"Ihe Country squire >,

The many admirers Of Archie Boyd in
the "Old Homestead" will give him a
warm welcome in his new play, The
Country Squire, said to be as good, pure
and enjoyable as any play of rural life
ever written. The tale Is alive with
interest; the plot is well knit and clearly
developed; the dialogue is vsried and
full Of animation; the characters are
drawn, as they should be drawn in drama
in the rough by point, touch and turn OF
speech, By flash of thought, passion and
incident the actor is guided without be.

THE STATE FAIR.

The Oregonian speaking of the state
fair says:
"There is really a fine exhibit at the
state fair. The chiet products of the
state appear there at their best. Both
as to quantity and variety, the collection
is large enough for an index of the un-
equaled resources of Oregon. Products
of the mines, the mills, the orchards and
the fields are amply represented. There
is nothing trifing in the collection,
nothing merely bizarre; everything is
the most excellent and most substantial
of its kind. The arrangement through
out is such as to make a strong display.
The gold flom Southern Oregon would
be wonder to Eastern people; the tex
tile exhibit in woolens, is very extensive
and very fine; the cattle and poultry
shows are all that could be desired, and
the general spread of cereals, fruits and
flowers is Incompatible. The state agri-
cultural college presents varied ex-
hibit of its products, both in agriculture
and mechanics, and some of the coun-
ties, notably jackson and Yamhill, have
large special displays. But the attend
ance of the people is not what it ought
to be. Two reasons may be assigned for
this: First, the decline of the social in
etInct of the former time, or per-
haps its change of direction; and second
the general depression of the times and
the scarcity of money. Nevertheless it
is gratifying fact that the exhibit, both
in its quality and presentation, is far
better than any exhibit we used to have
in the old days of different social life.

THE SPIRIT OF I776.

Referring to the effort made by the
American Protective Tariff League to
encourage the purchase of American
goods, the Wheeling, w. Va, Intelli-
gencer, September 1st, said:
"The pledge is in harmony with the
spirit of 1915, when the patriotic women
of the colonies led an assault on the i'm
portation of foreign wares, refused to
buy them and exhorted everybody to
follow their example. George Washing
ton was proud to wear suit of home
made cloth when he was inaugurated as
president of the United States.
''In this day American labor produces
all that is necessary to anybody's com
fort. If everysAmerican will resolve to
buy no foreign merchandise the sting
will be taken out of the new tariff meas
ure and the country will have healthy
prosperity in spite of democratic inter-
ference -

CONCERNING DEBT.

There is considerable truth in the fol-
lowing from the East Oregonian, and
yet there are two sides to the question.
It says:
''Debt is canker that rusts the soul
of industry. 1t is the channel through
which the slave pays tribute to the
master. 1t is soil in which Shylocks
grow, on which knaves feed and fools
multiply. Countries and persons run
in debt in proportion to their ignorance,
stupidity or recklessness. Neither a
lender nor borrower be- said Shakes
peare, and Shakespeare knew what he
was talking about. The hard times of
today are due to debt. When debts are
being made values of everything else
increase rapidly. Debt is the gambler 8
device, the thief's hope, the knave's
tool, the manipulator's implement, all
at the expense of the honest, courage
GUS man, who works for the love of it,
whose work produces wealth and whose
efforts are for better conditions, better
times, better men,

The Ohio democracy have declared

WHERE THEY ARE AT.

The silver question it is easily seen is
to be the one on which the next national
campaign is to be fought. It has forced
itself into the different state conventions,
and will cut large figure in re-arrang-
ing party lines. There are free silver dem
ocrats and republicans, anti-silver repub-
licans and democrats. Ohio democrats
have declared for silver at the ratio of 16
to and the Washington republican con-
vention now in session at Spokane will
undoubtedly do the same thing. The
result will be the forcing of either one or
the other factions out of the parties and
the establishing either of two inimical
wings to each party or the creation of a
new one. The anti-silver men like
Noah's dove will find no resting place
for the soles of their feet, unless they
make it. Belonging to all parties they
yet have none in which they can meet.
It looks to us as though the silver agita-
ton will necessarily cause the formation
of single standard party.
