There Are Issues The Democrat's Washington Corres pondence: The republicans are trying to make the voters believe that there id practi cally no issues in this campaign but issues are appeaaing rapidly and issues of such character are developing as will overwhelm them at the November polls. The tariff has loomed above the horizon in a very threatning manner to the republican interest. The republicans have been preaching the doctrino of protection for years and vears.antt the fallacy of that doctrine has been overwhelmingly established and in fact, the word protection means now nothing more than protection to the trusts. The protective tariff is not in the interest of the people but of these rapacious trusts that are gorging every cent possible out of Americans For instance the great steel truBt is selling Bteel rails in London for $22 per ton and are charging the Americans $28 per ton. If it were not for the tariff they would be compelled to Bell the steel rails to the Americans at the same rate that they sell them to the English but they having the benefit of the high tariff, can exclude the compe tition of 'the English manufacturers and thus pray on the Americans at their pleasure. The same is true of the wire nail truBt which is charging the farmers 50 per cent more for their wire, fenceB and nails than they do the foreigners. The same ib true of house hold articles; the sowing machine trust is selling machines in London and Paris for about $16 less than they are to the American consumer. The samfe is also true of the watch trust and numbers and numbers of articles can be men tioned along the same line. The Ameri can people have been tricked and de frauded on these lines long enough and Hie worm is going to turn and with it, they will turn the republican party out of power, for they have not only per mitted this tariff robbery to go on but they have done absolutely nothing effec tive in tho way of curbing theBe great trusts. In fact, they are as strong to day as they were when Roosevelt came into power. This is shown by the case with which they nullified the$29,000,000 fine against the Standard Oil Company in the Circuit Court of Appeals. The trusts absolutely own the republican party and tho judges which have been appointed by that par,ty. Wo cannot bring relief to the people until the re publicans are kicked out of power. Miller in Cliicugu. From a Dispatch: Milton A. Miller, democratic commit teeman for Oregon, is conferring with the national committee with reference to campaign plans in Oregon. Miller is a member of the subcommittee on speakers. He;; has been drafted into headquarters work by Chairman At wuod, to answer correspondence and give assistance with the details of that department of campaign work. Conferences are being held to decide whether to send speakers into Oregon. Mr. Miller has obtained information from officials here that is highly en couraging as to general campaign pros pects. Ho will moet National Chair man Mack when the latter returns from New York. Prcssuro has been brought to bear upon Mr. Miller to induce him to re main throughout the campaign to assist the management of the speakers' bureau. He refuses to remain and is expecting to return aa soon as next week's conferences end. All the Snnic as Oregon. Tho primaries are rcat affairs. Washington is in line. It has a strik ing case, tho downing of Senator Anko ny by Congressman Jones. Ankeny was supposed to have a cinch on the office, like Senator Fulton, but tho peo ple said otherwise. Jones was liked the better. Ho will be elected by the legislature, just the same as Governor Chamberlain, provided ho beats the democrat who is run in November. The man who has the most votes should uu ciiut.cu uy inu biuiu ieBiaitnui u mill will be. No legislature dares override ' inc win oi mo people. It is being demonstrated more more that the Willamette Valley and splendid peach country. This is true uowi ui quality nu quuiimy. wur peaches aro far ahead of those sent in here from California in flavor, nnd they are prolific in growth. The Democrat hopes to see active work on the electric street railway be gin as promised, and pushed to a com. plelion without any stumbling blocks. We need it, and wc need it bad. With pacers having a record of 2:03'4' at the state fair there ought to be some races that will satisfy the crowds. A good horse race on the square is a fine sight. Tho new Independence party will have some electors in the field in Ore gon, and they will undoubtedly receive a pretty good vote, that is a thousand or bo. Saturday Night Thoughts. Something in national politics this week has been a bout between Speaker Cannon and Mr. Bryan. Mr. Cannon is the despot who rules ovei the House, shutting people up and out according to his own taste regardless of rights, ex cept his own. He is an odd character in American history, a genius in his way, which is all Cannon and his friends, a man of narrow policies, who would be a Czar of Russia if he had the power. Most people can see through Cannon. ... This week a new recoid was made back east. It was in an airship flight, an arist keeping his machine up for 70 minutes, which is considered something marvelous. That is not long for a bal loon, but it is for a machine which de pends upon power. But some day it will not be long for an aeroplane. The genius of man can overcome anything, Perhaps this airship business will fall before his marvellous powers The flight of the American fleet is of particular interest to the people of this city, because it has reached a place of the same name over on the Australian coast. Wherever it goes it makes friends, not from fear, because there iB nothing to fear, but for friendship for a nation that represents something among the nations of the world, 4 . How easy it is to violate the small laws that are made to govern our ac tions. Most people do it. It is easy to see the motes in other peoples eyes Ah interesting thing is the number of city ordinances that are not observed as they should be, for instance, bicycle riding on prohibited streets and with-. nmg at luo clock, out lights, merchants occupying more .J&i? 51' sidewalk loom than allowed.boys out at J Lumber Co, Franklin I Griffith, Oregon night, chickens running at large, this- City, attornoy.

J F Malone to Nancy R WatkinB50 I bv 100 feet Sweet Home $ 5 It is always a good quality in a per son who makes a mistake when he ad mits it and shows an appreciation of the fact that he doesn's propose to do the same thing again. We all like that kind of a person. But there is a class who viciously continue in their mis deeds, making it the policy of their lives, and one meanness only begets another. We all err and always will. The difference in people is that some care and some do not. Look at the point, twist it around and see how many different shapes you can put it in. The Columbia (S. C.) State says: "Now again in 1008 Mr. Bryan is in the saddle. It is an unparalcled perform ance. Tho truth is that the man who can survive dofeat that would have ut terly obliterated another, is no ordi nary leader. Ho U a man of strength, extraordinary, phenomenal strength none but a fool can gainsay it. A man of less unusual powers would already have been -in his political grave not tho triumphant champion of a militant party." I i home after a valley trip. i R. E. Warner and Mr. Dave Sterling Henry Watterson in tho Louisville and family, of Brownsville, left for the Courier-Journal says: Hurrah for Bry- Alberta country, where the latter ex an and Kern; it is a etrong ticket. It , Pect to locate' and Perha)3 the former' is an honest, sourd and democratic dec laration of principles. The party will accept both the ticket and the platform with enthusiasm, and the voters will ratify them at the polls in November. Henceforward the word shall be "Fac tion to the rear, united we stand." "Is Albany a town or a disease?" was one of the clown's jokes at Eugene last Saturday. Leader.

The fleet is now at Albany. Albany against the world. Busses on the deoot run will have an old time appearance. Mr. Bryan has taken a few good shots at the Cannon himself. Judge Parker will not run for Govern or of New York. That is a good judg ment. Mr. Bourne is to be in Oregon. His dear constituency would like to see how h looks. u T Ihe man who says there is good everything doesn't know some people very well.

Bryan has been smashing Taft. and now it is said that Taft hammers Bry an. The fight is getting interesting. At Denver the returning athletic heroes were given a party at the Hotel Albany, entirely proper. The roads of Washington ought to be in good shape. Most of the mud was thrown in the recent campaign. Some one says Albany people talk a bout each other too much. Too much gossip and scandal mongering. Nelson whipped Gans in twenty-one rounds. Gans is now a back number. Did not take care of himself properly. If everybody was arrested who vio lates some law there would be some thing doing in the courts about twenty four hours a day. Linn and Lane are now on good terms. They have united and called it the Linn and Lane Timber Co. Wonder what Smith is at anyway. The U. S. now leads in ariation, Mr. Wright having kept his aeroplane in flicht over 62 minutes. Some day reg ular trips will be made from New York to San Franciso. Seventeen Albanies in the U. S., and Albany, Oregon is next to Albany, N. Y. in population. The others are all small affairs. This is the railroad cen ter though Albany, N. Y. does pretty well that way. Bill Main, a young man who tried to enter the University of California, but failed, is coming up to the University of Oregon, and being a crack foot ball player, it is thought will be able to enter. See the point. Binger Hermann once became fam ous by having his picture taken with that of the president. Now Dan Kelly and Forest Smithson are in the lime light, a good snapshot showing Kelly shaking the hand of President Roosevelt and Forest Smithson by his side. Coquiile Sentinel: A journalist is a man who talks about being on a news paper, but is not. A newspaper man is one who is on a paper and makes no fuss about it. A farmer is a man who works the soil, and an agriculturist is a man man who works the farmer, while a promoter is a man who works every body. Register: -A prominent citizen of East Eugene is in receipt of an anony mous postal card that is filled with fool ish threats and matters that do not con cern him at all. There is no more des picable individual than the one who re sorts to that sort of proceeding for any thing. A man should be manly at all times. SCIO'S FAIR. Decided Protest Against Change to Albany.
