The Salem Journal discovers the following weakness in its contemporary, the Statesman: The criticisms of the Salem Statesman on the nomination of Governor Cummins for another term are manifestations of a weakness of certain elements of the Republican party. That clement gets cold chills, and is thrown into much fear and trembling when anyone inside the party proposes to do any thing in the direction of reform. That diseased portion of the Republican party which prede cates the party's existence upon graft rather than upon fearless performance of duty, is espec ially sensitive upon tariff revis ion. Governor Cummins of Iowa has been a consistent ad vocate of tariff revision from the agricultural standpoint, and his nomination means that a time shall be set when the present tariff shall bo overhauled. Tar iff revision is always an issue among intelligent Republicans. The only room for difference is when it shall be undertaken. One Republican tariff revision succeeds another, and that is proper. Iowa is a great, pros perous and intensely Republican commonwealth. The voters there had a long time to delib erate whether the time is ripe for tariff revision, and have de cided that it is. Why should a Republican paper in Oregon, -where the party has not been able to elect a Republican gov ernor in two elections, say to the Republican party of Iowa, you have gone wrong?' It is a manifestation of a diseased po litical condition, rather than criticism of Governor Cummins and the Republican platform of Iowa, that calls down the pos sibility of defeat on a party of progress. The time may not have come for tariff revision. In Oregon there is not much demand for revising the tariff. But when it is revised it will be well for the country if the work is done by progressive men. The warfare of President Roose velt and the progressive leaders of the Republican party in curb ing the trusts may not be ap preciated by the people, but there are no signs so far that such is the case. The National Republican party committee pre fers to rest its case on the ag gressive performances of Roose velt end the leaders of the Cum mins type, to parading the Btand-pat theories of Mark Han ria, et al. But the Statesman's attacks on Iowa Republicans are so as before said manifestations rather than earnest and honest efforts at criticism. fratt-ruitv only lost h Nickel.

Th proprietor of a lanyard built a stand" on ono of the main atreeU of a Virginia town for the purpose of selling leather and buying uew hides. When he had completed the building he considered for a long lime what sort of sign to put up to attract attention to the new estab lishment. Finally a happy thought struck him. He bored an auger hole through the doorpost and stuck a calf's tail into it with the tufted end outside. After a while he saw a solemn faced man standing near the door looking at the sign, his eyes in a round, meditative stare behind his spectacles. The tanner watched him a minute, then stepped out and addressed him. Good morning, sir," he said. 'Morning," said the other with out taking his eyes ofl the sigu. 'Want to buy leather?" asked the tanner. No." 'Got any hides to sell?" "No." "Are you a farmer?" "No." "Merchant?" "No." 'Lawyer." "No." "loctor?" "No." 'What are you, then?" "I'm a philosopher.

Oregon Greatest Lumber State The forests of the upper Missis sippi valley, of the Great Lakes region and of the Southern Btates have furmehed lumber for genera tious to the treeless prairies of the West and the denuded lands of the East. But the saw is cutting deep into the last of the tall timber of the North and more and more sun liiftit. it being lot in upon the South land. Prices for northern white pine and southern yellow pint have risen in the last few years by leaps and bounds. The lumber dealer of the East has turned bis eyes to a new source of supply As a result, Portland, Oregon, in the centi-r of the Great American Forest, has become the greatest lumber city in the union, far out stripping Minneapolis and Port land is but at the threshold of its great industry. Oregon is the greatest lumber state in the union. During the next generation, and eo far as one may judge, for all time, Portland is to hold its supremacy as the largest fcawmill city. The national hunger for lumber grows year by year, and Portland com mands the gate to the forest. I . .
