visited the Green Springs school Tues
day. He awarded the school a pen

all requirements of being a standard

teacher and district are all very
proud of.
The regular meeting of the SPELL

NEW DEPARTURE.
Selling Medicines at Half Price Under
Guarantee of Cure.

After two months OF remarkable
sales, McNair Bros, the enterprising
druggists, say that their plan of SELL
ing at half price the regular 5O-cent
size of DR.. Howards specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia,
and guaranteeing to refund the
money if it does not cure, has been
the greatest success they have ever
known.
Anyone suffering from dyspepsia,
constipation, liver troubles, head
aches, dizziness, coated tongue, or the
general tired feeling caused by mac
tive liver and bowels or disordered
digestion, should take advantage of
McNair Bros. new departure and buy
bottle of DR.. Howard's specific at
half price, with personal guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.

submarine destroyers along, perhaps,
one of the least protected shores OF
the empire.
THE Rainbow" has been the only
protecting warrior of immediate SER
vice along the entire coast, and Brit
ish and Canadian vessel owners have
at last felt themselves compelled, for
certain monetary considerations, to
transfer all sea-going vessels into the
safe-keeping of Uncle Sam.
A transfer of this nature took place
the other day, when Mr.. Frank d.
Black (son-in-law of Professor Gill
more of this city,, his brother,
Charles H. Black, and a Captain
Cterling, all of Seattle, became the
joint proprietors of large six-mast-
ed brig. The vessel was rechristened
before being made over to it's new
owners, and this is how an eye-wit-
ness describes the ceremony:
The brig had been an English or
Canadian sailing vessel until the war
began, and in order to have it able
to continue service they were obliged
to change the name and flag. We
had the reading of the 91st Psalm
at the remaining, in which occurs
these appropriate verses:
For he shall deliver thee from
the snare of the hunter and from the
noisome pestilence Thou
shalt not be afraid for any terror by
night, nor for the arrow that flieth
by day "A thousand shall
fall beside thee, and ten thousand at
thy right hand; but it shall not come
nigh thee
After the reading of this psalm
the captains daughter broke a bottle
Of Cedar river water over the ships
side, just as the English flag was
taken down and the Stars and Stripes
flung in the breeze. There was a
sweet Australian girl aboard and she
was sorely oppressed with so much
war news floating in the air. on see
ing the Union Jack disappear, but as
with so many other British sons and
daughters, believed that steadfast
hope and 'watchful waiting will in
their own good time bring other
things to pass.
Verify this, the greatest of all
wars, is heartrending in thousand
different and unexpected channels. 4"

The women voters of Oregon are
now registered for the election of
November 8, 1914. They are about
to be judged as political factors
Helen of Troy, Catherine, Diana,
a female lobbyist or a woman schem-
er has ever figured in the history of
the past. 1t does not take ballot
box to put women into politics. Such
means little TO the class referred to,
because they have other ways to
gain their ends.
But to the woman of moral purpose
and high aims the ballot is legiti-
mate way of expression and a fit
weapon to use to make this world
better Her ambition is the greater
welfare of mankind and thus she is
willing to use this new acquisition,
her vote.
There is a third class of women,
the timid and inert, who move slow

to those $4,000 men of Oregon who
defeated several good measures in
1910 because they lived in Selfish
house, on Lazy street. If they con-
tinue to reside they will be little bet
ter than those political manipulators
who essay to dominate our state to
her undoing.
Associated with them are old-time
women lobbyists. Some of them
have been imported, we are told, to
work for national suffrage and Incl
dentally for the interests of "the
ring" who were routed some years
ago. 1t is surmised the liquor inter-
ests have added them to their seen
cry. They seem also to claim Abigail
Scott Duniway. If so, she has lost
her sceptre and the crown she might
have worn.
hold in my hands a book pub
lished in oregon in 1859. 1t was
written by Abigail Scott Duniway. 1t
is entitled Farmer Gray's Com
pany." The following are extracts
from its preface: MY object has
been to write a book which the
worlds workers shall read with bene-
fit. | earnestly believe in the princi-
pies advocated and wish the reader to
think and investigate. Let him, with
the Bible as a text book, search and
know for himself. Skeptics, ye who
live merely that you may cat, drink
and die, this book is not for you.
Throughout its pages it holds the
drunkard to 'scorn and bestows pity
on his family and on his victims.
In 1879, at a state temperance con-
vention held at Albany, Mrs. Duni-
way was present. Up to that date
she had upheld the principles sci
forth in her, book This society re.
fused to embody woman's suffrage in
its resolutions at her request, and
1t is said, her voice was no longer
heard in the halls of temperance.
Benedict Arnold, one of Americas
most brilliant sons, fancying he was
set aside and not fully appreciated
later dishonored the name he bore
by proving false to his conscience anG
to his country.
When the mighty are fallen ont
cannot help but grieve.
Good women will inevitably follow
those leaders that stand for unflinch
ing integrity. These, later, will pla!
their part in the politics of Oregon
and play 1t well; nor will they be de
ceived by the voices that lure, ever
OF their own sex.

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN ,..--

The Pardoning GoVernor.- have |
a notion, without knowing the man,
that Gov. Blease of South Carolina |
isn't as crazy as some of the editors |
who are roasting him and holding
him up to ridicule for his wholesale |
pardoning of inmates of South Caro-
lima conVicts- meaning inmates of |
the penitentiary.
A story was printed in The Day
Book in which Gov. Blease is quoted
as saying: 81 am determined to clean |
out the penitentiary by August and
turn it into a hospital"
If Blease is crazy for feeling that
way about convicts then 1 am just as
crazy as he is, for 1 have thought for
years that if l were governor of a
state long enough 1 would try to
clean out the penitentiaries in that |
state; although l hadn't gone as far
as to think l would be justified in
freeing all of the inmates.
Gov. Blease may be farther advanc-
ed than am, and l haven't the cour-
age to say he isn't right.
He says: 81 know of no better way
of applying the golden rule than by
showing mercy wherever can"
YOU know and l know that no
matter what crime a man has COM
mitted he has some friends who will
do whatever they can to get him out
of the pen. A banker may commit a
dozen crimes and rob men and wo-
men and children; and still infiuen-
tial, leading and prominent citizens
will try to get him out.
There are conVicts, however, who
have been, railroaded to the pen be-
cause they had no friends to protect
them or, as Clarence barrow has well
said, because they hadn't the money
to hire good lawyer"
/ have talked with barrow about
crime and criminals, and have read
what he has said and what he has
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-06-24

If all or the men who were gullCy OF
crime were tried men in high places
might be removed to prison cells. In
my opinion there will be more souls
in hell for hypocrisy than all the other
crimes in the decalogue, and firmly.
believe there are men in prison cells
today who will enjoy the highest
blessings of heaven" 10
/ don't believe there is grown
man living who has not violated some
law, or who has not been at some
stage of his career what the law
would call a criminal. If any rich
man who reads this questions the
statement l will ask him if he has
always honestly listed his property
for taxation according to law. He;
can answer to himself.
Time changes our notions of crime
as well as of other things. Men were
legally murdered only a few years
ago for what were then capital Of
lenses, but which today would not
be considered criminal at all.
Many successful business men of
today at one time or another COM.
mitted crime that would have made
jail-birds of them if they had been
caught. But they were saved by es-
Gaping the penalty of the law. They
send boys to jail and to reform pris--
on nowadays for things all of us boys
did when was lad.
Anyhow, would like to see Gov.
Blease try the experiment of turn
ing the South Carolina convicts loose:
and then watch what becomes of
them in after years although L
would wish that they could get away
and take a good part in society with
out it becoming known that they had
been convicts. =,
1t would have been better, of
course, to have given most of them a
chance before they were convicted
and branded. hIIt the next hest thing

scour the woods and fields, distributing
quantities of grain, suet and fat meat,
which the Audubon Association has
wired to have bought by its agents in

food and pushing his forces at their re-

Murderous weather conditions are
now driving to death huge flocks of the
song and game birds of the country, ac-
cording to reports that have heen re-
ceived by Audubon officials. Following
the sweep of the recent blizzard from
coast to coast, great tracts of trees and
land are known to be rm-locked
against the feathered life that must seek
shelter and food from the natural sources !
that are now held in the icy grip of
winter.
We are exerting our utmost resources
as we have during recent hard winters, |
to save the storm stricken birds of this |
country with every means at our dis |
posal, said T. Gilbert Pearson, secre- !
tary of the National Association Of |
