Ami now let's quietly consider this democratic convention. .A convention is n place where poli ticians meet every four years to learn how to mix new drinks nnd to follow their instructions from home on at least two ballots. No party, however, preat, can ab solutely control a monopoly on the steamroller. Speaking of names Tnft has ap pointed n new general named Chase. Chase, the general is good. Clarence Darrow and the Fourth of July will have to get along as best they can, until after the Baltimore session. . ''Let's have one church in Medford nnd let everyone go td it," says Medford editor. Impossible in, fishing community. There seqms to be a strong under current in Medford in favor of nom inating Bud Anderson on an indepen dent ticket. Anyhow, he got Abe's label. One idea of a foolhardy thing to do is to argue which side of the creek is the better to live on. Says Theodore, ' "I will ignore . What they may do At Baltimore." In the matter of whiskers, for in stance, the dems have Kern and J. Ham Lewis against Hughes for the S- o. p. No Place for Harmony When the Murphy hussars and the Hearst -drrigaoij,4t, i4 Joined forces tit Baltimore, Fair Harmony primped her golden locks And sidled in the door. But, alas, for the hopes of the radicnt lass, Tlint she should there remain, , For the Bryan' brigade rose tip "in mass .And chased her out again. When Harmony dwells with a bunch of crooks, A rose 'mong paper flowers, We kick the traces 'long with flilt And shout "discord for ours." HOOD RIVER FRUIT CROP DISAPPOINTING tJHOOD RIVER,, Or., Juno 2C. Early estimates of tlio Hood River valley applo crop, ma do from bloom prospects and loaded fruit spurs, have been greatly reduced by experts and experienced orchurtfists, who hnvo Investigated the orchards dur ing tho past wook. Tho latest esti mates of tho crop rarigo all the way from COO, 000 to 8000,000 boxes. "From my observations last weok" says W. H. Lawrence, fruit Inspector, "tho valley should have 800,000 box es of fruit, If tho apples reach tho sipto which prevailed year before last. If tho fruit 1b small, as It was last year, wo will have but fow boxes inoro than 700,000. Every prospect seems to point to a big apple this year. Tho weather conditions have been Ideal for perfect apples." Charles 1J. Sproat, manager of tho National Apple- sompany, says tho crop of commercial apples will not exceed COO, 000 boxes "I do not ln cludo In this," says Mr. Sproat, "tho cujls and lower grado fruits, which -will bo consumed at home and neigh boring markets. M I mean by my state ment tia wowli nttt 1iuyg moro than GOO.OOO boxen of first" cidsu 'and extra fiiucy fruit." j THE ONE WT NT twenty-five years of political strlig&le. I have fouifcl JVnio groat issue overshadowing all others tlio en croachment of the powerful few on the rights of the many. All the issues of today are but phases of this one great question. How shall the individual, the farmer, the work er, and all those who pay tribute, be set free from the unjust exactions of the tariff, the railroads, the money power, and other forms of oppression by special interests?" This is from Senator La .Follette and represents the protest of insurgency. This great issue' adopted by Theodore Roosevelt, was the cause of his endorsement bv the people in the recent prima rv campaign, his defeat at the hands of the fraudu lent convention and the inspiration for his independent Candida ey. But long before La toilette's awakening and during the veal's in which Roosevelt was permitting the encroach ment of the few on the rights of the many, Bryan was making the fight single-handed. The first battle of I8i)( was fought with this as the real issue, and his every defeat has strengthened and emphasized his principles, because he has fought for the right. The Rvan-Belmont hosts of special privilege, cap tained "by professional politicians like Murphv, Tagirart and Sullivan whom they finance, weiv able to elect the eaetionary Parker, darling of the predatory rich, as chair man by an alliance with the amiable but mediocre politician Champ Qlark, but their margin was so small that it is doubtful if they really control the convention. Bryan's defeat at the hands of this element only strengthens him and his cause with the people. Tf the convention repudiates him, as it has started out to, and iiominat.es a reactionary the democratic party will lose its onlv excuse for existence. THE LIFE WORTH WHILE. A RATHER remarkable story by IT. G. Wells is running in the American magazine entitled "Marriage." In it.pne of the principal characters, a successful businessman says: 'I've got Into this stupid Struggle for winning money, and I feel as a woman must feel who s made a success of prostitution. I've been prosti tuted, i reel like some one fallen ami diseased. . . . Business and pros pres pros tituteon: they're the sanit thing. All business Is a sort of prostitution, all prostitution Is a sort of business. Why should one sell one's brains any more than one sell one's body? . . . It's so easy to succeed if one haB good brains and cares to do it and doesn't let one's attention or imagination wan der and it's so degrading. Hopelessly degrading. . . . I'm sick or this life. Marjorle. 1 don't want to buy things. I'm sick of buying. I'm tired of things and the getting of things. I'm at an end. I'm clean nt nn end. It's exactly as though suddenly In the midst of walking through a great bouse one came on a passage that ended abruptly In a door, which opened on nothing! Nothing! " Oh, why should the life of every day conquer us? Why should generation after generation of men have these tlrio beginnings these splendid dreams of youth, attempt so much, achieve so much, and then, then become this! Look at this room, this litter of little satisfactions! Look nt your pretty books there a hundred minds you have pecked at, bright things of the spirit that attracted you as Jewels attract a jackdaw. Look at tho glass and silver, and that silk from China! And we arc in the full tide of our years. Marjorle. Now Is the very crown and best of our lives. And this Is what wo do, we sample, we accumulate. For this we loved, for this we hoped. Do you remember when we were young that life seemed to splendid It was intolerable we should ever die? . . . The splendid dream! The Intimations of greatness! . . . The miserable failure!' " Such reflections as these come to every one who toils and works and thinks. Those who don't think, arc not troubled with them. Unless there is a ;jo3T in the work itself, in the effort, struggle and mastery, it soon becomes a wearisome grind, no matter how much success follows. Particularly joyless to the thinker is the "stupid struggle ot winning money." The man who works simply to make or accumulate money, soon finds his occupation it revolting one. It is necessarily so, because it is a purely selfish one and all occupations that tend solely for selfish ends are degrading. The person who finds life worth while is the one who lives for others besides himself, who cares for humanity enough to strive to benefit it, and tries to follow the golden rule, who enjoys his work and the mastery of its problems and takes a zest in his recreatio'ns, who appreciates nature and its beauty and tries to do right as it is given him to see the 'right. As long as we are self-centered and work solely for self, the "life of every day conquers" and steals the zest pessimism replaces optimism because we don't work for anything worth while Futility of Reform By E. L. McClure. The Chicago convention gave the greatest exhibition of the futility of lenders of the people's cause to fight the invincible money power in a nom inating convention. The power of corruption has been reduced to u fine art, the bossed of eery party feed from the "pork burrel" and the selfish interest of the greatest politician is capable of being "reached" by tho machinations of mammon. How is it possible for the people to be served by representatives in nny organiza tion, tho money power choose to cor rupt, with a "jork barrel" of unlimit ed dimensions? The money power is absolute while gofd'is (he standard. No state, organization or policy can oppose the invincible power of might with a weaker power. Every victory for tho people in the past has proved an ignusfatuiis, for, whatever victory thnt uppears to dethrone tho money power, they only permitted it as n matter of expediency, mid immediate ly nullified it by coercion, or u trick, like Antony's reading' a clause in Ceusar's will. It plays the political game with consummate skill and wastes as little energy as possible in coercion. Tho filial result: "The administration must (ako order", is as inevitable us that the power of might is irresistible. The skillful manipulation of the prim aries requires the least coercion, and following in sequence, tho nominating convcritlohs, the! election of officers, and filially he administration itself, which may have lo pass through panic- GREAT igfcufc. by Organization tor revolution, ori chaos but whatever may result whether socialism, con servatism, or a-mnn-on-horse-bnek, emerges as ruler of the state, it must "take orders" before prosperity can be restored, which can only exist with an abundant circulation of money. Bryan has found tho Baltimore convention packed. Kern, his own selection for temporary chairman, de clined to run against his friend bar ker. Bell of California, was reeking with pork barrel ethics, and not a singfe democratic warhorse could be found to be stuudard-bearer for pro gressive principles. The steam-roller appears to bo in as perfect order in Baltimore on the opening day of the convention as it was throughout tho Chicago convention. If the democratic nominee "takes Orders" in advance the sumo as Tnft, then what There may bo two organizations of pro gressive parties. If tho number of parties in the field divido the dele gates to the electoral college so that no nominee has a majority of the electoral college, the election reverts to a crude electoral body of congress men designated by state representa tion with possible failure of election, so that thero remains a wide field for speculation as to what will bo the outcome, and at last thero can be no Cbeupo from "hiking' orders" no mut ter who muy be" eleott'd president. Money power cannot bo regulufoil or controlled, and must bo destroyed by demonetizing gold rind adopting scientific money arid unless the pro gressives include tho mouey question As thu Who tlley will ht ftt helpless to givo thu people freedom and pros perity ns thu old partii"t hnvo been. Tho nlilioriviii'ti of money rule ta 'is universal as tho kimwhldgo of its power and it only needs u dissemina tion of tho truth for scientific money to bo adopted tlumiimotwly, but as long as no ono iHsoiihsc the iliosliou the people will remain ignorant of tho tvini'dy. But if any one of tho popu lar candidates promulgate tho princi ples of scioutifio money it wtulld be come conation knowledge in one cnln pnigu for tho greatest economists cannot refute the fact that scientific money is a perfect remedy for till the defeots of money, which should he ap parent to every render of thu Milil- 'Irihiine because ihey can rest ns miiyiI that it would have been tefiited in the.se columns befoie now if it wore possible to do so. The author called on W. J. Hrviin at his residence- in Lincoln, Neb., just after his nomination in MMkS in an effort to induce him to adopt s,ien tifio money. He asVil many perti nent questions during my presentation nt the subject but refused to discu-.s the matter, said the campaign had to be fought on the Issue- presented by the democratic platform. I replied that Tnft had raised new issues since the republican convention adjourned, and that no one was more capable of raising new issues than W. J. Bryan. He replied that no one was big enough to tell the pisipte what they wanted. All any one could do wijs to find out what the people wanted and give it to them. I replied that the people did not know -nhat they want ed. They knew things were decidedly wrong and were following lender thev believed would remedy them ami if he would almw the people how he could destroy money Her he would be elected by an overwhelming ma jority, but if ho ndmiUed, as ho must, thnt he could not oppo-c money pow er, he would he defeated. He refused to discuss it and lost. There is a show for him to retrieve his error ami win the greatest victory in the world's history and give the people prosperity and freedom forever by adopting scientific money.
