the business outlook withdraw their
capital and cause a financial panic.
N. X. Potter believes that private
banks should be closed and our cur
rency put under the control of the
government. Canada our near door
neighbor said Mr.. Porter had in oper-
alton government banking system
and today was in much more
healthy financial condition than we
have under our present system. Gas
grow older, remarked Mr.. Potter,
II am coming to believe that King
and Queen on the throne Is the best
system of government after ALL" The
club movement has knocked the
spokes out of the political machine
in this state and in time will disin-
feet present political conditions
throughout our nation.
The dinner hour having arrived
the meeting adjourned for an hour to
enjoy the excellent repast prepared
by your hostess.
The afternoon session was opened
with a report of the delegates to the
state association. Mr.. Chandler who
was one of the delegates spoke of the
excellent attendance and the interest
shown in club movement. Never be-
FORE" said Mr.. Chandler, "have we
had such turnout and a sound de-
termination on the part Of every one
to do business" Among the resolu-
tons pertaining to national affairs
adopted by the association were bills
favoring practical parcels post sys-
TEN, and a postal savings bank, re-
building materials, graduated income
tax and a national inheritance tax,
commencing the action of the attor-
ney general of the United States in his
prosecution of corporations who vio-
late the law, and an immediate revis-
ion of the tariff on sugar imported
from Cuba and the Philippine Islands
to remedy the unreasonable raise on
sugar.
Among the state resolutions were
an extended greeting to our sister or
ganization and State Oranges to join
hands In the enforcement of all laws
looking to the highest common good
of the people of the state, a hearty
endorsement of the progressive policy
of Commissioner Earle toward better
roads, and measure reaffirming our
position on the county salaries bill.
We favor the election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people.
We favor strong legislation on prohi-
bition. A law was heartily endorsed
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of cigarettes in this state and an en-
dorsement without qualification on
the initiative and referendum meas
ures.
We then listened to an excellent
and highly and highly enjoyed instru-
mental duet rendered by Misses Hazel
Mckenzie and Vera Richardson. Our
state highway laws were discussed
by Mr.. Chandler giving us an idea
why he thought they were unconstitu-
tional.
"Dry Weather Farming i'm the West
and its lessons for us" was a topic
ably treated by Mr.. Floyd Reynolds.
Mr.. Reynolds had spared no time or
thought in treating his subject and
went quite extensively into details
concerning methods employed in the
west in handling dry weather farm
ig. We have great many lessons
to be learned from handling soil
where they have very little rain fall

A quiet Sunday evening spent with
our exchanges, Of which come 10 Or
more come 70 our deck, proved one Of
great pleasure and profit, and
impressed upon our mind many
things, among them the foIloTsng
That no state in the Union bss more
creditable, enterprisipg and fearless
press than Oregon; that the men in
charge Of these newspapers are work
ing diligently and ably for the up
building Of their respective commun-
tiles and for the good Of the entire
state that their work is bearing fruit,
as proven by the steady growth Of
population and the constant addition
Of new and important industries in
every town where newspapers are pub
lisbed that almost without exception,
the editorial expression Of these papers
is clean and considerations, aud on the
side Of civic righteousness and q
higher standard Of morality that nine

fourths Of the Republican papers are

and that every editor who Is post

These are few Of the things that we
learned Ia an hours reading, and, as
remarked at the outset, We found the
time entertainingly and prohtably
spent.
