He has done splendid work for that cause and his efforts have borne fruit. However he has undertaken a big contract, though no bigger than he would have on his hands if he undertook to reform the republican party in this respect. One thing against this reformation is the vote of New York which would go against any party advocating prohibition, and this has heretofore been a great factor in preventing either party adopting a prohibition plank. Now that the New York bugaboo has been shown to be such, and that the country can elect a president without its aid, the matter should be easier of accomplishment. Bryan remarked a 'few days ago that he would undertake this work because the democratic party was too good a one "to fill a drunkard's grave." Whether he succeeds or not it is certain that it will be but a few years until the United States is as dry as Oregon will be after Governor Withycombe takes a whack at the proclamation business and puts the "bone dry" law into effect. It is a safe bet that if the democrats do not climb onto the water wagon in the next few years that the republi cans will, and with the sentiment growing rapidly in favor of prohibition it will win. In fact this is about the only issue left on which that party can come back. The tariff, on which it relied, is as dead as a last year's bird s nest, so far as being a political issue is concerned, for before another presidential campaign is on, the Tariff Commis sion appointed to frame a tariff on business principles in stead of predatory desires, will have finished its work, and its ideas will perforce be given a trial at least before any changes will be considered. It will not be at all surprising if one or the other old parties comes out straight for prohibition at the next election. Bunjui Suzuki, president Laborers Friendly Society of Japan, which is simply a union labor organization, told the Federation of Labor at a recent meeting that Amer ican labor need no longer fear Japanese competition for they had learned and adopted the American ways and now demanded as high wages as the Americans. He stated the movement was growing rapidly in Japan and that in a short time the society had increased from 10 000 to 30,000. Mr. Suzuki also expressed the Japanese laborer's idea about peace. "War retards human pro gress and destroys civilization," he said. "The purpose of labor is not destruction but construction. We do not wish to spend our precious blood for the glory of munition manufacturers." All of which shows that Japan, the voungest in civilization, has learned its true lesson and has gone up in the class far above some of the oldest nations. Evidently those isolated counties in eastern Oregon are in earnest about wanting the Strahorn road built, for wherever bonds were required to aid the road they were voted almost unanimously. In Lakeview a $20,000" bond issue was voted on, the money being needed to secure cer tain rights of way, and the vote was 249 for and 9 against. Klamath county voted $300,000 by a practically unan imous vote, and it looks as though practically all the con rlit inns til' pppdent. stated bv Mr. Strahorn had been com plied with. This being the case there should be something doing in the way of railroad building in the big Inland Empire next year. It will be a great day for the state when all its isolated portions are urougnt in iuucu wuu each other. While little is being said about it, it is probable an other year will see work begun on the road connecting the Coos Bay country with Eureka, California. The gap is not a large one and is such that it can soon be closed. It will open a rich mineral section and a wealth of timber, besides avoiding the haul over the Siskiyous. With the new dry law in force there is really no use longer for the road to Hornbrook except during the summer as a scenic route. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE WRONG There seems to be considerable meat in England's con tention that her blacklisting of certain firms is a matter of her own business entirely. Lord Gray sets up this defense, and it is certainly one worth considering before condemning England for her course. He points out that Ihe blacklist is simply an order forbidding English sub jectsHrading with certain persons whom the government names and whom it considers as practically enemies, and that,;to trade with thein is .'giving comfort and aid to the erforny." He also sig6te'-'tlal;if England cannot control liwn subjects itio:'' one $se can, and that it would cey.tA'My be preposterous fo;the United States to holer she-,?coulcl control them and;aictate with whom they should or should not tracte-Ift'V other words the United States in so doing would be acting just as it ob- lects to England doing, dictating with whom hnglish sub jects should trade while denying England the same au thority over her own subjects. We do not want to overlook the fact that other coun tries can be right occasionally and this great and glorious common wealth frequently wrong. According to the law of general averages we have a right to be wrong half the time and it is fair to presume that the hustling American will keep up his average on any old thing. 'It is stated that Villa has decided to brand all Car ranza soldiers captured by him with the letters V. C. which are the initials of the de facto president's name, Venustiano Carranza. Refugees say the bandit leader ordered them branded, as traitors because they did not drive the Americans from Mexico. The most interesting part of the story is not told, for it is not stated whether the branding is to be done before or after the Carranza soldiers are stood up with their backs to the wall and shot. In other words whether they are to be branded before or after death. So far, Villa has slaughtered all the Carranza soldiers caught by him and his new order will have but little effect except perhaps to make the Car ranza troops run quicker, faster and farther than here tofore, and they will have to hurry to do any of these things. The manner in which he United States capitalist has gone into the ship-building business is shown by the re port of the department of commerce which gives the number of vessels built in this country in the past 10 months as 968, with a total tonnage of 405,894 gross tons. These were for American owners, and besides there were 157 wooden ships and eleven steel ones built for foreign owners. Portland is coming ' to the front as a ship builder and leads the northwest in this line. It looks as though the lower Willamette and part of the Columbia are destined in the near future to be one great ship yard where the Oregon fir, the best ship timber in the world, will be made into vessels to carry Oregon products to the markets of the world. Wheat broke the record in Portland yesterday when a lot of bluestem sold at $1.65. Unfortunately there is little left in the hands of the growers and not a great quantity in those of the buyers on the coast. It is esti mated that not more than five million bushels remain in the three northwestern states. . - LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 1808 CAPITAL $500,000.00 Transact a General Rankint Business Safety Deposit "Bnxe SAVINGS DEPARTMENT The Southern Pacific promises speedy relief from the intolerable car shortage and reports that it has 500 new cars on the way to the coast, or soon to be so. That num ber would help some but while the company is about it it should get a" plenty. It should not overlook the fact that Salem may require one of the old ones for a depot. With eggs selling at 50 cents and butter 90 cents a roll in Oregon towns it would seem as if the threat of Chinese eggs and New Zealand butter had little back of it. Ten thousand car loads of lumber have been sold by Northwest mills but it is undelivered because of the in ability of the railroads to furnish transportation facilities.

I know I'm long on sterling worth, but there's no place for me on earth, no job for me beneath the moon, for I was born some years too soon. 'Youth must be served, and age must slide down where the dump is yawning wide." 1 ve often heard this dismal spiel from gents panhandling for a meal, but in my daily walks I find that old boys do not fall be hind, if they still keep their smiles on straight, and keep their habits up to date.

Mr. Toons har vested 100 bushels and although the yield was light, the quality was superb. Mr. Lyons raises a number or varieties, but those brought in today wero Michigan Prolific and Searles Jumbo. Both kinds are large and the berries are fine keepers. II r. Lyons declared the cranberry business is not fully known here yet mid there are many things which' nffect production. He believes his shortage this year was caused by keeping the vines covered with water too loug and also on ac count of a frost lifter the vines were in blossom. Mr. Lyons finds that tilizing a cranberry patch increases the yield very materially and he plans on fertilizing every yenr hereafter. He has five acres all of which will be in bearing next full.

The next morning before we had quite finished our breakfast Clifford said to me: "You better get yourself something new to wear today. Mayson is going to ask us out to the country club tomor row or next day, and I want you to look all right." "But, Clifford, I've a dress that will be all right. The only ' thing I really might need is a new coat. Is it a long ridel" "About an hour, I believe." "Then perhaps I had better get a coat. I have only my evening coat and street toats." "Get something that's right Want me to go with yout" "Oh, will you, Clifford t" I asked. It was the very first time he had ever offered to go shopping with me, and I was as pleased as could be. "Yes, I'll go," and we went directly to our rooms and dressed for the street. Such a good time as I had. - Clifford bought me a perfectly stunning motor coat, a hat to match and several other things. Finally we wandered into a jeweler's and he bought me a dear lit tle wrist watch. The bracelet which held it was a tiny band of diamonds,, and the watch was set iu blue enamel and dia monds. Then he bought Edith some lovely little pins for her shoulders. I was so delighted at his thought for her that 1 almost forgot to thank him for A DAY'S SHOPPING what he had bought me. A Lunch With Clifford. After we left the jeweler's Clifford led the way into a fascinating little lunch room' and we had the daintiest luncheon all by ourselves. Clifford was so nice, so pleasant, that I chatted and laughed unreservedly. I someway felt nearer to him than I had in months. Not once throughout the luncheon did he correct me or find fault with me, or with anything I said or did. I Then, too, ne ordered ail the dishes i uaea, ana was so careiui tney sbouid be just right. I was ashamed of myself when the thought came that because he had seen Mr. Mayson 's admiration he had found me more worth while. But all such thoughts and ideas were dissipated when he said: "Remember to be especially careful to say or do nothing to offend Mayson. I think I have him where I want him, but nothing is very certain until it is signed, sealed, and delivered. rk just be on your guard, sot to do anything to offend him." "I don't see why anything I should' ao would ottend nun anyway, I re turned. "He is nothing to me, nor me to him." "Never mind what you see or don't see. Do as I tell you. " I A Friend From Home. ' I After we finished luncheon Clifford left me, and I wandered around by my ! self for an hour, then turned toward the hotel. "Mildred Sutton! where did you coae from? " a voice called. I turned around and there stood Ma bel Frost and Clara Merri woo tier, from home. I was so delighted that t could scarcely gather my wita suffic iently to be coherent. "When did you leave hornet How are father and mother? When did you e themf" I asked, giving them no tiaa to answer. "One at a time, please Mildred," Ma bel laughed. "We have been in Chi cago a week. Your father and mother were all right when we left; I sow thesa a day or two before that. How you tell u what you are doing heret Is Mr. Hammond with youf I am afraid of him; he's so dignified." "He's not alwr u iktw jt4 fied, and there's no need to be afraid of him. We have just finiehod the jolhest kind of a luncheon together, I bragged. W I'll. I m fflut fnr nn. .. I . W Clara spoke up. "I eouldnt marry' a man as old as he is. I'd be frightened, to death of him." ''J?'11' you lunch with me at the Blackstone tomorrow and 1 11 show jt he's no ogre that is, if he has no en gagement and can be with us. He is) here on business, you know." (Tomorrow The Luncheon.)
