Tun New York World says: "If the
Democrats expect to elect a Preoideut
next fall they most go into the cam
paign with a stronger candidate than
tbe Speaker of the Honee of Repre
sentatives. For Mr. Clark personally
The World has only the friendliest
feelings, but has nomination for Pres
ident would be equivalent to a certifi
cate of eleotion for bis Republican
opponent." Champ Clark's victory
in Illinois ought to rouse every demo
crat who believes in sane and effeot
,lel3er"BhTp7As a presidential can
didate the Speaker would be one of
the most absurd figures ever seon o
the stump. Suooesa would be impos
sible for his party. His backing by
Hearst, whioh he thankf ully acknowl
edges, would alone te sufficient to
ruin his chanoes. Compotent politi-
oians inform us that, in their judg
ment, his oampaign would collapse
in eight weeks after the convention.
It is known, too, that President Taft
believes that Clark would be the easi
est demooratio candidate for him to
defeat. With Clark aa its spokesman,
the democracy would again be the
butt of the country, beoauso of its pro
pensity for inexcusable blundering.
Its exoeptioual chance to win because
of the Rennblioan split would be
thrown awav at tbe start. Most of
tbe independent democratic news
papers would be compelled to support
tbe republican candidate, en obvious
is tbe SDeaker's unfitness for tbe
White House. A Dig barrel, Con
gressional courtesy, wbioh always is
available for a fellow-representative,
and a gross popular misoonoeptiou of
Mr. Clark and bis abilities are respon
sible for the start bis oandiduoy bas
got. The sound soutiment of the pur
ty most now make itself felt to head
off tbe threatened disaster.
tion. Hood River expeots an apple
crop well over 1,000,000 boxes that
will be marketed throughout' the
world wherever prize fiuit is in de
mand. Other districts report equally
tine orop prospects.
When one stands on tbe street cor
ner and proolaims that bis town is
dead, it is in order to ask whether or
not be has done anything to give it
life. Ninety-nine times out of a hun
dred such a question will get an an
swer in the negative. Tbe true local
patriot never attempts to run his town
down cr magnify its shortcomings.
Rather does he seek to bnild it up in
every wise and reasonable way and to
cause shortcomings to disappear by
the adoption of improvements that
remedy the defeots.
The list of "Immortals" that has
teen compiled presents some names
that are a surprise to tbe average
man. Anyway, it is diffioult to plaoe
a man among the immortals while he
is living in this present world. This
usually cannot be done until genera
tions after his death. The world has
to find out if he abides in tbe thoughts
of men, and whether bis acts or pro
ductions have or have not a high
permanent value.
State Treasurer Kay reports that the
state has ou baud $1,000,000, with
not a dollar of outstanding bonds or
interest Leaiiog indebtedness. How
ever, $200,000 will hooo te paid over
to tbe government to apply ou tbe
purobase of tbo Oregon City looks.
That in tno oulv bill outstanding Hflide

TbegrcntiT portion of tbe huiu is de
posited in CO baukB of tbe state draw
ing 8 per cent interest which produces
an income uulfioieut to pay all the cost
attaobed to tbe state treasurer's otliue.
Undui tbo old regime, before the 11 at
salary luw, wbioh wus furthered by
State 'Ireasuror Kay, was passed by
the legislature, this interest went to
fatten tbe purse of the state treasurer.
The amount of ohsU on hand is consid

fcy law, for University of Oregon ap
propriations , whiob are beiug bold

The British government is building
