A BEST STATE FAIR
EFFORT la to be made o, make
the coming state fair the great
est ffl the history of Oregon.
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

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

fords opportunity for display of a
living picture of these things, that

stranger, and it Is an opportunity of
which the fair management and the

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

the real reason why great pressure
is being brought to bear on the

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
