Tito Anderson-O'Brien match slated fbr Oct. 16, is causing plenty et talk already anI when tho fans find time to talk boxing during a worms cnamptoftsnin baseball ser ies, then there la sure a lot of inter est takes la the contest. Just how much O'Brien's recent trip to California, has done for him in tho Kay of "improving his boxing, will be shown In his engagement with Anderson and Dud can establish him sell' in an enviable position If ho can defeat his clover rival, in ten or less rounds. Bud's style of a "take-lt-to-eai" boxer, is of the same variety as practiced by the pride of Oakland Frankle Burns, and as O'Brien has latoly had the pleasure of meeting Frank le, he should bo In line to give tho Washington youngster, some task.

KEl fNTERESJ IN COMING BOXING GO JIMMY'S INFANT INDUSTRY. JIMMY'S Infant Industry is tho title of a capital story Jin September's Everybody that is well worth tho raiding. dinnny is the son of a trust magnate, whom his lather torces into business. -Asked a choice oL business, Jimmy thoughtlessly says he will begin litoby selling bauanas, like his father. So the banana business it is. Bealifcing that it is im possible to corner the banana business, the trust chief lias tho bright idea of fostering an American industry raise bananas under glass and bv means of a protective tariff, shut out foreign competition. So the trust chiefs are summoned. The glass trust is to furnish the glass, the steel trust the structural iron and other fat contracts enlist the support of the interests. Jimmy's father asserts: It VvHl cost, roughly, fifty thousand dollar an aero to put tho laud under glnss. In order to make a return of ten per cent on that Invest nicut It will bo necessary to add tdx and a quarter cents to each banana above tho cost of production. I propose, that our first crop shall sell tor thirty cents apiece! It'll cost twenty-ono cents each to grow 'em can't be done for les Under glass," "I don't propose that another banana shall bo landed on theso shores. What's a tariff for, hey? Ain't It to protect American industry and capi tal, hey 7 l propose, to have it made as dangerous to bring a bnuana into the United States as It Is to forge a check, commit bigamy, or smuggle a petticoat!" It was the president of tho Consolidated Woolen and Textile Trust who chukled dryly from the lower end of tho table. "I follow yon nil right, Gorom. bnt Isn't it a trifle, so to speak ah drastic? Thirty cents n. banana phew!" ''Well. If It Is." retored tho old man Indignantly, "It ought to Interest you goon ami plenty, if you textile peoplo can got rubber arctics tariff taxed as woolen goods and then get a duty on them of forty-four rents a pound and sixty per cent additional this ought to bo right In your lino. If there anything morodrastlc or fantasUc thrn that. It ain't in my banana proposition!" He prodded tho tablo with a big forefinger In emphasis. "Forty-four cent a pound on woolen clothing la more than I'd have tho nerve to ask for a tariff on bananas, let alone that sixty per cent additional that you fellows put through!" "We propose to placo tho contracts for theso greenhouses and their equipment entirely with you representative gentlemen. Incidentally, I may point out that on tho strength of these very profitable orders you will be enabled to make an extra Issue of stock; to put It bluntly, add a llttlo water." Tho little group nodded appreciatively. "Also, tho moment theso heavy orders become public, your water will become instantly a good, digested security. Of course tho success of this project depends on tho passage of an adequate tariff act, and I need not suggest that aj first our united efforts must be centered lu that direction. Our political party has been pledged for years to this great principle of protection for our American Industry in every line, so that wo can confi dently look to it for support now, as In tho past." ' Talking with his son the trust organjzer says: "Jlmmle. son. don't get swept off by any sentimentality over individual cases. One's got to think o' things big things-; as a whole. Why. son, tho mlnuto I float that foreign bond issue abroad and the money's deposi ted here to the credit o" the Consolidated Tropical Fruit Products Develop ment Company, the per capita wealth of this United States will be Increased over one hundred dollars a head, man, woman and child! Think o that waelth. hey! ain't that national prosperity? 1 tell yo, Jlmmle. tho Big Business men hero are tho country's greatest benefactors. What differ ence does It make oven If fewer bananas aro oaten by them that can't af ford them, hey. If thoso that can, pay more for them? Isn't there moro money la circulation? Ain't that prosperty? Bananas cost moro; more money in circulation; more prosperity don't that stand to reason, hey?" "I see," said Jlmmle. "And the higher wo sell bananas, tho higher wages we can pay, so that tho prosperity gets distributed?" The old man chuckled abruptly. "Don't bo foolish. You Just pray for a proper tariff to keep bananas out o' tho country, and Immigration and the natural birth-rate '11 take care o' what wages we pay that's tho natural stale o man in this world competition." So a campaign in the press is started for the banana tariff. The purchase of worn out farm lauds enlists the support of the farmers, the prospect of employment, of labor. Public sentiment in behalf of American industry is aroused and the bill passes. The speaker of the house delivers this oratien: "It has been alleged that this tariff on bananas will raise tho cost of the banana to tho American people. What of it! Is it to bo said that an American Is ashamed to buy expensive things he. tho highest paid worker on the glebe: ror this argument of cheapness I havo tho least patience. As that great statesman. President McKlnley. when discussing this same tariff principle during his brilliant career, said that 'a cheap coat -makes a cheap man' so do I say with all tho fervor of my cause that no less does a 'cheap banana make a cheap man!' "This bill which wo report has been drawn by experts; It has been drafted on that vital tariff principle enunciated by President Taft that a just tariff ,tax is ono so levied as to equal the difference between the cost of production In the United States and the cost abroad, plus a reasonable profit for the American manufacturer. The Tariff Board has been of in estimable assistance in this matter, so that the tariff asked for Is exact. As Is well known, the cost of raising bananas in the tropics la trivial, and wo therefore ask for a protective tariff on bannnas of thirty-two cents aplcce tho difference between tho cost of production at homo and abroad, plus tho reasonable profit." The chairman of the ways and means committee con cludes the debate with the following eloquent prcoratien: "I see, Mr. Speaker, as in a vision, tho now barren lands and stnmpago of Xew England covered with sparkling acres of glass greenhouses from horizon to horizon and topping tho snow-clad hills of thoso now bleak states. Under the vast glass roofs, and In thoso artificially humid groves of fragrant bananas, 1 seo thousands of happy American working men singing at their labors; In their near-by homes a multitude of happy hearts inroo wmi joy tor tuo blessings brougnt by tno Home-grown, all-Amorlcan banana. "As against that Inspiring vision I see the present; tho "banana of to day, a cheap, pauper-grown fruit from a cheap, pauperized foreign country. A negro in a ragged pair of breeches and a tattered shirt or no shirt at all and with a machete in his handt living 'In a wretched palm-thatchcd shack and working for less than half a dollar a day! That Is tho man who is growing bananas for a freeborn American people! No American will accept such a wago or such a life nor can ho compoto without an adequate protection against this pauper fruit "Under the shadow of thoso Stars und Stripes that proudly floated rrom Sumpter to Appomuttax, and In the great name of our frco pcoplo, I ask you to pass this bill and give Justice to tho American banana!" There you have it, in entertaining and realistic form, the establishment of an American infant industry and the way it is done. DEFEAT CRATER SEVENTY world famous scientists, most of them from the" various countries of Europe, recently journeyed fiOOO miles to see Crater Lake. These seventy savants were unanimous in pronouncing Crater Lake unique and most beautiful among the world's wonders, and of absorbing scientific interest. All pre dicted that it -will in future be the Mecca of countless thou sands of tourists, one of the scenic attractions of the world and one of Oregon's greatest assets. Three years ago Ben Selling, stand-pat republican can didate for United States senator, made u speech in the Oregon senate opposing an appropriation for a state high way to Crater Lake, ridiculing its claim to scenic grandeur, asserting that it was not to be classed with Yellowstone or Yoseinite, and declaring it a local affair. Ben Selling has lived all of his life in Portland and has never thought Crater Lake worth visiting. He lias been within a few miles of the lake, but never took tho trouble to visit it. Ben felling spent the summer in the Yellowstone. Me campaigned both in Klamath Falls and Medford. That which was worth a transcontinental excursu'ou of tho American Geographical society to see, was not worth a sixty mile trip by Bon Selling, Xu Ins present campaign, LAKE'S ENEMY. Mr, Selling again asserts that Crater Lake is a local affair, and that it is not worth mi appropriation by tho state to make accessible,, and that, he Would voto against Crater Lake again, Mr. Selling's utterances are the best measure of the man. Comment is superfluous. With such ideas, Senator Selling could not be depended upon to secure national aid for "a local affair" like Crater Lake, Senator Bourne secured, with Senator Chamberlain's aid, the first $00,000 of a $700,(X)0 appropriation for'Crater Lake. m!I Senator Bourne, if re-elected, will see to it that the other .t(50,000 is forthcoming. , Mr. Selling will view it as a waste of the people's money cm "a local affair," and probably vote against it. Do the people of southern Oregon want such a man to represent thorn? Or do they want, a man, who flkfl Bourne, realizes tho needs of the conntrv and makes good I Which Party Has Kept Faith With Labor? The official news letter of tho American Perforation ot Labor for. September 11, 1912, published an of ficial report ot tho cxccutlvo council, signed by each member and under tho seal'of tho organization "Labor'tH 1!U2 Political Program." This re port gives tho work of tho organiza tion tq secure remedial legislation for the worklngman durlug tho adminis trations of Presidents Hoosovult and Taft, the legislative committee's re port on' bills passed and legislation advanced by tho present democratic house of representatives, bills passed by tho senate and bills which were finally enacted Into law. Tho following extracts from this report shew: That tho democratic party has kept Its pledges to labor. That tho republican party and Its caYidldato for president. Mr. Taft, Is now, and has been In tho past, an tagonistic to labor. That the candidate for president ot tho progressive party, Mr. tloosc velt, failed during his administration to secure any romedlal legislation in the Interest of labor. Tho report In part Is as follews: Ijtlwr's 112 Pnlltlcnl Program "From a careful perusal of thoso declarations it will be observed that the national convention of tho repub lican party totally Ignored tho ques tions affoctlug labor's demands for tho principles of Justice and human liberty.
