TESTING OUT NEW ANTISEPTJCS

n OF the least important feature of the present
v war is the interest which has been concen.
trated on the effective treatment of septic
wounds. Attention has already been directed to
the use of hypochlorite solutions of Dakin and
Lorraine Smith, and to that of chloramine-T Of
Dakin Cohen. Daurresne and Kenyon. These sub
stances. while they possess strong bactericdal
properties have little no irritant or toxic action
in antiseptic strength, and have in consequence
found very general and successful application.
The defects of most antiseptics lie in the fact
that while they act chemically on proteins and so
destroy bacteria. they also affect the serum which
has itself powerful antiseptic properties. This
probably explains the large reduction in bacteri-
cidal action of most antiseptics in presence of
serum Furthermore. most antiseptics inhbit
phagocytosis and deprive the body of one of It's
most important weapons in combating local nfec-
tion An ideal antiseptic should therefore COM

absence Of deleterious effect on phagocytosis

without irritant toxic action. while stimulating

The Automobile Parade

The great ratification automobile
parade will leave the Armory at ESQ
on the afternoon of the second day,
Friday, June ID. Sheriff John A.
Wheeler will be the grand marshal in
charge of the parade. Local dry work
ers have been busy for several weeks
working out details for what promises
TO be the biggest affair of its kind ever
held in the capital city. In addition
to the great number of local citizens
who will have cars in line, all who
come from a distance by automobile
will take part.
The procession will be led by the
famous Jacky Band from the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station. The
cars in line will be appropriately deco
rated, and most of them will display
ratification slogans. There will be no
doubt in the minds of onlookers as to
the meaning of the parade.
As many as possible of the dele
gates who come by railroad Will DC
taken to the Lincoln Monument in
automobiles driven by local citizens
and by delegates with cars in the line.
Special street car service will be ar
ranged for to take all to the Lincoln
Monument who cannot go by automo-
bile.
At the monument it is planned to
take the convention picture after the
program. 1t is probable also that a
news feature film will be made of the
parade and the gathering at the monu-
ment. ,,

from one to a dozen or more automo-
biles will carry delegates and visitors
to the capital city. The more distant
places will also be we'll represented.
There will probably be at least one
automobile from every fair sized town
within loo miles Of Springfield. Some
delegate from even a greater distance
have cent word that they will make
the trip by automobile.
Hundreds of farmers from all ths
surrounding territory are expected to
take day or two off, and with their
families drive over to hear the famous

As many of the cars bearing delegates

CHAMBERLAIN SAYS aI
M'KINLEY DID AS
WILSON HAS DONE

In message to the Portland Jour-
nal. filed at Kearney, Neb., while he
is en- route to oregon to vote. Senator
George Il. Chamberlain makes a strong
plea for support of President Wilson
tomorrow. In his message he recites
that President Mckinley in 1898 did
almost exactly what President Wilson
has done this time. He says that on
October II, 1898, in Speech at
Boone. Iowa, Mr.. Mckinley said:
This is not a time for divided
councils. If | would have you remem-
Der anything l have said in these de-
sultory remarks, it would be to re-
member at this critical hour in the
national history that we must not be
divided The triumphs of the war are
yet to be written in the articles of
peace"
In his message to oregon voters
Senator Chamberlain further says:
And as oregon has so far played a
splendid part in this war why should
she not do her still farther duty and
grant ungrudgingly the presidents ap-
peal not for partisan purposes, but to
assist in formulating policies to meet
peace and war conditions so that there
may be no division President Mckin-
Iey's appeal was made i'm the closing
days of the spanish war.
President Wilson'S appeal is made
near the close of the present war.
The first was answered and why, for
the same reasons should the last not
be answered. The spanish Amert-
can war was mere child's play as com
pared with the present war. waged as
1t Is in defense of civilization itself
Those who now crticise Wilson APP
proved McKinley's appeal for unity OF
council between the executive and
congress.
