I have see na letter from Henry J. Bean, of Pendleton, who Is a candidate against Wallace McCamant for the Republican nomination for Su nreme Judze. In which It Is stated that Judge Bean is an antl-assemhly candi date. If I remember correctly. Judge Bean was In Portland at the time of the Republican state assembly, and sought the Indorsement of that body for the nomination for Supreme Judge. His cards were printed and passed out to the. deleentes. and members of in I'matilla Count v delegation solicited support of his candidacy among the members of oiher delegations. Judge Bean was present anil must have been cognisant of these efforts. At the last moment, when It was learned that the name of Wallace McCamant would be presented. Judge liean withdrew from the race. Now he appears as an antl- assemhlv candidate. His withdraws from the assembly came only after he was convinced that he stood no chance of receiving the Indorsement and that Mr. MiCamant would be the assembly nominee. There can be no objection to Judge Bean's running as an antl-assemhly candidate, but his efforts to secure the Indorsement of the assembly, his sml ilen withdrawal and his present at itlnxle brand hl.n as a man of rather unstable political opinions.

WORLD ECONOMISTS MEE Man Who Lectures on New Theory of Taxation and Puta It to Teat Says It Will Still English Protection Ajtltatlon. LONDON. Sept. 3. Special.) Joseph Fels. the American soap millionaire. In fused some unexpected xest In the pro ceedings of the International Free Trade Conaress. which opened in Antwerp on Tuesday. In company with other dele gates from the United States. England Denmark. Sweden. Germany and Cel glum, he attempted to carry a resolu tion commuting the conference to a sin gle tax policy. The substanoe of this important reso lutlon Is that free trade cannot perms nently be retained as an economic policy unless the llllmilabl reservoir of land value he made avai'ablo for the suste nance of the public treasury. Not only will this single tax policy. Mr. Fels con texidH. check rising English disaffection ngulnst free trade which, he says, or Iclnnte3 In the popular mlsperception of Its silent, but Inevitable benefits, and the tendency blindly to hall a customs tariff on foreign good aa an obviously enriching source of income from with out but it will still this disaffection for ever by directing attention to a much richer and more accsssnble, source of income at home. Fsls and his colleagues are In deadly earnest about their pro posal and hope to convince the majority of the thousand delegates. All Nations Represented. The Congress Is only the second of lis kind, the first Free Trade Congress having neen held in I.ondon In IOCS. At that congress practically every nation in the world was represented, an es pecially distinguished delegation attend lug from the I'nited States. It was the largest Congress of Free Traders ever he'd and did much to strengthen and encourage the movement. This year, with tariff reduction more widely championed In America than be fore, free trade still the great issue o Britain, and Germany's recent protective schemes under the close scrutiny of the world, the Antwerp conference is sure to be productive of striking results. As before, the Congress Is held under the auspices of the famous Cobden Club, whose headquarters are in London. Lord Welby. the president of the club and a distinguished member of the London County Council, is permanent chairman and will read a paper on the movement of capital between nations. Leaders of Nations Debate. The discussion on the moral effects of free trade and protection was led by Ird Cromer, for 2b years Britain's Consul-General In Eirypt. Other d'stln gulshed delegates are: Sir Alfred Mond. M. P.: J. Murray McDonald, M. P.; Pro fessor C. F. Baxtable, of the University of Dublin: Professor Yves Guyot, of the Sorbonnc: Professor Brentano, of Munich; Dr. Mar Dromel and Dr. A llorlnga,""three of the best-known econ omists o fthe "opposition" wing In Ger many. The American delegation In cludes the well-known department store ex-magnate, Louis Ehrlch. presl dent of the American Free Trade eague. of which John De Witt War ner, of the New Tork bar. Is general secretary. The delegation Is about 100 strong and was entertained In London by the Cohden Club. " Eels. Single-Tax Evangelist. Mr. Fels is also an official delegate of the American Free Trade League. though at present residing in England. I-ast Winter he traveled widely about the I'nited States lecturing on the single tax and other reforms, drawing largely from the experience gained through his own experiments. Perhaps the most Interesting of all these experi ments is his successful London enter prise known as the vacant land cultl vatlon movement. It is a larger scheme of this character that he and his sup porters laid before the Free Trade Con gress. To them free trade is much less an issue than single tax, but they will be content to secure recognition of their Idea through the medium of a resolu tion, for they admit that the single tax ts considered by many economists to be a decidedly hasy and untried proposal.

Yosemite Falls, one of the sights of the valley, which has been dry for several weeks, because of lack of water, was restored to activity this afternoon with a sud denness that spread alurm among the guests at the hotel. Shortly before 7 o'clock, a wall of water without warning plunged over the top of the fall, a 200-foot leap. landing with a roar that could be heard for miles. At 10 o'clock tonight, the falls were running with undiminished vigor. While no definite news has been re ceived. It Is supposed that the strange phenomenon was the result of a cloud burst In the mountains. PITCHER MYSTERY DEEP MITCHELL'S 1HENT1TV HAS NOT I1EEN DETERMINED. Theory That He Is McQuilleu Sujr te.stcd by The Oregonian Is Opin- Ion of Fans in Chicago. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) The question of who Is this "mysterious" F. Mitchell, the new San Francisco twlrler. Is still unanswered. Some of the newspaper sleuth thought they' had discovered the answer today, but a wire from the Eaet has knocked the story "in the head. The latest unmasking of the un known was to the effect that he was probably Bot Mitchell, a former pitcher of the University of Mississippi, the son of a minister who objected to his play ing ball. This Boh Mitchell was of fered a job with the Cubs, but when he declined to pitch on Sundays he was turned down. Then he waa signed with the Chicago Americans and finally was turned over to Lincoln, in the Western League. The story held water until it came to the end. when Rob Mitchell was de scribed s a lefthander and small of stature, weighing about 155 pounds. The Seals' Mitchell Is a right-hander and a big man. sealing -about 185. A lat Chicago dispatch says: "It ap pears to be the consensus of opinion hereabouts that Mitchell is McQuillen. the Philadelphia National League pitcher, who is on the suspended list." So the mystery Is not yet solved. Mitchell's teammates, who have been quite talkative, have closed up and nothing can he gleaned from them. Mitchell did not even show up at the grounds today and it was given out that iie was out vfewimr the eights of San Francisco, in short;, he seems to do pretty much as he pleases.

Grands a-Pleoty Many Superb Creations Shown in "Baby Show" at Eilers Music House Few people seem to understand why a Grand is more desirable than an upright. Brief lv stated, a real Grand should have a full, round GRAND tone, a deeper, richer " singing" tone than is possible in uprights; it must have that delicate touch and that responsiveness which the artist demands. It must have that high character of construction, which, in itself, assures durability; and it must have grace, beauty and refinement of design; while the veneer, because of the large, smooth, flat surface, must be of the very finest woods that grow. Onlv a Grand piano can have these qualities. All Grands should, but unfortunately only a few makers attain any degree of success, especially in the sm tiler sie Grands. The "Baby tthow" demonstrates the vast improvements made of late in Babv Grand pianos. The products of the recognized foremost Grand Piano makers of America are in this great exhibition, side by side, ready for the critical examination and inspection of the most fastidious. The glorious Chickering, the famous Kimball, New York's favorite, the Sohmer, Decker, Hallet & Davis, the hand-made Iiazelton, and less expensive makes are all here. Here vou'll find Infant Grands that possess all the characteristics of the largest Concert Grands, onlv in a modified form also Baby Grands, Parlor Grands, Semi-Concert and Concert Grands, making the most extraordinary exhibit ever attempted anywhere. Remember, the Eilers veil-known reduced price policy applies to these master creations the same as on everything that is handled' bv the house of Eilers. Come in, critically examine and test Grands obtainable here for only $583, $856 $784. $645. etc. Convenient terms of payment can be arranged. Old instruments taken in exchange at fair cash values.

STATE LAWS PREVENT IT Status of Men Nominated for Su- i preme Court by State Republi can ConTention Valid, Says Olympia Attorney. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Sept. 14. (Special.) The plan reported today from Seattle, whereby the victorious insurgents, pur posed nominating five insurgent or pro gressive Republican nominees for the Btate Supreme Court, to contest in No vember against the five justices, renom inated some weeks ago at the Republican Btate convention, is prevented by law, according to a local attorney. The statute governing nominations by minority party conventions is found in Session Laws. 1907, page 471. and reads. In part: "Any political party which at the last preceding election casts less than 10 per cent of the votes, may nominate candidates, in the manner provided by existing laws for conventions, provided, however, that all such conventions must be held upon the same day as the pri mary elections are held." Three Weeks Are Allowed. But the Democrats may nominate can didates for the Supreme Court any time In the next three weeks. As that party cast more than a 10 per cent vote, and Is a recognized party. It was under the law. permitting a convention to be held at any time, so that the certificate of nominations reaches the Secretary of State at least 30, days before the No vember election. . Of course It is possible that the insur gents might arrange to name the Demo cratic nominee, but the names of the candidates cannot appear on the official ballot as insurgent or progressive Re publicans. Laws of 1909. as amended by the last Legislature, say: "Of cadnidates for the Supreme Bench, the names of such nom- nees shall be certified to the Secretary of State, and shall be placed on the official ballot, under the party designa tion of the party so nominating them." Status of Nominations Discussed. The status of nimlnating of the five Republican judges, Is also discussed by a local attorney. Officers of the Re publican state convention, filed these nominations weeks ago. The laws, say such nomlntatlons shall be filed not ore than SO days, nor less than 30 Jays prior to the election. That the nomination must be filed again with In the 60-days limit, Is generally agreed by attorneys. SHOII.D YOU SHOOT YOUR GHOCBRf Lexs Drastic Mmarn May Serve s Good a Purpose. Chicago Inter Ocean. Over on West Taylor street a man shot a grocer last Sunday night in a dispute over a bill. The assailant makes no attempt to deny the shooting. On reading- the account the first question that presents Itself is this: "Was not the customer a little violent In his measures? Did he not, in brief, go to an unjustifiable extreme?" We think he did. However large the bill presented, however painful the thought of paying it. however strong one's indignation at the increase cost of living, made so outrageously intel ligible in an Itemized account, it is. we are convinced, going a little too far to shoot the grocer. Some personal manifestation of dis pleasure is, no doubt, permissible. A sharp exclamation at the size of the total, a careful addition of the cost of the various Items with an Injured air, a reading of the items themselves in a suspicious and Irritating manner none of these acts could be regarded as ex treme. The customer might even go further than that. He might manifest his in dignation by a vigorous denunciation of the trusts, using language so strong and directing himself so obviously to the grocer as to leave no doubt that he desired a part of the obloquy to hit and cling to the retail trade. Again, there are possibly occasions when a customer might be excused for even committing assault upon the grocer's person. The discovery, for In stance ,that the children's teeth had been worn to the quick by sand In the sugar, or that a purchase lost a certain weight on being transported from the grocer's scales, might possibly justify quite stern reprisals. But when customers begin to shoot the grocer it Is clearly time to call a halt. All things ' should be done in moderation. Igven a grocer, no matter Mendota Coal Comes from a ledge of solid coal 10 feet in thick ness. This ledge is all coal. You won't find any slate in Mendota.

Jt is no more lesul to shoot a grocer than to shoot a law yer or a doctor, or even we say it boldly a butcher. One's feelinjr are not the test and measure of the law. What we would stress, all that wu wisli to stress here, is that In dealing with one's grocer one should not resort to extremes, such a shooting with in tent to hit. At least, not until more moderate methods have been tried. Depth In Coal Mining. Indianapolis News.
