herds of sheep and cattle have been

Publicity of expenditures is desir- tlon, and begin to become the truly
able to6ir but' not, as Mr. Taft says, great state for which nature de-
so important,;or kt least not so prac- signed it,

time before the election, and can be
announced at once. The expendi
tures .contintie until the eve of elec-
opnoslte view on the Question of Chi'
nene immigration. It Is important for
. in the forest reserves? Sixteen mil
'lion acres of these ranges are owned
; by the federal government and one
. tenth as much by the state by Ore
gon. Great herds of nomad cattle
, and sheep, some owned out of the
state, some in it, are grazed on
, these lands, and with never a care
or thought for the conservation of
, the grass. Sheep that ought to be
left on them for not more than two
or three days, and then be removed
; . to other sections, are kept on the
lands for weeks, or until the last
; vstlge of grass is eaten away. It is
a process , that is gradually eating
the, heart; out. Qf the country, and
, what gives it an ugly phase is, that
it" is to nomad cattle and sheep
kings, here today and out of Ore
gon tomorrow, that the usufruct
goes..
There is no reason why leases of
these districts to medium or small
stockmen should not be made. If
lease of four or fire years were glv
' en, .the lessee would become Inter
. ested in protecting the grass Bup-
ply. . He could afford to sink wells
- ana Dona stock fences. He would
become a. thrifty citizen, one' less to
live in the congested cities, one more
to build an empire beyond the Cas-
, cades. ; Th". fees collected for rents
could be applied to building roads
through the region, the only way In
which highways apparently will ever
become . possible. For destruction
there would be substituted an era of
construction in settlement and 'de
velopment. The great ravaging herds
of .sheep like those of Lux and Mil

from Oregon and taking it to Califor

HE movement announced jtrom
Minneapolis for the uniting of
all workingmen for Bryan,
whether union or non-union,
will interest labor everywhere. The
movement is promoted by the Min
nesota state federation of labor, and
la said to be at the instance of Go ro
pers who will push It in all states.
Irrespective -of its effect on the
campaign, the outcome will be a
matter of much gravity. If work-
ltgmen do not unite now for their
own common defense, it is doubtful
if they ever will. They have the
votes and could carry measures of
importance to themselves If they
would move to concentrate their
forces. Their mistake is that they
listen to the siren song of partisan
ship, and the false representations
of partisan spellbinders who at other
tbsn campaign time, care no more
for a working-man than for a can
nibal. It is a mistake that "the in
terests," those who oppress labor.
never make. They vote solidly. They
find out which candidate beat suits
their purposes and mass their forces
and spend their millions in his sup
port. The usual effect is to give
them victory in spite of the fact that
the workingmen have the votes and
could. If united, easily have their
way at the polls.
In the present election, labor has
the chance to overthrow govern
ment by injunction. The Issae Is
clearly -aad distinctly presented to
them for decision. They went to the
Chicago convention and asked for an
anti-injunction planV but the plank
was promptly rejected. They went
to the Denver convention, and there
secored adoption cf the plank pre
pared by labor leaders. Repudiation
of them and their plank by one con
vention, and acceptance by the other
presents the issae so sharply that
there la no chanee of error. It if a
