Phone Main 82. A BARE OLD BLOSSOM. JOHN D'S Cleveland pastor Bays that tho old Orenser is "a rose in the garden of tho Lord." We fancy that that pastor's knowledgo of botany is rather limited. In fact, we would not want him to pick out our nose gays, lest we should be sniffing skunk cabbage when we were expecting the odor of mignonette. We would not like to trust that whited sepul chre of a minister with a bunch of dog fennel in a pig yard. The trouble with this money-worshipping preacher is that he does not know the difference be tween an olfactory and an oil factory. Coal oil to him is of divine flavor, and old oleaginous John would smell as sweet to him, as long as his money "was forthcoming, as a bunch of lilacs. John is a dear old rose, a dainty bud in the vale of Cashmere, a fragrant blossom, a trifle withered, but still of unc tious sweetness. Still, compared to the minister who falls down and worships the old brevet rosebud, he is as a rose yoked up with a decayed sample of garlic. Under the beneficent provisions of nature the oil magnate will have to shed bis wealth when he passes over to the other side, but it is much to be hoped that he can and will take his especial minister with him, as a sort of verdant background to the rose in the garden of well, whatever garden it is. The minister's comparison, however, provokes a smile, for one cannot but grin at the picture called up of old Unctions John in the character of a bald headed rose. Just imagine the veteran humanity-skinner, with that barefoot ed head of his lifted up lovingly to be kissed by the dew and the dripping rain. Just imagine that miniature skn'ing rink doing duty as a pink petaled blossom, swayed by the caressing zephyrs, and opening one by one its pink folds in blushing loveliness under the amorous kisses of the vernal sun. But what's the uset Canst thou paint the lily, gild refined oil, or add fresh per fume to the gasoline t Nay, verily. PROTECTION TO AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. THE RUCEN'T CENSUS in Hawaii tells soino things between lines that make interesting reading and furnish food for thought. It is shown by this census tlint tho total mnlo population in the islands above tho age of 20 years is S,0!(1. Of these, 41,7ns are Japanese, and of these Japs only 11 are- citizens of Hawaii. There are also 18,000 Chinese and Co renns ahd only 11,000 Caucasians. How many of tho lntlcr are Atncricnn citi zens is not known, but it is safe to say, with tho large Oennan population, that not more than half, or about 7000 aro Americans. With this showing tho advocates of a duty on sugar aro calling attention to tho "great injustice''' that will bo done by taking tho duty off sugar, and thus robbing the Ameri can citizens in Hawaii of tho benefits of tho protective tariff. The islands now sending thoir sugar here free, and getting the benefits of tho protective tar iff, as against the world outsido of Amorica's motherly realm. ' JuBt how tho Amarican consumer is to bo taxed to bonefit the "Ameri cans" in Hawaii is not explained by tho tariff advocates. Just why that consumer should bo taxed for the benofit of the Japs and Chinese in Hawaii is another thing that is not very widely discussed, even by Beed Smoot, the apostle from Utah, who is as promiscuously and multitudinously wedded to business interests that need protection, and other things, as he is in his real, matrimonial beliefs, if not practices. If protection is to be extended to the Japs and Chinks in order to protect the starving sugar trust, the poverty stricken wool trust and more of tho nation ' paupers, the people should at least be informed of that fact ' EVIDENCE OF FLATTERING GROWTH. CHAMBERLAIN HOLDB THE TRUMPS. 0 UR ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY, the Oregonian, finds fault with Senator Chamberlain, and is right in doing so for his course in voting one way in caucus, where his vote did not count, and directly opposite in the senate, where his vote probably was actually tho deciding vote. Tho situation is such that if Chamberlain was to vote against the mak ing of sugar and wool free, those articles would probably ictoin some meas ure of protoction. Ho holds the tramp card and ho plays it as the party di Tocts, rather than as he professes to believe. However, as we remember tho Oregonian 's position it is in tho same boat with Chamberlain, for between sessions of congress it is, if not a free trador, at least strongly inclined that way. In fact, some of tho best written and most cogent editorials on tho subject of tariff we have ever had tho pleasure of reading, wore In the Oregonian, and they were strongly inclined against protective theory. This being tho caso, what was it the kettle remarked about tho potf BOGUS PETITIONS AND FRAUDLENT SIGNATURES. IT IS CLAIMED thnt there aro nmnv bogus signatures to the petition asking that the workmen's compensation bill be referred. The district attorney of Multnomah county will take the matter up and it is hoped, if there has been any fraud practiced, thnt he will send those responsible for it to the penitentiary, which they are so eminently qualified to ornament. There is an element whoso sole object is to set aside by crooked menus the acts of tho people, ami there is another element thnt is always ready to assist in doing this if it is paid for its dirty work. Of course it is the right of any citizen to invoke the referendum, if they think the matter is harmful or wrong. There can no fault be found with thnt, but the gang thnt will willingly override the desires of the people at the behest of any disgruntled bunch and assist in man ufacturing false evidence to accomplish this, belongs In the pen, and tho quicker they are sent there, the better It will be for tho whole country, It is not only the contemptible and irresponsible signers that should be punished, but the higher-ups, tho men who deliberately nuike it possible for the irrespon sible to do the signing, and incidentally to aid in tho commission of a crime ngninst the rights of the people. These are the persons that the district attor ney should get after, and if they are convicted the judge should only hesitate long enough in sentencing them to bo suro that ho is giving them nil tho law allows. This gang hns made the referendum a weapon for holding up tho community, and its work must he stopped. LADD & BUSH, Bankers TRANSACTS A GENERAL UNKING BUSINESS. SAFXTT DI. POSIT BOIES. TIATELEBS' CHECKS, BUT A SHORT TIME AGO The Capital Journal had an editorial on tho subject of Salem's phenomenal growth. In this it was shown that tak ing the relative number of school children in the city when the census of 1910 was taken as a basis of computation, and using the same ratio between school' children and population in, 1913, that there was an in crease of from 14.194 in 1910, to 19.032 in 1913. Now comes another fact to show the Bteady and rapid grgowth of the city. In the receipts at the postof- fice, always a reliable indication of both business and growth, there is a re- markablo gain shown. In the year ending July 1, 1912, the receipts of the Salem postoffice were $63,451.77. For the year ending July 1, 1913, the re ceipts were $73,591.93. The increase was $S,140.16, or between 12 and 13 per ent, a flattering showing, indeed. This showing is in direct keeping with the growth shown by the school census. That showed a gain of 36 per cent in three years, and the postal re ceipts show a gain of 12 per cent for one year. Salem has had no boom, no extra rush, but has gone steadily along adding daily to its opopulation and prosperity, and today it is one of the most solid and substantial cities on the coast. Its growth has been solid, built upon its merits, and is but the beginning of its reaching after what will before long be its record, a population of 100,000. The Capital Journal sets that mark for Salem, and it will be reached inside of ten years after the flax begin to blos som around her. Queen city of the valley is Salem, and no other has richer or more magnificent throne. BOOSTERS AND RIDERS. THERE is in every community two distinct classes, the one that boosts for public betterment and the other that takes advantage of the boost ing to ride into power or take some advantage of the booster's efforts for his own gain. The Oregon Journal takes this latter class to task in a manner that is commendable, and that we take pleasure in reproduc ing, not that Salem is afflicted with that class, for the Capital City is pecul iarly fortunate in that rospect, but just for the general good. The big paper says: "The Portland publicity fund is now nearly $100,000. Recently it was $84,000 and at that time 140 individuals and institutions were the contribu tors. The present larger sum doubtless represents a relatively small number of subscribers. "There are 5000 peoplo in Portland who pay taxes on a valuation of more than $10,000. Out of so many, how strange that Only 140 were sub scribers to the publicity fund at the time it was $84,000. "No big holder in city lots and blocks is a subscriber. None of those who have large interests in unimproved property, hoping to get higher and higher prices for it, is, as yet, on the list of contributors. "Many individuals whom the publicity most aids are not helping to finance it. The values of their holdings are enhanced by the bringing of new capital and new people to Portland.' In nine or ten years, realty values in Portland have advanced probably $150,000,000 through such public endeavors as the Lewis and Clark fair, the publicity expenditures, the Rose Festival, and kindred activities. This $150,000,000 of value is actually pocketed, and it did not go to workers for their toil, to merchants for their enterprise, to manufacturers for their progess, to builders for their endeavors, to bankers for their activities, to salaried men for their services, or to professional men for their skill. Every dollar of it wentinto the pockets of men who own land, and prominent among the beneficiaries are the big holders of unimproved town lots, holding on until publicity funds contributed by other folks have brought higher land values. "Increased population docs little or nothing for a great department store. It brings more department stores to compete for business. More pop ulation brings more business for banks, more business for druggists, more for workers, but it brings more banks, moro drug stores, and more workers, t' share in the benefits. 1 "But it brings no more city lots to go into competition with the, lots held on a popular street by a land hog. He and his kind have the desirable property cornered, and nil the added capital, and all (he added population pour money into his pockets. "Why shouldn't he contribute to publicity funds? "Why shouldn't he help finance Rose Festivals? "Why should he be alwnys a beneficiary and seldom a contributor? "Why should he be always a leaner and never a lifter?"

The striking spectacle of a peaceful armada twice as large in numbers as tho Spanish armada of long ago representing tho merchant marine of Great Britain, and stretching five miles along the Mersy estuary, was presented to King George and Queen Mary, who arrived here to day to be the chief figures in the ceremonies ttending the opening of the gigantic new Gladstone dock. The post of honor was given to the great ship Mauretania, and after boarding th yacht Galatea to review the fleet the king and queen inspected the Cunarder. Twenty-six big ocean ships were in line including tho White Star Ceramic, and the Canadian Pacific liner, Empress of Ireland and scores of miscellaneous craft. The warships Liverpool and Lancaster, selected in honor of the Lan cashire visit, provided the naval escort ior the mercantile fleet. The arrange ments were made by tho Earl of Derby, with whom the king and queen are stay ing, Stringent precautions were taken by the police to guard against any pos sible suffragette interruptions or dem onstrations at the dock and along the ioute of the royal procession ashore and afloat neing thoroughly patrolled. Soveral yachts which had taken their places in line without notifying tho au thorities were pounced upon by the river and harbor polico and tho ownors hnd to give strict account of themselves and their passengers. FUGITIVE CAUGHT NOW FACES FEDERAL CHARGE Washington, July 11. After being captured at Bend, Ore., by Sheriff Sny der and taken to jail charged with having escaped from a California pris ou, E. G. Van Zant, alias Bernard Sit, was confronted with a federal indict ment charging him with perpetrating a big land swindle in tho Lakeview district under the name of the Lake view Development company, and sell ing land which he did not own. Ber nard Sitz was indicted in California for the same offense, but he escaped and oame qp here. The federal au- tnorities now want to make the state's case doubly sure and will eot thorn to turn the man over to them if the state of California will agree. Sitz is chartre.l with swindling poor people out of thou sands of dollars, selling them beauti ful 10-acre farms said to be located on a mountain near Lakeview. It was found that he did not even own the Innd, which was rocky and unfit for anything. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets. Druggists refund monoy if it fails to cure. E.
