On Friday of last week several large

on her front porch and during the noon
tine some good and true friend or
friends of the defeated candidates delib-

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE WRONG

There seems to be considerable meat in Englands con-
tention that her backistng of certain firms is matter
Of her business entirely. Lord Gray sets up this
Defense and is certainly worth considering before
condemnng England for her He points out that
bhe blacklist is simply order forbidding English sub
ectstrading with certain persons whom the government
names and whom it considers practically enemies,
and that4to trade with them is ying comfort and aid
the enemy" He also suggests that if England cannot
control helewn subjects mo- else can and that it
would certainly be preposterous for the United States
to hold shecould control them and dictate with whom
they should or should not trades In other words the
United States in doing would be acting just it OBJ
ects to England doing debating with whom English SUBJ
jects should trade while denying England the au
thorty over her own subjects.
We do not want to overlook the fact that other
tries be right occasionally and this great and glorious
wealth frequently wrong. According to the law
of general averages we have right to be wrong half the
time and it is fair to presume that the hustng American
will keep up his average on any old thing.

PROHIBITION MAY BE NEXT ISSUE"

B1yan the silver tongued says he will devote his en-
tire energies to making the democratic party the cham
pion of prohibition He has done splendid work for that
cause and his efforts have borne fruit However he has
undertaken big contract though no bigger than ne
would have on his hands if he undertook to reform the
republican party in this respect One thing against this
reformation is the vote Of New York which would go
against any party advocating prohibition, and this has
heretofore been great factor in preventing either party
adopting prohibition plank Now that the New ork
bugaboo has been shown to be such and that the country
can elect president without its aid the matter should
be easier of accomplishment. Bryan remarked few
davs ago that he would undertake this work because the
democratic party was too good one ito fill dunkards
praven Whether he succeeds not it is certain that 1t
will he bt few wears until the United States is as dry
as Oregon will be after Governor Withycombe takes a
whack at the proclamation business and puts the bone
dry" law into effect
1t is safe bet that if the democrats do not climb onto
the water wagon in the next few years that the repub-
cans will and with the sentiment growing rapidly in favor
of pohibon it will win In fact this is about the only
issue left on which that party come back The tariff
on which it relied is dead last years BIRDS nest
so far as being political issue is concerned for before
another presidential campaign on, the Tariff Comms-
sion appointed to frame tariff business principles in
stead of predatory DESIRES will have finished Its work.
and it's ideas will perforee be given trial at least before
any changes will be considered.
1t will not be at all surprising if one or the other Old
partes comes out straight for prohibition at the next
election.

1t is stated that Villa has decided to brand all Car
rama soldiers captured by him with the letters v C.
which the initials of the de faco presidents name,
Venustano Carranza. Refugees say the bandit leader
ordered them branded traitors because they did not
drive the Americans from Mexico. The most interesting
part of the story not told for it is not stated whether
the branding is to be done before after the Carranza
soldiers stood up with their backs to the wall and
shot In other words whether they to be branded
before after death So far Villa has slaughtered all
the Caranza soldiers caught by him and his new order
will have but little effect except perhaps to make the Car
troops quicker faster and farther than here
tofore, and they will have to hurry to do any of these
things.

Astorian: R. Lyon the sand hill
cranberry rancher was in town today
delivering a portion of his 1916 crop,
which according to his estimate was
only about 25 per cent of what il
should have been. Mr.. Lyons har-
vested 100 bushels and although the
yield was light, the quality was superb.
Mr.. Lyons raises a number of varieties,
but those brought in today were
Michigan Prolific and Searles Jumbo.
Both kinds are large and the berries
are fine keepers. Mr.. Lyons declared
the cranberry business is not fully
known here vet and there are many
things which affect production. He
believes his shortage this year was
caused by keeping the vines covered
with water too long and also on ac-
count of frost after the vines were
in blossom. Mr.. Lyons finds that fer
tilizing cranberry patch increases the
Weld very materially and he plans on
fertilizing every year hereafter. He
has five acres all of which will be in
bearing next fall.
