BRADY IN FAVOR
OF PROHIBITION
Chief Executive States His Posi-
ton on Liquor Question.

81 do not believe this temperance
question should be partisan one,
but whenever it is made partisan ].
believe that a man should be big
enough and broad enough and hone, t
enough to let the people know ex-
aetly where he stands on the ques-
tion. In the last campaign the par
ty represent placed plank in the
platform squarely favoring local
option law. In my message to the
legislature / plainly and forcibIy
recommended the enactment Of such
a measure. The Legislature placed
on our statute books what | believe
to be safe, sane and equitable local
option law.
"But all of this, my friends, sim.
ply means that the people, your ex.
ecutive and your legislature have
decided that it is inst and proper
that the question as to whether OF
not liquor should be sold within tht
borders of any county shall be sub
mitted to an impartial vote by tn,
people.
"And now the time has arrived
when every man should show hi
colors and honestly and frankly le
the people know exactly where b.
stands on this important question.
II wish to say to you tonight, AM
to the people of this city and tn
commonwealth, that / am unqualifi
edly and irrevocably in favor o

within the borders of this falr stat
of ours.'-From speech of Goyel

1t case the issue carries at the

not apply to the sale Of denaturtd,
wood or pure alcohol for medicinal,
mechanical or scientific purposes, or

pose only. All other alcoholic Ii

All legal residents of the county

HEPBURN OPPOSES
THE TARIFF BILL

Washington, July 2S.-President
Taft has twice sent for Senator Hey
burn recently to discuss with him
tariff schedules affecting his state,
but both times Heyhu has refused
to 60. He maintains that the presi-
dent has no constitutional authority
to take any hand in shaping tariff
legislation while it is b fnre con-
gress and thould keep his hands off
until the bill has finally passed both
bodies and goes to him for his sig
nature. So far as he personally is
concerned, Heybu n does not pro-
pose to submit to presidential lnfu-
en;e.
Senator Hepburn is more pro
nounced IN his objection 0 free hides
than any other one man in congress.
Heybur says he will not vote for
free hides even if shoes, harness and
all other manufactures of leather are
placed on the free list. BY his de

him to acquiesce in placing hides oI
the free list.

CHIEF PINCHOT

Portland, Ore. =, July ga dis
patch from Washington to the Ore
gonian says that no one any longer
pretends to doubt there is deadly
feud between the interior depart
ment and the forest service, which
is a branch of the agricultural de-
partment.
= Secretary Ballinger has been
opening to settlement lands which
had been withdrawn by advice Of
Chief Fuiester Piuchot, and some
of these lands include water sources
and power sites, which Pinchot's
friends say will now be gobbied ny
by the trust which ha9 secured pret.
ty much all the water available for
power in Oregon, Washington and
California.
Ballinger is sald to aim at the de-
capitatlon of Chief Newell, of the
reclamation service, as well as OF
Pinchot, and Newell is working both
tooth and nail to justify his course,
while Pinchot is doing the same.
Senator Newlands, of Nevada, gave
ii al fresco supper last night, with
stereopticon views afterwards as
part of NewelPs campaign.
The latest phase of this fight IL
the termination by Ballinger of a
cooperative arrangement heretofore
existing between the forest service
and the Indian Office in the protec
ton of forests on Indian reservation
and in the sale of timber and tn,
supervision of logging. Ballinge
makes the claim that such co-opera
tion is in contravention of law ant
, of well-settldd principles.
Pinchot declines to comment OIL
this action. but he is known to b
greatly dieghsted, and has sent t
; the secretary of agriculture a state
ment of the work done under tn
]. cooperative agreement, which az
parently is intended to be in justif
q cation of It.

PRODUCTION OF AUTOMOBILES

Alfred Reeves, general manager
of the American Motor Car Manu-
factnrers' association, after a tour
of the factories, states that the pro-
duction of automobiles in this coun.
try in 1910 will reach 2OO,0 900.
This will amount to 125 per cent
increase over the production in 1909,
which is not meeting the demand in
some lines.
In other words about as many
cars will be built next year as are
now In use, and the selling price
of the 1910 production will be al
least 5000, Goo, 900. This gives some
idea of the growth and Importance
of the business. 1t also indicates ;
vast increase in the prosperity o
the people.

has been the priest In charge for the
last six years.
Three hundred sticks OF dynamite,
enough 10 have blown up the neigh
borhood, was found In different parcels
around the church. Most of the fuses
had been clumsily set and failed to ex-
plode the charges.
Thirty sticks OF the explosive had
been arranged In tower of the church
adjoining the home of Father Maher.
After the explosion policeman found
this parcel Of dynamite with its fuse
stlil smoking.
II the charge had been exploded, the
parsonage would have been destroyed
and Father Maher killed. Enmity to
him has been expressed by some Of the
Practitioners who opposed the building
of the church.
A reward Of $1,000 for the arrest Of
the dynamiters was offered by the
Common Council.
