It does not stand alone among older states in which orchard destruction has been going- on. The same reports of poorer quality of fruit come from New York and from the Ohio val ley. It is necessary, in entering into the fruit-growing industry, to take a rather broader view than in the pro duction" of annual crops. Destruction of a productive tree takes an asset that it has required years to produce and will take years to replace. Mean while temporary "overproduction" becomes a thing of the past, "the cycle inevitably repeats itself, and those who regarded their business as a life work reap the reward. This is one of the particulars in which horticulture differs from agri culture. And the true horticulturist, of course, takes care of his trees even in the off years. ' There is no known limit to the life of a scientifically-kept orchard, but it is easy to destroy the efforts of a lifetime with a few hours' labor with an ax. make so many permanent friends for us among the people scattered over a territory comprising nearly a million square miles. Breeders of fine stock from the nature of their calling are men of substance and enterprise. They will first come to see and learn. Seeing and learn ing, it is conceivable that they will ship their stock to Portland yards. More or less gradually, they will grow to regard Portland as their re serve banking center and trading point. Bringing with them their wives and families, being apprised by degrees of our educational advan tages, and establishing social and domestic as well as commercial ties, they will, we believe, some day come to look on Portland as home. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished, a not too remote possibility of the exposition now in progress and one certain to be realized if our vis itors are made to comprehend the true warmth of the hospitality which every Portlander must feel. THE LEAGIE CRISIS. Eack in Oklahoma, the other day, there was a special election in the fifth congressional district to name the successor of Representative Thompson, who had died. Mr. Thompson, a democrat, had been elected in 1916 by the comfortable plurality of 6000, and in 1918, when the republicans were generally suc cessful throughout the nation, he had nearly as great a margin of safety. Now a republican has been chosen "by about 1000 plurality in a district which has usually been held secure by the democracy. The reason in part is to be found in the general dissatisfaction with the national administration and the restored prestige of the opposition; but only in part. It would not wholly account for a reversal so sudden and so marked. The explanation lies in the league of nations. It was the issue in Oklahoma. The republican can didate stood "for the league with res-' crvations, which is in accord with the general attitude of his party, and the democratic candidate supported the covenant as it stands. In other words, he was with the administra tion and the administration senators who throughout a long and stubborn fight had accepted the autocratic dictum of the White House that there must be no alteration, or modi fication, or revision whatsoever, even to the substitution of a single word. The answer of the voters was an un mistakable repudiation of President Wilson and his league. It was not less distinctly a pronouncement for a league, but with reservations which are designed to define the American policy within the league. It is not too much to say that the position of the people of Oklahoma Is a reflection of general opinion and desire throughout the United States. The great body of American .citizen ship, acknowledging their duty and responsibility to other nations, and conscious of their international lead ership and the respect and confidence of the world, have their own consent ' to enter a league: but they would remove all reasonable ground for misunderstanding or misinterpreta tion by declaring beforehand what they will do and what they will not do, or permit to be done, so far as exclusive American interests are eon rerned. This is their mandate to the United States senate, as expressed ei plicitly in Oklahoma and as shown Implicitly by the trend of sentiment everywhere. Only here and there is a voice raised against membership in any league: but .all, or nearly all flre for peace, stability, order and progress in all nations, and agree that the best chance for them is through an international compact. President Wilson has understood lhat the American public was for a league, and all it promises and im plies: but he has failed to under stand that he was not given a com mission to go alone to Paris and speak for the United States. He has sought to interpret the common con sent for a league into a mandate on the senate to ratify unconditionally the league he brought back from Paris, and he was mistaken. He ha not consulted at any time the United States senate, which is under th constitution the executive's partner In the making of treaties, but he has Pt his convenience and in his own fashion made conversational reports to certain senators. He has rejected fct all times until now all appeals for amendment, or reservation, or Interpretation and he has required Ills representatives in the senate, doubtless against their will, to stand or fall by the written word. Kow we see that the two factions of the senate have reached an impasse, from which it can be extricated only by the exercise of moderation and cool judgment on both sides. Of the ninety-six senators it is a fair esti mate that eighty are for A league, Rnd of tho eighty less than forty are for THE league: and about fifteen or sixteen' are for no league. It will be a sad (Commentary on American political methods If the sixteen sena tors shall In tho end triumph over the eigrhfy and emerge from the many months' debate with no league. CALVIN C GANTEXBEIX. The death of Judge Gantenbein is received by the public with pained surprise. Few men in Portland were more widely known; and few had led a more active life. He was just past the meridian, and he was apparently iri robust health. His going illus trates anew the tenuousness of the tie that holds all mortal beings. Foi some it breaks soon; for all it breaks inevitably. Judge Gantenbein had served use fully and Jionorably on the bench of Multnomah for ten or more years. He had an excellent record there; but his best remembered service was as a soldier. He had as a young man entered the Oregon national guard and earned promotion through vari ous grades until he became colonel of the Third regiment. He responded to his country's call and followed the flag to the Philippines, where he acquitted himself gallantly under ire. Again he sought to enter the service in the war with Germany, having a commission as colonel in the reserve; and he attended the first officers' training camp at the Pre sidio, accepting the lot there of the private soldier; but the government saw fit to impose conditions upon him which he thought he could not accept and he returned to the bench His long and conspicuous connection with the national guard will not soon be forgotten by the men who served with or under him, nor by the public. Judge Gantenbein was a linguist and was once a teacher of foreign languages. He was always a stu dent and his decisions were marked by care, clearness and .egal under standing. He had the confidence of many friends and he sought always to requite it. As a dean of the Ore gon law school he came in contact with many novitiates in the profes sion, and to them he was always neiprui and sympathetic. He was a political figure of consequence, and his service in such circles will be missed. Altogether his career touched numerous angles, and his passing will be occasion for general regret. SHORT CCf AROU"0 THE WORLD. With all the exuberance of youth Lord Fisher, the aged builder of the modern British na-vy, proposes a new, quick line of communication for the greater part, of the distance around the world, which may stagger some people with its magnitude but will also stagger others with its Sim- the Washington mines voted to work, i but were induced to rescind that ac- i tion. Some Wyoming miners went ; into the mines, but were "persuaded" , by Austrian radicals to come out again. Whence comes the Initiative of these movements? Samuel Gompers' defiant utter ances on the eve of formal submis sion by the miners officials may have been more than an empty boast. The injunction does nofc,ap ply to him or to the funds of the American Federation of Labor. It does not apply to the railroad broth erhoods, which have taken as strong ground as Mr. Gompers in favor of the unlimited right to tie up the whole country by strikes. Attorney General Palmer might discover that these organizations have taken over the conduct and financing of the strike in the hope" of proving that the people are powerless to prevent success of a strike in any great in dustry and therefore must submit to the dictation of any compactly or ganized minority of the population. It is welcome news that word has been passed to the coal conference that action is regarded by the fed eral authorities as absolutely im peratiie, and that Fuel Administra tor Garfield Is prepared to present the situation to the conference forc ibly. But more is needed than' has tening action by the conference. The supremacy of the government must be established, for that means the Stars and Star-makers. By Leoa Ca.a Baer. EVA TANGUAT has had her face done over. She had the good sense to leave her figure alone. Heaven has been good to the Irre pressible Eva from her toes to her neck, but her face has not been her fortune, sir, in many years. So Eva took matters into her own fair hands. It came about because Eva aspires to be a picture actress. A year ago she made a venture into the motion- picture game. The quoted report of the director when her first appearances were run on the screen savors more of the truthful than elegant- What the director said is. in part (as we say In the paper when we don't want to run the whole thing).

It rnust prove a letter to the London Times explains that the law of the United States is his scheme as follows: supreme over tne law oi any private association, and that the rights of all the people are superior to the actual or pretended rights of any associa tion or any industry. We hear many vociferous asser tions of the rights of "the people' by men and bodies of men who really mean rights claimed for parts of the the whole people. These men are simply enlarged du plicates of the three tailors of Tooley street who issued a proclamation in the name of "We, the people of Eng land." The people of England did not accept the rule of the three tailors, and the people of the United States do not accept that of their imitators. The audacity of these iml tators has grown with continued weak concessions by the admlnistra tion for political ends until radicals have gained control of the labor unions and use them in an effort to control the government for the pur pose jof destroying it. Slowly the administration has realized the truth that it has been sowing cockles in the American wheat field, which have grown up into a bountiful crop of I. W.

The distance is short across a pen insula from Blacksod bay to Achill, whence a railroad runs to Lame in Antrim, on the northeast coast. The tube would cross the North channel to Stranraer, at the head of Loch Ryan, in the southwest corner of Scotland. Thence the route to Bag dad would be complete but for the tubes under the English channel, which are now seriously projected, and the Bosphorus, and the con struction of the short remaining stretch of the Bagdad railroad. The , CVTTINO HOWN ORCHARDS. In the long run the producer who !s too much influenced by the breeze of every " passing public fancy be t-omes a loser. The report of the state department of agriculture of Mis souri, which shows that tho number of apple trees in that state is only hnlf as great as it was in 1910, illus trates tho point. The further state ment that this year's crop is only per cent of normal as to quality and 48 per cent as to quantity is also significant. Deterioration in quality shows that growers have already be Iran to neglect their fruit trees, which Jit the .end is sure to result in fur ther loss of markets and finally in destruction of more orchards. Horticulture in this country ha passed through several periods com parable to this one. Within recent memory there was an epidemic o uprooting prune orchards, the resul of a brief period of low prices with ft poor crop or two, in Washington and Oregon. How much this has cost growers it is impossible to esti mate, but the number who more recently have been trying to get new nursery stock and not always getting it indicate that a good many would THE LIVESTOCK SHOW. Looking backward, from the van tage ground of the splendid livestock exhibition now being held in the ne.v building in North Portland, on the seven previous expositions that have been held in temporary quarters, one may wonder that the latter were tolerated jis long as they were. Yet the past has furnished its lessons, one of which has been that the stock men of the northwest are loyal, al most to a man, to Portland; that if they endured inferior quarters and poor accommodations it was because they had faith that these would sooner or later bo remedied; and that, probably, they saw -through it all the logic of the event. The ad vantage to the livestock industry of holding the annual exposition at this point has been apparent from the beginning. Now, thanks largely to the loyal co-operation of these men, the real beginning has been made. From the dust and mud and ashes of the tents in which the first shows were held colossal new building has arisen al most like magic and the exposition holds forth in its own home. The ex position still is, as its successors will be, a Portland institution in the sense that it is held in Portland, bu Portland owes a debt of gratitude to the exhibitors who lent their aid in financing the enterprise, and with out whose constant future help all of our labor and theirs will come to naught. Portland, even Oregon, can not hold a great exposition unas sisted. All that either can do is to set the stage ready for the ringing up of the curtain. If the curtain ises on empty stalls, the show will die. There is, however, nothing in he present situation to justify any thing but optimism. The showing now being made, the great number pf en tries and, in particular, the excellent quality of the stock on exhibition, point to permanent and increasing success. Geographically, Portland is the strategic point for the great live stock exposition of the west. On thu north, we have the great Canadian provinces to draw from; on the east the vast region extending from the Great Lakes on the north to Arizona on the south. It is noteworthy that In the present show there are ex hibits representing all of the terri tory mentioned. When, a few months ago, the ques tion of adding to the daylight show of meat and milk animals and draft horses, a night show for the benefit ofc saddle, carriage, coach and othe classes of hunters, roadsters and work horses, some said that we lacked the horses, the riders, the drivers and the horse lovers and en thusiasts. Hence, said the pessi mists, such a show would not pros per here as like events have pros pered at Chicago, New York and Kansas City. It was only the argu ment of guess work; but now we have the argument of fact to show that the pessimists were wrong and the optimists right, for some 4000 paid admissions was the record both on Monday night and Tuesday night. A fair estimate for the six nights woul;i be close to 30,000 admissions. It is necessary in estimating the benefits to Portland from holding these annual affairs to understand that they are not expected to yield large or immediate cash dividends. The stockholders undoubtedly would be well enough pleased if they even tually realized 5 or 6 per cent on the investment. But indirectly, the peo ple at home perhaps have never be fore put money into a venture with more brilliant promise of growth and stability.

' "I should be perturbed." remarked Eva. "If my face doesn't suit you. I'll change it. I don't care." Which is the first chapter. Chapter two will follow Imme diately. . . Today Eva is on her way, plus a new face, to motion-picture land. The puffs under the eyes which have interested the first ten rows many a night are gone. The chin which used to sag matronly is as rounded as an athletic schoolgirl's. The dimples are faint dents In peachy cheeks. In a "surgeon's operating room in New York the miracle came about. The flesh was drawn tightly upward and backward from the bones of the face and a sharp knife applied to the bulges. A pound, nearly, was taken out by two incisions. The scars are covered by the mass of TUngOay hair. Eva's two extra chins were next trimmed down. The operation was the same in this case. "This is chapter three, still on the subject of Eva. A Chicago account of her departure says: "Eva Tanguay left here yesterday in the private car, Columbia, for Hollywood, Cal., where she has a magnificent residence, purchased by her last winter. Before going west Miss Tanguay disposed of all ef her holdings in the east, including real estate in and around New York city. Eddie Weber, musical director for Miss Tanguay, accompanied -'her to the coast. Miss Tanguay abandoned an auto tour across the country because it was too much of a strain, to engage the private car for $2100. She en gaged it so that she could carry two dogs, a spaniel and a poodle. Told that she would not be allowed to take the pupa in a stateroom Miss Tanguay had reserved, Bhe turned them over to a woman here to mind. Next morning she sent for them again, saying ahe hadn't slept all night over the thought of her pets In strange hands. She then hired the car. and at the last moment was told she couldn't take the canines abroad that, either, but she managed to obtain a special dispensation per mitting it. ' George M.

Thosj Who Come and Go. A Los Angeles lawyer is working as a common sailor on board a ship in order to qualify himself thorough!; as chief counsel for the Seamen's un ion, to defend the federal seamen's act before the supreme court of the United States. This is interesting, whether it be done from devotion to the cause, a desire for notoriety or for advertising purposes, says the Sacramento Bee. But it is scarcely probable that any Justices of the court will in like manner seek to Im prove their ability to understand and determine tho points in issue. And it might not be amiss to remark that I creek. either Andrew Puruseth or Walter Macarthur could make a better show ing for the seamen even before the supreme court than any admitted lawyer for either is a perfect en cyclopedia of the maritime laws of all ages and all countries.

The hotel, which will have a park as an annex, will be constructed like a Swiss chalet, with wide porch, fire places and everything. Mr. Wriaht is the political boss of his end of the county, and scarcely anyone thinks of even oting for the constable without first consulting L.

This Is an error and from well known independence of your paper we think was thought lessly made. Permit me to say as an American born citixen and pioneer of Oregon. I would not preside at any meeting which did not have the greatet-t re spect and loyalty for the flag of our country and the principles and tradi tions it represents.
