Dear Madam: The mayor desires

telegram of April 2S, requesting that
the Liberty Bell be routed through
your city. The question of routing the

Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be
healthy The digestive organs Of
children get out of order as readily
as do those of their elders, and the
result is equally distressing. When
the bowels are clogged with an ac-
cumulation Of refuse from the
stomach the child naturally be-
comes cross and fretful from the
discomfort, and Is often punished
for temper when medical attention
is really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross
and unhappy, without apparent
reason, try giving it mild laxa-
tive. DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
is a mild, pleasant tasting combl-
ination Of somple laxative herbs

of its freedom from all opiate or

A former Oregon legislature me-
morialized congress TO bring the for
feiture suit. II was on the request
OF that legislature and other repre-
sentations from Oregon, that congress
ordered the forfeiture suit brought
Did that former legislature, or does
the late legislature represent the true
sentiment in oregon?
April "a, 1911, Judge wolverton OF
the federal district court in Portland,
rendered decision on the railroads i
demurrer, holding for the people. On
July l, 1913, after hearing all the
testimony. he decided the case on the
law and the fact, and found for the
government. declaring the lands for
feited. and ordering them restored to
the public domain.
The hearing OF argument begins In
the United States supreme court at
Washington next Thursday. Acting
under instructions from the Oregon
legislature of 1915, Attorney General
Brown is to appear and make conten-
tion that will, in effect, throw the in.
fluence of Oregon in favor of the rail-
road and against the people, He is
compelled by this subterranean reso'
luton, slipped through at O'Clock
on the last Sunday morning of the
session, to argue for decree that
will not take the lands out of taxa
tion, and that decree cannot be rem
dered except by giving the Southern
Pacific railroad the 100000
worth of Oregon timber which JudgI
Wolverton has decided belongs to the
people.
What effect the contention from
Oregon representations to the court
will have cannot be known. The de-
partment of justice, which is repre-
senting the people in the suit, Is
amazed" and doubtless the justices
of the supreme court, who are to rem
Ger the decree. will be amazed.
Whether or not the oregon position,
as the Oregon Legislature has present
ed it. will exercise such an Influence
as to turn the case against the peo-
pie after the suit seems virtually
won. remains to be seen.

ed this country by driving the
new banking and currency leg
islation through congress. They
harp about hard times and try
to faSten blame for war condi-
tons upon the administration
but they never explain the sad
plight the country would have
been in had it not been for the
new currency legislation.
If Henry ClewS, New York
financial writer. may be relied
upon. the new banking law has
been of splendid usefulness and
is now one of the chief causes
of improving conditions. The
following is from the Clews
review of April II:
Had il not been for the war. there
Is no doubt that this country would
today have been enjoying period ol
marked recuperation and prosperity
The next important source of i'm
provement, also a comparatively ST.
lent one, is the working OF the new
federal reserve system. This is hav
ing helpful effect upon business and
credit operations, Our banking sys'

cies. Funds are plentiful to good
borrowers. and II interest rates art
high. it is not due to home condi'
tions, but to forces abroad beyond
our control. The United States i.
now the only free capital market il
the world. Foreign nations are com.
ing to us for financial assistance
and considering adverse conditions
the amount of new capital issues IL
this country is surprisingly large
and demonstrates our healthful re.
Operative abilities. For the salts
factory monetary conditions at home
and the confidence thus inspired the
new federal reserve system is very
largely responsible.
The foregoing is from a man
who speaks from the viewpoint
of big business and who has
never been friendly toward the
progressive forces with which
the president is associated. He
evidently does not overstate the
case for the new banking law.

CURRENT THINKING
ACTION WITHOUT
PARALLEL
(FrOm the Portland Journal.)

Does oregon want the Southern
Pacific railroad TO win over the peO.
pie in the suit for forfeiture of the
railroad grant lands?
Or does oregon want the people
to win?
It has remained for the Oregon
state senate to take the side of the
Southern Pacific and array itself
against the government in that great
suit. 1t passed a resolution which is
a request to the United states su-
preme court TO decide the case in fa-
vor Of the Southern Pacific. Here
is the vital section in the resolution;
Whereas, it is of vital importance
to the development Of the entire
state Of oregon and the several coun-
ties in which said granted lands are
located, that such lands should not
be withdrawn from taxation, but that
they should be disposed Of for settle
ment and development under the
terms OF the original grant"
1t seems unbelievable that a branch
Of state legislature could have taken
such action. The resolution requests
that a decree be rendered under
which the lands will be disposed Of
under the terms Of the original
grant" That is a request for them
to be disposed OF by the railroad
company. That is a request for the
supreme court to hand down decree
for the railroad to sell them, as pro-
yided in the original grant, and, IN
turn. that means that the decree
should be against forfeiture.
The house refused to agree to the
resolution. But, at o'clock on Sun
day morning Of the last session, at a
time when house members were oc-
cupied with other legislation, the
measure with an amendment was
slipped through.
But the department Of justice at
Washington, which is handling the
peoples side Of the suit, Is amazed"
at the amended measure, for even Is
amended, the measure demands terms
that can only be granted by deciding
the case in favor Of the railroad.
Again, The Journal asks, do the
people Of oregon want the Southern
Pacific railroad to win this suit? Is
the request OF the oregon legislature
for the supreme court 10 hand down
a decree favorable TO the railroad
the request Of the people Of Oregon

wagons and the auto provoked a
clash of the attorneys. Judge Ben
nett and Judge Fee objected strenu-
ously when Mr.. Gagen was asked to
designate on the map where he saw
the wagons and autos. The fact
that drawings were sketched there
to represent the location of the We
hicles was held TO be leading and
suggestive by the plaintiffs attorneys
and Judge Phelps upheld their OBJ
lection, ruling the map out until the
drawings could be erased.
Boys Mentality Affected.
The plaintiff rested its case yes
terday afternoon shortly after
O'Clock and much Of It's concluding
testimony had to do with the effects
of the accident upon the boy. Mrs
Twitchell, his mother, testified that
the injury to his head had impaired
his mentality, stating that before the
accident he was reading in the third
reader and that after it, 1t was me-
cessary to teach him the alphabet
again.
DR.. r. f. Ringo of this city and
DR.. C. ]. Smith of Portland testified
as to the injury and It's effects They
explained that the skull had been
fractured at the base. Both thought
it probable that the effects bodily and
mentally would be permanent though
they qualified their statements by
saying that only time could tell.
Two more witnesses, d. b. Waffle
and Mrs. Boyd, testified yesterday
afternoon to noticing auto tra Ks on
tie pavement on the east side of the
street just after the accident and
also Of noting the diagonal tracks
which were heavier and apparently
made by the wheels skldding after
brakes mad been applied Mrs. Boyd
also testified that John Play who
swore he was an eye witness, came
to her house after the accident, to
wash his hands.

TAKE THEM AT THEIR
WORD

TN an advertisement for the
American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. appearing
in a recent issue of Life the fol-
lowing statement has been
noted:
More than half of the wire
mileage of the Bell System is
underground out of the way of
storms. The expense of under
ground conduits and cables is
warranted for the important
trunk lines with numerous
wires and for the lines in the
congested districts which serve
a large number of people"
Since this expense is so meri-
torious, according to the adver-
tisement of the company, why
not invite this corporation to
place its wires in cables under
ground, at least on Main
street? Why not invite the ell
ectric company to do the same
thing? Then place cluster
light poles at regular intervals
along the street. 1t would be
a nice step forward for Pen
dleton.

THE VALUE OF HARMONY

n N an attempt to explain
the Joker resolution passed
by the legislature in ref
erence to the Southern Pacific
land grant case the Oregonian
walls about reservation" 1t
does not want the government
to win the suit against the rail-
road company because the land
would be taken from use. The
fact the land has been held in
cold storage for a half century
by the railroad company does
not bother the Portland paper
in the least. 1t is only when
public resources become con-
served in the interests of the
people that the Oregonian wor-
ries. The explanation made
by the Oregonian makes it per-
fectly clear why the resolution
was rushed through. It was a
great stroke of business and
shows the value from the
Southern Pacific standpoint
of a policy of harmony around
the state house.

Curtail Road Advances.

The state highway commission
has advised towns that, in view of
the uncertainty of the legislative
will regarding highway aid, no ad-
vances i'll road work should be
made until the legislature decides
upon its policy. Even after that,
no work may be advanced by the
county highway commissioner
without the consent of the state
highway commission, which will
only be granted on the ground that
advancing the work is necessary to
save the work already done, or that
doing so produces a considerable
saving i'll expenses.
Numerous requests have been
made for information as to whether
in case a town borrowed three
times the amount available in the
town and pays it into the county
treasury the highway commission
will consent to having the work
done i'll 1915 instead of 1916, as
the states contemplate, the town to
be reimbursed from the country
and state treasury when the funds
from the county and state are
available i'll 1916.
In view of the present uncer-
tainty as to Legislative action es-
pecially in regard to the amount of
the state highway appropriation
for 1916, which it has been sug-
gested shall not exceed $50, 900
while applications already received
indicate that state aid requests will
exceed 81, 500, 900" says the com
missions letter" the Wisconsin
highway commission feels that it
is not justified i'll advance Of definite
legislative action in allowing any
1916 construction to beperformed. ;"
If the legislature materially de-
crease the state aid, nearly all coun-
ties will receive very much less
than the amount applied for, says
the commission.

HURLEY l3, WAKEFIELD 9.
The Second Game of the Season,
Played With Wakefield,
Goes to Hurley.

In their first appearance on the
diamond this year Wakefield went
down to defeat at the hands OF
Hurley last Sunday on the home
grounds. Thirteen of the local
men crossed the pan during the
fraCas and nine for Wakefield. The
visitors were strong with the errors,
which in great measure detracted
from the good qualities of the
game. This may be attributed to
the fact that it was their first
game. Their pitcher, Morris, gave
good account of himself and with
the proper support no doubt would
have come closer to landing the
bacon.
Hurley was the first to score,
getting three in the third frame.
Three hits were gathered off
Morris i'll this inning, one of which
was a bagger by Secor, who
was put out at third in attempting
to stretch it. Another run follow
ed i'll the next frame and then there
was nothing doing until the seven
til inning, Secor was again the hero
in this inning, getting a home run
with two men on. Four hits and
an error netted Hurley six more in
the eight.
Wakefield had all goose eggs un-
til the fourth inning, when they
registered three times on four hits.
Boniosh, who was on the mound
for Hurley, worked himself out of
job at this stage of the contest
and also worked himself out of a
berth on the Hurley team. He
went to the bad, which he said was
on account of a sore wrist, was
jerked and succeeded by Erspamer.
Wakefield got eight safe ones off
Erspamer during the balance of the
session, netting them six runs.
Following is the tabulated score:

Ore Rates Are Raised.

The dock charges of FIVE cents
per ton made by the railroads that
deliver ore from the ore ranges to
the ports of Escanaba, Marquette
and Ashland will stand. A ruling
was made on that point by the in
terstate commerce commission
The commission justifes the ore
carrying railroads in imposing an
additional charge of FIVE cents a ton
for dock service. The old rate
was 40 cents and the dock charge
which is held to be an increase, has
