Hon. William Galloway iu a
communication last week to the
Yamhill County Reporter sas,
"This County (Yamhill) has no
reason to complain, as its citixens

He further explains "there has
never been one cent of the Slate

Mr. Galloway makes a strong plea
in defence of the Btate fair man

article. "A reply that dosen't re-ply".

The San Francisco Examiner, in
an editorial on the Venezuelan af
fair, very sensibly remarks: "When
the time comes for Mr. Bayard to
ask a formal audience of Lord Salis
pury, and make to him a frank,
deliberate and categorical state
ment of the inflexible policy of the
United States with regard to the
American continents, we shall
hear no more of Mr. Chamberlain
and his Maxim guns."
The state bar association is de
serving the sympathy of every hon
est, conscientious man and woman
in Oregon in its effort to rid the
legal profession of its shysters and
Bneait-tniei attorneys. 1 he law is
a noble profession, the noblest of
all professions, except it be the
profession of medicine, and 'tis a
pity that so many bright
but unworthy men Hhould
prostitute their splendid talents in
the service of vice and employ
methods of practice that brings
disgrace upon themselves and re
proach upon the profession. V
sincerely trust the better element
of the profession will succeed in ex
punging the unworthy members
thereof, but they have set before
themselves a task more difficult
than that undertaken by the hero
of Hellas when he cleansed the
stables of Augeas.
The weather bureau at Wash
tigton makes the statement that
the "present drougth is one of the
severest, most prolonged and mot
generally known in the United
States since the bureau's organ
ization." The drought stricken
region includes the entire Atlantic
coast, excen tine certain localities
n South Carolina and Georgiit, and
extending west as far as the Kovky
mountains, with perhaps a few lo
cal exceptions to the prevailing dry
ness, where rain precipitation has
occurred during the past four
months. The Pacific coast, es
pecially Western Oregon, has for
tunately escaped the blighting
touch of this all pervading and un
precedented climatic innovation.
Indeed, the Willamette valley has
always been singularly free from
drougth or even any greatly ex
tended season of dry weather. At
nd'time, in the memory of the old-
eat inhabitants, have the crops of
this valley ever been shortened for
the want of rain. And it is also a
ra,re occurrence that the early fall
rains do any serious damage to the
crops.

Tr. k"lutlv treatment is a public
benefaction in the sense that every
other scientific treatment of disease
is a publio benefaction, and it has
done and is doing a great deal to
alleviate the curse of drunkenness.
Then are persons in every commu

been restored to moral health ami

remedial treatment of the so-called

Thk beautiful Indian summer,
which has held the larger part of
this month in its entrancing em
brace, is now practically at an end.
The heavy fogs of the last few days
are rapidly condensing into clouds
and a heavy precipitation of rain,
of course, will follow. When the
wet season fairly comes on there
will be now and then only a brief
intermission in the down pour of
the "gentle Webfoot niiMt."
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NOTKS,
The educational system of this
country is being continually put
upon a broader and more substan
tial basis. Improved methods are
being adopted and a general inter
est awakened in the interest of ed
ucation. The time has past when
trie uneducated man can compete
in business with the man who is
equipped with the learning and
discipline of the schools A The pub
lie generally recognizes this fact
and the poor man's boy sits elbow
to elbow with the rich man's son
in the same grade, studies the
same books and strives to attain
the same end. Indeed, the poor
boy, as a role, leads the boy who is
surrounded with plenty, ' for he
feels the disparity of their social
position and recognizes that ed
ucation and knowledge is the lever
that uplifts the race and makes the
poor student an intellectual king
among men. When we consider
the benefit that education is to the
individual and to society; contrast
the educated man with the un
educated and compare the con
dition of educated communities
The fact is becoming more and
more apparent that the farmers of
the Willamette valley will have to
turn their attention to diversified
farming. That is to say they can
not any longer depend upon wheat
and oats as the sole product of
their farms. The farmer must so
diversify his farming that he can
supply tbe market with almost
every product raised on the farm
viz; wheat, oats, barley, hay, pork
beef, eggs, fruit and vegetables. He
must have no idle land and no idle
hands about the farm. Every
acre or soil and every hour of day
light must be utilized in making
his avocation a success. This is
the penalty that the Oregon farmer
must pay for being in contact with
the markets of the world and in
touch with the onward marcb of
civilization. The merchant, the
skilled workman and the common
laborer pay tbe same penalty. It
is an inexorable economic law
which includes in its all pervading
gfasp every avocation of life. There
is no escaping it. The thoughtful
and the judicious will adjust them
selves to existing condition, but
tne heedless will go to the wall.
It is really discouraging as well
as disgusting to see so many of the
so-called "graduates of the Keeley
institute" again returning to tbe
wallow of their erstwhile intemper
ate babits. It is probable the pub
lic expects too much of tbe curative
remedies of this institution. The
province of medicine is simply to
cure disease, not to render tne
patient invulnerable to disease.
The Keeley treatment gives tone to
the nervous system, removes the
acquired appetite for stimulants,
but it does not and cannot do any
