Oregon republicans
are of the progressive wing of the
party and if they are true to their
past convictions they will give their
support to LaFollette not to Taft.
TO ERADICATE SMIT.
When the bedrock of granite
was laid in the walls of
the earth,
'Twas the purpose of Time
To build, through the aeons of
ages, a place for the
birth
Of a manhood sublime.
'Twas the purpose of youth
when he stands in his
strength at the start
Of life's strenuous race.
To build, through the days and
the years, with his mind
and his heart
The man for the place.

Scientific agriculturists at the Wash
ington state college at Pullman are
striving hard to eliminate smut from
wheat, and in a bulletin Just issued
set forth some very interesting In
formation regarding the prevalence of
smut and the best method of treating
for it.

THE RESULT IX SPOKANE.
That street work may now be had
ir Spokane at prices ranging from 20
to 40 per cent lower than in past years
Is the startling statement made by
Charles M. Fassett, former mayor of
Spokane and now commissioner of
public utilities under the commission
plan.
According to Mr. Fassett the Spo
krne commission has broken up the
old contracting ring that used to make
tig profits off city work. As a result j
the city now gets more for its money
than it did yet the standard of work
is maintained and the same wages are
given -workmen as formerly.
It is very natural that such results
should follow the adoption of the
commission pla There is no fixed
price at which public work is to be
done. Concerns that do street pav
ing, build bridges and lay sewers get
all they can out of the work they do.
I' there is "jockeying" they will
"jockey." At times they form com
binations and job a city by submitt
ing bids that are seemingly competi
tive but are not so in reality. It is
often easy to do crafty work such as
this when affairs are managed by an
ur.wieldly council. A council is a
legislative rather than an executive
bedy and it does not handle adminis
trative work in a close and business
like manner.
It is more difficult to impose upon I
a city when it has the commission
form of government. By the nature
of things a commission of three men
pf.id to manage the affairs of a city, i
may g-t down to busines;, more thor- j
oughly than will an unpaid city coun
cil. If they don't do so it is easy to
check up matters and see who is at
fault. Under the council system it
i often hard to t?Il who is to blame
when affairs are neglected. There are
too many officials and responsibility
is not closely fixed as it is fixed under
the commission plan.
1911 is estimated by the Chief Grain
Inspector of Washington to amount to
$7,000,000. This enormous loss has led
lo the organization of a definite "Anti
Smut Campaign." The leaders in this
movement recently met in convention
at Pullman to discuss the situation
and to plan for a systematic-campaign
of education, experimentation and or
ganization to eradicate this costly
pest. As a result of their deliberations
the following conclusions were reach
ed: The increased prevalence of smut I"
due largely to the increase in acreage
of fall-sown, as fall-sown grain is
more susceptible to the disease than
spring-sown, but spring grain is not
entirely free from the trouble.
Smu infection comes mostly from
smutty seed, but weather and soil con
ditions influence the amount of in
fection, and there is a possibility of
infection from smut in the ground if
very smutty grain has been recently
threshed near by.
Solutions for treating seed wheat
should be carefully made in certain
definite proportions. Some wheat
growers . have been successful while
using haphazard methods, but they
are men whose long experience en
ables them to "guess" very accur
ately the strength of solutions used.
Safety lies in exactly measured
strengths.
The strength of vitrol solution is one
pound of vitrol (copper sulphate or
"blu-stone") to five gallons of water.
Wheat should be soaked in this so
lution for not less than ten nor more
than fifteen minutes. Some success
ful farmers have used as strong as one
pound vitrol to two and one-half gal
lons of water, soaking not more than
ten minutes, without serious injury t0
the wheat. Too strong solution or too
long soaking will kill the wheat.
Formalin should be used one pound
to forty-five gallons water, the wheat
thorounghly vvetred by dipping or
sprinkling, then covered with wet
sacks for two hours, then either seed
ed at once or allowed to dry thor
oughly. Unbroken smut balls must be re-

TODAY'S IlIHTHDAY SKETCH.
Waldemar Kokovsteff, who lias
been acting Premier of Russia since
Stolypin was tusassinated, and who
will in all probability be continued
in that high office, turns fifty-five to
ll' y, according to the new calendar.
The career of Kokovstoff is of pecu
liar interest to the western world,
tor as leader of the liberal party in
russia, that country is indebted to
him for every one of the reforms in
penal legislation, in the organization
and in the management of her pris
ons that have taken place during the
last quarter of a century. Russian
prisoners are still far from bearing
any comparison with those of Ameri
ca but they are incomparably better
than they were twenty-five years ago
and the management on the whole,
is humane.
Kokovtzoff belongs to the petty no
bility of the Province of Xocgorod. He J
was reared at the Emperor Alexander!
Lyceum at St. Petersburg, is happily
married to a Mile. Anna Oebm. and ;
s a popular figure in court circles 1
and in St. Petersburg society. He. is )
muc h more genial and social than was '
Stolyp n, who was too imperious, too
lorrioiy in earne?t and toi opinion-i
ate.l ever to become a favorite in the
great world of Uuss'a. Kokovstoff'
nr t became associated with the
'reasury department in 1S90 and i
from that time forth he had had a I
very active share in the direction of!
the economic and financial policy of '
the empire.
Somewhere from over the border-'
land, j
Came a wonderful Te'ler of Tales '
one day; j
And he walked with the children, ''
hand :n hand
The children who followed him a!l
the way,
Who loved him the best, and who
loved so well
The wonderful tales that he had 'to
tell.
with eager ears
For they listened,
that heard
Of tho wee, wise rabbit, king of the
wood ;
Of the baffled fox, and each beast and
bird
That the children knew for they
understood!
And ever they fallowed him. hand In
hand,
On his journey back to the border
land. There the way begin, and the way
must end,
Though h's day was bright, and his
sun shone high;
And he waiting friends bade the
parting friend,
As he crossed the border, a last
good-by.
Oh, sad was the world that he had to
leave,
i But mo.-t did the hearts of the r hil-
these balls, and if later broken in j dren grieve!
the soed wh-at they infect the grain.
LA FOLLETTE IS THE MAX.
Why should the republican "lead
ers" try to head Oregon into the Taft
crlumn? President Taft has done
ncthing for Oregon and he is not in
sympathy with the political thought
of this state. When he was here he
had not one word of praise for the
j'togrevslve measures adopted through
the votes of the republicans of this
state and which measures have made
Oregon famous throughout the coun
try. Why don't the "leaders" rally about
the standard of La Follette? He Is
the leader of the progressive repub
licans the faction that predominates
in Oregon. Taft is a reactionary and
he hag been a slothful easy going
Experiment." by the Experiment Sta
tu n and by practical farmers will be
begun this fall, to determine what so
Irtions are most efficient and what
conditions must be guarded against
Complete eradication of smut by the
united effort of every wheat grower Is
the surest protection against the pest.
WHY M C II A SLHiHT.
The committee of 15 named to con
duct the Taft campaign in Oregon is
composed exclusively of Portland
men. There is not a man on the com.
mittee from eastern Oregon, the Wil
lamette valley or southern Oregon.
Why such a slight as this when two
thirds the vote comes from outside of
Portland? Do the surviving leaders
of the late lamented assembly still
l think they are the whole show and
that the gentlemen who live in the
"hinterland" are not to be trusted
with such important work as the man
agement of the Taft campaign for
ren'omination ? Or do they concede
that the rest of the state will go for
La Follette?

For over quarter of a century Dr.
Wiley, the famous government expert,
has conducted an active campaign for
pure food in the interest of public health.
His advocacy in a recent speech of the
use of Cotton Oil as a food is, there
fore, especially significant ; it simply em
phasizes the wholesomencss of Cotto
kne the vegetable oil shortening
vhich is composed so essentially of Cot
ton Oil, the ute of which he so strongly

by physicians generally, because of its
purity and wholesomcness. It has been

over twenty-five years.
