HOW tho Oregon supreme court is regarded at the na tional capital is shown in the following statement by Will G. Steel, who has just returned from Washington: "I found about the halls of the Capitol a feeling of re sentment that even so august a body as the supreme court should deem the Crater Lake National Park a local affair, any more than that Yellowstone National Park shouldbo so considered." The supremo court, which went out of its way to take tho narrow view of tho Crater Lako highway appropriation and so put itself on record as incapable of appreciating tho wonder nature has placed in Oregon, did more, for it vir tually held that there was ono law for northwestern Oregon and another law for southern Oregon and that while the constitution could be stretched to aid the development of the Willamette valley, it could not be so stretched when it meant the expenditure of state money in another sec tion of the state. The supremo court ought to feel proud of itself. Secretary Ballinger will visit tho lake the coming sum mer. So will Chief Forester Graves. Both of them will then become ardent boosters for Crater Lake, as .ill have ; who have seen the blue waters of tho mystic lake. Mr. Steel states that he told Mr. Ballinger that $2,000, 000 would be needed eventually to improve Crater Lake park. The secretary assured him of his belief that such an amount would be secured and paid tho Medford Com mercial club a high compliment, stating frankly that had it not been for the indomitable energy and persistence of the Medford commercial interests that nothing further would ever have been done, following the supremo court's unfavorable decree. Everyone who has not signed the subscription list is requested to do so at once, that the work may be carried on outside the citT with vigor.

Ninety-five per cent of the men starting newspapers pearcd every little while, and changed its name to Central Point Globe. The Herald already fills the Central Point field and there isn't call for two pa pera. Better combine them, bettor lor the publisher, better for the read rs and better for Central Point. Sometimes the paper dies when the publisher becomes bankrupt, sometimes it passes through a series of owners, nearly all of whom lose their investment, until the time, the field and the right man come together. The average writer has.no business ability. The aver age business man no editorial ability. The combination of the two is rare. There are morn business fools in the nrintiucr and mib- Vanoy Record, a weekly tap. g S than in almost any occupation. That is why, as a class, they have less credit than other business men; why they deserve less, and why those who give them credit get "stung." The average printer, working for wages, has no chance to learn business methods. When he sttirts on small cap ital for himself, he does not know how to f igure cost, cuts rates, cannot make expenses and fails. The merchant that sells goods below cost is going to fail, as is the printer. The average publisher starting a new daily, is too in experienced or too dense to comprehend the business laws underlying successful journalism. Population and capital are essentials. The greater the population the greater the capital required. The revenue to support a publication can be figured per capita of population. If the population is not suffi cient, neither will the revenue be. If the available rev enue be concentrated into one channel, the output is a bet ter product than if scattered into several. One institution that pays its bills is better for the community than several that don't. The responsible man who understtinds the newspaper business will not risk his capital, time and energy in a new venture unless the population, present and prospective, justifies it. Even then it is a matter of years, usually,, be fore the venture is a money maker. The irresponsible, with shoe-string capital, having little to lose, is willing to gamble.

THE INDIANA CONVENTION. The eyes of the nation politically, are focused today on the republican state convention here, where, the issues of the approaching congressional campaign are being forgjjd. The fight of the progressives in congress against the regulars practically opens here with tho championing of the progressive cause by Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana. The Payne-Aldrich tariff, the bone of contention in republican ranks and outside of, them, will bo endorsed or rejected by the republicans of Indiana before the conven tion comes to an end. ' A tariff commission proposal;fayored by Beveridge will also be endorsed or cast aside by the, delegates before thoy adjourn.
