POTATO CHARACTER.
Cigna of Good Kping and Good Cook-
Ing Quality.
Tbe characteristics of potatoes as to
keeping quality and general excellence
become very apparent about thU time
of year and should be borne In mind
when the question of seed for another
crop cornea up.
Potatoes of a corky appearance or
touch are usually preferred to tie
aruooth and clear skinned tubers. TbU
appearance or touch Is In some In
stances a variety characteristic, but to
ruBKB b no vis a 8Kis Bumm
a"neral It Indicates a degree of matu
rity or development which promises
good cooking qualify. ' On the other
hand, the potatoes of smooth and clear
si In are Oftentimes excessively wa
tery or Immature.
The presence of lentlcels that Is,
bodies of cclla which during growth
enlarge and rupture the skin la not ob
jectionable, for they usually Indicate
normal growth and development In a
healthy environment
In an Investigation of the quality of
potatoes carried on by J. W. Gllmore
at the New York Cornell experiment
stntlon parts considered in the physical
examination were the surface or skin,
the cortical layer or portion, linmedl
atcly under the skin and varying from
.1 to .3 Inch In thickness, the external
medullary area that is, the main
stnrchy part of the tuber and the In
ternal medullary area or central por
tion of the potato, which often branches
Into the external medullary area and is
more or less translucent on account of
Its high moisture content'
As regard the skin, It was noted that
uneven tubers with deep eyes were un
desirable for market while a netted
skin Indicated maturity and, as a gen
eral rule, good qualify. A smooth tkln
indicated Immaturity, and hence poor
keeping quality and a tendency toward
undesirable flavor. Scabby potatoes
were often mealy and of good color,
but undesirable from the market stand
point Tubers which bad grown In
part exposed tdthd air wero heavy and
sopgy when corked and of poor color
and undesirable flavor.
In ureneral It was found that when
tho cortical l.iyer U thick and dense
the tvbers are of poor quality, and thU
condition Is an Indication that 'they
grew near tho surface, where the tem
perature and inoleture conditions were
more variable tUJin deeper la tho poll.
A uniform external medullary area liv
dleites an even distribution of 6tnrch
cells and of starch grams within the
cell. - When this layer is not uniform
It Is an Indication that the starch cells
are unevenly distributed and lnter
apersed with watery areas. A large
TiuravEssa aacTioic or potato,
A. skin; B. cortical layr; C. outer ma
dullary loyar; D, Inner medullary layer.
and branching Internal medullary area
Indicates that there la a large propor
tion of the potato substance which does
cot contain enough starch grains to
rupture the cell walls when the tuber
Is bolted, and hence a soggy rather
than a fttarohy cooked product results.
When the Internal medullary area Is
6mall It is an indication of uniformity
In the starch area and a small propor
tion of watery substance.

AUKUKA,
Stand by the University.
We believe jt is the duty of
every voter in the state who be
lieves in giving the young men
rind women a chance to secure a
higher educution, to vote for the
University appropriation. To
turn down the state university
would give Oregon a black eye in
the estimrtion of eastern states,
whose people are looking this way
with a view of ' coming hero to
spend their money for homes. ;
Oregon has been under -the ban J
of grafters and political trick-j
sters for many years. The ref-1
erendum was invoked on the uni- J
versity appropriation out of a'
feeling of petty jealousy on the
part of certain people living at j
Albany, a neighboring city to
Eugene. A campaign of misrep
resentation was then started for
the purpose of misleading the
people and appealing to their
prejudice. All kind3 of false
statements have been made re
garding the management of the
university. One of these is that
the University is paying a foot
ball coach a large sum of money.
This is not true. The football
boys hire their own coach and pay
out of the proceeds of their games
and not a cent is taken from the
taxpayers for this purpose. The
teachers of the university are
greatly discouraged and many of
thcnipractically all of them
will quit if the state votes down
tho appropriation. For three
months they have served with
out pay, because there is no mon
ey in the uury. 'jhe gills'
dormitory and tho new library
building are not being used be
cause there is no money to main
tain them. Tills niggardly pol
icy toward the, , college that af
fords young men end women a
chance to get an education is go
ing to react with disasterous re
sults, if it is carried out. Nearly
on 3 half of the students are now
paying their own way through
school and fitting themselves for
positions of trust and influence in
after life. Tnis is, their only op
portunity. In God's name let us
wake up and give the rising gen
eration a chance! Vote yes on the
appropriation bill and do a service
to yo lrsolf and the state in which
yoj live.
INHUMAN TORTURES.
The 01 English Custom of Burning
' Women Alive.
The horrible punishment of burning
women, alive seems to have existed In
Baxon England, but ierh:i8 only In
the case of slaves. Under the Norman
rulers any womaq, bond or free, wh
killed Ler husband was burned alive,
and the same punishment for this
crime and also for high treason and
even for coining and other iiiinor of
fences continued or aroso from time to
tlmo through the second and third
lortods until it was abolished by act
of parliament In 17'JO, the last actual
execution of this kind haTinjr. how
ever, taken pluce six years earlier. Tl.e
wh!r:'lnz of women for , various of
fen.s conUnued even later. Public
whlpiinj was not abandoned until
1S17, and cases of private whipping oc
curred us lute as 13130.
TL'.to can to no doubt, we think,
that the savnijo human Instinct of
cruelty had something to do with the
barbarous punishments above ruen
tl n'l As rhe old Itoruin pjbllc
lc?ed for the carnage f. the clrcns.

H. M.'Cake For Senator.
Si
H. M. Cake is the man for sen
ator. The fight being made on
Mr. Cake on the ground thet he
is not supporting Statement No. 1,
is for the purpose of befogging
voterr. The Journal and other
supporters of Mr. Chamberlain
contend that Mr: Cake should op
pose all republican nominees who
did not sign Statement No. 1, and
advocate those who did. It is
entirely out of Mr.' Cake's prov
ince to presume" auy thing on this
ground. These men are the
choice of the republicans of their
respective districts, and we base
our ideas of . government pn the
principle that we are to be gov
erned by the decision of the ma
jority. For instance, In Marion
county part of tho ticket is
pledged to Statement No. 1 and
part is not. Would it be fair for
Mr. Cake, himself a candidate to
''butt in" and advocate the elec
tion of part of the 'renublican
candidates and the defeat of
Others? The pcoplohave spoken
and Mr. Cake should keep silent.
No man should presume on the
right of the whole people, and
those whe contend that he should.
are playiny a political gamo that
We are in fav r Statement No. 1.
and expect to fight for that
principle as long as there is any
fighting force left in us, but ' we
don't believe Mr. Cake should be
accused of being noncommittal on
the statement because he doesn't
openly knife a part of his ticket.
It would bp unfair to tne republi
can majority whe nominated
these men, and we believe that
the majority' should rule, and
that -the people, should choose
their U. S. Senators.
