REPUBLICAN PLATFORM SOUNDS RIGHT AND IS RIGHT A Rattling Good Set of Resolutions Adopted by the Republican state Central Committee. Issues of the coming campaign hive been outlined in a platform drawn up by a sub-committee ap pointed for that purpose by the Re publican State Central Committee at its session last week. The plat form is embodied in a set'of resolu tions which become the official party platform, as the committee was empowered to act in the matter without referring it back to the main committee. The sub committee which pre pared the platform is composed of W. W. Banks, W. V. Steiwer, W. J. Church, John Fox and VV. S. Duniway. The platform follows: Resolved, that the republicans in Oregon, proud of the party's achievements and confident of its continued usefullness in the future, renew their enthusiasm in the faith and pledge each other to work to gether in harmony and good fellow ship with the single purpose of se curing to the state and to the na tion the perpetuation of republican ism; and we congratulate our peo ple on the happy cessation of the factional differences that have mili tated against republican success in the past. Resolved, that we reaffirm the principles of the national republi can platform adopted at Chicago June 22, 1904, and congratulate the country upon the continuation of the era of prosperity that begun under the wise and beneficial ad ministration of public affairs by a republican congress. It is a source of gratification to our people that our great industrial growth and the unexampled development of the re sources of mine, farm and work shop since 1897, is due to the fact that the republican party, with its policy of protection and its stand for a safe and honest mometary system, has exercised the functions of government. With its bright re cord of achievement, the republican party expects a continuation of the confidence heretofore manifested in its policies and administrations. We therefore call upon the people of Oregon to give their support in the June election to the party of protection, progress and prosperity. COMMENDS THE PRESIDENT. Resolved, That President Roose- velt's administration of the affairs of the nation, at home and abroad, justifies the faith of the people in him as a wise and faithful execu tive. We especially commend the steps taken by him to promote in ternal peace and contentment in the Philippines aud to encourage the trade relations of our people with the Nations of the Orient. In his battle lor civic righteousness he is entitled to the co-operation of all good citizens. Resolved, That we heartily com mend the principle embodied in the initiative and referendum amend ment to the constitution. We urge the republicans of Oregon to care fully consider all measures proposed thereunder. This law, , approved by two successive republican legis latures and adopted by the electors of this strongly republican state, eliminates individual dictatorship and brings back to the people the control of their political affair. srrroRT direct primary. Resolved, That the first trial in Oregou of the direct primary law and of Statement No. 1 thereof proves it to have been the means of recording the people's will in the choice of candidates for public oflicc, and the republican paity claims the credit therefor. The nominees so chosen are men of integrity, cour age and ability who deserve and are entitled to receive the royal, cordial and enthusiastic support of every republican elector in the state. Resolved, That the republican party favors the investment of capi tal in improvements and enterprises in the State of Oregon with such regulation and control of corpora tions as will protect the rights and interests of the people. Resolved, That the republicans of Oregon favor just and equitable taxation of both tangible and in tangible property, and are unalter ably opposed to granting perpetual franchises. Resolved, That we favor legisla tion that will require private banks, trust companies and savings banks to make true and accurate semi annual reports of their financial condition similar to those required of national states to the end that the rights of the depositors and the people of the state with whom they do business shall be fully protected. LOAN OF IDLE FUNDS. Resolved, That we favor the loanin? of idle funds of the state on call, with ample securities, at high est rates of interest possible to ob tain consistent with absolute safety of the funds so loaned: the interest arising therefrom to be paid into the treasury 01 tne state. Resolved. That the interest 01 the oeonle of the State of Oregon demands government ownership of the locks at Oregon Lity. ! Resolved. That the eovernor of the state should be invested with the Dower to veto individual items in appropriation bills. Resolved. That we commend the efforts of our representatives in con gress in securing appropriations ior the rivers and harbors of our state, and we call attention to the necessi ty of securing congressional aid for the removal of all barriers to the exchange of commercial products with the markets of the world. Resolved. That we pledee the nominees of the state republican ticket to prudent, efficient and economical administration of the state and the enforcement of all laws upon the statute books. Resolved, that we extend our sincere sympathy to the stricken people of our sister State of Califor nia and commend the oromot relief tendered them in their recent hour of calamity. It It Would Only Last. Recently a church congregation in a little Kansas town built a new church. To pay for it they were obliged to call on the merchants of the community for donations. The merchants responded liberally and $300 was raised from this source. The last man asked to subscribe was John Smith, jeweler. "I will give you $5 if you let me add something to the subscription list," he said. The permission was accorded him and he wrote at the foot of the list: John Smith, jeweler, $$ Sears, Roebuck & Co., o Montgomery, Ward & Co., $0 The church people saw the point when the minister read the list of donors to the building fund from the pulpit, and since the dedication of the church there have been no mail orders sent out from that Kan sas town. W. I. Tooce's Prediction. Concerning the political situa tion. Walter L. Tooze had the fol lowing to say when in Portland Tuesday: "I regard the republican state, congressional and county tickets re cently nominated as composed of a higher type of our citizenship than any ticket that has heretofore been offered to the republican voters of the state. I am certain that Jona than Bourne, Jr., the republican nominee for the United States sen ate, will be elected by an over whelming majority. Hon. James Withycombe will be elected as the next governor of Oregon by a ma jority of not less than 10,000. Everything indicates, in my judg ment, a great republican victory all along the Hue. I shall vigorously campaign throughout the state and advocate the support of the repub lican ticket from top to bottom. Republicans cannot afford in any manner whatever to encourage de mocratic candidates for office, eith er in the county, district or state. There is, in my judgment, no rea son why any candidate who has been defeated for office should in any way oppose the succf ssful nomi nee. In view of my 20 years of fidelity and loyalty to the principles of the republican party during all the campaigns in this state, it is scarcely necessary lor me to say that I shall loyally stand by the re publican ticket from top to bottom, and exhaust every effort in securing a sweeping republican victory throughout the state." Mr. Tooze will be one of the prin cipal speakers at a republican rally at Oregon City Thursday evening. GEO. MITCHELL SHOOTS TO KILL CREFFIELD SHOT DEAD. The Self-Styled "Joshua" Killed by Mitchell, Who Says Kreffield Had Ruined His Sisters. Seattle, Wash., May 7 Franz Edmund Creffield, self styled "Jos hua," leader of the Holy Rollers, was shot and instantly killed on First avenue near Cherry street at 7:10 o'clock this morning by George Mitchell of Portland. Creffield was the leader of the baud of Holy Rol lers that caused so much excite ment at Corvallis. Oregon, three years ago. Mitchell made no at tempt to escape after the shooting, but stood beside the body of his prostrate victim until Patrolman Lecount placed him under arrest. He told the police that he shot Creffield because he had ruined his two sisters, Mrs. Burgess Starr and Miss Ethel Mitchell. As soon as he reached the city jail Mitchell asked permission to send a telegram. Hi sent. the' fol lowing to O. V. Hurt at Corvallis, the father of Creffield' s wife. "I've got my man. I'm in jail here. GEORGE. The shooting of Creffield was wit nessed by his wife and a few other pedestrians. It took place outside the Quick drug store in the heart ot the retail district. " Mitchell had been in Seattle looking for Creffield. Mitchell was walking up First avenue when he saw Creffield com ing down First avenue with his wife 6u his arm. Mitchell stepped in close to the drug store and as Creffield and his wife went by he drew a 32 caliber revolver, sending a ball through the back of Creffield's head. The bullet came out above the right eye. Cref.ield fell to the sidewalk and was carried into the the drug store and Dr. Bories was summoned. Creffield's wife threw herself down by his side and wound her arms around his neck, kissing his lips and hysterically exclaiming at the same time: "He cannot die, he cannot die; he did no harm to George Mitchell." Dr. Bories lifted her to her feet say ing, "But he is dead, madam" The woman was taken to police headquarters with her husband's slayer aud held as a witness. The Creffield's have been here for a little over a month. They have been living in a little attic room at 1 1 16 Fifth avenue. The only fur niture in the room was two chairs, a cheap table and a sleeping cot. The only clothes the woman bad on was a tattered skirt and shirt waist. Her husband yesterday promised to buy her a new skirt, and they were on their way to the store to purchase it when he was shot. Mrs. Creffield says her husband did not see Mitchell. She caught sight of him just as he pulled the trigger. Mitchell is 23 years old and gave his occupation as a labor er. At police headquarters he said: "I killed him; I have been looking for Creffield, and I got him. I have no regrets, I am willing to take any punishment that is meted out to me without a whimper. I did not kill a man, I killed a brute. He ob tained a devilish influence over my two sisters and ruined them and I did only what any true brother would do." The police agree with Mitchell and gave him the best quarters in the jail making his imprisonment as comfortable as possible. It is developed that Creffield has been married here twice. Over two years ago Justice George married him. The marriage license and cer tificate shows a ceremony performed between "Franz E. Carefield and Miss Ida M. Hunt." The police believe that Creffield gave incorrect names to hide his identity His name is Creffield and not Carefield. His wife's name is Maude Hurt. They lived at Southeast Seattle lor a time with Frank Hurt, the woman's brother. Two years ago Creffield was con victed on a statutory charge. Mitchell says his sisters told him that Creffield, or "Apostle Joshua." as he liked to be called, was greater than Christ. Creffield served two years in the peuitentiary at Salem While in the penitentiary his wife obtained a divorce from him. He got out of the penitentiary in Feb ruary with good conduct allowance. He went to Waldport, Oregon, and gathered about him the faithful fol lowers who stuck by him. Threats of lynching drove him out of Oregon. I le came to Seattle, won his divorced wife back and on April 3, little over a month ago, married her for the second time. He went to Southeast Seattle and won her brother back. He sold his home and took the proceeds to Waldport to hold together his fol lowers. Creffield was going to leave lor Waldport in a few days. They Want Clear Brains. That there are coming harder lines for the man with the thirst is apparent in the attitude of many of the great cororations employing labor. The action of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway in offering to pay the amount of the license exacted for doing business outside of incorporated cities, if King county authorities would re fuse to grant a permit tor a saloon near Snoqualmie pass, is simply another indication that railroad officials, in common with others who require the services of many men, recognize the fact that com mon laborers as well as trusted employes are unfitted for perform ing the work for which they are paid when their wage is invested in liquor or debauchery. Temper ance in its practical business aspect is coming up for consideration with an ever increasing force, and the young man who aspires to any po sition of responsibility must face the fact that his personal habits are going to be more closely scrutinized in the future than has been the past. Avenues for advancement are gradually but surely closing to the man who drinks, whether he indulges in moderation or has reached a limit that entitles him to a recognized standing at the bar. West Coast Trade. Stay by the Ticket. ''The republican party has a mis sion. Its mission is to devise, sup port and enforce measures and legis' lation and schemes of administra tion designed to advance the wel fare of our whole citizenship, and it cannot do these these things by knocking out from whole structures the very cornerstone, of United States senators. The Oregonian nmwip Governor Chamberlain be cause he is a democrat and supports . .. , 1. Withycombe because ne is a repuu- lican. That is sufficient reason good reason. It thinks Mr. Withy will make a satisfactory exe cutive and it knows he will not, be cause he cannot, appoint democrats to vital political offices." -Oregon ian.

Corvallis, Or., May 8, Special to the Portland, Oregoniau. The re publican state campaign was opened here tonight in an enthusiastic meeting addressed by James Withy combe, candidate for governor; F. W. Mulkey, candidate tor the short term senatorship; Frank Benson, for secretary of state, and O. P. Hoff, labor commissioner. The meeting was one of the largest poli tical assemblages that has gathered in this town since the big demon strations of the 1896 presidential campaign. In spite of extra seat ing capacity provided, standing room was at a premium in the opera house. Besides the speeches, a letter from Jonathan Bourne, Jr., was read by Chairman Westgate, and a brief introductory address was made by the state chairman. The key note of all the speeches was that re publicans should support the ticket from top to bottom and be enthu siastic in cat ry ing Oregon by an , unprecedented majority, for the ef fect the result would have in the way of approval of President Roose velt's policies. All the speeches were punctuated with applause. Dr. Withycombe was welcomed by a standing audience, and . three cheers for the Gubernatorial candi date and the whole ticket. He spoke for forty minutes and was frequently and warmly applauded. His announcement that he felt that he owed his nomination to the in fluence exerted by the Oregon Ag ricultural College throughout .the state, which influence he had met everywhere was greeted with a hearty and enthusiastic demonstra tion. The opera house was beautifully decorated for the occasion, with flags and bunting draped aud fes tooned in every part of the building. The meeting was heralded by the firing of anvils and the music by the Cadet Regiment Band of the college. A male quartet, composed of Messrs. Johnson, Allen, Cathey and Fulton, gave numerous vocal selections. Field, Garden and Flower Seeds for sale at It. II. Greer's. All kinds and a full stock.

The old Reliable Corner Grocery and Shoe Store A KANSAS CITY PRODUCT. The Central Publishing; Company Issues a Book of Special Interest to Farmers. The Central Publishing Com pany, in the Manufacturers' Ex change Building, this city, has in press the most unique aud useful book for farmers and others ever published in this country. It presents in plain, forcible lan guage the most improved methods of breeding and raising horses, cat tle hogs, sheep and all kinds of poultry; of cutting and preserving the different kinds of meat; of mak ing butter and providing other household necessities aud luxuries. It also contains well-constructed interest and other useful tables; ap proved forms in blank and detach able leases, bills of sale, wills, mort gages, deeds, etc. The most attractive features of the work is its well-arranged, ex ceedingly practical system of keep ing before the interested eyes of the party using it every item of any importance in his business, so that at any time through a period of twenty years he may see clearly his financial condition, knowing all his sources of revenue, the itema from which he can reasonably ex pect ready sales with profits, and . those of uncertain cash values, which will, it disposed of, bring him losses. So informed, such a farmer would certainly re prepared to ward off financial blows that would drive to insolvency his equally in dustrious neighbor who possessed no such information. All forms iu the book to be filled are so plain; all entries to be made, as they oc cur, are so thoroughly and often explained, that any child of ordi nary intelligence, capable of reading or writing well and of applying the primary principles of arithmetic, will have no difficulty in perform ing such duties. The mechanical excellency of the wotk, Independent of its merits in other respects, is astonishing, con sidering the small price asked for it. We cheerfully command this Kansas City production, especially to all tillers of the soil, believing that its general adoption by them would mark a new era of greater financial success in all their indus trial undertakings.
