Father O'Hara Speaks.

An address on the minimum wage
bill now pending in the legislature
was given by Rev, Father OHara, Of
Portland, ono Of the promoters of the
bill, who was invited to be present for
the purpose of enlightening the club
on the minimum wage question.
Father o'Hara reviewed the history
of the movement to procure such bill
in Oregon and told in an interesting
way of the Investigations that were
made to obtain facts upon which TO
base the bill. He named the board Of
governors Of the Portland Commercial
club, the State Federation Of Labor,
the State Grange, the Retail Mer-
chants association Of Portland, and
the Women's clubs Of the city among
the organizations endorsing the bill.
"0ur Investigations showed" said
Father o'Iara, that 60 per cent Of
the girls who are working in Portland
get less than $40 a week, Ten dollars
is about the lowest limit on which a
girl can live decently. The going
wage in the Woolworth store, one Of
a chain Of stores maintained all over
tbs country are 81 and $3.50 a week.
Recently some Of the girls who were
being paid that amount Of wages were
turned Off and others hired at SO and

RInmcs Big Stores.

OF more than 1000 girls in the de-
parunent stores Of Portland, 80 per
cent are paid from 81 TO $40 week.
The same condition holds for girls
working in the factories. And not only
are they paid low wages, but they are
also required to work more than the
legal number Of hours. Instead Of
working 10 hours, many have to work
until 0 or 10 o'clock at night. Moving
picture cashiers work IA or 10 hours
a day
"In some Of the places employing
girl laborers the moral conditions are
deplorablo Male and female workers
have TO make use Of the same toilets.
In some Of the laundrioB where the
Igirls faint with the strain Of working
in the scam and heat they are taken
outside and laid In tho shade for few
minutes until they recover then have

Government appropriate a certain
amount of money for each mile OF
road traversed by a mail route, and
that such roads be known as post
roads" This plan was discarded
from the fact that it was believed
that this would soon grow 70 euor-
nous proportions and would de.
mand more money than could be
expended in this work. Then it was
suggested that the roads be i'm
proved where there was a rural free

a small percentage of the people
that this also was abandoned.

Federal aid in road construction.
This law then would have to be
constructed as not to interfere with
State laws governing the public
roads and here again would arise
complications. This is one of the
problems that the persons interest
ed ID the promotion of Federal aid
are trying to solve.
In the meanwhile, other counties
and states are going about the
building of their own highways re.

and likewise are using good com.

whether the Government. State or

many, the expectancy nj getting
something from the Government,
CONVEYS the idea that it is getting
something for nothing, and this Is
one of the reasons that many peo.
pie are crying tor Federal aid in
many things that Should DC attend
ed to right here in our own coun,iss.
In many counties bond issues have
been voted by the citizens OF the
county and the work of improve

10 the Eleventh District we hear a
great deal of the ."Booue flighway'
which it is proposed TO build with

TO couueet with the Virginia pike

there is a possibility that Il will,
this would be a monument far more

of money would purchase. This is
only ''being talked Of" buc there are
counties in the State that are put

are going after the roads they want,

REPUBLICANS
And p ogressisives are
Getting together.

The following appeared in Sun
DAVIS issue of Lexington Leader as
an editorial and gives so much rea
inform ton that we reprint it for
the benefit OF both Republicans and
Progres,ives of knoS county:
1t is gratifying TO note that there
is a strong DRIFT all over the coun
try toward harmonious adjust
ment al the differences that split
the Republican party in 1912, IN
spite OF the vehement pronounce
me OF Col. Roosevelt and emitent
members oi his loyal following that
Prugressives must go 1t alone
and he equally positive declaration
of some of the old line Republicans
that they are still standpatteis and
that the party does not move.
Our prediction, based upon per-
sonal intercourse, observation and
correspondence, is that the Republi.
can marty name and historic po-
litical principles will be perpetuated
by merger of the two branches
into which the G. o. i. separated
last year, but that the Progressives
will have the qualification OF seeing
the custome and abuses upon which
they waged warfare in the Chicago
convention abandoned and con-
demned, and a more liberal and re-
spousive organization put in CON-
mand of the party for the future.
Everything points to radical can.
troll OF the Democratic party and
administration and sweeping tariff
reductions under Mr.. Wilson, and
will produce reaction in favor Of
fairly conservative principles and
the protective tariff policy OF the
Republican party, which will make
it easier for both factions of 1912
to get together for an old fashioned
family reunion.
The standpat element has been
clicked to TO FRAGILE" as Colonel
Roosevelt would say, and only
small percentage Of those who bolt
ed the nomination OF Mr.. TAFT
cared a continental for the recall,
initialixe and referendum, so after
all there are no insurmountable dbl
lerences TO overcome If we eliminate
both Taft and Roosevelt and the
personal cor sderations which
prompt loyal support OF each.
Here in Lexington and Fayette
county there is happy disposition
TO hurry the differences OF 1912 and
unite Progressives, Republicans and
Independent Democrats in a repeti.
ton Of the Fusion movement that
redeemed Fayette county from Ma.
chine rule and gave the taxpayers
an economical, business.like ad'
ministration Of fiscal affairs, purified
the atmosphere OF the Court House,
wiped put the iniQuitous election
system that had long cursed the
community, and restored an honest
ballot to the people.
In this connection we commend a
careful reading OF the sensible letter
OF Judge Roland c. Burns of Cat
lettsburg, in this issue, on the poll
cal situation in Kentucky, in which
he gives both factions Of the 6. o. p
good advice and correctly points
out the course that ought to be pur
sued. Judge Burns is a brainy,
level.headed Republican and his
words ought to carry weight.

The Republican State convention
in Michigan last week was happy
illustration Of the get together"
tendency. The Progressives swept
The State last year and yet they are
acting this year within the Repub-
mean organization and largely di-
recting its policies This is true in
nearly all the stalwart Republican,
States of the West and Northwest,
and it practically assures the su
premacy Of the Republican organ
ization and name and adoption OF
many Progressive principles.
In the Michigan convention to
nominate justices of the Supreme
Court and minor officials to be
elected at the spring elections, the
old line Republicans named the
temporary chairman, bnt the per-
manent presiding officer was Sena-
tor w. Frank James. a Progressive
Republican who was elected last
fall on the Republican ticket, but
was an avowed Roosevelt adher-
ent and one of the third party
leaders, most active supporters.
Every county in the State had its
full quote OF delegates and the con
vention is said to have been by far
the largest and most enthusiastic
held in years. Many men who were
prominent in the national Progress
sive party last fall returned to the
Republican ranks as delegates and
were given an equal voice in the
convention and there was no fac.
tional feeling apparent.
The Progressive element was in
control and a platform embodying
all Progressive measures now be-
fore the Legislature was adopted.
The initiative and referendum is
favored and the recall of all State
officials except the judiciary was
approved.

MEAT CAUSE Of

with salts occasionally, says noted
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys In their efforts to expel 1t
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer
with dull misery In the kidney re-
gion, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness: your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment. the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful IN
a glass of water before breakfast for
few days. and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with iithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also
to neutralize the acids in urine. SO It
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.

Every country estate in Burlingame
now has its own fire brigade composed
of grooms, gardeners. buffers and
Wallets. Even the housemaids have
become experts at the art of handling
a garden hose with the greatest pos

measure taken by the millionaires of
the fashionable peninsula suburb.
The private brigades were organ
lied hurriedly few days ago when it
became known that the city of Bur-
lingame lacked a fire department. The
town had one until recently. but when
the board of trustees ignored the
wishes OF the firemen in the purchase
of apparatus. the whole force resigned,
including Chief William Vincent.
Servants were organized into fire

EXPECTED

The federal grand jury this after
noon continued its Investigations
into the alleged coal frauds against

Special Treasury Agent Tidwell and

a close examination of the documents
in conjunction with Special Prosecu-
tors Matt I. Sullivan and Theodore

1t is understood that the govern
ment hopes to introduce evidence from
the books of the two concerns that
will lead to indictments against Of
