To tho Editer: Through tho kind ness of a friend I am just In recolpt of n copy of tno Mall Tribune con taining an editorial criticism of my position on the public niarkot. Permit mo to say In reply thereto that I stand first and at all times with the farmer, but positively oppose, tho so called public-, market upon tho grounds that I do not consider It to bo to tho best Interests of the farm er. Tho public market Is an un organized, chaotic method of doing business It neither aftords an op portunity for standardizing values or iuallty of products, nor offers an Impetus to Improvement. Tho allusion to tho fruit growers' organizations is simply begging the question, as there is no parallol whatever between tho two systems. These organizations are thoroughfy organized business units, whore the grower Is not bothered with the problem of distribution but leaves this with a board of dlroctors who establish standards and employ thor oughly trninod business men to at tend to tho market end of tho organi zations. ' I have had an opportunity or at tending somo of tho public markets mentioned In your editorial. The one at Washington, I). C, seems to bo tho most successful; but lot mo remind you that this niarkot is dom inated by trained buslnoss men. I recently vitiitcd the public market at Columbus, Ohio, which to my mind was a disgusting spoctaclo. It was such a conglomerate hodgo-podgo collection of foodstuffs displayed In n manner that would mako It actual ly repulsive to a modorn business man. Tho vendors woro mainly pro fessional huckstors of a low standard of citizenship. If tho bonutiful and progrowlvo city of Mudford establishes tho anti quated public market it is my pro diction that it will provo to bo a long step backward, Tho problem "of production is en tirely dirroront from tho problem of distribution nnd aro two distinctive fields of endeavor. Tho farmer tdiuiild devoto his tlmo and thought to tho ait and sclonre of production nnd louvo tho subject or distribution to thoso trained for that class or work. It would bo far hotter if the rarm ors would effect an organization elect u bonid or directors, empow ered to employ a thoroughly trained badness man to tako chargo or a central niarkot and to whom all products for Bnloaro consignod. In tho abBcneo or this tho next host plan is to trust to tho local merchant and dovolop It possible a closer business reoperation so ns to rcduco the mar ginal dlfforenro botwoon what tho producor receives and tho consumer pays to tho lowest possible limit. Very truly yours, JAMES WITHYCOMBK. PORTLAND. Or. -"I want a fight. Wlioro'B tho guy who knocked mo down?" yelled Archlo Marsh, arc light trimmer, Jumping to his foot. Bystaudora finally convinced him that tho hark of his nork had touched tho hood of an elect rle ore light and tho current had floored him, .. STAND PAT VS. PRESIDENT TAVT hns renewed his nitaek upon judi cial recall. Almost at the same time Senator La Follelto in his New York speech championed it. Tin attitude of the two candidates toward this jjressive measure is typical of the attitude oC their respec tive followers toward government. Taft represents tho stand-pat. reactionary tory ele ment. . Tn his eyes the courts take the place that the kiiu takes in (he eyes of the monarchist something sacred anil superhumanthat can do no wrong, a suhject. to he spoken of with hushed voice. La Follette holds thai' judges are like other officials servants of the people and suhject to an accounting like other servants. There is an irreconcilable difference between the prin ciples of these two sections of the republican party, and they can never come together, any more than the Uryan ami Cleveland wings of the democratic party can unite. The conservatives of each party should, and probably will, unite upon a candidate and the progressive-or liberal fac tions of both do likewise. Taft and Harmon would either one draw the support of the conservatives of both parties if the opposing candi date was Wilson or La Follette, a progressive. La "Toilette is more of a progressive than Wilson and more of a constructive statesman. I le has had a riper and fuller experience. "Wilson is the more of a theorist. lut both have much in common and reflect tho political ideas of a large section of the thinking public. The attacks upon "Wilson, for repudiating Harper's Weekly and the. charges of "ingratitude," the digging up of old letters regarding "Brvaii, the attempt of llenrv Vat- i x.. im : t i.i.. uu-sim hi nvaiiizi1 ins c.uiuiuncy, .tit serin ciuuusu ;um ' inspired from a common source. Nothing yet said has hurl j Uio "Wilson candidacv with anv sincere follower. As for 11 Follette. he has been under fire so long that he is ballet proof. ' - -Srtf!!8B It is strange how many old lino republican papers are, ,! yo there was nothing oio saying nice things to help along Harmon's candidacy, and letct for mo to do. wimt mtio hurt at tho same time how concerned thev are with Wilson's p v fait cotnmquonco r "illfri-.,t?f,in " linu- iniH'li innrn tlin- rnsmir Hn lilliwriwl i "" MMwtpoctol iwddenuuM of your 'insult" to Bryan than Bryan himself does, and how little space they give to La Follette and his campaign, which the Associated Press almost ignores. There promises to be a realignment of parties or at least a shifting of membership due to the fact that the people themselves have little or nothing to say about the candidates, except in a few states where the presidential primary obtains. If given a chance, the people of the United States would be found voicing the political unrest and awakening democracy that obtains throughout the world that has made a republic of Portugal and sent the jMauchu dynasty tottering to its ruin in China, that has exiled the old Shah, of Persia and made a prisoner of the "sick man of the east," the Sultan of Turkey; that has made the long sacred Grand Lama of Thibet a wandering refugco in foreign lands; that has emasculated the British House of Lords by taking awaj' the veto power; and that, under the guise of socialism is threatening the throne of the Geriyan Kaiser. But a little while and the elaborate predatory polit ical machine created by the alliance of business and pol ities will be no more gone with the "Son of Heaven" and the "Jewel in the Flower of the Lotus" when the people shall have come into their own. for mmm case INDIANAPOLIS, Jnd., Jan. 31.--Tlio M'opo of the government's probe into tlio alleged country wide, dyna mite plots wiiH muteriully widened In day when it jyis announced Hint MiibpciiHs would lio nerved nit nil per MriK thought to liuvo knowledge of the znilt of John J. and James B.
