The possibilities Of securing ad-

The wage Garner who sub

If every home in Pendleton
had a bond or more than one
the city would become richer,
not poorer, because of the pro-

Patriotism and self interest
in this case go hand in hand.

THE WET SNOOT is PASS
ING

IA ROHIBITORY laws are
ID not the only sign of a
growing tendency to
temperance and remuneration
of the drink habit, remarks the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In
the states not as yet affected by
prohibitory law the number of
saloons is constantly decreas-
ing. The old habit of indul-
gence in Intoxicating liquors is
passing, accentuated, first, by
the fact that it interferes with
business; again, because it i'm
pairs the physical strength and
mental capabilities of the user,
and finally, because of the eff
feet upon the moral condition
of humanity.
Drinking was a general dl-
version in the old days, when
life was a comparatively simple
proposition. Life now is too
complicated and too serious
business, and the competition
of the mass too exacting, to
take on the handicap of a be-
fuddled mind. 1t is the cool,
sober, trained mind that best
succeeds in this world of eff
fort.
War also has accentuated
the need of sound minds and
strong bodies. The training of
our army, now in the making,
has had an influence upon the
whole people. We are taking
care of the bodies that nature
endowed US with, and we are
appreciating more keenly the
advantages of health and
strength in every avenue OF
human effort.
Saloon license renewals on
October / indicate the retire
ment Of many saloons from
business. In New York the city
lost 600 saloons in the first
week Of October. Higher ex-
else tax and a 5 per cent surtax
on gross sales had something
to do with saloon discourage
ment, as well as the larger re-
venue tax on liquor in bond,
but beyond this was the shrink
age of the patronage of the
public, indicating a wholesome
progress toward more abstem-
ious living; and what has be-
come apparent in New York
has also become apparent in
every large city.

RIFLES FOR OUR SOL
DIERS

A INDING that some of the
national army canton
ments are not fully sup
piled with rifles for the draft
ed men Col. Roosevelt has been
doing considerable criticising.
However, the situation does not
seem as bad as the colonel
would have us believe, if we
may rely upon Secretary of
War Baker:
Let me say to you," he told
an audience at Harrisburg the
other day, that when our
army takes its place abroad it
will be armed as well as any
and better than most" For
every soldier abroad now, he
said, there were five rifles in
France, and every regular and
national militiaman at home
has a rifle, while the stream of
rifles, now 100000 month,
will soon be 100000.
At that rate every soldier in
the cantonments will have his
rifle long before spring. There
will be time to make him fair
ly proficient ere he goes to
France to get his further train
ing. There is no cause for pes
simism in regard to this mat
ter.

those who have the most property should pay the most taxes. I do not believe in class legislation ! am no more in favor of having any one class of our people fight this battle for liberty than ] am in favor of fighting alone the battle for all the people. Liberty is just as es- senttal to every man. woman and child in America, whether they own property or not. The reason that property ought to bear a larger share is that the stake of property is greater. The poor man has only his life and liberty to fight for, but the rich man has his property as well as his life and liberty to fight for We have got to stand for the reasonable sacrifices of property that must he made just as We have got to stand for the sacrifices of our gallant sons that must be made in order 10 carry this war to a right con- cusion.
 If this war continues for another 12 months it is probable that the total amount of financing that the government

It is. of course, essential that there shall be a large and healthfuI expansion of credit during the period of the war That will come about inevitably from the great financial operations of the govern ment and the enlarged business of the country But we must not make the grave mistake of imposing too little tax alton at the outset through timidity or hesitation. or in deference to the unrea- sonable and selfish complaints of those who, in the long run. will profit most by the enhanced prosperity of the country.
