"Having driven the price or wool below the free trade level by the threat of free trade Willing to the democrats now lOame Bat Not claim for the Un To Praise. derwood bill the credit for the slight jecovery which has ensued, and blame protection for the preceding decline. This is the ingenious argument by which the East Oregonlan supports the pretense that the administration las conferred a boon on Oregon Strange that the woolgrowers ask re lief from this self-same boon." Port land Oregonian. There- is nothing wrong with the foregoing excepting that it Is wholly false. The East Oregonian has at no time credited the Underwood tariff for the present high price of wool. This paper has at no time blamed the former protective tariff for any for mer decline in wool prices. For the Portland Oregonian to make such claims Is an insult to fairness and In telligence. What the East Oregonian has point to out is the obvious fact that general business prosperity coupled with cir cumstances of supply and demand has more to do with wool prices than does the tariff. That this Is true Is shown by the fact the price f wool tinder free trade at this time Is as high as was the price two years ago when the high tariff was in effect and before the presidential campaign had even started. It is shown by the fact wool Is now higher than it was a year ago when the tariff was still In effect though revision was underway. It is shown by the fact wool Is now higher than in 108 when the high tariff was undisturbed but prosperity was at a halt because of the 1S0T financial panic. The Underwood tariff has not helped the price of wool, but the cur rency legislation has. Had other con ditions remained the same the price of wool would be lower than former ly. The present good price is due to a shortage in supply together with the fact there is a healthy demand due t) i hopeful business outlook, result ing more from the currency legisla tion than anything else-. In other words the administration legislated against' the sheepmen with reference t j the tariff, but legislated in their favor and in favor cf everybody else regarding the currency. The adminis tration took away the sheepman's so-' called Lfe preserver which had been shown to be needless In fair weathtr and Inadequate in times of storm; in return it has pr?vidrd a currency plan which in the view cf well informed men Irrespective of politics will pre- vent financial rtomr.t. The adminis tration has stepped the sheepmen from earning money through special piivl leg; but has provided conditions un der which he may earn the same prof its without any favoritism. Why should there be complaint? The Portland Oregonian is willing to accord blame but is too narrow to accord praise where praise is due. It also wanders from the truth in blam ing democrats for having "driven the price cf wool below the Tree trade lerl" last year. The standpat news papers did that witk their calamity ohr.. Tliey would have done !t this er If Utt a! ore. Attorney General Cra ford has a measure which he is trying to submit to the voters this fall. Ia A Vicious substance his plan is to Proposal. do away with the circu lation of popular petitions in order to get initiative measures on the ballot. Instead any voter could cause an initiative measure to be 1 laced upon the ballot by the mere Payment of $200 to the secretary of state. The scheme proposed by the attor ney general is not meritorious. It is one of the most vicious amendments ever proposed to the initiative law. Should that amendment be adopted the initiative would become subject to more abase than at present. Par ties desiring some measure submitted for ulterior purposes could gain their end with ease. They could place a measure on the ballot without consult ing the public at all and wholly re gardless of public sentiment. The merit of the present plan over the Crawford plan Is that nowadays a measure cannot be submitted under the initiative without considerable ef fort and without some degree of pop ular endorsement. The Crawford plan would allow any man or any coterie with 1200 to place any measure Im aginable on the ballot. It would make the Initiative an easy tool for faddists and Jobbers. The plan should be defeated. A San Francisco gentleman has an oriental rug which cost him $25,009 and Is said to have been owned by the sultan of Turkey in the lth century, what a fish! what a fish!

John Burroughs. 77 years old to day, is of that type that Is always young. This is because John Bur roughs at 77 is as Interested in life as he was at 17. To a man who sees a miracle in every springtime, nay. iu every dawn, age is a -word noth-; ing more. j It Is difficult for the .thousands who have been given their first In-' sight into the mystery and wonder of the writings of John Burroughs to realize that he passed a large part of his life in the treasury department at Washington and in later years was a national bank examiner. How the author of "Leaf nd Tendril" remain ed until he was nearly 50 in an office far from woods and bird songs Is a mystery. It is almost as hard to pic ture John Burroughs poring over dollar marks as to realize that the man who gave us "Alice In Wonder land" taught mathematics for a liv ing. Of the many books which this well beloved American has written one of hi latest, "The Summit of the Tears." contains his ripest, mellowest, pleas antest philosophy. In this volume. Mr. Burroughs proves how young an old man can be. The secret, he says. Is to keep grow ing. The growing man has the doors of his mind wide open. His eyes look out on the future. He Is marching forward. Should such a man live to be as old as Methuselah he would still be young.

Little was left to the business but the good name. There were strong stores all around it. The first thing this merchant did was to em phazise in his advertising that he kept well known, popular, advertised articlea-mentioning those advertised in the local newspapers by the manufacturers. Tie did not advertise them al a cut price. He merely let it bo known that he carried them and would pive good service. That was a few months ago. Already the business has started to revive to an extent that competitors are sitting up and taking notice. ' - , This man makes it a rule to mention every dav in his adver tising the name of some well-known, branded article that he carries a name that stands for character in the mind of the public. ii:iiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiitiiiiu7
