A Change Needed in Order to Get
Down to an Economical
Administration.

The federal administration last year
spent 54,O0O,OOO more than it spent
in the 1898 war. At the recent bank
er's convention Lawrence S. q llespie,
president of the Equitable Trust Com
pany Of New York, discussing the ad-
ministration, said:
'.As in our private life so in our ma
tional finances, the year 1907 seems to
have been one OF exceeding cost and
expenditure. The government state
ent at the end of the fiscal year, June
30, 1903, shows deficit of $50, Csc, ,361
and the increased deficit in July and
August amounting to $2S, 72S,OOO brings
the total deficit for the preceding four
teen months up to SIS, ,434 1861, with re-
duced revenues of $65,OOO,OO0. The
year preceding we had q surplus Of
$S7.OOO,OOO.
.The government disbursement was
1858, ,552, ,124, being in excess Of the
revenues in any year except 1906 and
1O97 and $54 100000 more than was
spent in the year when we conducted
the war against Spain and paid the
expense of landing armies in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands" /"

man De Almond.

On the word Of James Schoolcraft
Sherman, Republican vice presidential
candidate, full responsibility for con-
gress' failure to enact many needed
laws must be assumed by the Repub
liean party.
April 8, 1908, in the house, as printed
In the Congressional Record, Repre-
sentative David A. De Almond, of
Missouri, said:
"When the question is asked any
where in the ccuntry-and it will be
asked-why was not this measure
considered, why was not that meas
pre passed, why was not the other
measure brought up? there is one an
swer, and only one: Because the Re-
publican majority in this house willed
that it should not be considered, should
not be brought up, should not be
passed. We can stand upon that rec
ord. It IS well known that there is
pressure in the country, and very great
pressure, for the consideration and
passage of number of important
measures. 1t is well known that IL
large majority Of the voting strength
Of the country is insistent upon the
considera ton and the passage Of i'm
portant measures. Do not go to them
again, as you have done so often and
20 successfully, and endeavor to de-
lude them into the belief that some
how you could not get consideration
for the measure and somehow you
could not pass it. You can have con
sideration, because you have the pow
er to enforce it; and, SO far as meritOri
Gus measures are concerned, as has
been demonstrated here more than
once and will be demonstrated again,
and abundantly demonstrated, you
have only to express the will, you have
only to give the opportunity, and II
you lack the votes upon that side, as
you do not, there will be an abundant
addition here"
Sherman Admits 1t.
The same day, replying, Mr.. Sher-
man said:

NMates that the Republican side OF the
house desires to do away with the roll
calls because Of some fear Of making

MANY COUNTIES
WILL VOTE 'DRY''
MAYOR MATLOCK OF
EUGENE TOURING STATE
All Southern Oregon Counties Are
Preparing for PrOhibitiOn-Good
Meetings Being Held at Different
Places-Eugene's Record as a
"Dry" Town Is Used as an Argu-
ment.

That many of the southern Oregon
counties are going to be "dry" after
June l, is shown by the sentiment
expressed all through that section Of
the state.
Mayor Matlock Of Eugene, a broth
er of w. F. Matlock OF Pendleton, Is
now campaigning southern Oregon
for prohibition. An item in the Ore
gon Daily Journal says:
A grand temperance rally was held
by the antl-saloon forces in Grants
Pass yesterday afternoon and even
Ing. Mayor Matlock OF Eugene, ad-
dressed large crowd during the
afternoon. He presented the benefits
Of non-llcense from the standpoint of
mayor who has served office under
both the closed and wide-open policy.
Mayor Matlock's address was forceful
and will be a powerful factor in
strengthening the anti-saloon forces
here. Several hundred school child
rem marched across town, carrying
banners and flags, and formed a
chorus at the church, where the meet
Ing was held.
The several ministers preached pro-
hibition sermons both morning and
evening. At the Methodist church
the evening service was largely given
over to the addresses OF laymen on
the subject OF temperance and no IL
cense.
The antl-saloon forces are conf
dent Of victory in Josephine county
at the coming election. They are
conducting an enthusiastic campaign
and have energetic workers laboring
hard and constantly in every precinct.
They hope to make every part OF the
county dry. The campaign is being
waged along strictly business lines.
The moral part OF the question is
largely ignored and the proposition
Is presented to the taxpayers from
the business side.
Matlock's Campaign.
Mayor Matlock has been holding
meetings and speaking in Jackson
and Josephine counties during the
past week. beginning with Medford
last Monday night. where he was vel.
coined by large and enthusiastic au-
dience. The mayor presented figures
in relation to the prosperity OF Eu-
gene and Lane county under no IL
censes. He showed that a dry town
is by no means necessarily a dead
town. Eugene was never so prosper
Gus as during the last year, he main
tains.
Tuesday night Mayor Matlock spoke
at Jacksonville to an audience which
filled the court house. although II was
circus day at Medford.
Wednesday night another large
crowd gathered at the opera house
at Central Point and applauded his
Of the prohibition cause.
Gold Hill was visited Thursday and
a profound impression was made with
a simple talk abount actual facts in
the recent experience OF Mr.. Matlock
as mayor OF Eugene. The assurance
was given that Gold Hill would give
a majority for no license at the June
election. The sentiment, 1t is claim
ed, has grown so strong against the
saloon all over Jackson couny that
predictions are freely made. even by
saloon men themselves, that the coun-
ty will go dry by a large majority.
The campaign is being carried on
all over Jackson county
and business men and politicians are
lining up for a dry county.
