TOIIN TACOJb ASTOR, who ronounoctl his American u citizenship in the quest of mi .Knglisli ouruioin, is tiiun cloriiitr ncrainst tho house of lords for "nniuloring to tlu passions of tho mob" and surrendering its veto power to tho commons. At the same time, President Tnffc is denying statehood to Arizona because of its constitutional recall provision with its "possible tvranny of a popular majority,. J In other words, both in Astor's and Tuft's opinion, the people are not to be trusted, and to leave any question to the decision of a popular majority is dangerous. According to President Taft, the people have sense enough and brains enough to select and elect judges, but not enough to pass upon their fitness as shown by their actions after their election. Once elected, Taft places them upon a pedestal and clothes them with a divinity almost equal to the divinity with which a peer is clothed, in Astor's estimation. Substitute the word judiciary for peerage in Astor's newspaper fulminations, or peerage for judiciary in Pres ident Taft's veto message, and no one could tell these lit- crarv productions apart. Distrust of 'the people, fear of the "mob" is the pre vailing sentiment of each. Both are tories in thought, out of harmony with the democratic times an unkind fate has cast their lots in. To bo sure, the recall is a "sword of Damocles," hang- . , ... ...

Obscur ing tho sky to a 100 feet myriads of butterflies today aro lutesting the forests between Montgomery creek and Barney. The insects, most of most of which aru about an inch in Inch in length with a wing expanse of nn inch and a half, are flying south ward. It is thought they aro the product of a great host of army worms which descended upon Sisson 'about two weeks ago. FISH TRUST INVADES SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TWO CARS PEARS ' SHIPPED DAILY Rogue River Fruit & Produce Asso ciation Kept on the Jump Outlook for Prices Is Not as Encouraging as Earlier In Season. ROMEO THREATENS SUIT M LIBEL Congressman Lafferty Going After Oregon Newspapers Which "De famed' Him Though He Admits Writing to Girl. Two cars a day ot Roguo River pears will bo shipped cast during the remainder of this week, making practically 15 cars to go forward. The Rogue River Fruit & Produce as sociation Is being kept on tho Jump attending to shipments. In regard to tho pear situation, the association bulletin, Issued under date of August 1G, says: Picking began a llttlo earlier than was anticipated on account of the heavy drop in some orchards, and la now well under way. The quality of tho fruit Is fair, but showing frost marks In some spots. Tho associa tion is operating packing houses at Medford, Phoenix and Eden Valley orchards, and the growers aro Invit ed to Inspect the houses and methods used. Tho outlook Is far from encour aging for anything like record prices this season. Earlier advices Indicat ed that we might reach much, higher figures than last year, but the prices realized this last week for Califor nia Bartletts from $1.25 to 1.C0 In New York and Chicago lead us to think that our prices will bo much lower than we first expected. The reasons given for tho present ruinous prices aro the Inferior fruit from Cal ifornia, tho largo quantity ot fine Michigan pears selling In Chicago for $1 a bushel.and tho plentiful supply, unique in the history of governments. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. lo. De claring that he would resign it it was proved thnt he hud ever been arrest ed on a charge of "iutmltiuir women,'" as was published in Portland recent ly, Congressman A. W. Lafferty m a telegram received here today an nounced his intention of prosecuting for libel, a Portland paper which, lie claims, defamed him. Lafferty stat ed that the suit would lie filed imme diately on his return from Washing ton. In bis telegram Lafferty. admitted that lie wrote a letter to a woman in Portlnnd whom he saw in the post office, nnd that lie sought a meeting by this means. He denied the charge that he called iicr over the telephone, save at her solicitation. Concerning the Kubel letter writ ing incident at Washington a short time ago, tho representative from the Second congressional district de clared that "Papa Kubel" threatened liim by letter but declined to visit Lafferty's office and make good "his cowardly thrcut" us Lafferty ex pressed it. TAFT'S DISTRUST OF THE PEOPLE OF SHOWN (Continued from Pago 1.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cnl., Aug. 14. The Western Fish company generally known us the fish trust lias decided to extend its operations to' southern California. This became known to day from the fact that tho steam trawlers, Christopher Columbus and Blanco tiro now en route- to San Pe dro. Although tho officials of tho westorn company have not admitted their intention to frecoz on the mde pendouts in the southern city, it has been rumored thnt such is tho intcii ffg"L' '-2 of peaches. With the largo consump tion of pears and tho decreasing ship ments from now on, prices should pick up quite a little, but aTe not likely to reach our former records. Other sections of tho northwest and Colorado havo several hundred cars to send, however, and tho market will not rise rapidly. It Is vital for any decent prices that wo do not send ours forward any faster than Is absolutely neces sary to save tho crop. We should hold off from picking until the very last day, as tho later pears always bring tho highest prices. Growers should always consult with tho manager before beginning to pick. It means money to us to havo the fruit go as near tho right time as possible. Three cars were shipped last week, ono from near urccs, orcnaru mm two from Kden Valley. This week wo shall sond from 10 to 12 cars. Tho shipping time to Chicago will be re duced from 12 to 10 days If mo promises of tho railroad companies hold good, and this will effect quite a difference In tho condition of tho fruit on arrival. This can bo attrib uted to tho efforts of tho association. Wo also expect to got a lower freight rato before the Beason Is over, tho shipments at present going at tho old rato, but under protest.

It gives our Judiciary a position higher, stronger and more responsible than that of tho Judiciary pf any other country and raoro ef fectively secures adherence to the fundamental will ot tho people. "Judges, to fulfill their functions properly under our schema of gov ernment, must be nioro Independent than under any other form. That need of Independenco Ib greatest where tho Individual Is ono litigant and tho state, guided by a auccciiH ful, governing majority, Is the other. "In order to preaorvo tho rights of tho minority nnd tho Individual and to proscrvo our constitutional bal ance, the Judges must have tho cour age to decldo against tho majority when law and Justice requlro. Kiibjects to Popular fiuxtH. "Could there be a system moro Ingeniously devised to subject Judges to momentary gusts of popular pas sion than tho Arizona system? Elec tion controversies, labor troubles, ra cial and rollglous Issues, regarding tho construction and constitutional ity of liquor laws, criminal trials of popular and unpopular defondunts, romoval ot county scats, suits by In dividuals to maintain their constitu tional rights In tho obstruction of somo popular Improvement these and other cases could bo cited In which tho majority of a district elec torate might be tempted In (msty an gor to recall a consclnntlous Judge If tho opportunity was open all tho time, with no period ot delay Inter posing for tho abatement of popular feeling.

Do not they Include those having money enough to umploy fire brands and slanderers In a commu nity, stlrrcrs-up of soclul halo?
