bright-eyed and full of energy again.
Thousands of Texas mothers are
praising California Fig Syrup. One
Of the most enthusiastic Of them is
Mrs. Henry Moreau, Jr.. 2416 Wyom-
ing Street, San Antonio. She says:
Prom the very first my little girl,
Madeline, seemed to have trouble
with her stomach and bowels. 1t had
me terribly worried. I was just
guessing and trying things until
mother told me TO give her California
Fig Syrup. 1t cleared her trouble
up in the shortest kind of time, and
started her TO gaining weight. Now
she is the picture of health, as you
can see BY her photograph"

so you'll get the genuine, endorsed by
physicians for over 30 years.

LEADING NEWSPAPER MAN IS DEAD.

The death of Edgar B. Piper at the age of 6S removes one of the most capable and successful newspapermen ever developed in the Northwest. Teddy Piper began his newspaper career boy in the mechanical department. He missed no chair of editor-n-chief Of the Oregonan, gener- ally regarded the greatest of Northwestern newspapers. More than thirty years ago he was editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Before that he political reporter and writer on the 0regonian and usually "covered" the legis- lative sessions at Olympia and Salem for his paper. When Senator George Turner and asso- eates sold the Post-Intelligencer to Senator John l.. Wilson about quarter of a century ago, MT. Piper, who had been it's editor, returned to the Oregonian the right hand man of Col. Harvey Scott When the latter died eighteen years ago, MT. Piper succeeded him as editor-in-chief. and he remained in that position until his death. When Henry M. Pittock principal owner of the oregonianS died he turned the management and control of the Oregoniah to trustees for a considerable period of time, designating MT. Piper the manager and editor of the paper. His stewardship, all of his work faith full and able
 MT. Piper was man of large abilities and he complete master of the technique of news paper making and publishing. He thoroughly grounded in the best traditions of his profes- sion He was always loyal to his paper his readers and to principles His friends have the consolation of knowing that before going to his final rest he lived ripe and full life He did his duty always and he gave the best that was in him.

SYMPATHY FOR THE BEREAvED.

When Mrs Reed left Juneau with the body of her distinguished husband to join his other relatives in the country where he lived his younger years she took with her the profound sympathy of the entire community. The whole Territory of Alaska with her and the other relatives of the dead jurist.
 On her sad mission, the bereaved widow has such soaee as comes from knowledge that her husband had lived his allotted three score and ten years not in vain. He died full of years and honor. He gave service to his country and his fellow of very high order, and passed on to his reward without stain reproach.

She Knew the Answer
More or Less True

The wedding ring may be plati- these days is just plated with hap piness.
 Bobbed hair may be less trouble ! than the flowing locks used to be, but the bald head still is the only one that requires no fooling with. You can understand why men. being men, will fall for beauti- full but dumb Dora, but why some men have married the wild cats they have is simply beyond com prehension.
 It is asking too much of ehil- dren to demand that they love, honor and obey parents who do nothing but try to cramp their style.
 At least the can opener doesn't cost anything like as much as the rolling pin, flour sitter, bread and cake pans and other kitchen ne- cessities used to.
 The impression a lot Of the young people give you is that they would simply die of ennui if dane- ing never had been invented.
 Nothing can feel more neglected than a bride who hasn't been kiss ed for half an hour unless it is her nose that hasn't been powder ed for 15 minutes.
 The question lot of families have to decide is whether to put their money in the bank and be rich or to spend it all (and then some) and give the impression they are.

A SUPER-GRAND JURY.

The announcement that the Senate campaign expenditures Investigating committee has notified all Presidential candidates to appear before it and testify to their expenditures for the Presi- dential nomination and to designate some one to act agent to make reports of expendi- lures, etc. is coroboratye of the contention that the Senate is becoming a super-Grand Jury first and a lawmaking body afterward
 This illustrates the tendency of governing bodies to seize power if the chance is offered. This committee has already proceeded far beyond the intentions of the Senate when it created 1t. This new step places a sort of Presidential candidate censorship in the hands of few Sen ators who have already shown disposition to make all the political capital possible out of the position they occupy. Senators on this committee have not found it beyond them to color the ? committee hearings in such way as to affect the standing of clean people. It might very we'll that accident, temporarily occupying a seat in the Senate, might in effect disqualify a leading aspirant for the Presidency to satisfy a personal grudge petty ambition notwithstand- ing that he would have substantial basis for his action.
 The Senate would not have to go much further to make itself a nuisance Its meddle- someness is already causing lot of irritation

 Except that it lasts but one day, town meet ing ill a New Hampshire village is a bigger thing to it's locality than Mardi Gras is in New Orleans.

It has been looked forward to, groomed for almost much a girl prepares herself for junior ball. For business takes as keen interest sporting event.

 No one has to appeal to the ctizenry to go to town meeting. The populace focks to it with all readiness. The town meeting is a time for the transaction of all important business, for n- struction in the state of town aafrs, all of which should be of sufficient interest to bring out all voters. But the added interest supplied by the picturesque characters who insstently want to know what and why and who, make it mighty hard for any to remain at home when matters of such consequence are being brought forward

Sweated Statesmen.
Dayton News.)


 Senators live at high pressure Men who go to the Senate usually well along in years. The fact that eighty-three Senators have died in office in the last thiry-fve years is not surprising. That means an average expectancy for Sena torselect of forty years. Since their average age when first elected is undoubt- edly than fotry that does not seem at all bad The air of the Senate chamber cannot be as deadly it's critics saying.
 .- Nevertheless, in this day of scientific ven tilation, there is no excuse for not having the best of air in the Senate at all times. The Sen ate is discussing alterations in the chamber with this end in view. Why not? And while the Senate is about it-and the House should do the same-there is why the chambers in which they work should not be artfcially cooled when Congress is in session in the muggy part of the Washington year.
 Both measures, the better ventilation and the refrigeration, would add to the efficiency as well the comfort of the lawmakers It would be a paying investment.
 Readers will note that in this discussion we have cracked no jokes about the bad air dis pensed by the long-winded statesmen. This has involved some self-restraint Most jokes a habit and the habit of this joke is hard to break We rather proud to have resisted it for once.

Those disgruntled Californans who are trying to organize bolt within the Democratic Party with third party candidate for President as an objective admit by their acts their conviction that Gov. Smith will be the Democratic nominee and they indicate clearly that they fear that he will be successful at the polls in November If there danger of the election of Gov Smith politicians who oppose him would not think of bolting and thus destroying their stand ing within the party.
 It is creditable to Senator Reed that he would have nothing to do with the movement and tt .Josephus Daniels that he has refused oppor tunity for revival of his picture in the papers

These Days of Days.
(Boston Herald.)

The days of days are coming the time in which certain periods dedicated to some worthy class. We shall have clean up day, pay-up day dress-up day, mothers day, fathers day, chd-welfare day, week for this and week for that. Like camp meetings and Billy Sunday revivals, they probably accom- pish something, but in the absence of accurate follow-up checking the precise extent of the eff fleets is difficult to ascertain.
 The psychologists tell us that when physical stimulants applied constantly the sensations and the reactions become less and less pro- nounced. Is not that likely to be the case with some of our countless days? They are all for excellent causes. They have intelligent persons behind them. They to have temporary effect. Whether they impant the essential spirit of their promoters is perhaps open to question: Mothers day has had at least one minor and incidental conseqeunce - 1t has popularized the Whistler Mother and made mother poetry more popular.
