Recently an Eastern corres pondent propounded this ques tion: "How do you determine what questions and principals shall be advocated by the party, and how formed?' What an age is ours! We are a resourceful people. Our so cieties are eternally unearthing something new by way of enter tainment and it is about an even wager that the latest fad is about as silly as its predecessor, but it serves its purpose and is, therefore, all right. Now and then something worth while comes to light and keeps us from utter darkness. Among the latest things to claim attention is a club started by Portland girls. The organ ization is to be known as the "Anti-Gossip Club." "Deliver us not into temptation poor; girls! The entire world is fatted on i gossip men and women, boys and girls, in a large majority of cases, love to gossip. Nearly all of us are tattlers, but some are worse than others. In spite of the conditions we find these girls organizing an anti-gossip club. Will the organization sur vive, think you? Human nature has first to undergo a radical change. These girls, probably with the best possible intent, are delil . erately placing themselves face to face with the greatest temp- . tation of their lives. Frail, in deed, is human nature and it is fore-ordained that the life of this club is to be of but few days. The sisterhood will find it harder not to gossip than to remember the "Golden Rule." Sisters, we grieve for you, knowing that your "Anti-Gossip Club" was born into an atmosphere too severe for anything of such Heavenly nature. tendency to disorganize the polit ical parties. With reference to the first question, Mr. Dunbar could not give a definite answer, because it is a matter entirely outside of the law, and .neither of the political parties in this state has yet decided how it will formulate a party platform. ably impressed with the sugges tion, and promised to try to have such a law enacted at the com ing session of Congress.

While the indications are that - the matter of revision of tariff schedules as set forth by the Dingley bill will have some sup porters in Congress, it is safe to predict that railway rate regula tion will take up more time than any other item. There are many to be found who for some reason or other cling to the idea of tariff tinkering. It looks like this matter was to be a fight to finish and that the issue was to be worn to a frazzle and carried to a point where its backers would all be "killed off." Let us ask wherein is there the greatest need of revision? Who will undertake . to settle this point, treating these United States as a whole and ignoring the needs of small localities (Jharles A- Moore, in a recen speech at a banquet of the Na tional Machine Tool Builders' Association, issued the following challenge: It the advocates ot laritl revision reciprocity or any other change or form of Tariff law will name twenty articles out of the great schedule of the Dingley Tariff, from a reduction of the dntv wtiii-! ! greater lipiieht. thau liijury wi result to the greatest number of citi- zeitn, I am ready to join theui in advoca ing that change. So far we have heard nothing from anybody who might have the temerity to undertake the nam ing of any twenty articles on which the Tariff could be reduced w.uh resultant benefits to both producer and consumer. No one can name these articles. A Golden Opportunity. Our teachers have it within their reach to perform a great work by seeing the rural schools planted on a better footing.

Propose New Law. Questions. Asked. A few days ago the following dispatch went out from Salem with reference to the .direct primary law in Oregon: Inadditior. to answering num erous inquires from residents of this state in retire! to the tnean ing of some of the provisions of the direct primary law, Secre tary of State Dunbar is frequent ly asked questions by people in The State Liad Board hit up on a plan which may enable it to secure desirable timber land up on which it may file state lieu and land script. Under the present Federal law the state cannot file on unsur veyed land. As fast as the gov ernment completes a survey of public land, and plats are filed in the local land office, all de sirable sections are taken up by settlers who have been located by timber cruisers. The latter make it their duty to watch out for new surveys, and are usual ly waiting for the plats to benled. The plan is to have Congress amend the land law, so that the state can file on the unsuiiveyed land. If this is done, the state land agent can . examine , timber in ' districts that have not ' been surveyed and select - good timber lands in large tracts, upon which lieu land script can be filed. By other states who are anxious to 1 this means the state will have a had its origin only about a foutth of a mile, northeast of me; but this may have been an erroneous impression. Later, I began to notice an oc casional butterfly, of the usual large brown kind, known as the "milk-weed butteifly," sailing rapidly with the current when high up, while later still. I saw many making spiral mountings with not a wing nap, in the well known manner of turkey vul tures, hawks, etc. The number of these rapidly -increased, as did that of the gossamers, as if they had beconie suddenly aware of the uprush of warm air and de termined to take advantage of it. Much later still others of this species ' came past me sailing with the "wind, at a very rapid speed,' equaling that of the usual bird in direct flight. These were all rather low down, soine having to rise to pass the tree tops. I saw no birds taking ad-r-vantage of this peculiar condition except that I noted the chimney swifts hawking at very great heights, where the insects had so evidently gone. Inasmuch as I have al ways ob served vultures, hawks, and other soaring birds engaged in these rising circlings under peculiar atmospheric conditions, usual- No. 4301.
