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. Jordan is announcing in this
issue of the Journal, his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
the office of Treasurer, which office
he now holds. Mr. Jordan is well
and favorably known in the county
and it seems from the present
rkilitieal situation, that ha will have
nj opposition for that ofp.ce.

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

OLDER BUT STRONGER
To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
fo'ty, is sound advica, because in the
Itrengtta of middle life we too often forget
that neelected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply j
nnaernune strengtn ana Dnng cjiromc
weakness for later years.
To lie stronger when older, keep yonr
Mood pure and rich and active with the
etrength-buildiiig and blood-nouriishing
properties of Scott's Emulsjon which is a
food . a tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
av-M sickness. No alcohol in Sco'.t's.

When the day's work's done, and the good old tun
has sunk in the well known West, then I stretch my
form by the fireside warm, I sit at my case and rest.
Then I take my pipe which is mildly ripe, ss the pipes
of good smokers are, with a chortling soul then I fill
its bowl from my glass Tuxedo jar. And I smoke at
ease, and my trouble flees to
the place where dead troubles
go; and my worries seem, in
my waking dream no longer to
