Transmississippi Congress.

The Transmississippi congress
which convenes at San Antonio No
vember 22 should be, the most impor-
tant of any OF these annual congresses
thus far, for the simple reason that 1t
has greater demands upon II and
greater opportunities.
This western country, which com
prises so per cent of the area of the
United States, is supplying 60 per cent
of the nations exports. II should
supply more. And by proper manage
ment 1t will. The only thing neces-
sary is wise and timely action. The
transmississippi country Is on the
verge Of the greatest development
New industries are springing up IN the
mine, on the farm and in the cities.
New areas of land are being opened
up for settlement with the facilities
for producing large crops; even two
new states are in the process of forma-
ton. In short a new kingdom. which
one day must surpass that facing on
the Atlantic ocean, is unfolding ia
bounteous wealth from the Mississippi

COUNTY OPTION IN OPERATION.
How "a works In Oregon and
WHITTIER ~ Leads.

Indianapolis News.
The editor OF the North Yakima Republic
has been investigating the workings OF the
county option law In oregon, aud he makes
the following report:
mo thoughtful man who wants good gov
eminent and a decent neghborhood 20 live
in need 20 go further away from home than
the neighborlng state Of oregon for object
lessons which will convince him that the
county unit is no panacea for the ills of
the liquor traffic. II he doesn't want TO
travel over that state. as this writer has
done twice IN the last few months, II
ought to be enough for him to read in the
newspapers OF the fruitless efforts which
are being made in all the larger towns OF
dry counties to enforce a law not backed
up by public sentiment only this week,
in a town not so large as North Yakima,
made dry against the will OF its people,
over forty Illicit whisky sellers we're ar
rested and yet the authorities confess they
are making not the slightest Roadway
against the unlawful business"
The Portland Oregonisn. an honest and
perfectly trustworthy paper. confirms this
view, and further says that 1t is confirmed
by the experience Of every dry county IN
Oregon. The conclusion of the Investigator,
which is approved by the Oregonlan, is that
he believes in local option under provis-
ions for units in which prohibition can be
made to prohibit" That is all that the
present law accompiishes for the prohi-
bition that now exists prohibits in com
munities-towns, cities or counties-where IL
is desired by the residents that II shall pro-
hibit.' In other communities IL does not
prohibit. The friends of the law, realizing
all this, are now demanding state prohibit
ton. In the beginning they took the
e Ound that every community ought to have
the right to decide for itself whether or not
II would have saloons That ground has
been abandoned, and the wishes of the
various communities are to be overridden
by a state law, the demand for which Is a
practical confession of the breakdown of

Facts Versus Fiction.

II any republican doubts that the
democrats are laying tine basis in the
election this fall for their campaign
Of 1912, let him read Champ Clark's
keynote speech. In that the demo-
cratic house leader lays down a plat
form of promises, ten in number and
specific, as the partys slogan for the
next national campaign. Next to the
fact that It is the keynote OF a. presi-
Dental contest is the fact that 1t
draws a conspicuous contrast between
the deeds of the republican party and
the words of the democratic party,
the acts of the Taft administration
and the promises of his opponents.
Naturally enough the first promise
has to do with tariff reform and re-
VISION down to a revenue basis.
AS The Bee recently observed, every
reference to wise and faithful tariff
legislation the democrats may make at
once forces an invidious comparison
between the present tariff law, which
they denounce, and the Wilson-Gor-
man law--the last one their party en-
acted-which their president and
then leader, Grover Cleveland, de-
nounced as a piece of party perfidy'
and vetoed. II, then, the democrats
tell us they will give us the sort of
tariff law we desire and ought to-
uuo ha rfuhf "a
demand some evidence of their good
faith and intentions. And in choos-
ing between political parties and plat
forms, we can only judge the future
by the past, Are we, then, to pin our
faith to a party whose own leader de-
nounced its legislation as perfldious?
But, of course, Champ Clark and
his fellpw-campaigners are not dis
cussing the Wiison-Gorman tariff
law; they have never yet referred to
1t. They dare not. They are hoping
the people have forgotten about it,.
Nor are they honestly discussing the
present tariff law. They are not say
ing anything about the fact that as
revenue producer it has proved the
greatest success of any tariff law ever
enacted by this government. They
talk about tariff for revenue only"
but they do not tell the people that
in one year this republican tariff law
transformed a dencit OF $4,000, 900
into surplus of S2e.0OO,OOo. In
other words, Champ Clark and other
democratic leaders do not dare dis
cuss the tariff and these two tariff
laws on their merits, giving as much
prominence to facts as they do to
fiction. They SIMPLY risk their all on
the hope of fooling the people.
Another thing they do not tell is
that the president and his party, while
they acknowledge the good points in
the present law, admit that it is not
as good as they want and have ear
nestly committed their party to a fur
ther revision and that this is not only
a campaign promise, but an actual
condition, for whose fulflllment the
tariff board will report upon its fnd-
ings as to the cost of labor and man
ufacture here and abroad at the next
session Of congress, this report to
supply the basis Of the further re-
vision, All these facts are carefully
minimized or concealed entirely by
these keynote" saunders, who the
last time they were in control of af-
fairs plunged the nation into the
depths Of the worst panic 1t ever ex-
perienced.
