A QUESTION Eighteen assorted OF LEGALITY delegates from a handful of precincts met in Oregon I City Monday as a "steering commit tee" to nominate candidates for the recall election which may, or may not, be called in this county. Those backing the attempt to drag down from office County Judge Beatie and County Commissioner Blair have got ten together a few men, not united in any way in the campaign before tham and have seen to it that they nomin ated a man for county judge who is practically unknown in this district'; and a man for county commissioner, who, when he ran once before for the office, some five years ago, could not muster enough votes to get the phice at tha hands of the people. That this j man should be nominated by the dis gruntled ones is not particularly sur prising, as from the first peep cf this recall fiasco it has bean common gos sip that he was in the movement sole ly because he believed his vanity would ba tickled by the nomination. As to his running mate on the forlorn hope ticket, perhaps il is sufficient to say that the recall boosters desired to have him nominated because he is be lieved to have some few simoleons that he will put at the disposal of those who will conduct the campaign. The preliminary pleasantries dis posed of, chairman pro tem of the meeting, Ed Olds, told the eighteen delegates that the fight lyid but bare ly commenced, and that there must be unity of action henceforth if the great struggle was to be won. Ed Olds hit It square on the head when he said that. It is easy to nominate a ticket, even if eighteen delegates are "steer ed" to it as a horse may be lead to a drinking trough; but there the ease stops. Aside from the little thing of getting votes, it is a serious question if there can be a recall election. The law on the matter is extremely hazy so hazy, in fact, that the supreme court of the state is now trying to dis cover, for the benefit of recallers in Hood River, whether or not such a thing is possible. However, there are other problems. The law, drawn and passed by a great Demand For Gold Is Increasing By JOSEPH T. TALBERT, Vice President of the National City Bank of New York IT is LACK OF PKOTECTION BY CONCENTRATION which makes the stock of gold in the United States treasury and the banks an easy prey to the necessities of rival nations. This constitutes one of the very greatest and gravest points of our financial weakness. India is now taking from London slightly more than a quarter of the world's gold production. This gold is absorbed in trade or is HOARDED and scarcely any returns. The same is true of gold sent to Egypt and to South American states, particularly of that sent to Argentina in exchange for, food products and raw materials. WE BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THERE IS NO OVER PRODUCTION OF GOLD, BUT THAT IF TRADE CONTINUES TO EX PAND AND THE DEMAND FOR GOLD INCREASES IN THE SAME RATIO AS DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS WE SHAbL BE THREAT, EN ED WITH, IF NOT ACTUALLY CONFRONTED BY A REAL SHORT AGE. - ' One immediate effect of the reduced stocks of American and Euro pean gold will be to bring about a sharp decline in prices. Prices in the natural order of things cannot go on increasing indefinitely. Whether of commodities or of labor there is, and must be a limit, and that limit is determined by the available supply of gold which in turn determines and limits credit supply, y . ' ' f!

Dillman & Howland Weinhard Building and wise legislature, provides no .form for the nomination of candidates, nor for the placing of their names upon a ballot. Maybe a "steering board" I can get together and jam down the throats of eighteen delegates a "ticket" such as this formulated Mon day. Maybe that is legal. Maybe a convention, as in olden days, is the proper; how is the rest of the pro mary. This must ba seen to later. But suppose it is all correct and proper; now is the rest of the pro ceedure to ba gone about? The law gives no enlightenment, and there is no provision made for the financing of the campaign, either. Possibly the hastily, named finance committee will look out for that some weeks ago the organ of the recallers hinted that money would be forthcoming from patriots who were anxious to see the cause progress. Presumably, then, the finance committee will dig up the necessary cash. , This recall stunt seems to have gone off prematurely, before methods and ways have been discovered. Othrr recall stunts in this state have not had any too easy a pathway. Judge Eakin, in the Seaside case, handed down a decision that the present "steering committee" might well di gest and consider. It is easy to call a "convention" of eighteen, and to lead this convention to nomiate two men that seem to be good timber to those who are the power behind the throne. But it will not be so simple to have the rest of the necessities fol low in their proper sequence. The promoters of the move may ba able to force the delegates to bow to their will, but they will find it more diffi cult to twist and warp the statutes of the state which apparently, did not propose that there should be any re calls until the people set forth a man ner in which they might be held. The people not yet having provided these methods, it will be interestig to see the- "steering committee" attempt to do it for them. HOW TIMES Fifty-six years ago to DO CHANGE day the first cable news from the Old World was receiv ed by the St. Johns route. Today there are half a doze.i cables stretch ing under the Atlantic, and wireless communication over sea has been ac complished. But it is not of such wonders that the world today thinks, it is of the refinement of sending cable news. In 1857 cable news was really cable news and was laborious ly pounded out at great expense by operators on either side of the ocean. What is called cable news today is a far more wonderful thing. Recent investigations show that a certain New York daily, which is famed for it "cable news," received exactly 13 words of bona fide cable in oii 6 year, and that .the balance of j the information still warm from Eu ; rope came by what is known as the "gravevine route." Cable news most ly travels these days by letter and by imagination. At the last coronation in England examples of this were many. The program of events was sent out weeks ahead, it came to the American newspaper offices by mail, and there brilliant imaginationists took it alid wove about it a story of the happenings that probably would occur, and released this news to a waiting continent at the hour when tha coronation was Dilled to occur. What skill they used In thus building up this story is shown by the fact that they missed but one detail of the act ual occurrence and that was the fainting at the coronation of a notable duchess. Otherwise their account was perfect, and just as good as cable. . Such are tne wonders of modern times. The cable is used only in case of emergency as a medium of ship ping from one side of the world to the other items, of news. When earth quake or sudden death occurs, then the cable earns its salt the rest of the time it is only a safeguard utilized to prevent the publication of "grape vine" in regard to secheduled events that have been postponed at the last, minute. Newspaper history is still ripe with stories of "cable" news that actually beat out the happenings themselves such as the announce ment in New York, through a lucky fluke of the death of Queen Victoria actually seven minutes before it had occurred. When the error was cor rected late majesty had already died, so the correction was not needed. People talk of the wonders of tha submarine cable. It is truly wonder ful:1 But it is not half as wonderful as the transmission of thought which is practiced in most "cable news of fices," whereby the happenings of a whole year may Tie recounted at tlie total expenditure of 13 words of real cable news. That is an achievement that puts the actual cable far in the rear as one of the seven marvels of the world in fact it is nothing short of a miracle. "THIS IS MY 5TH. BIRTHDAY" . Infante Don Jaime . The Infante Don Jaime, second son of the King and Queen of Spain, was born at La Granja Palace, near Mad rib, July 22, 1908. From his birth the little prince has been deaf and dumb. For a long time no one outside the palace knew of the child's infirmity, and there it was scarcely mentioned except in whispers. The late premier Senor Canal ejas, announced two years ago that the little prince had a form of tuberculosis which prevented him from hearing or tailing. Spanish specialists adjudged him incurable. One of them performed a difficult op eration without beneficial result. The child was sent to the sanitarium of a celebrated physician in Switzerland, but he returned tie same condition as before. Don Jaime is at present un der the care of Valenciau nuns, whose mission in life is to educate tha deaf and dumb. Acarding to report he is making gratifying progress in his studies.

Right and Left Hands. As regards the ruorai significance of the riht and left hands, a highland friend who is something of a Gaelic scholar gives me the interesting infor mation that in Gaelic the right and left hands become respectively the "south" hand and the "north" band. The moral aspect of it comes out in the Gaelic idea of the south as rich, well favored and fortunate and the north as the reverse. In the "south" hand are carried- riches' and honor. The north handed man is unlucky. And now we" know why it is so many Scotsmen go southward! London Chronicle. , OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BEGINS its forty -fifth, school year September 19. 1913.
