Pacific
Coast in 60 days and whip the day
lights out of us while we were get
ting ready to eat breakfast. Maybe
50; but Japan would obtain larger
returns on the money invested by.
tackling Chile, South America.
The odoriferous Depew of New
York says he is going to be reelected
to the United States senate. He
should be. He represents the ex-
press trust, and what would it do
without a representative in the
American House of Lords? His re-
election would be pointer on what
to do with party with a stomach
strong enough to hold him.
over in Washington the politi-
clans are giving 80 reasons why
Miles Poindexter is not available
for United States senator and should
not be supported by the members of
the legislature, even If he receives a
majority at the primary. The Tooth
reason they don't give is that ne mas

OF Jefferson, republican aud democratic
candidate respectively for county COM

summoned before the cauvassing board

This count agrees neither with the

changes In the various viscera.


Alcohol has a curious selective &C.
ton, ana as individuals react differently
TO equal doses. so, too, do individuals
show different pathologic changes
from equal indulgence. The brain and
central nervous system, or the heart
and arteries, or the liver and kidneys,
may each separately bear the brunt of
the alcoholic poison. Thus the brain
and nervous system may entirely es-
cape the poison, and the individual die
OF cardiac = other ViSCeral degenera-
ton; or the "in md nervous system
may beCOl ; early degeIerated and
the viscera escape, and the chronic
alcoholic live long years, nuisance
and curse to his community. Unfor.
tunately, when alcoholic eXcesses are
committed in the youthful, formative
period of life, the brain and nervous
system are the more prone to be af.
fected. The man who INDUCES in al
cOholic excesses is like a man who
reCklsssly signs sight drafts which he
never expects to be Cashed in, but
when overtaken with acute disease or
accident these drafts are cashed in
with pitiess insistence. The effects OF
alcohol do not always remain confined
to the generation which commits the
over-indulgence, since idiocy, epilepsy,
moral degeneracy and weakened, un.
stable mentality are more often found
in the. children of alcoholic parents
than in those of non-alcoholic parent
age. The actual thirst or craving is
not inherdited, but the weaker moral
character which is bequeathed easily
gives way to any temptation and quick,
ly forms habits of excessive indul,

the game was played was so dusty that
IL confused Elk Point, the dust some of
the time being dense that you could
not distinguish your own men.
The game was called at $50 O'Clock,
with Vermilliou kicking off. Currie
received the ball and was dUwned on
Elk PoiCt's thirty-ive yard line. Ver-

their opponents for downs After Yer

five yards of a touchdown they were
penalized fifteen yards for pushing.

The causes and effects of alcoholism

BAR is PASSING IN CANADA
Ts nperanee Reform Making Strides in
Dominion in Keeping with Ad-
Vances in United States.

The bar is passing in Canada. With
In the last few years temperance re-
form has made strides in the Dominion
fully in keeping with the advance
south of the line. Throughout the
country the public sentiment is un.
doubtedly in favor of a reduction in
licenses. This was seen in the plebi-
scite taken in British Columbia.
By substantial majority the pe0-
pie of British Columbia then de,
cided in favor of local option. 1t is
seen in the steady reduction of IL

tario. In 1875 Ontario had within its
territory 4,793 bars and 1,407 liquor
shops. At the present time there are
throughout Ontario only /, 800 bars and
about 240 shops. In May last the
commissioners cut off IL licenses in
Toronto alone.
This progress is to be found even
In maligned, backward Quebec, and
Quebec has played an important part
In temperance legislation In Canada
In 1898 a plebiscite was taken through,
out the Dominion on the question of
temperance. Every province went in
faVor except Quebec, and Quebec de-
c1dsd just as strongly the other way
So strong, indeed, was the voice of
Quebec that the total majority was
reduced to a paltry 1887, and on
such majority the Laurier admins
tratton declined to take action.
But since those days, even Quebec
has caught something of the conta-
gion. Back in 1892 there we're licenses
in two-thirds of the municipalities OF
the province. At the close of last
year, out of 1.O0S municipalities In Que
bee, there were $50 with no licenses
and 3%9 with licenses. In 16 years the
position was almost exactly re-
Versed.
With the adoption of local option
methods by the various provincial au-
thorities throughout the Dominion the
Canada temperance act appears ato
have fallen from grace. 1t is in force
now in only GG districts In the Domin-
ion. Temperance men declare that an
amendment made to it's provisions did
not mend 1t. AS the law now stands,
liquor may be taken or shipped into
temperance territory, provided it is
for personal or family USE" For in
stance, the county of Halifax in Nova
Scotia Is not under the Canada temper
ance act, but there is a county adjoin-
ing which is, and the stories told of
family consumption of liquor in GER
tain portions of that county are varied
and amusing.
lnfractiOns and evasions of the law
no doubt exist, and will probably never
cease to exist. But temperance is gain
ing ground, although absolute total alb
stinence throughout the Dominion is
still far distant. and, indeed, would
probably not meet with the support Of
many who now throw in their influ-
ence with the temperance party. Com
menting on the movement, the Toronto
Globe says: THE whole history of
social reform in Canada during a gen
Grafton foretells time when the bar
room shall be prohibited. The time
Is now so near at hand that all con-
cerned should begin to adjust them
selves for the changing order. The
fight is on. 1t is fight to a finish"

small things make in the success Of

presides over the fortunes OF handker-

Why has little Jap housewife SO

II Is because people In Japan use pa

they are done with them.
