Hon- Binder Hermann delivers Rn Able Address to an Enthusiastic Audience. The presidential campaign was formally opened by tho re publicans of Benton county, at the court house last Saturday evening with a vim and' vigor that eliminates all idea of apathy among supporters of McKinley and Roosevelt in this section. Prominent republicans, and many democrats, who have known Mr. Hermann for years began arriving in town early in the aiternoon and by evening the streets were fairly crowded. An excursion brain from Albany accompanied by the excellent band of that city arrived at eight o'clock, and when the exercises of the evening began the large court room was thoroughly filled, notwithstanding the inolemenoy or the weather. A short program oonsisting of songs by the Filipino quartet and Albany band preceded the address of the evening, and hearty encores followed each number. The quartet is one of the best organizations of the kind ever heard in a campaign in this county, and Albany's band is a credit to itself and the oity to which it belongs. Attorney J. H. Wilson pre sided over the meeting and in his announcements stated that the meeting had been called to organize a McKinley and Roose velt club. After "America" had been sung with much enthusiasm by the entire audience, Mr. Her mann was introduced as the speaker of the evening. He was greeted with hearty applause, and during his remarks was fre quently interrupted with shouts ef approval. The speaker said in part: "Our opponents attempt to create issues when tliere is no basis for them. They charge us with imperialism when there is no such thing as imperialism in this proud, republic of ours. There is no democrat or populist who is honest who will falsify his conscience with the statement that imperialism or militarism has been introduced by a republican administration, for if they do we can remind them that there was more mriT tarism far back in the beginning of the century; that there was more more mili tarism then than there is now under the administration of William McKinley. Statistics will show us that there is now but one soldier to every thousand people who make up this republic. There is a smaller standing army in this country today in proportion to its population than in any other countrv in the world. "They claim that we favor expansion; but there is no 6uch issue at this time as expansion that has become an estab lished fact. We have expanded already. It is now a question of contraction. "The real iene today before the peo ple of the United States, plain and un disguised, is, Arc the principles of the republican party to be approved, and unuer a republican administration is there to be a continuance of our present prosperity and a maintenance of our national honor? " It is not enough that we have good laws, but we should have a good admin istration to enforce these laws. Every pledge made by the republican party to the people four years ago has been re deemed. Never since the days of Grant has a president been confronted by exigencies and crises so important and so delicate as has William McKinley, and never has a chief magistrate met these grave responsibilities with more unswerving fidelity and noble, manly action than has President McKinley. We may look at his 40 years of public career, and we find not a single blemish . During the administration of no other president do we discover greater results than those attained by William McKin ley. "When they talk of imperialism, they forget that the republican party is the party that has made free hemes for the homeless all over this country and was the party that struck the shackles from over 3,000,000 slaves ; further, that it was the republican party that arose in its might and preserved the Union from destruction; that it was the republican party that drove imperialism from Mex ico and saved that country ; that it was the republican party that saved Hawaii from a monarch's rule and raised over that people the Stars and Stripes, the emblem of liberty, that the immediate predecessor of William McKinley, as president, hauled down, but which has again been raised to the place where it no if proudly floats. It was President McKinley aid the republican party that removed Spanish dominion from Cuban soil, and it was under a republican ad ministration that the old flag was floated in remote lands where until lately floated the emblems of empire and roy alty. Is such a party a party of im perialism? Point, if you can, to a sin gle ptesident under a republican admin istration who has failed to perform the duties imposed upon him. . The records speak for themselves. Along with the record of the immortal Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Harrison, we point with pride to the statesman, diplomat and soldier William McKinley. "When McKinley was inangurated president he found the treasury depleted, the country bankrupt, smokeless fac tories, armies of idle men marching over the country, with their families crying for bread. Confronted with these con- ditions, he brought order out ef chaos, 1 plenty out of want and brought the coun try up to Its present degree of prosperity. It was necessary for him to take up the thread where the republican party left it in 1892, and carry out the principles and doctrines of republicanism, and again redeem the pledges of the repub lican party. The difficulties growing out of tho Spanish war were conducted with diplomatic and military skill that will cause the acts of the president to live in the best history of the country. Hardly had these trying difficulties been adjusted when there arose the complica tions with China. These complications have been promptly met, and there is promise of an early solution in a manner befitting the exalted dignity and national pride of the Nation . "You don't hear any more about the crime of '73 ; no more about 'per capity' : no more about the gold bag, and still less about the bloated bondholder all these have disappeared like the fabric of a dream. 'In 1896 we were a debtor nation : to day we are a creditor nation. Three years ago there were three men to every job : today there are three jobs lor every man. Three years ago there was much sadness; today there is much gladness. Three years ago many people were talk ing mucn without much thinking; to day many people are thinking much and talking little. So, in order to catch the labor vote, the Bryan party has In some states in serted a plank in their platform for shoitening the hours of labor. We do not deny that if Bryan is elected that the laborer's hours would be shortened. In fact, a democratic administration would make the hours of the laborer so short that he woulk have no hours at all. "It would have been better if we had to have Mr. Bryan, to have- elected him in I89S than in 1900. But now, when the magnificent temple of American in dustries has been erected, we are asked to tear down this wonderful monument of our national prosperity. "Mr. Bryan says the republican party puts the dollar before the man,' and we take him to mean what he says. The republican administration in the last four years has put more dollars before the man than he e ver saw before, and the best part of it is that when we put that dollar before the man there is 100 cents in the dollar. One-fifth of the world's gold today . Is in the United States." At the close of the address the organization of a McKinley and Roosevelt club was effected. Mr. J. B. Irvine was chosen, presi dent; W. S. Linville, vice-presi dent; J. H. Wilson, secretary, and J. R. Smith, treasurer. A vote ot thank were extended to Mr. Hermann, and the Albany band which had so kindly as sisted in the exercises. v The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. Home From Cook's Inlet. Henry Howell, A. L,. Baldwin and others, arrived in this city from Cook's Inlei Sunday, com ing via San Francisco. They have been up there all summer in the employ of the Alaskan Sample Company which is en gaged in the salmon canning in dustry. They did not succeed in doing a very large business in the way of canning, as they were obliged to build their can nery before they conld put up any salmon. However, they did a fair business. They report that all the canneries heretofore established on the Alaskan coast did a fair business. Fish were so thick at times that when rowing in a boat it was almost impossible to get the oars in the water. As to whether they will return to the North again depends on circumstances. Mr. Baldwin, whose home is in Waldport, states that he was very '.agreeably surprised by the appearance of the country around Cook's Inlet. He says there is some pretty good land there, and seems to think that it is capable of producing crops -if properly cultivated. The party went over to Waldport yesterday. Shingles and Doors.

Wells, from his sons, who are now at L,e uuc, JN. w. 1. , it is stated that snow had fallen at that place August loth, to the depth of two mcnes. Families who can accommodate young lady students of the O A C with board and loigine, or who wish to secure the services of young lady students for their board and lodging, will kindly notify Dean P. Beachtold of the faculty. The improvement recently made by W. S. Gardner on his photo graph studio and residence property is wortny 01 special mention. The building has been remodeled and enlarged, is attractively painted, and plainly shows that Mr. Gard ner is well to the fore in the march of progress. H. W. Hall has just received an elegant assortment "of campaign horns. They are all the rage now in the East, and a political rally isn't considered complete without them. They make as much noise for one party as another. Local campaigners should secure a sup ply from Mr. Hall immediately. They are vote-getters. A day or two ago a party carried some ashes out and threw them down back of the Occidental hotel. There they were left, the party be ing under the impression that they contained no fire. By chance they were noticed later, when fire was very much in evidence. Persons having occasion to throw ashes out cannot use too much caution as to where they place them and whether they contain fire or not. George Eglin is in receipt of a card from Joseph Gratha, of Allen ton, Mo., in which the latter ex presses a desire for information re garding the general resources of this country. Mr. Gratha wants to know how land rents, the price asked for land improved and unim proved, wages of men and women, something about the hop industry, fruit, potatoes, etc. He states that he is going to move to this county and wishes to bring a few families along with him. Prosperity item clipped from the Albany Democrat: "A man travel ing through the country between Albany and Harrisburg counted thirteen new barns, six new houses and ten new windmills, ell put up this year. Seven of the windmills by the way, were Aermoter. This is a pretty good sign of prosperity regardless of poor wheat crop and low wheat prices. Farmers have turned their attention to other things sufficiently so that they are not completely dependent upon their wheat crops. While so much that is dismal is being chronicled concerning the failure of the wheat crop, it is pleas ant to publish an Item like the fol lowing. Mr. Jas. Wilkinson, who lives a few miles south of town, re cently cut his crop of 26 aorea of timothy hay, the yield being ISO tons. Last week he sold 1U2 ton of it for approximately $1,000. Mr. Wilkinson has realized $40 per acre for his 26 acres of hay. Speak ing of the general failure of the wheat throughout the state, Mr. Wilkinson said the theory advanced that failure was due to impover ished soil is not a correct one. He planted a small strip of wheat on virgin land last year and its yield was no better than that of land that had been sown in wheat for years. While continued growing of wheat will in time impoverish any land, present failure is due to some other cause.
