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.

Active publicity work has re
sulted in.such an influx of people
n the more active communities
of tho pacific Northwest that
(lousing tho newcomers has really
,become aEerjous problem in some
f thq towns. 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.

and ornamentals, call on or add

There were already In the Pacific

Uter ships, the California and Routh

the powerful Washington and Tennes

armada, thus making eight armored
cruisers to be added to the eighteen

and Australia, passing on east by way

and ultimately return to Its starting
point -at Hampton Hoods, Borne time

In this expedition the Republican
port has 'a policy which projects Itself
far Into the future, but It Is an entire
misunderstanding of the whole m-hetue
to suppose that It Is aimed narrowly
or definitely at any single power. 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

without suspicion of our political and

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.
This world crulso of tho mighty ar
mada of sixteen ships of the Hue has
been, aud Is being, conducted with a
precision worthy of the fine traditions
of American seamanship which speaks
the highest praise. Every niai, from
the eyes of tho nation at homo were
following him, and that however mod
est, his situation, he must bear himself
srorthlly as an American sailor, In the
ptoutest squadron that erer flew the
Srars nd-Stripes. - . -i .,. f .
i-There is no question but that this
cruise, will be-noted-by all commeuta
tors of the future as ono of the most
