Thursday, June 6 1912 Is A Sacred Thing. (Spokesman Review). Personality is a sacred thing, Whether one accept or rejoet the the ory that God created man in his own image and likeneBs and pronounced bis wore good, whether one believe or doubt that there is a divine element in men, practically all Americans hold to the divineness and sacredness of man as man. Those qualities pass over from men to the works of men. Society and political institutions have a sacred ness of their own. The presidency of the American democracy, the headship of more than 90,1)00,000 self-governins people, is clothed with a real sanctity. It is sacred because it expresses and incarnates the sovereignty tit the peo ple, who are the fount of authority and the source of law and power. The sacredness of personality em bodied in the supreme office that em bodies the personal authority of over 90.000,0(0 Americans who have dele gated their sovereignty to one man for four years. The Amerioan presidency is the most auguBt of human authorities in the sphere of secular government. Not even the king of England nor the emperor of Russia compares in this respect with the president of the United States They represent mere lv the tradition of inherited and exter nal authority over their subjects. He stands forth as the people themselves through their fellow citizen exercising sovereignty. Lack of respeot for the presidency would result in loss of reverence for he people. The presidency has been glorified by the statesmanship of Washington and sanctified by the martyrdom of Lincoln.' It has been held up by Jefferson and Madison, by Roosevelt and Taft, as presidents, to the lofty level to which the father and the saviour of his country eaoh lifted it. A president is not merely the first citizen of the United States, but is that plus the public and official citi zenship of all Ameiicans as embodied in bis high office. It ought therefore to be held in rev erence by every, citizen, for it ex presses him at bis largest and best as an American. Loss of reverence for what the presidency stands for would inflict grave damage on American character and American life. At Canyon City on Wednesday of last week, George W. Anderson was acquitted on the charge of murder in second decree for the killing of George W. Barnes. This waa the second trial of Anderson, a hung jury last November resulting in a retrial at the May term of court. , President Taft bas granted an un conditional pardon to willard N. Jones, convicted of land fraud in 1905 at the trials conductd by Francis J. Heney and Detective Burns. Pardon as based on the ground that improper methods had been pursued in filling the jury box from which the Jones jury was drawn. It was anything with Heney and Burns to get convic tions; they cared but little how it was done. The Pacific States Telephone com- oany ought to come to Grant county and carefully pick up their Long creek line and take it east for a relic. What the line is maintained for no one knows, as no one in recent years has ever carried on a conversation over it. It is as dead as a last year'a presiden tial boom. The funniest part of it all is no one is vexed or disappointed and if the people of the northern end of the county are asked if thsy have telephone communication they just grin and say "Y-a-p." No one ex pects it to work and it never disap points, and when the people are in a uriy they bitch op a team and drive distance say of 40 or 60 miles. This makes it alow and yet infinitely faster than the phone line to Long creek. All the line needs is a tombstone with comic epitaph. Bine Mountain Eagle.

Bumper crops and prevailing good prices are expected to put the farm ers of the Pacific Northwest in high good humor this Fall, and through him, the three states are expeoted to prosper as never before. Every Indi cation is for big vields in all the staple products and for -some prices will be very high. The biggest wheat crop ever harvested is predicted for Oregon, Washington and Idaho and it is thought the yield will reach 70,000,000 bushels, worth $52,500,000, Oats are expected to add $18,G7R,000 to the farmer's bank roll and barley $9,900,000 more. Fruit marketed this Fall and Winter will add 115,000 000 to this new wealth and hay the neat sum of 138.390,000. The wool crop is estimated to be worth $6,600 000. and hops 14.650.000. This Is a total income for the producres of the three states of almost $150,000,000. If the manufactured produots were added to the wealth of the soil, it is proba ble the total would fall not far below $500,000,000 for the year. Indicating the desire of the railway company to stimulate the livestock industry in every possible way, the O.-W. R. & N. Co. has just named D. E. Clark livestock agent. , This is a new position and he will give his time to aiding the stockmen of the state to grow more and better horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. Now that the three year homestead bill seems certain to beoome a law. interest is being aroused anew in Ore gon's vacant lands. Statistics have been gathered from the records of the General Land Offioe-, showing there is lots of room in this state for the homesteader, there being 15,959,377 acres still unappropriated. This is a little more than one-quarter of the state's tarea. Every county in the state has its quota and while most of the land is far from the larger towns, much of it is fertile and will be pro ductive when tilled. Oregon has an opportunity to attract settlers from the Middle West by making good exhibit at the North western Products Exposition at Min neapolis, November 12-23, according to Will A. Campbell, secretary, who was lately visited Portland. There is nothing so convincing as an actual exhibit of what a state can produce. he says, to win settlers. Such a dem onstration is held to be more forceful than any amount of advertising or any other form of exploitation. Albany's Fourth of July celebra tion will have a double significance. Besides Independence Day enthusiasm, the coming of the Oregon Elctric to Ablany will figure as a oause for cel ebration. Surrounding communities will be invited to help in the jollifi cation. Oregon will have a dr legation in attendance at the Northwestern Dev elopment League Congress at Seattle, June 5, 6, 7 and 8. Representatives have been named by the Governor and Oregon speakers have been given places on the program. Subjects of Interest to the whole Northwest will be discussed. Orders for approximately 50.000.000 feet have been Disced with mills of Oregon and Washington to supply material for new equipment lor tlie Harriman lines in this territory The traffio officials are preparing for the new crop seaBon by ordering 8,200 box cars and 66 cabooses to be distributed over the Union Pciflfic, O.-W.

Knappen berg, of lone, sends up the following: The most effective and practicable method of clearing a dandelion infest el lawn, other than by hand digging, is by the use of iron sulphate applied as a spray. The writer has succeeded with three applications in entirely killing all plants of this common lawn pest without injuiing the grass. A portion of the lawn so badlv infested that hardly anything but dandelions was visible a year ago is now without a single plant and the grass has thick ened a good deal in consequence. A solution of copperas or iron sul phate made by dissolving at the rate of 1 1-4 pounds of the, salt in a gallon of water should be applied to the lawn with a sprav pump so as to wet every.' plant. It will not do to use a common sprinkler. The solution must be pat on in the form of a fine spray aoplied with some force to be most effective. A common bucket spray pump, or even a hand atomizer, for very small areas, is suitable, provid ing it makes a fine, forcible spray. De not try to hit the dandelions only, but cover every square inoh of the lawn. In this way all seedling plants will be killed. Put on a second ap plication in two to three weeks and a third and possibly a fourth late in the summer if any of the dandelions start into growth. The grass will be black ened for a short time, but soon recov ers and atfer a watering and mowing will appear darker green than before. Do not allow the solution to get on oemeot or stone walks as it produces a rather permanent yellow stain. Each age of our lives has its joys. Old people should be happy, and they will be if Camberlain's Tablets are taken to strengthen the digestion and keep the bowels regular. These tab lets are mild and gentle in their act ion and especially suitable for people of middle age and tolder. For sale by Patterson & Son. STRAWBERRIES. Field pick. Si. 35 per crate f. o. b.
