Misplaced Editorial

A couple Of days ago an editorial in
the Transcript was misplaced.
1t appeared in the advertising col
umns.
This happened because the editorial in
question was not written in the Tran
script office. 1t was written by M. V. n.
Braman, one of the oldest retail mer-
chants in the city. He did not write it
as an editorial. Ae wrote it as an adver-
tisement and paid for its publication
But, todaH, without Mr.. Braman's knOwl-
edge. we are placing it where we think it
belong --in this column. Here il Isl

DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE !?

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
of anything. You are likely to be
respondent and to borrow trouble,
just as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Dom t be victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up
the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination of roots, banks and
herbs. No other medicine acts like
it, because no other medicine has the
same formula or ingredients. Accept
no substitute, but insist on having
Hoods, and get it today.

The Primary in OREGON

In Oregon, one of the first States to
adopt the direct primary. there is move
ment on foot to do away with it entirely
Under the primary system there is, in
effect, two sets of elections for each cam
paign, Now it is proposed to settle the
whole thing in one election by placing
the names of all the candidates that pre-.
sent themselves on the ballot and letting
the voters choose from the entire field.
In this way, it is figured, the State will
save 100000 year. The money-saving
is not, however, the most important con-
sideration involved. If ii is accomplished
at the expense of loading up the ballot
with absurd candidates. and bringing
about the selection of State officials by
minority votes, it will not be money we'll
saved. Oregon may give the new plan a
trial, but that it will be better satisfied
with it than the old way is much to be
doubted.-Springfield Union.

Our Master.

We may not climb the heavenly sleeps
To briES the Lord Christ down.
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For him no depths can drown.
Nor holy bread nor blood of grape
The lineaments restore
OF him we know in outward shape
And in the flesh no more.
He cometh not King to reign.
. The worlds long hope is dim.
The weary centuries watch in vain
The clouds of heaven for him.
Death comes, life goes; the asking eye
And ear are answerless.
The grave is dumb; the hollow sky
Is sad with silentness.
The letter fails, the systems fall,
And every symbol wanes.
The Spirit overbrooding all,
Eternal love remains.
In Joy of inward peace or sense
OF sorrow over sin
He is his own best evidence.
His witness is within
No fable old nor mythic lore
Nor dream of bards or seers,
No dead facts stranded on the shore
OF the oblivious years.
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he,
And faith has still its Olivet
And love its Galiee

the situation:
Emergency currency probably will

occasion requires, this currency, is

not only upset this stock market sc
completely that it was compelled tc

foreign stock exchange houses thai
from 500. 900 to s150,0O0.O00 worth
of American stocks were thrown OF
this market for whatever they woult
