Editor Democrat: iThe "war hoss" republicans surely nave gotten the old lime political re ligion; they have revived again the political, religion of the good old days when tne caii'lidatc s litness tor til legislature was reckoned as nierclian dicc value on bargain davs. The cry of these assembly repul: beans is the good of the partv. th cry of a man is the good of the state From your uncle's point of view there is just one thing tor a republican with blood in his veins and gray matter under his hat to do at the pnmaric that is to vote against each an every one of the "assembly candi dates.' If the trade and traffic branch of the republican party should win out at the primaries and nominate the "assembly candidates," the republic.! who stands for the primary law, for statement No. 1, and who recognizes the state as being greater than hi: parly, can vote for men of other par tics. Oswald West's announcement that he will stand for the nomination of governor on the democratic ticket i a clean cut declaration of office fo service, emphasized by his record when clerk of the state land board and now as railroad commissioner. He is a man who lias filled the bill. He will till the bill as governor. These "assembly republicans" seem to draw tneir inspirational breath Irom the same source as those patriotsf?) who would plunder the public domain in the name of developing the resources of the country. I wonder if those who arc advertising the developing of the resources of the country would "de velop them in such a way that they could carry the "resources" in their vest pocket, arc not one and the same outfit who are crying so loudly in favor of the assembly and against statement No. 1. We have seen what some of those fellows look like when they have been turned wrong side out. They look as their record smells bad. QUOITS. WALL STREET AND ATJTOMO , BILES. ' The Democrat has received from New York a statement that Wall street estimates that approximately $500,000,000 will be spent this year by Americans for the purchase of auto mobiles, 85 per cent going for ma chines of domestic make, -about $75, (100,000 going out of the. United Slates for rubber f r the tires. Wall street lias made' the discovery ,,Jhat but for this half the amount wtruld be used in Wall street speculation, the auto mobile tal:ir. ii r.vt i.i Wall street. This alarms the-money center of the world, and : ..iipaign is in progress to disjottr.'! . ,:io indiscriminate pur chase oi automobiles. One statement is that many homes are mortgaged to secure the auto. On the other hand the automobile manufacturers have combined and declare that it is a good thing for the country if the money is diverted from Wall street, a mere gambling concern anyway, that the mortgage records do not sus tain the contention made about mort gages. Wall street has been cursed by fictitious values and 'perhaps the automobile will have the effect to run some of them down. So far as the people arc concerned it will not give them a sour stomach if Wall street stock gambling docs have a backset. Nevertheless people of moderate means will do well to not get excited and buy all the new makes of automobiles they sec, and they cer tainly arc foolish to put any mortgag es on their properly if they arc gel ting automobiles for pleasure. THE WORST OF ALL. The collector of customs of New York- found that neonlc who seek l.o evade the payment of dues the most strenuously arc men who have ,.nt, tl.nir fortunes off the hiorh tar iff, a sample of tlio inconsistence Dl the age. The families of sexeni BUI been caught trying to rob the gov ernment. Not content with being a partner in the robber tarilT, which gave them their fortune, they have without conscience sought to get val uable tilings past the collectors with out detection. These things are ex citing wide interest and calling at teution to conditions. The result is r crcat insurgent band protesting against extravagance ami a taritl that has taken the money from the pock its of the people to enrich the trusts. The game is up, the trick is seen through, and the voters of the coun try are going to speak through their ballot. At the Hoicls G. L. Fore, Montio-e. To o J. 11. H mien, I'ortl .1. M.

ALBANY MAN'S ; HEAVY LOSS "y the Southern Oregon Timber Fire. Superintendent Briggs. of the Albany schools, left this noon for Medford. ca.l.l.ed fH letter from his brother. felting of the burning of their timber ( Iaim3 in the tires raging around Med ford, Ashland and Grants Pass. Each of them had a claim and owned another, eft by . their father, jointly. They cruised about 5,000,000 feet each, cov ered with sugar pine, and were worth approximately $10,000 a claim, indicat ing a losb to them of about $30,000, practically complete, as the brother wrote that the claims were destroyed by the conflagratin in the midstof the blaze, about 35 miles from Medford. The loss to Southern Oregon is great. Ashland itself yesterday afternoon was threatened, the stores closed and sev eral hundred men went out to fight the fire. Some fruit orchards as well as the limber further back had been ruined. Oakvillc.
