It is iaihcllecl "tfor iiiniiGlUnto use without charge." The caption over the cut is "Paying Cor Foreign Sun shine" nnd the legend that adorns it reads as follews: "Thai the people of tho United States nro pnylnjr ItoA.OoO.OOO a year tor foreign. ruhruIho In tho form of Imported siiRnr which is only carbon, hydrogen and oxj-Rcn drawn from tho atmosphere Is tho statement of Tru man Q.

Sevcnty'-ono American beet sugar factories, are In operation In IT different states, approximately KOO.OOO acres are planted to sucar beets and S4S.000.000 a year is distributed to American farmers. laborers and others In tho operation of tho Industry. Unless unfavorable tariff legislation Interferes, Mr. Palmer predicts, Americans will soon bu producing all their sugar at homo and saving for themselves tho J100, 000,000 a year now spent for tho concentrated sunlight of other lands," This free illustrated service is sent to newspapers with the idea that the cut may induce them to publish it. It is a now form of the system introduced by Thomas fortune Ryan, to "accelerate public opinion," without paying for it. This service is, of course, sent out in behalf of the sugar trust to create a tavorable impression ior a con tinued high tariff on sugar and foster the allied boot-sugar game. It lias the same old appeal to American fanners nnd laborers which has worn the stars and stripes of Old Glory to shreds waving for the benefit of the trusts. Tho sugar trust is as heartless, as conscientiousless, as grasping and greedy as any trust perhaps more so. It levies its tribute upon rich and poor alike, from the infant in arms to tottering old acre.

"Whenever am of these creations of special legislation at public expense arc attacked and an effort made to force them to stand on their own merits by romoving tho tariff subsidy, we have the cry of "confiscation" and are told that the prosperity of the American working-man is being assailed. Faithful servants of the interests in congress, like Senator Lodge, assert in all seriousness, that the tax on sugar is a tax on the luxuries of the rich, because tho poor can do without sweets. And the senate proceeds to renew the biu'dcnon the multitude 03- passing new tariff on sugar, only slightly reduced from the former and en tirely unjustifiable: AN !i HER JOY R DF Old Sol is off on another little ex cursion in the big figures nnd from present indications will clip n few rr 'oords this w'eck.

A PERSONALLY CONDUCTED AND INSTRUCTED PARTY. IT is announced that Golouel Rooscvolt has selected former Senator Beveridge as chairman of the national convention and afterwards as. candidate for governor for the .bull JNIoose part' in Indiana. It is also announced that, Dr. Henry Waldo Goo has been chosen by the Colonel's manager as Oregon member ot tiiQ committee on credentials for the Chicago conven tion. Numerous and varied other announcements, procla mations and bulls inform the expectant nation as to who's who in the new organization. This political party repre senting1 the dear people, has its organization hand picked in advance and its officers all announced before it meets. Not only is Roosevelt to be the nominee, but it is alSo announced that a Southerner will be his running male. The Colonel admits that he is busy drafting- the platform, which will be so radical that he says some will call it anarchistic. An assembly was held last week in redford, attended by a few of the rank and file, who appointed delegates to attend a state' assembly which selected delegates to the national convention all this in spite of the fact that political conventions arc forbidden in Oregon, where the people rule directly. . ' "Thou shalt not steal" is the motto of tho new party, and yet in several states the; third party plans to steal the republican party name and organization.. It till depends from whom the steaing is done. It was right to steal the Wisconsin delegation from La Jfollette in 3904 for Roosevelt, but shocking to stoaL delegates he never had from Roosevelt in 3.0.12. Only a molly-coddle would quibble over stealing Panama from from poor little Colombia, or stealing the glory ofi San Juan hill from the real hero. But the new party, its organization its motto and its emblem are typical of its inspiration, its founder, its main spring. It is.not the party of progressivism, for scarcely a sincere progressive in the nation is affiliated with it and Roosevelt himself is simply a political opportunist who shouts progressive principles merely as a means to an end. The aim and origin and object of the new organization is sirnply the furthering or the. ambitions ot an unscrupu lous politician in overriding tradition by violating his own rn'oiuisc to secure a third term a party built about a personality, whoe pxtraoi'tlinary popularity has turned his head. ' , ,. ...rj The methods of organization reflect tljo (RoopveU conception of popular rule conventions are, al right as long as they do what Colonel Roosevelt wnntij, and he selects their officers and names the candidates,, as in J,9()4 and 1908, but wrong when he can do neither as in .1,9,12. To let the neoplCirule is right, when they do .as Roofjcyqif tells them to, lint all wrong wljen .they do what they varit to, as in Oklahoma, where he interfered in ,tle, adoption of a constitution ratified by the people. . It tho Jnitcd States has reached the stage that only one man-can rule 'it', let us elect Teddy perpetual presi dent and let mm run the country. Jt principles are still grpntorihnn inivdjial8,let us retire him to the honorable obscurity the republic bestows, upon ex-presidents a warning to over deter tho popular and the unscrupulous xivw iLyw& mMVAimmzsi. jno. nuiion, sued in pony. "When the great insurance scandals were unearthed a few years ago by th energetic efforts of Governor Hughes of New Yotk, it was discov ered that at the head of each one of them was a pcrt-on called a president or general manager drawing salar ies all the way from $73,000 to $100,. 000 per annual. Few people will be lieve at first statement that A, h. Mills, president of the First Nntional Hank of Portland, and president of the Oregon Life Insurance company draws no salary whatever for lii- services in the latter oosition. Neither do the manager, I Samuel, nor the assistant manager, draw a dollar of salary, hut receive a very modest commission on the business they write. Mr. Samuel conceived the ideu of this form of a life insur ance company in 190.1 and he and his associates havo made it what .t is today tho most satisfactory Hfo insurance company n the world, lie had been writing life iuMirnuec poli cies for twenty-one year and wanted to write his life into the history of the stale and he has done it by. cs tablishing Oregon Life. The man to whom he first talked about it is dend and gone. So are eight more of the original stockhold era II. W. G'oode, O. Y. Paxton, Herman Wittenburg, Sig Frank of Portland; C. A. Coggswel! of Lake county, Henry E. Aqkeny of Eugene, Richard Scott of Milwuukic, and Col, W. F? Butcher of Haker City. It ! a remarkablo facL that only one of these gentlemen could get a policy in the company he helped bring into existence. Tho highest authority on life in surancc in tho world Host's Life In btiranco IteiKjrts for J SHU, says Ore gon Life has a most wonderful rec ord and that it is. one of tho best managed life insurance corporations in tho world. It states further that the mortality rate-In Oregon .is won derfully low. The death ratu of chil dren and adults is almost a minus quantify in Portland oifd other parts of the state. People get fired of hearing L. Sam uel fioost the Made in Oregon Idea. Hut L. Samuel never gets tired. lie has been in the' state forty-one years. Ho was tho original Oregon booster when ho tuil'ilislicd tho Wont Shore mrfgazine. Hut all Iiik life work and all his talking for the Ore gon industries are not it drop in the bucket compnrcd to the demonstra tion of the idea he has made in the establishment of Oregon Life. All the capital is Oregon money. The policyholders are all Oregoniaiisx The investments are all made in Oregon securities nnd it s tho only exclu sively Oregon life insurance com pany. Its losses are paid in Oregon and its interest distributed in Oregon. ,' P. S. L. Sumuel starts all his grandchildren at one year of ago with a policy in Oregon Life. He says he believes in his own medicine and shows his belief in having his own take tho medicine to the third gener ation. THOUGHT INSANE BECAUSE HE EUG0LIZED GOVERNOR ATLANTA, (Id,, July 'JO.
