THEY LIKE DIR. SMITH.
(Weston Leader.)

(Weston Leader.)
The fondness and good will with
which DR.. C. ]. Smith is regarded by
Weston people, were attested by the
prolonged and cordial greeting ac-
corded him last Monday. DIR. Smith
talked a few minutes only, but what
he said was pertinent and emphatic
and nearly brought the audience to
its feet. 1t related largely to Bower
mans record as a school-killer. and
to his defamation of the normal
schools. Always a worker in the
cause of education. DR.. Smith has
stood by the normal schools, and he
hopes TO see them win permanent
recognition in November. Moreover.
his record during eight years in the
state senate is one of faithful, active
and intelligent service. Support of
the direct primary law and other pro-
gressive measures is no new thing
with him. He doesn't have to shout
from the house tops his devotion to
these doctrines, in order to catch
votes. He is safe and tried and true,
and will be reelected in November
not because he wants the office, for
he hesitated long before accepting the
nomination; but because the people
know him, and want him to serve.

KEEP HIM AS SENATOR.

Many times have the. people of
Umatilla county, republicans and DEM
ocrats alike, been proud of the fact
that Senator c. ]. Smith represented
them in the upper house of the leg
islature. That he>is one of the ablest
and most influential men in the sem
ate is admitted even by his most bit
te, partisan opponents. He has been
able to do things for Umatilla county
and he has done things. It was Sem
ator Smith who obtained the appro-
priation for the district fair. The
branch asylum for eastern Oregon, if
it is upheld by the people, will be
due to his efforts. He was the leader
in the establishment of the expert
ment station at Hermiston. He pass
ell the artesian we'll bill which is of
value TO the dry land sections of east
ern Oregon. He was always a loyal
and able advocate of the Eastern Ore
gon Normal and it was through no
fault of his that the school was left
without funds two years ago.
So we'll known is DR.. Smith and so
highly is he regarded that scores of
tie strongest men in his party wanted
him to run for governor. There are
many who believe that had he sought
his party's nomination for governor
he could have obtained it and further
more would have been elected COVER
ncr.
Surely it means something to Uma-
tilla county to have a man like this
in the state senate. Senator Smith
should be reelected and IL he gets the
vote he truly deserves he will be re-
turned by an enormous majority.

AGAINST NEW COUNTIES.

[Oregon City Enterprise.)
Irrespective of party, voters are
prepared to voice their disapproval Of
the wholesale scheme to create new
counties by voting mo- on every
county division and annexation plan
on the ballot at the November cleo
ton. There are no less than eight
separate and distinct propositions and
none has anything to commend it..
save a desire on the part of residents
of small towns to live at a county
seat. The practice is a dangerous
one, and should be promptly and eff
fectively punished. The counties of
Lane, Douglas, Clackamas, Washing
ton, Umatilla, Crook, Grant, Harvey
and Malheur are affected by the pro-
posed schemes. The boundaries pro-
jected are atrociously planned. If the
new counties of Nesmith and Will
lams are created, Lane will be left
in the shape of a big hour glass and
its choicest territory cut off.

THEY ARE BOLTERS.

In this city and throughout the
county the assembly machine workers
are busy trying TO line 'em up" The
bosses and the bosslets are cracking
their whips and shouting voter
straight" Yet these very men are
boiling their own ticket. They are
doing this most conspicuously in the
case of Sheriff T. D. Taylor. In the
primary election Sheriff Taylor was
given the republican nomination as
we'll as the democratic nomination.
He was given the republican nomina-
ton despite the fact that his present
opponent, Houser, sought the nomi-
nation and had men out trying to in
duce voters to write in his name.
Sheriff Taylor won the republican, en-
dorsement in an open race. His
name should be upon the republican
ticket and he should have the sup
port of the republican organization as
well as of democrats. The men who
shout "vot'er straight" should take
heir own medicine.

SOME SWORN INFORMATION.

When he spoke at the court house
not long ago Jay Bowerman, assem-
bly, candidate for governor. criticised
the editor of the East Oregonian as
not being we'll informed regarding
the normal schools. He then made
q startling statement to the effect
that the normal schools had been so
&C nducted that it cost oregon s12,-
500 for every normal graduate. 1t
was a statement that made people
open their eyes and those wo believ-
ed Mr.. Bowerman became disposed
against the schools.
But there was one fatal defect in
Bowerman's statement-it was not
true. The East Oregonian publishes
a statement today which shows that
when Bowerman made that accusa-
ton he told an outright falsehood.
The statement which this paper pub
fishes today upon its first page shows
that the cost of the graduates turn
This cost was virtually the same as
the cost of graduates in other states,
as the statistics given show. The
average cost to the state for each nor
NAL student for the year mention
ed above was ss4 and that per capita
cost was lower than the per capita
cost in many Of the big eastern states,
as the sworn statement shows.
Now the statement which the East
Oregonian publishes today was com
piled from the records by men whom
the people of Umatilla county know.
That the statistics given are true we
have the sworn statement Of Clark
Wood. a man in whom the people of
this county have confidence. The
data given shows plainly that Bower
man libelled the normals when he
said the cost per graduate had been
s12,500 each. Where Bowerman got
his information it is hard to say but
It is plain that IL he had any facts
TO go upon he so garbled the truth
as to make his whole statement es-
sentially false.
Nor was Bowerman sincere when
ne said he had tried to kill the nor
NAL schools so as to stop the log
rolling of which he accused them. 1t
would have been easy to have stop
ped any logrolling by the normal
school people, The Legislature could
have done that simply by giving each
school a permanent annual appropri-
alton The normal school legislators
would have hailed such move with
delight and would have aided Bower
man in the plan.
But when Jay Bowerman took a
stand against the normal schools two
years ago he was not looking to the
merits Of the normal school question.
He was not looking to the welfare Of
oregon's educational system. He
himself was playing politics. He
wanted the support of the Portland
Oregonian which paper had been
waging a bitter and unjust fight
against the normals apparently in
hopes the three existing schools could
be killed and a central school estab-
lished at Portland or vicinity. 1t Is
the belief Of the East Oregonian that
Bowerman's opposition to the normals
was the price he bid for the favor of
the Portland Oregonian which pa
per has been his chief asset in thi.

SCROFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is q disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrolula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or wonauhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage OF outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purificr
without an equal, and it ca7cs tbs
