Arnold Bennett. GEORGE e. HAMIIERLAI W" ITHOUT opposition, Senator Chamberlain was renomi- w w natea ay me mjuiocruui m Friday's primaries. It was a fitting tribute to his conspicuous 'public services. In very public position In which he . ka rvr1 hai hnn hpffl an active. faithful and effective servant, Aa governor of Oregon, he served In the great transition period in which the etate wan passing from V a aIJ mnHAnlrv rnnvAnHnn V - tem to popular government. It was in hla time that Statement One was made effective, and Statement One In Oregon Is undoubtedly the Influence that brought direct elec tion of senator to the United States. Nobody knows how momentously different might have been the re sult If another kind of governor had been In the executive chair at Balern during such a period. As senator, he has risen, step on tep, to a position of great influ ence In the sonate, where hla Charm of personality and great knowledge of men and measures bave made him one of the leaders of that bodv. lie holds powerful Committee assignments, including the chairmanship of the committee on Military Affairs, one of the pow erful committees of the body, and juBt now one of extreme import ance. Something of Senator Chamber lain's standing with the administra tion is shown in the following let ter to him from Secretary Lane, , aent out from Washington in the news dispatches of last Thursday: My Dear Senator On behalf of the president, I want to thank you for the very prompt manner in which you disposed of the Meant' resolution. 1 think 1 know how hard It la to get immediate action in congress when they have ao many matters to dis pose of. It Is good to know that you are always on hand to help out. Let me srso express my own appre ciation. - THE PUBLIC MARKET THE plan of a public market cannot be tested in a single day. The complaint that at some of the wagons Saturday as much was charged as at regular markets is offset by the fact that at many of the wagons the prices were lower. it is amo asserted that some of the markets lowered prices to meet the competition. It is the fact also that all the farmers were not familiar enough with values to properly adjust prices at the first trial. There are things about every activity that be ginners have to learn. This morn ing beautiful Oregon strawberries are selling In the public market at ten cents per box, and at some wagons at three boxes Tor a quar ter. Nobody believes for one mo ment that prices so low would bave been obtainable except by the public market plan. The Journal had little to do with the establishment of the public market. But a great effort has been made by the Progressive Bus iness Men's club and others to launch the market, and their ef forts in behalf of the public should be recognized by giving the new arrangement a fair trial. PRESBYTERIANS VITAL questions of church pol icy will concern the Presby , terian General Assembly, ' which meets at Chicago this week. One of these questions will be the position of the church in the field of sociology. A few years ago the church took a prominent lead by establishing a department of church and labor but activity In this department has, according to Charles Stelzle, almost entirely ceased on account of an Increasing conservatism in the General As sembly and among some of the wealthy members of the church. Another Important department la the country life department which has been operated for about five years. Those who represent this -department, continues Mr. Stelile, boldly declare that the country life problem is almost wholly economic and social and that before much can be done by the churches in the country they ' must give serious attention to the question of helping the farmer pro duce more and better crops. Country life institutes have been held . in which country ministers wera urged to study agriculture. . A minority in the church made ao great a protest against this in novation that the General Assem bly last year voted almost unani mously to abolish the country life Department aa soon aa practicable. T116 ,.(fl?artment' J18 no.t yet been ab61ished and charges of disobedi ence to the mandates of the assem bly have been freely made. Mean while a number or presbyteries have voted to retain the depart ment. There is also said to be much dissatisfaction throughout the church with the executive com mission, the body which acts in the interim between the meetings of the General Assembly. A strong fight will also be made for the existence of the National Board of Home Missions concern ing which over 100 overtures or resolutions have been submitted for consideration. Some indorse the work of the board, others con demn It. Last but not least is the old fight against the Union Theolog ical Seminary of New York City, which since the time of Charles Augustus Brlggs has been charged with being the breeding place of heretical preachers. The Union Theological Seminary has always stood for independence In religious thinking and teaching and has steadfastly declined to put itself under the Jurisdiction of the assembly. FRIDAY'S RESULTS T HE unjust newspaper fight made against him, did not prevent Dr. C. J. Smith from being chosen the Democratic nominee for governor. Though matched against strong men his plurality Is heavy. His greatest strength appeared In the two coun ties in which he has resided, a fact of great significance, indicat ing that where he is best known, he is strongest. These counties were Umatilla and Multnomah, in the former of which, he resided until a couple of years ago. His Indorsement In Umatilla Is almost unanimous, while he carried Mult nomah by a plurality approximat ing 800. The character and standing of those who disputed with him for the nomination are a splendid tribute to Dr. Smith and an Indi cation of his strength. Judge Ben nett is a man of great ability whose name has long been a fa miliar one in the homes of the state. Mr. Manning holds a dis tinguished social and professional position and has a strong follow ing, notably in Multnomah county, where he received a very heavy vote. Colonel Miller Is a man of high reputation, and though little known, Mr. Cobb is a young man of unblemished character. Matched against Dr. Smith as the Republican nominee, Is Dr. James Withycombe, who has long rendered good service as director of the experiment station at the state agricultural college. PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARIES I X THE primary . elections to be held In Pennsylvania tomorrow there is a national intefeat in the senatorial contest. The Democratic nomination lies between A. Mitchell Palmer, an Administration leader in the House of Representatives, and Henry Budd, who is described as a "Ryan" Democrat. For the Progressive nomination, Gifford Pinchot has no rival. The Republicans will choose be tween Boise Penrose and A. Ben jamin Dimmick, who, while a stanch advocate of the economic ideas for which the Republican party stands, is a man with a cean record politically and one who is in favor of internal party reform. ins defeat, however. Is forecasted by impartial observers who nre- dict that , the Pennsylvania Repub licans will again endorse Penrose and all that he stands for. It Is also predicted that Palmer will be the Democratic nominee. In these circumstances Palmer will have a good prospect for elec tion as the nomination of Penrose will alienate thousands of Repub lican voters who are weary and resentful of continued boss rule. Penrose means the indorsement of a method of party government that is synonymous with all that is degrading and demoralizing in American politics, the debauching of elections, the use of public of- nce ror corrupt purposes, the de basing of legislatures by graft and special privilege, and the domina tion of the people by a political machine. Penrose means everything against which good citizenship has striven. His nomination will bring further discredit on Pennsylvania Republicans. If he is nominated and not re pudiated in November there is in deed no balm in Gilead. IN LOUISIANA T AX reform is being seriously considered in Louisiana and Governor Hall Is preparing to submit to the legislature an alternative plan of assessment re vision looking to an equalisation of assessments for the purpose of increasing the income of the state. He has three ideas to suggest. One looks to a law fixing definitely the proportion of value at which property shall be assessed. An other would give the governor the right to remove assessors making it Impossible for one district to have one .valuation and another district another valuation. The third law would establish a State Tax Commission for a Board of Equalization, giving the commis sion power to revise assessments for ,state purposes but leaving theJ parish entire freedom in. maklnsr I the tax rate high or low. - 1 Mearhime the Association of A. Commerce has prepared a bill of, its own, based on what is known as the Somer's unit system, which BcnoHtM t Via Iflnsl frnm Imnrnvft, ments and aims to compel the own- er' of unimproved land to bear his j fair share of the burden of govern-, i ment and to protect the property owner who improves his holdings from unjust penalization. The bill is to be made applicable to ail cities and towns or more than 1000 inhabitants. It la urged that this law will reach the tax dodger and the unenterprising land owner. MOKE ALASKA LEGISLATION" A' T THE request of President Wilson, Senator Chamberlain has been asked by Secretary Lane to secure a senate con ference for mapping out a program for further legislation for open ing Alaska. Senator Chamberlain Is encoun tering difficulty with the plan on . - ... . u account of the anxiety of the sen ate and house to adjourn. Mem bers are to come up for re-election and with the exception of the single month of March, 1913, they have been in continuous session for 16 months. They have had little opportunity to visit their states and fix up their political fences for re-election. The president is pushing his trust legislation, and is anxious to have it disposed of before adjourn ment. The situation Is not favor ablefor Alaska legislation, though a strong effort will be made to reach it before the summer recess. Fault can scarcely be found with members for their anxiety to re turn to their homes, after nearly two years at the national capital, during which they have wrestled with and passed some of the most important legislation in the history of congress. It is, however, a fact that they will lose nothing by ab sence from their states so long as they are engaged in the construct ive service in which they have been so effective. The people appreciate service. They begrudge no public servant the salary they pay him, when his work stands out in constructive endeavor. They are universally disposed to continue at their posts of public duty, men who meet the responsibilities of their position. The Alaska legislation ought to be finished up at this time if mem bers can be induced to do it. A Democratic congress can provide itself with no better campaign ma-l6' to.rlal with whir-h to n. hfn ih. terlal with which to go before the country than by enacting legisla tion supplemental to the Chamber lain railroad act for the complete emancipation and development of Alaska.

That we are making some pro gress In this education is shown by recent events in connection with Mexico. Had any other men than Taft and Wilson been in the presi dential chair we would long before this have intervened with armed force south of the Rio Grande. Even if war with Mexico should come the fact would not be perti nent to the world movement for peace on account of the character of the people against whom our force would be exercised. AS President Wilson said We have gone down to Mexico to serve mankind if we can find out the way.

To the Editor of The Journal I have been reading the letters from the people with much Interest, and at times with much dis gust with the unfounded claims for e Hqr business. Ella M. Finney figures as to loss to the farmer In case of the adoption of prohibition. There are enough underfed people to consume all the produce of the farm at fair prices. The saloon Interests should be put to the cost of keeping the degenerates after they have robbed them of their manhood and woman hood. Instead, they dump their vic tims, for charity to care for, as de scribed by Mrs. Hattle B. Lawrence of the Pisgah home. The liquor in terests not. only rob men of money and ability to earn money, they als make degenerates of them, then re fuse to take care of them after they have mined them; and they also rob the state and charity by compelling them to take care of them. This Is tne way liquor helps to pay taxes. It just pays a little, and raisea the taxes from 200 to 400 per cent, and never falls to make heavy taxes on the people. Carl Schmidt says Kansas Is a wet to know something about it, and 1 will say that this man's statement is un true. Prohibition is the doctrine of self defense. Kansas is simply protecting Its people from the arch enemy of hu man happiness. Prohibition serves th child as well as the man. It s for the wife aa well as the husband. It Is for society as well as for the Individ ; Urn "".W"AVdtf.r?i!ltakin, lessons by hand! aia Binary, n neipa the milk man, the farmer, the banker, the butcher, tna grocer, the newsboy, the dentist, the book seller, the photographer, the tai lor, the dressmaker, the merchant and the manufacturer. Prohibition Is the best thing for Or egon, with a governor like Governor West to enforce it and the power to recall delinquent officers. G. M. LAUGHLIN. Skeptical of Public Markets. Portland, May 18.

How many of the farmers will do this? It would be a grand thing if the middleman could be removed, but the farmers will never accomplish the feat until they come in closer touch with the consumer, on an honest and up right basis; for no one will take the trouble to go to the market for pro duce and lug it home when he can go to the grocery, get what is want ed at a less figure and have Jt deliv ered at the home. I would like to see the f&rmera make a success of the publlo markets, and if they do not they will have no one to blame but themselves. p. c. M. Figures Amuse This Writer. Portland. May 18.

Russell, In The Journal, asks. Why cannot our rivers be stocked with the different kinds of food fish? That Is what should be done I too am a fisher man and would go a-flshing." But what do I get for my license money? ! Fish that are of no account, or else j none at all, but never a trout which I pay my money to catch. The tax is a grand imposition for the benefit of i the Rod and Gun club men. so that they may take their outings and reap the benefit at others' expense. There's no greater pleasure than fishing, but where is the pleasure when there is nothing to catch that is fit to eat. Out ings for fishing by the -workers means a tax to benefit tbe wealthy and idle, who can take the first run of the trout season and who get the .main run of the fish, while the people come In as "suckers." It always was and al ways will be so, because they won't look to their own Interests at the polls. Therefore, let us grin and bear it. I was told' once that fishing was "a fool at one end and a worm at the other." May be it is so. OSBORNE YATES. Wine Grape Growers' Profits. Portland. May 18.

This isn't really the story of Clif ford Joseph Boush, rear admiral In command of one of the divisions of the North Atlantic fleet now swinging at anchor off Vera Crux. It Is rather a study In character building. "Boush," eaid one of his superiors the other day, "is one of the most ad mirable commanding officers in the navy. He may lack the darlngmd ini tiative of Mayo, for example. If he has Imagination, he holds it in check. But he oan always be depended on to do his duty to the last ounee. One need never worry when Boush is In command of a situation." He wasn't that sort when he waa a cadet. Then every one worried if Boush was even remotely in touch with the outposts of what might at some tlmj develop Into a situation. Be cause Boush would surely muss things up. He was as mischievous as a monkey in a jampot. Hla theory of having a good time was to so annoy his official masters in the naval acad emy at Annapolis that they would go into the woodshed, and lock the door. and begin to sharpen their swords. Then Boush was happy. It was a by product of that disposition that made him the man he is. "Boush was a two year old whan It happened," said one of his friends. "He was a frisky little devil always- ready to fight. The other cadet was a nose in the air sort, anyhow. No one liked him. I don't even remember his name. but it seems to me that he put on too many airs. Hazing was not permitted Inter mittently any more than It is now. It was strictly forbidden to take a new cadet out Into the campus and make him gnaw off a lot of dandelions. But this fresh cadet could not be endured by the upjer classmen. They abducted -him one night. Then, because he and Boush were nearly of a sloe, they di rected that he fight Boush. That made Boush very happy. Afterward some one told. "It seems to me that 20 or perhaps 21 men were expelled from the naval academy for that affair," said the rem iniscent friend. "I do not recall that it was a particularly brutal hazing, as hazings go. The prime object of a hazing is not to reconcile the hazed to an unfamiliar environment, anyhow nut a nurran w-s raisea, just as a hurrah Is raised occasionally nowa days. At such times it la not the quality of the hazing, but the quantity of the clamor that decides the case." Only one of the score of men ex pelled was permitted to return to the academy. That one was Boush. After h had, been out for more than a year the ruling authorities reviewed his case. It was then discovered that he was much the youngest of those con cerned in the affair. It appeared that he had been put forward by some of CANADA'S BORROWINGS FROM THE U. S. By John M. Oskison. Out of every $100 borrowed by the government, the municipalities, the railways, the public service and indus trial corporations of Canada last year the United State, furnished $13.66. This was $1.36 more than Canada It self furnished; the rest $74.24 came from the lenders of Great Britain. In a very Intelligent review of the bond market of Canada last year, the head of one of the Dominion's big pest bond houses pointed out the fact that the government, the cities, and the corporations of Canada borrowed $373,795,295 In 12 months. The lending to Canada by money owners of the United States of more than $50, 000,000, constituted a new record. But it is expected that In vestors below the line will from this time forward take more and more in terest In what the bankers of the Do minion have to offer. Both to Canadian and United States Investors these words written by the bond expert I mentioned ought to be of real significance: "That we are to 'mark time," how- lze three an'd even four times as much if their land were used for the pro duction of other varieties of grapes. We find in this report that there are 170,000 acres of wine grapes In Califor nia, and It is estimated that the vine yardists of the state were paid $5,000, 000 by the wineries jof 1913. Assum ing that the entire $6,000,000 was for regular wine grape; the total Income on the 170,000 acres would make a gross average of $35 per acre. Now the same authority shows that the growers of raisin grapes received an "average of $75 per ton, or $58 per acre, while table grapes brought $67 per ton at the freight station, or $140 per acre gross." The Sonoma County News, published in the wine district, makes this comment: "Just imagine an agricultural industry which only brings in $30 or $36 per acre gross, to say nothing of net returns per acre. A man could raise hay on most any land and get that much or more." It is plain to be seen that the -700 wineries of California do not repre sent as much money value as the 170. 000 acres of land which are planted to wine grapes, and yet they get more out of the grapes than the people who own the land and raise the grapes. Now It is also plain to be seen that in their desire to perpetuate what to them only is a good financial proposi tion, the liquor interests lay all pos sible stress on the loss accruing if statewide prohibition obtains. It is well to ask, "Whose loss?". Certainly after reading the reports of actual re sults, we find that statewide prohibi tion could not fall to bring prosperity to California, especially to the grape growers. MRS. L ApDITON.
