The question of a national flower Is a sort of hardy perennial that no chilly winds can ktll. Very recently the Illinois State Federation of Wo man's Clubs discussed the matter and golden rod, mountain laurel and other flowers had their enthusiastic champ- Ions, but red clover pained the day. Still It is not likely that any flower will gain' universal acceptance URGES U. S.

Sentiment on a broad or na tional scale seems to be necessary for the adoption of a national flower. It is this sentiment growing out of old time association that makes the rose, shamrock and thistle so dear to the people of England, Ireland and Scot land. But we have In America no hoary past or fanciful traditions to evoke such a sentiment, and a made to order flower will not do. PERILS OF AUTHORSHIP. Some of Woodrow Wilson's Demo cratic rivals for the presidential can didacy are glad that he wrote a book, because "that book Is getting him into trouble In the South. In one passage In It, In speaking of the fight at Hamp ton Roads in 1SC2 between the Moni tor and the Merrlmac, which was call ed the Virginia by the Confederation at that time. Wilson's book said: "On the 9th of March these two novel craft made trial of each other, and the Virginia was worsted." This ex pression, which has apparently Jusi come to light, has called out an In dignant protest from a resident ot Portsmouth, "Va., who says he saw the encounter, who denies that the Virginia was beaten, and who adds: 'If this is the way a Virginia-born his torian writes her history, may the Lord deliver us from another such. Technically, Historian Wilson was wrong, but morally he was right Foiled by the Monitor In her purpose to sink the wooden frigate Minnesota, then aground, and halted in her ca- reer of destruction by the Monitor, the Virginia retreated back to Norfolk, ' and when that place was abandoned by the Confederates they blew her up. But the Virginia saw that the Moni tor was more than a match for her, and she did not renew the conflict The shipping in Hampton Roads were safe from attack by the transformed Merrlmac from the advent of Erics son's "cheese box on a craft," and His torian Wilson has truth on his side in saying that the Virginian was "worsted," despite the quibble that is raised against him. But Candidate Wilson is not in a position to ' defend himself. Many Southern newspapers condemn him for these words. Referring to the Portsmouth man who attacked Wil son, the Richmond Times-Dispatch says that that particular person "de serves the thanks, of all trie old sor diers of the Confederacy and all the people of the South for his many de fense of the truth of history." And poor Wilson is unable to say a word hi his own justification, and nobody else seems to be going to his defense. If the Democratic National Conven tion were held today this unfortu nate expression would probably turn dozens or scores of Southern dele gates from him. On such a point the South is sensitive, and nothing which Wilson could Bay would diminish its wrath. Perhaps the noise on this de tail may die out before delegates be gin to be elected. There is a possi bility, however, that somewhere else in his account of the Civil War the South may discover some other re mark which may assail its pride. Let a town or a home be without a newspaper and ignorance and nar row nes at once assert themselves. It rownegs once assert themselves. It Is when by some mischance people are paper that they realize the loss they sustain.. The home paper is the eyes, ears and mouth ot the community to learn .the news and disseminate It among the people. It may not always be faultless, but there Is no other medium that can take its place, and there Is no other single factor that does so much for the material and so cial welfare of the town. And In the realm of religion and morals the in fluence of the newspaper is almost invariably for the right Now is the time when thousands of foreign residents who have saved and accumulated considerable money dur ing their life here go back to their native lands to spend the holidays, and no one grudges them that relaxa tion. But when people come to this country Just to make all they can out of It, decline to assume citizenship, and, after they have made what to them seems wealth, go back to their old home to live on 'what they have gained, one may recognize their shrewdness but be also recognizes that they are ot no benefit to this land. Many business men who never ad vertise regularly do so during the holi day season. That in itself is a recog nition of the value of advertising, but its value would be still further re alized with great gain to themselves if they would not confine themselves to special seasons. Such seasons may demand special and larger advertis ing, but the up-to-date business man advertises continually. HAWLEYPROMISES TO WORKFORCITY , (Continued from page 1) FOR SETTLING LABOR TROUBLES In Great Britain where the labor problem of late has been unusually trying there is a casting about for some effective method of preventing and settling disputes between em ployers and men. Much hope is expressed that the Industrial Council recently organized by the government may bring about greatly Improved relations. The coun cil consists of twenty-six members, be sides the chairman who is the Comptroller-General of the Labor Depart' ment of the Board of Trade. Of the twenty-six members one-half are chosen by the employers and one-half by the wage-earners, and the men se lected by both parties rank high for their personal worth and qualifica tions. While the Council has no compul sory power its moral influence will be great, as It is empowered, on request, to take suitable action in disputes affecting the principal trades of the country which the parties themselves are unable to settle. It is to be hoped that the council may realize the ex- merclal Club. Mr. Hawley was taken on board the Lang and shown the proposed locations for the new free locks. He was visibly impressed with the magnitude of Oregon City's in dustrial concerns and fired a volley of questions at T. W. Sullivan, hy draulic engineer of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company to ascertain Just how the prospective development of the water power would be retarded by the construe tion of locks on the East Side of the river. . The steamer went up into the East Side basin and then crossed the river and passed through the old locks, and the crowd gave a cheer to Jack Cham bers, the lock-tender who has been in charge for forty-one years and who worked on the construction. Examines Postoffice. In looking over the local postoffice Mr. Hawley said he could see the great need of adequate quarters, but he was not In a position to state definitely If a building appropriation bill would be enacted at the coming session of Congress. He mentioned the economy platform of the Demo cratic House in this connection, but said tbtat he would personally use his efforts to secure an appropriation for the purchase of a site and the erec tion of a public building at Oregon City. Postmaster Randall discussed with Mr. Hawley the possible sites and their conversation brought out the statement that the Government believes Main street property In Ore gon City Is valued at a very high figure and it was suggested that a desirable site might be obtained on Water street within easy reach of the railroad station. This is a matter that will be put up to the Postoffice Department, for within a limited dis tance from the stion the railroad company will call for and deliver mails without co?t to the Postoffice Dpnartrrifnt. (Continued from page 1) In a recent magaxine we find the following: "The civic bodies through, out Alaska are making an united ef fort to secure larger appropriations from the national government for road work." If In Alaska why not here lu Ore gon T Oregon and other states like her need good roads. She is not able, without United States government aid, to build them as rapidly as needed. The United States has a constitu tional right to aid the building of them. It Is right and fulr, especially to the farmers, that It should give such aid, and It Is practicable. A Ion argument could be made to show and many Illustrations could be made, but surely every man must see It We have a few good roads and tho highway ' tax will get more, but not enough. More than nine-tenths of the com merce of tho state Is first carried over the roads that we have, at an immense loss of time and money to the farmer. The ability to travel quickly and easily Is due the farmer as much as It Is the shipowner and the mcr-J chant that the government deepens the rivers, blasts out Immense rocks and builds breakwaters for. The state can not build these roads as It would bankrupt her. Some of the counties are trying It but they are piling up debts upon which Inter est must be paid yearly and the prin clpol has to be met some day. The great majority of the counties are too poor to raise the money. Little by little something may be done by taxation and the use of the convicts, but scores of years must pass before anything substantial can be accomplished. If federal aid to the extent of one- half could be secured the work could be done twice as fast And why not? ' Jefferson, Clay, Calhoun and others advocated the building of roads by the United States Government They knew and declared that the government has the constitutional right to do so. , Almost all wealth comes originally from the soil and the farmer of all others digs it out and distributes it among mankind. Bad roads take from him a large proportion of his reward. The farmer produces billions of pro- duce.yet the United States government is making no direct appropriation for the benefit of these men in the trans portation of their products. It has given millions of acres of land to railroads, that sell these lands at any price they wish. 'Appropriates other millions for the construction in towns and cities of Post Offices and Custom Houses and hundreds of millions of dolllars for rivers and harbors. Why. therefore, should there not be a iarge aid given to the men who are not in the towns, the men in the woods, who first trans formed natures gifts Into wealth and wno first began the transportation of It to the million of consumers whose very existence depends upon It. The obtaining of Government aid to begin may be a slow process, but when the government knows the farm er, understands bis rights, and that the farmer will have them, the aid will come j With proper concerted efforts upon the part of the farmers and those vitally Interested In good roads, the urgent representations to our sena tors, and congressmen, we see no rea son why this aid should not be ac complisned.

U'REN LEADER OF BIG MEETING Oregon Man Says Land Assessment Scheme Would Save Workers $80,000 Yearly In This County. E COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 23.-Spo-kane, Wash., .was chosen for the next annual meeting of the National Grange, following a contest between the regular and insurgent factions, Opposition was inspired by the fact that the Washington State Grange has been largely controlled by insur gents and because J. C. Kegley, Washington state master, leader of the insurgent faction In the National Grange, extended the invitation to the National body today. In a statement Oliver Wilson, of Illinois, National master-elect, said: "I do not know that there exists a Jones-Bachelder ring dominating the affairs of the National Grange. If there is such ' faction I am not a member of it, nor have I been ad vised of any of its policies or meth ods. My first association with the so called insurgency came when it met with members of this faction for the purpose announced before I accepted their Invitation, to ascertain their mo tives and desires, In the hope of bringing about complete harmony the organization." in A Choice oi Investments THERE ARE TWO WAYS to invest one's sav . ings; either in enterprises promising very large re turns, and not bearing the closest investigation, or in the good old-fashioned savings bank way, wherein a vastly greater number of people have paved the way to real success.

The United States was enlisted today, through plans formulated In Chicago, to help finance a fight to the finish for Im mediate adoption of the single-tax In Missouri and Oregon. The government Printer will be re quired to include In the record of the coming session of Congress four pamphlets urging adoption of the sin gle tax. Their titles will be: "Poll Taxes a Relic of Barbarism," "Per sonal Property Taxes Impractical and Unjust" "Merchants' and Manufac turers' and "The Effect of Just Tax ation Upon the Working People." And theBe discourses, of which Henry George, Jr., Representative from New York, Is to be the author, will be handed over to the Govern ment by the ton for free transporta tion to the doors of tbe men who are to vote on the question. The one desire of the slngle-taxers is votes. W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon, father of the Initiative, referendum and recall and "arch-progressive" of all those advocating greater control of tho Government by the people, told his tax-reform hearers today. They must keep their feet on the ground and argue on a practical basis of act ual results, be declared. He declares that if the proposed single-tax law bad been operative this year In Clack amas county, Oregon, the household ers, ordinary business men and work ing people of the community, compris ing more than three-fourths of the citizens, would have had their taxes reduced by $80,000, while the public service corporations and men holding land for speculative purposes would have had to pay $90,000 more.

In accordance with ecclesiastical law, a public consistory must be held three day after the private gntherlng when the new cardlnuls, with the exception of those from Spain and Austria, will receive their red hats. The Spanish and Austrlnn prelates, as Is provided. In the concordat with those countries, must receive the bl retta first from the hands of their temporal sovereigns.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, the labor leaders, must again stand trial In tbe Supreme Court of the District of Columbia on charges of contempt arising ou of tbe Bucks' Stove & Range case. Justice Wright handed down a de cision today overruling the motion of the labor leaders for a dismissal of the proceedings under the statute of limitations. The court held that contempt of court is not claused as criminal, and consequently not subject to the bar of the statute of limitations. COUNTY TO SELL REAL ESTATE FOR TAXES Sheriff Mass Friday sold to the county all real estate on which taxes are due for 190G and 1907. This ac tion was necessary In order that fore closure suits could be prosecuted. Tbe foreclosures will eb made at once. Deputy Sheriff Staats announced that S1.C31.1S was due for taxes In 1307 and only $30 for 1906. It Is thought that the announcement of tbe Intend ed legal action will cause many per sons who are in arrears to pay. BATTLESHIP OREGON MAY BE SENT TO CHINA WASHINGTON.
