A Fool Telegram.

A burlesque telegram was received
yesterday afternoon by Mayor Sleeves
from certain citizens Of the town Of
klamath Falls relative to the recent
encounter between Governor West and
Frank l.. Perkins, senate reporter on
the Evening Telegram. The telegram
is an alleged take-off on a Klamath
Falls episode in which a reporter on
the Northwestern staff was attacked
by one of the police force while the
Mayor and most Of the other city Off
cias looked on without offering to
quell the fight AS u result Of an in
yestigation which followed the COVER
nor threatened to enforce the law by
martial rule AS joke the missive
from Klamath Falls Is far-fetched. AS
logic it fails,
The telegram received by Mayor
Sleeves follows:
I'VE are advised by the press that
the governor assaulted a newspaper
man in the state house and the legis-
lators stood by and made no effort to
present the crime, and that no effort is
being made to punish the guilty par
ties. We wish to know what steps you
as Mayor Of Salem expect to take to
secure n better enforcement Of the
law, otherwise It may be necessary to
enroll a company Of volunteers here to
take charge and place the city under
military control The offensc is the
same as occurred here when a police
man assaulted a reporter and we pro-
pose to see that the law is enforced
in Salem the same as in klamath
Falls"

little younger in 1910 he might have
been able to foresee the storm which
was rising against his feudal system
and to have averted 1t by some Of the
concessions to the populace which his
friends in the United States urged him
to give. But he disregarded the pOr-
tents, and relied on a blood and iron
policy after his eighty tempestuOus
years and his wrecked health had at
last deprived him Of the physical vigor
to enforce it.
what next in MeXico?" raises a
question which arouses great interest
in the world in general, but especially
in the United States. A country which
has an area as great as that of the
United States east of the Mississippi
which is as rich in natural resources
as any other land of equal extent on
the globe, and which has as large
population as the United States had at
Van Buren's election and larger than
any other Latin-American country ex-
cept Brazil, can not be permitted to
have a freedom in setting up anarchy
which is allowed to such feeble little
states as Nicaragua and Hayti. The
United States has S1,OOO,OO0,OO0 capt.
tai invested there, with an equal am
cunt for Great Britain, Germany and
the rest of the countries of Europe
combined. Fully $4,000 Americans re-
side in Mexico, Two-thirds of her for
eign trade Is with u.s. In a humanita-
rian as we'll as in an economic sense
our stake in the order and stability of
the Mexican republic Is vast, and as
corollary of the Monroe principle we
must not only protect the lives and
property of our own citizens there, but
also those of all Europeans.

THE appropriation of $1,000 for get
ting out what is known as the
"Blue Book" will probably be one
parnig made by the ways and means
committee in the house. This little
book is one Of the really necessary
things, especially to all state and
county officers, as 1t contains, among
other things, the names and addresses
of all county officers, and hence is in
valuable as a handy reference, when
communication with any officer in the
state Is necessary.
Not only is it great convenience
for the officials all over the state, but
is also a great convenience for busi-
ness men, especially the big firms in
Portland doing business in all parts of
the state. Then, too, 1t Is in big de-
mand in the schools, where political
geography and such branches are
taught. Besides these uses, it also
generally contains a brief writeup Of
each county, its products, population
and resources, and as in demand for
this purpose. The amount is trifling,
considering the practical necessity
and the genuine usefulness of the lit
tie book, and 1t will be unfortunate in
deed IL the committee sees fit to cut
II out.

UGH! HOW ALL
CHILDREN HATE
CASTOR OIL
TO CLEAN THE LITTLE ONES
STOMACH, LIVER AND WASTE.
CLOGGED BOWELS GIVE GENTLE
"SYRUP OF FIGS"

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in
sisted on-castor oil calomel, cathar-
tics. How you hated them how you
fought against taking them.
With our children lis different. The
day Of harsh physic is over. We don't
force the liver and 30 feet of bowels
now; we coax them We have no
dreaded after effects, Mothers who
cling to the old form of physc simply
don't realize what they do. The chill
dren's revolt is well-founded. Their
little stomachs and tender bowels are
injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peeyish, half
sick, stomach sour, breath feverish
and its little system full of cold; has
diarrhoea, sore throat, stomach-ache;
doesn't eat or rest well-remember-
look at the tongue, if coated, give a
teaspoonful OF Syrup of Figs, then
don't worry because you surely will
have well, smiling child in few
hours.
Syrup of Figs being composed en-
tirely of luscious figs, senna, and aro-
matics simply cannot be harmful. It
sweetens the stomach, makes the liver
active and thoroughly cleanses the
little ones waste-clogged bowels. In
a few hours all sour bile, undigested
fermenting food and constipated waste
matter gently moves on and out of the
system without gripping or nausea.
Directions for children Of all ages,
also for grown-ups, plainly printed on
the package.
BY all means get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for the full name "Syr-
up of Figs and Elixir of Senna," pre-
pared by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Accept nothing else.

SCHOONER ADVENT
WILL Be TOTAL LOSS
Went Ashore Yesterday and Is Today
Pounding to Pieces on the
Rocky Shore.

Marshfield, Ore, Feb. 19.-The
schooner Advent, owned by the Simp-
son Lumber Company, which went
ashore in heavy sea on South Spit
here yesterday, is breaking up and in
all probability the craft will be a total
loss. Captain Mont Eaton attempted
to sail over the bar unassisted and
on it was becalmed. When the vessel
began drifting toward the shore, the
anchor was thrown out, but uselessly
The vessel went aground on the spit,
from whence the captain and crew
were rescued by the llfesaving crew
Of the Coos Bay station.
