TALENT NEWS ITEMS.
Lester & Laley of the Wagner I
Creek Nurseries have purchased the'
tract of land which they leased last
year and which is now occupied by
their nursery from the Talent Or
chards Company. They get about 30
acres including the residence at the
corner of the Pacific Highway and
the county road, Just north of town.
They have already uprooted the old
orchard which stood alongside the
house and will use the ground for
nursery purposes. The trees were a
mixed lot and old. The new proprie
tors have already commenced park
ing the ground in front of the house
and will put out ornamental shrubs
and flowers, mak.ng it the show
place of Talent. They have also re
ceived 6,000 seedling cherry trees
from France, which they will use for
budding Bing and Royal Ann cher
ries on. It may not be generally
known, but it is almost impossible to
get American-grown stock which will
not sucker or be otherwise worth
less. The entire 6,000 seedlings will
be put out this spring.
What is Graft?
Oregonian: Some eastern publi
cations which relied upon the good
faith of Louis R. Glavis In forming
their opinions in the Ballinger epi
sode are inclined to appraise Glavis
recent money-making venture in Cal
ifornia as no more than an indiscre
tion. From a legal standpoint
Glavis doubtless was not a trans
gressor. He merely contracted for a
price to use in influence to secure
preferential listing of lands in be
half of certain large timber com
panies. Under these contracts he stood to
make , $30, 000 to $50,000. At the
time the contracts were entered into
he was employed in a public capacity
at $300 per month by the state of
California. California's concern in
the side contract was one of ethics
of public employment. The state
was supposed to be paying for
Glavis' entire time and services.
Yet, while under pay from the 6tate,
he engaged in a recret employment
which promised to yield him ten
times the salary he would draw from
California in one year.
But overshadowing that question
Is one as to the moral right of one
to sell his influence with public offi
cials. Had the large sum for which
Glavis was striving been offered in
payment for rare technical knowl
edge, the greater part of the odium
that now attaches to the deal would
have been absent. One of the most
insidious and baleful forms of graft
now combated in America is the sale
or purchase of influence to gain for
one firm or corporation an advan
tage over a rival, or to secure for it
some special favor.
There is the politician who for a
consideration will agree to secure
a municipal contract for the one who
employs hin; thero is the boss who
will for a price obtain early action
on some claim against a city; there
is .the lawyer friend of the executive
who for more than commensurate
fee will endeavor to obtain the par
don of a convict. Favoritism of
many kinds may be purchased, but
in a general sense we consider such
bartering a crime only when a bribe
reaches a public officer.' Perhaps
the hardest noin. to overcome in
convicting Abe Ruef wa3 the con
tention that money paid to him was
a lawyer's fee, and it is an admitted
fact that a large part of the graft
paid for favoritism the country over
goes no further than the purported
Intermediary who has no vote to sell,
but who can control the votes of oth
ers. We thus fail fully to insure the
thing which bribery statutes are
passed to accomplish. That is equal
ity of opportunity and fair dealing.
Mr. Glavis bribed nobody. He did
have influence with the Interior De
partment. He sold that influence
and obtained a more rapid turning
of the wheels in favor of his clients,
while the claims of others who, be
cause of priority of filing, ought to
have had preference were left for
later consideration. He contracted
to secure special consideration from
a government bureau for wealthy
corporations and he secured it to the
detriment of others that did not em
ploy him. If this was mere indiscre
tion, tehn the Outlook and other
Journals which defend ,Glavis may
consistently excuse or keep silent
concerning much of the graft that
enriches the boss, the politician or
the schemer.

Getting Down to the Right Basis.
Evening Telegram: la the Eouth
they have a development organiza
tion, whoso purpose is to devise the
best mean3 of bringing greater pros
perity to that section by the devel
opment of Its land resources. Par
ticular attention is paid by the or
ganization to tho exploitation of ag
ricultural interests, following some
what the same methods that are pur
sued in Oregon, and upon that par
ticular point the organization reach
ed a new and significant determina
tion at a conference recently held in
the city of Baltimore.
At that Baltimore gathering the
slogan was sounded that there
should be strenuous and consistent
effort to plae a family oh every
forty acres of tillable land in the
entire territory' which we commonly
designate as Dixie. But how to do
this-in the face of the greed of the
land speculators is the problem.
That problem was discussed from al
its various angles, and although it
was not soivea, yet tne nope was
expressed that some way would be
found later on to eliminate the land
speculator and remove him as a de
terrent to state and sectional devel
opment. As one reads the repoA of those
proceedings at Baltimore there Is
growing conviction that those south
ern men have struck the keynote for
genuine development. The proposal
Is first to improve and Increase the
productiveness -of the soil, and to
make increased values in land de
pend upon that greater productive
ness. The call is for organization of
citizens and land owners in the vari
ous states and counties with the pur
pose of offering inducements to im
migration first on the basis of cheap
land, and second on the basis of a
sort of community help in locating
newcomers and advising them as to
what best may be done in order that
the land may be made to pay. This
movement, in other words, ia Intend
ed to ignore the land speculator un
less he chooses to co-operate in the
general scheme.
Immediately any movement In any
community is started that makes for
the growth of that eectlon, land buy
ers prick up their ears and say to
themselves in effect: "Here's a'
chance to discount the future and to
take a rakeoff from tho future earn
ings of the property." Of course
tho speculators and owners, do not
say this in bo many words, but that
is the essential meaning of the atti
tude they assume. Thus to gamble
in the advance of land values, which
must ultimately result from greater
production, is considered legitimate,
and very often the result is that in
stead of a farm land movement
which has to do with the locating of
fanners, there is merely trading
among the owner and speculator. In
this there is no genuine progress.
On the contrary, progress that might
ensue were it not for this is impeded
or halted altogether.
If the investigators hit upon a plan
that will make their purpose effect
ive to get the settler on the land on
reasonable terms the will perform
valuable service, not only for them
selves and their section, but for peo
ple in every section of the country,
and for any numbor of communities,
especially the west. The more power
to their good sense.

THE DUCKING STOOL
Betiy
Didn't Think It a "Pleasant
Mode" of Punishment.
In colonial days hog stealing was
considered one of the most serious of
crimes. At the first offense the thief's !
ears were slit, at the second bis ears
were nailed to a pillory, und at the
third ho suffered death "without bene-
fit of clergy."
Deceitful bakers and careless flsh 1
dealers bad to "lose their ears." while
I he who spoke detracting words had his
tongue bored by a bodkin. j
A Frenchman traveling In America in I
1700 describes the ducking stool as a
"pleasant mode" of punishing a scold-
lug woman.
In lCio Thomas Hartley of Virginia
wrote of bis witnessing the execution
of n ducking stool sentence:
"Day before yesterday at 2 of ye
Clock. I saw this punishment given to
one Betsey Walker, who by ye vio
lence of her tongue made her house
and her neighborhood uncomfortable.
They had a machine for ye purpose,
yt belong to ye Parish. It had already
been used three times this summer.
"Ye Woman was allowed to go under
ye water for ye space of y. minute.
Betsey had a stout stomache and would
! not yield until she had been under five
times. Then she cried piteously. Then
they drew hack ye Machine, untied ye
Ropes and let her walk home a hope
fully penitent woman."
