Everything is In tune for inch a fair. . In all lines farmers are re ceiving prices for ''their . products Bach as they scarcely ever received : before " They are -prices so high that every farmer is surrounded with abounding prosperity. fot only iro - the prices ,extremely favorable,- but the output In every department of the farm. Is one of ; tne beBt,Oregoa has ever yielded.-. The effect is that every granary is bursting with plen ty, and every rural home the head Quarters of thrift. It is an environ ment out of which to bring forth a state- f airtocomparable.-- - 'A "progressive lair. is a sure Index to a progressiva state. It la a func tion that reflects the enthusiasm or the lethargy of a state's agriculture. It is a test of the question of wheth er the agricultural world Is alert, or whether it Is backward in its hus bandry. -'Standing in contemplation of the exhibits; the visitor from a distant state sees t a glance the an ewer to the query of how fares it with the Oregon farmer. In one brief hour, they are able to deter mine the Issue of whether .or not Oregon soil and climate give up ade quate reward for effort, and whether or not the state is a good, place to live In. ."Fat; sleek livestock of ro tund body and graceful curvatures, such as Oregon can produce so well, a and grains, grasses, vegetables and fruits tnat Oregon nana can -grow so matchlessly- these on . display at the grounds eloquently tell : In but a moment the story .of Oregon hus bandry, that the pamphlets, .news papers and advertising matter can not portray ln. a year.--The fair af fords opportunity for display of a living picture of these things, that once, seen la never forgotten, by the stranger, and it Is an opportunity of which the fair management and the farmers ' of : Oregon should make avail to the uttermost, especially In this year when a great caravan of people from other .states Is touring the coast. Oregon has been gocd to her people, ;and" It ' 8 tlm Io" tier people to d goo a 10 uregon, - They -can-do-it by-making the-fair the greatest in the history of the state. The day Is propitious, and the reward worth the effort. . : ORVILLE WRIGHT'S TRIUMPH 0 RVILLB WRIGHT'S successful, triumphant flight at Fort Myer Friday was a . scene worthy of the excited plaudits of the assembled multitude. In a sense the whole nation watched and applauded." He ' made a new and up to date -an exceedingly brilliant record, covering a ten mile course at the- ratef24 miles-aa hour, and oart of the way flying -at a speed of 80 miles an hour. He turned his 'great airship at will, raised or lowered It at his pleasure, curved sharply around the balloon "stake," - and alighted without mis hap... He won the test required by the government, a big business triumph, he added greatly to .the fame of these wonderful but modest brothers, and, what Is worth more to them than all else, he enjoyed the personal satisfaction of doing what he had set out' to do. The Wrights have succeeded no tably on several previous occasions, and will doubtless accomplish far greater feats In. future, but this one, so far, capped the climax. - ; IIEYBOtX'S EXPLANATION m w HEN i SENATOR JONES of In Washington ? presented his V w amendment ' placing ; grain bags on the-free list. Sena tor Heyburn Of Idaho spoke In op position to it, saying that although i-om millions of bags were used In Idaho, there was to bea protective duty on lead,' lumber and other things, .and the farmers of his state Vwill have to learn that- the man who receives must be ready to Con tribute." The miners had to eat, remarked the senator, from which It is Inferred that what wheat the lum bermen and lead . miners. ; ate ln- reased the price to the farmers, so that they could afford to pay the duty on bags. The Spokane Spokes-nan-Revlcw thinks the senator's ex- planatlon will not be satisfactory 'to the farmers of the Pacific north west, who are taxed $ 500.000 year oa grain bags Imported from India la order to protect a little California establishment: or!,, two whose output amounts to only $ i20,- 000 a .year. Probably the . farmers wyi not be satisfied, but the sena tor 'spoke as a true protectionist, and It Is protection that the farmers have been voting for these , many years. When they find out that they are not in it when it comes to par celling out the swag, they may vote differently. As to Senator Heyburn, he is in for six years more now, and doesn't have to serve the people rather than the trusts. WHO HAS BEEN HARMED? w H Y SO MUCH complaint on the part of , two or three Republican , newspapers about the election of pham berlaln instead of. .a Republican to the United States senate? -Wasn't he elected by Republicans as well as " Democrats? And are any Re publicans who voted for him exr pressing regrets? ". It does not ap pear that any sacred "principles" have suffered, or that Oregon has been Injured In any' way. . H ap pears in his votes, while not adher ing strictly ' on every occasion "to professed Democratic doctrine, to have .represented, the people of the country generally and of Oregon in particular,, quite as well as any Re publican would have done far bet ter, indeed, than any Republican follower of Aldflch would have done.- And In other respects he has been attending to business, vigilant, faithful. This Is no more than any senator should be, bnt why these re Iterated walls about Oregon having an Independent sort of Democrat in stead of a Republican in the senate? Here is the Hlllsboro Republican moaning about It, and warning the Republicans "of Washington county that in the state and county elections nest year - they must all stand to gether, must under no circumstances ever again vote for an "independent" or Democratic candidate for see what a terrible thing has happened: Chamberlain Is In the senate! This, that organ says, . t'is a highly dis pleasing state of affairs," brought about through the efforts of 'inde- pendent" newspapers and .voters;- hence '.beware of being "Independ ent;", be Republican, down to dog catcher, though "the de'il be in'Mt. While Chamberlain did not carry Washington county, several hundred Republicans who later voted for Taft ivoted for him, and the Inde pendent (It should change its name) lectures them roundly, ana warns them: that there -win be "a sifting of the sheep from the goats" all the voters : who choose occasionally to be independent being, we suppose. the "goats." -''V-;., : But beware, brother,' if voters are threatened and coerced too much, and if it Is attempted by the old machine element to undo the reform atory progressive measures that have been enacted, the "goats" are likely to so Increase In numbers that they will butt the "sheep" out of the pasture. , NO CHANGE IS WANTED s O FAR as The Journal Is able to inform Itself, it believes that the reported scheme to oust Director F. RV Newell from his extremely important position as head of the reclamation bureftu, and to" ijut ln his -ilace T - pollticlaw, should meet with general protest throughout the , country and espe cially in the west Mr.' Newell has been In this service for 20 years, and -knows more about it, probably. than any other man in the . country. More' than any other he is an expert in it. He is absorbed in the work. and it is progressing finely even if some mistakes have been made. He Is not a politician, la oblivious to party "pull," will have no politics In his business which is probably the real reason why great pressure is being brought to bear on the presidentto turn "hlnroatana put some' "lame "duck" politician one Scott, of Kansas, perhaps -in his place. It should not be done. Poli tics should be kept out of this ser vice, this great work. THE BILLBOARD QUESTION r HE CITY council of Seattle, yielding to widespread public sentiment, is preparing an ord inance regulating billboards by limiting their height, by providing for a lineal foot tax "and by prohib iting them altogether on . grounds facing schools, parks or boulevards. The ordinance may be passed not withstanding an adverse or not en couraging opinion . by. the corpora tion counsel. He thinks the first limitation would be an invasion of the rights of private property, the second double taxation and the third non-enforceable." Yet ' he intimates that the courts might be Inclined to sustain such legislation on the broad ground that the multiplicity; of great billboards is a public evil, which a municipality has the, right under its a police powers to suppress or regu late. -' This suggestion seems more In consonance with reason- and com mon sense than his objections. Troe, billboards are not per se a nuisance . in the same sense that great garbage . heaps or odorous slaughter bouses are, yet they are literally an offense to. a large pro portion of the people of every city, often to residents - in their Imme diate 5 vicinity, and It probably will be held in the near future, if it has not vbeen already; that a city can abate 'the nuisance or regulate and tax it. It la unlikely that billboard advertising will be suppressed alto gether. But It ought to , be reason' ably taxed la all cities. i: Y ' :v MEXICAN POLITICS A' NATIONAL election Is . pending In Mexico, and several Incl dents, among them a few riots, indicate that stormy times are ahead, when the . venerable; veteran Diaz shall have laid down the seep ter, if not even before. ; J ; There is no serious opposition to the election of Diaz as president for the seventh time, but there Is a bit ter fight over the vice presidency, the successful candidate for which will be Diss's logical successor, and will in fact be his legal sueeasor If he shall not live out his term. The present vice president is Ramon Cor ral, who is Diaz's candidate for re election, but' a numerous and strong faction resent the president's dictation, as they claim It to be, of his successor, and have, united, to a considerable ' extent, -on General Ber nardo Reyes, plas . was always a good deal of a dictator, but Mexico needed' one, and his habit of dom ination has strengthened with, in creasing years, so that if he insists on using his overwhelming influ ence in favor of Corral, the Reyes ites may start a revolution as soon as the old warrior and statesman Is in his grave. But possibly not; Mexico has learned and Improved much In the generation that has grown up since Diaz fought his way to ; the presl ilpncv Bnd during which he has made a respectable nation ot ofIt. A CASE IN POINT T HERE IS doubt whether the legislatures of the necessary three-fourths of the states will pass the Income tax resolution. but there is -no,, doubt that If the people bad an opportunity to vote on the question directly It would carry n nearly, it not Quite, all the states. Influences that can and doubtless will be brought to bear upon the legislatures of many states, with con siderable chance of success In some of them, could not so easily or sue-; cessfully be brought to bear upon the masses'of the people. ' ; This one proposition, If correct: and we think no one will dispute it furnishes a powerful argument In favor of a primary law similar to Oregon's in all the states. Often the people don't get what they reason ably and Justly want because they are not really ' represented by mem bers of the. legislatures. And when such a case ocenrs, with respect to any law or public proposition, they should have the power to take the case directly into their own hands and settle It for themselves. A dispatch says that angered, by a report that President Reyes, when he fled Colombia for Europe,, took with him f 20,000,000 In gold and a bag containing millions of dollars' worth of Jewels as his plunder from the government, ' the people of the republic are on the verge of a seri ous revolution. But he only fol lowed many precedents, the quite usual custom In several of the re publics of South and Central Amer ica. And what good will a revolu tlon do after the gold and diamonds are eone? It looks like a case of smashing the stable all to pieces af ter the horse has been stolen." The churches and their adjunct institutions are ;the principal ob jects of the revolutionists' wrath In Spain, as they were in France In the latter part of the eighteenth century. The reasons are much the same, and the results, in time, may be so also. When millions of ig norant,' oppressed people begin to care more about their bodies and less about their souls, more about this life, and less about the next, there Is bound to be trouble, i The Osaka fire will rank among the great, tires of the world's his tory,, the area burned over Demg about four miles square, occupied by 13,000 buildings, though probably manv of these were small. The Japanese responded quickly and lib- erallr on the occasion of the San FranciBco calamity, and if there is need of outside help in Osaka, Americans should do no less. Among the items in the last ap propriation bill was one of $6000 for hire of autos and carriages for the speaker. This may be reason able, as a general preposition, but it does' seem like rubbing it in a little" to tax the people $6000 a year for auto rides for Uncle Joe Cannon, who is constantly using all his great power to injure and op press them. . , While there has been a stubborn strike at Pittsburg lately, Involving some unpleasant features, it is no ticeable that the country has-been remarkably tree from strikes for many months past, more so, we be llere, than for any equal period in many years. This is a good thing and a good ' sign, and aa -occasion for general congratulation..' ;v A French professor has' proposed to the government a plan of bonue ing' large; families, .which is , being seriously considered. He " proposes that $100 be allowed for the second child bora in any family; $200 for the third, and so on. "; This plan promises to increase the population annually by 1,000,000 children, at a cost to the state of $6,000,000 'an nually. This scheme of subsidizing motherhood is something new but in a nation whose population is at a standstill it may have merit In this country we pay billions to '"pro tect" certain interests, concerns and people,' but as yet have not thought of subsidizing maternity. '''Mr. It, Wi-Scott some years ago desired to go to the senate. - He would, we may. presume, like It if he were a member of that body now If he were so, and he had been in Senator Chamberlain's place, in what respects would he. have voted differently from what Chamberlain did? Would he hare been a "meek and lowly follower: of Aldrlcb? i If so; lsnt Chamberlain a better sens tor for Oregon and the country than Scott would have been? Or wculd he have voted his personal Ideas and principles, and so become a follower of Bryan on the tariff question? If so, Is be a Republican? "An answer would be interesting. Experiments have- shown .that howitzer can destroy a balloon 4000 feet high. Now the - need is for a balloon that from a safe distance can drop something down that will destroy a howitzer.'
