The soil of tho plateau Is almost free |

re gion being almost aluvial. It is COM

OF II which have never been touched by |

any OF II has ever been thoroughly |
farmed. The Indians use plows made
OF wood that cut the ground to 4 depth
oh three inches. They have bullooks 10
dras them. and farm the same way
they did generations ago. Nevertheless
they grow fairly good crops. and with
deep plowing large crops of barley might

Reunion of a Common Cause
Daniel Polling in an Address at St. LOUIS January 5 1914

Men and women, we are comrades
in great fight, holy war. We have
been long time marching and the
road is blood marked, but marvellous
ly has the pace quickened in these lat
ter days. Much of the new zest and
heartening courage that we find every
where is the fruit of new realization
of brotherhood in a common cause.
We do not forget the past, for out of
it come knowledge and inspiration for
the present. But we have forever
burned behind us the bridges of parti
san hate and forever is behind US the
field of fratricidal strife.
There is fighting and glory enough
for all. Each organization in its own
place, faithful to its fundamental poll
cies and principles must do its own
work No worthy organization will
be superseded. No worthy organiza-
ton can be spared.
But the goal is a common goal.
There is always, everywhere, one and
the same end in view. The many are
parts of mighty whole. And when
in the fullness of time the final assault
is marshaled against entrenched, blood
smeared, age old liquordom, the brok
ell quick steps of divisions will be-
come the rhythm of a united army.
On the tenth of December, 1913, a
great committee went down to Wash
ington to petition Congress. Two
thousand men and women swept up
Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol Hill,
a living appeal for the submission to
the states of this Union, of the ques-
ton of national constitutional Prohi-
bition. l marched in that parade.
In front of me, in the Pennsylvania
delegation, marched a gray-haired

bishop of my church. Erect, fine of
face, with the spring of youth still in
his step, his was a presence to which
my eyes often returned. Once, when he
turned to me, saw that tears were
in his eyes. 1t was not the first time
that he had marched up Pennsylvania
Avenue! In 1865 a boy of nineteen,
under the battlefront flags of his regi-
ment, fresh from Appomatox, he
marched up Pennsylvania Avenue in
the Grand Review.
And this was the greater march of
the two! Not the trumphal procession
of stupendous, bloody strife, but the
prophetic marshaling of a new and
greater freedom in a land that knows
no north and no south. And then, as
though to bind forever the hearts of
brothers once estranged, a new declar-
alton of Emancipation was given into
the hands of an honored son of Texas
and lion-hearted ALBANIAN.
Surely, if ever the spirits of the de-
parted return to the earthly scenes of
their struggles and triumphs, God
must have sent the soul of Lincoln to
sanctify the consummations of that
day. For, as Lincoln died for a coun-
try united, he dreamed of nation
without a saloon

been yelling their scalps loose over
the energetic way in which Governor
Oswald West handled the Copperield
situation. He was attacked in the
courts and won, hands down on the
main question of his right to enforce
the law when the local authorities
won't. While turning down the en-
ployment of special counsel, the court
upholds the right of the governor to
compel the local author tiles to attend
to their duties and compel them to
carry out their oaths of office
The attempt to scandalize and dis
credit the governor in the newspapers
found the governor coming back at
them in a way that stung and smarted.
District Attorney c. T. Goodwin, of
Baker county, wrote the governor an
indecent and insulting letter and this
is the way Governor West comes back
at the delinquent prosecutor:
Vests Letter to Goodwin.
Some time ago I advised you that
unless you took steps as provided by
law, for the abatement of certain nul-
sances in your city, would be oblig-
ed to proceed against you for negli-
gence in office. 1t appears from news
paper reports that my letter has had
the desired effect and my request is
being complied with
| note what you have to say in your
recent letter to this Office in reference
to the obscene pictures taken from the
walls of Copperfield Councilman Wei
gand, saloonkeeper, law-breaker, and
client of your partner and Deputy At
torney Nichols
Oh intimate that in my attack on
you | am attacking the decent people
of Baker county. Let me admonish
you not to so hatter yourself In at
lacking you, | was attacking organ
lied vice, which had been permitted
to live and operate through your fail
ure to perform the duties of your Of
fee and your permitting your law
partner and deputy to act as its
attorney.
Hereafter this office expects you to
do your duty, and we intend to see
that the laws of your county are
strictly enforced. Local officials will
be given every opportunity to bring
about this desired condition of affairs,
but on their failure to do so we intend
to resort to such prompt and effective
measures as in our opinion will pro-
duce results.
You were elected to the Office you
now hold as an act of charity, and you
owe it to the law-abiding citizens Of
your county to remain faithful to your
promise to the voters and to show a
decent respect for your oath of office
Then the governor went down to
Portland and delivered an address to
the AID Club in answer to his critics
When he got through, the critic critics
all took to the woods. Here are some

said in justification of his conduct:

the homes while the population at
