Aurora, Or. Thursday, Oct. 15 1903 This has been fin exceptional fall, so faras the "rainy se:.r;o:i" is concerned No country on eaith can boast of more delight ful weather than has been en joyedin 0 regon. The a! rence of rain makes ideal day., but plenty of rain during tie fall and winter always insures heavy crops the following year. On -gon never has a crop failure, ard all her crops are good, but some years they are better than e ther?, and these are years' when there is a copious rainfall during th winter. Ycting rrierj and women who are hot in school this winter could hot do a better thing thanto map but a course of reading for tho wi riter. It is a good plan for jrilral communities to form study "clubs and carry out their work in a systematic manner. Nothing is more delightful during the long winter evenings than to bury one's self in a good book. Liter ature can bo obtained from the State Library Commission at Sa lem and every grange, club, read ing circlo or debating society, can have a traveling , library by taking up tre matter with the ktatc Commission. Tho use of Iho books is free. , For all kinds of nursery stock call or address Chas.

New residences lre being., erected as rapidly as lossible, and rented long m ad vance of their completion. In Borne of tho fruit districts, cars Joadcd with . household goods are occupying tho tracks and the de lay in their uploading is making the orchadists apprehensive as to trackago for their fruit ship ments. . . i Tho attempt of the negroes in Portland to "boycott" Tom Dix ton's "Clansman" reminds us of tho negro editor in Portland who went into a saloon and called for glass of beer.' The bar keeper said: "No coons served at this bar' The negro asked for an ex planation, as to the term "coon," Und demanded that he be treated with tho samo. consideration as a 'White man. The bar keep had a tricky fist and it suddenly landed n the negro's face. Tho colored jrother picked hinisdf up just in .ime to go with a policeman 'to the station where ho answered n charge of starting an uiTray. The greatest problon the negro has to deal with is himself in his efforts to force the white man to recognize his equality. Every tnan likes to choose his own com pany, and people who wish to sec mu ciansman win not be in fluenced by ncg ro demonstrations.

To which were add td the Nebraska and the Wisconsin, al ready In Puget Sound, thus making a Aet of eighteen first-class modern battleships In perfect condition. There were already In the Pacific and Oriental waters the flue armored cruisers West Virginia, Colorado, Ma ryland and Pennsylvania. Their two Uter ships, the California and Routh pakotn, were m1o on the Pacific, and the powerful Washington and Tennes see went from the Atlantic to Join the armada, thus making eight armored cruisers to be added to the eighteen battloshliw, In addition there were In tho Pacific1 several protected cruisers, gunboats and other lesser craft.

It Is one of those robust constructive poli cies of the party gauged on world lines. It Is more of a notification than a threat, to nil existing governments. ' Welding Nana aal Soatb America. The eyes of tho world have followed our floet with absorbing Interest. One of the great advantages gained by this cruise Is the cordial welcome and close acquaintance which It has evoked from the governments and peoples of the chief republics of Latin America. To tho itr7.11!uns, the Argentines, the Chi lians and the Peruvians, the mighty re public of the north had been merely a lumio or a dim figure, powerful and Honored perhaps, out Hot actually known. Tor years there had been lit tle or no vUlble evidence of tho wealth, or authority of the United States, In the chief South American ports. Put they were all visited by swift' and stately liners, flying the flags of the maritime powers of Europe. At every South American port the fleet, our navy, our government, our In stitutions, our people, our alms, our luduttrlca. our trad4 every conceivable thing thitt Is our. have been discussed ss they never icre before, and tint without suspicion of our political and !!oautl Intentions.

In a statement In a rpeech he mads In Kt. tcuU, President Itoosovelt took the puhtla Into Ms confidence to a d greo when he ld: 'California, Ore gon and Washltirton have a coast Hue which Is our coast line Just as emphat ically as tho coast line of New York and Maine, of LoulNlajia and Texas.

' Atvaaealec ! lae Crleal. ' The Paildo Ocean Is re.gnlsed by j all far scstlug statesman as the theater ' of the wvrll's coinltg great t trug ! for military and commercial mastery. When China awakens, to he degree that Japan Is now awake, events pass log the power of the imagination to conceive will take place. As to the palliative aud beneficent effect this cruise may have on China and Japan, there can be but one opin ion.. While I'ncle Sain was little con cerned about the rumors to the effect tiiat Japan was about to descend upon the Philippine, or possibly to make a d"uionstrutIji off our Pacific coast, yet bo did den ire, and perhaps 1 In a position to Insist, that the Open Door policy bo maintained In China. Japun has apparently never been quite recon ciled to this policy, and Is said to have worked to establish In China the poli cy of "sphere of Influence." To this America, with Kuropean nations, stren uously objected and does still object This Open Door policy stands as a world nionumcrit In diplomacy to tae constructive genius of the Republican party. William Howard Taft Is In full sympathy with this constructive policy. Mr. Taft on his last trip to tho Orient was given such an enthusiastic reception at Shanghai, China, as was never before uccorded to any vlsltlDg statesman by olllclals of the Celestial Kingdom. On 'that occasion Mr. Taft mad a iiech which, in spite of Its gciiUl tone ami cautious phrasing, was lit flnce recognized as of the highest Ititt motional Importance. Bald he: . "WE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST AT BEING EXCLUD ED FROM THE TRADE OF CHINA jlY REASON OF OUU INSISTENCE t'PON THE TOLICY OF THE OPEN DOOR. The acquiescence In this poli cy of all the nations interested has been so unhesitating and emphatic that It is hardly worth while to speculate as to how far the United States would go In the protection of Its Chinese trade. This feeling Is likely to find expression In the action of . the American government. The United States and the other powers favor the Open Door, and if they are wise they will encourage the empire to take long steps In admlulstratlve and govern mental reform." So we have not far to teek for an other very powerful reason for this world crulso of our fleet. Mr. Tuft simply announced In diplomatic lan guage that this cruise Is Intended to say that the Open Door policy will b maintained nt any price. He Is In thorough sympathy with the alert con structive policy of the Republican party. He Is ouo of Its chief expon ents. y 4 . -IVrteelloa of niaelpllne.
