Everything points to q gradual
gain Of strength for Roosevelt
The fact is, the tide is strongly
against the Parkerites, and they
know it. None of the big leaders
of the Democratic party are say
ing anything for him. Some
powerful appeals have been made
to Cleveland to get him to make a
few addresses for the candidate,
but be has refused in such per-
emptory terms that the old re-
ports of his taking the stump will
not be heard again in this can
vass. The excuse which Cleve-
lands immediate friends cite for
his refusal to talk for Parker is
his advanced age and feeble
health. Nobody heard anything
about these things just before the
S.. Louis convention, when there
was a chance that he would be
nominated. Had the candidacy
been offered to him he undoubt-
edly would have accepted 1t. In
that event nobody would have
heard anything abolt his ad-
vanced years or his feehleness.
Vice Presidential Candidate Davis
is almost old enough to be Cleve-
lands father, yet the Democrats
say that Davis is full of exuber-
ancp. and is good for a dozen
years of hard work yet. Cleve-
land is keeping out of the canvass
for the same reason that Carlisle, |
Fairchild, Olney and
he rest of the old leaders of the
party are keeping out. They see
defeat close at hand for
Parker, which they could not
'vert if they tried, but in which
hey would, in some degree, be In
rolved if they should take an
active part in the campaign.

county is a good country but Is
handicapped by isolation. With a
continual suuahble we cannot do
aay thing to help develop aud IN
crease values by getting more peo-
pie, increasing transportation facI'-
ties and many other things.
What one man wonjd do some
other would pull down and our
great resources would lie dormant.
We have already had one prac-
tical Illustration in Heppnpr. A
lot was purchased, work was com
menced Oh a building to cost not
less than $4,000, but local option
killed the enterprise. \ walk

will prove this. The Gazette can
name several other similar cases.
To cum up: Local option closes
the saloons; but to be placed
against this is increased taxation;
a vacation of many buildings,
which will cheaper all; gives bir'h
to and keeps forever alive faction
al strife, making the heretofore
pleasant business relations impos-
sible; and puts us back at least
fifteen years in development.
Heppner is justly proud of first
class hotel. This would have to go
with the rest. These are the rea-
SOILS why We say in the beginning,
there is a good deal for the busl-
ness man and property owner to
think about. Having such mo-
mentous changes lii mind the
Gaz-tte cannot avoid the conc!u-
sion that local option will do great
er injury to the general lines OF
business than to the liquor traffic.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

county and municipal affairs in th'
history of Oregon, is now before
the people to be voted upon at th'
November election in the matter
of local option. Even the grea
question of electipg president is
overshadowed in the agitation
After careful study, this is not
strange, for the business world can
now readily see the results which
would be immediate under the sud-
den and radical change that the
advocates of local option propose.
Up to the time of the last issue
of the Gazette, this paper has been
silent upon this question, but as
the public mind becomes active al
WAYS upon questions that mater
tally affect the public pulse, and as
real newspaper is the greatest
exponent of publicity, then it be-
comes the absolute duty Of the
Gazette to comment upon this
question, and from sound judg-
ment and reason we hope to main
tain the position Of this paper
which has already been stated.
For the freedom of the press
and the liberty Of the American
people, we owe to broad minded
citizenship in careful and unpreju-
diced investigation in the affairs Of
government. It is not our intent
to antagonize the people who be-
lieve in voting for local option,
but they shall be treated with the
greatest respect and fairness; how
ever, we do hope to show that )o-
cal option as now proposed will
not bring the results desired and
work a great injur> to business in
terests as we'll. Neither will the
Gazette oppose true temperance,
and in this controversy, so tar as
this paper is concerned, the ques-
ton of fairness will predominant.
In his issue the local optionists
have hearing as will be seen by
an article published elsewhere in
this paper, written by one of their
advocates.
Before voting for local option,
the conservative and wise business
man and property owner will have
q whole lot to think about. 1t has
taken years of labor, business
judgment and economy to accumu-
late what they DOW have, and to
have it suddenly greatly depre-
ciate in value as we'll as the in
crease of taxation which would in
evitably follow, is not pleasant
thought. Nor does this comprise all
the harm. To close up these build
ings would undoubtedly cause
depreciation in their value. How
long it would be until the build
ings can again be utilized, no one
can foretell. Tkere is no idle talk
about this, but it is a condition
that will follow should local option
triumph, as surely as day follows
night. If your property depre-
,iates in value, then mine must
1epreciate also, and from a busy,
thriving town Heppner becomes
more like a deserted village.
Heretofore, both socially and in
. business way, Heppner has been
United in a manner that would be
| credit 70 any community. The
ocal option agitation has already
'een a great promoter Of factions,
no worse here than in many other
,laces) and .ill open a chasm that
an hardly be bridged. This dis
ension and strif7 will be carried

 "Ah, now remember, Mr. Brendon Quite so. It was that Amelia square murder''
 .'You have good memory, Lord Der rington."
 Tn this case you fatter me, Mir. Brendon. There is no difficulty in my remembering the especial case, as Mrs. Jersey was tenant of mine.''
 George was not supposed to know this and displayed suitable surprise.
 ''Indeed,' he said; then you have lost good tenant"
 Possibly" replied Darlington, rath- CT grimiy. ''She always paid her rent regularly. You saw herr"
 "Yes. My friend, MT. Train, was stopping in the house.

 "He was witness also," said Bren- don significantly.

 'I stopped for the night with Mr. Train and during the night Mrs. Jer- sey was murdered
 ''You heard nothing-saw nothing P
 T was sound asleep the whole time," said Brendon calmly.
 "Humph!' Darlington pulled at his gray mustache in the very same way as George did when he was reflective What a pity. You might have discov- cred the assassin"
 .I don't think the assassin will ever be discovered 7 That's lucky for the assassin,'' re. Joined the old lord cynically. 'sYou ap- pear to be very certain, MT. Brendon." :"
 George shrugged his shoulders. "No more certain than the police are,'' he replied. They examined every one in the house, and no one could be accused there was absolutely no evidence
 Darlington for some reason appeared to be rather relieved. II read all that in the papers," he said roughly. "You are telling me nothing new. But there, you didn't say you would. By the way, do you know Miss Bull7''
 George nodded. "She told my for tune,'' he said.
 ssShe told Mrs. Jerseys fortune also, and very true fortune did she tell" said Darlington grfmly. What did she prophecy about you?"
 There were trouble and enemies and the promise that I should get my wish,' said Brendon, with quick took.
 Darlington laughed. What is your wish?''

He was speaking half to himself, and she did not wish to in. listened with all her ears Leonard continued: T found berry in the room where she was killed. Yes.

 Mrs. Ward threw herself back with a kind of unholy triumph. Do you know what you are saying, MT. Train?'' she said in half whisper "You are accusing Mir. Brendon"
 No, noY' Train started to his feet. Mrs. Ward pulled him down again and pointed with her fan toward the bou- doir.
 Flush! He might come out" she whispered. But can't you seer Bren- don wore the sprig in his coat on that night He must have been in the room and have dropped the berry What was he doing there if it was not to''-

No, Mrs. Ward, Brendon is innocent,
 He might have stolen the key while you slept"
 Train shook his head Impossible. I sleep very lightly, and on that night I hardly slept at all
 Why? Was anything wrong7"
 T can't tell you that, Mrs Ward, without violating the confidence of my friend. Indeed, have said too much Promise me you will not speak of what I have told you"
 I promise, but am quite sure that the holly berry was dropped by George Brendon and that he was in Mrs. Jer- sey's sitting room on that night He is the crfminal.''
 "E tell you he is not, Mrs. Ward. '
 Don't excite yourself, Mr. Train. Here are MT. Brendon and Dorothy 7 She sailed toward them with open hands. Finished your talk7 We must say good night" And to herself she nurmured, while smiling, I've got you at last-Tye got you at last!v And Brendon shook hands with Ma dame Judas, quite unconscious of her pfelneditated treachery.

! CHAPTER x.
2 T was most awkward meeting

R E was a most awkward meeting.
 Dorothy, Train and Brendon
 knew the truth, but Mrs. Ward
 and Vane were ignorant. As to Lord Darlington himself, George was not sure. After his converse ton with Lola he had a vague idea that, since Bawdsey WAS connected in some way with his grandfather, Lord Darlington must have somehow learned that Bren- fion was the name his grandson had taken. There was no other way of ac- counting for the mention of Derring- fon's name by the private detective.
 However this might be, Lord Der rington was too clever man to be- fray himself George felt that the old man knew who he was, but he could not be sure, for Darlington welcomed him with well bred air, as he would Gave done stranger. Mrs. Ward watched the meeting curiously, and Brendon noticed her inquiring gaze, but he put this down to his knowl- edge that Darlington knew he was a suitor for Dorothy's hand and wished the girl to marry Vane Leonard was the only person in the room who dis played any visible disturbance. He grew red and restless. Brendon was perfectly calm.
 How delightful Of you to come, MT. Brendon, 2 said Mrs Ward, rising and apparently forgetting that she had for bidden him the house T must intro duce you. Lord Darlington MT. Brendon, and you know Mir. Train"
 eve are old friends" said George calmly. Miss Ward"-he bowed to Dorothy, who emulated his serenity, although she felt anxious. But when she saw her lovers composure she knew that nothing disagreeable would occur, and her apprehensions were re neved.
 There ensued general conversation relative to the weather, to the dofngs of a certain politician and to sundry other subjects more or less vague. George talked excellently and was conscious that Darlington was listen ing with approval Again and again he wondered if the old man really knew who he was. and again and

again he failed to arrive at any con clusion. After a time Leonard went with Dorothy to the piano, where she played for his delectation, and Mrs.

 Darlington chuckled at this reply. He thought George had a good deal of the man In him when he answered thus fearlessly. .T have seen your name somewhere lately" he observed, ssbut can't recall where or in what connection.

Jacob Riis Tells 1t.

Jacob Riis and Chief Delaney held
a short tanning bee" at the police
station a couple of days ago, in which
both were telling stories of their ex-
periences, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gence. Riis is story teller of merit,
and Chief Delaney delights in a conf
cal yarn.
Riis was telling the chief of his ex-
periences in New York when Theo-
dore Roosevelt was a police commits
Sioner there.
Roosevelt had filed charges against a
sergeant for drunkenness on duty, and
the copper was before the board for
a hearing.

The sergeant remained impressive while
the charges were being made against
him, but finally it came time for him
to Ngive his side of the case
''Mr. Roosevelt" he said, these are

l am their only support. That is all /
have to say for myself"
You can go back to work, but be
careful of your conduct next time"
The plea of the sergeant had reach
ed the heart of the man who is now
President.
A few months later Roosevelt found
that the sergeant did not have a child
in the world but that the children he
appeared with before the commission
were borrowed expressly for the occa-
sion. The same man is now a cap
tain in New York, and rated an eff
cient officer. ~

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
(Dem.) says of the Reed Smoot case:
There is no technicality Of law stand
ing in the way of his expulsion from
the Senate. That body is the sole
judge of the qualifications of its own
members, and may seat or unseat
members at will. The lower house of
Congress pointed the way in the case
Of Roberts, elected as representative
from Utah, whose case was analogous
to that Of Smoot. The case is made
up against the Mormon apostle, and he
should be voted out of the seat which
his presence disgraces."
The Charleston News and Courier
CDem.) says: ut is again alleged that
white slavery exists in the mines of
West Virginia. We only mention the
matter in order to observe that West
Virginia is a Republican and not a
Democratic state. Senator Elkins and
not the Hon. II. G.. Davis should be
held accountable for this alleged la
inevitable condition of affairs"
The Baltimore Herald Qnd) says:
",rhe United States Senate is the most
expensive legislative body on earth. No
corporation would think of forming
committees that meet at most but
once or twice a year at a salary OF
$1,000 a year each. and yet our ma
tlonal legislature does this at every
session. II is not surprising that Con-
gress is spoken OF as n biilion-dollar

The Charleston Post (Dem) says:
"Mr. Roosevelt has said he would be

SECRETARY TAFT'S HOBBY.

Secretary Taft is running up against
a great deal of opposition in has eff
forts to make something out of the
Philippines. 1t is he who is back of the
proposition that this country shall
loan the Philippines, either in credit
or money, $5O,00O,OOO with which to
build railroads, and it is he who is
urging that the Philippine products
shall be admitted to our markets free
of duty. If the tariff should be taken
off the products from the islands it
would be a good thing for consumers
of those products in this country and
1t would be exceedingly helpful to the
Filipinos. but how about our tobacco
and sugar growers, and makers of the
commoner grades of cigars?
The cigar interests have already
held a meeting and taken steps to
head off the Secretary, and put a
quietus on his efforts to take the tariff
off of Philippine goods. They say that
IL he should be successful fairly good
Manila cigars could be sold at a profit
in this country at two and a half to
four cents apiece-such cigars as now
sell for five and ten cents apiece. AS
for stogies. they could almost be given
away, and that, too, at a profit to
the dealer. The reason Is the cheap
ness of labor in the Philippines. A
cigarmaker there gets only 40 cents a
day against s1.77 in this country.
Both the beet and cane sugar grow
ers are said to be taking steps against
the Taft programme. How successful
they will be it is impossible to fore
see, but it is evident there is a pretty
strong sentiment among Republicans
in Congress in favor of doing all that
it is possible to do to show that the
Republican party is right in holding
on to the islands-that is, that the Is
lands can be developed so they will
yield to this country a large and prof
table trade.
