Whn Congress adjourn the only person who mill have got the legUla tloa he aaked mill b President Taft. He failed th extra eion to pas the reciprocity bill. and he got It. He fa vored h admission of Artxon.-i only on condition that recall of the Judges vm eliminated from the constitution. He ha got that. The only other measure of any consequence m-hlch Congress pa.ed and he approved Is the campaign publicity bill. Comparatively little time wa taken up mlth theee measure. The frcat hulk of the c.MOn u occupied with the passage of tariff bllU and mith In vestigation. All these were aotind and fury. signifying nothing. The Democrat" only paed their tariff bill for the purpose of putting- the President in a unpleasant position by compelling hlrn to veto them: and they were aided by the Insurgent m-lth the same motive. The investigation mere or.iy started mlth the Intention of pnblrr for anything they could find to the discredit of the Rrpub Ilran Administration. They round noihtcg. except that the Controller Bay scandal was baetl .on rorgery committed by one of their own muck- rakers.

They mere chiefly remarkable for reveallns; the history of the organization of the 6tecl Trust and of tta acquisition of the Tennessee Coal Iron Company: also for the declaration of the steel kings In favor of Federal control of trust, and even of the!r price. They showed, what everybody knew already, that the 6usr Trust bought refineries to ki'.i competition, and recouped the cost by sustaining the price or boosting It under the shelter o,f the tariff. The Senate took step to purge Itself of corruption by beginning a real In quiry Into all the. fact of the Lorlmer bribery, and la going at the work In such a thorough manner that at la.t the mhole truth may be known and Lortmer placed where he should be. An inquiry has been Instituted into similar charges against Senator Bte phenson. of Wisconsin. Th close of the session f:.ds the President In a stronger position than ver. The measure he reoommended are law. and those he opposed are dead. He ha proved himself a posi tive force with a definite atatenman- h!p policy, while his opponent have threshed the air and played politics. ORFGOX A XI) TITC llf FAIR. What the Lents and Clark Fair did for Oregon In 105 the Panama-Pacific Exposition mil duplicate in 1116. TVhen it Is recalled that the Lewis and Clark Fair was held In Orea-on. while the Panama-Patina Fair will be held In California, this statement may be disputed, but a little consideration of the difference in circumstances wilt prove that It la Justified. The fair at Portland u held to commemorate an hiatorte event one hundred years old. m-hlch wa. of prime interest to the Pacific Vorthwest, of secondary Interest to the Nation at large, and of much less interest to the ret of th world. The Fair at Pan Franelco win be held to celebrate, an event which is actually happening at the time, and which will be of the first Interest to the whole world, for It will revolutionize th world's com mere. It will be marked by An hls torle gathering of the navies of the world, which by steaming through the Panama Canal to ran Francisco mill link the canal and the Fair Insepar ably In the minds of men. It mill draw an assemblage of representatives of th Industrie and commerce of the world, all Interested In the usa of this new muterway in marketing their product. It mill attract a vastly greate ntimbr of visitors from all part of the United State than came to Portland, and a much larger pro-" portion of them mill have their mind set on settling on the Pacific Coast than In 1905. The 11S Fair will be a much larg er than that of 105 a California la richer than Oregon, a Ean Francisco l richer thAU Portland, and as the opnlr.g of the Panama Canat excels tn worldwide importance the expedi tion of Lemis and Clark. It mill have several times aa much money Invested d mill have larger and more varied exhibits. On that score alro it will tijraw more visitor. But the lilt Fair will not be a Cal ifornia Fair: It mill be a Pacific Fair. California simply taking her natural place a leader among the three Pa cific Coast States, and San Francisco hers a th chief city of the Coast. Kach of the three slates will benefit In proportion to Its importance and the liberality and energy with which It seize the opportunity.. Th principal gainer by the digging of the Panama Canal win be the Pacific Coast, for the canal make) a short cut to this section for people m-ho are looking for new land to aetf.e and new business oppor tunities. The Pacific Coast Is th mrr.irc section: the Atlantic Coast has -arrived." Arrived at a Francisco, these people will scatter north and outh. aod Oregon will get Oregon th size of m-hlch depend on the allurements pregon offer. Of thosa who come to th Fair purely for sightseeing and pleasure, a vast ma ioritv mill travel through Oregon stonrlng bv the way. Those m ho i-ome H the Southern route over the burn- Irir MoUve d'sert wlil turn longing va to the cooler northern clime, and mUl find refreshment In th sight of nrrhard. farm, forest and- mountain In Oregon and Washington. ' Many t too. will cross the continent by the Northern routes, and see thla section on their way to the Fair. It mill not suffer by comparison In their minds with what they see farther south. When all these point are consid ered. It i no disparagement of the Lewis and Clark Fair to say that the benefit which accrued to Oregon from U will be equalled. If not ex celled, by those to be derived from the 11S Fair. It. therefore, becomes Ore gon to be moving, for the opening day la only three years from January 1 next. o jroiriAi, RECAIX roR ARJZOXA. It Is not conceivable that Arliona will refuse to eliminate the Judicial recall from its constitution, or that New Mexico mill decline to facilitate the amending of it constitution. Both will be considered minor matters when melghed against statehood. The adoption of tha resolution by Congres makes It possible for the two terri tories to become state by January t. 1911. although delay In calling the elections may postpone admission be )ond that time. It hn been pointed out that. onje In the Cnlon. Arliona may reinstate the Judicial recall If it o desire. Arliona I not likely to do o. unless it be on some less radical term than those given In the original constitution. The Judicial recall ha never been a dis tinct Issue In Arizona. In the election when delegate to the constitutional convention wer chosen, the Initia tive and referendum provided the chief Issue, and the Democrat were elected to control of the convention primarily on a direct legislation platform. The Democratic programme In the conven tion mas aftermards extended to em brace the recall and the people of Arl iona. mho strongly desired statehood and manted no delay about It. were compelled to approve the Judicial re call or reject the whole constitution. It mould have required provisions much more dangerous on their faea than the recall to have prevented the acceptance of the constitution by the voters of the territory. The evils of the wide-open, free-and-easv recall are Insidious. On It face It 1 a fair and ready safeguard against corruption In office, but Its un derlying dangers are grave and always menacing. They were o clearly and forcefully indicated by the President that Arizona mill now likely acknowl edge a debt of gratitude to him for saving it from the political turmoil and trampling of Jut1ee that might othefm-L-e have ensued. It is unfortunate that the leason ran. rot b brought home as forcefully to California as It ha to Arizona. Cali fornia, has outdone Arizona and Ore gon In the recall provision "that may h adopted in October In that state. To rid Itself of an nnaavory portion of its Judlrlarv It proposes going to the extreme length of requiring the In cumbent of omc to poll a majority of the votes In a recall election in order to retain his seat, while If hla com bined v opponent obtain a majority, the one of the latter who obtains a bare plurality Is to succeed him. Here 1 the recall with a vengeance. Unless the adoption of such an amendment I tayed by th sober thought of those who can see Into tha future a clearly as the President, California' br. In protection of the honor of th state courts, may find It expedient to expand It code of ethics. The bsr can go far toward outlawing from good associations those lawyer who mav seek to make vacanciee on the bench for themselve to occupy. TKK PART Or WISDOM. The dean of women of the Unlver slty of Washington. Mis Isabella Aus tin. 1 opposed-and for good ana sur flrlent reasons, to the scheme that th Greek-letter societies of that institu tion have attempted to develop In plac lng th sorority and fraternity homes of students In close proximity on me colles; campus. It 1s not necessary to go Into detail In this matter. Th rea son Is apparent, and the decision against the plan will be approved by all prudent patrona.of the university It 1 not a reproach to students In a co-edutatlonal school to say that, for their own good, and to further the purpose, that brings them together in classes, the young men and women should dwell not only in separata boarding place, but in different loca tlona. whether upon the college campus or elsewhere. Scandals, If only based upon the thoughtlessness of boys and girls mho are college mate, neither tha school nor the student can afford The hasty marriage aa th reault of the ex attraction which come from close and unsnpervlsed companion ship has disappointed' the hopes of many a father who waa striv ing to give his son a college education, mlth a silly or at best an immature rlrl. who pleased hi fancy, as tha least desirable result of such attrac tlon. The marriage have within I few years past turned many parent from the belief In co-education. In th case noted the university au thorities may be Justly criticised In that they waited until the fraternities had practically finished th construe tlon of their houses on forbidden ground! before the Interdiction against them wsj made known. Otherwise they are manifestly right In ruling that fraternity and sorority houses cannot be built side by side on tha col lege grounds. RisHor MALULntr A devoted dlaclpl of John Wesley and an honored and forceful expo- rent of the doctrines of the Methodist KpUcopal Church, as formulated by it founder, panod from a strenuous, militant ministry when. August 1 of the present year. Bishop Wlllard F Mallalleu died. Fllty-thre years o his long life-span were spent in the ministry of this church. Since 104 he had been on the superannuated lint, but until the last year of the seven that Intervened between his re tlrement and the time of his death Bishop Mallalleu had been in close touch with th work that had been relegated to other hands. HI con vlctlons In matters of doctrine and church polity were strong, and h had to the last the courage of these con vlctlons. Charl'-s W. Smith.

Senator Chamberlain Is unduly and unjustifiably peeved over criticism 01 his flood control bill, and entirely mistaken in hlr assumption mat m measure Is objected to by. "the Inter ests." The Chamberlain bill i auo Ject to criticism on one ground only. nd hae been criticised oniy on im one ground, namely, that It proposes to take money out or tne .National reclamation fund for the construction of dams and other morks to control floods. There has not been, and probably is not likely to be. any criticism or me main object sought to be attained by the Chamberlain bill, nnleaa It should come from those mno oeuevo nm states, and not tne reoerai govern ment, should regulate floods on streams within their own borders. But up to the present tlm this criti cism has not been heard ln any quar ter. Th Chamberlain bill ha been ob jected to. however, by those wno object to taking money away from irrigation, and expending it in nooa control, thereby Impeding the worn of reclamation, and expending it mhere it mill never return, or m-here most of It mill never return. Oregon has been complaining for several years that It has been unjustly treated In the distribution of the reclamation fund; it has contributed o that fund many millions in excess of mnai na been expended on Oregon- projects out of that fund. That this complaint 13 Jut one Is shown by the admission of President Tart ana becretsrj 01 Interior Fisher. But If, while Oregon 1 clamoring for more money for irrigation, a sen ator from Oregon proposea to take millions of dollar annually out of that fund to construct works to con trol floods. Oregon will no longer have ground foe more liberal allotments for Irrigation, but will have to stand responsible for the legislation which its Junior Senator has fathered. Senator Chamberlain s bin aumor- Izes the Secretary- of the Interior to use money out of the reclamation fund to control floods "on all streams rising In National forest or Indian reservations. Practically every nvpr in the West has its origin In a forest reserve or an Indian reservation, ana under thla bill the Secretary is per mitted, without any restraint what ever, to use the reclamation fund for flood control. He could use It all, ir he m-ere so disposed. Every dollar expended tinder such a bill for flood control would ba a dollar subtracted from th fund available for the bund ing of Government irrigation proj ects. In the state of Oregon alone it would cost many millions or aonar to control th floods on the various stream arising in in (.ikios Blue Mountains, and the Coast Range. And this money once invested i flood-control work, m-ould be tied up, for the most part, for all time to come. It wotiia nm ? into th reclamation fund., as do the monevs laid out on Irrigation project, but would, ln the main, be a dead loss to this fund. Senator Chamberlain makes tn assertion that his bill in time would return to the reclamation rund an the money used for flood control, m-lth much more added, and explains that these returns would come from the sale and. leases of pomer privileges at the dams which his Ul proposes to build. Say that tS. 000. 000 should b Invested In flood-control dams in Oregon (and this is by no means the amount that is called for by this bill). It would be many a generation hence befor the Income from power leases would mek up 15.000.000, for when th Government Undertakes to sell water-pom-r privileges. It must fix Its rat low. or It will be prohibitive, ana the water pom-era created by Govern ment dams will go -to waste. .More over, there is no very general demand for new water pomer ln Oregon today. The exlxstlng water powers In pri vate control are furnishing about as much pom-ar as the community de mands, and Increased demand will come only with Increased settlement. 'Oregon, lik many oher Western state, is overstocked with water power. Much of it probably will never he used, for there mill be no call for It. No matter how attrac tiv. water power mill not be leased from the Government so long as exist- In- oomer plants can meet the de mand. and there mill be no demand where there 1 no settlement. Water powsra must b located somem-here in the vlcinltr where the power is to be utilized. I Oregon willing to wait a century or more before its Government irrl- a-atlon projects are completed, or until anv new nroleots are taken up? Are th people on the proposed West Umatilla project willing to see the I4.000.000 necesary 1o water their lands, diverted ta construct dams ln the faatne) of the Cascade Moun tains?

The success of these meetings, in the view of the Pacific Chrlstion Advo cate, w-Ill depend largely upon ex pectancy." Thla Is theory. Their success ln the emotional sense of that word, upon which all "revivals" are fed. will depend upon the singing, ex horting and eloquence of evangelists hired for the work and with experi ence ln carrying It on. Whether CWpsy Smith, with hla gospel soloist, or Billy Sunday, or Bud Robinson, or any other noted, evangelist slmiliarly accompanied appears in his time and turn to "move the multitude," the methods employed are the same and the results are a ephemeral as these methods are fervid. "Some teachers In the pulpit could not have a revival In a thousand years." is the suggestive estimate of the Advocate. Truly. And for obvious reasons. Through a fund raised for that pur pose by hi friends and associates In th Columbia RtVer conference dis trict; a simple and suitable monument of granite has been placed to mark thr grave of Rev.

About 40.000,000 feet of so-called mahogany is con sumed every year ln the United States, while the cut of real mahogany Is only about 18.000.000 feet. The Gov ernment scientists who write about things like this say this does rot mean so much that deliberate deception la being practiced as It doe that the de mand for true mahogany greatly ex ceeds the supply. The earliest use of true mahogany as a furniture and nn- lshing wood begsn ln 1724. and tne available supply has been steadily de pleted ever since. More than 20 ma-hogany-like woods are now offered as the genuine article, and several other woods are cleverly stained to imitate mahogany. The Forest Service- has Just tssuea monograph to inform the users of cab inet woods of the distinguishing de ference between real mahogany ano the best imitation now on the margei. The trade name of this wood is "Co lombian mahogany." It la so ca.lea because it comes only from Colombia, and It Is not mahogany at all. but be longs to the monkey-pod family. cythlgareae, and Is "technically Vnown Carlniana pyrlformls. Colombian mahogany and true mahogany are bo- tanlcallv unlike as an oak ana a maple, but a superficial ..resemblance In the grain and color of their wooas nas made It possible to substitute tne Co lombian wood for the other. 1 ne Government writers suggest that since the trade name "Colombian Is a mis nomer, It might be Just fitting and fairer to the public to call the wood by Its graceful sclentlflo name, Ca rlniana. How long this wood has been usea ln the United States it is not known. It has been exported from Cartagena, Colombia, to Havre, trance, tor mo." i 1ft t-A.re and there sold in 1m- mnse cargoes as genuine manogan Practically all the "Colombian ma iiiaii " J . hoianv" now marketed is cut at poinis r- inn tn 5011 miles Inland and shipped from Cartagena.

PORTLAND. Aug. 19. (To th Ed itor.) The unwarranted antagonistic recognition that is sometimes accorded' the book agent ln the city these days reminds the writer somewhat of the limes twenty-flve years ago when a man called at a farmhouse and asked for work. The housewife, without even Scat, you," would set the dogs on him. Though only a child then, I can remember Eeelng the poor fellow take to his heels, climb the nearest tree, and then .perhaps, the bulldog m-ould ret him by the trousers leg before ho reached a plac of safety. Generally speaking, the same feeling of resent ment prevails against us today; the only difference is the absence of th dog, and the agent Is a woman. Jt is the exception rather than the rule when you give the little lady an opportunity to present her subject if you do not find her more Intelligent and refined than half, or more, of the ladles upon whom she calls.

Th mother, "sassiety favorite," puts the children Into the care or a nursemaid, sees her boy a half hour each day perhaps less and trusts to luck that he will bo wort-ny to ioiiow ln his father's footsteps and manage his wealth.

PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 19. (To the Editor.) The article in The Oregonian pertaining, to a suicide which occurred Thursday, in an East Fide drugstore, brings to mind, most forcibly the help lessness of most people in the presence of carbolic acid poisoning even a great many physicians being Ignorant of the IBCt mat tnere la certain antidote for this most dread ful Of poisons. Considering tne asser tion that more accioentai aem caused by poisonous acids than from 11 other poisonous drugs comoinen. the importance of the knowledge that there Is a speeay anuaoio .a evident. The antidote is common oraer vinegar. Carbolic acid is Known in ucunj every --usehold as a valuable anti septic, and, being sold freely, Is kept constantly at hand ln many homes often, I regret to say. upon pantry shelves and within easy reach of children. Although labeled "poison," familiarity with it has. ao to speak, "bred contempt" and made people less fearful of it. Hence the many cases of "accidental" poisoning. The virtues of cider vinegar, In the proportion of one-half cupful of vine gar diluted with an eeual amount of weLter followed In a few minutes by a second dose of the vinegar and water have been demonstrated many times as an antidote for Internal carbolic acid poisoning, even the odor and discolora tion disappearing. In cases where the vinegar is applied within a few mo ments, there will not even any scar or crusts form. This treatment, fol lowed by the use of a stomach pump and afterwards by a diet of hot milk is Invariably successful. Acetio acid too. has been repeatedly used in carbolic acid poison, its action being the same as that of the vine ear The discovery of the virtues of cider vinegar in such cases mas made by Dr. Edmund Carleton of New lork and has been used, with success in cases of both Internal and external poisoning in the latter, the rubb ng and bathing with the vinegar restoring both color and function. Alcohol and olive oil being mentioned in the account of the suicide as anti dotes employed and these having failed I submit this contribution Jn the hope that it will prove "first aid to the in Jured" at som.

Dean Collins, Portland, Aug. SO, 1911. IEWS Country Town Sayings by Ed Howe (Copyright. 1911. by Geora Matthew Adam.) Frequently you do not Know, ana cannot find out, but politeness, fairness, industry and temperance will never fail you. And if you add caution, and as much simple common sense as you can acquire as a result of experience and reading, you have about all there is. Perhaps It has occurred to' you that others have a good deal "given to them." A gift is seldom what you want, and it rarely comes when you need It. The best way is to take care of yourself; and of three or four others. The runaway horse must stop some where; it always develops that the brief excitement was dearly earned. If ambitious for success in a big way. there are some callings you should avoid. Do not teach music in a country tom-n, and expect to become a rival of the money kings of tha world. You may not always Know m-nen-you are wrong, but usually you have sus picions. Half the family names are so ugly that they should be changed by tha Legislature. Town men talk about farmers quit a good deal, behind their backs..... 'Nearly every man imposes on his women folks at the table; and as a result, women eat less than men., and live longer. When a man sells you a book you; do not mant, that's hypnotism.. Every man's talk is bigger than h Is.

(To the Editor. 1 I noticed an . article In T!i Oregonian recently, written by a home, seeker, In which he complains that set tiers cannot get Information as to Gov. ernment lands 'from the registers ot the local land offices and complaining of the register of th Portland office. Our experience at this office Is that settlers looking for lands come to ths local offices and expect the officers and clerks to be able to tell them the exact condition of the lands as to amount of valley, bottom and hill lands, and In some instances insist that the Govern ment send men out with them to locate, them. Many of them have no Idea where they want to settle. This office during the past year has answered over 10.000 letters. Over 5000 have been inquiries about Govern ment lands. All these letters are an swered. the day that they are received. Many of them are personal letters, but the most of them are circular letters. The settler should first make up hi mind what part of the state he desiroa to settle in and then write to the land office in that district, for as stated edi torially ln The Oregonian, the register of one land district Is not qualified to give Information as to the lands ln another district, and -in any event has no personal knowledge of the character of the lands open to settlement.
