served In the cars on their arrival.
After the repast the party again took
to the highway and walked the rest

bers of the party with surprise and
wonderment. They were unanimous in
singing the praises of the beautiful
route and lou-d In their congratulations
of Mr. Yeon.

DRY NATION SLOGAN
OF PROHIBITIONISTS
Determination to Make Legis
lation Effective Evident at
State Conference.
POLITICAL MERGER HINTED
Comfort Found in Belief That Mr,
Bryan' Will Endeavor to Hare
Democratic Party Espouse
Cause of Dry Country.
The Prohibition party of Oregon will
keep up the fight steadfastly for a dry
Nation.
It will endeavor t
o strengthen Its
and the other parties will play with
the law as they have before."
Mr. Amos caused a laugh when he
said that if the vote cast 'for Judge
Bright, the Prohibition candidate for
Supreme Judge. 40.953. were to be sub
tracted from the total dry vote. "Ore
gon would be wet. together with the
Democratic Republican and Socialist
parties."
"I submit that the Prohibition party
carried the state for the dry amend
ment," he said.
"If we intend to make everybody re
spect the law." said Dr. W. IS- H in son.
"our work has merely started. There
are those who will try to trip this
reform, and it is our business to trip
them. Republican. Democrat, or anyone
else. Whoever juggles with this law
is tno man we should turn against."
H. W. Stone, for the committee of
100, gave credit to all the organizations
that took part in the fight for a dry
Oregon, paying particular tribute to
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and to J. E. Wheeler, chairman
cf the committee of 100. -
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
Amos, and adopted, expressing confi
dence in the Committee of One "Hun
dred, and in its ability to suggest the
proper supplementary legislation for
enactment by the Legislature.
"Shall We Finish the JobT" was the
subject of an address by State Secre
tary Taylor, who urged that the Pro
hibition party should never delegate Its
task to any other political organiza
tion, but should maintain a vigorous
fight for National prohibition until that
end shall be accomplished.

CORN SHOW ENDS TODAY
Doors of Old Louvre Close on Prize
Displays' Tonight.'
The Corn Show in the old Louvre,
Fourth and Alder streets, which rep
resents 300 bushels of prize-winning
variety from the Oregon-Washington
Railroad & Navigation Company's show
held recently at Walla Walla, will close
at 10 o'clock tonight.
The corn includes every variety and
represents prize exhibits of one, three
and five-acre plots of irrigated and
non-irrigated land. The red, black,
white, yellow and variegated ears make
an attractive display. Some of the
corn shocks are 13 feet high.
The corn is grown everywhere, from
sea level to an altitude of 3700 feet, in
Oregon, Idaho and Washington and Is
used for dairying purposes or swine
feed. D. S. .Smith, assistant agriculturist
of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, who Is
In charge of the show, believes that
there was six times as much land un
der cultivation for corn in the North
west this year than there was last year,
and yet there is scarcely any on sale,
as farmers grow it for their own use.
Mr. Smith said that the quality was
25 per cent better than ever before and
that It ranked higher than corn of the
East and Middle West. Malheur County
had 32 exhibitors at its corn fair at
Ontario and 11 stated that their corn
went 98 bushels to the acre. '
Nez Perce Indians won some prizes
and children were successful competi
tors at Walla Walla. The nearest corn
fields of any size to Portland are lo
cated near Troutdaltt.

organization as never before, with the
idea of electing Prohibitionists to office
to Insure the enforcement of the dry
amendment adopted at the recent elec
tion.
This was the sentiment of those who
gathered for the annual state confer
ence of the party in the T. M. C. A.
auditorium yesterday.
There was less of a tone of rejoicing
at recent success than of determination
to make existing dry legislation effec
tive and extend Its scope.
An article from the pen of Secretary
of State Bryan on the liquor question
was referred to at the morning session
by J. P. Newell, state chairman, who
interpreted It to mean that "Bryan will
attempt to force the Democratic party
to espouse the cause of National pro
hibition." There was an echo of this idea in the
report of the "What Next?" committee
at the afternoon session, in which it
was set forth that the party should
continue active "until some other or
ganization, declaring as vigorously and
as consistently as we for the destruc
tion of the National liquor traffic, and
with better chances than the Prohibi
tion party of success,, shall arise."
There was another hint of a possible
hope that some more powerful party
will "go prohibition" in the remarks
of Rev. Hiram Gould, of Newberg,
who said that it ia.important to know
"what the Progressives are going to
do to recover themselves."
"If they come out for prohibition,"
he asked, "what are we going to do?
Are we going to accept their declara
tion and join them?
"The Progressive party committed the
unpardonable sin," he continued, "when
they formed their' first platform and
left out prohibition. If" they adopted it
now, people would say It was for policy
only. No party that has heretofore re
pudiated prohibition is likely to be
trusted by the people, unless there are
removals of some of the leaders by
death or otherwise.
"Colonel Roosevelt does not die eas
ily." said Mr. Gould, in answer to a
question as to his meaning. "There is
a good deal of cat blood in Roosevelt."
"The time may never come when the
Prohibition party as It Is now known
shall be elected to power," said J. Allen
Dunbar, chairman of the Multnomah
County committee, in discussing the
efficacy of the "enfollment plan," "but
some party committed to the destruc
tion of the liquor traffic will come to
power."
Professor Coe, who Is editor of the
state party organ, the Pacific Patriot,
told the conference that the publica
tion had paid Its own way up to the
present time, and urged that its pub
lication be continued.
"How to Reach the Woman Voter"
was the subject of a vigorous address
by Mrs. Mary L. Mallett. president of
the Multnomah County Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, who urged the
party to be broad enough to take in
not only the prohibition question, but
all issues affecting the welfare of hu
manity. "If you want the women's votes," she
said, "you'll have to propose more than
to do away with the liquor traffic The
time is soon at hand when everybody
will want to do away with that, and
there are many other things in which
women are interested."
Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden spoke briefly,
saying that she had been "trying to
preach prohibition and righteousness."
The general subject. "The Amend
ment Victory," was disopssed from the
several standpoints of the W. C. T. U.,
the Prohibition party and the Commit
tee of One Hundred at the annual ban
quet last night.
For the W. C. T. U.. Its state presi
dent, Mrs. Jennie Kemp, told of the
long, hard fight made by the members
of that body, giving credit to the allies
that have taken up the- battle with
them in later years.
"We have felt," said Mrs. Kemp,
"that back of the public sentiment that
gave us the victory, after 41 years of
constant agitation stands the educa
tional work in a large measure. This
sentiment hasn't just happened. It has
been built up through years of .patient
work." . ,
"If you want to see the prohibition
law made into a laughing stock." said
L H. Amos, who spoke for the Prohibi
tion party, "let the Prohibition party
go out of business. Let that happen
cratic-Prohlbltion candidate for State
Treasurer at the reeent election, gave
some oi nis campaign experiences.
"I desire to extend credit for as
sisting in the result of the dry cam
paign," said Mr. Paget, "to certain per
sons who have not as yet been men
tioned, this, evening. I refer to the
I. W. W.'s, Tom Burns. Abe Hershin
and a lad named Reese, who did good
work night after night on the streets.
Also I think we should, recognize the

"BLOOD WILL TELL"
The Heroes of the war.
"Blood will tell." Is an axiom that
in all the ages has never been gain
said. Every man who does a brave,
heroic act carries within his veins a
quality of blood that urges and Sus
tains him. No matter whether he in
herits it from a long line of famous
ancestors or from the sound and
healthy constitution of his Immediate
parents, whose only distinction Is hon
orable toll and a simple, virtuous life.
It matters little where or how yo
obtain it, but it matters all the world
that by some means you possess good
Dlood. Good blood is first, last and
always the making ot manly men and
womanly women. It is the source of
all courage, virtue and happiness.
