Carefully compiled statistics show
that last year the American people
lost $717, 000,0 900 In various get rich
quick schemes. Most Of this came
from people Of small means and went
to the fraudulent land promoters, bo-
nanza stock dealers, and various
other swindlers who are Offering the
public Q chance to make q fortune In
q short time and with q small In
vestment. These promoters make q
speciality Of dealing with people Of
small means who have from $50 to
5000 to invest The returns they
would receive from the average To-
cal Investment would not be large

BILE their money in couple Of years,
usually has little trouble in getting
it in return for a handsomely engrav-
ed stock certificate worth just as
much as it is printed on. It will be
noticed that such schemes usually deal
with lands or mines in Mexico, or
some place at q distance. OF course
very few Of the investors ever hear
any more about their money.
Recently some Of the states have
been looking into these swindles and
are taking steps to protect their peo-
pie. Kansas, especially, has taken
the lead in this matter with her fam
Gus "Blue' Sky Law" SO called from
the fact that that is usually about all
such people have to sell. Under this
law, before a promoter can offer
stocks for sale to the people Of that
state, he must appear before the state
bank examiner and prove to him that
there are some tangible assets back
Of the scheme. II it is mine stock the
promoter must prove that the mine
really exists some place besides in
his mind. II it il land in Florida, he
must prove that it II in Florida and
not the Gulf Of Mexico, the Everglades
or some other place where it will have
to be measured in bucketfulls. This
law does not handicap the honest pro-
moter, and protects the small invest
or, who can not investigate such prop
ositions himself.

England Regaining Lost Ground

President Wilson's act in making
political speech on the Fourth Of July
in Independence Square under the
very shadow Of Independence Hall,
has caused wide speculation as to
whether the old time Fourth of July
Grafton is to be supplanted by faction
al political debate. For more than a
century, statesmen, lawyers and di-
vines, on the Fourth of July, have
recalled our colonial difficulties, the
colonists' defiant Declaration of indie
pendence, their suffering and valor in
the camp and field and their final tri-
umph, then the organization of our
government, its defense, perpetuation,
it's growth and standing among ma
tions.
This year, however, at Independence
Square, Philadelphia, where the Con-
tinental congress declared that the
seaboard our own and not Great Brit
aims, President Wilson defended his
act in giving to Great Britain equal
rights with Americans in the Panama
canal, the prize of the western con-
tinent, and which cost more than the
value of all the colonies in 1776, and
made political speech defending his
policies.

Secretary Wilson of the department
Of labor is pleased at reports he is re-
ceiving which indicate that the num-
Der of American citizens emigrating
to Canada is decreasing. For several
years the tide of emigration across
the northern borders of the United
States grew to such proportions as to
cause anxiety to government officials
and others. During 1912, 97,951 Am
erican citizens went to Canada, while
the number returning from that coun-
try to the United States was only 49,

President Wilson's appointment OF
Thomas D. Jones, a director of the
International Harvester company, as

ing committee of the senate, Mr.
Jones is said to have admitted that,
as director of the harvester trust,
he voted not to accept terms proposed
by Attorney General Wickersham. the
republican attorney general, who had
proceeded against the trust. Mr..
Jones was elected director Of the
harvester trust by the votes Of George
W. Perkins of the Pierpont Morgan

SAN FRANCISCO IN 1915.

The American Medical association
will hold its next annual session In
San Francisco. There is peculiar
appropriateness, says the Journal OF
the American Medical association, IN
meeting next year in connection with
the great exposition which is to cele.
brate the completion Of the Panama
canal. While many other organiza-
tons and societies will doubtless hold
their meetings in San Francisco OF
its vicinity during 1915, none of them
is So directly connected with the ex.
position and the achievement which
1t celebrates. Great as were the
achievements of the engineers ana
administrators in rendering possible
the completion of the canal, the dec1s-
i've factor which made its construction
possible was the control and practlcai
determination of infectious diseases.
This is the only essential factor In
the problem which the French engl-
neers under de Lesseps were unable
to master and which the United
States under Goethals and Gorgas
we're able to carry to triumphant So
luton. The French were not lacking
in engineering skill Or administrative
ability. They had ample equipment.
splendid machinery and carefully LAID
plans. az well as personal determine
ton and endurance; but their labor
ers died from tropical diseases faster
than they could be brought in and
set to work The price exacted In
human lives was too great to be paid.
In the years which intervened between
the collapse of the French efforts and
the occupation of the canal zone by the
United States, much progress had
been made in our knowledge of pre-
ventable diseases. This, however,
would have been of little use had not
the army and navy medical services
and the United States public health
service been able to furnish trained
men who were able to apply the new
ly acquired knowledge in a practical
way and to render this tropical jungle
more healthful place Of residence
and labor than any of our large Amer
| lean cities. The canal has not merely
been completed: it has been complet-
ed with a smaller toll of lives than
would probably have been exacted
| from any similar undertaking within
our own boundaries, but under differ
ent sanitary supervision. When the
American Medical association meets
in San Francisco, it can with perfect
truth say to the country and the
world, I'VE have right to meet at
| this time AMI in this place because
We represent the profession which
made possible the construction OF the
canal which this exposition ccmmem-
i crates" AS a commercial undertake
| ing, the Isthmian canal will COUNTLESS
be worth many times over the $780,
O0o. 900 which it was estimated that it
/ would cost; but as triumphant dem
onstration of the possibility of mod
ern sanitation it is worth far more
than any value which mere money
can express. The San Francisco ex-
position will be celebration of the
most striking achievement of scien-
! tific medicine quite as much as a
/ recognition of the successful compile

FRIGHTENED HORSE DRIVES
SPIKE DEEP INTO SKULL

Becoming frightened at an approach
ing auto, horse belonging to J. D.
Barber, which was being led behind a
wagon last evening on Market street,
plunged into a telephone pole by the
side of the road, and spike, which is
used for the purpose of climbing the
poles, struck the animal in the fore
head and passed through the skull the
full length of the iron, which was about
six inches. The unfortunate brute lost
about a gallon of blood but despite
the terrible wound DR.. w. G. More
house, the veterinarian, believes he can
save the animals life.
According to witnesses, the affair
was purely accidental. Mr.. Barber s
hired man was returning to the Barber
place from the farm where the men
had been working, and the outfit was
travelling west on Market street near
Capital, when an auto belonging to DR..
II. G. Eppley approached the rig from
the rear. The horses, which were be-
ing led behind the wagon, began show
ing signs of fright and the auto was
stopped. The horse which was injur-
ed, however, continued to plunge about
and finally went head-long into the
telephone pole on the left hand side
of the road.

LAWYER DIES
RUFUS MALLORY WELL AND FAV-
ORABLY KNOWN IN SALEM
WHERE HE HELD OFFICE.

Portland, May LATTER an illness of
three days, Rufus Mallory, one of the
most eminent layers in the state and
pioneer political leader, is dead here
today at the age of So. Mallory came
to Oregon in 1859 hy way of the 18th
mus of Panama. He served one term
in congress and as member of that
body participated in the impeachment
proceedings against President Johnson.
His widow and son, Elmer f.. Nal
lory, survive him.
Rufus Mallory was as widely and as
favorably known rs any man in Ore
gon. In the fall of 1862 he became a
resident of this city and was for two
years district attorney for the Third
district at that time composed of the
counties of Linn, Polk, Yamhill and
Marion, and all the old-time residents
knew and admired him. He was elect
ed to congress in 1864, serving two
years. He returned to Salem, and in
1872 he was elected from this county
to the legislature, and by it was chosen
as speaker of the house. President
Grant appointed him United States dis
trict attorney, and he was reappoined
by President Hayes. He held this Of
fee from 1874 to 1882, when he was
given an appointment TO Singapore, In
dia. He was associated in the law
practice with the great men of the Ore
gon bar and helped make Oregon his
tory, judicial as well as political. He
laid out the town of Roseburg on part
of 320-acre tract of land taken up by
him, and while living there married
Miss Lucy Rose, daughter of Aaron
Rose, who came to the state in 1851.
1t is probable the name of the town
was suggested by that of the girl who
became his wife. In his passing the
state loses a grand citizen, and many
sincere and lifelong friends will mourn
his departure, even though he had
reached the fullness of years allotted
to man.

DOES YOUR STOMACH CONTAIN A
GLASSFULL OF ACID?

some food into an acid stomach only
increases the discomfort, because the
acid mixes with the fresh food and
turns it sour, making lot more acid.
The acid condition causes food fer
mentation, which iritates, distends
and inflames the tender stomach lin
ing, and it is not surprising that spe-
cialists say acid stomachs are danger
Gus. This decidedly can be overcome
either by following strict diet or,
and this is far easier and more quickly
effective, by taking teaspoonful of
bisurated magnesia in quarter glass
full of water after meals to neutralize
the acidity. The latter course is much
more satisfactory because it eorrects
the acidity and baIiishes discomfort
without any need for diet.
