A 'TOPI' LA It" MAYOR.
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.

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

to date, Harrlman has milked Ore-1
