The country is experiencing now
whut could uaturally have been ex
pected when nationl prohibition
went into effect. The country is full
of stills, and federal authorities are
kept busy searching them out in se
questered places and closing them up.
Oregon is not without her examples
Newberg, Independence, Woodburn,
Salem, and Washington, Clackamas,
Tillamook and Polk counties have all
been investigated by federal authori
ties and large-sized stills found and
closed up. Some very drastic punish
ment will be inflicted, no doubt, when
all the trails have been heard. Know
ing ones in almost every community
have their suspicions of these places
existing close at home, and no one
knows the day when they will meet
their fate. So many persons think
they cannot live without their "tod
dy,” but the day is coming when they
will have to, if the government keeps
up its present gait. In the state of
Washington it is said by investigat
ors that theje are ten thousand stills

A Nebraska farmer in Wayne coun
ty was recently urged to donate* $18
for the privilege of wading in the
same pool of turbid discontent with
A. C. Townley and others of lesser
weight in the Non-Partisan League
that is making North Dakota notor
ious. That he did not take kindly
to the propaganda is evidenced by
the following letter he wrote to his
local paper: "Being a farmer and a
friend of farmers and interested in
their welfare, I ask the privilege of
giving warning to people in this part
of Nebraska against the political pro
paganda that is being worked among
the farmers at this time at $18 each.
Having been canvassed a short time
ago to join the Non-Partisan League,
I inquired about the merits of the
organization, and the best the agent
could say was that the league desired
to get control of the legislature and
get control of the legislature and
would then make laws to suit. That
is what has been done in North Dak
ota, and 1 judge from reports North
Dakota is the least progressive states
in the union, owing to the Non-Par
tisan league laws. This agent is now
preaching class hatred, arraying one
class against another, and particul
arly against the bankers. Now, I
have had my turn with the banks,
and I will say that they are one’s
be.i friends if they are treated right.
Non-Partisan league agents are go
ing among our farmers sowing the
seeds of discord, and asking them to
pay $18 apiece to have their country
hurt the same as North Dakota has
been hurt. The league is trying to
get into our legislature under a cloak
of deceit, and it is no friend of
mine."—Sheridan Sun.

A fellow asked the editor the other
day why we didn't have more to say
about politics. What’s the use, and
then think of the weather which is
a discouragement to useless exertion.

It is merely a repetition ot the old
story. The war-time debauch of nio-
| ney-squandering is still on. High and
low. those in the Administration can
not get over the scoop-shovel habit
in handling the money which the
people of this country must stagger
under back-breaking tax burdens to
supply.
Speaking on this subject a few days
ago, Representive Good, Chairman of
the House Appropriations Committee,
said that the Government at this day
Is honeycombed with waste and dup
lication. and he added: "When Con
gress proposed a remedy that would
put the greatest business in America,
the Government itself, on a business
basis, a man in the Treasurp Depart
ment wrote a veto for the President
and the buget was lost.” So th? dup
lication of Jobs and the money shov
elling of the Administration go right
on in full swing.
The end of the war did not end
the crime- for such wanton waste
of the people’s money, pure and sim
ple, was nothing short of crime. It
went right ahead. Mr. Good cited an
instance. He said:
"Just three days after the signing
of the armUtice, when President Wil-

November. Harvey’s Weekly.
Samuel Gompers says: “The high
cost of living'is a paramount issue
with the American people.” Impos

power seven and a half years ago
promising to settle that question sat
isfactorily by repealing the infamous
Payne-Aldrich tariff law.”
You’ll have to hand it to a Demo
cratic politician who has the nerve
to get up this year and talk about
what the Democratic party is going
to do for the people when everybody
