"National prohibition is the only
sort of prohibition that can be at all
thorough-going," says the Coquille
Valley Sentinel, "and national prohi
bition isn't so far away as many
people may imagine. lndeeed, the
man who tries to get elected to con
gress in this state this fall, without
pledging himself to vote to submit a
prohibiton amendment to the nation
al constitution, is going to lose a pile
of votes. And no candidate, either
for governor, or for any legislative
position, state or national, can hope
to get away with it in a good-Lord,
good-devil campaign. He has got to
let the people know where he stands
or take a bigger risk."
How many of our readers know
that the new yacht which will be en
tered by Sir Thomas Lipton in tne
coming great yacht race for the
American cup is made largely of Ore
gon timber? In commenting on this
fact the Bandon World savs:
"The use of Coquille river timber
in the yacht means more to this sec
tion than merely the novelty
that American wood in an Englisn
vessel will compete against home
ships for speed honois. It is a well
known fact that Sir Thomas Lipton
has investigated timbers of all kinds
and from all sections of the earth to
find the proper kinds for speed boat
construction and the lact tnat it is
Oregon fir and cedar that are accept
ted means that the timber of this Bee
tion will receive a tremendous amount
of worth-while advertising through
out the world in shipbuilding circles."
DON'T DO IT
A number of insignificant, know
nothing, stand-pat newspapers pub
lished in various parts of Oregon are
advising their readers to vote "no"
on all initiative and referendum
measures found on the ballot at the
comini? election. No one with a spoon
ful of brains or the smallest atom of
patriotism would advocate such a
mode of procedure. No dubt there
will be measures which ought to be
killed (and we believe that all such
will be killed): but there are others
which mean much for the well-being
of humanity and the development of
Oreeon.
It is certainly the duty of every
patriotic citizen to get posted on the
measures to be voted on this fall
and vote intelligently. Don't let
any reactionary schemer with an axe
to grind convince you tnat an ai
bad. They are not. Vote right.
WHERE DID HE GET IT?
The Albany Democrat of the 6th
Inst., commenting on Doctor Withy'
combe's address in which that gentle-
man held ex-Governor Pennoyer up
as a demogogue, and several other
things, heads the editorial "Withy
combe's Ingratitude." The heading
is nroDerly applied. Only for the ex
Governor's consideration Dr. Withy
' combe would doubtless have been so
journing all these years Qn his farm
over in Washington county. The
doctor's criticism of his benefactor
comes with ill grace after all these
years, no mutter what his private
opinion may be. But aside from this,
Ingratitude is dangerous, when so
plainly displayed by a man in politics,
It was ingratitude that laid T. T Geer
on the shelf, and we have in mind
another one or two whose days are
numbered for the same reason. So
the Doctor had better look out. Ore

John D. Rockefeller gave one mil
lion dollars to the Rockefeller Insti
tute in New York City to be used for
adding to our knowledge of animal
diseases. He had previously endow'
ed the institute with a gift of $9,000,-
000. Now he has again made a gift
of 82,500,000 to be available for the
purchase of additional lands and for
enlarging the work of the institute,
and which brings the total of Rocke
fellers gift to his pet institute up to
$12,650,000. No doubt ho believes
that this will stand as a monument to
his memory and as an honor to his
name; but when we consider that it
is impossible to make a multi-mlilon-aire
without creating some hundreds
or thousands of paupers at the other
end of the social scale, and when we
reflect that people are coming more
and more to recognize the hideous
cruelty of pauperizing a multitude of
people in order to license the insat
iable greed of a few individuals, it
will be indeed a wonder if future
generations do not seo in the Rocke
feller donations a cause for mutter
ing execrations upon his name.
Austria has gone to war with Ser

If Russia kicks in, and it looks as if
she would, it will be the signal for
all countries to jump to arms and

with its terrible cost of human life,
to bring about world-wide disnrm
ment and put an end to man killing.
The following editorial from the
Albany Daily Democrat of Tuesday,
July 21, has caused a tremendous
sensation in republican circles thru
out the state.
The Democrat questions whether
Booth could have gotten control of
his great wealth by fair and square
dealing.
In reply the Oregonian of Friday
July 22nd furiously denies that Booth
got his immense timber holdings by
other than honest means and speaks
of the "Democrat" as "this vicious
little paper at Albany," which "has
sought to poison the general mind
against Mr. Booth by paraphrasing,
in the language of prejudice and
jeaoulousy, an indictment against
him for being a wealthy man."
The Article, which the Oregonian
calls an "inexcusable affront," reads
as follows:
"Senator Booth, where did you get
it? This is the question to which
Millionaire Booth, Republican nomi
nee for United States senator should
make a full and complete answer be
fore the date of the general election,
"We will not attempt to explain
how the Booth-Kelly Lumber com
pany acquired title to so much valu
able timber land in Oregon, nor do
we wish to be understood as making
the charge that the same was ac
quired dishonestly. We don't know
how it was acquired. The public
don't know, but the voters, are
frankly interested in the very perti
net question, "Where did you get it?"
But in the absence of proof to the
contrary Senator Booth's friends have
a right to assume that his immense
fortune was acquired by honest toil.
Upon that theory other questions will
very naturally suggest themselves to
the minds of the independent voters.
Can a man serve two masters!
Can Senator Booth, the "timber bar
on" be depended upon to represent
both the lumber interests of the state
and the common people at one and
the same ime? Can the Eugene mil
lionaire be doponded upon to fight
the battles of the plain people? Can
he be expected to take a firm stand
for progressive legislation? Will his
eyes penetrate through the forests of
rich imber and see he plains beyond
where agriculture is the principal
pursuit of the inhabitants? Will he
be the tool of the timber interests or
the servant of the common people of
Oregon? These are all questions
which the thinking voter has already
asked himself.
It is our judgement that the people
of this state can not sound a retreat
from the path of progress. We have
had enough of the Joe Simon-Jack
Mathews brand of politics. We can
not afford to send to Washington a
man who by training and tempera
ment is in sympathy with the big in
terests. Booth never was, and never
will be senatorial timber in a pro
gressive state. He lacks the exper
ience and he fails to measure up to
the standards required of a man who
aspires to a seat in the hulls of congress.
"Again the Oregonian is his politi
al mother and political dad. I was
wind from the editorial columns of
that publication that permitted his
ship to pass safely through a party
primary. It is upon the Oregonian
and its journalistic echoes, that he de
pends for his campaign this fall.
Booth is the Oregonian's candidate
and the Oregonian's candidate never
wins."
THE FIGHT OF FEAR
There is something sinister and
cat-like about the stealthy way in
which the Oregonian proceeds to con
sumate its political assassinations,
The republican publicity organ cannot
conceal its satisfaction and glee over
the fact that Mr. U Ren cannot en
ter the lists as both independent and
prohibitionist. It insinuates that
U'Ren has been guilty of double deal
ine in accepting the prohibition nomi
nation and ridicules the fact that he
did not know, up to this time, that
such a proceeding would be impos
sible when "everybody else knew it."
It really excites our admiration to
note the fine art with which the Ore
gonian concocts its literary poisons,
and then offers them, as a cup of
cheer, to its intended victim.
Here is a sample:
Mr. U'Ren was originally an
independent candidate. Then he
contrived to be tho Prohibition
candidate. Now he wants to be
both. But he cannot be. He
doesn't know what to do. We
don't know what he should do,
or we should freely offer our
disinterested advice.
But if the Oregonian has heard
that the Independent-Prohibition can
didate ha 3 been caught in a trap, it
has been misinformed. Mr. U'Ren is
much more than a match for the
aristocratic Portland daily and its
retinue of stand-pat politicians. He
has proven that, in previous com
bats, and he will prove it again.
The Oregonian loathes U'Ren be
cause he has made it the business and
purpose of his life to champion the
cause of the poor man; for with its
millions of wealth, the Oregonian has
nothing in sympathy with poverty.
Nor will the Oregonian, by its ma
licious tactics toward Mr. UR'en, suc
ceed in creating prejudice against the
man who has shown the common
people the way to political liberty.
The magnificent news service of the
big daily makes it dominant thruout
the state, so far as the newspaper
field is concerned; but the people
who read it, know that, editorially
and politically, it stands for a class
whose interests are not in accord
with the interests of the average citi
zen; for the Oregonian represents
the Oregon aristocracy, and THE IN-
TrJKUSTS OF THE AK1STOCKACY
MUST ALWAYS BE ANTAGONIS
TIC TO THE INTERESTS OF THE
MAJORITY.
The bitter fight which the Oregon
ian is waging against Mr. U'Ren, be
cause it fears him, will, we predict,
do Oregon's great political pathfinder
no harm.
WHAT BOOTH CAN DO
In a rather feeble attempt to boost
the candidacy of Timber Baron Booth
of Eugene the Albany Herald says:
"MR. BOOTH HAS DONE
THINGS IN OREGON AND HE
CAN DO THINGS IN WASHING
TON." Mr. Booth has done things in, Ore
gon. He has contrived to get pos
session of timber land holdings of
immense value. From a small be
ginning he has developed into a mil
lionaire a la mushroom.
Since Mr. Booth has developed his
grasping propensities as a private
citizen what may we expect to see,
should he be turned loose in the Unit
ed States Senate, which has always
furnished rich pasturage for the
greedy wealth ruminants.
What things Booth "can do in
Washington" furnishes a subject for
Oregon taxpayers to meditate upon.
SHALL MEXICO HAVE SINGLE
TAX?
Collier's for June states:
"If we read the stars risrhtlv we
will find President Wilson, if he is
permitted to go on in his present
course, sooner or later will be using
the army and navy of the U. S. to
introduce into Mexico some kind of
reform or land tenure which will be
more or less less Single Tax."

THE STRIKE FOLLY
Now that there is talk of a great
strike of railroad trainmen such as
would probably tie up all western
roads, and which may or may not bo
settled by the proposed mediation,
we should take time to consider what
such a strike would mean to the coun
try as a matter of dollars and cents.
It is estimated that the strike of
Union Miners in Boulder County,
Colorado, alone has cost the union
treasury two million dollars. The
tying up of western railroads at this
time of year when crops must be
moved, would mean an enormous loss
to farmers.
Some means should be found to
make strikes impossible, for besides
the great economic loss they gener
ally degenerate into riots, which are
a disgrace to American civilization.
Strikes are of vital interest to every
taxpayer for they must ultimately
foot the bills and make good the
losses involved.
In Colorado the mine owners, with
the Rockefeller interests at their head
contrived to make the state assume
he great expense of guarding mine
property and controlling the strike;
and besides it is doubtlul it the Colo
rado strike has resulted in anything
beneficial to the strikers.
The success of the strike was very
doubtful from the beginning. Less
than one-quarter of the miners be
longed to the union. Those who did
not were so far contented with con
ditions that they could not be expect
ed to join in the strike; at least the
result proves that to be the case. In
reality there was no general strike.
because many men, in the neighbor
hood of 10,000, have been regularly
employed all through the times of
disturbance, and the state has been
continuously supplied with near its
normal quantity of coal. An lm
perfect account shows that 76 vio
lent deaths, most of them unprovoked
murders were conneced with this
strike. To these are to be added
countless cases of assault and of
wanton destruction of property. In
other strikes, the leaders have been
able, more or less successfully, to dis
claim the responsibility of them
selves and of the union, for the case
of violence. Here there appears to
be no thought that such deeds are
even matters for apology. When it
became necessary to call out the
troops, it was demanded that both
strikers and mine guards should be
disarmed. The guards did so in good
laith. The men in the Boulder coun
ty field have been on strike for four
years, and have cost the union treas
ury two million dollars, and there is
not the slightest prospect of a settle
ment. The mines are running and
are sending out full product, while
little camps ot union men sit in ridi
culous idleness.
A TIMELY WARNING
WELL DESERVED HONORS
At the formal opening of the Pan
ama canal next March the old bat
tleship Oregon with President WIL
bUJN, captain (JLAKK and many
other prominent men aboard, will lead
the great parade of the ships of the
nations. This is, in a certain sense
a great honor for the State of Oregon
and every Oregonian should be
proud of the prominence which will
be given the name "Oregon" in this
great event of world-wide interest
But the greatest honor of all has
been given France. The United
States government has presented to
the French nation a ship which will
precede the Oregon in passing thru
the canal piloting the great proces
sion of the ships of all nations in
their passage from the Atlantic to
the Pacific through an artificial
waterway constructed by the peoples
of the two great republics of the

THE DIFFERENCE
Cash in pocket alieta an inclination to
"spend. Cash in bank begets a pride in the
amount of "the balance'' and thus abets an
inclination to save. Many a man headed
toward a state of chronic improvidence in
money matters, has turned "right about
face" by the opening of a bank account.

LEI' OREGON FOLLOW
Oregon prides herself upon reform
legislation, but
it seems that that
backward easterner New York has
gotten a little bit ahead of us on one
point of progressive legislation. In
that state they now have a law, called
the Anti-Drug Act. It went into
effect July 1st, and provides for the
punishment for those who handle
habit forming drugs excepting under
certain specified conditions. Here is
a law that Oregon could copy with
profit, for under the present lax sys
tem the use of drugs which produce
a frightful physical and moral de-
'generacy is being practiced at an
alarming extent.
Driven desperate by their inability
to purchase heroin, cocaine, mor
phine and other habit-forming drugs
since July 1, when the new state law
prohibiting the sale of those drugs
became effective, eight victims of
drugs, all young men, applied to the
police, July 23, to be locked up, ac
cording to a dispatch from Rochester,
N. Y.
Several of the men declared that
if they were not placed in confine
ment they feared they would either
commit murder or suicide. Steps
have been taken to open a hospital
for the detention and treatment of
these victims.

Fine Fishing Trip
Otto Strieker and son, Richard;

Walter; Wm. and Hughey Jones,
and S. L. Casto, all of Carus, formed
a fishing party that went, last week,
to the upper waters of the Molalla.
Most of the time was spent in the
vicinity of the Bee Ranch, but Casto
wandered some 7 or 8 miles above
the Dungeon, which is 7 miles from
the Bee Ranch. While fishing was
found not to be as good as usual at
this time of year, yet the party had
plenty of trout to eat while on the
trip, and a few to bring home to the
family. The trip consumed 5 days,
and was enjoyed immensely.

For the first time in historv the
International Anti-Alcohol Congress
will meet in America at its next bi
ennial session, July 6 to July 10, inclusive.
This is made possible bv the fol
lowing provision in the Diplomatic
and Consular bill just passed by Congress:
For the purpose of defray
ing the expenses incident to the1
fifteenth International Con
gress Against Alcoholism, to be
held in the United States in 1914
$40,000 (is appropriated) to be ex
pended under such rules and
regulations as the Secretary of
State may prescribe. The Sec
retary of State is hereby author-
ized and requested to extend an
invitation to the governments of
the world with which we main
tain diplomatic relation, to par
ticipate in and appoint delegates
to said congress, provided, that
an itemized account of all ex
penditures shall be reported to
congress."
At the last International f!nn cress
held at Milan, Italy, in 1913, on the
invitation of he Italian government,
it was voted to hold the Congress for
1915 in America, preferably on an At
lantic seaboard resort of the United
States.
Now that Concrress has appropriat
ed the necessary funds and extended
the necessary invitation, the next
Congress in America is assured. The
American Committee on promotion
has decided upon Atlantic City as the
place of the Catherine and the Audi
torium on the "Million Dollar Pier"
has already been reserved for the
use of the International meeting.
This will be the fifteenth biennial
gathering of this sort. Nearly thir
ty years ago, these international
gatherings were instituted bv Euro
pean scientists for the purpose of an
impartial and scientific study of the
alcohol problem and for measures
for its suppression or eradication.
In a few years, these Congresses
began to receive official recognition
from the governments of Europe and
have become semi official in their
character. For a dozen vears these
gatherings have been held each time
on the direct invitation of soma nn
of the Powers of the Continent. The
Congress for 1913 was held at Milan
Italy, on the invitation of the King
of Italy. The Congress for 1911 was
held at The Hague on the invitation
of the Queen of Holland. In 1909, it
