T. .Mason, a noted shident of the Kuropean strug gle and Wiir critic, states that to keep the war going for two years and three months has cost F.urope .$.").",X)0,000. 000 in eiish paid out; not less than fifteen billions of dol lars in property destroyed, and over 4,OX).000 men killed and over 9,000,000 men wounded. Ten thousand cities, towns and villages have heen destroyed. Neither side has gamed a decision, and talk is of the war continuing indef initely. If the war ended today the people of Europe would have to foot an annual tax hill of J,7.")0,0(XJ,000 to meet the interest on Avar debts alone. For each dav the wai goes on $100,000,000 is added to the debt, 5000 'more men are killed and 11.000 wounded. In another year the an nual interest pavntcnts for belligerent borrowings will lie .f4,;oo,ooo,ooo. The taxation which the war will bequeath to Europe will be unprecedented. Every laborer must pay an income tax ; us long as he lives. In France alone there are 1200,000 fatherless children. A minimum estimate places the number of women and children deprived of breadwinners at over two millions. with over a nullum helpless cripples And the Tinted States is warned bv a candidate for the presidency, who does not hesitate to make a politi-al plaything of the delicate foreign relations of his country for partisan advantage and to heap misrepresentation, carping criticism and abuse upon the nation's chief execu tive for keeping the nation out of the hell of war, to be ware of an "energized Europe"! As Mr. Vinson remarks: "And humanity, watching civ ilization's slow recovery, will deserve fate's black ball if thereafter it cannot raise up statt 'Siiien who will keep the world out of war." And yet the American people are asked to 'black ball the statesman who has kept his country out of war! ; THE "APPEAL TO THE BELLY' KID VOl' KNOW THAT Just because a but! can hold a dozen of eggs It Is no sign that If it were filled wllli (snipe fruit Ihero'd be a dozen?

There will be no war orders to save, the donkey the next lour years. The uplift business Is very pretty, but how about your pot Itetbook Just think this over before vou cast your vote, then think it over again. This is what. (Vilonel Roosevelt has styled "an appeal to the belly,"' and is pure buncombe. The conditions ex isting in southern Oregon are local. Nor are times so very hard. There has been plenty of work a't good wages. crop prices were never higher, livestock sells at record prices. Every one knows that the era of depression that has ex istetl here, beuinnine- under President Tuft, was due to two causes the speculative realtv boom, followed naturally by a collapse, and three .years of unfavorable climatic coii- dmons. for our hard times, we had ourselves to blame. We inflated the valuation of our land and did not produce as much as we consumed. If wc had had brains enough to .. . i ii ..in. . . , ni ij;. uc uu- anev wc coiiiu nave overcome Tile tlroutli, as liy orchard heating we have minimized the frost. Had wc sufficient energy, we would have our mines operating and our timber being manufactured for mines and lumber operations are in full blast everywhere else. AVnr orders have not benefitted the valley could not benefit, this isolated section, because we produce nothing to sell the belligerents. The war has injured, rather than benefitted us, because it has curtailed the foreign market for our fruit. The valley is, however, benefitted bv the prosperity of the east, as it makes a better market for'what we do produce. The prosperity of the country is due, to a large extent. to the ledcial reserve bank act. which has made impossible hereafter. It is due, more than anythi to mic president s peace policy. However, the greatest sin the administration has com mitted is to explode the old theory promulgated, bv AVall street, that prosperity was an exclusive Possession of the republican party, and so ruined the plans for a hard times campaign. Were it not for the federal reserve act, and Wall street si ill cont rolled the nation's nionev. there is not the slightest doubt but that a panic would be created for the occasion as it has been the practice upon similar oc casions in the past. I'he following authentic statistics, taken from federal records, show the country s gams in the ast four years: National wealth 1 1 1 .imhijhhi unit law panics g else. headed by the Medford and Central Point bands inarched from the Hotel j loso Medford to the Xatatorium. Jackson county was ransacked from end to end to gaiher In the republicans, who assisted In filling the large hall or the Xatatorium. Two thousand persons were present at the rally. Lincoln McCormick of Med ford presided at the meeting. A se lection was given by the Medford quartet, followed by two original poems by Dick Posey of Ashland. Senator C. W. Fulton, the. spi-ukcr of the evening assailed the democratic parly on three groumls. alleging that they have proven themselves incom petent to administer the affairs of the nation In a business-like manner, that they have been false to their pledges and that they have lowered the stand ard of patriotism, forced down the piano of American citizenship and sowed the seeds of inollycoddllsiu in the hearts of the American people Discusses Tariff. Senator Fulton confined bis tulk for the larger part of the evening to I a discussion of, the tariff question, i staling that the democratic party, I through their bundling of the tariff j question, had thrown this countrv on' the vergo of a panic unprecedented j in the history of the couutry, a panic '. from which we were saved only by the outbreak of the European war. .Mills: and factories throughout the country hiive been closed by the lack of a pro. j tecllve tariff, he asserted. I Our present prosperity" continued the senator "has floated to us on sens of blood, borne by the wails of j widows and orphaned children. Re-! publican prosperity will come on a tide of health and happiness." i Senator Fulton, unlike many of the! orators of the republican party recog-; nized the wisdom and benefit of the : various acts of legislation enacted under the present, administration. Credit for the passage of the legisla tion, however, he claimed entirely for the republican party. The investiga tion preliminary to the passage of the urrency laws, the child labor and other acts was done at the instigation of republicans and w as carried out by the republican members of congress, he slated. Is A'diiiincd of CoilliOy. I Xo body of citizens in the world. stuuds so low In the estimation of the nutions of the earth as the American people, declared the senator. Fur ther he stated that such a standing was and is due directly to I lie foreign policy of President Wilson and his corps of diplomats. The Mexican situation was charac terized as one of the most shameful pages hi (ho history of (he was fine. Hut time Is drawing to a and the ministers are silent. which to me is a disgrace to the Chris tian church. Very few people understand lTat all. They seem to think it is a new coining up to be voted upon. which is a mistake. If wc repeal It we will be without a closing law of any kind. If defeated we will be just where we arc today. Some say It is a law to compel ev eryone to go to church, w hich is false and ridiculous. Wouldn't a few have a time making the mass go to church? It is a rest day from the toil and worry of the week. It Is a day when dad can be home with the family and get acquainted with his own folk. When the young man can go to call on his sweetheart. The church and state are separate and always will be. It Is not a church Institution, but flod's command that ithe people of the earth rest one day In seven. I.el those who want to worship do so. Alright and good for everyone loves a christian who will live up to his privilege and we all want the christian Influence. Let those who want to devote this time to other ways of rest, well and good. Rut let us keep our founda tion good and solid or we perish by our own hands. What a godless and Immoral state it would be if we had ' no day of rest. The business man wants to be free j from care und worry one day. The ; laborer wants to go to the woods with his family without being docked in w-ages.

It is composed of 4C per cent, sulphuric acid, 3" per cent, lime und 21 per cent, water. It contains two of the most common plant foods, lime and sulphur. Dr. Horace E. StockbridKe of the 1'loi lda Agricul tural College, speaking of Gypsum, says with regard to lime: "Where the mountain limestone Is at the surface, soils of remarkable properties are the result their grazing qualities being uncqiialcd. The renowned bluegrass region of Kentucky supplies the best possible evidence in support of the fact." Empire is especinly adapted to alfalfa and clovers.
