Secretary Wilson and place the de ' partment of agriculture in charge of a more dependable head. The probe disclosed tbat Secretary . Wilson b&s permitted the Impure 'rood interests, to dominate the de partment. Incompetents or worse have been allowed to tie the bands . of Dr. Wiley and hamper the great wbrk In ' which he is engaged. By devious processes within the depart ment a condition of chaos has been created .tbat resulted in paralysis and impotency; , y At other times, the vacillating methods of Secretary Wilson have . been apparent. " His attitude tn the ' Plnchot-Balllnger episode was a - close approximation, to the pusillan imous. Instead "of figuring as a factor in an affair in which his own N department was, Involved, be was merely an. artful . dodger, afraid of both aides and apparently seeking more the safety of his own tenure " of office than the larger fact of - the welfare of such national affairs , as fell. within the administration of , his department ; In the recent attack by Attorney ; Generar Wickersham on Dr. Wiley i the testimony before the bouse com ' i mlttee has disclosed that Wiley's I only offense is that he Is an lnsle- itent and persistent defender of the - J pure food laws.. A new light has even been thrown on the employ meat of the drug specialist, and' Dr. ' Wiley's participation therein cleared . 'of any probable culpability. Yet, through it all, Secretary Wil son has . stood in the background, . i sidestepping and dodging. In the en- deevor to remain behind the scenes " and save bis own position. The de velopments reveal that he is no long er of , cabinet stature. The house probe has .established beyond doubt that some other and more effective statesman should be placed at the head of the department COMMISSION GOVERNMENT SPREADS "I T IS NOT A theory but a con dition that confronts, us" Here Is apt description of the adoption of commission gov ernment by the cities of the United States, as it stands today. Statistics sometimes outweigh arguments. For instance, Galveston and Des Moines set the ball rolling. And the last . count, showed 2 4 "cities "of over 26,- 000 population, and 110 with fewer thpn. 25.000 inhabitants which have fallen Into line. The four highest credited by the 'last census with .100,000 people and over, are these, Birmingham, Ala bama, 132.685; Oakland. California, 150,174; Memphis, Tennessee, 131, 105, and Spokane, 104,402. The next group, with over 90,000, are , Dallas, Texas; Salt Lake City and Trenton, New Jersey, the last a re cent convert. The commission cities are spread over 25 states, in every division of the United States. Kansas leads. In number, with 23, then foliow Illi- nolB and Texas, with 16 each. k So far . as population is an index of importance there is yet room for Portland, Oregon, at the head of the lift." But the plan has commended , Itself to . reat. and email "like. It has come to stay. ORTLAND Is swiftly expanding, Its building ''activity amazes every visitor. It is the won der of the tforthwest. But within 110 miles of this city, 1 there is an agricultural section in Yi 111 1. n inn (Hipuiainja uuruiH iuo iusi five years has actualfy decreased. It has an area of 4103 square miles with a population of but 12,300, or only three to the square mile. The region is almost an empire in the making, but it is unmaking. Its soil Is fertile, its climate good, and its power of productivity excellent. In spots where good methods pre vail, it yielded excellent wheat, splendid vegetables and produced the finest hogs. But instead of ex panding, . there is the ugly fact that in actual population it is on the down grade, and it is all happen ing within a little more than 100 miles of Portland. It is in Morrow, Sherman and Gil liam counties that this curious and unwelcome transition appears. Each is served by a railroad, each is close to the navigable Columbia river, and each has powers of productivity that ought to make for growth. Each has farms at low cost that would be a haven ). rest for thousands of those in the crowded and crowding cities. The whole has a rainfall of 13 to 22 inches, a sufficient pre cipitation and under good farming to yield a huge aggregate of poten tial wealth and all the products for supporting a heavy population. To check this down grade move ment In these three .counties Is a problem worthy of state wide in terest. The process of changing de cay to growth would be beneficial In its lesson , to semi-arid sections in all eastern Oregon. "If you take care of your agricultural inteests, your cities will take care of them selves," said James J. Hill. T6 ar rest this toboggan movement and re place it. with growth, is a sane way to build, not only the section in question, but all O.egon. Intelligent methods and diversi fied crops are a certain remedy. It is absurd that soexcellent t region should be on the retrograde. Three people to a square mile in the great outdoors and potential producing lands of Morrow, Gilliam and Sher man counties while there are fami lies even in Portland who are bur rowing In squalor In the basements of tenements, is a dismal and mel ancholy anomaly. The Oregon conservation commis sion, headed by J. N. Teal, is at tempting to reverse the present de cay. It has provided the money by private contribution, and will offer prizes for diversified products from the farms of the three counties for the harvest of 1912. An expert will be" put in the field to spread the news of crop making by dry farm Ing processes. The State Agrlcul tural college will be In charge of the work. Under the new law ahthorlzlng each county to appropriate $2000 for a county or district fair, efforts will be made to induce the three counties to join in the plan to stay we loss or population by demon strating the real possibilities of the region. If we'1 take care of the agricul tural Interests, the cities will take care of themselves. only break In the regularity of the court session. ' y These Brooklyn Judges have given their entire attention ' and put in their whole time . In Judtlng, with single hearted devotion to that func tion that they were elected to fulfill. JEWS Iff PALESTINE '. SPECIAL COMMISSIONER of the advisory council of the British board of trade has re cently published the report of apecial journey to Palestine, where he was charged with ascertaining) present facts as to the Zionist move ment for aiding the return of Jews to their own land. An equally inter estlng paper by Mr. Bcntwlck In the current, number of the Fortnightly Review on the same Bubject enables us to see, Palestine as It shows it self to two competent and unpreju diced observers. Out of a total population of 700, 000 there are nearly 100,000 Jews la Palestine today, in 1897 the Jews In Jerusalem numbered 28,000 but now, out of a total of about 85,- 000 not less than 50,000 Jews are residing In the apcient city. Members of the chosen people are flocking in from every country In Europe. Many are driven out of Russia, by the) results, or the dread, of persecution. Others are going from the Balkan provinces of Tur key where Turkish troops are wag ing mercllees war on the1 Albanians. But a large proportion seem to be giving way to the homing instinct. The Jewish colonization society, supported by wealthy Jews In all lands, Is doing good work In develop ing agricultural colonies of Jews in various districts of Palestine. Of1 these there are now 26, with an ag gregate population of 7885, cultivat ing 94,900 acres. Their chief atten tion is given to olive groves and vineyards, with some silk culture. They make good wine, much of which Is exported, and various minor industries are carried on. Among the influential councils of he Jews two policies are contend ing, one for treating Zionism as an economic movement, with no aspira tions beyond independence and com fort for the family and the individ ual. The other policy has a relig ious basis, looking to the re-establishment In Palestine of a Jewish nation. It is said that these di vergent aims have retarded the pro gress of the Zlonistlc movement. injunction restraining his wife from calling- him up by phone during of fice nours.

In October, 1910, causos. at. Issue in 1907 were being tried that is the court ws three years behind. In June, 1911 thaV'ls nine months later the" latest Issue tiled was November 11, 1909. So the court was then but a year and a half be hind. By June, 1912, the court ex-, poets to have caught up with Its work. The volume of business disposed of may bo gathered , from the facts that from October, 1910, to June 30, 1911, the total number of cases on the calendar was 28Q3. During that time the court disposed of 3267 cases,, or 464 more than the number of new cases But what is more interesting to Oregon . is that these results were reached by the Judges using the old fashioned means, of sitting more regularly, sitting longer and work ing more energetically. It should be added tbat the figures given abovq apply to Jury trials only, those cases tried by the court-without a Jury being now up to date. For five days In the week all the Judges have held court from 10 a. m.-to 4:30 p. m., regularly. Once or twice a week Judges have sat till 6 o'clock. Saturday Is supposed to be kept free from trials, but many of the Judges have sat on Saturdays to dispose of special term matters N THE LAST WEEK of July the price of silver fell to 48 cents per ounce, and less, on the Lon don market. This was the con sequence of the slight rainfall in India so far in the expected "Mon soon" or rainy season. This be tokens had crops in India, bad crops mean a decrease in the purchasing power of the Indian ryot, and less demand for silver currency and sil ver ornaments. Then less- purchas ing power in India means also re duced sales of cotton and woolen goods la Lancashire and Yorkshire. Apart from all questions of suffering In India from a light crop, inade quate rainfall there has a wider bearing on financial prosperity in England than all the lowered prices on the stock exchanges from the Mo roccan crisis. So says one of the reliable financial writers. The labor troubles, however, are not In the same class. Already the losses In money, in national credit, in national health, in the stability of relations between the most import ant classes in the community, in the upsetting of the national balance sheet, are fast approaching those of an external war.

At present figures the revenue would. pave risen to about $40 per acre for the two months. It is an anomaly that Oregon can not feed herself.
