Three big gr Sue; "Make me were This festival is of Puritan origin, though the custom of giving thanks for favors of the field and stall has prevailed as far back as written records go; with the Greeks and even the Egyptians in their feasts to Demeter and Iris, with the Romans in their Cerealia, and with the Jews in their Feast of Tabernacles. Coming down to more modern times, we read of public thanksgivings in Germany, Holland, and in England, the recollection of whose "Harvest Home," perhaps, inspired the Puritans to inaugurate the custom. Though pious and devout, our New England ancestors were yet rigid non-formists, hence their rejection of Christmas as a relic of popery; yet the yearning of the heart for a religious and family festival had to be satisfied, and so they instituted Thanksgiving Day, which they appointed after the gathering in of the harvest, when, the main work of the year being accomplished, families sundered might assemble in the homes of their elders and give themselves up to a short season of solemnity and mirth. The first Thanksgiving, according to the well-cited chronicler, Edward Winslow, was held in 1621, ten months after the landing of the Pilgrims, when, the crops being garnered, they felt spring up within their hearts a feeling of praise and thanksgiving. It lasted almost a week, and was participated in by King Massasoit and ninety of his braves, who were feasted and entertained for three days, the newcomers showing their guests their proficiency in arms, expertness in wrestling, etc. But we may imagine that the feelings of the Pale Faces were not wholly mithirful as they disported before these grim and stolid Red Men. To show their prowess in turn, "the Indians went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on the Governor and upon Captain Miles Standish and others," a fine contribution to the feast. But, although thus inaugurated, the custom was not thoroughly established for some time. Days of thanksgiving were appointed in the different colonies by different Governors for various occurrences—the safe arrival of ships bringing loved relatives, provisions, etc.; for seasonable weather, rain after long droughts, and safe deliverances from perils and foes. These, of course, were at different periods, but most of them occurred in October or November, after the harvest. On the day appointed, families being assembled, they remembered first their duty to thank the "Giver of every good and perfect gift" publicly, for His bounty during the year; and so repaired early to His house to observe public worship. But when the family and guests all met on Thanksgiving Day around the hospitable board, there was no lack, but a superabundance, of vias and tempting postties, game, turkeys and chickens, wholesome vegetables and inviting fruits. The good wives vied with each other in their preparation of toothsome delicacies; indeed, some of them were famed throughout the colony for their culinary skill. To be a good housewife in those days, and to look well after the welfare and comfort of her family was considered woman's vocation. Thanksgiving Day did not become a national observance until some time after the nation's separate life was assured. There was a general thanksgiving for peace in 1784, but none of a national character until our first President, by request of Congress, recommended one, in 1788, to celebrate the adoption of the Constitution. In 1795 there was a general thanksgiving for the suppression of insurrection in several States, and in 1815, one for the termination of our second war with England. But these were sporadic instances. Governors of the different New England States often issued proclamations for the observance of the day, until, between the church and state, it grew there into an annual festival. Twice during the Civil War, President Lincoln issued proclamations for general thanksgiving—in 1892 and 1893, because of abundant harvests and certain victories, though in the former year the war cloud was still without a show of a silver lining. Nov. 2, 1865, a national thanksgiving for peace was held, which was more generally observed, and perhaps more heartily, than any which had preceded it. Since then the custom has become annual—the President, followed by the Governors of the different States, issuing proclamations for the last Thursday in November.—Illustrated Home Journal. Making the Proclamation There is a good deal of form and ceremony about the making of the Thanksgiving proclamation. It is composed by the President himself and in most instances written out in his own hand. When this is done the document goes to the State Department, where it is carefully copied ```markdown ``` in ornamental writing that is almost like engraving on the official blue paper of that department. The next thing needed on the document is the great seal of the government. This seal is kept by the clerk of pardons and commissions, and it is very carefully guarded under lock and key. Its keeper will not produce it without a special warrant signed by the President, and an impression of the seal is quite a ceremony in itself. When the proclamation has been thus duly signed and sealed many copies are made of it by clerks, and one is sent to the Governor of every State in the Union. It is also given out then to the press agents, who telegraph it all over the United States. Each Governor, as he receives it, issues one himself for his State. Thanksgivings of the Revolution. There were eight Thanksgiving days appointed by the Continental Congress for observance among the colonies during the war of independence.

Philanthropists, honest politicians and office-holders are trying to improve the lot of the plain people. Your boy may become Governor, or even President. Most of the men who have held those positions come from the masses. Of course, there are ills. Forget them if you can. Remember that the sun shines on no land where there is so much of freedom, opportunity, joy, tenderness, sympathy and charity, as in America. Compare your condition with the average of any people on God's footstool and you will find that you, on this national holiday, as one of the millions, have cause to— treaty, which was held in 1784, the day was allowed to lapse until 1789, when Washington took his seat as President. The idea in these early days was to offer thanks on some special occasion. That our ancestors could find eight such occasions during the dark days of the Revolution shows that they were ready to be thankful on somewhat slim provocation. But it also shows that the gobbler shed their blood for the country as well as the men. Mr. Turkey's First Appearance. The real origin of Thanksgiving as a day specially set apart for prayer and rejoicing must be attributed to Gov. Bradford, the first Governor of Massachusetts colony. In gratitude for the plenteous harvest in 1621, following upon a period of great depression, he proclaimed a day of thanksgiving to be observed on Dec. 13 (old style) of that year. Four men were sent out in search of game. They returned loaded down with wild turkeys. Thus did the great American bird make his first appearance. The Modest Carver.

THANKSGIVING FANTASTICS. A Survival of the Guy Fawkes Day of Old England. Those who are not satisfied unless everything is explained have puzzled not a little over the growing custom of celebrating Thanksgiving day by parades of curiously clad boys and girls, tooting horns and accosting passersby. The theory most favored is that the custom is a survival of the English annual rejoicing over Guy Fawkes day. This is the explanation adopted by Prof. Brander Matthews and other scholars. Guy Fawkes lived in the last years of the sixteenth century and gained fame by being the best known member of a conspiracy which was formed to blow up the houses of parliament by firing nine barrels of gunpowder hidden in the miches have not come to you, nor has an triumphantly and truthfully say "I" When politicians speak of the pop- people they mean you and the millions as the Good Citizen, but it is all the In this grand country of ours.

When the plot was reevaluated by treachery the members of the plotting group were, in the pleasant manner of the day, hanged, drawn and quartered. Fawkes being the last to die. Parliament then decreed that the 5th of November should ever after be kept as a day of thanksgiving, because it was on the 5th that the powder was to have been exploded. It was the custom to build bonfires, to ring bells, to toot horns and especially to rig up a fantastic figure in gay rags and hang it as an effigy of Fawkes. This was paraded through the streets and consumed, after it had been hung up and well pelted, in the evening bonfire. In time the custom was added of selecting a party of young people to dress in ridiculous disguises to personate Fawkes, Rookwood, Winter and the other conspirators. Fawkes day has almost died out of observance in England. It is curious that its customs should live in this country by the mere accident that two national holidays come at about the same time. But, after all, it isn't necessary to have things explained. The boys parade on Thanksgiving day, as the girls do so many things, just "because."—New York World. 4 Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third—That he could not be depended upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire distress, when the blight of Bryanism and populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who, now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. TOPICS OF THE TIMES The safe bank is the bank whose president has no vaulting ambitions. It costs $212 to save a soul. This, of course, is aside from the rebate for backsliding. In Russia the offices will have to seek the men so long as the officers have to dodge the bombs. Some married women are so weak they even allow their husbands to keep part of their salaries. If President Palma has laid by enough to carry him over to the next chautauqua season he is all right. Santo Domingo is perfectly willing to discharge her present indebtedness if she can borrow the money to do it with. Caleb Powers is about to be tried again in Kentucky. Caleb may truthfully say that he finds this life full of trials. Prophet Smith of Utah has been pinched for having five wives. Here it pinches the average man's exchequer to have one. So far as we have been able to observe, despite so-called reform, football hair is still worn in the same violent style as formerly. A woman probably never appreciates her husband more than when he comes home and announces that his salary has been increased. At the rate they are sending bankers to prison there will only be a few left for Cassie Chadwick to do business with when she gets out. Physicians generally, we are told, oppose any change in the spelling of "phthisis." The extra letters are needed to represent its complications. Mr. Rockefeller warns men not to be slaves to their business. Still, not every man can make his business do his slaving for him as successfully as Mr. Rockefeller does. The Rockefeller family has held a reunion, during which the memories of a number of Rockefellers, who never knew what a pipe line looked like, were appropriately cherished. Some of the cement work around Pennsylvania's new capitol is already beginning to crumble. The graft killers of Pennsylvania have made a serious mistake if they have laid away their weapons. The girls employed in a porcelain factory in New Jersey went out on strike the other day because the manager ordered that they must no longer sing at their work. They had been in the habit of amusing themselves by singing popular songs, hymns and Sunday school music, but they may do that no more. Rather than keep silent they stopped work. It cannot be that the manager was married, else he would have known what result to expect from such an order. Japanese scholars are urging upon the people the importance of abandoning the old Chinese system of signwriting, or ideographs, and the adoption of the Roman alphabet for spelling Japanese words. They support a paper devoted to the propaganda, and report that the people are beginning to approve it. Inasmuch as English is taught in the primary schools in Japan, the coming generation will know the alphabet anyway, whether they use it in their own language or not. A young college graduate has been learning something about "practical" politics. He attempted to wrest the control of a New York assembly district from Tammany. When the campaign was over he found that the men whom he had trusted to co-operate with him had taken his money and hired out to the other side. They took his ballots, but did not vote them. The "detective" whom he hired to watch his rival turned out to be a lieutenant of that rival, and some of his professed followers stole his watch, chain and diamond scarf-plin. The head of a manufacturing concern keeps his eyes open to prevent waste. There must be no extravagance in labor, in time, in fuel, in machinery. He looks for the minimum of cost and the maximum of profit. It is a matter of business and he manages it along strictly business principles. How many farmers manage their farms along business principles? Too few hereabouts. And yet farming is as much the farmer's business as manufacturing is the business of the other. If the manufacturer trusted to luck, allowed his machinery to lie out of doors and rust, worked only when he felt like it and permitted his employees to work only when they felt like it, failed to keep books and figured everything on a dollars-and-cents basis, he would soon find himself a bankrupt. The farmers should avoid such mistakes, too. Hereafter the process of making American citizens will proceed in an orderly manner, and a certificate of naturalization will indicate more fully than ever before that its holder is entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizenship. The new law, which went into effect in the autumn, provides that all immigrants shall be registered at the port of entry, and that a certificate shall be given to each person. Not less than two years prior to his admission to citizenship the applicant for naturalization must appear in a United States District or Circuit Court, or in a Territorial or State court having a seal, a clerk and jurisdiction in actions at law and equity, and in that court he must renounce all foreign allegiance, and must swear that he is at least 18 years old and intends to become a citizen. Not less than two, nor more than seven, years later he may file in court a petition for naturalization, setting forth his qualifications for citizenship, verified by at least two persons who have lived in the United States for five years. At the expiration of ninety days the petitioner must appear in court in person, and submit to an examination with his witnesses. The clerk in the meantime has posted in a public place a notice of the application, with the man's name and the date of his petition. After the hearing, if the man has proved his ability to read, and if he has satisfied the judge of his identity and of his residence in the country for seven years, and of his abhorrence of all anarchistic doctrines, the final papers are issued, and he becomes a citizen. It will be seen that the process takes time, and that the public knows for ninety days of the intention of any alien to apply for citizenship. The gravest scandals under the old law arose from the habit of naturalization without previous notice to the public. Applicants have been taken into court by the score, and turned into citizens as fast as their names could be taken and the oath administered. Dr. Samuel J. Barrows, the well-known writer on social questions, contributes to Charities, the weekly journal of philanthropy and reform, an excellent account of the recent conference of the National Prison Association, which met at Albany and was briefly mentioned in the New York press. Vital topics were discussed at the congress, which, by the way, is declared to have been the most profitable and successful in the history of the movement for prison reform in North America. The attendance reached 400, and every delegate was a practical student of the problems under discussion. Wardens, prison chaplains, physicians in charge of convicts, social workers who regularly visit penitentiaries and Jails made up the bulk of the delegations from the States, territories and Canadian provinces. It was the consensus of opinion that the Jail system was the weak spot in the whole scheme of penal administration. The buildings and the feeding of the prisoners have shown much improvement, but otherwise there has been no advance in fifty years. The conference agreed upon the need of a uniform system of prison discipline and Jail administration. At the next meeting of the association a report is to be presented thoroughly covering the subject. One of the most important of the topics was the enforced idleness of convicts and prisoners. One expert declared the prisoner's greatest need to be the habit of industry, and to condemn him to idleness was to injure not only him but society as well. An extremely and varied exhibition of goods manufactured by convicts was a feature of the conference, and it served as an object lesson in the utility and good effects of prison labor judiciously regulated. The parole-system, tuberculosis in prisons, the attitude of wardens toward reform suggestions and experiments, classification and education of convicts, juvenile criminals and so on were on the program of the conference as subjects of study and debate. In several directions advance was recorded, but there is evidently plenty of room for further improvement, and the association is stimulating thought and doing good work along rational and scientific lines. The Land of Old Ages This is one of the bittest things we mothers have to bear when we get old. We have learned then that we can't help our children to lead their lives one bit better. There is not one single stone we can clear from before their feet be our old fingers ever so willing. With yearning hearts we see them making the mistakes we could teach them to avoid if only they would listen. We see them going through one experience after another, stumbling here, again hurting themselves against the same corner you hurt yourself so long ago, repeating all the world-worn mistakes, while we elders watch anxiously and may not even cry out "Take care." Our sons repeat the follies of their fathers; our daughters make over again all the mistakes of their mothers. It is very hard to sit in silence when you see them doing all the things that you did and then so painfully learned better. We feel that we could so easily point to the fair open road if our children would let us, but we are as useless to them as guide-posts to the blind. We must watch our children lose themselves in the tangle whose miseries we know so well and see them at last after long years of wandering find their way back home heart sore and worm—and all the time we can't help thinking it all needn't have been. That to us older mothers is the heartrending part of it. "Harper's Bazaar." The Hard-Working Member. "Say, doesn't our Congressman do anything but draw his salary?" "Oh, yes." "What?"

An English penny is so nearly 2 cents of our currency that the difference is negligible. It is given out that the South Metropolitan Gas Company, which does a large business on the south side of London, takes about 25 tons of pennies from the slot machines every week. These slot machines are used for the purpose of supplying gas to the poorer classes who are compelled to buy it in small quantities, a penny paying for about twenty-eight cubic feet. The company has perhaps 200,000 of these slot machines in operation. It becomes an interesting question how much money is represented by 25 tons of pennies. An English penny weighs approximately 146 grains. As a pound avoirdupois contains 7,000 grains, the pennies run very near to 48 to the pound. A long ton, or 2,240 pounds, would therefore make 107,520 pennies, and 25 tons would mean 2,688,000. These would be worth $33.70, a large sum, indeed, but hardly so large as the great weight would lead us to expect. In a year, however, the slot machines would mean payment for four billion cubic feet of gas, which is less than one-third of the amount annually sold by the company. At the same time it shows an immense value for a small retail trade to the classes that are so poor that they buy a penny's worth of gas at a time. In this case a slot machine supplies a real want, and while the poor many pay more for gas in such small quantities, they are at least enabled to purchase it in quantities within their means.—Louisville Courler-Journal. How to See Four Moons. A pretty experiment can be made with a hand mirror any night when there is a full moon. Hold the mirror so that the moon's image will be seen in it and you will be surprised to see four moons instead of one. One moon will be very bright, but the other three will be in a straight line and quite dull, one dull image on one side of the bright moon and the other two on the other side. Turn the mirror around slowly, still holding its face to the moon, and the reflections will seem to revolve around a common center. You can make the same experiment with any one of the very bright stars, such as Sirius, Venus or Jupiter, but with these there will be three images instead of four, as the number seen depends on the breadth of the object. The explanation is simple. There are two surfaces in a mirror, one in front and the other where the quicksilver is. The brightest reflection comes from the object itself, the others are what is known as "secondary images" reflected from the front to the back of the mirror and thence to the eye. The magic mirror never fails to excite a good deal of wonder and is an interesting experiment as well. **The Best He Could Say.** Goodley—The lines in DeRiter's new comic opera are exceedingly bright and witty.

SUBSCRIPTION. One Year, payable in advance.....$2,000 Thanksgiving will come next week, and will be duly observed according to custom, and never before have the people of Portland and Oregon had more to be thankful for, or to rejoice and take comfort in—for as to the thanks, that is of course, mostly a matter of form, and by most people is not considered at all. All our holidays, even Decoration day, runs principally to amusements, feasting and frolic, which are well enough if not overdone. Oregon and Portland have grown and developed more during the past year than in any preceding year, and there was never before so bright a prospect ahead for the state and the city, as now. In some localities there were partial failures of some kinds of crops; prices for some are not quite as high as their producers would like; there have been about the usual number of minor calamities and casualties, but on a comprehensive view of the whole situation few, if any people of like number have more to be thankful for than those of Oregon, and particularly of Portland. Perhaps, yes, indeed surely, the greatest one thing to rejoice over is the building of the North bank railroad. As the New Age has said before this will be of inestimable benefit to this city and is the principal cause of the great growth that has been witnessed. Next in importance was the consolidation of the city and suburban electric lines and the incorporation and financing of a company to build a system of electric roads through the Willamette valley. It is true that the actual building of these roads has not begun, or has not progressed far as yet, but the project is a "sure go," and building will be pushed forward rapidly next year. This is only one of several railroad enterprises that will within the next two or three years serve to develop Oregon "by leaps and bounds," and to an extent heretofore undreamed of. There will be two or three roads to Coos Bay, one or more roads from Portland to Tillamook, roads across Central Oregon and feeders and electric lines will multiply; and then we shall see Oregon and her cities boom, Portland of course most of al.. An actual beginning of all this has been made, the promise of speedy fulfillment is sure, and therefore Oregonians can hurry and be thankful. Industries are thriving, business is booming, the state abounds with plenty, and notwithstanding a few Democrats fill important offices the state, county and city governments are pretty well administered; schools and churches flourish; everybody who wants to work can get a job, and so almost everybody can be thankful on the proper occasion next Thursday. NOT BOUND TO BOURNE. The preamble to the primary nominating law says: "The purpose of this law is the better to secure and preserve the rights of political parties and voluntary, political organizations, and of their members and candidates." Yet the practical working of the law accomplishes just the opposite of this intention. It is destructive of party organization, and practically excludes all but rich men from attaining any important offices. It especially tends to disorganize and break up the dominant, or majority party, which in this state is the Republican party; and now the regular candidate for election to the senate by an overwhelmingly Republican Legislature is not a real Republican, as his record clearly shows. The duty of the Republican Legislature, notwithstanding this break and demoralizing law, is to stand on its constitutional rights, and to perform the duty imposed upon it by the constitution, which is a higher and more sacred law than the the U'Ren freak law; and to elect to the Senate a true Republican, one who in past emergencies has proved himself to be such, and a man with a high reputation, an unblemished character, and in every respect a true and worthy citizen. What member of the Legislature can honestly say that Mr. Bourne fills this bill? Can it be said that he stands for Republican principles—he who was an ardent supporter of Bryan and free silver, who defeated Dolph and Mitchell in succession, who compelled the state to go for two years without appropriations to pay a great amount of interest, who "help up" the Legislature to the injury and disgrace of the state, and who was the reputed custodian and disburser at his own pleasure and according to his own depraved tastes of large corruption funds? Can it be the duty of the Legislature to elect this man because by the lavish use of money he secured a slight plurality under a law gotten up by a crack-brained, third-rate country attorney? Yet the underlying intent of the primary law, that which intelligent men indorse and seek to have put into practice, is all right, but it is not operating right. A good law, working right, cannot produce such a result as—Senator Bourne! We cannot gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles, neither do we evolve a tasteless, wormy, worthless fruit from a good, well-cared-for Spitzenberg, or Baldwin tree. When a law produces a Senator Bourne, it needs fixing, somehow. The design of the law is good, but it needs looking into when we get for a senatorial candidate "a man of the fakir type, and a big purse," pouring out his money in all sorts of places and thus getting a slight plurality vote, and so becoming the farcal and burlesque representative of the party and the people of Oregon over a score of good, honorable, straight, clean, respectable, honest Republicans. Members of the Legislature must know, or can easily find out, that the people generally, their neighbors and acquaintances, honest, quiet, responsible, intelligent men of all kinds, do not want this man elected Senator and knowing this they are under no moral obligation to elect him. NEGRO SOLDIERS. The President on his return from Panama will be called upon to reconsider or re-investigate his action in arbitrarily dismissing three companies of colored soldiers, some of whom had served faithfully for many years, because a squad of them had been guilty of excesses resulting in a homicide, and their comrades, would not divulge the names of the guilty parties. It is not only colored people but many whites throughout the country who think the President's impulsive and precipitative action was wrong, and ought to be reconsidered. Evidently Secretary of War Taft thought so, for he suspended the President's order pending his return or until he could be heard from, but his reply indicates a purpose to adhere to his original order. We make no plea of justification or even of excuse for the guilty soldiers. If their identity can be established—and this would seem easy—they ought to be punished. But to punish and disgrace several hundred innocent men for the criminal acts of a few does not seem to be square with justice or to be reasonable. Does anybody suppose such an extreme penalty would have been inflicted on whole companies of white soldiers, if some of them had been equally guilty and the rest had declined to testify against them? Or, if this had been done would not millions of white people been figuratively up in arms about it? The President knows that it is a point of honor with soldiers private as well as officers, not to betray their comrades. White soldiers have never been punished for adherence to this unwritten rule, and to single out the Negro troops and make an exception of them is to draw the color line against them and to establish a stricter or different rule of conduct for them than for white soldiers. Why The case is the more previous because, according to report, not more than half a dozen men of the whole battalion subjected to disgrace really knew anything about the riot or who were engaged in it. What the disorderly black soldiers did for the most part, white soldiers frequently do. They are frequently getting into trouble and making a nuisance of themselves and nothing is done or said about it, beyond possibly a little garrison discipline; but it seems from this episode that Negro soldiers must be better behaved than white soldiers or be discharged in disgrace. For men engaged in service under the stars and stripes, there should be no discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude; a soldier should be a soldier just the same whatever his nationality, race religion or color; but in this case it certainly looks as if the soldiers concerned would not have been dishonorably discharged had they been white instead of colored. THE FOURTH STREET NUISANCE. Have you noticed the work on that new route of the Southern Pacific railroad, crossing the river up south of Portland and coming in on the East Side instead of by way of Fourth street? Have you noticed the diligent preparation being made by the company to take their trains off Fourth street and substitute electric cars for passengers only? Oh, you haven't No, nor has anybody else, although many months have passed by since the company's agent or attorney, promised or intimated that this would be done as soon as possible. It was not to be expected that the company would or could make the change completely, all at once, but it ought to be insisted on that it proceed to do so as rapidly as is reasonable and without any further delay. The mayor is right when he says that the traffic on Fourth street is "an intolerable public nuisance," and in calling on the council to abate it. If the council cannot do so, it can at least try, and force the railroad into the courts, which we think would be inclined to give the people relief. The city attorney has expressed the opinion that the old franchise holds good, but his opinion is not that of a court; and even if he is right about this, he is also of the opinion that the council can regulate the traffic on the street to any extent it chooses. If this be correct the council can prohibit the running of trains except during certain hours, and can make other regulations that it upheld would soon bring Mr. Harriman to time and force him to "get a move on" in the matter of removing his heavy trains and traffic to the East Side. The people of Portland has patiently borne with this "untolerable nuisance" quite long enough, and should lose no further time in making a strenuous effort to abate it. It is such impositions on the part of the railroads as this, that have aroused the people to demand regulation in many ways and control to a great extent, of railroads, and in the case of such men as Harriman this is absolutely necessary for their protection. Mr. Hill has always shown a disposition not only to be fair but generous to the public, and has been a great agency for the development of the country and the towns through which his roads pass, while Mr. Harriman seems to care nothing for the people's interests but rather seeks to antagonize them, and to act on the principle of "the public be damned." The council is making a mistake in not taking this matter up and doing all it can to free Fourth street from this noisy nuisance and intolerable incubus. The people demand it and the council is in duty bound to obey the people's command. Nobody who knows Frank Baker supposes his proposal to donate his printing plant to the state is inspired by any sentiment of gratitude or generosity. He isn't built that way. But having enjoyed a big rake-off from the printing office ever since he was forced out of it himself, and not being able to make terms to suit his avaricious desires with Mr. Dunniway, he seeks revenge by trying to injure or embarrass the new state printer. But we think the Legislature will not be disposed to aid Mr. Baker in his malicious design. If a plant is to be acquired it would be better to purchase a new one, and tell Mr. Baker to take his old outfit out of the statehouse. Mr. Dunniway is entitled to a square deal, and the state should see that he gets it, in spite of Philanthropist Baker. "And now comes the proposition that petitions be circulated asking the members of the Legislature to refuse to elect Jonathan Bourne to the United States Senate. This is a proper move and one that should be pushed to a successful termination. By all means let all possible steps be taken to prevent this state from being miserably misrepresented in that august body." What claim, will anybody tell, has Jonathan Bourne on the Republican party? And who can vouch that he is a Republican? He certainly was not the last time he was prominently in public view. It was nearly 12 years ago that Bourne held up the Legislature and defeated the will of the people—a far less excusable trick than it would be next winter to devise some means to beat him, and give him a taste of his own medicine. With 83 out of 90 votes in the Legislature it would seem that the party was entitled to a Republican Senator, instead of Bourne. What is needed in Salem next winter is a number of Republican "insurgents," enough to defeat Bourne. No wonder the proposition of Frank Baker to give anything of any value away caused a sensation. Does Mr. Harriman own this town? Ask the council. The president has started home from Porto Rico. Russian rebels have been denied an asylum in Finland.

F. will celebrate their 22d anniversary on the 19th of December at their hall, Second and Yamhill streets on which occasion they invite their friends to unite with them. The audience at the A. M. E. Zion church last Sunday night were treated with an instructive and interesting lecture on the incidents of the late war in Cuba by a member of the hospital corps. In glowing terms he related the many deeds of valor of the colored troops that had come under his personal observation and also related how on one occasion, "Teddy Roosevelt" through disobedience of orders would have been annihilated with a number of white troops, but for the timely support of Negro troops. The President demands that all Negroes shall form themselves into investigating societies and ferret out perpetrators of crime or else be adjudged guilty of crime and suffer punishment—a doctrine that has long been popular with Ben Tillman and others of his ilk. Now following in his footsteps comes a sargent of police in this city who declares because the Chinese are not to be seen on the street in large numbers that they are engaged in unlawful pursuits although he has to admit that he has no evidence of the fact. Truly the methods of reasoning employed by some of the favored race who happen to be entrusted with a little authority is wonderful and past the comprehension of common people. After an illness of over three months, Mr. Peter Lee passed from this life on Friday, Nov. 16th at 3:45 o'clock. The direct cause of his death was Brights disease. Mr. Lee was a native of Fockridge, Va., coming to Portland in 1844 and leaves a devoted wife and two daughters to mourn his loss, besides a host of friends. Mr. Lee will be greatly missed in this community. While not to a great extent a society man, he was one who found his greatest enjoyment in a happy home life, a man thoroughly domestic in his tastes, also one who could always be depended upon as a true friend. For 14 years he was in the employ of The Edwards Furniture Co. a tried and trusted employee. He was a charter member of Prince Hall Lodge No. 65 A. F. & A. M. The New Age unites with a host of friends in extending sympathy to the sorrowing widow and daughters. Ere another issue of our paper in accordance with established custom and pursuant to the proclamation of the President of the United States and the Governors of the various states, the citizens of this great commonwealth will celebrate Thanksgiving according to their several ideas and of some of the few things that the Negro should be thankful (?) we will enumerate a few: First. We should be thankful(?) for Ben Tillman, Gov. Vardeman, Senator Morgan and a few others of their ilk, together with their doctrines of the extermination of the Negro, formation of a white man's party, etc. Second. We should be thankful(?) that our President believes that in the case of the Negro, it is better that mctyamine innocent should suffer rather than one guilty one should escape. Third. We should be thankful (?) that in the Southern state a Negro accused or suspected of a crime should be lynched without the blessance of a trial or chance to establish his innocence. Fourth. While all these things are so, we should really be thankful that these are exceptions rather than the rule and that the condition of the Negro in the United States is steadily improving. ROOSEVELT'S HARSHNESS. Twenty-fifth's Gallant Record in Cuba Recalled From the New York Sun. In ordering the dishonorable discharge of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a Negro regiment, as recommended by Inspector-General E. A. Garlington, President Roosevelt has set a precedent which may be invoked in the future against some other regiment in the service if it should fail to inform against its black sheep. The conduct of men in the ranks of the Twenty-fifth at Brownsville on the night of August 13, 1906, was atrocious and called for long terms in a military prison, if not for the detail of a firing squad; but it is no new thing for soldiers "to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty," to quote from the report of General Garlington, who was baffled by the constricacy of silence and maintained that it justified summary discharge of the men of the battalion, the innocent with the guilty, the veterans of Caney with the raw recruits, the word is no extenuation. A soldierly recobi- tion of the house of killing and wounding cylillum, whom it is the duty of the soldier to protect, but should not honorable service be taken into account in inflicting punishment upon a whole battalion because some of its members have been blackguards and murderers, and others, from a false sense of comradship, have refused to testify in an investigation? The Twenty-fifth bore itself worthily in the Cuban campaign, vying with the white troops of General Lawton's command in fearlessness and efficiency. Colonel A. S. Daggett, who commanded the regiment in the assault on Caney reported to the Adjutant General that one battalion in which were Companies C and D, now with B the battalion which is to be dismissed in disgrace from the service, charged ahead of the line of Miles's brigade upon the stone fort, and that a private of D and another of Company H captured the Spanish flag. Colonel Daggett claimed the honors for the Twenty-fifth; but, although recognizing the good work of the regiment, General Chaffee decided that men of the Twelfth were the first to enter the fort. The record, however, showed that the Negroes behaved with great gallantry. Could not some exemplary punishment have been devised to teach the offending battalion a lesson, such as banishment for a probationary period to a remote post, for instance to Alaska? The assignment might have been hard on the commissioned officers, but were they altogether blameless for the sins of the men and the shortcomings of the non-commissioned officers whom General Garlington condemns in his report? President Roosevelt's estimation of the Negro regular is high. It is proved by h' order that Colonial Pitcher was correctly reported as saying that he did not care to be associated with Negro soldiers and would like to see them out of the service. The President believes that such a sentiment, if uttered by an officer who may be assigned to command a Negro regiment, merits punishment. But Colonel Pitcher. he is guilty, could be punished too harshly; and most people, we think will believe that the men and noncommissioned officers of the Twenty fifth not implicated in the murderous outbreak at Brownsville will be punished too harshly by dismissal from the army and disqualification to serve the Government in any civil capacity hereafter. The New Age indorses the following taken from the Washington (D. C.) Bee. Right you are Brother Chase: BRAVE SOLDIERS Elsewhere in The Bee will be read with interest the records of the colored soldiers who have been dismissed from the Army in disgrace. Mr Roosevelt is a combination of the executive, legislative and judicial power of this government. He exercised the three when he dismissed from the army the three companies of colored soldiers. His attempt to please the South has failed and he has successfully offended the North. The Bee would suggest that he run for a third term and see how dearly he is loved by the colored citizens of the United States. He should run by all means and test his popularity in this country. Jefferson Davis is more honored to day than Theodore Roosevelt. Benedict Arnold would have a monument erected to his memory sooner than Theodore Roosevelt. We have no tears to shed because we predicted its coming. We are not disappointed because we "told you so." The American colored citizen is of his soldiers and whatever the opinion of Theodore Roosevelt is of them amounts to but little. When he was going up San Juan Hill these brave men saved his life. It was at this battle the Negro soldier distinguished himself and demonstrated his superior ability to that of Theodore Roosevelt. Why should he not dismiss them in disgrace? Why would he not say to the American people that these are cowardly Negroes who had to be dismissed in disgrace. These are the cowards who deserved the honor of saving the day at San Juan Hill, but they must be dismissed in disgrace. Theodore Roosevelt has never forgotten. He never forgets. He is too small to forget. He remembers small things and never forgets the day of an unjust retribution. The colored citizen should not lose hope. They have friends among all classes and the day is not far distant when a just God will permit Ethiopia to stretch forth her hand again. In the next war the Negro troops will be needed again. They endeavored to do with them in war of the rebellion but necessity that knows no apology demanded that they be recruited. Mr. Roosevelt is President, but like Othello's occupation, it will soon be gone. He will have no one to mourn for him, not ever the South for whom he is doing so much. His mission is to save his army and he will read like Don Quixote and Sancha Panza. The colored American has no cause to despair. He should not weep, because justice reigns supreme. The Constitution of the United States has been violated and Congress must act or go out of business. F. L. BARNETT IS ELECTED. Chicago Municipal Judge at $6,000 Per Annum. DePriest Re-elected As County Commissioner, and Dr. Lane Goes to Legislature—Playing Politics. Chicago, Nov. 15—(Special to The Age) The Afro-Americans of this city and Cook county are jubilant over their political success, unparalleled in the history of America, in the recent elections. They had forced the Republican machine to nominate three Afro-Americans on the regular ticket and all three were elected. Ferdinand L. Barnett was elected a judge in the new municipal courts; Oscar De Priest was re-elected county commissioner; and Dr. Alexander Lane was elected to succeed Edward Green in the Illinois legislature. Chicago is setting a pace in politics which seems entirely too hot for Afro-Americans in other Northern cities to follow. The Democrats made a bitter and outrageous campaign against Barnett, whose job lasts two years at $6,000 a year. Race prejudice was excited by the wholesale distribution of infamous post cards and picturing a trembling white woman being tried in a court in which brutish, black, anthropoid apes, supposed to be Afro-Americans, were judge, counsel, jury and bailiff. These cards were labelled: "Defeat This! Vote the White Man's Ticket." These despicable tricks came near being fatal to Barnett's candidacy, for he was elected by a plurality of only 499. In all he received 87,516 votes. Oscar Dr. Priest, who has already served one term as county commissioner, received 95,694 votes, a plurality of 6.533. Dr. Lane was one of the three representatives elected from the First Congressional District and received 9,404 votes. HIS LEGACY. Life Insurance Brought Comfort Relief to Young Wide "Life-insurance agents," says ter in the American Magazine ministers teaching industry, a economy, and love of wife and it is a business, and yet through agent can obey the mandate, "Watherless and widows in the tion." "Last year, before Christmas working in a little town in South Korea. A man in the neighborhood under great pressure, allowed write him a policy for two t Mr. Barnett, who is now assistant State's attorney, was born in Tennessee, but has lived in Chicago most of his life. After finishing the course at the Jones school he graduated from the old Central high school, taught school in the South and graduated from Union College of Law. During the early part of his career as a lawyer he also edited The Chicago Conservator. In 1896 Charles S. Deneen appointed him as assistant State's attorney, in which capacity he is still serving. He has served in every department of the office and has sole charge of the habeas corpus work. In this he has been most successful, having secured from the Supreme Court several notable decisions clearly defining the law in habeas corpus procedure. He has appeared for the State in all of the extradition cases during the past six years and has been identified with the Dryer, Streeter, Hoch, the Benefor damusum cases and the recent case testing the constitutionality of the Juvenile Court law. He is the husband of Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Dr. Lane was born forty-six years ago at Lexington, Miss., but came to Illinois when eight years old and settled in Perry county, where he attended the public schools. He then went to Carbondale and entered the State school known as the Southern Illinois Normal school. After Mr. Lane had finished his normal course he was engaged as principal of the public schools in Carbondale, and after leaving Carbondale he came to Chicago and attended Rush Medical College and graduated from that institution with the degree of M. D. in 1895. For the past three years Dr. Lane has been assistant county physician of Cook county, besides having a large practice in the neighborhood where he lives. Raise Wages Voluntarily.

Life Insurance Brought Comfort and Relief to Young Widow. "Life-insurance agents," says a writer in the American Magazine, "are ministers teaching industry, sobriety, economy, and love of wife and child. It is a business, and yet through it the agent can obey the mandate, 'Visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.'" "Last year, before Christmas, I was working in a little town in South Dakota. A man in the neighborhood had, under great pressure, allowed me to write him a policy for two thousand dollars. His wife had protested vigorously at the time, saying that she needed a sewing machine more than insurance. "One day I heard that a man had been killed on the railroad, and although the accident made no particular impression on me at the time. I discovered during the day that the victim was the man I had insured. Immediately I hurried about and secured the necessary proofs of death, sent them in to the office, and requested that a draft for the policy be sent to me without delay. Less than a week after the funeral I went to the home of the widow with a draft for two thousand dollars. "She met me at the door with her baby in her arms. All about there were signs of deprivation, almost of want. "I did not reveal the purpose of my visit at once, and the woman talked tremulously about her husband. "I found these in his overcoat pocket,' she said, softly. She handed me a small rubber doll and a little package of nuts and candy. "He bought these,' she said, 'for the baby's Christmas.' Then she broke down in a torrent of grief. "Your husband sends you this for your Christmas,' I said, handing over the draft. I then explained it was her insurance money. "She thanked me. I said I was not entitled* to thanks. "She thanked the company. I insisted that the company was not entitled to thanks. "Thank your husband,' I said, 'for this is his legacy of love to you and to his child.'" RECORDS OF ENLISTED MEN Identification by Finger Prints Is Now Required. On Sept. 1 the system of personal identification prescribed on April 7 by the war department was placed in operation and a record is to be made of every man who may afterafter enlist or re-enlist in that service, says the New York Tribune. Circular 44 enjoins commanding officers to take such steps as may be necessary to insure prompt and complete compliance with the requirements of the order, and inspecting officers are charged to make special inquiry and report as to whether these requirements have been met. On Sept. 1 the outline figure cards previously in use were discontinued, and hereafter the complete identification record, consisting of finger prints, personal description of the soldier, photograph negative and one print of the negative, will be forwarded to the military secretary of the army. One of the most important features of this identification record is the impression of the fingers, as it is held that the finger prints of no two men are identical. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, that the finger prints should be clear and the ridges distinctly outlined. There are two kinds of impressions, "plain" and "rolled." The former is secured by pressing the bulb of the finger on the inked plate, with the plane of the nail parallel to the plane of the plate, and then on the paper in the same manner. A rolled impression is obtained by pressing the side of the finger on the plate and then rolling the finger from one side to the other. After the impression of each finger separately has been taken a plain impression of all the fingers of the right hand is taken at one time. The outline on the opposite side of the prescribed form is then filled up and the personal description completed by noting on the outline figure the principal identification marks. Upon completion of this routine the soldier is required to sign his name in the place provided for "signature of soldier," and after being photographed it is assumed that the means for his identification are as complete as it is possible for human ingenuity to make them. Damascus Being Modernized Damascus, whose pedigree is the longest of living cities, is losing its character. an enterprising Belgian company is cutting through it with an electric tramway and is sprinkling electric lights in its ancient streets. What is more, the motive power for these installations is derived from the harnessing of the river falls twenty-two miles off, so that no feature of the modern invasion is spared the place whence the Jew of Tarsus escaped in a basket over the wall. The British acting consul reports that three and a half miles of the tram line are already being laid. Meanwhile traffic on the Hejaz railway, which some day may reach Mecca, finds a convenient entrepot in the old-time emporium of the slow-moving caravan. Breakage.

ARD'S BREWERY and Bottlers of the lands of Lager Beer RBLUME" "COLUMBIA" AND BOTTLES THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Hugh Mercer was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1720. He was educated in the University of Aberdeen, became a physician, and was assistant surgeon in the army of Prince Charles Edward in 1745. He emigrated to America in 1747, served in the French and Indian war of 1755, receiving from the corporation of P h ladelphia a gold medal for his a physician, and was assistant surgeon in the army of Prince Charles Edward in 1745. He emigrated to America in 1747 served in the French and Indian war of 1755, receiving from the corporation of P h iladelphia a gold medal for his bravery in the expedition to Fort Cumberland. In 1775 Mercer drilled the Virginia militia, in 1776 the minutemen and in 1777 was appointed colonel of the Third Virginia Regiment. At the request of Washington, Mercer was chosen brigadier general by Congress in June, 1776, with the command of the flying camp. Mercer accompanied Washington in his retreat through New Jersey, led the column of the attack at Princeton, and advised the night march on Princeton, where he commanded the advance. When his men, who were mostly militia, began to waver before the enemy, he made an energetic attempt to rally them. Just as he sprang to the front he was felled to the ground by a blow from the end of a musket. Although surrounded by the British, he refused quarter, defended himself with his sword, and after being repeatedly bayoneted was left for dead. But it was until several days of severe suffering had passed that Mercer finally died for the country that he had adopted. BRITISH Navy Seriously Crippled by Damage to Its War Vessels. British naval circles are seriously perturbed by the extent to which the navy has recently been weakened through accidents to important ships, says the New York World. In addition to the Montagu, which went ashore on Lundy island during maneuvers and is now to be sold as old iron, at least four other first-class battle ships and one armored cruiser are out of the effective list, and many minor vessels have also been damaged, bringing the total of ineffective ships up to 8 per cent of the whole, quite exclusive of those under repair for ordinary wear and tear. What adds to the seriousness of this condition of affairs is the knowledge that the accidents, in almost every case was due to the neglect or incompetence of the officers, though they are admittedly some of the best men in the British navy. As showing this the following story was told to The World correspondent by a high naval authority: When the Montagu went aground a firm of well-known Liverpool salvage experts was engaged to get her off. This they were fully confident of doing in a couple of days, but some time after they had started operations a highly placed officer of the channel fleet arrived on the scene, countermanded the orders already given and took charge of the operations himself, though very little experienced in such work. The result was that the position of the vessel became steadily worse until she finally had to be abandoned altogether. This, however, is not the only instance of blundering connected with the loss of the Montagu, for the battle ship Duncan, which went to her assistance, also ran aground. The authorities declared she merely touched, but it now turns out that she also was seriously injured and had to be docked at Portsmouth for repairs. The Halloween Joke. Prof. George D. Herron, apropos of Hallowe'en, said: "In Montezuma, in my childhood, a crowd of youngsters made a jack of lantern to frighten a little city girl with on Hallowe'en. "The little girl came from Indianapolis and she had never seen a jack of lantern before. Yet, when on the lonely and black road, the big, round pumpkin, with its illuminated and grinning face, appeared before her suddenly, she was not at all alarmed. She ran indoors and said: "Hush! don't make a noise, for the man in the moon has just come down, and he is sitting out there in the lane. He hasn't any body. He is nothing but head, and he looks just like he does in the pictures." Education. The principal of one of Washington's high schools relates an incident in connection with the last commencement day of the institution mentioned. A clever girl had taken one of the principal prizes. At the close of the exercises her friends crowded about her to offer congratulations. "Weren't you awfully afraid you wouldn't get it, Hattie," asked one, "when there were so many contestants" "Oh, no!" cheerly exclaimed Hattie. "Because I knew that when it came to English composition I had 'em all skinned alive."—Harper's Weekly. In every neighborhood, the people complain of some annoying family.

RANCHES BECOME CITIES. Fortunes Being Made in Transforming Texas Panhandle. The western land fever which some years ago attacked Oklahoma and then shifted to Canada, is now raging vividly in Texas. In the last two years practically all the big ranches in the Texas Panhandle have been bought by land companies. These have arranged with the railroads to run train trains from as far east as Indianapolis at half fare. Their eastern agents gather up the farmers who will come, and these are all bunched at Kansas City, Wichita or El Reno, and their westerners who know the land thoroughly and can talk a mummy into a purchase take charge. Amarillo, Texas, is the center of the big land boom. Two years ago it was a cattle shipping point, the center of the gigantic LX ranch, with several hundred inhabitants. To-day it has 8,000, and nightly people have to sleep on the streets for lack of accommodations. The old ranch was 27 miles wide and 60 long, and was all under fence. There were 1,200 sections, or nearly 770,000 acres. The company bought the land originally for 29 cents an acre. The land boom in the Panhandle began when the company that owned the ranch divided it up into sections and began offering it at from $1,500 to $2,500 a section. A fourth of the land is yet unsealed, but the company has gathered in six millions for the land disposed of. Its sale value is now from $10 to $20 an acre. There are other big ranches in the Panhandle, out in the Big Pasture, as they call it. These are all being cut up and offered to the hungry land seekers. There'll be a lot of dead towns in the Panhandle when the bottom drops out of this boom, as it will; but while it lasts the folks are having a good time. Men who had nothing a few years ago are rich now. Two-thirds of the business blocks are occupied by land agents. Boston's Novel Fire Wagon. The city of Boston has just installed in its fire-fighting service a motor-driven chemical wagon.

He was so attentive a while ago, but he won't look at me now." "Perhaps," said the other, "he saw me come in. He's my husband." What It Was. "Pop! Pop!" For a moment the German crowd about the station swayed irresolutely. "Vat eet ees—a shoot gun?" "No, eet ees a auto vaggin exbloding eets tires." But both suggestions were wrong.

"I've et my supper and will be off before breakfast," said he to the clerk; "now what would be your lowest price for a room to sleep in?" "One dollar, if you only occupy it for a night," was the reply. "Well, wouldn't half a dollar make it just about right?" demanded the wayfarer, producing a 50-cent piece.

Taking Ita Size: Golng west on the Union Pacific through the southern portion of Wyoming, the view is one of continuous sand and sagebrush, a veritable desert. It is told that Mark Twain was going through one time and in the dining car his eye spied "Sage chicken" on the bill of fare. He called the waiter and asked what that was. "It's chicken, sah, raised right through here, sah." "Can they fly?" asked the humorist. "Yes, sah, they can fly, sah." "Well, then. I don't want any. Anything that can fly and stays in this country long enough to be killed can't be much good. None for me." Exception. "We reap as we sow," said the moralizer. "I never do," rejoined the demoralizer. "I'm an amateur gardener, you know." Information. The train had stopped for water at a little station in the country. The passenger with the skull cap, seeing a lone native standing on the station platform, addressed him. "Farmers around here seem to have been cutting a good deal of hay this morning," he said. "Yes, sir," answered the native. "They're taking risks. Don't you think it looks like rain?" "Sort of." "What do you suppose they will do if it does rain?" "I reckon they'll have sense enough to go in out of it, mister."—Chicago Tribune. Sure Enough. "Hear your old minister's gone in for ritualism." "Yes; he's gone wrong completely."

It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Milch., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Fletcher.
