Just a Word at the Close of this Strenuous Campaign With Kiln number of the Journal we huve concluded our port of the diMi'UMxion of tlx pros and com of the county division question, The question Iirh been brought more cutely to the attention of the peo ple during the campaign juHt closed than ever before. As the diacus slon luu warmed up, some pretty iiharp wordH have been spoken. Upon the whole, however, the presentation that haa been made during the campaign hun been beneliclul. It has caused to be brought out and put upon dmptuy the various reasons and argument for and against this question of dividing Crook county Into two or more purU. So fur hh the Journal la concerned It hun sustained the negative of the proposition an boat it could bemuse It believed that aldu of the quetitlon to represent the beat intereaU of nil concerned. It still thinks an. Whether or not that view la cor rect cut no particular figure now. The case haa been presented and ia now to go to the people for final j judgment. Any mini who allows himself to i runt his vote upon thin important! question through prejudice or lack j of sober, serious thought, is not! performing his duty as a citizen, j If, when the people have apoken, it ahull appear that Crook county,! like all tJaul, is to be divided into! Keep the Crook County High School Out of the Mire of Politics It is pleaaing to note that the Crook County High School hus not been questioned or In any way crit icised by the advocates of county division. It is creditable that wo have such an institution of learning in our midst thai no one, not even in the heat of county division dis cussion, cares to do himself or his cause tho injustice to call in ques tion either the method of operation or the real worth of that institution. It is indeed creditable that such is the case. This is one institution in Crook county wherein even those who took an active part in its be ginning builded better than they knew. From an humble beginning some ten or twelve years ago the Crook County High School now ranks among the best of its kind In the entire state. From some eigh teen subjects taught at first by two teachers, it has grown into an institution wherein 71 subjects are given by eight teachers, as follows: Composition and rhetoric First year German Kecond year German English grammar First yenr Latin Necond year Latin English literature American literature Algebra General history Plane geometry i'h.vttic Academic arithmetic U. S. litatory (Ivies Solid geometry Mechanical drawing Bench work 1 1 and work Food analysis and cooking Cabinet work Architectural drawing Deschutes Project Recommended Secretary Franklin R. Lane has advised Governor West that the reclamation service engineers have decided upon the Deschutes project as the most suitable one in this state upon which to expend the 1450,000 allotted by the govern ment for reclamation work in Ore gon. This appropriation was made for expenditure during the calendar year of 1914 and was made de pendent upon the appropriation of a similar amount by the state of Oregon. Unless the money from three purls, well and good as fur as the Journal is concerned for It realizes that the people must have what they want, especially as they pay the bills. On the other hand if the people shall will by their votes that Crook county shall remain a solid, com pact commonwealth it will suit our view of things fully as well if not better for many reasons that we have presented during the discus sion to the very best of our ability. Anyhow, to summon It air up, whichever way it goes, the Journal feels It a duty to appeal to the peo ple of what Is now Crook county with whom it has so long labored and among whom it has so long lived, to stand together for the de velopment and growth of Central Oregon. Let us not allow our selves to become estranged and dis tracted by local contentions. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder in the great work before us of bringing our heulthful and fruitful heritage up to such a standard that we may be recognized among the sister hood of counties that comprise this great atate. Not one of the least, not away along down the scale, but by united effort and a right Im provement of the opportunities which divine providence has given us to take our place well up toward the lead in health, happiness and wealth.

A Booth, republican candidate for United States senator, tore to pieces every charge brought against him by Governor West in the famous Booth-West meeting at Portland. When Booth had finished he had disproved the accusations of West in every particular, showing that the governor had not a log to stand on In making his charges. Booth's proofs were government records, documents and decisions of the courts. Booth, to show the character of West, the man who was attacking his honesty and business methods, K. A. BOOTH read from records showing that West, when state land agent under Chamberlain, was working for De tective Burns in stacking the jury box which wag to try the land cases of 1905. West was one of the de tectives whose work was to find out if citizens were for conviction and when they were strong for con viction their names were placed in the box from which jurors were to be drawn at the trials. Booth also showed that West collected t360 mileage from the government when at most he was entitled to but 111 and when federal officials accused him of being a grafter, West turned this money into the state treasury, minus t50. The trip which West charged the government for he also charged the state as railroad com missioner, i Having given the audience a view of West's character, Booth took up one by one the charges which West made and refuted them completely, showing that West was wrong in every instance. Time after time Booth proyed that West was making false statements. It was refuta tion complete and In detail. The meeting was the most dis orderly political gathering in the history of Portland. There was an organized crowd of West partisans who were determined to prevent Booth from answering the charges. Appeals for fair play were utterly ignored and they insisted on inter rupting Booth at every opportunity. West himself was hissed when he refused to explain his connection with Burns and he was hissed when he belittled the religion of Booth. The Booth-West meeting has helped Booth immensely. Save Industrial Oregon. The only way to protect the future manufacturing and in dustrial development of Oregon ia to vote against the vioious meas ures known as the "Water Front" bills, numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot. They are a direct attack on the prosperity of every man, woman and child in Oregon and ought to be beaten. These measures are not only a vicious thrust at Oregon's progress but they are a veiled attack upon the publio school system of the state, in that they will, if passed, deprive it of large sums of money every year.

'' "'' - t ' f f ' v i ? Social Hygiene Meet ings Largely Attended The two meetings held Tuesday in the campaign for clean living were well attended. The meeting in the afternoon for women was conducted by Mrs. II. P. Belknap. She introduced Dr. Williamson of Portland, who ex plained the Sex Hygiene organiza tion of Portland. It has a com mittee of 21 prominent citizens who make it their business to investigate causes and spread correct informa- tion regarding sex problems. The work of this committee has been so superior that just before the European War many letters were received from foreign countries in quiring into the methods of carry ing on this work: 1 10,000 has been raised to carry on the educational campaign, used ! for the publishing and distributing of pamphlets and for the salary of ( a secretary. The lecturers donate their services. j Dr. Calvin White was introduced and he spoke on the conditions of today that make the work of this kind imperative. These conditions make a marked increase in tempta tion over that of the girls of 25 years ago. , Some of these conditions are the greater freedom of women. The rapid transit which tend to unsettle conditions by making it possible to move on to new places. Ihe cheap show with its presentation of '. cheap problem plays. The sugges- j tive dances and the problem novels. ' Dr White also said that the homej is the place where we must safe- j sruard our children with clean ' knowledge of life's sacred story. Therefore, we must instruct mothers what and how to teach and they must get closer in touch with their daughters to do it. The church cannot do this. Those Who; need the teaching most seldom go. The school cannot do this, for too often our teachers are unprepared and also except in generalization they cannot touch upon the inti mate life lessons as this must be individual instruction and should begin with the child's first question. The evening lecture was for men only. Rev. Ramsey presided. He spoke of the present conditions and introduced Dr. Williamson who spoke on the problem, scope and principles of the Sex Hygiene or gauization, and introduced Dr. Calvin White who spoke at length on the four sex lies that are preva lent and believed by many of our young men. These four may be briefly included in two statements That there is any use from any point of view to permit our boys to be unchaste while demanding virtue from our girls is unfair, false and cowardly. And second that the teaching that there is a physical necessity'for sexual indulgence by the male half of the world is a He of such magnitude that the terrible ravages of disease which result brand it as such with nature's seal of disapproval. To the Public Length of residence In a commu nity does not prove one's fitness ot elticlency. Neither does the owning ot property necessarily prove the puiiuc spirit or tne owner. However, aa one of my opponents has made Inaccurate and misleading state ments to the effect that he was "the only candidate tor this office who la a real property owner." I will say that both Mrs. Rice and myself have paid taxes on BEAL property for seven years, having acquired It a few mouths after coming to Prine ville, about seven (7) years ago.

Bennett, the well known lawyer of The Dalle, has recently written: "I have known Judge Galloway intimately for more than forty years and have never found a bet ter man.

Truth fully has it been said of Judge Gal loway, 'He bas id mote tban one Instance in the pant shown that he ' ',v' Jt'DCE WM.

He always does his duty as he sees it, regardless of conse qurncec, and is absolutely icvul nerable to 'pressure' or 'influence.' He has a fine legal education and is very familiar with legal princi ples and the administration of jus tice generally. His courtesy and kindly disposition are well known He would make an ideal supreme judge." pd adv Literary Department . of the Ladies Annex Miss Bigjjs reviewed Chesterton's "The Bell and the Cross" at the meeting of the literary department of the Ladies' Annex Monday night. This book has two heroes who represent two types of mir.d and belief. One, the materialist, the other, the idealist, meet and so misunderstand and antagonize each other that they decide to fight a duel in order to vindicate their in dividual positions before the world. This duel is attempted and pre vented time and again until in the intervals the two men learn to un derstand each other and to love each other. Hence, the idealist wins a bloodless victory, as love is ideal and not material. Next Mon day Mrs. Elliott will review the last book in the course, Bennett's "A Great Man." The course will be completed November 9 by a general discussion of the problems and solutions as presented by the differ ent authors. Mrs. Walker will have charge of this meeting. Dr. Cruubuie, secretary ot the Kan sas board of health, gives the follow lug recipe for a homemade fly poison that will not be injurious to children in the home If they should get hold of It: Beat together the yolk of one egg, one-third cupful of sweet milk, one level teaspoonful of sugar and a level teaspoonful of black pepper.
