HE plana of th Indian gorern
oant for tb saw capital city
at Delhi ar taking abap.
Th vlceror. Lord Harding
i announced Juat recently that h had
r aelected th alto. In a tract of thirty
t aquar mile, near the old city, which
would coat bet wean ft, 000,000 and
, $1,150,000. That a unitary en-
ginger, a town planner, an architect.
r and a landscape gardrner had been
I I engaged, and that aa aoon aa th
I prellmlnarlea were flnlahed dealgna
i and eatlmatea for tb new govern
; J rnent hulldlnga would bo Invited.
Her will be a chance for another
American architect to come In and
I get away with the plum from hla
Brttlah confreres, as the Chicago
architect did In the case of the Au
t trallan capital.
; Lord Hardlnge went on to aay that
llroe, brlcka, and splendid atone from
I the quarries that the old Mogul em-
I perors used were all abundant.
; f cheap, and of excellent oualifr. He
f I hoped that the $20,000,000 entlmate
J.J would be little, if at all exceeded,
i I The government does not Intend
j ! erecting private residences, shops,
business premises and so on, but It
' At . . . I .
, , ciu expect 10 turn an nonesi penny,
t 60 to speak, by renting land on rea
; Eonable terms on building leases.
. ! So King George's dream rvnd proph
J ecy are belr.g fulfilled, and he may
: hope to lTve long enough to open in
a new parliament house the first ses-
slon of an Indian legislature. For
- there is no doubt that he, and many
t thers, look forward to seeing an In-
dia as practically free ffom domina
v tion as is Canada, and as permanent
and loyal a portion of that empire on
. which the sun sets not.
That hope may be long deferred,
it Is true, but Is founded! on reason
and on recent history.
What Indian will then cast a long
ing eye back to the dead and gone
.. empire of the Mohammedan conquer-
- ors of the high table land of the
great peninsula?

N th days of Ihe militant home
rulers Lord Frederick Cavendish
waa sent to Ireland as a messen
ger of peace. II sn Ms col-
eaguea were -hot down In Phoenix
Park. Dublin, by an assassin on the
day ef t Mr arrival, and a thrill of
horror ran through En-llah society.
Lady Frederick Cavendish has
mourned her husband deeply all these
years and with revulsion from the
ery name of uome rule. Yet, the
other day, she sent for Mr. Redmond
to visit her, and greeted him with
warm congratulations on the ap
proaching succesa of the new policy
which will bring, she believes, a per
manent rule of peace in the island
for which her hushand'a life was ohc
rlflced. So she was willing to bur:'
her private sorrow In the public
gain.
Such acts are an Indication of the
kinder sp'-lt spreading in the ranks
of that English society where the
bitter and convinced opponeLia of
homo rule have been found.

TOKAY GRAPES IN OREGON

F all the table grapes the Tokay
la king. Largest in berry, most
distinctive in flavor i&.nd aro
ma, a prolific .bearer, yield
ing massive and shapely bunches,
benutiful in its golden green tint
when fully ripe, it io used generally
on bath continents for forving in hot
bouses.
Four years ago one or two enthu-
niasts at Grants Pass, in Josephine
' county, southern Oregon, headed by
W. B. Sherman, undertook to prove
on a commercial scale that the Tokay
not only grew and would flourish In
the Rogue River valley, but invited
cultivation there on as Urge a scale
as Cornice pears and Yellow New
town Pippins in the Hedford district.
Being well satisfied of hi ground
Mr. Sherman used all the arts of the
trained advertiser tj set Todays
growing throughout the Grants Pass
neighborhood.
This began four years ago. He i
sent to California for two carloads
of Tokay cuttings in the winter of
' 1908. He distributed these, by train,
Btage or wagon, among the schooi
children, and offered $200 in prizes
for the biggest growth of the next
, j-ear. . Over sixty per cent of the
cuttlnga grow. '
- A regular grape campaign was car--
rled out, with grape banquets, lec
tares, : and demonstrations. Now,

AN better gardens be grown
a city than in tho country?
It is claimed t!jat the veget
ables grown by school pupils
within the city limits of Portland
this season are better than those
produced by the children of the coun
try schools. The Inspection In prog
ress the past few days, Is said to be
a revelation to tho judges.
In the Armory next Saturday, tho
work of the pupils will be put on
display, and it is claimed that no
garden exhibit ever made in Oregon
will Tequal it. The exhibit will com
prise a wilderness of garden prod
ucts in which every specimen will
approximate perfection.
More than 7000 gardens, planted
and cared for by Portland school
pupils, will be in the display and it
will present a picture of youthful in
dustry and thrift that will be inspir
ing. Are not more than 7000 gardens,
conducted under Buch circumstances,
a revelation? Is It not surprising
that children have gone so extensive
ly Into a program of production? Is
it not extraordinary that more than
7000 pairs of hands and more ihan
7000 youthful minds have Joined in
effort to make the soil produce?
And what of the things the young
folks have thus learned? What more
exalting endeavor could inspire them
than this Btudy of the processes by
which nature, soil, planting and cul
tivation will yield?
What nobler Impulse can be cre
ated in a child than to study and ob
serve the processes of nature?
orable contest of 1 6 0.
Chicago Is already tb storm cen
ter of a tremendous struggle. It Is
not believed that either of th lead
ing candidate has enough delegates
to nominal. Th Issue of which If
cither, can get a majority, depends
on the rhang of view by delegates.
A remarkable conflict to bring about
this chapge Is now the rrorelllng Im
pulse In a desperate endeavor at Chi
cago.
Among these forces, the ninety
delegates from New York are a for
midable factor. The dubious south
ern delegates are another. Demand
for a compromise candidate will
arls. and even a southern delegate
may be aide to realize what a com
promise meant in 18S0. Few men of
capacity will fail to comprehend
what compromise would mean for trie
Republican party In 1912.

EXC.LISH INSISTED ON
A
COLUSIBl'S
I
N the hurly-burly of politics little
notice has been taken of the un
veiling on Saturday last at Wash
ington of the national monument
to Columbus.
In quieter times we should have
had recalled to us the national debt
of America to the great captain who
led his' "little squadron of frail barks
across the unknown waters, and per
sisted in his uncharted voyage until
the flickering light ami! the dark
ness told of living and moving men
The bill for the erectioA by the
American people of a worthyinemjr
ial to the discoverer of our c&nntry
became law March 4, 1907. The Je-
eigning of the monument wasVe'i-
trusted to the late Daniel H. E
GROUP of manufacturers in
ftn eastern city have agreed to
Insist on their foreign work
men learning English. In face
of much difficulty the "Iron Age"
tells us they are succeeding.
Not only the American employes
of tho mills are enlisted as teachers.
The ministers of the city and the
doctors also have been set to work.
At first there was much resistance
hut this has subsided In the face of
experience. In one of the textile
mills a saving of 12 per cent In re
sults has already come about, prin
cipally In reduction of the amount of
spoiled cloth. The employe lguor
ant of English has had to guess. ,fn
erally, at the directions given hlin,
and, in the handling of machinery
has had to experiment over its use
and care.
Naturally the Indirect effect is
all for good. It tends to break down
the dividing line between the native
and tho alien races, and to foster,
first acquaintanceship, and then
friendship.
Many of the foreigners have ar
rived here to make a certain sum of
monVy and then to return with it
to their home land to invest and
spend. They have not been invited
or encouraged to acquire property
here and. to become citizens of the
republic. They have been at the
mercy of interpreters in case of wago
disturbances, and have been unable
to receive explanations, arguments,
or promises directly. The ministers
of the churcheB are among the
strongest advocates of the new de
parture.

There are some things, after all, for

time sucK a thing has happened; yet it
was treated as if t were surprising,

Those people whose patriotism cannot

Tha senate should not permit LoxJmer
