President Taft lias decided that his active campaign shall commence October 1, and one of our able exchanges remark that such decision will give the country a respite. However, Mr. Taft may have to change his tactics; he does not yet know the course which the opposi tion may pursue and he may be forced to move earlier in de fense of his prospects to succeed himself as president. Ye editor made & trip to Port land Saturday, extending it to Vancouver, Washington. All along the way were signs of active life. Farmers were busy in their grain fields, some cutting grain, others shocking, some hauling and stacking, while at other places hay-bailing was, in operation. In the city activity presented itself on every hand. Merchants and clerks were busy and stores and places of trade were crowded with the throng to a greater extent than we have ever witnessed before. Over the whole scene was the shading of prosperity, written in burnished gold by the generous hand that has poured out the bounties of nature's storehouse, to the deni zens of Oregon. One of our large daily papers headed its Chicago news, Mon day, thus: ' Beveridge Raps Bosses at Bull Moose Conven tion," but, strange as it may ap pear, he surely missed one, as the committee on platform was waiting for the chief to make his speech before attempting to draw up that document, while the latter declares that the plat form must be according to bis wishes or else he will not accept the nomination. , Before the Republican convention the dec laration was to the effect, in case of a dark horse, "The dark horse will be me." Now the platform must suit T. R., and the delegates hold themselves in abeyance awaiting suggestion; if that condition does not smat ter of "bossism" what does it take to constitute it. So far as we can judge Mr. Roosevelt might just as well have written the progressive platform in ad vance and saved time. His Southern Vote WiU be Easy to Count. The selection by Roosevelt of a New Orleans democrat to be permanent chairman of the bull moose convention indicates the colonel feels the need of southern support and is willing' to bid rather strong for the same. To a man up a tree however, it looks like the gentleman is sowing seed upon stony ground. The south has a great habit of going democratic. It does that no matter who runs as the demo cratic standard bearer and re gardless of what the rest of the country may do. Such being the case it is not at all likely the south will ilo differently this year when prospects are so bright for democratic success and the foe is hopelessly divided. If any further reason is needed the south can easily find it in Roosevelt's attitude toward the race problem while he was president. Kast Orcgoniun. A Central Cash Reservoir. Charles M. Harger, of Kansas, in an article in the Country Gentleman on "The Monev That Moves the Harvest," says: "It is not creditable to our present cm rency system that in a growing nation there should be a perpetual struggle between the money-handling institutions and the money-users. There ought to be some method by which the farmer, merchant, grain-dealeror stock-dealer when he needs credit or currency may obtain it "Financial students who have made a careful studv of the country's business needs have come to certain conclusions re garding a remedy for this situa tion. Congress appointed four years ago a non-partisan com mission especially to form a plan that would better monetary con ditions. The commission, after four years' work, has made its report, and its plan will doubt less form the basis of a bill for a rearrangement of our c.urrency system. "Instead of each bank work ing out its needs alone, it is pro posed that all the banks of the country shall work together in au association at Washington. The association is authorized to hold the reserves of the banks. This central reserve fund will form a supply sufficient to give relief to the demands of any section and should go far as a balance wheel in the tinanciul machinerv of the nation." Teddy's Old Hat. One more unfortunate Down in the ring, Rashly importunate, Pitiful thing! Pick it up easily Now at the last, Entered so breezily When it was cast Lo! for the shape of it, And for the gaze of it, Think of the rape of it, Battered and bent. Think what he paid for it, How many prayed for it, How they all laid for it, Dire of intent! Look at the brim of it, Hanging forlorn, Mark ye the rim of it, Tattered and torn. Some one has stamped on it, Crushing the crown. Many have tramped on it, Pinning it down. What a great principle Went with the hove of it, Reckoned invincible Look at the stove in it! Mark ye the tear in it, Big as the sea. Had there been hair in it, Where would he be? St. Louis Post-Dispatch. THE SOILS Of OREGON Prof. C. E. Bradley, of O. A. C. Chemistry Department, Pub lishes Book. 0. A. C, Corvallis, Ore., Aug. 3. -"The Soils of Oregon" is the title of a new bulletin, No. 112, by Prof. C. E. Bradley, of the department of chemistry of the Oregon Agricultural College, which has just appeared from the college preBS, for free dis tribution throughout the state. It contains the results of some i years of work by the college chemists on Oregon soils, includ ing analysis of representative soils in different parts of the state. "Owing to the fact that our agricultural lands are settling up rapidly with people from other parts of the country who are naturally unfamiliar with condi tions and desire assistance in the selection of farms." says Prof. Bradley, "a great demand is coming to the experiment sta tion for information as to the adaptability and comparative value of our soils. It is hoped that the present bulletin will serve, in a measure, to give in formation meeting these de mands. "It is planned to present the chemical work of this bulletin under two heads, Part I dealing with the more practical side of the question and containing the results of analysis of various types, arranged according to counties, and Part II embodying the results of the more technical investigations on this subject." Exposition of Eugenics. The State Fair Board has ap propriated $500.00 this year to cover premiums and expenses of a department to be called the "Exposition of Eugenics," to be held at the State Fair, Salem, week of Sept. 2nd-7th. This will be a showing of children under four years of age, at which physical perfection rather than doll-like beauty will be the standard. Certain medi cal standards of weights and measurements will be used, and every child compared with these standards and approach to per fection will be figured on a per centage basis. A corps of well known women physicians wili make the test, at the same time pointing out to the mother tin strong and weak points in tlu child's makeup. A "Child's Welfare Exhibit" under the auspices of the Oregon Mothers' Congress and the Ore gon State Grange will be made a part of the Exposition of Eu genics, at which all the approved methods of handling babies, their food, clothing, and other features will be demonstrated daily by trained nurses.
