Lay, tlio American consul general in Berlin, hns returned here from a viit of inspection to tlio oui ocn prison camp nt Torpuij Saxonv. Ho says that the officers, with sol dier us their servants, run their own mess, of which the Frenchmen, with traditional Gallic culinary bkill, have taken charge. The officers, piny ten nis and football, but are not permit ted to have liberty in thb town. The general commanding explained thai this was because the nuti-Kuglnnd feeling was so high he feared that the llritish officers would be mobbed if they left the limits of the fortress. The German feeling toward the French is found far different than lownrd tho HritWi. The consul wit nessed mi example in n French sur geon who, crippled from rheumatism ami ovcr-excrliou. vvns being repair! uted via .Switzerland. While ho trns being1 carried past the consul, under the escort of u soldier, an accom panying Gorman officer stopped the soldier, ordering him to unfix his bayonet, nud said: "Remember! he is not yjmr pris oner and that you are his servant.

This moans that fruitgrowers ol' the northwest must laee a aemurnir.ou ninrivoi, as mo nunc of the. erop is shipped abroad. It is therefore up to the grower to tit oneo engage in side, lines that, will tide him over the period of depression. The same eauses that depress the fruit market will stimu late the market for foodstuffs. The millions of men with drawn from produetive pursuits must be fed. Heroin lies the ehaneo lor the American tanner. The price of meat, as of oWier staples, will continue to climb. Increase in shipping facilities, now under way, will enable the marketing of surplus foodstuffs. It is to the production of these humble but profitable crops that the orchardist must turn his attention. To fruit raising should be added poultry and hogs. There, aiv some 110,000 pounds of live poultry shipped weekly the year through from the middle west to the coast states. There are many carloads of eggs. The war will supply a bettor market in Europe than the coast for these products, leaving the coast to coast producers. As with poultry, so with hogs. There are not enough hogs raised in the west to supply coast demand. Con stantly ascending prices insure large profits with markets handv. The local orchardist should sively into poultry and pigs. DR. WITHYCOMBE'S CITIZENSHIP INVOCATION regarding Dr. .lames Withyoombos birth and citizenship being carefully eliminated from tho official pamphlet issued by the secretary of. state, the Portland Oregonian -undertakes to supply the deficiency as i'olfews: Young Janics Wlthycombe cast his first vote, nfter becoming of age. In 1S7G, for Rutherford 11. Hayes for president. It was discovered In 18SS that thero was an Irregularity In tho naturalization papers of Mr. Wlthycombc'a father, and to niako assurance doubly sure, as to himself, ho mado a courtVccortl of his own naturalization, Mr. Wlthycombe baa lived forty-three years In Oregon, lie has voted Oilrty-olglit years, or more. Its Oicro a better or moro consistent Amer ican citizen in tho state? But where was James "Withycombe born? "Why all this mystery? Why hide the fact that he was born in England? Why did James Withycombe vote in 187G before be coming' naturalized, rind vote at every election following until 1888, without being naturalized? Why did Jaitics Withycombo wait until ho sought pub lic office before becoming an American citizen? The federal court records show that James Nithy combc renounced allegiance to Queen Victoria in 1SS8 and was admitted to American citizenship before Judge Beady. is it the part ot "good citizenship .to vote lor twelve vcars without beiiig a citizen? PROGRESS VS TMIAT the republican party litis become the party of - reaction was apparent at the last national election. That it is still more reactionary today is without question. ' As Theodore Eoosevelt says, the republican party of today has nothing in common with the republican party of Lincoln's time. As a matter of fact, the two parties have changed positions. The democratic party was then the party of vested interests and privilege, "and the repub lican part)' the party of reform, progress and humanity. Under Woodrow Wilson, the democratic party is be coming to the nation what tho republican party was in Lincoln's time the instrument of national regeneration and reform. It is to strengthen Wilson's hands and enable him to carrv out his constructive policies that he is appeal ing to the people of Oregon for the return of George E. Chamberlain to assist him in the senate. In no state in tho Union is the republican' organization more completely in the hands of tho reactionaries than in Oregon. Booth, MeArlhur, Ilawley, Withycombe, till are stand-patters and believers in special privilege, and gov ernment by political machine. All tire distrustful of the people and hold the Oregqn systchi in'contempt This election, like so many others held recently, is not a struggle between parties, but for principles. It is the age-old battle of progress versus privilege and in Oregon," as iu the nation, the republican organization of today rep resonts privilege. Tired of Governor West (From tho Portland Journal.)

Tlio republican party is not, or should be a standpat party.
