Bnainete Office ' ' 'a - Mewt , Department ' ' , - Job Department Entered at the Peatoffloa la Salon, SUGAR MADE Dr. C. H. Gore of 'the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture has discovered a process whereby sugar can be manufactured from corn. The corn, is ground into meal and the starch extracted. The starch is then mixed with barley malt, after which the process is very simple. It is to be presumed that this newly discovered process will be "given to the public, since a public servant has been the one to find it - " t - And id, this qase no, doubt the cane sugar barons will before long be confronted with a greater array of competition than they have been expecting. When tariff protection was afford ed to sugar-beets and beet sugar in the McKinley law in 1897, certain cane sugar refiners made haste to buy a controlling in terest in some important beet sugar factories, with the idea of gaining control of both the cane sugar and the beet sugar in dustry.? Fortunately not enough stock in enough factories was purchased to give Ihe complete control desired, and some new beet sugar factories have been built, and many more are pro jected, in! a; general movement, that is being fostered now , J jSo there is enough competition between the-twko-sttgar in terest to keep prices within bounds with a small tariff charge letting in foreign sugars in case of an attempted corner causing a runaway jmarket ; ' ... , '... tm - .There are now 106 beet sugar factories in the United States, and the present movement for new factories is likely, tQ increase the number, materially. ' It should. Oregon, with no factory at all, ought to-have a dozeri-f - And; the Salem district ought to have half of these Perhaps,' too, Salem may secure one of the factories making sugar, from corn. It may be that the new corn sugar industry, along with the beet sugar industry, may render us independent of foreigniBugarimay make ours a self sufficient nation in that field,'. giving us an this respect a further diversification of In dustries; a tendency that canttot be too strongly, urged, till the United States shall b producing every article now brought, in whole or iri part from foreign countries, that we can grow or make within our own borders. There will! be no surprise among well posted men over the discovery, of Dr. Gore. '. Some sugar or syrup is found in nearly all fruits -and flowers, and in nearly "all the sweet vege tables-even turnips. Some 'Russian colonists Jjthe Salem djs-1 inci raaac sugar xor.xncir own ue irwm cairuia, ,L, -,, Up to the first part of the last century very few people ouVide of Asia, had ever seen or tasted cane sugar, and beet sugar !was unknown'. '.Wheh France began 4o make sugar from beets, in 1806, French growers could produce beets with only 5 :PeiM cent of sugar, .Up to 1836 it took 18 tons of beets to make one ton of sugar. Kqw beets with less than 12 per cent of sugar are considered unprofitable for making sugar, and the Oregon Agricultural College has found in their exepriments that the Willamette valley can grow sugar. beets with 25 per cent sugar; equal to the best sugar beet districts of Germany or any other country. V ' - . v . - t f ! - ' j In case of the development of a great com sugar industry, under? the newly discovered!' process, -perhaps a progressive in crease of the ehemical contents of corn ,to- give- the best results may come about, through experimentation; the same as has been 1 . . 1 . .

There is a prospect of an inde pendent mill ihere two of them ;' one of them of 100 per cent operation, including spinning and weaving, But there is noth ing definite in this, respect Tight now." SELLING ARMS j Ordinarily the Oregon States in an Is opposed to the 'American government lending Itself to carry ing on any war. At the same time It believes the criticism re garding, selling arms , to Mexico unfounded, untimely, and unfair. Six months ago we could not have old anna to Mexico, bat ve have recognized 'her and we hate a per fect right to do builness with Mexico. .When the war came on We seized the opportunity to sell arras to everyi other nation. The lame principle prevails with Mex ico." : The Mexican government la tuying' arms .and . we .have the same right to sell them that we had to sell to England and France. ' Furthermore, America , Is in a measure responsible for the peaco of the .western hemisphere, and there will 'never be peace in .Mex ico until' the government is rtrong enough to enforce its decree, and 1 1, .it in can a in common irjlance, i until the Mexican goternnnt has 'an armed force behiudl every" word it utteru.

FEOM CORN difference between the richest man in Portland and the poorest when it comes to the enforcement of the law. The law is not made for either tbo rich or the poor, but for both of them. Any law that winks at the violation of the rich and ferociously hunts out the poor devil is not fair. The only admin istration of law that can be toler ated .Is one that knows neither class or condition of men. The prohibition law is a law for all men to obey, but the rich have not been obeying it in many In stances. They have felt that they were -above the law. It. will, take a-few arrests to make them real ize that the law applies to them as well as to the man In the gut- ' The Oreson Statesman has con tended many times that these peo ple do not realize that they are committing a crlmo.

Hiram Johnson, presi dential aspirant, has lost none of his visor,, none of his magnetism, nona of bis flow of UngusKe bnt this year he is laboring under" dis- l'1 i! nc.i. It f.t flpnarent in hisjplay is a three-act farce entitled nomination. It was a strong ap peal, it was masterly appeal, but after,, reading it carefully, one cannot help heing impressed that something is lacking. He did not land with all fours as the sports men say. The thing lacking was an iusue. Senator Johnson is at his beat when he has an issue. Give him something to talk about and no one in America can make a better case or defend it iiore ably, but he is not happy when he is erasing the straws In hopes of finding among them a log on which he can stand. The Cleveland address was in no sense a 'disappointment. Senator Johnson has lost none of his perr sonal characteristics, but he did confirm what the country expect edj that he Is minus an outstand ing issue in this campaign. A'CTIXU IN If AltMOXY It 4s now proposed to have a busVess director for the five northwestern states. This is car rying out the cooperation Idea. One state acting alone can bring some people to this territory, but five acting together can bring ten or twenty times as many. As a matter of fact, the tourists who come to Orebn, for Instance, ought to visit the other states. We want them to, for we want them to be acquainted with the entire north west and we want them to settle in the place where they will be most contented. We hope that will be In Oregon, but if they would be more contented In Wash ington, they should "reside , in Washington. What the northwest needs is contented citizens, and it does not pay to settle down in the first town yon come to. HIGH TAXES The government - officials will always tell us that high taxes are local. Local officials will tell us the government taxes are high. The fact is, every branch of gov ernment from top to bottom Is at fault We have too much taxa tion everywhere. It Is hard to reduce taxes anywhere.. Marlon county can reduce tax es outside of Its Improvements; Salem can reduce taxes outside of its improvements. We have gone wild on taxation and we have let a lot of weeds grow up. . It is time to pull them out and-get back to where people .can pay their txes without 'such heavy burdens. I The Mellon proposition cuts! off $350,000,000. State taxes cai be rodnced and county and city taxes can be. t is no to Sus to see tfitt. the taxing bodies all reduce. A NASTY BIESS The latest sgandal unearthed in, Hollywood is just as disgusting as the most salacious they have had. In some, places some of Mable Normand's films are being banish ed, which Is very proper, but the other- girl's films 'should also be looked after. So far as the pub lic knows, Mable Normand was fully dressed when in the man's apartment, where ladies hesitate ta go, but the other girl was at least partially undressed. It is all a nasty, disreputable, rotten mess, and if Will Hayes does not take action to stop this, he cannot ex pect a continuation of the support he 'has been receiving. . ! ' AN'OTHER crime : George Parker was murderer, and for being a murderer the sta'.e murdered him. That is the law; a hideous law. While it is a law the state must obey it, but cer tainly the time has come to repeal the capital punishment jaw. The death of George Parker , was not necessary. It is wrong to force such an Indictment against the state' and it should not -be.? It was a crime on the part of the state of Oregon to murder George Park er, no matter if he had previous ly murdered another man. The law ought to be changed. KUXXIXO DOWN A DEER Can a man run down a deer? We have men who claim they have done so. H is a long hard chase, wherein the deer has the advant age at first and the s man has the advantage ,at the last. A deer uses all Its strength from the be ginning. It has not learned to conserve Its strength for endur ance, and because he mixes brains with his brawn, the manVlns. The . Corvallis' t Gazette-Times has a corking good holiday edi tion.

C6 HOW LILLIAN CAME FROM HER RIDE BACK Marion's eyes widened with in terest aa she saw her mother des cend from Colonel Traver's auto mobile and watched the stately po liteness i of the officer ih taking leave of her. That he had meant to escort her to the house, I guessed, and I smiled to myself as Lillian frustrated his purpose by giving him her hand in farewell. He bent over it ceremoniously, and Marion gasped ecstatically. "Oh Auntie Madge, Uncle Rob ert!" she exclaimed. "Isn't it just like a movie! Only he ought to have kissed her hand. I don't see why he didn't. Oh-h, Uncle Robert, don't! You squeezed me so tight you hurt." "I'm sorry, dear." The man loosened the arm which he had in voluntarily tightened around the child at the sting of her heedless unconscious words, and Marion, wriggling down, ran to meet her mother. Robert Savarin rose as Lillian- came toward the steps, hd I ad roitly slipped in front of him, de termined to keep the management cf the situation in my own hands. "Do hurry, Lillian." I entreated" laughingly. "Here's a starving man who has wafted breakfast so that you and I may have a second cup of Coffee with him." f , "Hefd better look out, or I may devour the whole breakfast," she retorted lightly, coming up the steps. "There's nothing Mke a motor ride in this air to give you a second appetite. Robert,- you were a desr to wait Thank you." as he took her motor coat from her. "Now for the breakfast room!" Dicky Helps. , Nothing could have been more casual, more matter-of-fact than her manner, and yet I saw that Marlon's ridiculous little speech concerning the movies had roused again the absurd jea'lous'fy" con cealed - behind Robert Savarhi's calmness. J Would he be ' able to control It, or would he With a heartfelt little sigh, of reef, I saw Dicky rotinding the corner of the house, and knew that it he were only in the mood to set going his never falling stock of nonsense, there would, be no chance for Robert Savarin to be tray his jealously or to brood over it. ' : ' . - v "Morning, everybody!" Dicky called. '.'Madge, may I inquire why you did not waken me when you rose to be queen, oi the May this morning?

Madge Signal Lillian; j "Cupid alone 1 knows what 1 a woman will do, and he won't tell," Dicky observed, walking to the dining-room door and . bowing low as he ushered us in. As, I pressed close after Lillian, I managed to give her an old signal which we had used when we were doing government work? together during the war, and hfch "meant that I must speak to her alone as soon as possible. It was not un til we were all seated at the table that she was able to assure me by arr answering signal that she had understood and would act upon my message. ;,, There was never a gayer break fast table. Dicky was in one f his most nonsensical moods, and I breathlessly aided him in keeping the conversation at the frivolous key to which he had pitched Jit. I think Lillian comprehended what I was trying to do, for she tossed our absurdities back to us admira bly, and Robert Sayarin while, a close observer could see his sab-i merged grouch manfully tried to hide his annoyance. "Will you motor with me this morning?" he asked; Lillian. 'I'd love to," Lillian rejoined cordially, but her eyes "were on me, and I saw she was waiting for a cue to manage the prior interview I wibhed. ' "Can yon delay yonr jtrip jnst a few minutes, Robert?' I asked In genuously. -"Lillian has been pro mising for ages to draw me the outline of a fascinating little suit for Junior which she saw in the shops one day. And I ,do want to get started making It today. I. have the material all ready, and I'll keep her only a little while." . "Of ccurse,"as' long , as you Wish," the artist responded court eously, and 1 relaxed with the as surance that I would be able to warn Lillian of Robert's reaction toward her work, before he saw her.

"No, but it's something almost as startling," I feturned, "and I havono business repeating it to you, but I leel somehow that 1 must." ' .
