EDITORIAL COMMENT A STROMI ARtll Ml NT MADE STRONGER. ready suffered humiliation from the policy of non-support pro posed. And it has suffered fin ancially. We are led to believe many immigrants have turned aside to settle in Washington or elsewhere and the financial sup port they would have given us has been lost all because of a fancied economy.’ Two cents on a thousand dollars is a small tax. The taunts Oregon has had from other states have cost her more than that. neither make such laws, nor elect the men who make them, nor the judges who interpret, sustain or annul the laws. In consequence, the protective leg islation for women and children is cruelly inadequate in contrast with the laws for men. Attorney Frank B. Rutherford, the Prohibition nominee for dis trict attorney, has for his slogan. "No saloon domination; punish election frauds; no defective in dictments.” There is an ever increasing number who are dis posed to adopt these principles.
