' - As usual, Grande Ronde always comes out among the bent. During the past .week, frosts have visited the Pacific northwest generally,, and has done considerable damage. We have been damaged some In 'this county, but the toial, from a dollars and cents standpoint, wllj not bo noticeable. It has worked havoc to most of the flow er gardens of the county, and aside from the prune and plum. crop little else has been injured. r , .. When governors begin to call special sesHions of the legislature to pass local option laws, It does not take much of a prophet to foresee the end of the ale and manufacture of liquor In the Unit ed, states. There Is little question but what the next session of congress will pass legislation preventing the- ship ment of liquor from wet territory Into dry. ; Uncle joe Cannon may wish be fore the next few months roll around, that the last congress had. W ' . ' . TUB W. C. T. V. About 85 years ago a mere handful of women organized the Women' p Christian Temperance Union. It was constructed on a broad basis and kept expanding until a few years later it became a world-wide organization. To tnany who have not watched Its de tail workings, they may ihlnk, that H has not accomplished, much In a gen ui way, Dut herein Is where they are mistaken. It was due to the effort V of the W. C. T, U.. that our public schools taught the harmful effects of liquor and destroyed the prevailing idea then that liquors were necessary. The W. C. T. U. at about the same time Introduced Temperance day into the international Sunday schoo's, whereby once during each quarter, the Bunday schools of. the United Stos tniphuslze temperance work. For, In stance, Sunday, September 27, was one of these days, and temperance wjs ' taught in 140,519 Sunday ' 'schools, which means that the 1,461,835 Sun- day school teachers of our country yesterday presented the quarterly tem perance lesson to 11,829,253 Sunday school attendants. Not only In the Bunday schools, but also in the Ep worth Leagues, Christian Endeavors and Young People's societies, whose combined membership means several millions more. This has been going on for quite a number of years. The planting time has been going on ceaselessly and patiently,, and It Is no wonder that the harvest time is here. Many of these boys who had thi.-e temperance principles instilled into their hearts 15 and 20 years ago, are now holding positions of trust. Many of them are governors, congressmen and United States senators. While the W. C. T. U. has not contributed all that has been accomplished towards I the present temperance -movement, , this organization has done much.' The above is only a portion of their work, but had they accomplished nothing more than above enumerated, It would have been sufficient glory for any .one organizationbut In all It has 40 com plete departments for active work and somewhere -and In some place active work Is In progress every moment of the 24 hours. -' ( This will probably be the last sen on of low homeseekers' rates. This seems to be the concensus of opinion of the managers,' who maintain that Since the two-cent fare has become general, It has greatly reduced the fevenucs. That while they are hauling more passengers the 'roads are not taking In as much money as former ly. This may be the basis for an at tempt to return to three-cent fares, or It may result In higher rates to the west. Thera la another side to this story, however. The railroads are In terested in the development of the Pacific coast and if these rates ma terlally assist In adding to our popu lation It Is a business proposition for them to continue these rates. Nothing succeeds like success. Gov ernor llanly of Indiana for instance Ills term of office expires on January 1 next. Were It not for a constltu tionai promotion against any gover nor In the state of Indiana succeeding himself, he undoubtedly would be re turned by an Immense majority. On the other band, had he been a candl 3it to succeed himself, ha might not Jiava been the Frank llanly he la to day. That Is a wise provision In th Indiana constitution. Four years long enough for any one man to pre Ma in mm cxecuuv cnair or any Georgia is the only state to hold an election prior to the presidential con test, and a few thousand votes one way or the other would indicate nothing la that state. Four years ago Parkef received 8,472 votes to Roosevelt's 24, 0003. Tom Watson, the pcpullst nominee, received 22,636. ' There Is a large Independent vote In our country who are being delight fully entertained as a result of the campaign exposures on both sides and are applauding both leaders, crying: "Lay on, McDuff, and damned be he who first cries, Hold, enough!" V Th iuc-llv,- ui e -as a nation are taking higher ground mor ally than we have ever occupied in the past. It was no discredit in the past to be an attorney for large cor porations and received a certificate of lection to the United States senate. Look back over the history of our own state... We seldom selected a sen ator who war. not a railroad attorney. The people entertained- the same feel ing then as they do now, but they saw no- relief. Things are. different now. The people have relief and the past few years has resulted In a general cleaning up of the senate and the next few years may see a still greater change. This all Bpeaks well for our national future. This Is fair week. Remember, there Is to be no admission charge. There as been considerable Interest mani fest the past 10 days and there is evi dence of quite an exhibit. .
