BEND'S PHtlll LIURARV. x It is hoped that Bend people will 4ake up with zeal the support o( a free public library and reading Tooia as uutlined in an article on the first oaKc of this iue. Under present contemplated plans the in stitution w ill be fitst and foremost a public institution and its benefits rwill be open to cvtrone. The present board has adopted this "plan for the reason that it was .thoncht best in fact the onl proper plan to throw it open to the, public, make it an institution of "Hvhlch the town can be proud, and it Is believed that there wilt then be -no difficulty in providing for its Support. Bend people are liberal tn , supporting any worthy puWic undertaking and there is no doubt .that they will sttppoit this when it plan and scope of work, is fully 11 n derstood ' A free library ami reading room is sotr found in all progressive and intelligent coMinuoitie. It is rec ognized as a part of the educational System of a town. and. indeed, it plays art important part in educa ional work.

To the person tvnote early education was neglected oa accocnt of poverty or other untoward circu instances, the public library is indeed a boon. There they can take up a course of SvJf-cducatioa aod by diligent and -vr,eit directed reading thev can txJMdcM their life and make of themselves bet'er, happier and more intelligent citizens- Aod the recre ation and enjoyment ose gets from a good book is, of course, open to ' Then there is the importance of ood literature in fcraing the char actor of onr boys and girls. It is dosbtful if auvthisg has more bear tog pa a child's character than the boofe he reads. He should there fore have none but the cleanest and best and .should early be trained in habits of choosing and desiring good literature. This can be easil) don when good books are aceessi ofe. A writer states this clearly in the following paragraph: v "Thc,be-ks that a boy reads for pleas 3 to ifotrorotlp determine Hi ideal ami jbape I kt cecAeter than the text-book e Mud in the schools.

It is planned so as to be a burden on-no man, and the run nine expenses will be small. If the people want a free public library and reading room conducted on business methods, they can have it. It's up to them. THE DEATH OP THE SALOON. A great temperance movement is spreading over the entire country It is prophesied bv conservative thinkers that the question of pro hibition will be a national issue in a few yean if, in the meantime, it has not been settled by the passage of state laws which prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor Especially iu the South is the tem perance movement noticeable. Many Southern states now have cither state prohibition or local option laws, with the sentiment to curtail the sale of the stuff spreading rap idly in other states. This move ment is one for which to be thank ful, and it is to be hoped that it will continue to spread until it con quers the entire nation. One of the chief reasons for the present strength of temperance sen timent is the belief that is becoming prevalent among business men that it is an unwiae business policy to teVter or allow to exist any institu tion that is so destructive of wealth as is the saloon. If the business men of the country can be made to see the wastefulness of the modern saloon both in wealth and man hood the saloon will soon be put out of business tor alt time. There can be no real and lastins prosper ity as tone as the saloon is allowed to flourish. It is the greatest de stroyer of wealth in the work! to day. It takes a man's wages and gives bfet in return a stuff that de stroys his manhood and damns his soul. With the nation crying for laborers to develop its resources, the saloon sends thousands of strong and able men to the grave every year; and it keeps the courts busy and the prisons filled in. the work of straightening out and penkhiug the crimes that it commits. Of all the wasteful institutions with which humanity lias been afflicted, the saloon stznds pre-eminently the leader. The records of two states de scribes concisely the work of the saloon and the beneficent effects of its suppression: KaatM ks twen prohiMtfen tincc iStio. Of the 105 eomttee in the Male, only ai hare any pauper; tc hate their MU aMolately empty; 37 Iwv mayor whbtn. the reform clement is backing,' was elected by the votes of the people the common people, j This result of a study of the elec tion returns causes no surprise. It is what always happens. When ever there is a fight for pure gov ernment and higher ideal, the forces of decency always find ar rayed against them the forces of plutocracy. And the fight itivar- iably discloses that the millionaires and their ilk have waxed fat and lined their pockets with profits se cured by bribing public officials to betray their trust, and by trafficking iu immorality and vice. Such is the work of plutocrats as a class. And thoe who take up the cudgels for better and purer government always receive their greatest support from the middle classes. What a rotten civtliratiou ours would be if it were not for the decency of the common people. QATHERUO FAR AND NEAR.

The people of San Francisco have again shown to the world that they are made of the right stuff. In lost week's election that municipality sustained the good government movement and gave large major ities to those candidates who stand for the suppression of ice and cor ruption. They thus sustain and commend the recent prosecution of the grafters and corruptionists in that city, so ably conducted by Keney and I.atigdon. They also, by their vote3, assure the continu ation othc work1 of purging out the vioe and rottenness in their city's government. How was this notable victory for morality made possible? The ejec tion returns showed that McCarthy, the corruptionists' candidate for mayor, polled his largest vole in the The directors of the Crook Coun ty Fair Association report that they have been abk to pay all bills and premiums this year with a comfortable little balance left over for next year's meet. Hon. Van B.

Thonsands of bushels of grain are bcinc hauled to the warehouse at Shaniko by farmers in the Madras country, but very little money is being paid for it at the present time. The financial panic has tied up money to such nil ex tent that there is no currency with which to make payments, and the best the farmer can do is to get a warehouse receipt for his grain;.
