T& OFFICIAL COUNTY fAPUL C01PARIS0N OF WET JtfDDRY TOWNS. Some of our cities anil towns in Southern California are tryiuj the experiment of dispensing with the saloons. And the result already is most gratifying. The Search light of LosAngeles has prepared a table contrasting the coiulittou of a city of 11,000 inhabitants, which has twenty five licensed saloons, with one near by, of the same pop ulation, which has none. In the former there were last year 802, arrests, while in the latter there were only 338 a diminution in crime of nearly -00 per cent. Though the former received from saloon licenses IT.oOO, its city ra'e of taxes was $i:0 as against 11.10 in the latter, showing that licens ing saloons does not relieve the tax payer but addled to their burden. The deposits in savings banks dur ing the year were $78,92t) greater in the dry city than in that with twenty-five snloons. From which fact the inference is that the most, if not all of that $78,J-i was speut in whisky. In the saloon city there are nine Protestant churches, while in the anti-saloon city there are twenty one, which means that more than twice as many people go to church in the latter place than in the former. Oregon Issue. What about Road Master ? LOCAL 0FTI05 LIQUOR LAW. The proposed amendment to the Local Option Liquor Law of Ore gon was framed an 1 put before the voters of Oregon by the Brewers and Wholsale Liquor Dealers' Association. The above association fought for the passage of the Jayne bill in the last legislature. The Javne bill was an amendment to the Local Liquor Law but the Legislature defeated the Jayne bill and thus saved our Local Option Law. You voted for the Local Option Liquor Law t.as it was) two years ago. . Do you want the law mined now? The proposed amendment would make it worse than no law. Don' t turn the state over to rum rule.

The foreruns lament reminds us very much of tho little boy who ate too many green apples. It was ever thus com petition is not Flaps' Ions? suit, lb has ii stituted a suit to recover something like $UH) from the county for printing the county commissioners proceedings, A thing never though of by the Register man. The court docket published last week by the Oregon Mist fails to contain that case. Why this omission? Why not give tho news? The Kegister does not publish the court dockets because they do not show sufficient data to be of interest to the people. And we have refrained from mentioning tho fact of Haggs suit because we thought he might get ashamed and drop it. Hut Flagg is not built that way. For ten years we huve been publish ing the court proceedings and during all that time we re ceived but $1 for that sen ice. Before we commenced pub lication of these proceedings free or for $1 per year the Ore gon Mist published the proceedings chrrgmg as high as $ !00 per year for a service not so good as we are now giving the county for 1 per year. The Oregon Mist charged $1200 for printing the tax list and was allowed by the court $$00. the court cutting the bill down, before we commenced publishing a paper in this county. Last year we published a tax list of equal length let us by contract by two Republican county commissioners at ivt a line less than r lagg s bid, and then the court swin died us out of t'.40 on the bill by measuring with a 14 inch rule instead of a foot rule. Hut we did not sue the county. row since you mention the matter we desire to call tht attention of your readers to the fact that this same Demo crat Henderson has given evfrry citation to a Republican paper since he was in office. And just this last week he pave the Mist a list of advertised warrants, by order of a Republican county court, the judge was absent. I lie matter should have been published in the official paper, but as the county will be ahead the amount of the warrant if they are not called for it was perhaps economy to pay the Mist for the work as it is read by less people and will not be likely to be seen. Again in two other instances Flagg has been called to give expert testimony as to charges made by this office for ser vice rendered and in each case he stated our charges wert about right Now as to the job printing. We have done it and savet the county irom o to L'l) per cent, as is evidenced uy a com panson of the Mist bills for like service performed for the sheriff, treasurer, assessor and commissioners, all republican who do not give their work to a Democrat. -Now taking Flaggs view of it it is economy to elect Democrats to office ; in this county.

Stationery etc LightLunch, Houlton - Ore The veto of an appropriation or bill is a sure sign that the governor of a state is watching over and guarding the interests of the people. The return of a veto is also an al most certain sign that the legis lature has passed an ill advised liw or useless appropriation ; otherwise, the governor would not dare to have vetoed it, because of public sentiment that would be aroused against him. Incidentally, it is on this account that the legislature t and the Governor ought to be of different political parties. Why? Because a republican governor does not like to voto a bill or an appro priation passed by a republican legislature, because to thus oppose the will of the legislators is to make enemies for a Governor in his own party, which might, in turn pre vent him from being nominated or otherwise destroy him politically. Therefore, a republican govern or naturally is disposed to "stand in" with the. legislature, and that is why appropriations are so often reckless and extravagant. A democratic governor, on the other hand, is on the watch for reckless appropriations or grafts and does not fear to veto them. A republican legislature knows this and is more careful in passing appropriations, knowing that the democratic Governor will not "stand in" and that on the other hand, he will use his veto and make public sentiment against the legislature and for himself, That is why the late legislatures repeatedly refused to pass bills over the many vetoes of Chamberlain Thev knew he was right and did not oppose him.

My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the 1st instant inclosing clipping from the Register, published in your county, containing the following statement alleged to have been made by the President: "I have no very exalted opinion of the Oregon wing of the Repub lican party. I beleive the re election of Oregon' s present Gov ernor will be a good thing for the people of your state, and that event ually will not injure the Republican party in Oregon." You are authored to say that this statement is an unqualified falsehood, without any foundation whatever in fact. The President has no been asked to express and has not expressed any opinion of any kind or sort about the Guber natorial election in Oregon. Thank ing you for calling the matter to my attention, I am, sincerely yours WM. LOKB. Jr., N Secretary to the President. Mr. K. II. Flagg, editor Oregon Mist, St. Heiens, Or. The editor of the Register has the same opinion of Roosevelt as Senator Tillman. - Now if the President didn't say that what did he say? And if he didnit say anything was it because he feared he would lose Mr. Flagg' s support. Mr. Flagg hastened to write a letter to the president, which never got farther than to the president's private secretary. Flagg it is all off with you. George Chamberlain will be re-elected Governor of Ore gon and the horse-doctor will con tinue to practice at the old staud.
