Inc CONTRACT was blBneu Dy
Judge w. M. Bushey and Com
missioner j. G. Hunt for the
county court, and by w, J. Her
wig. superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon league, for the league. Up
to this morning it had not been
filed with the court records and
reposed in a pigeon hole In the
county court offices until a de-
mand that it be made public was
made by The Capital Journal.
Under the terms of the contract
either the county court or the
league could terminate the con-
tract by submitting written no.
tice to the other party.
Contract Cancelled
Last Monday John Carson, dis
trict attorney, advised the county
court to cancel the contract, but
the required written notice of can
collation. was not forwarded by the
court until this morning, and the
contract stands until the notice is
received by the league officials.
That at least one provision of
the contract has been violated by
the Anti-Saloon League agents is
indicated in the assertions of reg
ular county peace officers that
they were never asked to and did
not cooperate with the Anti-Sa-
loon League officers. The con-
tract provided for the co-ordina-
tion of work on the part of the
league officers with county Of
ficers.
County Officers Ignored
Sheriff D. ID. Bower stated to-
day that his first official knowl-
edge OF leagues activities in the
county came Thursday morning
when league officers turned two
men captured in a raid over to him
to be placed In jail.
Walter DeLong, constable of
the Salem district. says that he
was never officially informed Of
the activities Of the league Of,
ficers.
The contract was instigated by
Mr.. Herwig, and presented to the
county court for its action follow
ing a meeting Of a small group Of
Salem residents pledged to stricter
law enforcement In the county.
County Court Silent
Neither Judge Bushey, nor Com
Hunt had any state
ment to make today regarding the
contract. Judge Bushey at first
refused to produce the contract
for inspection. saying that it was
not a matter Of public record until
It had been formally filed in the
record Of the courts proceedings.
He said that the contract had not
been formally filed because such
action would Tip off" the activ-
tiles Of the authorities aud handi-
cap the district attorney in the
- tDo[~uAAoB VI eases.
The contract was made accessi-
Bile BY Judge Bushey upon the
advice Of Mr.. Carson.

LIVING CONDITIONS IN
CHITA ARE FAR FROM


CH1TA. Aug. s.-Living condi-
lions in Chita as observed by one
who accompanied the Crane party
thus far on tho journey TO America
via Russia. are far from being as
desperate as might be imagined
from the reports OF political upheav-
ais continually coming out of ST.
IBERIA. There is no scarcity OF food
and almost all OF the commodities
of personal and household consump-
ton a be found in the bazaar and
market. at prices lower than those
prevailing in Hardin and Picking.
The public gardens are patronized
by reasonably well dressed crowds.
In the city garden two ~orchestras
play and there are frequent yaude-
vile performances. Many OF the
bourgeois families have been re-
duced to poverty. and there is a
lack of ready funds in many quar-
tiers. but the people show little sign
of real suffering.
At Chita there is perfect order
and no evidence OF popular discon-
tent.
The Far Eastern republic is or
ganized along lines entirely differ
emit from those which prevail in So
Wet Russia. Private property is
recs ynized except that land is the
property of the state.

APPEALING no THE SOURCE.

The state treasurer of Colorado mas the right idea,
whether or not he can, SO to speak, cash in on it.
Colorado has two million in highway bonds she de-
sires TO market and the marketing at the present time
is not exactly good. Like many other states Colorado
is keen to build new and improve old roads and is
constantly being pounded on the back by the people
to provide roads in place of trails, to enable tourists
from abroad, as well as the folks at home, to get
about among the scenery and attractive spots with
which the Centennial state abounds.
The state treasurer being a gentleman of origin
atty, surveying the field, after receiving no bids for
lis state bonds from baokers and investors, appealed
to Messrs. John d. Rockefeller and Henry Ford, to
absorb between them the two million, required by the
state to proceed with her road program. The treas
urer's theory, as explained to these gentlemen, being
that good roads will increase the demand for Mr.
Fords fivvers and the increased use of these will by
the same token augment the sale and use of Mr..
Rocekefellers superior petroleum products. The state
treasurer of Colorado does not employ it as an argu-
ment, but it is, nevertheless, a good one, that the in
creased use of gasoline, oil and other by-productsI
within the sales zone of Wyoming refneries, will re-
duce the stored and constantly increasing stocks and
enable rehneries to proceed with engagements, mean-
Ing a greater use of crude product, employment Of
greater prosperity for the people of two states, and
troleum.
The matter of retarding their own good fortune
and that Of others has been placed before Messrs.
Rockefeller and Ford; but it is yet too early to re-
port the result. Dr.
1t is not believed thft a million apiece from the
Rockefeller and Ford private Golfers would endanger
the solvency of either gentleman and in case ready
money was desired, Colorado state bonds would not
be the worst collateral in the world.

DOING MUCH BETTER.

From a nation of liquor consumers we are passing
to a nation of coffee drinkers, under prohibition. Cof-
fee has long been the SOLDERING off beverage and any
increase in coffee consumption would Indicate that we
are SOLDERING up after our years of debauch. Hence
forward we are destined to, at least, know what we
are about, and have the aid of sobriety in the things
we undertake. If we have gone forward to the sue
cesses of the past when soaked with liquor what can
we hope to accomplish with a clear brain and the
clean feeling that goes with freedom from alcohol?
The increase in coffee drinking, since the advent of
has been 81 per cent, or 100 cupsful for
each man, woman and child in the country.
American coffee consumption for the past fiscal
year was 1,2S1,610,596 pounds, sufficient to make asa
cups for each of US. The coffee production is look
ing up for we are told that its total in the world
reached approximately 2,5oo,ooo,ooo pounds last
year.
To aid in the SOLDERING up process we also have the
benefit of the tea crop and the deyotees of that cup
that cheers Further, we have the soda fountain
products tempered to the season, cold in summer and
hot in winter. Altogether we are getting on very
comfortably without hard drink, and We are certain
ly a happier and more efficient people.

WHO GETS 1T?

For a strictly bone dry country, the importation
of Intoxicating beverages to the value of five millions
of dollars in the past fiscal year into the United States
is going some. And when you take into account the
year previous saw only wet goods 10 the value of
100000 brought in, you must either conclude that
private stock has mostly been consumed, or the curse
Of drink is picking up.
Wine was the largest item in the list of intoxicants,
amounting to more than two million gallons, as against
$4,000 gallons the previous year. Whisky came next,
for quantity-495,0 900 gallons, compared with 80 1000
gallons in 1920. Great Britain shipped US the booze,
France the champagne and Spain the odds and ends
on the wine list.
The present fiscal year is likely to see a substan-
tial increase of importations.
Mind you, these figures are strictly official and do
not take into account the very considerable amount
of hooch struggled across the border from Canada, and
shipped in through Mexico, Cuba and the West Indies.
There is no record of 'moon,' "mule," shotgun, /"
"forty rod" 'coffin varnish,' and other pet brans,
distilled, brewed, concocted and cooked up in our own
dry land of liberty, for these trade secrets are not
disclosed to the national prohibition department.
Signs, however, indicate the output to be fairly enorm-
Gus, in quantity and extremely awful in quality.
It is not believed that the people contemplate per.
hitting the country to slip back into the moisture,
but it is well occasionally to report on the exact state
of the corpse of the late Mr.. Barleycorn; and to give
warning of any likelihood of a resurrection. The gov
ernments figures would indicate a slight restlessness
on the part of the remains.

B%ERoDoLI.'s ETURN

While the American state department is maintain
ing the utmost reticence concerning the details of
provisions of the peace treaty with Germany, which
is proper and approved action, there is believed to be
provision made where that arch draft Stacker, Grover
Cleveland Bergdon, may be returned to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States to receive punishment so
richly merited.
Upon the grounds of being an escaped prisoner
and fugitive from justice which will doubtless be COW
cred in any treaty that will finally be ratified by the
American senate the United States hopes to see an
end to the Bergdoll disgrace.
Germany, it is understood, has no particular sym
pathy for Bergdon; and the time, when she would
seek to prevent this country from Furnishing her Grim
inals, having long since passed, it is assumed from her
attitude, would surrender the fugitive as soon as the
protocol is signed, waving ratification by the senate
1t is to be hoped that the war department will see
ft to appoint Carl Neat and Frank thinner agents of
this government to receive the prisoner, when. he is
turned over by Germany in the final formalities. We
are of the opinion they can be entrusted with the
duty of his safe keeping and delivery.

JUST A LITTLE TOO SWIFT.

Senator Borah is a most useful and industrious
member. He is useful in reminding the Republican
majority of the promises made to the people previous
to the last election, and industrious in seeing that they
are kept. At times, however, he is just a little too
swift for the good Of either the party or the country.
He is inclined to crowd the procession and want too
much accomplished all of a sudden. He is too impa-
tent with delays and is scarcely willing to grant
enough time to get one thing out of the way before
he shoves in something else. He is becoming FESTIVE
on the subject of free tolls for American coastwise
vessels through the Panama canal, which will involve
a considerable dispute with Great Britain and other
nations, on the eve of the assembling of disarmament
convention wher there should be as few international
controversies to compose as possible.
1t wal Senator Borah more than anyone else that
brought about the action by America in the matter of
a world congress to discuss the question of disarma-
ment and he should be patient until the discussion
has been had. There is time to bring the tolls mat
ter forward later, who knows that this very tolls mat
ter will not figure in the disarmament adjustment, if
it is determined at all; AMI it might be advantageous
to us to recede from the position we now hold in the
matter.
Senator Borah ought to know that the senate can
not have too many irons in the fire at once. Some
Of them are likely to cool of.

RAIL PAYMEN

Grafton for '1nefhciency of
Labor During Guar
antee Period.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-Cost OF
labor allowances TO railroads for the
six months guarantee period follow
ing government control will include
only increased wages and not alleged
'in~efficiency OF labor factors under
a decision handed down blythe inter
state commerce commission.
The ruin. involves the basis OF
claims by the railroads against the
government for labor costs in opera
ton and maintenance.
The commission held that the reduc-
ton in wages were not justified un-
less they resulted in a corresponding
reduction in tho costs To 1to cor.
sumner.
Tho petition was filed July IL. by
the restaurant association with Cooks
union No. is and Walters union No.
IL as defendants. A reduction of
10 per cen for cooks and 20 per cent
for walters and Mattresses was asked.
In denying the petition OF the en-
ployers. the commission said in part.
THE commission feels hat all
wages and prices should return to
as nea normal as possible at the earl
lest possible time. but that the grant
nlS OF tne uen1anus OF the employers
herein would not result in a reduc-
ton of prices TO h consumer and
therefore they should not b. granted
at this time.
The employer admitted that a re.
duction of h wages of their en-
ployes would not result In n rcduc.
ton in prices to the consumer. and
stated that there probably would be
al Increase in the prices of food
served in their respective places OF
business"
During the hearing the employees
testified that the restaurants OF the
city have been operating at a loss
because Of reductions in prices made
necessity by competition and in
creased operating expenses.
Prior to the hearing the employers
assertion had agreed to abide by the
decision of the commission.

lust SIGN YOUR NAME.

We have received a Communication from someone
signed "Bootiegger." 1t is a rather able article from
that standpoint. The article cannot be published for
the reason, the author omitted to sign his name to
his work. The Tribune will not publish anonymous
articles upon any subject; and while we are pleased
to receive discussions of interest to the public, we
must know the authors identity, whether his name is
to be used or not This requirement has been stated
so often that it is strange that anyone should be I'M
informed in the matter this day. A publisher holds
a responsible position to his readers and the public
generally and when he opens up the columns of his
newspaper to anonymous communications there is no
knowing where it will lead or when it will cease.
We want the people to write upon all subjects that
interest them. We want to be the means of passing
on anything that will be of benefit, but we decline to
stand sponsor for matter a writer disowns by failure
to acknowledge its authorship.

WANTS TO JOIN A

Charles Hapsburg, former emperor of Austria and
king of Hungary, at present without a job; is prepar-
ing for another move to regain the throne of Hun
gary. This time he will not stage a coup d'etat with
military and an arousing Of the royalist sentiment
still strong among the people. He will employ an en-
tirely different means to attain his object. His plans
which have become known in France and England,
where his agents have been at work for some time,
are to get Hungary into the league of nations through
the good offices Of the countries named. Once safe
ly in the league, then the cry of self determination
leia. If the allied sanction is secured other opposi-
ton is expected to fade. The hope of favorable
league action is strong.
If Europe can afford to see the former king re-
stored, we don't know as the rest of the world need
care much one way or another. His neighbors over
there will have to live with him.
The real fun in the situation will come when Hun
gary tries to break into the league and leave Ger
many out in the cold. 1t is even thought that Ger
many has some such plan on her own account, at least
among the old military group.

BUSINESS MAN MUST pERk UP.

In a day when there is such demand for informa-
ton upon every conceivable topic and when the news
paper and the platform both invite a response to the
demand, the business man, the manufacturer, the
banker and all the others possessing first hand infor-
nation had better show wisdom and polish up their
written and spoken English and cultivate the arts of
public speaking or they will be distanced by those
who have only half knowledge or none at all of the
things the public desires to know and ought to know.
There is an open season at all times for informa-
ton. Every gathering that is held must be addressed
by somebody having special knowledge of interest
in the thing that brought the audience together.
Chambers of commerce, commercial clubs, women's
clubs, churches, societies and associations without
end. all have need of speakers. Their programs are
made mp largely Of addresses, and men representing
every line of business endeavor are selected on various
of these programs to talk How do they put it over?
They do not put it over at all They possess the first
hand knowledge, but they cannot impart it-either in
teretingly or intelligently to the hearers.
The business man must brace up and brush up. He
must write for the newspapers. He must make brief
talks, plain business ones, upon the subjects he knows
better than anyone else. The writing will make him
more careful of his English and the speaking will de-
velop the graces he never knew were in him.
