E d ito r Leader: At a regular meeting of the Cen tral Labor-Council of Portlaud and vicinity, held on November 5, 1909, th e following pream ble and resolu tio n s were unanim ously adopted: ‘‘W h k r r a s , It is provided by Sectiou 11 of the People’s Direct P rim ary Law of Oregon, that 'every such political party (referr in g to parties th a t cast 25 per cent o r more of the whole num ber of votes given for Represenative in C o n g ress)-sh all nom inate all its candidates for public office under Ihe provisions of this law and not in other m anner, and it is further declared in the pream ble of said law th a t 'all qualified electors who w ish to serve the people in an elec tive public office are rightfully en titled to equal opportunities under the la w .’ and W hereas, Certain former politi cal liosses and m achine politicians seek to nullify the above vital pro visions of the law by the following m ethods: They propose to call assem bly conventions of alleged delegates to usurp the nam e and authority of their political parties; these assembly conventions are to recom m end a slate of candidates dictated by the bosses, who intend also th a t there shall be only one of their m achine candidates for each nom ination against two or more candidates for the same nom ina tion who-are opposed to m achine rule, and these former bosses boast of their success with this plan in Portlaud last spriug, and privately declare that they will by this m eth od restore governm ent in Oregon by the machine, and repeal the Initiative and Referendum, and all other laws through w hich the people have gained power in Ore- gou during the past teu years, and Whereas, T he purpose and in tent of said assembly is not to come together as citizens to advise and agree together, and to m ake such recommendations in their own nam es and by their own authority to their fellow citizens as they may deem wise, but is intended to be and is a convention of delegates asserting the power and right to act with authority for others, and to bind them to a course of politi cal conduct, thus usurping the nam e and authority of their polit ical parties, therefore, be it Resolved, T h a t we hereby ask all law -abidiug citizens to pledge with us their earnest endeavor, by all honorable means, to defeat j every candidate for nom ination < and election who seeks or accepts, w ithout publicly protesting, any recommendation or endorsement by any so-called assembly or con vention of delegates of any politi cal party, which is subject to the Direct Primary I.aw, and be it further Resolved, T h at in m aking the above declaration, we do hereby reaffirm and em phasize our adher ence to, and our faith in, those provisions of the M agna C harta and of the Constitution of the United States, sealed with the blood of our forefathers, which guarantee to all citizens the right to peaceably assemble as citizens, and to advise and agree together, and m ake any recommendations in their own nam e and by their own authority to their fellow citi zens which they deem wise and patriotic, without any attem pt to usurp the political rights of the people.” T . j N v g k n t , Recording Secretary. 25 % Discount T o M ail Order Buyers for all cash-with-order business. In addition to giving this liberal discount, we also prepay freight to any point in the United States, on orders amounting to $10 or more, box and pack shipments without extra charge, most nurserymen make extra charges for boxing and packing, guarantee safe arrival, give generous premiums and assure every customer complete satisfaction.

H ave You Planted Stark D elicious? for “ The Apple Stark D elicious” a booklet giving its full history and the opinions of the world's greatest horticulturists and successful orchardists. It will convince you. Last year we sold 1,250,000 trees of Delicious alone and could have sold another J million had we had them. Planters now-a-days do not buy a variety at that rate unless there’s a rea son. And there is one— send for the booklet. Stark King D avid A pple You should plant it along with Delicious—plant it largely—you ’ll never regret it. It’s a money mak er, and a big one. It has highest quality, is a long keeper, very hurdy, and has beautifii! color. Sells at highest prices. Many planters think it better than Delicious. “ In m y o p in io n King D avid w ill surpass D elicious as It is fine as silk.*’—R ev. T . H . A tk in so n , E n tia t, W ashington. W a s in M r.

Delicious is the most wonderful apple known to horticulture for quality, keeping qualities and selling value. This year at the sale of the W enatchee V alley Fruit Growers’ Ass’n (Washington) Delicious brought $3.00 per box f. o . b. there (the present murket value is $ 4.00), while Spitzenburg brought only $2.50, Winesap $2.25, Jonathan $1.90, Black Ben $1.75, (now $2.00 —selling with Jonathan), Baldwin $1.15, Ben Davis $1.40, G ano$1.50, etc. O ne of the good things you car* not afford to overlook. It is winning golden opinions from experienced fruit men the country over.

A m other pigeon had been th e target of the small boy with a 22 rifle. T h e bullet had passed through her breast, leaving her only strength enough to flutter hom ew ard and reach the nest where a h alf grown fledgliug aw aited her com ing. D ying she snuggled up agains her little one, her life blood pulsing out over her own w hite breast an d ag ain st her babe. A nd there with eyes starin g wide, she breathed her last an d th e fledgling starved, then froze, and they were found with their heads pressed to getlier as in a last, loving em brace. Mr. Clay brought them down just as they rested iu the nest an d the sight and suffering it spoke were enough to melt the hardest heart. And the boy with the 22 rifle may cause a like tragedy ag ain au d m any times. — F airm ont. (M in n .) Daily Sentinel.
