' The Natural
Shortening "
J. YV. 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! ;

I N the columns of the local Hughes organ is kept stand
ing the following:
Listen: Do you want four tnorr years of the sort of prosperitv we have
ha j In Southern Oregon Hie lust four? 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. . . ,

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.

the large hall or the Xatatorium. Two

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

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

Empire Land Plaster Fertilizer
, Gypsum or Land Plaster, as It Is known to the fanner, is a sulphate
of lime, which has been recognized for years as a valuable fertilizer,
and the best stimulant and regulator of the physical conditions of the
soil that nature has provided.
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.
