There is man, woman or child who cannot do
something that will add to the mpressivenoss Of

On the day Of the parade city should be ablaze

made strong enough, land and sea. to protect

THAT MEXICAN MUDDLE.

q ENATOR FALL, of New Mexico has made the
~ startling announcement in the Senate that
foreign government. which he did not name, is in
negotiation with the Carranza crowd in Mexico and
declared that unless this country acted promptly it
would be compelled to abandon the Monroe Doctrine
and permit foreign power to control the destines
OF Mexico.
"If the State Department does not know this" de-
clared the Senator 't is only because it refuses to
receive information. or to heed that which is fur
nishod to it,"
The Senator expressed the conviction that not alone
the prestige Of the United states this continent
but the Panama Canal itself, is menacod by the in

The Oregon Primary
(From the New York SUM

In the Presidential election in Ore
gon in 1912. Governor Wilson re-
ceived 47,O64 votes, Colonel Roose-
welt 81 500. President Taft 34,673. and
Debs (Socialist) 13,343; total, 1S2,6SO.
At the same election an amendment
granting the suffrage to women was
adopted. In the Gubernatorial cleo
ton of 1914. with women voting,
Withycombe (Republican) had a plur-
ality of 26,443 votes over Smith (Dem-
ocraO. and for these two candidates
alone 2S4O52 votes were counted.
In the Presidential primary last
Friday Mr.. Justice Hughes was Off
cially a candidate, i'm spite Of a writ

who replied that under the law when
the name of candidate had been
placed on the ballot by petition it
could not be removed. With 80 per
cent. of the vote not returned Mr.. JUS
tice Hughes has a plurality Of about
27 600 over Senator Cummins, the to-
tails being Hughes 50,257. and Cum
Minis 23.704. The Senator's name was
officially on the ballot. and so was the
name of ex-senator Burton. of Ohio

Colonel Roosevelt. who received $500
votes in 1912. or only g,464 less than

stantly enlarging.
There are other specialties that
must be considered that are precisely
in the same situation as is copper.
and it is logical to believe the crest
has been reached, both in volume and
in value Of these.
II is general business that has not
halted in volume and values of totals.
and there is no evidence in sight that
general business of the country has
even approximated the crest of the
activities in the present era of pros
perity in the United States.
With June near at hand the
months of the year in which there is
usually a falling off in tonnages of the
transportation lines have passed, and
during every one of these usually dull
months the railways have had all the
traffic they could care for.
Within four weeks the wheat of the
Southwest will be moving to the mar
kets. and from June 10 the renewed
pressure Of freights upon the trans
portation lines will call for use of all
facilities. Wooden, cotton, silk. steel,
iron. glass. pottery, coke, machinery,
tools and chemical industries arc TO-
day running at their utmost capacity.
and yet they are now facing for the
autumn and winter trade a demand
that is unparalleled in volume and in
value. and there are months of the
greatest activities ahead Of the ma
iorty of our industries.
The recent advances in the wages
Of a majority of the largest numbers
of skilled and unskilled workers has
added scores Of millions of dollars
TO the purchasing power Of the masses
of our population. and this purchasing
power is having telling effect upon
the merchants and the storekeepers.
and is resulting in heavy orders for
new stocks from the manufacturers.
II is a year OF enormous business in
/ this republic, and every month be-
tween now and January 1, 1917, will
| find the general business exhibiting
/ larger totals in volumes and values.

presents three problems How did
the $1,000 supporters Of Colonel
Roosevelt in 1912 vote last Friday
Why was the wish of Mr.. Justice
Hughes who was a candidate against
his WIZ. as all men know. not re-
spected? How did the women vote?
The Roosevelt supporters of 1912
either remained away from the polls
Excluding the 200, some of whom may
have heen women), or they voted for
Senator Cummins. ex-senator Burton,
or even Mr.. Justice Hughes. AS TO
the second question. 50.257 voters
women as well as men (almost one
third of the State still to be heard
frOm) cast their ballots for the Su-
preme Court Justice as their choice
either because they believed he could
not refuse a nomination by the Repub-
lican party or because they regarded
him as a receptive candidate. As to
the third question, it may be con-
cluded that most of the women who
voted preferred Mr. Justice Hughes
obviously few Of the women were en-
thusiastic enough in the cause of the
Colonel to write his name in.
Perhaps the most astonishing thing
about the Oregon primary is that the
Justice should have received such
large vote when it was well known
that the Progressive leaders we're
anxious to see him run as lamely as
Senator Burton did Oregon is rather

How deeply he sympathizes with persons in dis

are delighted that Colonel Henry A. dupont senior
United States Senator from this State has announced
that he is a candidate for the Republican nomination
for that important Office which he has filled with
ability and dignity for several years They regard
his announcement being timely and redolent OF
partisan and national loyalty
In a few lines Senator DUPONT asserts his willing
ness to be a candidate his party signify its desire
that he serve in that capacity In a few other lines
he shows that he has keen appreciation of the
momenous issues at stake in the impending national
election and of the fact that the welfare Of the ma

and Republican Congress. The following are his
exact words, and who has an intelligent and

Recommendation Cor COunty Infirmar


Our visit to the County Infrmary
showed that SO far as equipment will
permit the institution is we'll kept
The beds and bedding are in very good
shape The inmates seem to be well
cared for and contented, considering
their unfortunate circumstances.
We found that there was no way of
separating tubercular inmates from
the others, and it is recommended by
us that suitable separate ward be
built and maintained in which to keep
inmates who are suffering with tuber-
culosis.
We noticed that a separate small
wooden building is maintained for a
few of the absolutely helpless inmates
who have no way of aiding themselves
or taking care of themselves. 1t now
has two inmates, and is in a positive
ly filthy condition. Owing to the con-
dition of such inmates as are kept ir
this building, and the condition of the
building, it is impossible to keep it IN
sanitary condton. For these rea.
sons we recommend that small con
crete building be erected for such pa
tients and that the old one be de
stroyed. 1t really should be burned
The proposed concrete building shoulC
be equipped with proper toilet, watel
and hose facilities.
We further recommend that three
septic tanks be built at the Infirmary
The roof of the main building shows
that there are some leaks in it. These
leaks should be repaired. The walls
and ceilings of that building are dirty

Would Have Public Offices Audited
BY special instruction of the Courl
we are required to inspect the records
of the officers who handle public funds
This we did. But as Grand Juries can.
not make the proper investigation, we
recommend that the County Court or
der the audit of all the books of the
various county officials by the proper
legal authorities.
This recommendation is hot made
because Of any discrepancies, but be-
cause this jury believes that in coun-
ty of this size there should be fre-
quent auditsof the books by compe-
tent auditors.

SOLVES THE MAIL
ORDER PROBLEM


"The only way in which the mer-
chants in country towns can hope to
compete with mail order firms and
the large department stores of the
cities is through cooperative study
of the problems of merchandising" "
said j. B. Powell, instructor in adver-
tising in the University of Missouri,
in recent speech before the Business
Mems League of Windsor, Mo.
Mr., Powell said there was no rea-
son in the world why business gem
ius could not live in a country town
and do business in country town as
well as in large city. He said that
the local merchant is on the ground
floor and that if he used the right
kind of business methods, carried de-
pendable merchandise, had the right
idea of service to his community, and
advertised in his local paper persist
emily, he had an even better chance
to succeed than the big city store
where competition is keener.

Suggests Additions to Court HOus,

Suggests Additions to Court House.
We made hurried inspection Of the
county offices and found everything
in a good condition as far as we were
able to ascertain. 1t is apparent that
the Court House is crowded and it
needs some additional rooms. The
County Treasurer, Highway Engineer
and Superintendent of Schools are
each occupying one room, which seems
inadequate to the needs Of these Off
cials and to the accommodations to
the general public. There is no room
for the Farm Agent nor for the Grand
Jury. 1t is suggested that additions
might be built with economy in the
long run to the public.
