MARKET LETTER Rooolto and Sales at Portland Union Stock Yards. atThP0' r- 0ct "-Receipt. at the Portland Union Stock Yards (or .c weeK ending today have been as follows: Cattle,1321; calves, 333: hogs, 2258; sheep, 2356; goats, 319. The cattle market has been steady to a shade stronger than f ti,' ,..i. preceding, with a prompt call for all arrivals. The quantity of thin cattle coming into the market at his time In dicates that the pnrller . tensive feeding this winter In terri tory tributary to this market, have been changed. Due to a tightening of the money market Intending cattle feeders were not able to get the mon ey necessary for their winter and spring operations, and In consequence many of the cattle that should have gone into feed lots are now coming to market. Killers are somewhat alarmed over the promised shortage of quality cattle for the earlv am-in market, after every Influence has been brought to bear in order that more cattle will go into feed lots. This la a profitable branch of the livestock busi ness and those who make a study of conditions make the statement that this is a year when high-priced feed can be put Into cattle with safety. The hog market has been adjusted In keeping with the market East. The lower level of prices in comparison with the high mark has been set at all of the central markets in the United States, and at the lower level the mar ket has been steady to strong. The large proportion of the suDDlies of this market came from Nebraska points. The sheep market has been fairly well supplied and prices have been steady to strong. An attractive demand exists for a liberal quantity of sheep, especially of good quality. Buyers are a little bit alarmed over the scarcity of fed sheep in the country and com mission firms are asking for ship ments from distant points. Much Interest is manifested In the forthcoming meeting of the National Wool Growers Association, which will be held in Portland January 4 to 7, 1911 and the big Sheep Show that will be given at that time. Representative sales have been as follows: Steers, $4.65 to $5.65; hogs, $9.35 to $9.60; cows, $3 to $4.70; lambs, $4.75; wethers, $4.75; ewes, $3.35.

PRACTICE PROHIBITION IMPOSSIBLE UN LESS PEOPLE -WANT IT. Voters Should Consider Actual Condl- tlons Rather Than Fervid Ora torical Appeals. .. (Hillsboro Independent.) Last week The Independent gave an outline of the address of Captain Dan Smith; this week it sketches the re marks on the other side of the ques tion by Rev. E. P. Hughes, An anal ysis of the two addresses shows that up to a certain point both speakers are in accord, and they only diverge when it comes to remedies suggested. Both admit the same evils and the desirability of curbing them, but while one endeavors to show that the rem edy suggested has failed wherever ,trled, the other dismisses that phase of the question by suggesting that If It fails it will prove popular govern ment a failure. ; Now, while not ready to admit that popular government has proved a fail ure In all respects, there are not lack ing those ready to prove that It has proved Inadequate in enforcing the legislation proposed by Mr. Hughes unless backed by an overwhelming public sentiment. In the case of Hills boro the lack of that sentiment Is proven by the fact that sufficient de mand exists to' furnish business for four liquor dealers. The passage of a law cannot entirely wipe out that de mand. It is safe to presume that In the event of its passage the present dealers would close their places, leaving the demand to be met by the bootlegger and joint keeper. Follow ing the passage of a prohibitory law The Independent believes an honest effort will be made by the' authorities t.o enforce It, but as mankind is much the same the world over the same re sult will follow as elsewhere. In Dallas we find both newspapers advising the licensed saloon rather than the unlicensed joint. Tax levies have jumped from. 4.1 mills in 1906, when the town was wet, to 8.8 in 1909, when it was dry, at least dry in theory. Not only this, but communications from prominent Polk county citizens dispute -the assertion by prohibition speakers that people have been at tracted to the county because it was supposedly dry, and point to the fact that families have actually removed from at least one town because of the demoralization caused by the boot legger and blind pig. It is for this reason that thought; ful people, in thorough accord with Mr. Hughes in his desire -to better conditions, hesitate to accept his rem edy. It Is unfortunate that a spirit of Intolerance prevails and there are those who class with the dive keeper the man unwilling to accept a remedy he knows ineffectual. But we believe good citizenship and loyalty to state demand that we be not swayed by fervid oratory or sentimental appeal, but reach a decision by careful con sideration of the hard, cold facts, not as we believe they would be or as we would have them, but as experience has actually proved. WOMAN'S SHARE IN POLITICS Timely Opinion by Miss Alice Hill I Chittenden, of New York. One of the fundamental differences between the suffragist and Anti-suffragists as. I see it Is, that the former clings to the belief that the ballot in itself Is a panacea for all existing evils and all powerful as a remedial agent of government, while the latter rec ognizes, in these, opening years of the 20th Century, the development of a power more potent than the ballot a power which at present we call edu cated or enlightened public opinion. The ballot hasn't solved our child la bor problem and never will. The bal lot hasn't solved the negro trouble, it has tended rather to complicate it, but an awakened public opinion has decreed that these problems and others akin to them shall be taken out of the realm of politics and be con sidered and dealt with from an econ omic and humanitarian point of view, and this is being done through the conferences and congresses on child labor, the care of dependent children, tuberculosis and other questions, which are being held throughout this country to-day. And in these confer ences the womana voice is heard equally with the man's. She isn't ex cluded from participation in such work because she hasn't a vote, nei-j ther is her influence lessened as a member of these committees for that reason. Here Is a great field of activ ity and usefulness for woman, a rare chance to serve the state. I do not hesitate to say that those of us who are opposing the extension of suffrage to our sex, entirely elimi nate the personal element In our con sideration of tills subject. It Is not a question of whether we want to vote or do not want to vote. - We have the welfare and develop ment of our country at heart and af ter a studious contemplation of the governmental principles involved, we are firmly convinced that such "a rev olutionary change" as Mr. Gladstone called woman suffrage, would be again st the best Interests of the state, its wo men and the home, and would be a step backward rather than one in ad vance. A man in public life when Interview ed this winter on the subject of woman suffrage said "Somewhere within the borders of this country today there are mothers who are bringing up four Presidents, one hundred cabinet of ficers, three hundred Senators and five thousand representatives who be tween the years of 1930 and 1950 will be making the history of this coun try and measurably the history of the world." ' . Woman can have her share In poll tics If she nill. The ballot Isn't all. The mere ballot she Is so eager to clutch doesn't In the balance of politics count for more than an ounce. In a ton.

Voters Will Scarcely Bare to Sneeze on Election Day for Fear of Arrest. j As the general election Is near at hand, and as many persons are not familiar with the provisions of the corrupt practices act, the following is a brief outline of the principal features: ' The . corrupt, practices act, known, as the "Huntley Bill," makes it unlawful for a candi- date to give clothing, meals, liq- ulds, cigars or tobacco, with in the primary election or the day of the general election, and ex cept as above noted Hired workers at the polls are prohibited except as challengers ' and to watch the count, .

Thompson of Tualatin, Theo, Pointer, George Stitt and 600 other legal voters and resi dents of the portion of Washington county proposed to be annexed to Multnomah have, signed a remon strance and ask that the boundary lines be not changed. Less than 300 voters within the strip signed the pe tition and the remainder of the county Is practically a unit against It Let the majority rule. All county divis ions should be decided by the wishes of the people affected. By not voting at all you give half a vote for the measure.

H. Jones in Salem Statesman.) Reports from all over Oregon show that there is a shortage of teachers. Almost every county needs more teachers, and especially the eastern Oregon counties. Is It not probable that this scarcity of teachers is due to the fact that for years past Oregon has had no normal schools? Here tofore, from 100 to 250 new teachers were turned out eyery year, and the cutting oft of this supply doubtless ac counts, in a measure, for the short age. With this fact before the people, it seems to me we ought to vote to re- establish the three normal schools. The cost of maintaining these schools un der the proposed plan Is insignificant amounting- to about 12 cents for each $1000 of taxable property. The people of Salem and Marlon county should be especially Interested In re-establishing the school at Mon mouth. It seems to the writer that It is about time our beautiful city should lose the distinction of being the "Sa lem hog." With all of our state insti tutions bringing to Salem vast patron age from the outside, it would seem that the people of Salem and Marlon county ought not refuse to vote for the establishment of the proposed normal schools. We should show to the state at large that we can be lib. eral and that we do not want every. thing at Salem. We can do this by giv Ing an overwhelming majority for the Monmouth normal and the other schools. using Doan s Kidney Fills.

' NOVEMBER. Mr, Taft, who rules the nation. Offers this, his proclamation: Whereas, Providence continues Blessing us from day to day, And the boon of independence Has, we take it, come to stay; . And whereas. Indulgent Nature Lavishes upon us still Bounty in excess of what the Weather and the bugs can kill; And whereas, The old republic Couldn't be Improved upon, Notwithstanding everybody Gets to run it off and on; Therefore, I, as delegated Now and for a short time hence President, decree that turkey . Shall go up to 20 cents. That's about all there is to It. Once the country raised its own, and the White House proclamation was not greeted with a groan. Father simply grabbed the hatchet,. mother got the water hot, father read the proclama tion to the turkeys In the lot, all the young jnd female turkeys promptly fainted from the shock, and after due farewells the gobbler laid his head upon the block. No one telephoned the butcher, ask ing what a turkey cost. No one in his deep resentment wished the Pilgrims had been lost. No one, while the feast proceeded, knew the torment of the rack figuring upon his napkin what the day had set him back. Everybody was provided, as the founders pre-supposed. No one can be very thankful, If the truth should be disclosed, paying what we pay for tur key, and, for all of Heaven's gifts, feeling that the day was founded for the Armours and the Swifts. November gets its name from the Latin novem (nine), and was origi nally the ninth month of the year. This brought Thanksgiving around two months earlier than we have it now, and it became very unpopular. The Insurgents, who constituted a ma jority in the agricultural districts, were bitterly opposed to it. They made two contentions:' First, that young turkeys were not old enough to mar ket; second, that crops had not pro gressed to the point where it was pos sible to make out whether there was anything to be thankful for or not. In 713 B. C. the storm broke. The Insur gents carried Gaul, Britannia and 17 other doubtful states, and the Forum immediately assembled and made No vember the eleventh month of the year. ' At aify rate, the snow will fly, and the wild duck spin across the sky with both eyes focused on the ground, and his tall-piece going round and round. The eager hunter will deploy and supplement the live decoy, and the pneumocbecus, while he . toots, will perforate his rubber boots. A little shooting now and then is relished by a lot of men. They like tc gallivant about and let the farmers run them out. It does them good to feel, by Jlng, that Morgan don't own everything, and If he came In conae. quence, and also tried to climb the fence, together with his dog and gun he, too, would also get the run. v November will be unusual this year for the reason that there will be no full moon. This Is because there will be a total eclipse of the moon on the night of the 16th when it would other wise be full. This eclipse will be vis ible In the United States and In Wall street, and It will send bacon down a couple of points. The breath of Winter will distil up on the outer, wlndowsill, and the chill ing calf will hump his back and bur row deeper In the stack. The hired man, with wintry spurts, will put on both his undershirts, and the pluto crat who sells us coals will pry our bodies from our souls. Then let us all' embrace the chance and be as merry as we may, for whether we desist or dance, the fiddler Is for all to pay. The gentle autumn time will pass, the countryman will kill his hogs, the cotton-tall will weave the grass around the obfuscat ed dogs, the honking goose will ride the heights with that weird hollering of his, and the wolf will sit around o' nights and tell the moon how thin he Is. O woe Is us that could enjoy the au- tumntime for aye and aye. and what with growling soul employ Its witchery from day to day. The phosphorescence in the sky, the quail soft-piping on the hllL the blackbirds ever bobbing by, and the wind soft-sighing where It will. But happiness can never last Antony could apprehend, and holding Cleo to him fast destroyed himself before the end. The summer cometh after spring;, and winter, merciles withal, as truly must succeed the sweet and gentle blandishments of fall. SOME NEEDED REFC1IS BOWERMAN WOULD SAVE MONET TO TAXPAYERS OF OREGON. Nominee's Speeches Clearly Show At j titude on Important Issues Affect ing Voters of State, As indicated by his public addresses In his present campaign of the state, here are some of the important things that Jay Bowerman, the Republican direct primary nominee for governor advocates: Protection of the laws of the people. "If I am elected governor," says he, "I shall defend by exercise of the veto if necessary, any effort made by tha legislature to repeat any laws written upon the statute books by the people. This applies to the direct primary. Statement No. 1 and all the laws of the people. The people alone have the right to make changes. Their voice is final; their will supreme." . Economy in the operation of public institutions. The buying of supplies In bulk for the Institute Is at Salem would afford a saving to the taxpayers of $50,000 a year. Elimination of machine politics and defeat of the Bourne-Chamberlain combine, which Is seeking to gain im perial control of Oregon politics for selfish ends. . Putting state employees to work and compelling them to do a day's work Instead of putting in part of their time in political activity, aa under the present machine Bystem. Enactment of a law giving protec tion to employees of street car com panies, railroad companies and other corporations, which now discharge men Indiscriminately on complaints often made without foundation. "The accused men, should be brought face to face with the accuser and the charges should be proved," is the Bowerman rule. Enlargement of the scope of the State Railway Commission or estab lishment of a public service commiss ion to. adjust differences arising be tween the people and corporations dealing in such utilities as gas, elec- . trlclty, telephones and transportation. Removal, of state normal schools from the pale of political log rolling and legislative bartering and trading. "Let these schools be the best that money ca establish, but let them stand on their merits, supported by legitimate methods," is his idea. Protection of bank depositors by es tablishment of a rule Instructing bank examiners to reject as assets stocks and bonds having no fixed and profit able income. ' Promotion of good roads by em ployment where possible of convict labor so as to do away with the present-practice of manufacturing stoves at the state prison and selling: the product In direct competition with, free labor. Abolition of the old practice of ped dling out state appointments for po litical reasons and without regard to merit, "Merit must be the basis of all appointments," he declares. West Speaks In Dallas. Oswald-West, the Democratic nom inee for Governor of Oregon, spoke In Dallas, Saturday night, to an aud ience that filled every seat In the cir cuit room In the Courthouse. Promi nent Democrats from every precinct In the county were present Mr, West's talk did not differ materially from his speeches made elsewhere in this campaign. As an outline of these speeches have been printed In the dal ly newspapers of the state, Mr. West's claims for support are already famil iar to the Observer's readers. The candidate was given an enthusiastic reception by the members of his party in Polk County and his address was greatly enjoyed by all. On Two Vcarm Later. Dec 10. 10. Mrs. Pesrson, I I J 1 j I !
