WASHINGTON, Sept 24-Major William
Warner, the new Ommander-in. chief OF
the Grand Army, has issued his salutatory
circular letter No. 1. He says it is his
hope this year will be one OF earnest, ac-
tive work. Every army post should be a
recruiting station. Let it be understood,
he says, that as in 1S6l-65 the politics or
religion of the comrades was not ques-
toned, that as then we do not permit diff
ferences on those questi, ms to divide us.
Fraternity, charity and loyalty is plat
form broad enough for every survivor OF
the Union army to stand upon, and stand
ing upon that platform the spirit of true
comradeship protects the comrades sec
tartan and political opinions from even
adverse criticism. HIS opinions on these
questions he is entitled to, and with them
his comrades have nothing to do save to
respect them aud to protect him in his full
exercise of the same. The letter loses by
asking the active cooperation of al com

Certain protective tariff shriekers
Who pose AZ democrats, have had a
good deal to say shout the effect of

that the tariff issue made that state

The tariff question really had but
little ia do with it. The party owes
It's triumph to the hearty support CIV
IN it by railway monopolies and the
rum power 1t had earned this sup.
port in advance, and was not disap-
pointed when its hour OF necessity
came. At the election for congress

Ties voted, of which the democrats car.
ried l3 by majority Of 1906, and the
republicans carried the IA remaining
counties by a majority OF 3,20l
When these same 27 counties voted
on the prohibition amendment in
November, 1887, the thirteen demo.
cratic counties OF 1886 gave but 10C
majority against the measure, while
the fourteen republican counties vo
ted down the amendment by MAORI
ty OF 1927. Every republican daily
newspaper fought the amendment
bitterly, and in no state has the spirit
Of prosecution and villification OF pro
hibitionists by the republican pres
and politicians equaled to that o
Oregon. This is why the rum power
stood so solidly for the &. .. p., ant
accounts for its victory. Oregon il
possessed OF splendid natural resour
ces, but her people are cursed BY mon
opoly and rum rule. The railroads
and saloons dictate the policy of Tn,
state, and all moral effort that run
the counter to this tyranny is boycut
ted, and, il need be, crushed. Thi
evil influence is plainly visible no
only in business and social circles bll
even the churches are seriously affec
