TARIFF REVISION.
I
why should they not even more ap
prove and applaud Bryan, who has
been preaching them the last dozeu
years or more? It seems to be the
llryantflm of Roosevelt that the peo
ple like; why then should they not
like the Brynnlsm of Hrynn all the
better? Hryan's "clothes" have
fitted Kooaevelt fairly well, but they
fit Oryan even better.
It In those considerations that
render tin result doubtful. In the
great mlddlo west. Not only must
millions of voters perceive that the
Hmiscvi It policies are Brynn's pol
icies, but they cannot avoid looking i
at the record of tnat last congress,
enough, It would seem, to overthrow
any party that made It. Moreover, It
will be observed that most of the
professed Roosevelt policies were
scornfully rejected ty the Repub
lican convention, and that a Cannon
lieutenant was nominated to run
with Taft.
The Washington Herald, a very
strong Roosevelt newspaper, Bays:
He would tie a rash prophet. Indeed,
who would venture to predict t hat Wil
liam Jennings Bryan would now reach
th While House. lint this we do
know: Ho has grown In wisdom with
the passing of the years, ho has grown
In the esleem of his fellow men. the
country over; he Is, next to Theodora
Roosevelt, the best-known or all great
Americana today, and next, al.o, to
Theodore Hoosovelt. stands most con
spicuously for those progressive or rad
ical policies to the carrying forward
of which a large section of the coun
try appear to he Irrevocably committed.
Therefore, a tiy no means one-sided
campaign la certainly ahead of us.
Radicalism has not run Its course.
In Bryan the Democratic party has a
candidate who Is likely to poll 1.000,
000 more votes against Taft than Par
ker polled against Roosevelt. Even
then he may fall short of election. But
the Republican party will have a fight
on Its hands a fight from start to
finish, and one that will tax Its re
sources to the very limit. That, at
any rate. Is the cool, candid judgment
of this newspaper.
Ing and forming character of those
who are to hereafter guide the des
tinies of the republic and work out
the welfare of the millions. Is there
need for well balanced minds, well
rounded character, lutelllKent, pa
tient and enthusiastic men and
women? Can enthusiasm In their
work be promoted by a pittance?
Does not Mr. Bryan speak truly
when he says that for these teachers
there should be a compensation com
mensurate with the enormously Im
portant service tiey render the
country?
OREGON CHERRIES.
"I
N TWO platforms we have the
promise that there will be re
form of the tariff, but will the
pledge be kept? A recent Wash-
. lngton dispatch to the Oregonian
says: "As Cannon has been an ob
structionlst in the path of President
Roosevelt, eo he will be In the path
Of Taft, If Taft Is elected to the
t presidency, nnd. Cannon Is reelected
I to the speakership. At the very out
set of the administration, there
would be a discord in the party, with
the house In control of a clique hos-
, tile to the administration." With
,l Cannon holding the house in the hol
f low of his hand, and Aldrlch abso-
lute ruler of the senate, and with
both bitterly opposed to a reduction
of the tariff, what hope is there for
a revision that will revise?
The situation is significant in
- view of current events. The Ger-
mans are becoming restive under a
-lugn larirr, ana are clamoring for
K-ductlons. The great financial or
gan of Germany, the Berliner Boer
sen Courier, says: "No lasting re-
form of our imperial finances is pos
sible until we adopt free trade prin
ciples, at least to some extent. Wo
: must .relieve our Industrial popula
, tlon from the burden of taxation on
- the absolute necessaries of life."
f The Berliner Tageblatt says:
. "Germany could obtain far more
revenue by taxing brandy, wine,
beer and tobacco If it were not that
the- necessaries of life, such as
, meats, eggs, butter and even bread
were made so dear by a protective
tariff. When people are compelled
to pay so high for necessaries they
: can afford so much less for luxur
ies. Thus, the consumption of such
luxuries reduced, the industry con
cerned is injured, because the trade
falls below what is anticipated. Our
revenue from the customs would un
doubtedly be doubled, if the neces
saries of life were not taxed; and
thus we are driven to the conclusion
that our protective system actually
hampers our revenue returns."
If the German is hampered by a.
tariff, what of the American farmer
and wage earner who must pay to
the trusts an Infinitely larger tariff
tax on every article - he touches?
President Roosevelt saw the un
necessary burdens the commonalty
Is made to bear, and begged congress
for a reduced tariff. The platform
makers at Chicago read on the hor
izen the unrest of the people and
saw that something must be done.

Criticising (ieneral Funston's re
cent attempt to justify the severe
punishment of the soldier Buwalda,
and claiming that even If punish
ment were deserved, that Imposed
wns too severe, the Sun Francisco
Bulletin remarks:
One wonders, or, rather, one does not
wonder, whether General l'unston would
orrr a court-martial for an army of ft
;-er who was caught applauding '
apeech In defense of the criminal higher
ups of San Frunclaoo. Yet the erlmlnal
higher-ups are fur pi ire dangerous
propagators of anarchy than is the
noisy but h.'irrpless Kinnia On Id man.
For nil her talk, Emma Goldman has
never thrown a bomb; whereas the crim
inal higher-ups have actually procured
the throwing; of bombs with murderous
Intent and have committed other overt
nets tending to destroy the republic
which Oenoral Punston has sworn to
defend. The men who first corrupted
the municipal government . and then
employed' agents to blow up with dyna
mite the home of the chief witness
against them are anarchists In fact.
while Emma Goldman Is an anarchist
only In theory. Tho practical anarchists
are tho dangerous kind.

T WAS Yamhill county against
the world," said Millard O.
Lownsdale, speaking of the
cherry exhibit at Salem, "and
Yamhill won." Yamhill is a great
county, for cherries and various
other things, but It may be supposed
that adjoining and other Willamette
valley counties can produce Just as
good cherries as Yamhill; that there
Is no appreciable difference, where
equal care la given them. Mr.
Lownsdale is a fruit expert and a
fruit enthusiast, and that he select
ed and prepared the exhibit may
have had much to do with Its super
iority.
But It is something for Oregon to
be proud of nnd to exploit that it
unquestionably raises the best cher
ries In the world, and most seasons
the yield is .also very large. Mr.
Lownsdale sin'd: "It cannot be dis
puted thr- - "hin a radius of 50
miles of Liom, Or., the best cherries
in the vorld are grown. We pro
duce here in the Willamette valley

The Oregon Forest!-, issued at
Corvallls by the Oregon Forester as
sociation, contains the following
statement, under the head, "Virgil's
Views on Irrigation:"
The first two sections of the present
water laws of Italy, which have been
developed through centuries of experi
ence, are as follows:
"Art 1. N'o one shall divert public
waters or establish any mill or other
factory thereon, who has not a legal
title or has not obtained a concession
from the government, which Is sub
Ject to the payment of an annual rental
and the conditions established by th
law. 'The law limits to a reasonab
period all water franchises).
"Art 2. Concessions are always mad
without prejudice to the rights
others. Terpetual rights to divert water
may be granted only by law."

something besides language, and art
and literature from Italy.

RATTLING THE BONES IN THE
TALL TOWER
From the Medford Trlbuna.
Readers of tha OragonUn of tha last
few montha have been aurprlaed and
chagrined at tha gross and heinous In
consistency of that Journal. To tha ma
jority it may seem lnojtpllcabla, but to
those who have followed Ite strange and
devloua course for the paat 10 yeara its
attitude and tha motives bohlnd tt are
so plain that even the blind can read
the true meaning between the lines.
Ever since lta editor became Infected
with tha "bacillus senatorlalla," moral
ity, consistency, have been sacrificed
upon the altar of personal ambition
an ambition doomed to be unsatisfied
and unfulfilled.
It has been but few vr itfnAa tha
Oregonlan was replete with able edi
torials in behalf of tho primary elec
tion law. and th initiative nli,1 refer
endum. Then It was that its editor was
tiaueci as a "tribune of the people." Had
lie been possessed of political acumen
he would have perceived that that was
tho psycbologiCf"moment to attempt
Hie realization, or n it consuming nonti
cal ambition. But it was doubtless dlf
flcult for a pat mauler of political ma
nlpulatlnn to ttuBt the people.
It was perhaps Impossible for one
who pilloried legislators who Bold their
votes ror senator for coin and refused
to carry out the contract, but who bad
only words of praise for the brlbo giv
er, to trust his cause to the people, or
to conceive of the election of a senator
by another than the time-honored means
of bribery nnd corruption. But the leg
Islature failed to respond to the earnest
yearnings of the man who believed the
Kepubllcan party in Oregon owed him
Its greatest gift.
From the time of that defeat an old
man g-rew old faster and became embit
tered. He believed that his cup had
been filled with treacheries to the brim
by those whom he had trusted and aid
ed. These sentiments soon were re
flected In the editorial pages of the
Oregonlan and from day to day the
Job-like lamentatlonr of Its editor-in-chief
would affront the eye of Its Re
publican readers. Forget he could not
and forgive he would not.
Soon there came a new light In the
great editors life. Francis J. Heney
came to Oregon ana the land fraud
prosecutions began and the Indicted
wiere those who had thwarted the am
bitions of Harvey W. Scott to be sena
tor from Oregon. His enemies In office
and out were soon pressed to earth be
neath the harsh hand of federal prosecution.
When the envious Casca drove his
dagger home in Caesar's flesh he prob
ably did not feel half the elation that
filled the atmosphere In the Oregonian
building when Mitchell, Hermann, Hall,
Williamson and their political friends
were humiliated, and disgraced by In
Hint m ant Ann i ltln sta ram fuai 1 t m vl
office. Subtly denying tha truth of tha
charges against these defendants In Its
editorials, dally that lournul aave to
tha public moat damning statements of
racts against mem, through Its news
columns, which were for the most part
either prepared bv o:- secured from
those engaged In the prosecution.
The bext chanter Is of the nresent.
The primary law and the Initiative and
referendum, once ko heartily Indorsed
and ably advocated, are presented as
tho dreams of fools and Inventions of
imDeoiiea, greatly In the majority In
Oregon. All wisdom and Integrity In
Mia state la now Invested In the mem
bers, of the legislature If they get
right on the senatorshlp. If anvone
Ida res question the inconsistency of the
rOregonlan'g position on these questions
win iierw-e repiy is mat -consistency is
an ass.
But stronger still are tha honied
words- that are doled out to the land
fraud defendanta. Those who three
yeara ago rose each morn with one
nrst thought of what that Journal
would publish at the behest of the
prosecution concerning those accused
pv me government or violating the
land laws those who begged for even
a word of doubt are now overwhelmed
with sympathy and made to appear as
Even he who was for years snubbed
and ridiculed as "Wily Ringer," "Our
uinger, and treated with contempt, is
now referred to as "Hon. Blnger Her
mann." Whereat you smile. But have
you not read that the .tamers of the
wild beasts often Pursue tha iilun of
oiaiviug ineir captives into submission
and thereafter winning their affection
by giving them food and drink? And
men are Dut beasts In many re
spects.
Mans ambition die. with him sel
dom before. With Fulton, who never
rouna a word in his defense against
Heney's chargea in the Oregonlan until
after his defeat, out o the way, and a
Republican legislature committed to u
Democratic candidate for senator, there
looms berore a Jaundiced Imagination
a possibility of a realization of n fond
and cherished hope The vinegar is
turned to oil and hastily Is poured on
the wounds Inflicted by the same hand
that now applies the Roothlng ungent
This Is the hope that leads the Ore
gonlan to discover that some members
of the. assemblv committed to State
ment No. 1 are abbut to resign or vio
late their plekge, and that such an act
would not only be a pardonable sin. hut
a praiseworthy act. The discovery may
have been made, or It may be only a
that
suggestion, but In the followlne- of
suggestion there lies hone for one hut
disgrace for many. But such has ever
bee the road of selfish ambition.

Maine never has been a prohibition
state in spite of the fact that for 67
years sire has had a prohibitory law on
her satute books, and for most of the
time in her constitution," says Holman
Day, the well-known editor and writer
of stories about the Pine Tree state,
who has Just completed a study of the
much-discussed Maine liquor law for
Appleton's magazine. As a newspaper
man Mr. Day has observed the working
of the prohibitory law In Maine for the
past 20 years, and he asserts that at
no time since the prohibition law was
pacd has It been enforced throughout
the state. In some, places, chiefly In
rural sections, the open sale of liquor
has been almost entire) v innriJ at
times. In cities and other communities
where the majority sentiment hn hn
against the anti-liquor law, the salo
naa neen permitted openly, although il
legally. Maine's exnerienco does not
prove that prohibition is either a good
thing or a bnd thing for a state, in Mr.
Day's opinion, because Maine never has
had real prohibition.
Until the adoption of the St urirfs law
the sole power of enforcing the stafuie
against liquor selling rested In the
hands of sheriffs and other I ocnl nffl-
cfals. who interpreted the law according
to the sentiment of their own communi
ties, i noer the .stutgls law a sneclal
commission appointed by the governor,
with a largo number of deputies at Its
command, has had charge of the en-
lorcement or tn prohibitory measures
According to Mr. Day, the legislature is
almost certain to repeal this law at Its
next session and tho state will go back
lo the old plan by which each commu
nity regulates the matter for itself.
This will mean a resumption of what
has come to be known aa the Kangor
Plan.
"Under the Bangor plan." says the
Appleton article, "the sheriff and county
attorney permitted a certain number of
saloons and hotels to sell liquor. Prior
to tile term of court at which (ines were
to be 'assessed' the county attorney or
his agent went to the office of the col
lector of Internal revenue and drew off
a list or me names or those in the
county who were raying a special liquor
retaller'a tax to the United States gov
ernment. The list was presented to the
grand Jury, was accepted as evidence
and the parties were indicted and paid
the regular fine and costs, amounting to
$110. Usually the county 'assessed'
twice a year. Penobscot county paid off
Its debt and built a handsome new
courthouse while that plan was In oper
ation." "While any man who wants to obtain
liquor can do It without much difficulty
In almost any part of the state, there la
no prospects that the prohibition law
will be repealed," said Mr. Pay In ex
plaining the conclusions he haa drawn
from his 30 years' study of the subject
"In other words. Maine is at
committed to prohibition, but is Just as
sirungiy agninsi us enforcement.''
Fred M. Warner's Birthday.
VrA M Warner trcw .-rnnf rf lflkf
gan, was born at Hlckllng, Nottingham
shire, England July 21, 1855. When
he was an Infant he was brought by
his parents to the United States. A
few months after the s.rrlvnl of fh
raimiiy in America the mother died and
the child was adopted by a relative
living In Michigan. The bov's oommnn
school education was supplemented by
a year of study at the Michigan State
Agricultural college. After leaving that
institution he engaged In business per
sists. In 1S89 he became Interested In
the creamery Industry, and in a few
years he had built his business up to
large proportions. While achieving
Wwrked success In business, he also
became active In political affairs as a
Republican. In 1896 he was eeotd to
the Michigan senate, serving untlllf9S

ing the youngest man to hold that of
fice since the adoption of the state
constitution in 150. In ln he waa

Whether 'Twere Iletter '
HlillE la a question before tha
house. It la this: If you were
In a aHroetcar and the pin which
fastens your collar were un-
hasped, or your belt pin unfas
tened, or anything- the matter with your
running gear, would you want a mere
man who observed It to appiiae you of
the situation, or would you
Hut suppose we begin differently.
There was the usual hot. tired crowd of
homeseekers, suburban-bound. A large,
stalwart woman got on and dispossessed
a masculine person who had a seat. An
other man who waa standing observed
that the pin of her collar was unfas
tened behind. ,
Then he argued with himself thusly:
"Shall I or shall I not toll her?" Kor.
mind you, she was not the dinger type.
8he was not looking ror assistance from
a man In the matter of getting on or otr
a car. or finding out where she should
get off, or carrying her coat. 8he waa
that self-sufficient kind that has a
mlnd-your-own-buslneas air written
large all over her anil Bhe could stand
lettering. She was the puy-as-you-go-
and-usk-no-fuvors kind you know that
kind.
The man who observed was of a con
templative mind. He had lately read a,
novel hv Merirv James which prosed
conclusively that If you have a certain
Impulse it is proor mat you tmi
think vonr Hnfv t ha ooriOHlte thing.
Therefore he reflected that If he told
her anything was the matter with her
get-up be should have to get off ana
walk home, ami it was warm aim
dusty. He remembered also to have
heard that what a person does not know
never hurts them, and recalled a nursery
rnyine aoout ignorance . umg hubs,
and the you know whom "takes tho
hindmost" or words to that effect
In hla dilemma he sougni counsel, no
asked a steamboat captain, whom he
thought might be onto the curves or
thlnirs feminine, since he was used to
navigating a boat, which la always she,
no mutter what Its name.
The advice he received strengthened
his hold on the principle of silence. The
steamboat captain, by the way, was tho
man dispossessed of his seat. Still tha
man who observed was not quite satis
fled, and In the seclusion or his home
he put the question to his wife. Not
on your life only she put it more
gracefully was the advice of tha wlfa
of his bosom.

The Heroism of Igna.
GIRD of 23, pink-cheeked, brown-
halred and graceful, in a dainty
blue-and-whlte uniform, stood by
the rail of the clumsy Russian steamer
Helllg Olav, watching from the Jersey
shore the lights of New Ycfrk.
That she might never see them again
she knew. That she might within a
year be condemned to spend the rest of
her 11 f o on a desolate, dreaded, rar
awav island, with no civilization to
watch or hope for, she knew, too. Yet
she had a gay -little smile for the half
awed friends who come to say goodbye.
And this is her story as told In one of
the New York, papers:
She was Igna fiennlg, trained nurse,
about to sail for Copenhagen with a
woman who at that moment- was sit
ting alone In a quarantined cabin of
the ship'.' chanting monotonously when
ever a footstep, neared her little prison:
"Leper! Ixper: Keep away."
During all the lone voviue to th
Danish port the little girl will I!v
with the leper, bathe her, give her food,
and watch the widening, of the half-Inert
dead-white circle on her check that
marks her aa prey to the ancient terror.
Perhaps she may even go on with tho
unclean one to the Island of Desolation
In tho Baltic aea, the leper's destination.
Every day there will be befoVe tho
athletic, suijerbly formed young care
taker the possibility of a deadly whit
speck appearing on her own clear flesh.
i think 1 shall come hack," she said
quietly In quaint Noise-like, accent Eng
lish. '"It Is nothing to do this that T
am starting. It ts what nurses are for
to take care of affllctad ones. Why
should It be harder to be with a leper
, than any other?"
"But It is Incurable," some one said.
"It turns everyone's hand against you "
"So be perhaps." replied the girl.
"But I do not think it will affect me.
I am trained; I know what to do to
guard myself. Science of today Is more
powerful than those old-time beliefs of
people a thousand years ago. They
feared the leper because they did not
know anything about his ailment. Wa
don't fear now."
"Hut In spite of all your precaution,
Is there not a chance that you may
take the disease?"
"Oh. a chance yes," returned the lit
tle nurse. "But my life's work Is to
takn chances. Maybe I won't come
back. But I do not fear even that If
I do not return, I can do some good
on the Island with the unfortunates."
