Tom Kay, of Marion, opposes the assembly. The news will cause no surprise. Tom Kay, of Marion, will be found opposing any movement hot having for Its object the advance ment of the political fortunes of his dear friend, Qeorge Chamberlain. Dallas Observer. , . That Is tho same old, now worn out idea that only a selected few have a right to think. "The public be damned" said old Vanderbllt J. Pier pont Morgan has said about the same. Other moguls have thought If not ex pressed it. Here in Oregon a few do not believe In others having opinions. Editor Hayter, of the Observer, who apparently Is crazy for a certain office and cannot get It through an appeal to the people, is mad all over because Tom Kay conducts himself as an American citizen. Senator Kay always could be found on the side of the peo pie, who always know where to find him. His critic, Hayter, is against the people and In plain view sucking a Portland teat In the hope of a pat on the back and political aggrandizement, Poor Hayter! What must his country readers, from whom he Is endeavoring to wrest cherished prerogatives, think of such a tall to the Portland kite? He Is letting pass by the opportunity of being honest with Ihlmself and the people of Polk county, merely for the sake of gaining office and the pat on the back. Woodburn Independent Like all "Chamberlain" Republi cans, the Woodburn editor is extreme ly sensitive. flo knows he Is a poor excuse for a , Republican, and this knowledge worries him and makes him thin-skinned. He cannot consist ently argue for Chamherluln and the Republican party at the same time, and this Inability to defend himself and his friend Kay In their fulse and awkward position causes him to re sort to personalities. Like Frank Davey, the editor of another Chamberlain-Bourne organ, ha needs must serve his masters by abusing any and nil men who are not willing to see the Republican party fall Into the hands of a Utile band of visionary cranks and professional pie-hunters. He even goes so far as to steal Davey'i lan guage when he accuses the Observer of taking Its stand on existing political Issues merely to get Its editorials copied In the more Important news papers of the state. He doubtless does not know that the Observer Is one of two or three Oregon newspapers that have been fighting U'ltenism from the beginning, and that, stand ing toduy where 1t has always stood, neither the approbation nor the dis approval of other newspspers Influ ences Its editorial opinions in the least. However, persons of the Oill sort are not supposed to know this, nor would they understand It If they did. Their whole Interest In politics being cen tered In accomplishing their own per sonal ends, they cannot conceive any but selfish motives In others. An un selfish motive Is beyond their compre hension.. The Independent professes to won der what the Observer's "country readers" will think of Its course? The Observer owes Its circulation and the measure of success It hss achieved to the fact that It has never endeavored to draw class distinctions where none exist. This paper Is published for American citizens. In the belief that what Is good for one Is good for all. '"Country" readers and "city" read-1 ers' Rush and nonsense! The msn who will endeavor to prejudice the farmer against his town brother, or vice versa. Is a demagogue of the rank est sort, deserving of no ronsideration from either. Oregon is getting entire ly toe much of this sort of thing just now. If the farmer and the town dweller wish to be of real service to the country, they will take turns in kicking eery cheap John politician who attempts to stir up prejudice be tween them In the hope of furthering his own elfish schemes. For unintentionally touching the In-, d( pendent man on the Yaw." the Ob- seductive pamphlets; . with hungry newspapers here and there needing financial help, and with Senator Chamberlain and a united Democratic party to stir up Republican discord we have the best organized and most powerful political machine the State of Oregon ever saw, as any Republican Senatorial candidate will soon dlscov er if he marches out singlehanded against It. The old-time manipulators are sim ply sailing under a new flag, adapt ing themselves to new conditions, and adopting more devious and seductive methods. Palaver and caramels and soft soap were never more in evidence and the air is resonant with the rau cous yawp of the demagogue about 'the majesty of the people's will,' our imperilled liberties," and the dan gerous schemes of the politicians who would "insult the Intelligence of the people." Against these methods we interpose the advice of tried and trusted leaders like Hughes and Roosevelt and George II. Williams. Almost the last public utterance of George H. Williams was a protest against the present method which "reduces our politics from an orderly Bystem to a mere scramble be tween Individuals for office in which the most blatant demagogue or the man with the most money would be the most likely to succeed." Governor Hughes tersely says: "I believe In party organization, and I de sire to see it strong, efficient and rep resentative. We shall still require po litloai leaders, those who by sagacity and knowledge of men command and deserve a following and blaze the trail of political action." Then, urging nominations by party committees, he declares that if such nominations are corrupt or obtuse they "would be read lly marked and easily opposed." Nom inations by this method, he says, would tend largely to reduce the number of candidates, as the presence of an unworthy candidate would unite opposition on the most worthy oppo sition candidates." - ' This week, In a signed article, Theo ore Roosevelt declares the Cobb bill well nigh free from all objections," and says that "here' and there direct nomination has been applied In too crude a shape" so that" while abolish ing certain evils, it has produced or accentuated others," and he strikes a blow at Statement No. 1 by declaring that "voters should be guaranteed the right to determine wllliln the ranks of their respective organizations who the candiates of the parties will be." If the abusive and hysterical disciple of Mr. Brownell, who threw a fit a few days ago in Clackamas County and sent the Senator's speech out broadcast, will wrap a cold towel about his head, and ask the Bourne literary bureau to send him a full synopsis of the arguments of Governor Hughes and Roosevelt, he will, after reading them, feel better and know a good deal more. And 1f he will come down to Portland and attend the state assembly he will find there over 1000 men who are Just as respectable, just as patriotic, Just as free from machine domination, and just as clean and in telligent politically as he Is. After that he will be perfectly free to go upon his own way and, If he prefers the leadership of Bourne to Taft, of U'Ren to Roosevelt, of Hofer to Hughes, or of George C. Brownell to George H Williams, there will be no one to mo lest or muke him afraid. and sane Fourth. We are Just as much In need of safe and sane politics in this state. The political pendulum Is swinging to the extreme, but It will finally strike the happy medium of common sense in politics, a consum mation devoutly to be wished by the thinking men of Oregon, who would see the commonwealth governed wisely and well. Eugene Register. THE KOOSEVKIT IDEA. The Cobb direct primary bill, de feated In the New York legislature by a majority of republicans assisted by a strong democratic vote, was favored by Roosevelt and It is the kind of a prlmury law that Oregon Bhould have. The Cobb bill lays stress upon the nec essity of maintaining party organiza tion, while here in Oregon the law Is Interrupted to mean destruction of party organization and it is because of this construction placed upon the law that republicans, who have the real Interests of the parly at heart, are seeking to Bave the party In this state by calling a state assembly. In speak ing of the New York law, Roosevelt says: "There Is no desire to break down the responsibility of party organiza tion under duly constituted party lead ership, but there Is a desire to make this responsibility real and to give the members of the party the right to say whom they desire to execute this lead ership." What we want In Oregon Is not to tear down party organization and par ty leadership, but to build It up on the broad plane of genuine party leader ship that leads and does not drive. There are plenty of broadmlmled, cleanhanded republicans In Oregon, who are ready to stand spoiisers for the direction of the party and It is needful to Oregon republicanism that the future welfare of the party be un der their guidance with a free rein to the masses In selection of the right men to serve them In places of public trust There Is no desire on the part ot genuine republicans In Oregon to In augurate ring rule in this state. The direct primary with proper modifica tions will stand, continuously, as the people's weapon with which to ward or? the attacks of scheming politicians w ho place personal ambition and self aggrandizement above public need and clean polities. There hns never been, and Is not now, any occasion for alarm over county and stale assemblies by repub llcans unless It be among democrats. who have noted the tendency of repub lican dlBtntegratlon, because republi cans heretofore have been led to be lieve that they have no rights, under the prn.iary law. to get together, de clare their belief in republican pri nciples and to even express. In dele gated bodies, some sort of choice for various county and state offices to be filled. There is certainly as much reason and common sense In a few hundred GLOOMY FOR POSTAL BANKS. , (Springfield, Mass., Republican.) The postal savings bank bill as pass ed by the House is not liked by the insurgent senators for the reason par ticularly that It gives to the govern ment board of savings trustees power to designate the post-offices to' receive deposits. Speaking of this feature Sen ator Cummins of Iowa says: "I be- lieve it to be true that the House pass ed the bill 1n the confident assurance that the board would not establish any postal savings depositories In New England. I cannot conceive of a more mischievous and more disturbing or less satisfactory proposition." Mr. Cummins adds that terrific pressure will be brought by the banks In the eastern cities and other communities to Induce the government trustees to keep the post-offices there closed to deposits. He is probably very much mistaken In all this. What the action of the trustees would be under their discre tionary power to designate the post offices to receive deposits we cannot guess; but it can be said that It Is a matter of Indifference with eastern savings banks whether postal savings are inaugurated in their communities or not And It may further be affirmed with confidence that the trustees would never keep a post-office closed to deposits where any demand at all should be made to the contrary. As for the commercial banks, they are not likely to fight very hard against a bill which would permit them to re ceive postal savings deposits st 214 or 2 Mi per cent and Invest the same In state, municipal or other public bonds which can be bought to yield 8H to 4 ' or more per cent, netting the commercial bank a clear profit of 1 to 2 or 3 per cent. The reason why the New England or other mutual savings banks have no fear of competition from a postal system Is that they can pay 3 to 4 per cent on deposits, while depositors In the postal banks will get but 2 per cent. It Is a mistake to suppose that even the more Ignorant of savings bank depositors are Indifferent to the earning power of their deposits. They are in fact very much alive to this factor in saving, as Is shown by the great reluctance of one savings bank in a community to reduce Its Interest or dividend rate below what another savings bank In the same place Is pay ing. Some of the New York savings banks which ought to pay no more than 3 hi per cent have lately been urging that all the other banks which can pay 4 per cent with sarety should go to 3 per cent also lest deposits flow away from the 3 i per cent banks. How rapidly, then, will these deposits flow Into post-offices paying only 2 per cent? How greatly weighs considera tion of safety of the principal under a Bystem of state supervision presum ed to make all banks safe, when some savings banks feel obliged to pay more than they ought to In order to hold their deposits as against the 4 per cent banks? Senntor Cummins apparently might profitably give further study to thiB matter. Tho chances are that the pos till Bavlngs Bystem will run Into a huge dearth of business so far as this sec tion of the land Is concerned. Its pat ronage in all probability will be con fined almost entirely to hoarders who distrust all existing banks and have confidence only In the government If these hoarders are many the postal savings system will have some patron age; If they are few, as there Is every reason to believe they are where sav- Ings banks exist, and confined almost altogether to recent immigrants, pos tal savings depositors will be few. The establishment of the syBtem will be chiefly of interest hereabouts In help ing to settle the question whether or not there ts much hoarding of money.

The Portland Journal has developed the yellowest streak or Its lurid ca reer in its discovery of a mare's neBt in connection with the republican as sembly to be held In Portland. It an nounces that the Southern Pacific is to support the assembly in return for a railroad commission to be named that Is to the company's liking. It shows the extreme length to which a wildcat sheet will go, when it Is driv en to extremity in a political tight. And its fragrant little echoes, all up and down the state repeat the dope, roll it under their tongues and call It "Just the stuff" with which to attempt gulling a sensible and thinking public. The railroad can come nearer get ting what It wants. If It wants a rail road commission, without an assem bly, than It can with It. It can get he hind the petitions of the men It wants for that office, pay to have them cir culated, and apend thousands of dol lars to see that they get there. A bigger fake story was never sprung than the Ill-smelling Southern Pacific canard, an off -spring of Jour nalistic illegitimacy, born In the pollt leal scum-seeking precincts of the: Portland Journal office.

Van Deman, Judge of the recent Na tional. Apple show at Spokane and at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacllic exposition, will be highly interesting to horticult urists and to all others interested In the apple Industry throughout the northwest: "As there was a space of over four weeks between the closing of the Alas-ka-Yukon-Paeillc exposition and the opening of the apple show at Spokane, which I had agreed to take the lead ing part in Judging, there was time to look over some of the Tamous orchard sections of the far northwest and like wise some other regions that may be come famous for the production of fine fruit in the future. This I did to some extent, but was interrupted by urgent invitations to judge the exhibits at the Hood River (Ore.) apple show and another at Missoula, Mont. Greatest Ever Held. "But the great apple show at Spo kane, which was held from the 15th to the 20th of November, was the most extensive thing of the kind that has ever yet been held. That of last year was great, but this second effort was fur greater. There were 14 exhibits In the carload entries, und several more carloads in the minor exhibits, had they been shown in the same way. Had the apples been spread out one deep they would have covered over five acres. To assist in the judging I chose George J. Kellogg, of Wisconsin, H. M. Dunlap, of Illinois, Professor W. J. Green, of Ohio, and A. P. Batehnm. of Oregon. As all of these gentlemen are experienced in this work and peculiar ly adapted to the several branches or peculiar phases of the subject, we di vided the work to suit, sometimes act ing singly and sometimes jointly, as the various exhibits required. "A score card had been adopted, which was based on commercial val uation of the exhibits, mostly. The rat ings for quality as given by the Amer ican Pomologlcnl society were used to determine the values of the several varieties In this particular, although. In our judgment, some of them were not quite according to our opinions, and need slight modification. Quality, color, condition and pack are the lead ing characteristics, and age given 20 points each, while size and uniformity only have 10 points each. The quality Is surely a matter of first considera tion, for the eating of an apple is the final and crucial test. Any variety that is not really good does not deserve a high rating, even on a commercial ba sis, for If the consumer condemns the fruit it deserves condemnation by all. from the planter down. And we so considered It In the scoring. 'Xolor, which enters very larcelv , Into the attractiveness of apples w hen i exposed for sale, had. its proper rat j ing In the score. Condition Included i ( blemishes of all kinds, such as Insect ' and fungus marks, bruises and loss ot j stems. Mage of maturity not being so essential as that the fruit be perfect. one-quarter inch thick, which admits of abundant spring to meet this re quirement. The sides are of three eights stuff, and do not spring out ward, nor do the ends, which are three-uuarters of an inch thick. The nmenf of the rows and tiers should be perfect, which depends largely upon the careful grading as to size of the specimens and the evenness of packing, and so does the compact ness. The 'attractiveness and style of pack' also have much to do with the market value of the fruit, for a neat looking package and a style or manner of packing the apples in the box, so as to be full and look full is what Is needed, . Western Pucking Good. "All the far western apples ere packed in regular tiers, and the exact number of specimens in each box is definitely known and Is usually mark ed, ns should be done. The square pack was at first used, but experience has proved the diagonal or alternate style with its variations to be far bet tor. Instead of the apples lying one on top of another, as In ther square style of packing, so that they are bruised from top to bottom by the pressure In fastening down the lid, one apple fits in between three others, and very lit tle damage is done by the pressure. In our judging we scored down one point on every square-packed box, because of the inferior style. The 'jumble' pack which is in use in Colorado, is not even thought of by the more progress ive growers of the northwest, and any style of packing by which the apples are poured Into the box is bad very bad. It does not look neat nor bring the price that good apples deserve. "As to size, we decided that all ap ples packing over three and a half tiers to the box should be severely scored for being too large, and those! smaller than four and a half tiers fori being too small. The best sizes for market range between these two, and count from 88 to 128 to the box. All above or below sell at inferior prices, and are to be avoided by the grower and dealer as far as possible."
