HOW TO PREPARE.
From the tenor ot the speech made
In Grants Pass by Senator Albert B
Cummins, it is evident that republi
cans in eastern political centers are
convinced that the United States
must begin a campaign ot prepared
ness for the conditions that are to
follow the- closing vt the war in
Europe. The Immense prosperity that
has flooded the east, and that has
made mills and factories work over
time and caused a general increase
of labor's wage, is founded upon war
orders from Europe. When peace at
last comes these war orders will
cease and commerce and industry
must be readjusted upon the new
basis . Cancellation ot these orders
will prick the industrial. boom, and
through a readjustment of the tariff
the country must be protected from 1
the importation of cheap-made Euro-!
pean goods. The tariff policies of
Wilson and his party are supported
by bnt a very small minority of the
American people. Few more than a
fourth of the roters registered their
ballots In favor of Wilson, his elec
tion being made possible through
tlia milt fit t1i nnrwwIHnn The r-
ault next Norember would be the
name again unless the two branches
thn rennhHen nartv are bronzht
tdgether. as they can be through the
nomination of an acceptable candi
date. There Is little doubt about the
result of the Chicago convention, for
republicans hare been punished suffi
ciently by four yeans of democracy
for their fiasco of 1912. The time
to prepare for lndustrlsl prosperity
In America after the war is closed Is
now at hand. The way to prepare
Is to put a republican In the White
House next March.
THE VISIT OP THE GRANGERS.
Grants Pass will Wd the grangers
of Oregon a reluctant farewell upon
the closing of the 43rd annual con
vention of the state organization in
this city today. While the business
of the grange, and It is essentially
a business organisation, has not
allowed the members a great deal of
time for social communion with the
citizens of the community, their pre
sence has been an inspiration to our
people. The opportunities offered for
acquaintance have been Improved,
and friendships have been bullded
that will have beneficial influences
In years to come. Such entertain
ment as the city and the citizens of
Grants Pass have been privileged and
permitted to offer has come from the
hearts of the people. The business
men have expressed 'the spirit of
good will and of co-operation by lib
eral contribution to the entertain
ment fund, and many homes have
' been opened to the visitors Of the
week. It Is hoped and believed that
" this spirit which is manifest in the
city upon the -Rogue has been truly
reflected to the visitors, and that
when they depart It will be with only
good will and best wishes for the
community that was proud to offer
them Its hospitality.
The citizens have not done all the
things they had hoped to do. Op
portunity was given for the visitors
to see something of the Rogue val
ley, though to see it adequately
would have taken more time than
the grangers were able to give. At
the .banquet there was opportunity
for social commingling, but this

would have been even more enjoy
able could the original plan of meet
ing upon the banks ot the Rogue in
Riverside park have been carried out.
Inclement weather stood in the way
of this. The adverse disposition ot
the royal chlnook salmon, which It
was tentatively planned to have as
the piece de resistance at the ban
quet, prevented the consummation
of this plan. The fish absolutely rej
fused to leave bis ocean retreat at
this time, or the nets were too thick
for him at the river's mouth.
But, taken in all. the meeting of
the state grange has been a great
success from the city's point of view,
and Grants Pass bids the organiza
tion godspeed In the wonderful work
It is doing tor its membership.
The stock argument of democracy
In the present campaign is that ex
pression of the revered Lincoln, "It
is not best to swap horses while
crossing a stream." But might not
Uncle Sam keep his feet dry longer
if be could, perchance, swap bis
mount upon a jackass for one upon
an elephant?

CARRANRA TROOPS
(Continued from page 1.)
enre at El Paso would obviate the
necessity ot pressing It.
General Obregon admitted that he
erred In accepting the tentative
agreement and stood pat on Car
ransa's demands at the finai confer
ence. "Carransa saved me from myself."
Obregon told a friend. "He knows
I'm a fool. Had he accepted the
American agreement. I would have
been a dead cock in the pit."
Reviewing the developments dur
ing the two weeks of conference,
officials found that both the United
States and Mexican armies had been
greatly strengthened. More than
12,000 Americans were added to the
forces of this nation, and the line of
the expedition was contracted.
Scott expects to remain In El Paso
for several days. General Funaton
hopes to be able to go to San An
tonio at once. Militia mobilisation
there requires his attention. Both
conferees insisted that there is still
a prospect of an amicable settlement.
They announced the failure to agree
on little slips of paper, saying that
negotiations had been referred to
Washington.
BOOZE SHIPMENTS
ARE INCREASING
Portland, May 12. Importation of
liquor into dry Portland for the
month of April shows an increase of
2,000 shipments over March, accord
ing to figures announred by. the
county clerk today. March showed
an Increase of 3,000 shipments over
February and February shipments
were 2,500 greater than January.
In April, 8,683 Portlanders sent
out of the state for liquor. Nearly
all of It was shipped from Califor
nia. ExhaiiHtion of old liquor supplies
and growing familiarity with the
methods of getting booze under the
prohibition law are reasons assigned
for the steady increase.

Serves them right
There are a good many women
who have found that high priced cof
fee can also be economical.
They have divided the cost of a
pound by the number of cups it will
makethis has proved its economy.
Such coffee as Schilling's Rest not
only tastes better, but goes further.
The price is not low, but a pound
flavors more cups.
Part of the quality-economy
of Schilling's Best is
due to the vacuum -scaled
tins in which you buy it.
These tins permit us to
