FavOrite Base Burner

There is no, necessity tor shutting up your
home and living in just few rooms this win
ter. You can heat your entire home comfort
\ ably and with less cost than you paid for
heating one or two rooms last year.
That is, if you have FAvORITE Base
Burner.
The FAVORITE sends all the heat from
The fire into the room. None goes up the chin
ney. 1t is the only Base Burner you can say
this of.
The new model FAVORITE BASE
BURNER has added several square feet to it's
radiating surface. The old model had more
radiating surface than any other BASE
BURNER. The new model has increased this
advantage. You cannot find place on the
FAVORITE that is not pouring heat into the
room.
The FAVORITE has the most perfect and
scientifically constructed fue system of any
Base Burner. The heat from the fire passes
into these fues and reaches every square inch
of the stove. And when the heat has to
traverse the entire surface of the FAVORITE
BASE BURNER before it reaches the Chin
ney, you can BE- sure that not very much heat
is going to waste.
You want to see the FAVORITE. Call at
our store and look at it. Get our salesman TO
explain it to you. It's of vital Importance to
your pocket book.

Central America Needs Our Help In
Debt Adjustment.

In Central America the aim has
been 10 help such countries as Mica
ragua and Honduras TO help them
selves. They are the immediate bene-
flciaries. The national benefit to the
United States liz two-fold. First, IL is
obvious that the Monroe doctrine is
more vital in the neighborhood OF the
Panama canal and the zone OF the
Caribbean than anywhere else. There.
too the maintenance OF that doctrine
falls most heavily upon the United
States. IL Is therefore essential that
the countries within that sphere shall
be removed from the jeopardy involved
by heavy foreign debt and chaotic ma
tional finances and from the ever-pres-
ent danger OF international complica-
tons due TO disorder at home. Hence
the United States has been glad to en-
courage and support American bankers
who were willing TO lend n helping
hand 10 the financial rehabilitation OF
such countries because this financial
rehabilitation and the protection OF
their custom houses from being the
prey OF would-be dctators would re-
move at one stroke the menace OF for
eign creditors and the menace OF revo-
lutionary disorder.
The second advantage to the United
States II one affecting chiefly all the
southern and gulf ports and the business
and INDUSTRY Oh tie SOutU. lIt TtpuOucG
OF Central American and the Caribbean
possess great natural wealth. They need
only a measure OF stability and the means
of financial regeneration TO enter upon
an era OF peace and prosperity. bringing
profit and happiness to themselves and at
the same time creating conditions sure to
lead to n fiourishing interchange OF trade
with this country.
I wish To call your especial attention to
the recent occurrences In Nicaragua, for
believe the terrible events recorded there
during the revolution OF the past sum-
mer-the useless loss OF life. the devasta-
ton OF property. the bombardment OF de-
fenseless cities. the killing and wound
ing OF women and children. the torturing
OF non-combatants TO exact contributions.
and the suffering OF thousands OF human
beings-might have been nverted had the
department OF state. through approval OF
the loan convention by the senate, been
permitted 20 carry out It's now well-devel-
oped policy OF encouraging the extending
OF financial aid to weak Central American
states with the primary objects OF avoid
ing just such revolutions by assisting
those republics TO rehabilitate their
finances. 20 establish their currency on a
stable basis. 20 remove the custom houses
from the danger Of revolutions by arranF-

THE MAN OREGON NEEDS.

The election Of a president is OF
course the most momentous feature
Of American politics. But from the
point Of view OF one OF the individual
states OF the union, the election OF a
member of the United States senate
is Of more importance than the nam
ing Of the chief executive. The SEN
.ators are the all-powerful factors in
the enactment OF legislation, and
who those senator's are should be the
matter of first concern.
Oregon has been fortunate during
the past six years. especially forum
ate in that Jonathan Bourne Jr. has
been so allied with the new force in
American politics that he has placed
his state in the forefront OF the pro-
gressiye movement. Bourne is
recognized as a pioneer in the cause,
standing side by side with LaFollette
and the other leaders. But his po-
sition in the senate is even more
strategic than that of Fighting
Bob's. His committeeships are fully
as important, and his acquaintance
with men and with methods just as
thorough.
To defeat Bourne now will be the
most disastrous thing that can hap
pen to this state. No new man can
hope to achieve the position attained
by Bourne in less than six years, so
that there could be no advancement
in sight no matter how capable a
man might succeed to the office.
But Bourne's commanding posi-
tion does not come altogether as a
matter of political preferment. 1t
comes because Bourne had the ma
tive ability and the personal strength
to reach places that less influential
men could not reach in many terms.
The duty the voter owes Oregon
Is to retain Senator Bourne in office.

in Wyoming there are no factories or
other conditions which create the
need Of child labor laws; when such
needs arise in Nyyoming, the women
OF that state can be relied upon to
see that such laws are passed. Cali
fornia and Washington. both already
in possession OF fairly good laws for
the protection Of women and chill
dren, are planning Improvements.
and the newly enfranchised women
OF California are happily anticipating
the passage. at the next legislature,
OF a measure which will give the Cal
ifornia mother equal custody with
the father of California Children
measure which has been repeatedly
ignored under man suffrage.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND CHILD
LEGISLATION.

In one of the circulars with which
the state is being flooded by the
moneyed antl-suffragists. the state
ment is made that Men have passed
better laws for the protection of wo-
men and children than exist under
suffrage electorate in other states. q"
How about Colorado Judge Ben
Lindsey whose name is reyered all
over the nation for his origination
and support OF the Juvenile court,
says; Colorado has the sanest, the
most humane, the most progressive,
most scientific laws relating to the
child to be found on any statute
books in the world"
Not only have these laws been
passed through the influence Of the
women vote, but Judge Lindsey free
ly states that It is TO the women OF
Colorado that he owes his success in
upbuilding and carrying on the
splendid work for children that has
made the Denver Juvenile court sys-
TEN famous.
The anti-surraglst is particularly
fond of pointing out Wyoming as a
state that has no drastic child labor
laws, comparing this suffrage state
with eastern states whore only men
vote and have passed some meritor-
ious measures for the protection OF
children This comparison is Of 1T
tie value for the reason that Wyo-
ming has probably the least need Of
such laws, of any state IN the union.

ROOSEVELT AND THE THIRD
TERM PHANTOM.

Opponents Of the Rough Rider
candidate for the presidency of the
United States have attempted to
prejudice the popular mind by work
ing the third term bugaboo over
time. The attempt is proving fu-
tile, however, and is costing the coll
onel no votes. Upon this point C.
p. Connolly, a magazine writer of
fame, has recently made the follow
ing statement:
"A would-be assassin has declar-
ed that his bullet was directed
against Theodore Rooseyelts body
because no man who attempted to
secure a third-term as President was
fit to live. His logic was as ineffec-
tual as his bullet. But he has done
one good thing. He has emphasized
for this campaign the question
whether Colonel Roosevelt actually
seeks third term as president, and
If so whether he is waging war
against the best traditions of the
country Col Roosevelt succeeded
to the presidency on the death Of
President Mckinley and for practic-
ally all of the three succeeding years
he carried on his administration
with a cabinet selected by Mr. Nc
Kinley and without the preparation
for his office or his policies which
every successful candidate. between
November and March, gives to so inn
portant a task. He was never be-
fore this year, a candidate for the
presidency but once, and then he
was elected by the largest majority
ever given presidential candidate.
He left the office the most popular
citizen of the country"

his position would give him strength,

To elect a man of lesser ability, and
