aame subject.
Such legislation, he says, will be In
the interest of both the decent cor
poration and th law-abiding labn
unlons. ' In tbi connection, h
sounds a warning to the labor lead
era who have objected to the Incln
slon of labor organisations la the
anti-trust law amendment, and ear
plainly that the exception of tht
unlona from the operation of the
law would render the measure in
valid. The legislation he proposes, be
points out, will not interfere In anr
way with tb right of the laboring
men to combine, to conduct peaceable
atrlkes, to make trade agreements
with their employers and to perform
other legitimate acta. There are,
however, he polnta out, cases in
which trades unlona may take them
selves from under the protection of
the law by attempting to interfere
with or restrain Interstate commerce,
as, for example, by boycott or black
list. Hence the necessity of their
Inclusion in the trust-law amend
ment la this connection the President
pleads for immediate legislation for
the preservation ot the Injunction
power, the abuae of which, be de
clares, bra placed it in Jeogtrdy from
Its enemies. Th,ls, reform, be says.

Among other matters toachet upon
la the message is the necessity tor
an appropriation sufficient to permit
the examination ot railroad books
of accounts and record under the
provlslcns ot the Hepbarm law,

most of Its valuable feature if the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
not given means with which to con
duct its investigations Into the opera
tion of railroads Incompetently or
corruptly managed.
The President gones en to say that
it is his personal belief that ulti

well aware that this may be Impos

It is simply outrageors the way

All aorta of gross mis-statement ot
taota are being made in a desperate
effort to atom tbe tide of prohibition

I bare seen a copy of the same olr

Kanass, Is prospering as It naver did
before aad scores of even more liber
al boaloaas men, who ware opposed
to atoroemeal of tbe law prior to
tbe beginning of tbe oampalga down

aw necessary to ma the city, have
aow changed their minds completely
aad are among tbe moot eathuslaatlo
supporters of toe law.
I enclose a circuiar issued by tbe

From tbe Constlation, July 9,
1887, after one year of piohibltioo:

they are last as orderly as any In
tbe city. Property on them has ad
vanced from 10 to 25 per oenl. rlf

number of people are riding on tbe
street cars. Accordion to tbe coal
dealers many people bought coal and
stored It away last winter who were
never known to do so before. A
leading proprietor of a millnery sture
said that he had sold more hats and
bonnets to laboring men for their
wives and daughters than before in
the history of hla business. Con
tractors say their men do better work
and when they receive their wages
spend them, for fljur, bams, dry

To
tbe Editor: It la seemingly
wry that I should la soma way
reepoad to tba wide spread scandal
th roach news Da per columns, anises
I wish tbe publio to believe what baa
beea aod la being said at tba present
Urns about P. H. Daily, former
school superintendent.
1 bops to state tba taota wltbont
shade for aayoae tbe taota thataoa-
froot me and all others concerned ia
my affairs at this time.
First P. H. Dally la accused of de
falcation la regard to Institute
Funds.
Daring the eight years la wbioh P.
H. Daily served aa County Superin
tendent of schools he served foor
yesrs aoaer County Jadge Cbss.
Prim (Democrat), sad foot years
under Judge Dunn jrepubltoan), In
neither case was he required to turn
over Institute Foods to ths Treas
urer. It bad long been tbe;practloe in
this county to bold this fund each
year until toe time of tbe Annual
institute aad thsn apply It to Insti
tute expenses as by law provided.
As to tbe expeoss of institutes, any
educator tn tbe county will testify
that tbia fond waa apent and proba
bly over-reached each time. One
examination was held after tbe An
nual Institute of 1907 in wbioh the
fees amounted to about 170, wbioh
amount 1 deposited for paymenttoe
tbe day of P. H. Daily's resignation
to be paid to treasurer or aopeila-
tendent as tbe county court shoola
choose. All pertiej coaoerned know
tbese statements to be facts, and tbe
recoxde show them to be so.
Second I am jonfronted with tbe
affaire connected with District 78.
Wben P. U' Dally failed in health
and 't was nr?essary fn me to tnk-
cbiri'C of his buelR'iM Hlfalrs, I
found tbat he bad an aouount ul
er-2 with District No. 78 and I wrote
them at once to oome and setti"
tb tee. Their statement raids ae
follows.
We. tbe nnderelfi-ned. legal school,
board of Dletrlot No. 78 of Jackson
oounty, Oregcn, do hereby certify
tbat Mrs. P. U. Dally asked for
settlement with as before we asked

matter and we therefore consider
newspaper reports unjust.

I bare travelled one nnndred aad

carried my baby that I might secure

He deserves erltlcism aad I am
willing to bear It nnfliuohingly, but.
my burdens are heavy enough . with
