THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE V' GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES DRY RESULTS. Nearly every day there comes the report from some town of the state, ttating that heir jail has been emp ty sinc3 the first of the year, or tiat they now have the first pris oner. In the light of this ex perien -e, how mean seems the argu ment that towns could not exist without the revenue from the aixns, which argument was merely one of character degradation for the purpose of swelling the town reve nues. Actual experience is demon ftrating that the agrument of the prohibition cranks were correct and therefore the brewery people simply can not stem the oncoming tide of national prohibition. WILLARD H. WIRTZ. Although he has not as yet made formal announcement, District Attorney Wirtz authorizes the Jour nal to say that he is a candidate for reelection to the office which he mw holds. Jlr. Wirtz's record has been of law enforcement, and he has friends in all parts of the county that will be pleased to support his candidacy. GETTING NEXT. The Bend Bulletin has finally followed the lead of the Journal and other metropolitan papers and their issue of last week appeared without advertising on the first page. We believe that there may yet be hope for the Bulletin be coming a real newspaper. RALPH L. JORDAN. P.. L.

The office of Circuit Judge, for Crook and Jefferson Counties, was created in 1915, and T. E. J. Duffy, was appointed by Governor Withy combe to fill the position. Although Judge Duffy registers as a demo crat it may be noted, that his ap pointment was made by 'a republi can governor, who among a great number of people regards such office as nonpartizan. Judge Duffy, en tered upon the discharge of the duties of such office, giving up his private practice of law, to devote all of his time to it, and it can be safely said that he has administered such office fairly, impartially and in a business like manner. It would therefore s eem no more than right, in view of his record, that he be nominated and elected to succeed himself for a further term. Paid Advertisement. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLE MENT.
