THE STATE FAIR. No time in the historv of the Oregon state fair has there been such a good feeling among the agricultural classes towards the success of the fair as exists at the present time. Every section of the state seems to be taking an interest In the fair and promises to give it their hearty support. Eastern Oregon for the first time has promised one or two county exhibits, con sisting of agricultural products, while the southern portion of the state will also be represented by a com prehensive exhibit of its agricultural products. Live stock from all over the state is being prepared fortius year's fair. There are reasons for this awakening of the people to the support of the fair. One is, the management has worked hard and faithfully to make the fair as broad as the state itself. The transportation compa nies have come to their assistance and made very lib eral raftes on hauling exhibits of all kinds. Another is, the people are beginning to realize that it is time to let the outside world know of the wonderful re soarces of our state, and believe that the state fair is the proper place to meet the better class of homeseek ers. This will niaks the fair doubly valuable. It will give those who are looking for homes on the Pacific coast an opportunity to see in a body what our state can produce, and where it is produced, without travel ing all over the state at great expense. It will also give the exhibitor the best possible opportunity of showing his products, whether it be grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables or live stock. CARDINAL SARTO ELECTED POPE. Cardinal Sarto was elected Pope Tuesday to Buceeed the late Pope Leo XIII. Cardinal Rampolla led in the race for the coveted tiar until the final ballot. No conclave is likely to equal in duration the inter regnum whioh ejisued on the death of Clement IV, at Viterbo, on November 29, 1268. That lasted two years and nine months, and constituted the record. It has been only once approached This was on the death of Nicholas IV, 1 2!2. The interregnum then lasted two years, three months and two days. During the last century the longest conclave was that which elected Pius VI II, in 1829. That lasted a month and 23 days. The election of his predecessor, Leo XII, in 1823, had occupied a month and three days. The Venice conclave of 1800, which resulted in favor of Fius VII, sat for 26 days. In the case of Gregory XVI, in 1831, and Pius IX( in 1846, two days sufficed. Talk of a street carnival for Oregon City this fall has been revived. With a proptr spirit of co-operation all along the line, such a street fair would be a creditable success. thousand dollars for thojf.ewis and Clark Fair, because the carpenters' union feared the fair would bring I "choap labor" to work on the exposition buildings.' All theso attempts failed, but they created bad feel ing, and contempt for the once joyfully hailed refer endum. Now the circuit court, on a technicality, 1ms unanimously declared the amendment unconstitu tional. And there are few to mourn it. Even the paper that so warmly championed it admits that it is dead beyond resurrection. "The vengeful trinity of loot, labor, muPluimcy," it says, "has stabbed the ref erendum to death for all future time. The jMn of Cowgill, the arrow of bold Cock Robin, and the ham mer of the carpenters' union have done the business." The initiative and referendum in theory, and the in itiative and referendum in practice, appear to difl'er much. CONGRESSMAN LIVINGSTON Says Po-ru-na Is a Splendid Ca tarrhal Tonic. POSSIBILITIES OF WIRELESS TELEPHONY. To the mind of tho layman the achievement of wireless telegraphy should lead naturally and easily to wireless telephony. It is easy to understand, how ever, how the work of reproducing the vibrations of the human voice, through the transmission of etheric fey vfeA waves, might be a much more difficult matter than reproducing tho dots of the Morse alphabet. The dif ficulty would naturally arise from the necessity for a more complicated receiving and sending apparatus. The successful experiments by A. Frederick Collins in transmitting speech between Hartford, Conn., and East Hartford, and across Rockland lake in that state, tend to confirm the belief that wireless telephoning will require but slight modifications of the Marconi instrument and the Bell te ephone. In these experi ments articulate speech was communicated for a dis tance of a mile across water. It is claimed by the in ventor that he will soon perfect instruments that will permit of a conversation over a much longer distance.

Professor Pupin of Columbia university has al ready demonstrated the practicability of ocean tele phony with cables, but the Collins invention would do away with cables and wires altogether.

Coluiiitu, O The Coltiniltla Itivrr Srrn from a MUc(rnltttorl,lnp KxciimIoi Sleainer. Oswald West, of Astoria, formerly of Salem, has been appointed state land agent by Governor Cham berlain to succeed J. W. Morrow, who has held that office since last March. Mr. Morrow resigned to ac cept the position of tax agent for the O. R. & N. Com pany. The success of the Chautauqua at Oregon City is very creditable to the people of Oregon. It speaks for the best element, one seeking the higher things in life, and it is well that the people Bhould give it the nec essary financial support, as well as moral and intel lectual support. The assembly this year was one of the best. Terhaps it 18 true that there are not many real C. L. S. C. readers, but the interest taken is cred itable just the same. Albany Democrat. There are many people who have thought, perhaps still think, that the "initiative and referendum" is a sure cure for many and various legislative ills and maladies, eays the San Francisco Argonaut. To such, the brief story of the sudden rise and swift derni.se of Oregon's referendum measure may be interesting, pos sibly instructive. The required amendment to the constitution was submitted to the people and adopted in 18'J8. The Oregonian, the only big paper in Ore gon, supported it. But t-hortly after it was adopted, wild-cat mines tried to nullify a corporation tax, a railway tried to hinder the construction of a portage road, and last, but emphatically not least, the labor unions of Portland tried to invoke the referendum to nullify the legislature's appropriation of five hundred A.N important decision was rendered by the supreme court this week relating to hop contracts. The court hold9 that a dealer cannot replevin hops under an ex ecutory contract until all of the conditions of the agreement have been complied with. This decision is welcome news to the grower who, under the con tracting business, always get the short end of the bar gain. With but few exceptions, hop contracts that have been used in this state were unilateral in their construction, and no court would have sustained an attempt to enforce the provisions. The effect of the decision in this case will be the drafting of new con tracts that will be equally binding on the dealer and the grower. Disinfectants are more useful than perfumery, says a writer in Collier's. Some like the smell of hygiene, even if it fails to remind them of "the sweet south ihat breathes upon a bank of violets.'' A Tammany sachem has explained the difference between "dirty money" and "honest graft." Dirty money is black mail on crime, which all decent men condemn. Ilon- ef-t graft is the profit which politicians acquire, at the public expense, from inside knowledge about real es tate and contracts for public work. If a man's official position gives him information which may be used for the enrichment of himself or his friends, why not make the most of the opportunity and pass it aiound? The reformer who strikes effectively at genial and friendly dishonesty is likely to be so full of moral strenuousness that he will shock the refined and indif ferent taste more even than moderate immorality. Many, even among the cultivated, are better pleased by the calm, taciturn frankness of Richard Croker tlian by the moralist who goes about pounding at his neighbor's doors to see if they are breaking any nat ural or statutory law. He is likely to seem self-righteous and obtrusive, and, moreover, however honest he may be, he is likely to get hold of the wrong moral truth. Morality is like medicine. A drug inflames one condition which may cure another. The physi cian must not only have potent medicines, but use those which are suitable. Now political and business '.ife today in America shows an unfortunate amount of corruption. Disinfectants are something of which we stand in need. We have use for men of keen faith in morals, who will purge and defecate, scour, scrub andJ fumigate. The spoils and graft systems are encour aged by an entirely natural and human slackness, but so are leaky pipes and drains. It would doubtless pay us to tear up our present political system entirely and put in open plumbing. Men who help us to do that, like Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow and Circuit-Attorney Folk, fill a vital present need. It a cimtoin to apply far.i iful titlei to American rivers, mountains and lakes in simile to thune of other cour.triea. Thus we hear of "The American Khino," ' The Switrerland of America," "The American Alps," and soon, and here on the magnificent Columbia River, in all it wealth of icenery, we may fin J an oilier Khine. The towering onow-capped mountains, ROW", ravines, water-falls and even cataracts duplicate and even excel the fatuous scenery of Switzerland, and for the desire of being able to say "When I was abroad" thuiiHands of Americans are willing to he ignorant of their own country in not seeing some of the fineHt scenery of the world as is here on the Columbia. In- a tour of the West it is the thing to do, and the one thinic not to be missed the voyage on the Columbia river m tween Portland and The Dalles that is made in one day's daylight on hoard of the Hplendid boa's of the Keiiulator Line, and the people of Oregon and Washing ton ehould make it a point to remind their friends that are coming from the Kast not to miss making a trip on this beautiful river.
