POLLUTION OF STREAMS
 WILL BE PROSECUTED

THE DALLES, Ore, Aug. 26.-In order to stop pollution of drinking water and prevent disease here, the state board of health has issued a drastic order that the city's water shed must be kept free from cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine or other grazing animals; that persons must not trespass within it's boundaries, and that fishermen must cease whipping Dog river and Mill creek, trout streams running through the land furnishing the city's water supply.
 The order was necessary because pollution has come through persons and animals using the watershed for fishing and feeding grounds. Viola tion of the order will bring immediate arrest and punishment.

CITIZENSHIP IMPLIES
 LOVE OF COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-(Special espondence) Speaking as a member of the committee on immi- grafton and naturalization in the house of representatives Representa- tive Isaac Siegel, of New York, says that United States typifies love of country citizenship implies desire and will and obligation to give all you possess in behalf of the coun- try in which you live. As far as the immigration committee is concerned, it is determined upon one thing that in the United States there is not going to be room for a living creature, no matter how small he can, America 24 hours a day. It is only in the last two years that the immi- grafton law really provides for illit- eracy test and examination both physically and mentally. It gave the government all the power it could ask for to effect the deportation of un- desirables. The astonishing feature of our investigation has been that we find that the man who cannot read English or any language in fact, is the very man who is willing to listen to people who have no love for Amer ica.''

women in the country were urged to be equally patriotic. The dread of losing votes was so great that wom. en at jink teas, at card parties, at luncheons and dances were urged to say something, to talk as if they were as resolute as the Bostonians who would not drink tea. Little may be heard of these pledges now, but for time they were covered by many headline
 When the war came it cut off Europeans tours and money had to be spent here. It kept Europeans here from sending money home, and they saved or spent their earnings on this side of, the water. German imports shrank almost to a vanishing point, and British imports were greatly re- duced. Then we heard the boast that the tariff had not shortened the pay rolls and heightened the bread lines. No law, good or bad, will be very effective if circumstances pre- vent it from working. But no cam paign speaker ventured to ask votes on the ground that he wished to in- crease importations. The traiff of 1913 did not and could not do us much harm during the war because compe- tition shrank to a minimum.
 Yet how the Democrats feared the tariff! What a ghost it Was!i How impressively we were told that there would be anti-dumping laws to keep cheap labor products out of our ports. The government would find out how brought here, and if there was an at tempt to sell articles below cost, the president or the cabinet, or somebody would prevent such Wickedness. All this sounded well, but nobody be- lieved it. The government could hardly ascertain the cost of produc- tion in a European or Asiatic town. Perhaps the foreign manufacturer would not understand English Per haps he would be averse to publish ing his trade secrets Perhaps if he made out an itemized statement the mail service would be tardy. How little we now hear of the anti-dump- ing. It is as dead as MT. Redfield's plan of feeding the seacoast popula- tion on mussels and dog fish.
 We have not space for the reports of the tariff commission which prac- tically concede the entire argument for protection. Nor is it possible here to review the attempt to slaugh- ter the Louisiana sugar industry, and the sullen yielding when it became evident that the plan would not work. Where is the Democrat who ventures to blame President Wilson for saying that we must protect the chemical in- dustries newly called into being?
 Throughout it's history the Republi- can party has contended that protec- tion is necessary to shield old indus tries and to start new ones. Have not it's opponents been forced to ad- init that fact?

CONCESSIONS ALREADY WON
 FROM FREE TRADERS

Eight years ago the Democratic party made a Haunting declaration that protection was unconstitutional. It mattered not that Jefferson, Madi son, Monroe and Jackson had stated the direct reverse; that Polk had ad- mitte the justice of Incidental pro- tection;" that Buchanan had voted for one protective tariff, and signed an other. The convention was reckless. Republican division foretold an easy victory. It was safe to talk nonsense and the platform was so nonsensical that the New York World presented the constitutional argument for pro- lection in it's editorial columns. No one has, so far as we know, denied the oft repeated assertion that Wood row Wilson long ago stated that whether one liked or disliked pro- yond dispute. The Democrats were sure to win in 1912, and if they put an absurd plank in their platform that was no new experience.
 Buy once in power they had their troubles. They had the votes, they could and did put through a tariff bill designed ''to increase importat1ons; :" still the Democratic vote might de- crease. Hence there was a note of warning that nobody must dare to shut down his plant, to reduce out put, or to lower wages. The tariff of 1913 was declared to be good one, and manufactures were forbidden to act otherwise. However, one of the first to reduce his working force was Eugene M. FOss whom the Democ- rats had elected governor of Mass achusetts. Day by day passed over his head. No federal officials hand cuffed him or threw him into a dun geon, or hanged him on Hannan's gal lows,-in fact the threats were at a discount. We had a reduction of manufacturing activity and an in- crease of unemployed so marked that President Wilson ceased to threaten, and mildly remarked that it was a psychological conition All talk of con spiracy stopped. The Democrats con- ceded that industrial troubles had followed the tariff of 1913 though they denied that it had caused them.
 Timidly and foolishly some of them made statements about the snuperior- ity of the west to the east. What were the facts? A European who sent goods to our seaboard could un- dersell a producer within five miles of the port, but if he tried to open market thousand miles to the west the railroad freights helped to pro- tect the American industry. Of course the interior felt the impact less than the seacoast. Here again was a reluctant concession.
 Next came a proclamation. The wives and daughters of Democratic congressman would never, no never, wear any dress goods that were not American. We had solemn assur ance to this effect, and all of the

The Woman Voter Speaks

Always before asked you what you thought
And shaped my thought by yours-the way cut
NV garments by pattern: "He says this,'
Or "He says that" I'd quote, with wifely pride
Almost smile at the absurdlty
Of setting up my thought against your own
You whose APPROVAL gave my heart content
Whether it was for hat, or dress, or shoes,
Or for the dish you thought seasoned well,
And yet-do you Observation-Disclosures cares,
Bedtime and prayers and food, you left to me,
$50 to your mother, children" you would say;
"She knows what is best for you to dol!
How did Know?
And how, again today,
When the sad world is crying at my door
For food and clothing, and maternal care,
How know l what is right for me to do
Or how to use the power so strangely given!
l grope, and grope, and try to feel my way
And vet as birds are guided through the air
This migrant autumn, so | seem to see
Light-a Light like that which guided once
The shepherds to the Babe of Bethlehem
| cannot argue-I only feel!
I find no answer for your clever WORDS:
It NAV be in the centuries to come,
When have grown as wise as you are now,
l. too shall smile, at a tWcetold tale,
When poets yearn for universal peace,
But yet know not! Let me dream my oreani-
Maternity is going to the polls!
