"Mr. I'arker Favs further that for tne
first two months of the prewnt tical
year the expenses exceed the receipts
by ILM .000,000, and adds:
"How much more we have run tie-
hind since I am unable to state, because
tin- public has lieen denied all informa
tion pending the camiiaign. Ibis is a
very remarkable statement, and Judge
Parker must have made it on the spur
of the moment without reflection. He
surely knows that the Treasury issues
and publishes a daily bulletin each day
and a monthly bulletin each month giv
ing tbe receipts and expenses by the
day and month, and that these bulletins
are regularly published in all the lead
ing papers of the country. For instance
the bulletin of October 20, the dav be
fore the Judge made the Bpeech referred
to, show the deficit up to that day, from
July 1 to be $20,33ti,542, a decrease of
about 14,000,000 during Septemlier and
np to October 20. Should this rate be
Increased of receipts over expenses con
tinue, it is quite certain the deficit of
July and August, so alarming to the
Judge, would lie wiped out during the
year?
"The student of government finance
understands perfectly that expenses are
heaviest at the beginning of the fiscal
year, and that a deficit for the first
raonthe is to be expected nd is no evi
dence that it will continue through tne
months to follow.
"If Judge Parker would apply to the
Treasury Department for information
as to the methods of Government busi
ness and the condition of the public fi
nances, he would get prompt and accur
ate information and avoid the embar
rassment of being led into very palpable
errors."

next Tuesdav evening, Nov. 1st, in that famous frontier drama, "Oaw

and two surveying parties are in the ' cance. Mr. Smith is president of the

owns 17.000 acres of Coos county
timber. It is desired to get the lum
ber back over the belt line and over a
railroad to the Eastern market. To
this purpose nothing is accomplished
by stopping at Roseburg. Lumber at
Roseburg is worth even less than it is

1HE FURNITURE MAN
From all indications Jeffries will be
greeted by a capacity audience and a
little more when he appears at the
Roseburg theatre next Tuesday evening
with his company in a revival of "Davy
Crockett". He has fourteen people in
his organization. One of the members
of the champion's retinue is William
Delany, who first brought Jeffries to
the fore and has been his counselor and
adviser ever since Delaney is a prince
in the sporting world and is a thorough
bred gentleman whose name and word
is good at any bank in America for any
thing he may ask for. It is Delaney
who has directed Jeffries fortunes. He
performed the same service for others
in the athletic world and whenever he
was with them tbev were invincible.
As soon as they broke away from him
their downfall quickly followed. Delaney
is a good Judge for human nature, and
one of the things that Jeffries deserves
credit for is that he never was troubled
with the swelled bead, and heisstaunch
in his loyalty to his old time friends,
and it is a quality that has made him
such a favorite with all classes of people.
He is furthermore moderate in his hab
its and is blessed with a good wife, who
accompanies her husband on his present
pass along the stage road up the mid
dle fork of the Coquille. The route
up the north fork of the Coos River
by Loon I-ake and through Elkton
Pass has also been explored. It is
believed the most feasible route is
from Myrtle Point to Camas Valley
through a low pass east of the Mount
ain House to Looking Class Valley,
down Looking Glass Creek to Happy
Valley and eight miles up the Urap-
qua to Roseburg.
This route gives a grade nowhere of the 0. R. & N. Co., and not the

Jaw. Inman, of Looking Class,
Houghs county. Oregon, Independent
candidate for the presidency, was in
Roseburg Wednesday on business,
part of which was political, at least
so far as complying with the request
of an agent of the press association
in having a photograph taken of him
self and home, which is to accompany
a short biography of hLs life, and also
his platform in full, which has been
typwritten, all of which will be fur
nished the Press of the country a
soon as the negative can be de
veloped. Mr. Inman says he founds his plat
form on truth, since truth is the
easiest backed up, and that truths
must we teach to save a retrogres
sive nation, politically speaking.
The first plank in his platform
treats on the labor question and like
all the rest is treated scientifically.

succeeding plank befits and aids the
one following, thus reading grace.

with no uncertain meaning. I'nlike
some platforms of the present and
past that go bumping along like an
old wagon over a poorly constructed
corduroy road, with uncertain mean
ing to the subject matter, yet with

His second plank is on money, the
third on pensions and the fourth on
the tariff. The foregoing planks, he
laims. fully embracing the para
mount issues of the campaign.
The next plank is on whiskey or
the Prohibition question, which is
treated in a natural light, all of
which including some following
planks, are centered in money.
The next plank is on Woman Suf-
ferage, which is given a thorough
treatment.
The next one of importance is on
good roads, containtaing a few new
ideas on the matter.
The one following is on the burn
ing Philippine question which is given
justice, for as Ella Wheeler Wilcox
says "nothing is ever settled until it
is settled right,"
The four planks following are on
the race question, including the
Chinese, the Japanese, our Negro
race question and the Ruso-Japanese
war, which after all is virtually a
race question, all of which are treated
practicality, therefore uncontrover
table, and will be of much interest to
the world and coming history.
The next plank of importance is
the Mormon 'question, which is treated
justly and fearlessly. Mr. Inman
claims that he is not afraid to ex
press his honest thoughts on any pub
lic or private question.
Another plank is on the election
of U. S. Senators by a direct vote of
the people and he gives his reasons
for favoring the measure.
Concluding planks concern the
marriage and divorce question, the
God in the Constitution and the
Papal delegate to Washington.
There are two planks favoring the
annulment of two unconstitutional
laws on the U. S. statutes, which re
ceives a careful, just, scientific and
instructive treatment.
The platform concludes with an ap
pendix giving a short biography of
the candidate's life, and with an ap
peal to the voters of the country
to rote for their own interests the
Co-operative commonwealth, not for
the capitalists nor their ticket where
interest in private gain begotten by
exploiting them.
Mr. Inman also informs the public
that adequate methods have been
adopted, wherein all the counties of
all the states will bear his name on
the ticket with the rest to be voted
for. He also announces that if the
press association publishes his Plat
form in full, though it be but a week
before election, he will get the votes
of the farmers, the soldiers, the
mechanics, the tradesmen and a large
portion of the news-paper fraternity
