CLEVELAND AND ROOSEVELT.

The backsliding due to offensive
partnership" bulk small in comparison
with the impetus Cleveland gave to
good administration by his work for
the classified service. He retained
Theodore Roosevelt as member of the
Civil Service Commission: the two
worked together in harmony, and the
president was keenly sensible of his
loss when Roosevelt thought n higher
duty called him to New York. Dur
ing 1894 Cleveland added 5,46S places
to the classified service, and next
year made several extensions and re-
visions of the rules, all in the line of
an enlargement of the merit system.
He issued an order which required
the filling of vacancies of a certain
grade in the consular service by per-
sons of proved capacity and fitness.
During his last year he made a gen.
eral revision of the rules which added
to the classified service 32,095 new
places. on his second accession to
office he had found 42,92S places un-
der the civil service rules; he left &c.
9S2, of which only 1913 were due to
growth. Truly did he say in his last
annual message: "A most radical and
sweeping extension was made by ex-
ecutive order dated the 9Th day of
May, 1896, and, if fourth h-class post
masters are not included in the state
ment, it may be said that practically
ali positions contemplated by the civil
service law are now classified"
Sohurz was almost ready to say nunc
dimittis.
In conclusion, it may be safely af-
firmed that Cleveland did more for
the cause of civil service reform than
any president except Roosevelt. whose
work both as commissioner and as
president mark him as the chief pro-
moter of this phase of good govern
ment: but Clevelands task in his first
administration was more difficult.

THE CURRENT AGAINST HIM.

While President Taft is Swinging
around the circle" in the interest of
his campaign for a denomination his
opponents within his own party are by
no means idle. The progressive re-
Progressive Republican League and
they are striving to unite the progress
sive wing of the party in behalf of
LaFollette. That they are meeting
with considerable success is indicated
by reports heard from various sec
tions of the country.
Fremont Older, managing editor of
the san Francisco Bulletin, one of
the most progressive editors in the
United States, and the man who was
directly responsible for sending Abe
Ruef to prison, has arrived in Wash
ington with information about poll
teal conditions on the Pacific coast
which flatly contradicts that being
sent from the presidents train.
California will send a LaFollette
delegation. to the republican national
convention" said Nj Older "The
delegates from that state will not be
lonely for they will be Joined by La
Toilette delegations from Washington
and Oregon.
If the voters in the other states
who are opposed to a denomination
for President Taft would only realize
their own strength the nomination
OF a progressive republican would be
assured far in advance of the conven-
ton. Ny observations lead me to be-
lieve that the people are rapidly
breaking away from the notion that it
IS impossible to deprive the federal Of
flee holders Of the control Of the con-
vention
IF this conviction continues to
grow, as I believe it will, Mr.. Tafts
nomination viii be impossible. The
only chance for the republican party
Il win the presidency in 1912 is to
nominate a progressive. The people
are beginning to realize this fact and
from this time forward, ] expect to
see the anti-Taft sentiment grow in
every part of the country"
Mr.. older's prediction about LaFol-
lette delegations from Oregon and
Washington is not made without rea-
son. During his visit in this state
Taft made it very manifest that he is
allied with the assembly or reaction
airy wing Of the party. He had not
one word of praise for the Oregon
system and he chose assemblyites to
accompany him on his tour OF the
state. His chief guide while In Ore
gon was Ralph Williams, the man
who is credited with having brought
Ormsby McHarg to Oregon for the
purpose of getting legislators to vio-
late the pledges they had made their
constituents during the election three
years ago.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the

irritating influence of dust, impure
air, ETC., and for this reason are
the places Catarrh usually first
mqnifests itself. But these are
simply exciting causes, the inRam-

produced by an impure and citiafed
condition Of the blood. It's well
enough to use some local treatment
to cleanse these membranes, but
any one can readily see that if
the inRammatory matter is left in
the blood, such treatment cannot
possibly have any permanent effect.
S. SIS. cures Catarra by purifying
the blood of all impure catarrhal
matter and irritating germs and at
the same time builds up the system
by its fine tonic effects. When
S. S. S. has purified the blood, the
mucous surfaces are all nourished
and made healthy. There can be no

then, because the blood is pure, and
every tissue receives nourishment in
stead of irritating matter. Our book
on Catarrh will give proper advice as
to what is best to use as a local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free, also any special
advice you may feel you need.

Now let us look at the interur
ban railroad from a business
standpoint, of the cities ant
towns touched by it. Perhaps
10 better illustration of its ben
.fits can be given than to recite
the experiences of the town Of
Gillespie, in the state of Illinois.
This town is situated on the Big
Four railroad and is about fifty
miles from st. Louis. When the
Big Four was built some twenty
odd years ago its advent was
hailed with great delight, and
many towns were laid out and
plated along its line. The pre-
sumption was that the new rail-
road would develop the country
and give impetus to local inter.
ests. Gillespie was among these
towns that sprung up along its
line, but after springing up and
looking around a little it sat
down again, and when 1t saw
the trains of the new road 60
sailing by without stopping, it
sat still awhile then it lay down
and died, apparently, so far as
Its recent activities were con-
cerned. Its business interests
faded away like a song that was
sung. The railroad company
paid no attention to it except to
allow its locomotives to whistle
as they hurried by, and this
seemed to be begrudged and often
forgotten. The town had some
latent business energy left how
ever and when It heard that the
Mckinley Interurban was head
ing towards 1t, that long slum-
bering energy suddenly awoke,
sat up and took notice. A COM

DOGS SAVE MASTER

from cold or starvation, as the locality

was coming down the hillside through
the woods and in the dark did not see

The well had not been stoned up
and Fabiano had nothing to climb on.
If he loosened much of the earth he
was afraid of being buried by cave

He says it was about midnight when
he dropped in and after an hour his
two dogs found him. He called for
! help and his two dogs barked loudly
until I o'clock this morning when a

Wants Fire Protection.

That ladders or other fire escapes
should be installed at the high school
building so as to permit of the escape
of the students from the Second story
in the event of fire is the belief Of
II. Berkeley, well known local insur-
ance man. According to Mr. Berkeley
the danger to which the students
would be. subjected in the event of
fire has frequently been pointed out
but nothing has ever been done to-
wards providing protection. He points
out that the chief danger arises from
the fact that the stairway is directly
over the furnace and in case Of fire it
is very probable that those on the
second floor would be hampered in
e escaping and loss Of life might oc-
cur. He argues that one or two lad
ders could be placed about the build
ing at but small expense and that they
would be a good safeguard.
w. F. Farish of the Grand View Ir-
rigation company, came down from his
home at Freewater this morning.
