Fulton has virt ually received another slap from Roosevelt. Heney has abandoned Bristol in the time o f trouble. War- horses of the Republican party have been passed by for a man who w b b a Populist and Socialist. Lawyers o f long standing at the bar have been sidetracked for a man who has been admitted only a tew years and has had hut limited practice. That the saloons operating about the county outside of corporated towns will in the future be restrict ed from opening their doors on Sun day is now a foregone conclusion. District Attorney Brown having tendered this statement for publica tion late last Friday afternoon and said: “ We have no jurisdiction over saloons in corporated towns but we have over those not includ ed in this list and we propose in the future to see that they are op erated according to law.” One of the neatest and most ar tistic special editions of a local paper to come to our table recently was the "Home” edition of the Junction City Times. It consisted of 1C pages o f well written articles on the resources of its community and the county in general and con tained 111 nice, plain printed illus trations of homes, business houses and industrial scenes about Junction City.

Hundreds of Japanese are leav ing Oregon and Washington for Japan pursuant to the mikado’s or ders. Perhaps they suspicion that the Pacific-bouud squadron may take a notion to maneuver in Japan ese waters. The exodus can hardly be accounted for unless warlike preparations is the order in Japan. As to the monopolies, the trusts are getting them in shape so they can be passed over to the people, as soon as the people have reached a point where they can manage them.
