FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT and
ELIHU ROOT MAY Be CALLED
TO TESTIFY At SYRACUSE

up to the present time, including testi-
mony of witnesses, questions of counsel
and rulings of the court. Justice An
dreWs Oh Friday borrowed from one Of
the lawyers a copy of the complete ex-
animation of Col Roosevelt, direct,
cross and redirect, and he spent the en-
tire day studying it.
Whether the printing evidence is al
lowed to remain in the record or not,
the defendants case is practically COM
pleted. Mr.. Bowers has half dozen
witnesses remaining, but he thinks he
can finish with them by Monday noon.
If Justice Andrews strikes out Of the
record all the printing testimony, Mr..
Bowers may not call any more wit
nesses along that line for it is under
stood that he has little more evidence
that would be vital. II it is allowed to
remain, he may wish to strengthen the
case.
To Examine Private Accounts
One of these witnesses will be Charles
NJ. Winchester, vice president of the
]. B. Lyon Company, who was served
with a subpoena on Friday night or
derinS him to produce many more
books which the defence hopes to es-
tablish were among the ones printed
by the Lyon concern with the name Of
Albany Evening Journal upon them. Mr..
Winchester testified on Friday that Mr..
Barnes once sent for him and they had
a conversation which resulted in the
name of the newspaper being published
in various publications instead of that
Of the J. B. Lyon Company.
On Friday Mr.. Winchester will be ask
ed to identify at least one book printed
by his company upon which the Albany
Evening Journal received a commission.
More of the private accounts of the jour
examined.
AS soon as the Roosevelt side if all pre-
scented, the plaintiffs case will begin in
rebuttal. Should the printing evidence
be allowed to stay in, the Barnes law
yers will have to call many more wit
nesses than otherwise, because it will
mean that the justice has decided that
enough evidence has been presented to
connect Mr.. Barnes with the operations
of the so-called printing ring and he will
have to prove that he had no knowledge
of the alleged wasteful and extravagant
methods of the printing firms with which
he was connected in their handling OF
state printing contracts.
On the other hand, If the printing evil
dence is ruled out. Mr.. Barnes lawyer
may not think it necessary for him to
take the stand, and in this way the trial
| will be greatly Shortened. In any event,

are a constant source of irritation t,
employers, doing far more damag,
than the good they do, and then ther'
are few others, notably the Inter
national Typographical union, al
honorable organization. The printer
path in the large cities is not roseate
it has its thorned bushes as do thost
of other trades, but its followers fine
less spectacular and far more effec
tive methods for dealing with the ills
they encounter. How long since you
have read printers strike? The
printers system is not one of strikes
and boycotts. Not only is the typo
graphical union a good one, but its
works are good-a statement borne
out by report read at the recent
convention of the organization at Los
Angels.
The report covers the work of the
home for aged, sick and disabled
printers, established and maintained
by the union. The report covers the
work of the unions tuberculosis col
ony, annually caring for large num-
Der of tubercular sufferers. The mo-
ton picture, ga Durable Disease"
and released by the print
ers, has been exhibited in all parts
of the country, and campaign for
sanitary workrooms has resulted in
the lives of typesetters at
least ten years and has brought en-
ployers to realization of the fact
that men do more and better work
under such conditions, says the same
report. To watch the evolution of
other branches of trade-unionism to
the same elevated plane as the typo
graphical union now rests upon will
be interesting.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-08-17
is MEETING EXPECTATIONS.

1t is a matter of no little satisfac-
tion to note, that the new federal re-
serve bank system is fully meeting the
expectations of its friends, in provid-
ing plentiful supply of ready money
for crops moving purposes this sea-
son, without fuss or friction. This
is the first real test which has been
given to the new system since it was
placed in operation last November.
and according to the first detailed re-
port of receipts and expenditures the
system is working out in a manner
that is highly successful and highly
satisfactory.
1t is of interest to note, too, that
in the south, where it has been most
difficult for the banks to meet the de-
mands made upon them, because of
the bottom falling out of cotton pric-
es, the regional institutions report
profitable careers. For instance, the
Richmond bank led all others. with
net earnings of more than seven per
cent. Mr.. W. P. G. Harding of the
federal reserve board is authority for
the statement that there will be scot
ton tragedy" in the south next year.
no matter what the foreign market
may be. AT least half the crop now
coming on, in addition to that held
over from last season, will be cared
for under plans now under way by
Mr.. Harding and his associates.
With the system meeting so hand
somely the first pressure that has been
brought to bear upon it, the prospects
for an easy disposal of the crop-mov-
ing demands of the west appear to be
especially bright. Not only are the
banks in better shape than for years
past, but. through the federal system
of rediscounting. their loaning power
is heavily increased. As a result. it
is declared that for the first time it

AVOIDING DEBT.

Perhaps it is very fortunate for
Germany, if the allies are finally vic
torious in the European struggle, that
the nation has not been able to use
her credit with other powers. Fortu-
nate because Germany will be free
from a debt, such as the other bel
ligerents are amassing with the pur-
chase and importation of hundreds of
millions Of dollars worth of those
things that are necessary to the sue
cess of their cause. Germany is un-
able to buy the foodstuffs in foreign
markets, and the copper, oil and 9th
er munitions of war that the Allies
are importing in great quantities, and
which represent many millions of dol
lars on the credit ledger of the Uni
ted States and the few other neutral
nations. In spite of this Germany
seems to be amply supplied with the
necessaries of modern warfare from
her own factories and those Of Aus
tria. 1t has been said that, with the
importation of petroleum shut off,
Germany's resources in oil would rap
idly diminish, but if this is true
there is no visible sign of the nation S
suffering. Industrial development is
undoubtedly increasing in the father
land and great economies are being
effected because of the necessity and
because the world s credit is closed TO
her. Thrift and progress are natur-
al results of this inability to get
credit. from other nations, although |
he easiest way out would be to ere
ale great debts to balance those of
England, making Germany's imports
from America equal to those of Eng
and, in place of the blank line that
low represents Teutonic purchases.

A LESSON WORTH WHILE.

There are a good many things
which the people of this country can
learn to their own advantage from
the people of Europe. 1t is claimed,
for instance, that Belgian refugees
who have found work on North Caro-
lima farms have made the natives sit
up and take notice, by raising valu-
able food crops in from seventy to
eighty days. 1t has been justly said
of Belgian agriculture that it is gar
dening on a large scale. 1t utilizes
every inch of available soil, every ray
of sunshine, and every drop of water,
or as near that system of complete
ness as possible. Like other Ameri-
cans the North Carolinians have rest
ed easy in their possession of land
of plenty, even when the farming is
of a thoughtless, halfway sort, They
have no conception Of how a market
gardener in the suburbs of Paris can
afford to pay a thousand dollars
year rent for a single acre of land,
and yet make a satisfactory profit.
But Belgians know
Americans are giving increased at
tention to intensive farming in all its
branches, and if Belgians find it nee
essary to leave their own country,
region they have developed to such
high degree, their services in any of
our forty-eight states will be in ac-
tive demand. They have the skill to
make two or more blades Of grass
grow where but one grows now, and
that means nothing less than a doub-
ling of production. What the Belgians
and French accomplish in gardening
.he Danes are doing in dairying and
choice pork growing. Fortunately,
he war has not drawn them into its
horrible vortex.

1t is quite evident that Governor
Withycombe erred in appointing Col
B. X. Lawson agent for the state in
the alleged trouble among the fisher
men at the mouth of Rogue river, for

there has been no violation of the law
