HAS
VETOED The
FRANCHISE

Giving as his reason that If the pres
ent franchise granted the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern Railroad company,
by the council, was enacted into law
that it woHd destroy Twelfth street
as a thoroughfare, Mayor Lachmund
last night vetoed it, and his veto was
sustained by vote of the council
After the mayors message, giving
his reasons for vetoing the franchise,
had been read, Alderman Rigdon
gained the floor and declared that the
mayor was correct in his position, and
that he hoped the council would sus-
tain him. He further declared that
other defects had been discovered,
among them a dangerous condition of
affairs which would be produced on
Front street, where the Oregon Elec-
trio also holds a franchise.
With the view of correcting all these
defective features members of the
council, together with attorneys rep
resentlng the railroad company, will
at once draft new franchise, and sub
nit it as early as possible AS the
company contemplates many improve
ments, and desires to have them com
pleted by fair time, the work Of re.
drafting the document will be rushed

WHITE SLAVE
PICTURES AT THE
BLIGH THEATER

Every citizen of Salem should avail
himself of the opportunity Of seeing j..
Ii. Martin in his presentation OF the
white slave traffic at the Bligh. Sew
eral reels are shown in which the OPP
crations of those who participate in
dealing in the lives of young girls for
profit, showing how the different steps
in their degradation follow naturally
one after the other. The lives Of two
girls are shown from the time they
left the parental home in answer to
an advertisement for a travelling COM
panion in a foreign country through
all the dives and dens of lniquity and
vice until they are again restored to
the family fireside. Contrary TO the
general impression a good deal OF
force and brutality is practlced by the
nefarious men and women in the prac-
tice Of their awful deeds, even to the
extent, Of kidnapping young girls and
cruelty beating and otherwise mis-
treating them. All Of this is shown
very vivldly in the pictures. Mr. Mar
tin explained and guaranteed that the
pictures showing these dens Of inlqui-
ty and degradation we're taken from
the real life and that they still exist IN
the large cities. He said that the!
were not taken from books nor were
they the product Of the conception o
the mind, but taken from real life
The different stops necessary to leat
a young girl from life of virtue AM
honor to one Of degradation and sll
are shown to be so gradual and Ger

WILL REQUIRE
A MAJORITY
TO INITIATE

Believing that the initiative law
should be so amended that minority
cannot pass an initiative measure, the
Majority Rule League, of Portland, is
waging a strenuous campaign in be-
half of a bill along that line, and
which will come before the voters this
fall.
Under the present law If an mitia-
tive measure secures majority Of all
the votes cast on It, then it becomes a
law, and because of this condition the
judicial amendment was passed at the
last election though there were but
A 900 votes out Of the $4,000 votes
cast at the election in its favor
The league proposes to so amend
the initiative law that no measure ini-
tiated can become law unless ma
jority of all the votes cast at the cleo
tion at which 1t is initiated is in its
favor Under the present system If a
voter fails to vote against measure
he virtually votes in favor of 1t, but
with this amendment 1t will be incum-
bent upon those advocating the meas
ure to secure majority of all the
votes cast at the election, and the fact
that a person does not vote one way OF
the other on the measure will not op-
crate to their benefit.

CONVENTION
ATTRACTS MANY

Demonstrating in an interesting
manner how the dread disease tuber-
culosis may be communicated from
COWS and other animals to human be-
ings, Professor j. D. Beckwith, Of the
Oregon Agricultural College, delivered
an address to those assembled at the
tuberculosis convention here last
night which was listened to with rapt
attention.
He was followed by DR.. j. o. Van
Wrinkle, health officer for this county,
who took for his subject "Consump-
ton in Rural Districts" During the
course of his remarks he touched up
on the subject of altitude as a cure
for the dread disease and recon-
lnended that a change from low to a
very high altitude be not taken as the
change might be too sudden, and the
result be fatal to the patient.
DR.. H. J. Clements closed the pro-
gram with splendid address on the
subject. "other Forms of Tuberculo-

PEEVISH CHILDREN

Don't be angry with your child be-
cause he or she is continually irrita-
BILE. In 80 out of 100 cases you will
find that the trouble is worms.
Among the common symptoms Of
the presence of round worms are
nervousness-which often leads to
eplleptlform attacks---dizzlness, verti-
go, capricious appetite, restless
sleep, itching Of the eyes and nose,
nausea and often hysteria. Round
worms are several inches in length
and infest the stomach Occasional
ly several hundred are found in a
single person. Thread worms are
smaller, often not longer than q
quarter of an inch. The symptoms
dehotlng their presence are about the
same, but in this case the child has
no appetite.
Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is unsur-
passed in removing worms. Not only

TO HELP NATURE SHED
A BAD COMPLEXION
lFrom The FamIly PhysIclan.l J

(From The Family Physlcian)
Beauty deyotees are enthusiastic
over the beautifying qualities of mer.
collzed wax, Perhaps nothing discoy-
cred within recent years accomplishes
so much so quickly, without harm,
without detalning one indoors, and at
such small expense. The principal
reason for It's wonderful merit is that
It works in harmony with physiological
laws Instead Of hiding, or curing"
complexion defects, 1t removes them.
The wax actually takes off the aged,
faded, sallow or blotchy cuticle, gent
ly, gradually, causing no inconvenl-
ence. It is Natures way of renewing
complexions. When the natural pro-
cess is retarded because Of deficient
circulation or nerve tone, mercollzed
wax comes to the rescue and hastens
the skin shedding The new complex
ion which appears is a natural one,
youthful, healthy equisitely beautiful.
| II you've never tried mercolized wax,
get an ounce Of It at the drug store,
use at night like cold cream, washing
1t off in the morning.
Another natural beautlfying treat
ment-for wrinkled, flabby skin-is to
bathe the face in lotion made by dis
solving an ounce Of saxolite in a half
pint witch hazel. This is remarkably

agreeing that life apart would present

out must at once leave the house with
nothing but the clothes worn at the
moment. The other party remains in
