Riverside Is Undoubtedly the Best Or
chard Tract in the Willamette
Valley Today
It is the-old Braley nDiich, known all over Oregon as A
FARM THAT WILL GROW ANYTHING.'
The Riverside Orchards Tracts are ONLY EIGHT MIN
UTES FROM McMINNVILLE, "THE WALNUT CITY,"
in Yamhill county, at the junction of the Yamhill and Wil-r
lamette rivers. Already FOUR ' Southern Pacific Railway
TRAINS run DAILY to and from Portland tcnthe Orchards,
and the OREGON ELECTRIC proposes to have ALMOST
AN HOURLY SERVICE. The Braley ranch cost nearly
four times as much as land used for walnut purposes gener
ally costs, and yet we are. selling as cheap as anyone else in
this line.
A Riverside Orchard Is a Bargain-Buy One Now
The Riverside Orchards have been planted to walnutsi
because WALNUTS REQUIRE LITTLE CARE; ARE
EASY TO HARVEST, DO NOT SPOILrand INCREASE
IN RETURNS EACH YEAR for centuries. '
One Prominent Man Has Said ToUs:
"I AM NOT OFFERING MY ORCHARD FOR SALE,
BUT HOLDING FOR A PERMANENT INVESTMENT,
AND CONSIDER IT AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN A
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY."
It is not unusual for a walnut orchard to yield A STEADY
INCOME OF $400 PER ACRE PER YEAR, netting the
owner of a ten-acre orchard the splendid return of $4,000 a
year. The Thomas Prince orchard, which is only six miles
from the Riverside Orchards, harvested last year 18,000 pounds
fromAl,500 rees, many of them yielding over 100 pounds each.
Frank Diehm, another Willamette valley walnut-raiser, har
vested TEN BUSHELS FROM ONE TREE and sold them
for FIFTY-FOUR DOLLARS.

Main Issue of Senatorial Election
Being Obscured by Many Arguments
Portland, Nov. 1. To the Editor of
The Journal la all this discussion now
adays about Statement No. 1, there Is a
tendency to get away from the plain,
simple question, which Is: Bhall we,
through the mechanism of Statement
No. 1, elect ur United States senators
by the direct vote of the people? Is
that 'a good thing for us to doT There
it an effort made to becloud this ques
tion with "Unconstitutionality," "Is
Statement No. l a Lawf' "Is It a true
people's choicer "Legislators had no
right to give a pledge because contrary
to . their oaths of office," and other
such cries.
I don't care very much whether Gov
ernor Chamberlain Is elected for any
particular interest I feel in him, but I
do care very much about: the principle
involved in Statement No. 1 and I do
want to see it survive this attack that
is being made upon it. Few men doubt,
I presume, that the people of the United
States desire to elect United States
senators by direct vote. At least their
representatives in the house have
passed the necessary amendment to the
constitution several times, but the sen
ate has always blocked the amendment.
Too many of our respected senators
know they would not be there If the
f eople had their say. But the constitu
lon of the United States Is an ex
tremely difficult one to amend and
the United States senators continue to
be elected in the eld way by the legis
latures of the states and the senate re-,
mains the stronghold of the trusts
against, tariff revision and other re
forms. Every one knows how it has
opposed all of Roosevelt's measures,
even though they had a strong public
opinion behind them.
Will reopU Be BaJxedt
Whatever the country at larre de
sires, it is certain that we in Oregon at
least want to elect our United States
senators and have devised a- way to do
it. and I hope we are not to be balked
now by the attack that is being made
by the po'iticlans who- see their power
being decreased. We don't want the
old days of machine fights in the legis
lature and open bribery of members and
trading this man for that until the
whole session Is wasted in fights be
tween rival factions trying to elect their
man ana tne irue neeas or Oregon go
disregarded. We say, "No, we're tired
of all that and we will elect our own
senators. We're quite as fit as the
legislature to do it." And those men
who say that we have no right to
pledge a man who Is asklnc our vote to
vote as we desire for united States
senator, must show why the electors
have not a right to receive the volun
tary pledges- of candidates on any sub
ject whatever.
Statement No. 1 is simple enough.
Those candidates who desired to do so
pledged themselves to vote always for
that man for United States senator who
received the highest number of the peo
ple's votes at the preceding June elec
tion. Nobody had to sign it, and when
the candidate gave it he knew perfectly
well be might have to vote for a Demo
crat' Judge George, in an article the
other day In the Oregontan, said: "The
constitution gives each legislator that
absolute right" (to cast his vote as he
sees fit), "and no one can hold him up
and take It away." "Hold him up and
take it away." That shows how fn the
heat of discussion -men wander away
from the truth of things, when every
body knows that no candidate for the
legislature was held up or coerced, but
each one who signed Statement No. 1
did so voluntarily and presumably be
cause he believed in It. and having
given his pledge he should stand, by it.
Pledge Bests on Honor Alone. ,
Self seeking and scheming men are
talking now about whether Statement
No. 1 Is a law or not. What difference
does that make? Because It lsri't a
binding law with penalties attached, is
that a reason for a man repudiating his
sacred pledge? It ought to be all the
more sacred to a man of honor, because
It rests In his honor alone. The time
for all this discussion was before the
primaries and the June election, not
after men have won office because of
the pledge willingly given. To me It Is
pitiful to see a man who has been a
judge urging men to violate solemn
pledges of which they have reaped the
benefit under the shallow pretext that
"They still bave their constitutional
discretion and duty. It remains for
them to use, or they will violate oaths
and violate the constitution again if
they simply ratify, for the mere sake of
keeping their word, any discretionary
power they attempted last spring to
sign away."
This continual talk about the con
stitution and of violation of oaths of
office is an attempt to fool people and
raise a doubt in their minds, and It is
wrong What Is this oath of office? , It
is an oath each legislator takes to sup
port the constitution of tho United
States. And what does the constitution
of the United States say? Itays the
legislatures of the states shall choose
United 8tates senators. But it does not
say, and was never intended to mean,
that the legislators were nut to be in
fluenced by the wishes of the people.
That they were to be influenced is. ex
actly what was Intended, and What bet
ter way to know the people's wish than
to have them express it at the polls.
The electors of the presidential eleo
toral college take an oath to support
the constitution of the United States,
and under that - constitution,' as Inter
preted by the anti-Statement politicians,
they have a right to choose whomever
they please. But can any one imagine
a man chosen to elect-raft casting his
vote in the electoral college for Bryan?
"ubtle Turns and Twists."
Among other subtle turns and twists
the anti-Statement men are giving to
their argument Is this: They say that
the only possible real ground a legisla
tor pledged to Statement No. 1 could
have for voung for Chamberlain would
be If he believed Chamberlain to be the
best man for the place. I don't agree
with this, but If they choose to take
that ground I will say that a legislator
could, with wisdom, say to himself:
'That man who has received the highest
number of people's votes is by that very
fact made the best man for the place,
and I will vote for him." -,
They say Governor Chamberlain got
the Democrats to vote In the Repub
lican primaries. If he did, it was a low
political trick and the primary law
should be so amended as to prevent its
recurrence, but it remains to be proved
that he did this, and If proved It is not
a sufficient reason to warrant the anni
hilation of Statement No. 1 and the re-
DUKE ABRUZZI
APPEARS HAPPY
Said to Cable Miss Elkins
Every Day Notwithstand
ing Rumors of Discord.
(Meant News by toagest tout Wire.)
Rome,1 NOT. Jlr" For man disap
pointed in love, the Duke of tbe Abrwul
maintains, outwardly at least, a happy
appearance. He Is leading ft pleasant
sort of life In Turin. He is taking all
bis meals at restaurants, motoring In
the. vicinity of Turin and. passing hi
evenings at the theatres. Hls mall Is
enormous, but the duke reads little, a
majority of his letters remaining un
opened. He spends considerable time in
the gardens of his palace, indulging in
gymnasiums and designing an original
type of yacht. " ,
He carefully reads the clippings con
cerning his marriage, from the Ameri
can and continental papers. To friends
he speaks enthusiastically of the United
States, saying he wished he was not a
prince, as he would then become n
American. He considers American
women more intellectual and fascinat
ing than European women. He says be
would consider himself unfortunate if
it became necessary to marry .a Euro
pean princess, as there Is now no one
who answers to his Ideal of what a
woman should be. .
The duke apparently has not altered
turn to the old machine methods which
the present newspaper agitation Is an
attempt to do.
One of the best signs In all this Is the
interest the people show. They are
awake in this crisis and every pledged
legislator has the eye of the people on
htm. Let Mm stand to his word, or
there will be ao place in Oregon to hide
his shame. ikRSKINB WOOD.
bis habit of cabling Miss Elkins every
eveningT He received a reply dne after
noon, when he visited Rome a few days
ago, and told some of his friends he
was hopeful that the marriage Was
only postponed and not abandoned.
A friend of the Duke of Abrusst, who
Is credited with having acted as the
Intermediary between the duke and the
Rome, oNv. 21. For a man disao-'
with Miss Elkins, when asked to ex
plain the delay in the Wedding plttns
said the reason for it would never be
known by the public, since it related to
family matters. The else of tbe dowry
was not concerned In It, he said, for
thia had never been considered or even
mentioned. Neither was the question
of the bride's rank after the marriage
discussed. .
The duke's friend really hinted as an
explanation of the delay that the king
had consented to the marriage on con
dition that sufficient time elapse with
a view to ascertaining whether the at
tachment was of a lasting character.
