berg of that exalted body gasp in
rage and astonishment. What! Are
not the ambassadors of severelgn
states at Washington to be heard as
representatives of their respective
governments touching affairs connect
ed with the relations of those gov
ernments to the one over which the
president is called to preside? Are
senators to be denied a hearing when
they tender counsel to the president
concerning his duty as to an emer
gency office? Or is the president to
set up his own idea of what may con
stitute an emergency office; in any
sovereign state, without the advice
and consent of the senators of that
state? The Florida senators did not
take thtir candidates to the White
House with them. They had conced
ed the right of the president to draw
the line at the actual and visible
presence. Rut the? were doubtless
unprepared for the announcement
that they themselves could not be
heard In support of the claims of
their friends.
We are rather inclined to the be
lief that this innovation will meet the
approval of public opinion. Hut there
need be no doubt as to what effect
It will have upon the Senate. And
there need be none as to the depress
ing effect it will have upon the my
riad Democrats who have been hop
ing that Mr. Wilson may suspend the

long time and easy terms, to Buch
men as can meet the tests. If the
movement has attained such propor

APPLE SUPPLIES ARE
OF POOR QUALITY
The Portland market is flooded with
extremely poor quality apples and
this is hurting the trade. Home stock
has been received from Hood Ulver
and White Salmon during the last
few days that will net the shipper a
loss to the amount of the frelsht
charges. One shipper, who Is well
known at The fialles, sent forward
apples that have on an average of
perhaps one apple to the box that Is
nenner rotten nor specked. Natural
ly this Is, having an elTect on the
trade.
Most of the apples now helng offer
ed are of small size and big fruit Is
really scarce and In demand. There
Is but little call for apples that are
smaller than the 4 12 tier size, but
a large percent of the recent arrivals
nn 5 eitr to the box and are really
of poor grade too.
Apple handlers are making com
plaint sliout this sort of stock being
shipped, ss it ruins the trrftje for good
fruit. They have sent hundreds of
letters to the country telling them not
to send forward such supplies, bnt
they continue to come and must be
handled.
