that platform, could not consistently
have recommended such matter for
congressional consideration. On all
matters proper for national considera-
ton in 1912. the progressive and regu-
lar Republicans agreed. Certainly
they agreed in the most important
ones, such as the tariff, and questions
affecting the business interests of the
country.
Essentials of Republican Platform.
The next Republican platform
should be limited to essentials. If
kept within these proper limits, it
need be no longer than the Ten Com
mandments:
Tariff.
/. Restore the protective tariff, and
thereby rehabilitate the industries of
the country.
Adequate National Defense.
2. Provide for adequate national de-
Tense, but not eXtravagant appropria-
tions.
Repeal of Wilson-La Follette Seamen's
Act.
3. Repeal the Wilson-LaFollet
Seamen's Act, which is driving our
American shipping under foreign re-
gister.
Merchant Marine.
A. Provide for a merchant marine,
which will enable our merchants to
reach the markets of the world.
Reduce Per Capita Cost of Govern
Ment.
5. Endeavor to reduce the per cap
tia cost of government. and institute
system of annual department bud
gets. Repeal existing laws under
which meddlesome commissions, do
minated by unframed men, are cper-
ating.
Sensible Regulation of Business and
Labor.
6. Modern business is complex and
needs for its free activity sensible
regulation. Business also requires a
freer movement of labor for its deve-
lopment. 1t is necessary, therefore,
for the federal government to devise
a plan for the distribution of immi-
grants coming to our shores, as well
as a plan for mobilizing and moving
the great armies of labor that are so
necessary to meet seasonable condi-
tons and varying trade requirements.
To carry out this plan. the transpor-
tation systems of the country should
be free to give special rates to labor
ers seeking employment. Labor needs
direct capital particularly in the pro-
ducing sect,uns of the country. and
plans should be developed, through &C.
operation and enlarged credit facili-
ties, to provide this capital and thus
develop the resources of all sections Of
the country.

less the corresponding potash comes
from somewhere.
1t can come from the soil, if it is
displaced from it's acid combination by
another element that will take its
place and free it into the soil water.
Like potash, this element must be a
base. namely lime. Farmers do not
lime generally for corn. but under
present conditions, it is essential. Do
ing so will insure the crop. without
adding to its cost.

Pfahler Is Arrested
On Bishops Complaint

Portland, Or, Feb. g. Charles B.
Pfahler, aged 70, former secretary to
Bishop scadding, of the Episcopal
diocese of Oregon, was arrested by
sheriff Hurlburt today on complaint
of Bishop Walter T. Summer. Pfahler
is charged with having destroyed the
books and records of the diocese i'm;
npdiately after the death of Bishop
Seadding.
Pfahler collapsed when arrested and
was in such serious condition that he
could not be taken to the county Jail
Immediately. He admitted destroying
the records. He did it, he said, in the
mist Of grief over the death of his wife
and the subsequent death of the bishop.
Soon after Bishop Sumner succeeded
to the vacancy caused by the death of
Bishop Scadding Pfahler disappeared,
and then it was learned that the
records had been destroyed. Pfahler
returned recently from California. In
the absence of the records it is impos,
sible to determine if all the church
money has been accounted for.

Daniel ]. Fry Has Such Faith In This
Dyspepsia Remedy That He
Guarantees 1t.

One Of the greatest successes in the
sale Of medicine has been achieved by
Mi.o-na, the standard dyspepsia rem
edy, and its sale is increasing so rapid
ly that Daniel j. Fry, the popular drug
gist, has hard work to keep stock on
hand. 1t is very popular with bankers,
ministers, lawyers and others where
business or profession keeps them close
ly confined, while those who have
brought on indigestion through irreg-
ular eating, worry, or other causes,
have found relief in this reliable
remedy.
Mi.o-na comes in tablet form and is
sold in metal box especially designed
for convenience in carrying the medi-
cine in the pocket or purse. 1t is pleas
ant to take, gives quick relief and
should help any case, no matter Of how
long a standing. This remedy has been
so uniformly successful that Daniel j..
Fry will in future sell Mi.o.na under a
positive guarantee to refund the money
if it should not prove entirely salts
factory. No other dyspepsia medicine
ever had lsrge enough percentage Of
cures so that it could be sold in this
manner. A guarantee like this speaks
volumes for the merit of the remedy.
There is no time like the present TO
do thing that ought to be done. If
any one has dyspepsia, today is the best
time to begin curing it.

Renewed Decline In

the perplexity with which everyone
was impressed at conflicting state

garding the latest German attitude to-

stock market today. The renewed de-

pressed one view; the sharp recovery
after a half hour of weakness ex-
pressed the other, while the uncertain
movement afterward suggested the in
ability of the market to discover what
the position actually was.

DR.. ]. W. Smith Talked
On Feeble-Nmded Problem
at City Library Last Night

DR.. j. n. Smith superintendent of
the state institution for the feeble
minded, expressed several advanced
views on the feeble minded proposition,
in his address last evening at the city
library.
One of his radical suggestions, and
one that has the support of all physi-
clans, is that if feeble minded people
were not permitted to marry. feeble
mindedness would disappear within
two generations.
In discussing the criminal side of the
question, DR.. Smith said that one-half
of the expenses of the criminal courts
were incurred in trying cases of petty
thieyery, committed by the feeble
minded.
Sustaining his position regarding the
marriage of the feeble minded, he cited
the fact that fully so per cent of feeble
mindedness is hereditary. A person may
become feeble minded due to pneumonia
or alcohol, but their mental condition
would not be transmitted to their chill
dren Those who are born with feeble
minds, transmit them invariably to
AhNli Nnllultu.
DR.. Smith suggested remedy that
has been attracting the attention of
several eastern states, one that has
caused much diverse discussion. that of
the sterilization Of the insane. Feeble
minded people generally have large
families.
The present method of handling the
insane is very unsatisfactory and an.
pears to be making it worse Under
the present system, children can bc
taken away and are not committed
There seems to be no system of commit.
ment' similar to that of the state hos.
pltal, and patients come and 90 at tbc;r
will. ''''i'
Another statement which indicates
that the feeble minded proposition has
not been handled intelligently. is tbe
fact that feeble mindedness is becoming
more prevalent than in former times
possibly due to the fact that formerly
the weak minded died from lack of care.
The lecture was interesting tbronpb.
out and indicated that the doctor lad
been student Of this all important
question, one that will eventually have
to be met by Legislators within the next
few years.

LONDON PAPERS
ASSERT AMERICAS
AID NOT DESIRED
Germany and America Are
Thought To Be Nearing
Break In Relations

London, Feb. j.-Reports that Ger.
many and America are near rupture
in relations were displayed prom
inently in London papers today. Sev.
eral, however, recalled that when there
were similar reports previously, one
side or the other followed them with a
conciliatory move.
The consensus of opinion was that
physical participation by the United
States ON the side of the allies would
be undesirable because it would cut
off a source of ammunition supplies but
the papers agreed that moral partici.
patton would be of great value, how,
ever.
Amsterdam dispatches said prices on
the Berlin bourse dropped heavily on
reports that break is impending
Several Berlin papers were said to
have pointed out that a break in diplo.
matte relations would probably be fol-
lowed by war; and they expressed the
hope that the government would con-
slider where the nation is drifting.
