STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES

Your money back if you want it is
the way in which Daniel j. Fry, the
popular druggist, is selling Mi-o.na, the
great dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi'o.na
has so much merit and is so almost in.
yariably successful in relieving all
forms of indigestion that he ran but
little risk in selling under a guarantee
Of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspepsia.
Mi.o.na will help you. If it doesn Z,
tell Daniel j, Fry that you want your
money back and he win cheerfully re.

A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses Of Mi.o.na and
its continued use will soon start you
on the road TO perfect digestion and
enjoyment Of food.
Mio.na has been 80 uniformly sue.
cessful that every box is sold under q
positive guarantee to refund the money
IL II does not relieve. What fairer
proposition could be made.
Daniel j, Fry gives his personal
guarantee Of "money back IL you want

volumes for the merit of the remedy.

THE WAR NOW BETWEEN DIPLOMATS

There is but little fighting comparatively in the war
zones What there is is mostly in Serbia and compared to
some of the other clashes it is trfng At the same
time however, the diplomatic battle being fought is the
hardest and most hoty contested Of any since the
started 1t may be that the final outcome of the war de-
pends almost entirely the outcome Of this diplomatic
battle 1t is indeed possible that this contest Of brains
will be the that will finally lead to the gateway of
peace.
Little Greece is at present the most important country
in Europe as on her action depends that Of all the
ring nations and each and all Of them making most
violent love to her. Into whose she will fall is the
question that is making all Europe wait with bated breath
for the answer.
Rumania is next in Importance and she too is being
wooed most ardently by the diplomats of all Europe
Should both Greece and Rumania go the way, it
would be almost fatal those they decided against and
especially should they decide against Germany and her
allies for this would give the French and English free
hand in the Balkans and at the time force Greece
into the war on the side of the allies.
Germany would class her as an enemy and the same
thing would happen if Rumana should give the Russians
passage through her territory.
This would be looked upon an inmical act, and so
she would be forced into the war on the side Of the allies
1t really looks though the beginning of the end is in
sight in the Balkans.

A Railroad Rumpus.


salem, Ore, Dec b, 1919
Mr.. Editor;
L have read your editorial concern
ing the land controversy between the
state Board and the Southern Pacific
railroad and 1t was a masterpiece and l
snail not try to add anything either
pro or con but | regret that such CON
troyersies arise as they are generally
injurious to both sides. We all con
cede that we could not exist without the
railroads. They are an absolute neces-
sity and on the other hand the railroads
could not exist without the people and
and both ought to work in harmony for
their mutual benefit. My mind runs
bak to a controversy Of this nature in
Nebraska. Uncle Sam aided the U. z.
and B. u Nj. as well as other roads by
donating the odd numbered sections for
a width of ~ miles on eah side of their
respective roads. The U. I. ran up the
Platte valley and on to the coast. The
B. g NJ extended from Plattswmouth to
hearney distance of 100 miles. These
roads ran parallel and part of the way
so close that their land grants over
tapped and 1t was then left to the secre.
tary of the interior as to which road
should have the land and 1t was decid-
ed IN favor of the I. 7. as it was built
first but that the b. & NJ. might select
enough land elsewhere to make up the
shortage, and though this road was a
South Platte Institution they selected a
very small amount from two South
Platte counties and the remainder was
chosen from seven of the best sparsely
settled counties north of the Platte.
From Antelope county they selected
5I25O acres in the very best part of
the county. Enough to give homesteads
of lbO acres each to 359 families while
the nearest point to their railroad on
straight line from Neigh the ounty
seat was lo miles. The matter was
then taken to court to legallze the
translation and in 1879 IT was decided in

SOciety's Duty
to the Underworld

"Society's Duty to the Underworld y
was discussed last evening at the Uni
tartan church by Walter A. Denton,
As expressed by the Rev. R. +. Fischer,
the study of the unfortunate has been a
hobby Of Mr.. Denton, and therefore his
opinions are entitled to more than ord
mary consideration.
The prevention of crime and O study
of the causes and their removal by So
cicty in general is just as essential and
perhaps more so, than the detection of
crimes after committed.
Sentimentalists and those who go to
the penitentiaries to sympathize with
prisoners and urge their paroles, often
do more harm than good and eventually
cause restrictions to be placed on those
who really wish to help and who have
made study of prison conditions.
Mr.. Denton paid a compliment to the
Industrial commission for its work in
establishing a minimum salary of So a
week for girls working in stores, but
was of the opinion that more might be
done to help the working girl, as there
was nothing to prevent business
house from giving employment during
the apprenticeship period only.
Referring to the question asked some
time ago by Governor Withycombe as
to why the prison population was in
creasing and why so many young men
were sent up ON forgery charges, Nh.
Denton thought that the business man
was TOO easy with credits and after the
young man had been living beyond his
means, he finally attempted to raise
money on forged paper.
One Of the evils of the day was the
movies. The plays that brought out the
crowd were those in which the lower
passions were featured, or where the
characters take their lives in their
hands.
Society's duty to the underworld was
more in removing many present condi.
tions that lead to crime, and Mt the
same time, preventing crime, rather
than education. "rhe standard of sue
cess must be changed from dollars and
cents, to that of character" said Mr.
Denton.

and paid their taxes in full. The set
tiers afterward paid from $600,0O0 to
100000 including interest for these
lands but felt that they had enhanced
the value by improving the adjacent
lands. The company no doubt thought
they were right and the courts so de-
cided but the settlers were not pacified
They talked, reasoned, argued, cussed
and discussed. They agitated until they
actually came to believe that the rail
roads in general were manipulating
politics. Furnishing passes to legisla-
tors, congressman and other officials
and were not paying their share of

cited and finally matters outside of
railroads were brought in. The seed
of discord had been sOwn. 1t not only
sprouted but was growing rapidly. Like
prairie fire the more it was famed
the more it spread and in the early
nineties the harvest came.
An organization was effected and
while other matters were brought in the
railroad question was predominant.
Candidates were placed in the field and
school house campaign inaugurated.
The legislature was thereby elected and
the result was that railroad taxes were
raised. Passes virtually abolished, a
law passed by which a board of rail2
road transportation was elected and
more than all. The passenger rates were
reduced from three cents to two cents
mile. These legislators acted very
naughty, judging by a speech made by
a receiver of certain railroad recent
ly at st. Louis. The question now is,
who began the fight, who was the win
ner and who the loser, and how much
was the gain7

Santiam News: Vivid flashes of
lightning, accompanied by heavy peals
of thunder early Tuesday morning was
a very unusual phenomena for this time
of year. This was followed by some
hail and heavy rain, which was not so
unusual. The chances are that our
shortage in the annual rainfall which
was reported the first of the month
will be made up in short time if the
heavy rains of the past two weeks con
tinue much longer, as it only lacked
nine inches of being normal at that
time.
Roseburg Review: That approximate
ly 200O deer were killed in Douglas
county during the recent open season

there are still plenty of the animals
roaming in the forests of this, vicinity.
No shortage of deer for next season is
anticipated by the game warden.

If the editorial in the London Globe anent the action of

taton for president Wilson to jump on to England and go

cred Americas dignity in the eyes Of friendly nations
and of Americans themselves. It time that Wash

AS our dealings with England some very ugly
acts on her part have been largely "a display Of admir-
able literary style" the editorial is simply rather i'm
pudent fling an intmaton that England does not care
cent what this government does 1t praises literary
style but laughs at what it evidently thinks is our
cowardce.
The president should take the Globe at its word and
give England sample of something American besides
literary style A little embargo munitions and
food suffs would stop all interference with American
shipping and would also win high enconums from the

raised 20 acres of corn this year which

Golden Dent variety, well filled on the

ings secured a sample of the corn which
