LISTER
AFTER
TOGA :?

How Washington politics looks
at present to strictly outsider
may be gathered from an article
sizing up the situation written by
the Portland Oregonian's political
expert.
Here are excerpts from his let
ter to his paper:
That Gov. Lister may take
advantage Of seeming disaffection
in republican ranks to become
the democratic candidate for
United States senator next year is
the report that has been repeated
about Olympia this week.
Turner After Place.
'In spite of opposition from
the organization, ii Is apparent
that Mr.. Poindexter can count on
the support of a considerable
number of voters of independent
leanings, especially in Eastern
Washington. Thus whether he
should be nominated or defeated
in the republican primaries, the
democrats see strong chances of
a division in party's ranks.
This situation is the cause of
the talk of Gov. Lister as the DEM
ocratic candidate for senator.
That Gov. Lister could obtain
the nomination of his party for
the senate without a fight is not
certain. Ex-senator Turner of
Spokane, narrowly defeated by
second choice votes for the nomi-
nation last year, served notice
Immediately thereafter that he
was in the race for Mr.. Poindex-
ter's seat, and there has been
much talk of S. j. Chadwick,
judge of the supreme court.
GovernOrship Has Bearing.
Whether Gov. Lister finally
gets into the senatorial scramble
probably will depend largely upon
whether the democrats can find
a strong candidate for governor.
One story has it that David S.
Troy, ex-state senator of Jeffer-
son county, was to be taken into

the state administration as com
missioner of agriculture and In
cidentally as a possible candidate
for governor.
what Ole Hanson Of Seattle
will do is another question that
has been interesting politicians
since Mr.. Poindexter's announce
ment OF his own candidacy was
made. Ideas differ as to details
of Mr.. Hanson's probable activi-
ties, but political observers are
unanimous in believing that the
course the Seattle man will take
will be whatever he decides will
inconvenience Mr.. Poindexter
most.
"W. Il. Humphrey. dean OF the
Washington delegation in the low
err house of congress, and ex-Gov-
ernor Mcbride are the men most
mentioned as candidates OF the
regular republican wing for the
senatorial nomination next year. "

Bisurated MagneSia
For Stomach TrOubl e

In these days of almost univer-
sal indigestion, dyspepsia and 9TH
err stomach trouble the recent an
nouncement by great specialist
that pure bisurated magnesia is an
almost infsllible remedy for near
ly all forms of stomach trouble,
will come as a welcome surprise to
all sufferers. A teaspoonful in a
little water Immediately after
eating, or whenever pain is felt,
neutralizes the excess acid. and in
stantly stops the fermentation
and pain. Those who use bisurat-
ed magnesia regularly for a week
or two usually find that the trou-
BILE has entirely disappeared, and
normal digestion is completely re-
stored.

twenty years no one was chosen
to fill his place. "Apathetic

twenty-year period from 1855 to
1885.
A very few new ships, OF old

Quickly Relieves
Without Distress

The congestion of waste and
refuse from the stomach, fer
menting in the bowels, gener-
ates poisonous gases that Oc-
casion distress and invite seri-
Gus illness. Health and COM
fort demand that this conges-
ton be speedily relieved and
the foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection
most people have to the vio-
lence Of cathartic and purga-
tive agents is overcome by
using the combination of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin

der the name of DR.. Cald-

morning, without discomfort
or inconvenience. A free trial

serve REINDEER
MEAT ON TRAINS

! WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 81.
One may now order reindeer
meat for dinner on the way to
the Panama-Pacific expositions.
Five of the trans-continental
railways have made arrangements
with the chief of the Alaska divi-
sion of the bureau of education
to try out reindeer meat on the
bill-of-fare.
This is in line with the bu-
reaus efforts to establish a prof
table industry among the Eskimo
natives.
The meat of the reindeer is of
excellent quality and possesses a
flavor as fine almost as that of
venison.

estimate. There will be plenty
of water in the dam for the use
of farmers by the time the dry
season of July and August comes
on. More than $4,000 acre

Alabama, the Confederate priva-
teer built in an English shipyard
and manned largely by English
sailors. Not until 1872 were We
able to secure a settlement. In
1873, Spain threatened us over
the Virginius affair, and In 1880
France took possession at Panama
in calm disregard of the Monroe
doctrine.
Garfield made Hunt secretary
of the navy on the understanding
that the time had come to act.
Hunt appointed an advisory board
to prepare a report on the needs
of the navy; its recommendation
was: 38 unarmored cruisers, s
rams, torpedo gunboats, 10
cruising torpedo boats and 10
harbor torpedo boats. The small
vessels were to be of steel and
of the big cruisers IS were to be
of steel and 20 of wood. With
characteristic disregard of expert
opinion, congress on August s,
1882, authorized only "2 steam
cruising vessels of war . .
to be constructed of domestic
manufacture said YES
sells to be provided with full sail
power and full steam power" As
matter of history, the Maine
was actually the last of our naval
vessels designed Though not
built to carry sail. Congress
authorized the two ships, but
failed to vote money to build
them. 1t did. however, recon-
mend the appointment of another
advisory board. This board
promptly said that the navy must
have 8 vessels, one of 1000 tons
3 of $500 tons and 1 iron dis
patch boat of 1900 tons. In
March, 1883, congress provided
for. all but one of this list.

energy to a broad. constructive
policy for the furtherance OF Gu
genics." He suggests that they:
Promote research in heredity;
Disseminate a knowledge OF
the laws Of heredity;
Try to create a "eugenic con-
science" in the public:
Give the young people of their
acquaintance a chance to meet
and fall in love with suitable life
partners;
Further every means that will
remove some of the social and
economic bars to marriage and
parenthood, that now tells SO
heavily on the eugenically super
ior classes.

OUTLINE
EUGENIC
SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, April 81. -
Most of the so-called eugenic laws
which have been introduced in
the legislatures of 10 states this
winter have nothing to do with
eugenics, according to the Ameri-
can Genetic association.
Those that have some connec-
tion with eugenics are so made
quately drawn that their passage
is undesirable" declares DR.. w
q Fucker, assistant surgeon OF
the U. s. public health service,
wno as secretary of the -associa-
tons committee on education re-
views these matters in today's is
sue of the Journal of Heredity.

for the continued betterment of

laws which provide for the steri-

minded persons and SOME other
classes in degenerate institutions.
DR.. Rucker says people of this
kind should be kept shut up and
properly cared for, in which case
sterilization Is unnecessary, and
that Legislative tendencies in
this direction are little value to
the science of eugenics."
Neither the science of eugen-
les nor public sentiment is ready
for legislation putting further re-
strictions on marriage. so far as
those restrictions are strictly eu-

London, Feb. 16.-The countries
fighting against Germany, Austria and
Turkey up to the present time have
thrown only a third of their strength
into the field. To maintain this force
and to bring the remaining two-thirds
into action will cost $4,000, 900 900
during the current year. This an
nouncement was made in the house of
commons Monday by David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer.
who, with Winston Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, gave the British pub.
lie perhaps a closer view of the ma
chinery behind the great struggle Than
any that has been afforded since the
outbreak of the war.
Mr.. Churchill declared amid cheer
ing that Great Britain finally had de-
cided to clamp on every n of sea
pressure to choke off Germany's food
supply in retaliation for the German
submarine policy, while Mr.. Lloyd
George drew additional cheering by a
reference to loans to countries which,
he said, he expected would throw in
their lot with the allies. These coun-
tries the chancellor did not name. il
was the first time that a reference was
made in parliament of such expecta-
tions.
