THE DOG POISONER.
There are many ways of killing a
dog, but the sneakiest, meanest, most
low-down method of them all is that
one whereby the killer puts out pois
on in meats to catch the unsuspect
ing canine. There are many kinds of
dogs. Some of them are good, some
of them are bad and a great major
ity of them are indifferent. But of
ten enough, when the pernicious
poisoner gets busy, it is the good
dog which falls a victim to the mal
practice. In our opinion, the indi
vidual who would put out poison
would commit almost any contempti
ble crime, for in dropping pieces of
death-dealing meat and other poison
ed food about town, there is no tell
ing where the damage will end, or
how many line blooded chickens or
fine stock may be the victims. The
poisoner got our dog, a worthless pup
no doubt, but when he got the other
fellow's dog a valuable animal was
killed. Dog poisoning is a low prac
tice which ranks with all the other
vile crimes of society.

timore platform, adopted in
declared to be "a serious problem
I in every American home" is as ser-1
'ious now as then. The platform on
which Mr. Wilson stood and was
' elected, insisted that the Republican
party w as "attempting io escape imiu
its responsibility for high prices by
denving that they are due to a pro
tective tariff. We take issue with
them on this subject," it continued.
and charge that the excessive prices
result in a large measure from the
high tariff laws enacted and main
tained by the Republican party.
While a great majority or tne vo
ters did not think so, and voted
against Mr. Wilson and the theory
of his platform, their vote was so di-
ided that he and a Democratic ma
jority in both houses of Congress
were put in office. They immediately
Droceeded to make as sweeping re
ductions in tariff duties as if the
country had given them a direct man
date. While this work was in pro
gress, people were being assured that
the bottoms would drop out when the
new tariff law became effective. The
bottoms of many things did in fact
drop out, as was clearly and quickly
shown in the heavy declines In rail
way freight tonnage. But that the
bottom has not dropped out of the
prices of things which enter into the
cost of living, this official bulletin
clearly proves.
Takinsr 100 as the average oi
price in seventeen commodities and
forty-five cities during 1914, com
parison is made with the average of
prices in the same commodities and
cities between January and Septem
ber, 1915. The most damaging ad
mission is found in the statement,
that "In September, 1915, prices
showed a decline from September,
1914. of 5 per cent, and were the
same as for September, 1913." In
September, 1913, the country was
still under the protective tariff law,
and still, according to the Baltimore
nlatform. groaning under the nign
cost of living entailed by "the high
tariff laws enacted and maintained
by the Republican party." St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The serious prevalence of rabies in
the Pacific northwest last year has
drawn the attention of the national
department of agrl.-ulture. Secretary
Houston stat' ihe dreadful dis
ease exists unions the predatory and
the domestic animals of four north
western states and spreads rapidly.
He therefore urges congress to ap
propriate $75,000 for the destruction
nf covotes and wolves and the result
ant preservation of farm cattle, the
loss of which has been heavy.
The secretary makes a good case
for such spending of the nation's
money. The situation was not ser
ious last autumn while his depart
ment was preparing its annual est!
mates. It therefore thought that the
funds already available would enable
it to handle the pestilence in connec
tion with its regular work. Since
then, however, the conditions have
become acutely dangerous. The dis
ease has spread over so broad a dis
trict that the states affected can not
deal with the trouble. The funds of
the department do not suffice for ef
fective cooperation with those states.
It appears inevitable that the sum re
quested from congress ought immed
iately to be added to the resources of
the department.
California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon
( where the wild animals' rabies ap
nears to have originated about 1910)
and Washington are affected, while
Utah also is threatened. The known
affected area extends 400 miles north
and south and 250 miles east and
west. The peril to the stock breeding
interests is enormous and the menace
to human beings is far from slight
If the serious situation Is to be nan
died properly appropriation as an
emergency measure must be made
immediately. Secretary Houston be
lieves it practicable for his depart
ment, provided the state a nd the lo
cal authorities continue to exercise
drastic control over dogs and other
household animals, to remove the
danger and to stop the spread of the
disease. Spokesman-Review.
THE AXOXYMOl'8 LETTER
AVIUTER.
Sheriff George McPuffee has re
ceived within the past few days, three
anonymous letters, each one appar
ently written by a different person
In these unsigned letters, hints at
certain violators of the prohibition
law are made. Under the circum
stances the guardians of the law can
do nothing. If people are so sure
that the dry law is being violated, let
them come forth with sufficient evi
dence that will warrant a prosecu
tion. The anonymous letter writer
never accomplished any good in this
world and has of times defeated the
purpose of the law.
That law violators in Condon and
Gilliam county stand little chance of
operating over that way Is evidenced
by the recent conviction of one man
and two women on a bootlegging
charge. In addition the women were
found guilty of conducting a house
of ill fame. All three have gone to
jail in preference to paying their
fines. In his prosecutions, county at
torney Weinke bad the strong moral
support of the people of Condon
Georgia Fisher, one of the convicted
women, formerly conducted a clean
ing and pressing establishment in
this city.

The high price which grain bags
will command from the farmers- this
vear will have as a running mate,
binder twine. Twine is manufactur
ed in this country, but strange
enough, war has had its effect. Not
the European war, but that little row
down in old Mexico, where Carranza
hold's the whip hand at the present
time. Twine is manufactured from
sisal fibre and the sisal fibre comes
from Mexico. The output of sisal on
the market is controlled by a trust
which has bv manipulation stored
large quantities of the fibre up in
their warehouses, and the trust is the
only source through which sisal can
he mtrchased. The trust, the com
mission Reguladora, is composed of
snnnorters of the Carranza govern
ment, according to the Farm Imple
ment News, and is financed by Amer
ican canital. As the situation is now,
the trust can demand any price it
wishes from the farmer, who is
forced to pay tribute to a monopoly
flnn.nrp.il bv American capital. In
conclusion the News says, "Is this
monopoly amenable to the anti-trust
laws of the United States? If it
were purely a Mexican affair, or if
the financial backing were obtained
from other countries, the United
States would be powerless to inter
fere. But since the capital Is con
tributed by American banks from de
posits of American depositors, me
combination should be amenable to
American law. Justice to the farm
er requires that the government take
such steps as may be taken lawfully
to prevent the financing of the mon
opoly with American money."
