Air. JIawley'e manager denies most energetically that his
chief has only succeeded in getting four bills paused out of
175 introduced. He says there were more. 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

progressive and enlightened to be bothered by I heir op

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.

Kitchener In the crushing of Cronje

There tin h always been a good deal
of discussion as to whom the chief

Sir John Is a very short, stout man

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

cisive so far as it went, did uot seri
ously weaken the kaiser's sea power.

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

is very anxious for farmers to
cooperate with this natural ene
my of the cutworm by cleaning
up and burning or plowing un
der all crop remnants, weeds and
other trash of fields and road
ways, which may offer breeding
homes for the cutworm. 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,

WHO MALIGNS?
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.
