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

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.

A POLITICAL, CANARD.
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. Kugene Keg

The following article In the Rural
New Yorker of January 8, by H. E.
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

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

fruit it deserves condemnation by all.

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."
