YOU men get to putting reliance into good stock.
Ever since you learned of the rich tobacco of
which W-B CUT Chewing is made, there has
been a big and increasing demand (or it. The idea of
shredding the leaf, so that you can get at the tobacco
satisfaction without so much grinding and spitting, has
made a winning with men also. The little chew that
lasts tnd satis6es is the thing.

We have been notified by somebody in Port
land that it will not cost us anything to advertise
the rose festival. When a merchant in this town
holds a flower show or installs an orchestra in his
store for the purpose of drawing1 trade, he pays
for the advertising. He wouldn't have the gall
i to ask us to do it for nothiner. But Portland is
different and there is some reason for it. The
state outside has been "worked" by Portland
interests for so long that it is now force of habit
to throw out bait to the suckers. When Oregon
wakes up and learns that there is something to it
besides Portland, it will commence to grow fat
and prosper.
Simon Benson has begun a suit for libel against
a contributor to the Lebanon Criterion who made
certain charges against him which Mr. Benson
says isn't true. The Criterion, an innocent party,
was included as a defendant. If the case ever
comes to trial, it may be of unusual interest. In
cidentally, several thousand votes were lost for
the proposed bond issue when Mr. Benson went
into court

Messrs. Roosevelt and Bryan represented the
two extremes in the present crisis. Roosevelt
wanted war all the time, Bryan stood lor peace
until the last. But now that war has come,
Roosevelt wants to go as leader of a division,
Bryan offers his services as a private.
The young men of the country are rushing to
the colors just as their forefathers did before them
in 1776, 1812, 1848, 1860 and 1898. It called on
fur active service in this war, they will make the
same kind or a record as did their lathers and
grandfathers.
Prohibition is a possibility of the war. The
government may deem it for the best interests of
the country to prohibit the sale of all intoxicating
liquors, li proniDiiion is iorcea dv necessity, it
may stay with us alter the war is over.
The President's stand in favor of a war tax
upon profits to pay the expenses of the war is the
right sort. He says that no debt should be
handed down to posterity and where there's a
will there's a way to do as he wishes.

The government may have to regulate the price
ot foodstuffs. When commission men in thecities
destroy thousands of tons of food to maintain
prices, something more stronger than regulation
is needed for them.
So many organizations are supporting the "six
million bond issue" that it ought to win and cer
tainly if it was a question of which side could
make the most noise, the affirmative would win in
a walk.
