(hat may not have boon d.uie with tl ue deliberation If no better lutihims raks vre pro vided t.mn are now in evidence ihr certainly U grounds for complaint by the farmer who writrs for thla paper Location of the "excuse for racks' Is not so baa. In our Judgement, but there Is only one panel installed that we can f.nd and that one Is ready to fall dowu from rottenness. It would be a mighty nice ihinK for the farmer If the city would pro vide a comfortable shed for his af oomuiodatlon so that lie would not be compelled to patronize the liv ery stables every time he conns to town, especially, as the farm' r says. when his stay Is only for a few min utes or an hour. There are f w of the towns of the valley which have ovrelooked the provision of such accommodations. There is more call for the provision of such accommoda tion for farmers In the Willamette valley than in any other section of the state and perhaps in any other state in the union, for the rains are more incessant during the fall and w. nter months. Given a city of the population of Salem 05 Fori land the provision is not so much called for as in Independence, but there is no doubt that much trade would be di verted to this city from Salem if cemmodious and comfortable shedf were provided here for the care of the farmers' horses; With the provisions made in other near-by towns, stated by -Mr. Farm er, in his story in this paper, there is all the more reason why this mat ter should receive serious considera tion by the ordinance committee be fore any ac ion U taken regarding a new ordinance providing against hltct ins to telephone poles in the city. It may be true that the cost of stand ing a horse in a livery stable is only ten or fifteen cents but whether or not through so trifling an investment the city will lose the trade of some of the farmers, is the question. If the ordinance committtee considers that the price of standing room in barns is so insignificant perhaps they -will set aside a monthly sum to be paid to a stable of the city which will give standing room to teams of farmers who apply. The main objection to hitching rarks in the streets of the city is thai such a condition does not serve to the end of beau'ifying the city. Then such a provision as above stat ed may not be so unwise a sugges tion as would appear at first thought and the amount required from a local stable as large as one might be led to imagine. The course of the city, in all of its transactions, as stated in the beginning, should be to conserve the interests of all members con cerned and it may be taken as an infringement on private rights to es tablish a free barn for the farmers when individuals have built the same class of institution with the hope of securing patronage. Let the council be careful to supply to the farmers such accommodations as are called for before cutting loose entirely from the hitching post. cot.f tud almost entirely lo tho I nil J 81 a ten.

OroKon Is in crying need of laborers now and anyone who Is will ing to wield the pick and shovel Is welcomed. The seriousness of the sli nation conies with the completion of his lubors, when he lujs down the Implements of toll to tninnle with our masses, seeking employment In the more refined avenues of out country. The solution finally resolves down to the need e( plans for the certain and final expulsion of the objection able foreigner after his labors here are finished. A limited passport may be the solution.

SURVIVAL OF HIGH PRICES If there was ever occasion for re joicing among hop growers of Inde pendence that time is surely close at hand. Hops will certainly make a noise like a four-bit piece hereafter. With local option at the crest of its popularity it Is generally believed that the great tidal wave will soon begin to recede. Combine with this eiuouragement to the hop growers the fact of reduced acreage and an increasing demand for that product high prices may be expected to ob tain for several years to come. If these conditions prevail we may ex pect to witness the highest prices that commodity of agriculture has ever commanded in the history of its culture. The process of evolution, which op- era:es in all tue aitairs ol aauur, may be expected to exert Its influ ence on the local option craze. It is fair to presume that we will drift back to normal conditions and it is possible that the receding wave may rarrv the country to an excess.

It would appear to be a waste of space for a country paper to dwelt nt anv length on a discussion or ex elusion of the objectionable races of the far east but since it is trom t-leas and suggestions from the mass es that events of great importance often shape themselves, it is possible that nothing will be thrown away in fhpse sueeetsions. The Benton County Republican makes the assertion that "It will not be many years bofore the Mongolians will be excluded from every country in the whole new world, as well a from Australia and Southern Africa. Remedies for the evils of race con- fiicts are serious problems and their i..t; mav neennv many years.

It is becoming alarmingly evident that through the ardor of local option enthusiasts a great industry of not only Oregon's but of the worm s nus- bandry is being undermined, in tnis industry tillers of the soil are affect ed in amounts ruuning into millions of dollars. The ethics in the remote circum stances of this case are not here con sidered and the accomplishments 01 reformers are given due credit, but history provides record that the re former is not of the multitude. In the mad inarch of commercialism he com mands but scarce a tention, much to the regret of idealism. LAUNCH INDEPENDENCE Plys between Independence and Sa lem daily except Sunday.

With the present Doasi- ed intelligence of the world the enor mity of the offense looms up in pro portion to the spirit of mob violence, j Arid to it but mad clamor for blood and the ravings of men and women for revenge at the scaffold and we have a companion picture for the Cai ro outrage of a fortnight ago. As if to add insult to injury the state would hang a "skeleton in the closet" of a peace-abiding family to forever humiliate it. True, a life of impris onment is little more to be sought on ly for the hope it holds out that tnrough extenuating circumstances or complete vindication freedom from prison as well as from guilt may be secured.
