Entered at the Posioffice at Jacksonville, Ore., as Second Class Mall Matter W hile in Paris Wm. J. Bryan ventured the prediction that Roosevelt would be nominated next year and de feated. He said before the election next fall matters of a serious financial na ture will arise which will result in Mr. Roosevelt's downfall. T he good-roads movement will grow until substantial results are realized in the way of systematic road building, because its importance demands it. When people realize the expensiveness of bad roads, they will demand the cbe*pe*t roads, which are good, hard roads that can be used with facility every day in the year. Bad roads are a heavy tax on the people who use them, and the tax fa'ls most heavily upon the farmersand producers. Good roads, once paid for, are a perpetual saving to travel and transportation. O regon is a great “apple” state, but there are others On December 1, 1903, there were seven states in each of which more than 100,000 barrels ofap pies were in cold storage. New York headed the list with 907,000 barrels; Illinois was second with 564,000 barrels: Missouri had 527,000 barrels; Pennsyl vania bad 220,000; Ohio 135.800; Massa chusetts 118,000 and Indiana 107,500 Besides the aj. ies in cold storage in each of otherstates,many hundred thou sand barrels of the fruit were in com mon storage. P ortland ’ s mayor is being grilled unmercifully by priests, preachers and ministerial associations and moral re formers, for fining the gamblers of that city whom he has tried in vain with the present police service of Port land to drive out of business. Nobody questions the honesty of purpose of George H. Williams in his course as mayor, and his impractical critics would probably find themselves more hope lessly at sea than he, were some of them called upon to deal with the mon strous vices of Portland. It is easy to criticise. It is difficult to act. Men who are good critics in the pulpit and office chairs would be dismal failures as mayors. T he Portland postoffice is being in vestigated. It is rumored that Post master Bancroft took something like a thousand dollars from the cash drawer and left his tag to account for the lack of balance. That was all right before the days of civil service, when the clerks depended on the postmaster for their jobs—nothing then would have been said about such temporary use of government funds. Now the under clerks are secure in their positions and their chief cannot depend on their loyalty. A clerk aware of the shortage might have a grudge against his supe rior, may have a friend who would make a good postmaster, says the Guard. A BROAD statement of the irriga tion question was made by Senator W. A. Clark in his address before the last Na tional Irrigation Convention. Taking as a basis the area of the semi-arid por tion of the West, which aggregates about 600,000,000 acres, one-sixth of which there is water enough to Irrigate if properly conserved and distributed, he stated his belief that if this Govern ment would spend 110,000,000 annually for thirty years, thoroughly irrigating 20.000,000 acres, it would provide homes for from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 people. As this sum could be realized from the sale of the lands, the investment would be a good one, provided it were possi ble to keep the fraudulent land-seeker out. I t is reported that a bill is soon to oe presented to the Minnesota legisla ture, that provides that “any printed report of a crime, except according to the rules provided, shall be considered a misdemeanor, and the publisher or manager of the offending paper shall be fined not less than 8100 nor more than 8500, or in default of fine, shall serve not to exceed 90 days in jail.” The rules provide that, among other things, reports of crimes shall be print ed in small type, that is, type of the ordinary size, that they shall be print ed without headlines, that a mere state ment of facts shall be given, and that the reports shall be unaccompanied by either pictures or sketches. The fram er of the bill is said to be a woman, Mrs. McGowen of Minneapolis. T he government of Denmark spent •500,000 last year for the purpose of making more farmers. Any laborer in that country who saves one-tenth of the price of a plot of land can bor row the remainder of the money from the government, paying three per cent Interest. The government sends expert professors of agriculture to give every farmer free lessons in farming, and each new farmer is given a free trip to a model farm, so that be may learn how to make the best possible use of bis land. If it is to the interest of a small country like Denmark, with only limited resources at its command, to spend large sums to make more farm ers, surely our own country, whose pos sibilities of agricultural development are almost unlimited, could well afford to spend millions to establish farm training schools, where every man or boy who desires the knowledge might learn how to till the soil and become :in independent produoeron the land. The Danish plan of promoting agricul ture and encouraging homemaking will result in a more contented and patriotic people and raise the standard of citizen ship in that country. It might be fol lowed with profit in this country.
