THIS MAN IS NEVER
DISCOURAGED BY DEFEAT



Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 1.-That hope
springs eternal in the human breast is
demonstrated in the case Of w. B.
('eBlackstone'D Mccoy, Of Randolph
county, Ark, who has been running for
office for 40 years and has never been
elected.
An unbroken record Of defeats dating
back SO far that only the Oldest citizens
remember when he began running for
office does not seem to have diminish
ed his ardor for serving the people in
some official capacity. Defeated in the
primary, he would run in the general
election, always buoyed up by the hope
that some unexpected turn would land
him with the victors.
Eighteen consecutive times he ran
for county judge. -Four years ago, with
number Of candidates in the field, the
vote was badly split and Blackstone"
lacked only few votes Of winning the
nomination. Thinking he had been
counted out, he ran as an independent
and WAS defeaeted by the usual major
ity.
He then began running for the legis-
lature. He has just made his biennial
announcement and is making one of his
characteristic campaigns in the county.

LooTING PosToFFICE HERE

For the second time the Salem post
office has been robbed of mail, Theo-
dorse Larsen being the one charged at
this time. Larsen was arrested last
Saturday afternoon about O'Clock at
the Gile & Co. packing house, where he
has been employed, and federal author
tiles took him to Portland to answer to
complaint charging him with robbing
the United States mails.
Many complaints of missing letters,
money orders and other matters have
been received by Postmaster Hucke-
stein of late, and last Saturday man
was placed to watch the lock boxes. It
was discovered that Larsen possessed
keys to several of the boxes, and he
calmly relieved the mail receptaeles of
their contents and left.
Larsen came in possession of the keys
by standing around the lobby Of the
office, and when patron of the post
office forgot and left his key in the
box, Larsen would take it.
Among those missing mail, which was
taken by Larsen, are Mrs. 6. D. Ga
brielson, ]. ]. Krapps and W. T. jerks.
Larsen, it is said, served time in the
Oregon pen for stealing a horse.

SUPREME COURT MEETS


Washington, Dec. LATTER a two
weeks recess to prepare a "batch" OF
opinions the U. S. Supreme court re-
convened today. Many important de-
eisions were expected today, possibly
including the long-awaited "inter.
mountain rate" and the "Kentucky
rate" cases. Ten important cases are
especially assigned for argument before
the court beginning today. These were
advanced ahead of the regular docket
call. Among them are the California
fruit shippers icing" case, to deter.
mine whether railroads have monop.
oily of refrigerating fruit cars, and the
Kansas "Gascase," to determine
whether Kansas Public Utilities com,
mission can regulate rates Of public
service corporations whose franchises
ante-date the passage of the public
utilities law. Another important case
to be presented to the court this week,
is an appeal of Yoshiro Nakoyama, a
japanese arrested in Colorado for al.
legged "white slavery" The case tests
the right Of the government to deport
alien "white slavers" after they have
resided in this country three years.

LOTS Of WORTHLESS BAYS
ARE BEING SOLD TO
GULL|BLE PUBLIC

With the coming of the Panama can
al opening, Salem people are pestered
by people who are selling lots in coast
towns which will, itsis claimed, have
immense population as a result of the
opening of the canal. The game has
progressed so far that it is about time
to call a halt and stop the flow out of
the Willamette valley of good money
which should be invested here. Several
little worthless bays are used by pro.
moters to back up extravagant claims.
Up in Seattle they gave Hillman
suit of stripes in the federal peniten.
tiary for swindling people through the
mails with promises of great shipping
harbors and steel plants. There is
similar game going on in Oregon today.
The corporation department and the
federal government should take hand
and protect widows and orphans.

SMALL ASSESSMENT WILL
Be NEEDED FOR

Representatives of eight Willamette
valley counties who are making prepar-
ations for a monster exhibit to be shown
at the Panama exposition, met in the
promotion department of the Salem
Commercial club recently and discussed
plans for raising the necessary funds
with which to put the valley on the map
in great big letters.
Secretary Bynon figured out the
amount of money that will be asked for
from the county court in each of the
eight counties. The following able pre-.
pared by the secretary shows the assess
ed valuation of taxable property as
equalized by the board of state tax
commissioners, the amount to be con

IN recent address before the Traffic
Club in Chicago, Col. James Ham
Lewis, who last week was elected to
the United States senate from Illinois,
said: ''This nation has plunged into
regulating the citizen in the conduct of
his personal affairs until it has regu-
lated business to the verge of confisca-
ton and relegated the citizen to the
plane of dependent on governmental
favor or a victim of it's spies and per-
secution. No man Engaged in any large
undertaking but is presumed by the
government to be dishonest and his
business a fraud. No small business
man can aspire to equality of competi-
ton except as the government shall
permit him. Big business stands in
fear and little business in despair. !"
Probably there are but a few in this
country, comparatively speaking, aware
of the fact that the spy system which
obtains in this country costs the tax
payers $4,000, 900 annually. 1t has been
carried to such an extent that there is
no longer any business privacy, and
Sleuths In government employ are trav-
cling to and fro through the country to
make trouble for private individuals
who may find it impossible to comply
with the many laws enacted that sim
ply hamper and irritate honest men
who have neither the desire nor the
disposition to be dishonest. In many
respects, the United States has ceased
to be a republic except in name, and
the conditions are fast becoming as
unbearable as in Russia and it is
hoped that saner counsels will obtain,
| that the government may soon get
back to democrat form of govern
ment, the enormous and outrageous
expense reduced and an army of I'M
necessary behring's discharged. Wat

THE whole world in general, and
America in particular, is interested in
Dr. Friedman's discovery for the cure
of consumption, experimental treat
ments for which have been conducted
for the past month. The results are
acclaimed as little less than wonderful
as stated by those physicians who are
watching the treatments. DIR. Fried
man has unbounded faith in the rem
edy himself, and yet he knew that he
would be subjected to the severest
criticism and professional jealousy, but
he has gone on with his experiments.
A Pittsburgh physician, who brought
over some serum few weeks before
DR.. Friedman came to America, says:
''The serum will cure tuberculosis, and
there can be no doubt of that; that the
results obtained in some cases are SIM
ply astounding" However, the super
vising physicians have not gotten to
the stage of proclaiming their results,
and the world waits almost breathlessly
for the final judgments. If the cure
continues to effect cures, DR.. Friedman
will have proven himself worthy of the
greatest honor ever bestowed upon any
man for work in medicine, and what is
most worthy, he has announced him.

The breaking up of the Brazilian
coffee valorization ring has caused a
drop in the price of coffee amounting
to three dollars bag or about two and
three-quarters cents pound during
the past two months. The campaign
was inaugurated by the department of
justice under President Taft. 1t was
assisted by congress when that body
passed the Norris bill making it impos-
sible for foreign trust or combination
in restraint of trade to land goods in
this country without rendering them
liable to Seizure. The people of the
United States consume in the neigh
borhood of six and one-half million
bags of coffee every year. The reduc-
ton in price which has been brought
about by the policy of the government
in fighting the Brazilian coffee trust
will save twenty millions annually to
consumers

IF WE must have an income tax, it
should be graduated with a fiat rate
for both individuals and corporations so
that the last named will not pay more
in proportion than the first named, and
then the members of corporation may
have personal income tax and thus be
doubly taxed which is unjust, unfair
and unconstitutional. But our pro-
gressive friends do not care for the
constitution, if it stands in their way,
and are already moving to have it re-
viSed to suit their notions.

OUR state prison binder Irvine plant
is beginning to wonder where it will

which was so anxious for the state to
go into the experiment of prison made
Irvine, has already placed an order for
Irvine with a competing concern in
Minnesota, leaving our own plant to
