All rijjht, we will take bin word fur it as it makes no material difference whether there were four or fourteen. All relics of Cannon ism must go just the same. The country is getting too progressive and enlightened to be bothered by I heir op posit'on auy longer. Out of possibly two hundred with whom the writer has onversed regarding politics, we have found but two who confessed that they were going to 'voter straight." This pvaks volumes for the intelligence of the people for it is almost impossible for one party to place in nomination a ticket of candidates who individually are superior in every way to their opponents and indicates very clearly that the days, when the Insh of the party whip was heeded, are gone. All reforms have been brought about by independ ent voting as it has been through fear of this element tbat political parties have been forced to advocate and inaugu rate luch reforms as they have.

Oregon for Its Own People The people of Oregon ought to receive the benefit of its natural resour ces just as stock holders receive dividends. Let those who want to share Oregon's advantages come here to collect them. Return $8,000,000 Due Oregon There is about $8,000,000 due Oregon, taken by the general Gov ernment from the sale of Ore son lands and used to develop other states. Ore gon needs this money. . It should be returned at once.

FLIES DESTROY CUTWORMS Many cutworms have been parasitized by the species of blowfly that deposits its eggs on the cutworm's neck, whence the lava enters the worm and causes its death. In an insect breeding cape at the Agricultural College Professor Lovett found that about 80 per cent of the worms collected in the Willamette Val ley are fatally infested. He hopes that this means a reduct ion of the pest that has wrought such havoc in clover fields and garden crops to a point of little He ahead. The naval buttle, while de cisive so far as it went, did uot seri ously weaken the kaiser's sea power. The Cerinau licet In the North sea la under the direction of Admiral Count Frederick von ftaudlssln, chief RAISING THE CURTAIN Mr. Hawley's campaign manager nuikes the statement that Mr. Ilawloy "remains in Washington am! d; votes his time and energy to the sei vices of the people." If this be true, then Mr. llawlej is drawing 73 a month fioni the Woodmen of the World for-ioing nothing and when any corporation or society pays a congressman money without getting legitamate services in return, it is worthy an in vestig'ition by a congressional committee. l!ut it is not true tbat Mr. llawley is receiving a month from the Woodmen of the World for do'ng nothing. This society is paying him $75 a month a a member ot the "lioard of Head Managers" and only last month he attended a'meeting of this "Hoard of Head Managers" in Denver. He is rtndering some service for the 75 iv month and, of louiae, ii taking it out of the time that belongs to the people of ti e First congressional di.Miiot of Oregon.)

All cut worms that have been parasit ized by the Trachid fly may re treat to their winter home, spin their cocoon, and go into the pu pa stage. But when the warm sunshine of next spring calls jthem to come forth as mntt.a they will have been consumed, and in their stead there issues from the chrvsalis not a cut worm, but a Trachid fly. If farmers will do their part, it seems that the cutworm pest will be cut off from serious dam age, possibly for several years, i - C. A. C. Press Bulletin.

Inasmuch as the officers and members of the Hop Grow ers' and Dealers' Association of Oregon have individually and collectively been assailed by the same designing political 'reformers', quite as viciously and equally as unjustly as this attack on "Oregon's Grand Old Lady," we hereby give pub licity to Mrs. Duniway's open letter, as an offering of tribute. HOP GROWERS AND DEALERS ASSOCIATION OF OREGON (Paid AdYertlenMn) Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunhvay has the respect of every man : and woman In the State of Oregon who trunks out in ur hcp own opinions. She Is assailed only by n minority ol those who allow other people to ih!nZr out theii1 opinions for them. SHE SPEAKS It has been brought to ray attention that the Anti-Saloon League, following the same tactics It has followed in every campaign heretofore, !a trying to bosroirch this organization and to carry on a vic ioua campaign of untruths. No name seems to be too feood to be dragged into the mud by them. I have reliable information that a btatemcut l.ss Ucn n:ade to the Ami-Saloon League and to the Com mittee of One Hundred by Mrs. Cora C. Taiboir. former secretary of the Taxpayers' aud Wage-Earnera' League, that she was brought into this work by me under the impression that it was a Women's Suf frage movement and her duties would bo those of a physician whilo I made speeches throughout the rtate. 1 also understand that Mra. Taibott makes the statement that funds have been collected with out authority, and In some way t'ae Brewers' Association has been collecting these funds. These two statements are absolutely untrue. The collection of funds was authorized by me as president, and the secretary was ordered to have a letter sent out in connection with this work. I understand that Mrs. Taibott, in this purported letter, in the hands of the Anti-Saloon League and the Commltte of One Hundred, states that she objected to the raising of funds under her signature as secretary. How did the good lady think the work of this league was to be carried on? Why did she think Mr. Bortz meyer, cashier of the Scandinavian-American Bank, was appointed treasurer of this league? Did she think we would ask the brewers to put up the money surreptitiously? If so, she reckoned without her host. I have always fought In the open, and now, lu my 80th year, and probably in my last campaign, I do not intend to change the principles I have always fought for, nor depart from my honesty of pur pose In advocacy of equal rights for all the people by no means excluding women for whose Inter ests I have spent my life to obtain the ballot. My chief concern in their behalf has always been to secure for them their economic independence, as married mothers within the home, which alone will enable any woman to quit the business of marrying inebriates or raising drunkards. The moneys collected are in the hands of Treasurer Bortzmeyer, and all those who have donated have received a letter acknowledging receipt thereof. Any one bo desiring may Inquire from our treas urer as to whether the money has been put in his hands, and I am quite sure he will advise them of receipt of their denatlon. If there is any one who has paid their money into this organization under misapprehension as donation for carrying on this work this league will be only too glad to refund it It Is Indeed strange that Mrs. Taibott thought this was a Suffrage movement when Bhe went to the Portland Hotel, engaged the dining-room for our first luncheon for organization and arranged for the payment of this luncheon, and went so far as to get speakers to express their views against Pro hibition. The real break between Mrs. Taibott and myself was caused when I found oyt that she had gone to the Brewers' Association and told them she could be of good service to them In connection with this league and aBked and received a salary from the Brewers 'Association on the ground that she was put ting In her time and needed the money. On the 2 6th of August a meeting was held between Mrs. Taibott and myself for the purpose of getting matters straightened out before starting the general organization. At this meeting a statement was signed by myself as president and Mrs. Taibott as sec retary that the two letters sent out by myself, as well as the letter sent out by the publicity depart ment, were approved. This statement ended with the sentence: "After discussing generally the affairs of the league, the officers ratified all work that had been done up to date by the publicity bureau and officers of the association." . I have lived in this state for 60 years, during all of which time I have toiled and worked for the people of my state, and I am willing to leave it to the public to decide as to whether I would lend my self In any way to any organization or any act that could be construed as anything but honorable. Every one In this state knows Mrs. Duniway and her family. I wish further to say that, if the occa sion arises and I deem it necessary to go further Into this matter, I will be .glad to publish some additional facts In these same papers not necessary to publish now, and will meet the conditions as they arise. If the Anti-Saloon League, by its paid foreign agitators or Committee of One Hundred, think they can becloud this issue by trying to drag into the mud my name or others, they are very much mistaken. I expect to carry this work on to the conclusion of this campaign and then allow the people to judge as to whether we will control our own affairs in the State of Oregon or allow the paid agitators of the East to show us what to do.
