THE OREGONIAN Indulges In these sneers at Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who was elected Tues .day for the fourth time mayor of Cleveland, by a majority of near ly 10,000 over a very able and ro gpected opponent: "Tom Johnson Is always willing to teach that the . earth is. round, or flat, or neither, just as the directors desire. John- - son Is the great sponsor for the 3 cent fare for Cleveland street rail ways, for he knows it is popular." i This assumes that a majority of( ths people are fools, and for the past seven years have been deluded by Johnson. It assumes further that he Is an unscrupulous political mountebank, whose only purpose in ' fighting for 3 -cent fares, municipal ownership and other reforms, is to gain popularity with the "rabble." Such representations do not come within speaking distance of the truth. Johnson fought the consolidated street railway system because it ... was capitalized at three times its value and maintained 5-cent fares In order' to pay dividends on $150,- ' 000,000 of capital stock when the property was worth only $50,000, 000. He claimed, and showed, that a i S-cent fare was enough. No , doubt this was "popular." He has been waging this fight for years, and has built opposition throughout part of the city, in Bpite of 60 injunction suits Instituted by the street railroad monopoly. He proposes to keep up the fight until the 3 -cent system covers the whole city, and until the city can take over the system if it chooses, and the peo ple say: "Go ahead, Johnson; keep - out, Burton." Yes, it Is "popular. f aV la, nt mn wa Vl Y nltlr 11 no - III llllfHH WT"?

No. we shall not havo Ihe times of 1893-7, nor those of 20 years be fore, berause Ihe country Is in bet ter shape, 1h apparently safe against an Inundation of "hard times;" but there will be a readjustment, in which prices will fall somewhat. This Is Inevitable. But it need be nothing to be scared about. this they arc fighting against. It is this fight that produced what there Is of a panic. These rulers-or- wreckers do everything in tholr Dower to "destrov confidence." and then say confidence is destroyed by an honest, capable president and an Intelligent, reasonable people. They water stocks to the bursting point, wreck a few banks and trust com panies, gather in all the country's money possible Just at the time when it is most needed in payment for T1IK APPLE. T FALL OP PRICES. THE BEEF TRUST has cut prices. Butter and eggs have gone or are going down, so we read. The consumers don't Observe the difference yet, but may later. Meanwhile give the retailers a chance, If .they have it, to make a trifle more. They haven't been get ting rich. The trusts looked out for that. It wouldn't do to have too many millionaires. Not that the beef trust is remorse ful or repentant, and wants to give the people or the retail dealers cheaper meats. The trust sees forces in. operation that would eventually smash it, and seeks to dispel or mln imlze these forces by cutting prices a. little, probably It intends to make .ud the loss from the cattle raisers. It will tell them that It is being ruined by cheap meats;' and fat live etock must come down, too. But if these things fall, so will others. Prices of almost everything' have been abnormally high, and it is to be expected that they will drop some. . This does not mean "hard times," but it means more careful, considerate times, and these may not be, bad for (the country. This will happen because of the opera tions of an Inexorable natural law, one as certain as that of gravity, which teaches children that "What goes up must come down, On your head or on the ground." -f people forgot or thought they had got'riA'jef the law, and have been defying It, but it is omnipotent. The ordinary natural sequel is se vere punishment, but this country U now so prosperous, bo overflowing with riches, so plentiful in produc tion, bo mighty in industrial and commercial potentiality, that we may not suffer much this time. - Indeed. If prices drop only moderately, and : HERE HAVE been successful apple fairs at McMlnnvllle and Albany, and there will be a large exhibition of Willamette valley apples, largely Mr. Lowns dale's, in a Portland store next week. These exhibitions serve a very useful purpose, for reasons scarcely necessary to state, but it may be said in a general way that they arouse interest and emulation in this already great and growing Oregon Industry, one that can and should be developed into many times its present proportions. The apple is the king of fruits. It is the most endtfrlng in its fresh, natural state, is the most stable and reliable, and on the whole, if the best varieties are raised, with proper care, the most profitable. It lasts, without canning or otherwise pre serving, from late summer t spring, and throughout the fall and wm(er seasons is a delight to milUoh$.'f, J The apple Is given credit,' tfia all hands for being a very healthful fruit. It may not contain very much nourishment, but it is not onlytJoth some but appetizing, tehijs'ito quench thirst, aids digestion, is a mild alterative, and seems to be a sort of a mild, agreeable physician ln-general to the human organs. It Is said by good authority to be a preventive or corrective of the liquor habit, if used liberally at stated times. What picture of an old country home on a winter evening would be complete without a dish of apples for ante-retiring entertain ment and refection? The .apple is ever the cheerful epitome of Innocent domestic hospitality. If the orange is more highly valued in these lati tudes, it Is only because of its com parative rarity, because it is not in digenous here. Some people may prefer, occasionally, the flavor of an orange, but for a fruit standby that never palls and always cheers, the well selected and richly flavored ap ple has no equal in the fruit kingdom. It is popularly assumed that the tree of forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden was an apple tree, and that : the fruit that Eve handed Adam was a Spitzenberg, Pippin, Newtown or Winter Banana apple. There Is no biblical or other proof of this, but it must be admitted that if the central and forbidden tree was an apple tree of one of these varieties, the first couple got some satisfaction out of their fall, and that Eve, after tast ing of the fruit, cannot be severely blamed for urging Adam to partake of it. We can almost imagine them exclaiming: "Eden is well lost if we can only raise apples like these outside." crops, seen to precipitate a panic in every city In the country, and then say, or spread abroad Insinuations which they wish people to believe, that the prosldent and tho peoplo themselves aro responsible. They had to try to pull off their panic now or not at all. It was a desperate move, and will only make it worse for them. The people are not quite such fools as they used to be. And though they may be made to suffer some, they will not be frightened into turning the government of the country over to these buccaneers of high finance The more the people suffer now, in consequence of this attempted panic, the more sure they will be to elect a president next year who will be their friend and servant, and not a tool of these assassins of the coun try's prosperity. The people are going to win this fight, and others. They are not go ing to be lured nor scared into a panic, nor frightened nor drubbed into voting for a tool of these crim inal interests for president. They will go on, step by step, to circum scribe, regulate and control vestment, yet only a 4 per cent dlvl dend has been paid, the balance, it is supposed, going to swell the spec ulators' panie fund. Just the least amount possible was spent in Ore gon, where the money eame from, even passengers induced to come west not being treated decently. Up to date, Harrlman has milked Ore-1 gon, by means of the O. R. N., of nearly $29,000,000 surplus.

No doubt Hawaiian Japanese, and other subjects of the mikado, are ready and willing to fight the United States or any other country, but the mikado won't be ready or willing to engage in another big-war for a good While, ami when he fights again, he expects to fight Russia. It is announced that work on the Harrlman line between Portland and Tacoma will be resumed at once. It seems money can be obtained for building a road through "Hill ter ritory," but none for building great ly needed and long-promised roads in Oregon.
