Very few Simonitcs were elected as delegatee. More voter were cast than were throwu for the Republican ticket at the last state elections. This also means that J. N. Williamson, congressman for the Second District, will be renominated. I t is expected that this year will witness great strides in the progress ot aerial navigation. The prizes offered by the St. Louis Exposition have acted as an incentive to such an ex tent that some of the keenest experts have ventured to predict the flying machine a practical achievement' be fore the end of the year. Any one who wishes a wealth of information on the subject within a short space cannot do better than read Mr. John Brisben Walker’s article on “The Final Con quest of the Air” in the March Cosmo politan. It is, moreover, profusely illustrated and describes an ingenious scheme of Mr. Walker's for experi ments with aeroplanes with perfect safety to the operator. T hat there are other brutal people besides the Russians and Turks is an acknowledged fact; but we must go to Asia and Africa to find them. The latest evidence of this comes through letters received from survivors of atro cities by rebellious Herreros in German Africa, which give details of unprint able indignities and tortures perpetrat ed by the blacks. Hundreds of whites captured were tortured until death re lieved their agony. Limbs were chop ped off, eyes poked out,bodies cut open and vital organs removed. Women were hanged from trees head down ward, then beaten to death, while par ents were compelled to watch the mutilation of their children. T he Oregon Supreme Court has an important insurance rendered decision. It decided that a note given in payment of the first premium on a life insurance policy does not con stitute payment of such premium. The case in question was where the assured died after the policy was issued and mailed at New York, but before it was received in Portland. In Judge Wol verton’s decision there is implied criti cism of agents’ promises. To be en tirely ,'safe an applicant must actually pay the premium when he makes ap plication. This may cause a decided falling off in the amount of insurance written, as many who have not the funds on hand with which to pay the first premium take policies if they can give their note in payment thereof. z W hil ^ the Russian and Polish Jews may have'taken advantage of the neces ■¡ties and appetites of the Russian peas i ant to an unwarranted extent, they must pay in the end for the profits that accrued. Thejmperial commission appointed to investigate the conditions brought about by the Jew has recom mended that Jews shall not be allowed to own land, and their rental thereof ■ball not exceed a quarter-acre to each of tbe proscribed race. How much is a quarter of an acre? Little more than a Medford lot, to be nearly exact, a piece of land 52 by 208 feet. When it is considered that the Russian Jew is largely an agriculturist for means of support, the cruelty of such land re striction will be fully realized. T he army appropriation bill report ed in the U. S. Senate amounts to $77,- 500,000, or $2,500,000 more than at first estimated. The people of Jackson county are digging down Into their profits to pay for the Increasing war expense. Think of tbe enormous ex penditure for the war department alone, for one year! It amounts to $1 per capita for every man, woman and child in the United States, and is in creasing constantly! And what good returns are coming from it? They say . the country is widening and needs more protection. What does this wid ening process and heavier army and navy expenses mean to the common people? It means that they can pay more taxes and go to war oftener. Tbe great syndicates have cornered the resources of the new possessions, and the government must spend the peo ple’s money in protecting the syndi cates’ interests. T he Department of Commerce and Labor has been asked to look into the beef question. Stock raisers say they are getting too little for their cattle. At the recent convention in Portland they decided that it would be a good plan to organize a sort of mutual com pany, through which stockmen could free themselves from the tyranny of the big butchers of Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City. They think that they are at the mercy of these packers and that the price of beef on the hoof is not regulated by supply and demand, but by the caprice of the men who buy tbe cattle. As a matter of fact dressed beef la still high, as all housekeepers know, but cattle are considerably cheaper. Tbe stock raiser gets no more and th« consumer does not see that he is buying his steaks and roasts ata reduced figure. Tbe big profit, therefore, is going somewhere, and Representative Martin wants the new department of commerce to find out if it is the butcher or packer who is get ting it. ___________ A Card.

GREAT BARGAIN SALES Shetiield Firm Quotes Figarei on American File« Sold In England at One-third of Home Prices—Reduced American Goods In England, Can ada and South Africa. New evidence Is coming to hand ev ery day showing the great difference in prices of our manufactured goods when sold for export and when sold for home consumption. Nearly every num ber of the Iron Age contains informa tion of this kind. Some time ago it contained letters from manufacturer’s complaining that goods exported to Hawaii or Porto Rico were being re imported and sold here at prices lower than those charged here for the same goods by our'iuanufaeturers. The writ ers blamed other manufacturers for giving export prices to these countries which now tiy the American flag and which therefore should pay full pro tection prices for our goods. Ou Nov. 12 the Iron Age quoted American steel bars iu England at 82 ■hillings, or less than $20 per ton, and in America at $1.42%, or $31.92 per ton. Thus the independent manufac turer of tin plate in America who has to buy his bars of the steel trust must pay more than 30 per cent more for his chief raw material than is paid by his foreign competitor. This is “protection to home industries" with a vengeance. The same number of the Iron Age tells us that American steel beams, plates, angles, channels and rivet steel are being sold in Canada at from $9 to $11 per ton less than the prices charged here. The Iron Age of Dec. 17 enumerates a great number of articles of Ameri can make which are sold largely In South Africa. Nearly all are sold there at prices far below those charg ed here. Thus it appears that shovels, which our shovel trust sells here at 90 cents each, are sold there at 36% cents. This Iron Age also contains in formation showing that the United States Steel corporation was early in January offering ste£l billets in Lan arkshire, England, at 75 shillings per ton. Deducting $5 for freight and oth er transportation costs, the trust gets about $14 per ton for Billets for ex port, while its price to American con sumers is $23. The American manufacturers, most ly in big corporate trusts, guard their export prices so well that It has be come next to impossible to obtain ex port price lists or catalogues in this country. In 1902 the Democratic con gressional committee, having failed to obtain a certain important export price list, advertised offering $100 for 1L In this way it obtained the list from a foreign country. Its 1902 campaign book contains fifteen pages of photo graphic reproductions showing scores of Important articles on which the home price is from 20 to 300 per cent above the export price. Recently the literary bureau of the Democratic congressional committee received a letter from Henry Roesell A Co, limited, Sheffield, England, large manufacturers and dealers In files and tool steel. This letter says: “As an illustration of the unfair manner in which the home buyers of files are treated by the U. 8. A. man ufacturers I Inclose you herewith a comparison of the prices charged to the buyers in U. S. A. wjth those of fered by the same manufacturers here.” Some of the prices on the list inclos ed follow: OOMTAAATIVE PRICKS OP AMERICAN IX AMERICA AND ENGLAND. rtLxa Per cent Price per dosen.
