from Paris, afire with sympathy for the French and tag ;r
jfxr tiie United States to plunge into the pit of Mood.
"The nation divided even as today. There was a Brit
ii'sh party and a French party; the rising flood of hate tov:
at. the frail foundations of the new government, and then,
in the day ot extreme tension, President Washington is
sued a proclamation of neutrality. How they attacked him
for it ! Political leaders led mobs against the white 1iol:sj
arid talked of pulling Washington from the presideiit'al
chair."
Put Washington kept cool and sane and settled all the
differences with the warring powers hy negotiation and
t i-eaty.
J ii less than four vears. as the result of French insults.
j depredations and oppression,
President Adams declare war against J- ranee.
Put Adams had reliance in "note writing," and, in 1800.
after two years of trying negotiation, a settlement was
reached which guaranteed every right for which the United
States had been contending.
In 1H07, during Jefferson's administration, England
and France were in a death grapple. American commerce
was swept from the scass, with great loss and unbearable
humiliation, finally, as a
Leopard raked tin; American ship ( hesapcake with solid
shot, killing three and wounding eighteen and forcing the
Chesapeake 1o haul down her flag.
Jefferson, who as a citizen had denounced Washington
fur not going to war on the side of France, was somewhat
calmer as the responsible head of the nation upon whose
decision rested war or peace.
Appreciating the "maniac state of Furope," he "wrote
notes" and settled the whole matter by diplomacy.
President Pierce was urged to go to war with .Spain
when the Spanish authorities in Cuba seized the American
steamer Pluck Warrior and confiscated her cargo. Put
instead he "wrote notes."
Fverv schoolboy knows how Lincoln was harassed by
both (ireat Pritain and France. French and English raid
ers destroyed 1!)!' American ships.
"The 'Trent affair,' bv reason of its wide illustrative
sweep, may be recalled with
ot today,' says reel. ".Mason and Shdell, confederate
commissioners to France, passengers on the .British mail
steamer Trent, were forcibly seized by Captain Wilkes of
the American warship San Jacinto, conveyed to Boston
and lodged in Fort Warren as prisoners, ft was a flagrant
violation of her neutral rights, and a great body of English
clamored for war. Instead of that, (ireat Pritain took up
the matter through diplomatic channels, President Lincoln
disavowed the act of Captain Wilkes, Mason and Slidell
were released and the rights of neutrality were once more
defined and declared."
When (irant was president in the Virginius, fly
ing the Stars and Stripes, was captured off Jamaica by the
Spanish warship Tornado. Four of the passengers were
hanged as pirates and -Captain Fry and thirty-six other
Americans were shot to death against a wall.
So great was the popular demand for war that Grant's
name was hissed at public meetings.
Put (irant knew what war meant. As leader of the
I'liion armies he had experienced its horrors, and he re
fused to go to war with Spain, great as was the provoca
tion. Instead, he "wrote notes" and settled with Spain by
diplomacy.
Creel concludes the chapter on "National Honor" with
this trenchant paragraph:
"It is not alone the peace and honor of the fnited States that lie
Miikcd on I lie cominK election, but the peace and honor of the nation
diirlne all the years that are to come. A repudiation of Woodrow Wil-
son Involves Ih

peach orchard In Jackson county. This
fungbs causes great loss to the fruit
ing surface of the peach trees. A
large percentage of the fruitb ads are
killed by this fungus. The condition
thi.t is brough about by this fungus is
many times termed "winter killing"
by the growers. This, however. Is er
roneous and most of our so called
winter killing Is traced direct to this
fungus. This damage or Injury may
he effectively controlled or prevented
by tno use of Bordeoux mixture if
ppplicat'on Is made at this time. It
is best to make this application be
fore the leaves are al off the trees,
and the spraying should be dooe be
fore we have very much rain. The

Dour Sir:
itcicnTii'r to your puijiisiieci lettci- in tlic ncwspnpci'.s
of Jackson County, directed
ests of fairness and frankness, and to corrert certain
minora that are abroad in this county to the effect that you
are using your office to further vour private interests, will
you answer the following questions:
l. Do you consider the
the County Clerk by law a sufficient remuneration for your
services?
2. If you answer the first question in the affirmative,
why have vou taken, and whv are vmi taking the fees
charged for transcripts of the
3. What sum have you
appropriated to vour own use
4. Is it not a fact that
to have been prepared and made bv the deputy clerks ein
ployed by the county, and upon the time of the county, and
that you have appropriated the fees earned by them to
your own use and benefit
5. Is it not also a fact that the County Recorder's of
fice has collected fees under the same statute which you
interpret as allowing you to appropriate the same to your
own use and has kept a record of all such fees and turned
the same over to the County Treasurer ?
6. Have you not also used your time and office in tak
ing proofs in homestead entries and government land of
fice contests and appropriated tile money to vour own use?
7. Why is it that your
Kepublic.an papers around the county are not marked
"paid advertisements," whereas the advertisements of all
other candidates are? Are you trading the patronage of
your office for free advertising, and is this a part of the
"efficiencv" that vou advertise?
8. Did you not promise
would not be a candidate tor a -third term?
In the interests of efficiency in office, fairness and
candor, you ought to answer these questions without
equivocation or evasion. The taxpaveis are entitled to
kiuiw something more of your stewardship than your pub
lic statement conveys.
Asa candidate for the office, I pledge nivself to account
for and turn over to the County Treasurer everv dollar of
the fees and earnings of the office.
Very truly,

'Equal Eights to Home Industry" Committee Presents
Facts.
NO SALOONS OR
The committee advocating
moniy known as the lieer Amendment, o. ..14 on ihe bal
lot, have pledged themselves as determined to have the
law, if passed, endorsed according to its true intent and
purpose, namely, as merely putting the Oregon hop grow
ers and brewers on an equal footing with outsiders.
The Committee feels the public will believe such emin
ent lawyei-s as Messrs. Montague, fiearin. Pipes, Carey,
Fulton. Simon, Dcrnstcin. Cohen and others, who have
given their carefully considered opinion that no attempt to
establish saloons, bottle houses or other unregulated sales
of beer would be successful. It would he turning the l.uv
away from its plain intent, and therefore impossible. ;
the enthusiasm of the Prohibitionists continue to misrep
resent the purpose of this law and the good fahh of this
Committee, and having abandoned the idea of the general
saloon, the Prohibitionists now insist that it is the "bottle
house" which is to be feared. They say that the Commit
tee can only speak for itself and not for'ihe brewers. Wish
ing to meet all objections, however fanciful, the Commit
tee finally thought it best to lay the matter before the
brewers, and in response to our request we have received
the following statement:
"To C. K. S": Wood and C. T. Haas, Chairman and Secre
tary of the 'ivpial Rights for Home Industry' Commit
tee, and to the several members of said Committee:
"We, the undersigned, formerly in the brewing busi- 1
ness in the State of Oregon, in answer to your request, beg
to say, for record and publication, that in case the consti
tutional amendment No. 314, providing for the manufac
ture of a light beer, not exceeding four per cent alcoholic
strength, is passed, we will not attempt to open saloons or
bottle houses, or in any way directly or indirectly to vio
late the plain terms of the law, which we understand is in
tended to give us only the rights enjoyed in Oregon by
brewers outside the State, and we will join in enforcing the
law according to its spirit. For our own protection and in
the interest of the proposed amendment, we respectfully
request your Committee to prepare a plan by which the safe
of state-brewed beer, if nevniirtorl mm- lm'fi.liw ,..,;
iactorily regulated, .nnd we suggest that a registration book
oi muse eiiuuea to receive neer no opened, and the taking

and until some other plan, is adopted by cities and coun
ties, we will be compelled to follow the'procedure now in
force at the express offices for the importation of liquors,
namely, we will not sell or deliver to anv person who is ?
minor, a habitual drunkard, or who is not properly entitled
to receive his quota of beer under the existing law, and wc
will exact an affidavit showing all these facts, and also
t.it:i.g I-::'. ..ie v.. f.;u:t ..as not wuhiu ihe said period im
ported his quota of beer or any other liquors from outside
the state or received it cl-in-ivlim-n I., ti.. ........1 ...m
co-operate in a detailed regulation of the sale of beer per
mitted by the amendment.
' c desire to add what should be self-evident, that our
heavy investments in ihe state, our self-interest, make it
necessary that we win the favor and approval of the pub
lic by aiding an honest interpretation and enforcement, of
the law. Y e now leave it to the public to determine what
this law means to the entire state, not only through the
preservation of the hop and allied industries, but as tend
ing toward true temperance. We hope vour efforts may
be successful.
