ORE.. MAY 30 ......1913 Already the etook market is affected by the importation of beef by San Fraaoisoo interests from Australia. Tbe Portland cattle market baa slumped 75 cent .per hundred pounds and tbe end ia not yet. The consumer may soon be able to oarry borne a air loin or t-tone steak costing something less than 22 to 25 cents ' per ponnd. Wbeu beef can be imported from Aus tralia and sold fot less money in tbe meat markets than Ibe domestio pro dnot, then the consumer is going to buy tbe Australian meat, and be won't give a whoop bow many nnoles aud cousins he bas in the American livestock business. He bas toted tbe heavy end of high living prices to tbe end, and financially, be is almost ready to cave in. Tbe high oost of living has boosted tbe oeoossaries of life Into tbe lap of luxury; and if the piodnots of Australia, Sontb America, Canada, tbe liji islands or Mars can rb converted into a lever to lighten bis bnrden, he's going to tbrnst bis weigbt on this selfsame lever. Min ing day priues and war time inflation for food and clothing In times of peaoa and plenty must end. Tbe ooDsnmeis puree cannot stand tbe drain. Over by far its greater part, South America bas virtually ceased to be tbe laud "of revolutions. It presents itself to ns rather aan oolossal conti nent, mangifloently watered, inhab itable by Caucasians, its soil of inex haustible fertility, its mineral riuhes taroly soratobed, much of it still un explored, all of it almost Indiorously underpopulated. Although the most eedootive field for colonization that exists, there is Lever likely to be the same kind of scramble for it among tbe powers of Enrope that Afrina bas suffered from. Tbe Monroe Doctrine bas rendered this inestimable seiviae to tbe world's puaoe it bas interposed the power of the United States between South Ameiioa and an orgy of spolia tion; it bus permitted each Inepondent Republic to develop along its own lines; it baa opoued Sooth America to European immigration, aud closed it to Enropeau flags. No nation wocld now think It worth while to tight the United States ia order to outaia a foot bold on South American soil. ern planters and $12,000 by tbe state of Maryland were offered for her cap ture in tbe '50s but she was never caught. She served as scoot, nurse and spy in the Union army dnring the civil war. Montana ranges are giving place to the plow, and thousands of homestead shacks dot the plains where formerly oonntless herds grazed. Grain raising is becoming a profitable industry in the Kooky Mountain state. President Wilson's invitation to Senator LaFollette to visit tbe White House, aud Mr. La Toilette's favorable response after years of aloofness from the Exeoutive borne may have uoepeo iul significance; aud yet to all who look forward to party alignmenta by genuluely democratic tests it ia com forting. The Wilsous aud La Follettea and Bryaua belong together In politics, regardless of party organization or name, aa truly us the Tafts and the RooBevelts, the Parkers, tbe Baileys find tbe rest belong elsewhere, Tbe politloal turmoil of our time oqmes irom tho stirring of trie depths by" tho fipirit ot detuooraoy.

Under the laws of Wusbiugton, mun icipalities have tbe right to amend their charter by initiative. Seattle baa done this with reiereuoe to public utility corporations.

Odd Incident That Proved the Popu larity of Dumat. In "My Autobiography" More. Ju dith, tho great French uctress. writes of Alexander Duiiins the elder: "This giant of n mulatto, with his big, blink, mocking eyes, his wide nos trils, thick lips, heavy chin, his crisply curling linlr nnd his forehead with its strange liuinpn, like that of somu'un ruly child who Is nhva.vs fighting with his coinnidi'H, was truly u representa tive personage, n type reflecting all the passion of the romanticists. There would have been something wanting to his time If this grandson of n negress had not been seen striding along the Parisian boulevards, if his laugh had not been heard on the terraces of the cafes or If he had not appeared playing his part with naive self satisfaction in official ceremonies nnd at the Tuileries ball, or walking about behind the scenes at the theater with his arm around the waist of some actress, or eating and drinking enough for four in the merry suppers nt which authors nnd artists used to meet. "Ills popularity was simply unequal ed There was a story current in my time of a singular wager made by Mery of Marseilles. Wulklng ono day In some public garden with u friend, he suddenly said to him: 'Do you seo that big. ridiculous looking fellow? I bet you 100 sous that If I kick htm, no matter where. Instead of flying into a rage he will make me a polite bow. "The bet was taken, and Mery, creep ing stealthily up behind M. Prud hoinme. gave him a tremendous kick In the small of his back The man turned red with Indignation, but Mery cried: 'Oh, I beg your pardon, sir; I took you for Alexander Dumas, with whom I have an account to settle.' "Ills victim, only too proud to be taken for such n great man, nt once re lented and. taking off his hat In the most amiable manner, he said, with a bow, 'There Is no harm done, mon sieur.' The hundred sous were won." ANSON SCORED LAST. The Old Chicago Captain Made Two Plays to Dahlen's One. Tim Hurst, the veteran umpire, told this one on Bill Dahlen when Bill was a youth toiling under Cap Anson In Cblcugo. Suld he: "Anson called Dahlen good and hard In n gamo I was umpiring In Chicago. Dahlen took it without saying n word, but n few minutes Inter Bill remnrked to me, 'Watch me burk that old fel low's shins.' 'Ans wa9 not ns agile then as he was in his younger dnys, and he stooped with much effort.

"However, that was not the end of It A few days later the White Stockings had to make a trip to St Louis, and Anson told Dahlen he would not be taken on the trip. Bill had been told that several times and be thought 'Ans' was fooling. " Tbe train left Chicago ow "Wnisit nnd Dahlen was with the reif of the team. "When tbe train wns about twenty, five miles out of Chicago the conductor told Anson there were sixteen men In the party nnd he had received only fifteen tickets. Anson said there were only fifteen men and named the berths they occupied. " 'The man in berth No. 17 says be is a member of the Chicago team,' said the conductor, who was referring to Dahlen. 'He's stringing you,' replied Anson. Boor Bill wns asked to cough up nnd couldn't. The train was stop ped, and Dahlen was put off the train nbout thirty miles from Chicago. How he got back to Chicago only Bill him self knows, but he would not talk to anybody for a week." Hitting Him With the Truth.
