CANNOT JUSTIFY CANDIDACY.
The inconsistency of Bourne is ex
emplified in his independent candi
dacy for the Senatorship. Bourne vig
orously champions the direct primary
law so long as he and his friends re
ceive favorable recognition and cov
eted political office. But when the
other fellow wins out under the oper
ation of the same law, Bourne is the
first to repudiate the system and to
urge its repudiation by the electorate.
Bourne cannot justify his independent
candidacy. In entering the contest
for the Governorship, he proves him
self an enemy of the direct primary
of which he is the professed friend and
defender.

A tree that is a freak of nature is
the Asiatic star tree. It grows sixty
to eighty feet tall, and fora height of
about forty feet the trunk is wholly

number of tangled limbs, which shoot
out clusters of long pointed leaves, aud
these, grouped together, emit at night

Th Purse.
The invention of the purse was
doubtless contemporaneous with that

Old Testament history as a part of a

spoken of in the gospels, were sent
forth to preach they were commanded
to take neither gold nor silver nor
brass In their purses.

The Old River Hadn't Changed Very Much
HAPPY FARMERS
They Have Every Cause for Joy on
the Next Thanksgiving Day.
From the Detroit Free Press, Sept. 12,
1912:
A marvelously fortunate year is this
of 1912 for this land 6f ours. The
government crop report yesterday re
news once more the proof that all
things are uniting for the welfare of"
Americans. Tt is an amazing show
ing, 300,000,000 bushels of spring
wheat being reported as in sight,
where last year the yield was only
190,000,000 bushels, and the year be-
fore 200,000,000. Added to the winter
wheat, which in spite' of the soft wheat I
losses in our own section of the coun
try, will still pass the 1911 mark, the
total yield of this grain will run well
above 700,000,000 bushels, and if pri
vate advices are reliable, even above
800,000,000 bushels.
We have had but two years in the
past when the 700,000.000 mark was
passed, 1906 and 1901, and the outlook
is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that
of either of these.
Nor is wheat the only crop that is j
practically assured of reaching record
figures. Corn, potatoes, barley, rye
and some others are already in the I
class of bumper yields. The indica- I
tions amount- to assurance that they
will all exceed any previous aggre
gate. While the American fields are teem
ing with their produce across the
ocean is heard the cry of distress
Cold weather and prolonged rainfall
have played havoc there. The land
is sodden and unfriutful. What crops
have grown are drowning in flood
The American farmer, with his barns
bulging with the yield of is acres
' will get big prices for is big stock
! of food supplies.
I A bountiful harvest, and a -strong
i demand should make the farmer of
I this country a happy man on Thanks
i giving day.
BRIGHTENING WEEKS.
From the New York Commercial, Sept.
11, 1912:
"Each week is more auspicious than
its predecessor in the auspicious prom
ise of a great business year. This
implies according to the laws of trade
chances several to succeed it. . With
immense uniform crops as a founda
tion, accompanied by conditions in the
Old World much less favorable, it
gives this country a place of vantage
which it has rarely if ever experi
enced, so concurrently Co '-lie general
facts at home and abroaC run in our
favor.
A significtnt fsct is that New York
for the last week has been put to its
trumps to accomodate adequately
the immense ttront of business vis
itors. No city la better supplied frith
such resource? of hospitality, but they
have been traind to the uttermost
since the middle of August. There is
nothing; in-the capacity of our trans-
T)0rt.tiorl Ht)s T-'hich does not fully
conjoin with the sansuine outlook that
prevadei the whole country.
While all the activities of trads are
! notable now they will ba vastly more
so in a
few weeks.

Governor Wilson Turns Out

Photos bv American Press Association
ECAUSE Governor Woodrow Wilson had been a college professor and
president and had been in active, politics only two years there were
many in the Democratic party who professed to fear that the New
Jersey executive would make a poor campaigner. But just the re
verse has proved true Governor Wilson has turned out to be a strong can
didate on the stump. He is making the same favorable impression in the
national field that he did in his home state when running for governor lie
is as democratic as Bryan ever was. His speeches are logical, forceful and
effective His professional training enables him to be convincing, and. last,
but not least, he is amusing. His stories hit the nail on the head, and they
make people listen. During the early part of October he goes on another
western trip, speaking at Omaha. St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and Spring
field. 111. On his previous trips to the west and to the New England states
large crowds greeted him. .

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES
SPEAK AT FROG POND
The Democratic candidates for
county offices addressed a large crowd
at Frog Pond Monday evgning. Among
those who spoke were Gilbert Hedges
nominee for district attorney; E. T.

nominee for assessor; M. E. Gaffney,
nominee for recorder and P. S. Noy-
er, nominee for representative in tne
legislature.
T
HE foregoing extracts from the news and editorial c-1 J
umns of the newspapers have been selected almost at
random-and numerous as they are they represent Iri;
a fragment of the innumerable'stories with which t..c
papers of this happy country are filled day by day. J
Aren't they splendid stories? Can any American read J
them without a thrill of pride and satisfaction?
And when we stop, to think of it, men and brc'.hren, r.nist
we not realize that the concrete facts they present are of im- f
measurably more value and importance than ail the theories,
all the fine spun fads and fancies, that were e-er invented. How i:
trivial,-how like sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, seems all
the talk about "bosses" and "initiatives" and "referendums.'' i
about this or that petty "issue," in the presence of the splendid -
FACT that there is peace and plenty in all the land, that men
are busy and women are happy and little children are fed and -s
clothe d'l "
All these things have come to us under the law we now
have, through the sanity and sense and wisdom of the great
J party that is now in power.

SILL, SAYS PAPER
J An act that should be voted down
u No. 318-319, providing for the di-
' vision of Clackamas county, and the
! formation of) a new county to he
known as Cascade. The Register '
: knows nothing of the merits of this
; Eugene Register. j
' particular plan for division, nor does
it especially care to. It is a local mat-,
ter purely and simply, and is of inter-1
est only to the territory concerned, ;
within and without the new boundar- ;
' ies. The re:t of the people of the
stats do not care whether a new eoun- ;
ty 'is formed or not, and should not j
, be asked to make a decision, says the
Th present law requiring the for-
' mation of new counties to be submit-.
' ted to a vote of the people is a poor
one, an:l all effort to divide counties
. under its provisions should be defeat
ed. Neither is another measure pro
viding for the division of counties that
will appear on the ballot, and that will
be discussed later a good one. The
only fair and just law that has ever
been proposed was submitted to the
legislature by the Lane county dele
gation four years ago and wa; passed,
but fcr reasons unknown, Governor
ChF.mberlain vetoed it.
