HOW TO RAISE William Stuart, an
GOOD POTATOES expert in the
bureau" of plant industry, attributes
the gradual advance in the cost of po
tatoss during the past decade to the
fact that production has failed to keen
up with the increasing population.
Mr. Stuart attributes this to the u3e
of poor seed potatoes and makes a
good showing for this claim by point
ing out that the average yield in Ger
many and Great Britain is approxi
mately 200 bushels to the acre, while
in the United States it i3 not quite 9M
bushels to the acre.
Selection of the best seeds in wheat
and corn has proved that it results in
much bigger crops and it is not un
reasonable to suppose that the selec
tion of the best seed potatoes would
result in increasing the potato yield.
Mr. Stuart says good seed potatoes
may be obtained by the unit and hill
selection method through the elimin
ation of unproductive or weak plants.
UPON BEING The railroad cominis
FAIR AND JUST sion has ordered
the Clackamas Southern in install and
'stand the complete cost of an inter
- locking plant at its crossing with tha
"Southern Pacific, in Oregon City. In
stating its reasons for this, the com
mission sets forth that the crossing
is a menace to the safety of the pub
lic a it now stands, and that it is
advisable that an interlocking plant,
be put in within 120 days, and that
such a plant be of a type' approved by
the commission.
. It would seem that the commission
is somewhat overdoing things. Th
crossing cannot possibly be a menace
at the present time to the public or
to passengers upon the Southern Pa
cific, because the Clackamas Southern
is not in operation. It has not even

reached that stage where it has ap
plied for tariffs on freight business.
There is used upon it one small loco
motive, one flat car and a hand-car,
nona of which cross the Southern Pa
cific unless a flagman goes ahead to
see that the track is clear.
It is no secret that Southern Pacific
interests hava put every- possiblo
sumbiing block in the way of the
Clackamas Southern, and it appears
as if, in this instance, the larger road
had persuaded the stata commission
that this interlocking plant was an
immediate necessity. Question, as tc
the justice of the order may be rais
ed because the requirements call
for the establishment of home and
distant signals on the line of the
Southern Pacific, but only "home
signals on the Clackamas Southern.
In commenting upon this order the
commission says distant signals ar5
not required on the Clackamas South
ern "because of the topography."
As a matter of fact, if distant sig
nals are needed anywhere, they are
needed on the Clackamas Southern,
because that road approaches tha
cross-over on a curve, from which the
crossing cannot be saan;. while the
Southern Pacific track for some dis
tance on either side of the crossing
is a tangent. However, it will be
more difficult for tha Clackamas
Southern to install signals upon the
opposing road, both because it will
have to so time its work so as to not
interfere with Southern Pacific traf
fic, and because the Southern Pacific
rails are bonded for an automatic
block system. Of course, this may be
a mere coincidence, but under the cir
cumstanca it hardly 3eems to be 3S
perfectly fair as the orders of tha
state commission should be.
The Clackamas Southern will doubt
less conform with the order of tha
commission. It will cost it in the
neighborhood of $30,000 so to do, and
it will have to bear all this cost. Yet
it would seem a matter of fairness
that this expense should be flivided
between the two roads, for it will
'protect tha traffic on both of them.
In fact it will be a greater protection
to the Southern Pacific, because that
road will always operate a greater
traffic than the home line. The rul
ing and order may be made in good
faith, but it is unfortunate that it is
made in the manner given, and at
this time. It will not make the aver
age citizen increase his faith in the
state commission, nor will it make the
average person feel any mora kndly
disposed towards the more powerful
line.

WILY WOMAN WON
She Made Up Her Mind to Get
That News, and She Got It
A FINE FIX FOR A PRESIDENT.
Anna Royall, the Mother of Newspaper
Interviews, Tricked John Quincy
Adams and Badgered Him Into Giv
ing Up the Information She Wanted.
In clearing the ground for some im
provements iu Potomac park iu Wash
ington the contractor some time ago
removed a stone that for nearly a een
tury was a quaint landmark in the na
tional capital. It is called the "Anne
Royall stone" and lay on the bank
of the river just opposite the White
House, about .twenty feet back from
the water's edge, at the top of a grass
covered knoll. .
It was on this stone that Anne Roy
all sat when sbe had her famous inter
view with President John Quincy Ad
ams at least, so runs the story that
has been banded down for three gen
erations by the inhabitants of Wash
ington. And. according to that story. It would
appear that the good lady for whom
the stone was named was not only a
person of energy, but was endowed
with considerable grim determination
as well. She evidently had a good
strong will of her own and an active
mind ot her own. and when these two
started to work in concert iu deadly
earnest results were bound to follow
Whether the good lady's sense of hu
mor was cramped or extensive the
reader must determine for himself.
Anne Royall was in a sort the mother
of modern journalism. She was the
origiuator of the "interview " She first,
in the little sheet that sbe published
in Washington in the second and third
decades of the last century, departed
from the dry forms that had always
characterized newspapers.
She did not confine herself to a mere
summary of current happenings, even
spiced with careful essays on abstract
subjects, after the manner of Steele
or Addison She struck firmly the "per
sonal uote." She wrote and printed
things about public men as they were
iu their daily lives an innovation the
startling effect of which we cannot re
alize today. Her paper was called the
Washington Paul Pry and afterward
the Huntress
During the administration of John
Quincy Adams congress passed a cer
tain bill, the signing or veto of which
by the president was a' matter of in
tense public interest. In those days
the Interview of the president by a
newspaper man was unheard of. and
no one had the temerity to ask Mr.
Adams what he would do in the matter.
But there was one exception among
the timorous journalists of that day.
It was A Hue Royall'. She dared to ap
ply at tbe White House for a confer
ence with the president, the avowed
object of which was to learn from bim
his intentions concerning the bill. .
I'ooi Anne, however, was kept at a
discouragius distance. Day after day
she waylaid the president, only to be
foiled by his attendants. But she did
not grow discouraged. She learned
that every morning, immediately after
rising, the president walked to tbe
bauk ot the Potomac, some half a mile
in the rear ot ihe White House, and
there, after taking off his clothes,
plunged into the stream for a swim.
One morning wheu the president,
after swimming far out into tbe stream,
turned to make bis way back toward
the shore Oe was astonished to see.

John E. Lamb, Slated as
Ne Ambassador to Mexico
IMPORTANCE attaches to the report from Washington tbat John B. Lamb
of Indiana has been selected by President Wilson to be ambassador to
Mexico to succeed Henry Lane Wilson. It was said at the time the se
lection was made public that Mr. Lamb's name might not be sent to the
senate until October, when the presidential election Is held in Mexico. The
Wilson administration has not formally recognized the Huerta regime, and thia
was given as the reason why the appointment was withheld at this time. Mr
Lamb is a close friend of Secretary of State Bryan, whose wishes were para
mount in filling this post because of the peculiar relations existing between the
two countries If Mr. Lamb goes to Mexico City he will find the task awaiting
him no easy one. for it is said the feeling against the Americans is more bitter
than ever before, and the country is still in turmoil.
Specialization
A great deal is said in a dis
paraging way about tha modern
tendency toward specialization.
The time was when barbers
were .also doctors when you could
get a man who would pull your
tooth or shoe your horse with
equal willingness; when a woman
wanting the ruffles for her under
skirt "pinked," would take, them
to the undertakers to be done.
Thers may have been a certain
unique charm about such com
binations of occupations, but the
quality of the service rendered
must have been somewhat uncer
tain. Nowadays practically every man
and woman in the productive bus
iness world, works along sonje
certain well-defined line. The re
sult of this specialization is
shown in the immense advance
these has been in the quality and
variety of articles put into the
market for general consumption:
The medium through which the
public is informed of the best of
these articles and their place of
sale is the advertising columns
of the reliable newspapers.
Local dealers should co-operate
with and "hustle" for the manu
facturers who use local newspa
per advertising to exploit tha
products they handle.

erican Newspaper Publishers As- .

SATIRICAL.
In Queeu Anne's reign there
lived a very sage and able critic
named Dennis, who in his old
age was the prey of a strange
fancy that he bad himself writ
ten all the good things in all the
good plays that were acted. Ev
ery good passage he met with In
any author he. insisted was his
own". "It is none of his," Dennis
would always say. "No; it's
miueT' He went one day to see
a new tragedy. Nothing partic
ularly good to his taste occur
red till a scene in which a great -storm
was represented. As soon
as he heard the thunder rolling
over his head be exclaimed,
"That's my thunder!" So it is
with the honorable and learned
gentleman. It's all his thunder.
It will henceforth be impossible
to confer any boon or make any
innovation but he will claim it
as his thunder. George Canning

Cold Blooded Animals.
The so called cold blooded animals
vary , from the warm blooded in the
particular that their blood changes
temperature in accordance with their
surroundings. The temperature of a
fish will be almost exactly the same as
that, of tbe water around it, possibly
one or two degrees higher. A snake's
temperature is higher in summer than
in winter, the average being 82 de
grees. A bird's average temperature is
107. The average temperature of the
mammals is 101 degrees

RACE PREJUDICE.
The race problem has been a
stumbling block to nations. It
is easy to decry the folly of race
prejudices. But we- are not all
philosophers. And it is too harsh
to blame only the Calif ornians
for their dislike of aliens differ
ent in race. The Greeks and
Romans, the Hebrews and Hin
dus, the Chinese aud Japanese,
even the Teutons and the Anglo
Saxons, have during their his
tory often shown a disposition
to regard themselves as the only
chosen sons of God. and to place
other races under tbe ban of
"barbarians" or "inferiors.'" Nor
do I Ignore the indisputable fact
of an inequality existing among
races, as there is such an in
equality among human beings of
the same race. Injustice comes
only when the color of the skin
is made the sole criterion of in
feriority. Dr Toyokichi Iyena
