Solon. They seem to forget
the real purpose of the
legislature and imagine they are
there to play petty politics against the
governor because he is of an opposite
faith.
There is one senator who thinks he
sees a chance to put West in a hole
on account of his humane prison pol
icy Here is the way he is quoted in
the Portland Telegram:
Even now the penitentiary may be
an arsenal. with the gang of human
hyenas in there awaiting a favorable
opportunity for an outbreak, with its
possible carnage and horrors. Then
think of what it would mean for hun
dreds of such abandoned and wicked
men to be at large. There would be
a reign Of terror throughout the length
and breadth of Oregon"
Horribleiferous! How that senator
must live in dread while he is at the
State Capital. How he must worry
and sweat with fear lest some of those
"hyenas' break out of the prison and
chew off his ears. If he stays faithful
ly at his post IN spite of danger for
the 40 days session he will be en-
titled to a Carnegie pension and a
medal also.
Yet If that senator had only read
the newspapers he would not feel so
scared. He would know that short
time ago the convicts had a splendid
chance to escape. The prison caught
fire, but instead of making a break
for freedom the abandoned and
wicked" men turned in and helped the
fire department extinguish the flames
to save the property of the state.
He would also know that carnage
and horror" does not necessarily fol-
low when convicts gain their freedom.
We know this because for months a
band of convicts was at large down
in southern Oregon. Yet all they did
was to build a road and then go back
to Salem. At another time a blood
thirsty lifetimer was given a parole
by Governor West so he could work
off mortage his father-in-law had
incurred during his trial. When the
mortgage was lifted the man went
back to prison of his own free will

temporary value in some cases, 1t is
true, but the good effect is soon lost
and the more one takes of them the
less effective they become.
Hphysic or purgative is seldom ne

permanent results can be obtained by
using scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
mild laxative medicine. 1t is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so
compounded, and contains such defi-
note ingredients that 1t will have
equally good effect when used by
person suffering from the worst
chronic constipation. In fact, among
the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pep
sin are elderly people who have suf-
fered for years and found nothing to
benefit them until they took Syrup
Pepsin
1t is a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. G.
B. Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it SO
strengthened and cleansed her sys-

Father Thorne arose from his desk
and walked to the study window. A
frown of annoyance wrinkled his brow,
as he stood gazing into the yard
Patches of dirty snow disfigured the
lawn, and black pools of water lay
close to the walk of the adjoining
church. The last golden rays of the
westering sun tinted the steeple and
flung iridescent shafts of light into
the murky pools.
The watcher paid little heed to his
surroundings. His troubled brain was
catching at words for an important
letter. Returning to his desk, he took
up pen and wrote.
"Grayson, n. Y, April

He poised the pen for moment,
then dashed it aside with a mutter of
impatience. Downing his hat and
coat, he quit the house.
The April air was sharp. A stiff
wind blew across the hill and ratified
the naked branches of the trees. An
early robin shivered on a waving
bough and dared to sing a few notes
to the dying day. The scene Jared
upon Father Thorne like clangor of
discordant sounds. Turning to his

street of the village and entered a
building serving as general store and
post-office.

bays, until it drew up in front of the
platform, directly in his line of vision
A young man leaped out of the car

POTATOES HIGH
IN SUCKER STATE

George Graves has returned from
visit with relatives at Monmouth,
Illinois. He says potatoes are selling
for 85 cents q bushel at wholesale and
a dollar bushel at retail. A sack of
Wisconsin potatoes holds two and one
half bushels and when dealer opens a
sack he pours the contents into three
baskets, thus gaining half bushel.
There is a law against such pro-
ceedure and the offenders are liable to
be snapped up. Potatoes are adver-
tised as from Wisconsin which gives
this state good name. Mr.. Graves
says everything is higher at Mon
mouth than in Bare boo except meat.
This is better and cheaper in Illinois.
Kerosene there sells for Is cents a
gallon; in Baraboo it is 10 cents. The
factories are working on sho1t time,
cutting down help and business is not
as brisk as in this section. Mr.. Graves
may ship a car of potatoes to the
sucker city. He says that everything
here looks so much better than at
Monmouth. He is for Wisconsin.
