Democratic States ITurt Don Little to 2-fake Labor Conditions Better ' Within Their Bounds. The numerous Hearst publica tions have been personallyrcpie ser.ted throughout Oregon and Washington recently by Ray Washington Taylor, who is writ ing a series of articles showing agricultural and hortciulurrU ac tualities In this portion of th United States. Mr.Taylor is on the stalT of 'The San Frar.cisco "Examiner," but his storic will be printed in all of the Ileaifct papers. Portland has inaugurated a re form movement and the edict that all fallen women must move out has gone" forth. Just what Ihe result of this order will be re mains to be seen. Nothing is aid of the men who are co part ners with the 'women in their Scarlet career. Why the women fehould be driven out while the men remain unmolested is not quite clear to the average Mind. If the women must go, kick the men out also. , It is rumored that the fruit brokers of New York City got, to gether recently, had a midnight meeting down in tho sub-way, and decided that they were not going to pay fancy prices for Ore gon and Washington apples. jThcre was at least one commission pan who did not attend this meeting, however, and he sneak ed oil to Hood lliver and bought '80,000 boxes. A grapevine tele gram says that 150,000 more have been sold and eastern com mission men have been plentiful n tho Yakima,. lloguo River, prand Ronde, VVenatchec, and other fruit producing sections. . If the political campaign is as devoid of interest in all parts of tho country as it is in Oregon it kwill bo a tos3 as to who tho win- per will be. In view of the fact, however, that we have enjoyed pnprccented prosperity under re publican rule for the past 8 years, ,wo see no good reason why we should clamor for a change. The repeal of the protective tariff would result In industrial disor ganization and confusion. Fac iories Would .suspend operations temporarily, ct least, tho gener cl prosperity of tho country wnuul be crippled. lnis is on the assumption, of course, that both houses of congress aro to change their political complexion 3 tho chief executive can only recommend legislation, and veto that which does not meet with hii approval. V Tho County Fair which cIC' ed last Saturday, was a success Tho attendance was good, and the Interest manifested by all parts of the county was gratify ing. Oregon City came out in most commendable manner. The attendance and inthusiam ex cccdcd all expectation, under the circumstances. The grounds were in crude condition and faci htics for handling the crowd an exhibits, especially tho livestock will be much better another year, The different communities wi realize more tho importance cf ood county fair and future ex hibl.i wiil be better from year to year. The fair of last week may be regarded as only an index to future efforts. It M n fuct that every important stop for tbo tMii-flt of American labor has U't'U taken either by a Republican C'oiijrrt'Ki aud admlnUtritl a, or by the legislature of a R'pubU-un Ut of cours with the consent, and sonwt lines by the sdvln, of the State executive. Democratic .C'ong-resws hare beeu no tably negligent In this refqwt, and democratic (States hsre either done nothing to make labor conditions bet ter within thtlr bounds, or have slowly and reluctantly followed at a distance iu the trull of Republican reforms. SUt LalUOa. The States have control Of labor leg islation within their respective bounds, fctb ral authority being confined, so far as lubor Is concerned, to the IUtrlct of Columbia and the territories, federal rexervatlons and federal public works. The story of labor legislation shows that nearly all labor reforms originated In Republican States, and at the pre, tut day the Republicans are' far ahead of the Democrats In the enactmeut and enforcement of laws for the welfare of men and women and children who work for a living. Twenty-six out of thirty Republican States bare labor bureaus, and only seven out of sixteen Democratic States have similar bu reaus, without which labor laws are often dead letters. Twenty-three Re publican States have factory Inspectors to see to tho enforcement of the factory laws. Only six Democratic States have factory Inspection services. Fifteen Ultra thirteen Republican and two Democratic have free employment guides. Klghteeu States have laws on their statute books prohibiting labor on government works or public con tracts for more thau eight hours a day. Of theKo States sixteen are Republican and two Democratic, Four Republican States and one Democratic State have laws declaring eight hours to be a legal working day In the absence of a con tract. Twenty-seven States prohibit the cuiplojiueut of children under four teen years of ttge in factories. Of these twenty-three aro Republican and four are Democratic States. Laws limiting tho hours of the employment of chil dren Iu factories or stores have been en acted In twenty-four Republican and thirteen Democratic States. Eighteen Republican and ten Democratic States prohibit night work by children. Twelve Republican and. three Democratic States prohibit the employment of chil dren In operating dangerous machinery or cleaning machinery In motion. Fif teen Itctiubllcan and six Democratic States limit the hours of labor of worn en. It should be noted that twelve of the Republican States which limit women's hours of labor have factory liiHitectors to sco that the law Is obeyed, while only three of the Democratic Stales make such provision. In twenty three Republican and ten Democratic States employers are required by law to provide seats for female workers Twelve States have enacted lcgisla tlon Intended to effect the extinction of the sweatshop system, with Its degrad tug and revolting accessories. Of these twelve States ten are Republican and two Democratic. Seventeen Republican aud five Democratic States have laws requiring the payment of warts weekly or fortulgbtly, or, In some luMances, Kohlbltlng a longer period than one otth between pay days. Trad I'Mlo Label. Fourteen Republican States and only one Democratic State Nevada have laws lu force -prnhlhlUng employers front dtftrnnrglng persons on account of membership In labor organisations, or from compelling persons to agrcrf not to become members of labor organlza ttons si a condition of sec jrlng employ thent or Continuing In their employ Forty States have passed laws allowing hade unions t adopt labels or trdi- marks to be uM to designate product of tbe labor of their members, aud pro hibiting the counterfeiting cf the uie of such labels or trademarks by un anthorltrd prions. Of those States t scly -eight are Republican and twelve are Democratic. Tl e foregoing presents for considers ttou by Intelligent, patriotic labor sub stantial facts and figures taken from tie statute books of the several States. No platitude ciu upset them. They prov thit records of the Republics party and of the Democracy on the la bor Issue, and they must conrlooe or cry rcnof.ble reader that the Republ can party has not only trougbt Aroerl can itibor ut to us present mnorabi standard, but that labor cau look only to tho Republican party for assurance of protection and prosperity In the future.

I feel that the country Is indeed to be congratulated upon the tiomlnatlon of Sir. Taft. .t hare known him intimately for many years jmd X hart i peculiar feeling tor him, because throughout that time he worked tor the same object, with he same purposes and ideals. X do not believe there eould be found in all the country a man so well flitted to be President v He Is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely dislnyrested and up right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, with out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens. He would be as emphatically a President of the plain, people as Lincoln,, yet not Lincoln himself, would be freer from the least taint of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of Vny kind. , , , , ' lie has a peculiar and Intimate knowledge of and sympathy with the needs ol all our people-cf the. fsimer, cf the wage earner, cf the business man; of the property owner. s No matter what -a -man's occupation or social position, uo matter wht ht creed, hle. eoler, or the section of the country from whlcli he comes, If ha tr'c.n' fee nest, hard working man who trls to do his duty toward his neighbor aad toward the eountry, he can rest assured that he will hate in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the luott tearless cf champions. LIr. Taft standi against privileges and he stands pre-eminently for the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda tion of our national well being. , Real Estate A. F.
