Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered. this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory If proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

HERE'S A REPoBCicAn BOOM.
ERANG.

An editorial printed in the Fort
Worth (Tex) Record of September 6.
will give the Republican standpatters
something to think about.
The Records editorial follows:
Scattered over the editorial page of
the New. York Herald the following
line In italics appears several times:
Mr.. Bryan promises US tariff reform.
But can he deliver the goods with a
Republican house of representatives
and Republican senator
The Herald is openly fighting Nj.
Bryan, but the intended attack upon
him in this query is pretty much Of
a boomerang. Its logical answer makes
more for Mr.. Bryan than against him
The Republican party is pledged to
tar1n revision, yet the Herald asks:
Can Bryan bring tariff revision with
the handicap of a Republican senate
and house? Does that mean that a
body of Republican lawmakers means
that there shall be no tariff revision?
Does that mean that the Republican
promise for tariff revision is mean
AhSiCSo. very SNlueUlly the Herald
so believes. Nor is the Herald alone
in that belief
And if Mr.. Bryan, Democrat, can
not deliver the goods of tariff revision
in spite of Republican congress, how
will Mr.. Taft be able to accomplish
the feat? The Herald's argument is
so loose and vulnerable as to be I'M
worthy of any paper which aspires to
the position in politics and journalism
which the Herald assumes to fill
But the answer to the question is
that in the gathering together Of the
body of men who will make the next
congress there has been in many cases
a sacrifice of party affiliations for the
naming Of the better man. Also, the
men who will form the next congress
are in many cases more patriotic than
partisan. There are Republicans who
will stand with the Democrats for
tariff revision in spite of all powers
against it, because tariff revision is
a matter greater than party at this
time: 1t is going to be a pretty diff
cult job If Mr.. Bryan is elected to
prevent tariff revision"

THERE is THE RECORD.

Referring to the Democratic cam
paign text book for 1908 the New
York World says:
The Democrats have stout rods in
pickle for the Republicans this year,
as is proved by their campaign book
of 300 pages. but they apply none of
them to the Republican president.
They are opposed to jingoism, mill
tarism and imperialism, and yet the
most warlike of presidents escapes
criticism. They denounce extrava-
gance and waste at Washington, and
the man who is largely responsible for
this reckless expenditure finds no &C
cuser. They make war upon the priv
LEGGED plutocrats of the tariff, the COM
bines and the trusts, and yet the only
president who ever sent for a Harri-
man and arranged for the collection
OF campaign corruption fund is no.
where condemned. They demand pub
hcity in campaign expenditures, and
yet a president who neglected at a
critical time to insist upon that policy
Is held blameless. They reproach the
Republican party for its failure to en-
force the laws against the pirates of
interstate commerce, and yet the pres
ident, who holds that the laws are too
drastic and that they must be modi-
fed, goes free of censure"
Harsh words are not necessary. The
Democratic text book shows up the
Republican record, and nothing could
be gained by bitter denunciation. The
facts as to jingoism, militarism, I'M
perialism, extravaganza and waste at
Washington. tariff privileges enjoyed
by combines and trusts, Harriman's
contribution to the Republican cam
paign fund, the Republican party's
failure to enforce the law, and the Re-
publican record generally = these
things are all presented in compact
form.
There is the record. The peopIe
may apply it-and the Commoner be-
lieves they will apply it, so as to de-
feat the political party that is re-
sponsible for that record
In the meantime anyone may obtain
a copy of the Democratic campaign
text book for 1908 for 25 cents. 1t will
be sent, postpaid, for that sum. Ad-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
Ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

Better Averages In Batting, Fielding
and Every Department OF the
Game.
NJ. A. RAIDER score keeper for the
league ball games, has compiled a ta-
BILE showing the detailed work OF the
Pendleton and Walla Walla teams
during the four games recently play
ed here and the showing is very
favorable one for Pendleton.
The batting average Of the two
teams was 1913 for Pendleton and .222
for Walla Walla. Pendleton's field
ing average was $50, while Walla
Walla's was .S41. The remainder of
the summary is as follows:
Runs-Pendleton, 81; Walla Walla,
2S.
Earned runs-Pendleton, IA; Walla
Walla, 10.
Stolen bases-Pendleton, IS; walla
Walla, 20.
Sacrifice hlts-Pendleton 5; walla
Walla, l.
Strike outs-Pendleton, 21; walla
Walla, 80.
Left on bases-Pendleton "a; Walla
Walla, 20.
Hits-Pendleton, 46; walla walla,
80.
Errors-Pendleton 10; walla Wal
la, %.
1t will be seen from the above that
the local team outclassed its oppo-
nents in practically every part of the
game.
