BRYAN DECLARES
AGAINST
Nebraskan Comes Out Un
equivocally for Regulation
by County Option.
LIQUOR AND VICE LINKED
Democracy Is Urged to Divorce It
self From Interests Which, He
Says, Are Constantly TTsed
lo Dcbanch Politics.
U.VCOUN', Neb.. Feb. X2. (Special.)
W. J. Bryan has come out flat-footed
for county option, and declares De
mocracy must divorce itself from the
liquor interests, because an alliance
with the saloon can generally be re
garded as an alliance with vice. The
saloon, he says. Is constantly used to
debauch politics and to prevent the in
telligent consideration of public ques
tions. The liquor interests, he declares,
made themselves odious at the last ses
sion of the Nebraska Legislature by
preventing the submission of the Intl
ative and referendum.
Mr. Bryan declares the right of the
Government to regulate the sale of
liquor cannot be denied, and the right
to make the county the unit of regu
lation Is JuBt as plain. The people
who pay taxes, ho contends, should
have a voice In determining the sys
tem to be employed for regulating the
sale of liquor.
Leaders Hope for Retirement,
Mr. Bryan's statement Is to form the
leading editorial of next week's Com
moner. Locally It is regarded as an
epoch-making departure by the Demo
cratic leader, and is calculated to retire
Mr. Bryan as the dominating force in
Nebraska politics if other leaders of the
party can bring It about. His statement
in part is as follows:
"The saloon; not every one, but as a
rule; is an alliance with vice. It Is con
stantly used to dobauch politics and to
prevent the intelligent consideration of
public questions. The liquor interests in
terfere In all matters that may even re
motely affect their Interests. They made
themselves odibus at the last session of
the Nebraska Legislature,
"To, favor county option it is not ne
cessary that one shall favor prohibition
in his own or any other county. One's
devotion to popular government ought not
to depend upon his approval of any par
ticular policy of government. Democrats,
for Instance, will not lose free Institu
tions merely because the Republicans ob
tain control of the government. The
people have a right to govern themselves,
and their risht does not depend upon
how they exercise that right.
State Prohibition Mentioned.
"No one doubts the town or city1
right to act upon the liquor question, or
the right of the precinct or the right of
the state. Why question the right of the
county? It la sometimes objected that
prohibition by the act of the county, sus
pends the right of the precinct or city to
decide the question for itself. It Is also
objected that county option is only a'step
toward state prohibition. This would not
be a valid object, evon if the fact wero
admitted. If the people of a state have
the right to prohibit the sale of liquor
over the entire state, they have the right
to authorize counties to prohibit within
their borders.
"The Democrats had a majority in both
branches for the first time in the state's
history, and the splendid record of the
leialnture had but one- blot In It, and
that blut was put there by the liquor In
terests. They controlled enough of the
Hcnatoiti to prevent the submission of
'. ti. initiative and referendum. They were
i:iiiiK to deny to the people of the state
t' riKht lo express themselves on any
question rather than risk the use of the
initiative and referidum for the sub
mission' of tlK liquor question. Insolence,
arrogance and ' 'impudence cannot go
til rt her.
"Tho Democratic party cannot afford
to act as The mouthpiece of the liquor
interests. It can have nothing in com
mon with the selfish, mercenary and con
scienceless crusade that the liquor In
terests have organized against the home
ond tho j-tate; against private virtue and
public morals."
CASTLE ROCK GLADDENED

DAYTON NOW MODEL TOWN
Washington City's Major Denies
Ker-ort of "Booie" Selling.
HATTON. Wash., Feb. 12. (Special.)
That many local option elections are
to be held in towns of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho shortly, is evidenced
by the number of letters received re
cently by Mayor Muirhead, of Dayton,
inquiring about conditions, morally,
financially, commercially and other
wise in Dayton since the town was
voted "dry" a year ago. These letters
are wiitte-i by men prominent in polit
ical, municipal and business life of the
towns represented. ,
Information Is constantly being col
lected here for the benefit of the in
quirers. Mayor Muirhead said today
that false reports had been circulated
by the Columbia Chronicle, organ of
the "wets'" here. The statement of this
paper that more "booze" is being con
sumed here under the "dry" regime.
Mayor Muirhead emphatically denies. In
a letter sent by him to Lewiston, Idaho,
today in response to Inquiries he says:
"Observations and inquiries have con
vinced me that drunkenness Is diminished
here by at least 75 -per cent. The city,
both financially and commercially was
never In better condition. Business men
almost without except declare themselves
in favor of a 'dry' town. The tax
levy was reduced this year 1 mill al
though the saloon revenue was curtailed.
Dayton is now facing another wet and
dry election and the drya will win easily'."
SIX SPRAYINGS NEEDED
CORVALLIS MAN GIVES PRO
GRAM3LE OF ORCIIAKDISTS.
Nursery Stock Xot Inspected Should
Be Refused, Apple Culture
Club Is Told.
Professor John C. Bridwell, head of
the department of entomology at tho
Oregon Agricultural College, speaking
last night before the Apple Culture
Club in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium
on the subject of "The Insect Pests of
Young Orchards." dwelt on the dif
ferent pests which infect the orchards
of the Willamette Valley and outlined
means for their extermination.
The peculiarities and habits of the
following pests were described: San
Jose scale, woolly aphis, apple and
wheat aphis, brown apple aphis, apple
tree borers, grasshoppers and climb
ing cut worms. In telling of the
proper sprays to be used in the battle
against fruit tree pests, he said:
"The summer strength lime, spray
should be diluted 24 times and the
Winter strength 12 times. Lead ar
senate should be used in the propor
tion of two pounds to every 60 gallons
of material.
"A regular routine of six sprays is
almost necessary to prevent the rav
ages of pests in the Willamette Val
ley. The first spray for the scab, should
be applied when the petals begin to
show color; the second spray for cod
ling moth and scab after the petals
have fallen, the third spray of lime
sulphur for scab alono two weeks 'af
ter the second spray, the fourth spray
of lead arsenate about July 1 for the
codling "moth, the fifth spray on Aug
ust 1 for codling moth; the fifth spray
should be used in Winter strength, af
ter the fruit is picked.
'The apple tree borers found In
healthy trees are round-headed. Flat
headed borers are found only In un
healthy trees. The best way to pre
vent the work of the borer is to wrap
newspapers around the trunks of the
trees,
"In order to keep the San Jose scale
from spreading, all young stock sold
should bear a certificate or Inspection,
and all stock not Inspected should be
rejected and not planted."
Professor Bridwell Invited the mem
bers of the club to make use of the
experiment station at the Oregon Agri
cultural College and to ask for any
information wanted on horticultural
or entomological subjects.
After the address Mrs. Harry John
ston, of the Trinity choir, sang "Just
a Song at Twilight" and "I Love but
Thee.''

published that Mr. Roosevelt will be in

which Is frequently . suggested by the
paragraphers of the press.
That tho ex-President will be thus
honored is denied with much positlveness
by one of the news agencies today.
One editorial commentator suggests that
the Emperor must have consideration for

stratively his regard for tho President's

a four months' leave of absence, and
at the end of that time will ask for
retirement.
Trouble Arises Through Jealousy.
Civil officials In this city attribute
the entire affair to the jealousy of
General Maus. According to military
ethics, it is said. General Maus should
have been consulted and in any tele
grams and negotiations regarding the
housing of the army of "reds" the
name of Maus should have appeared.
But these ethics, it Is affirmed, were
not known or not thought of by Mayor
K. 6. Pratt when the I. W. W. affair
was at its height and probably not
known or thought of by I. M. Howell,
Secretary of State, who was acting
Governor at that time and who car

VATICAN REPLIES
TO METHODISTS
Mission in Rome Denounced as
Bitterly Anti-Papal and ,
Proselytizing.
FAIRBANKS GIVEN PRAISE
Pafml Organ Gives Him Credit for
Tolerance and Defends His Ac
tion in Speaking to Methodists
on Plea of Ignorance.
ROMii Feb. 12. Ttie "Weekly Review,
Rome, the organ of English-speaking
Catholics, today publishes a long edi
torial on Charles "W. Fairbanks, as Vice
President of the United States, which is
believed to have been Inspired by the
Vatican. The editorial says:
"Mr. Fairbanks' Protestantism is broad
and logical and allows him to put his
stalwart shoulder to the wheel to help
on every good cause. Though a strong
party man In politics, his devotion to
party does not make him desire the
disappearance of all parties but his own,
and he has the same theory with re
gard to religion. He is a Methodist,
but he has no wish that Methodism
should be the only religion In America.
"Mr. Fairbanks is a type of millions
of good Americans, friendly to the Cath
olic church and believing that it makes
little difference what a man's religion
is. provided he does his best to live up
to it."
After reviewing the incident between
Mr. Fairbanks and the. Vatican, the re
view emphasizes the tolerance of the
Vatican and points out that a man may
pass his whole life working in the Vati
can archives and. galleries without even
being questioned as to whether he is
a Turk or an atheist. He may even be
a diplomatic representative to the Vati
can without being a Catholic
"But even the all-embracing liberality
of the Vatican," continues the Review,
"cannot Include the Methodist organiza
tion here, which entered Rome through
the. breach mada September 20. 1ST0, with
Garibaldi's red shirts. Many animosities
have resulted, but they have made no
change in the spirit of the system of
the Methodists. Their organization does
not minister to the wants of visiting
Methodists here, but is directed towards
perverting the faith of the people.
"Not only that, but the Methodists
have always been bitterly and avowedly
anti-papal, eagerly welcoming' every op
portunity to discharge their venom
against Catholicism. Statistics compiled
by themselves show that tho cost of mak
ing a single Roman a Methodist aver
ages seven thousand francs ($1400). In
the last forty years they have spent
112,000,000 In this unholy work of prose
lyting Catholics, especially Catholic chil
dren. "Mr. Fairbanks did not know these facts
or he would- mt have given his promise
to speak In the Methodist church 24
hours before the time fixed for his
audience with the Pope. Otherwise ho
would have understood how Incompatible
was his public appearance in this hot
bed of anti-Catholic proselytlsm and
anti-papal bitterness with an audience
with the Pope."

ably be taken to Prineville tomorrow
to await development in Russell's case.
