A JOKER IN FREIGHT REDUCTION.
THERE is a little joker in the freight rate reduction on applet).
The' rate for 100 pounds is reduced from ifl.GG to $1.50, but a
charge f ten cents a hundred is added for storage in transit ship
ments. Many shippers in car load lots, store apples at such places as
Buffalo, New York and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and hold for a favorable
market, making a quick delivery with no extra charge. Hut under
the new tariff there will he a charge of virtually 5 cents a box for
such privclcgc, which reduces the net gain in''rate to such shippers to
only :i cents a box. "
This reduction will not satisfy the apple growers of the north
vest, nor is the Hi cent reduction a hundred sufficient. Therefore,
the fight for lower rates to the Atlantic seaboard will have to con
tinue, until a genuine reduction, free from jokers, is secured.

A TOO LOQUACIOUS ADMIRAL.
a1;-:
A reform imitator Iiy the name of
McLaren, wuxed too strong eveu for
the Willamette valley. In hln war
against nubile dunces at AlcMlnnvllle,
Oregon, and wan waltzed out of town
to escape Immersion In the village
pond. The gent took In ton much ter
ritory In his allegations of Immorality,
and secure! t- much reverse English

Ex-Senator Goorgo K. Chamberlain
has been named a member of the ship
ping board by the president, In spite
of the fuct that the jr. sen. hud an
eastern Oregon operator of a threshing
machine picked out for the job.
D.MIIiAfj SIMS talks too much. AVIietlicr his opinions on the
ish situation are right or wrong, he is in no position to ex
press litem. The tluty of an admiral in tin; I'. S. navy, is not to (Miter
politics, not to express opinions on ticklish internal ion.'d questions,
hut to stick to his ship.
Admiral Sims made his first mistake when he wrote a hook. It
was a good hook, hut that only made mat terse worse. For literary suc
cess invariably (joes to the head, and at no time since the publication
of the hook, has Admiral Sims appeared intellcctually,sobcr. A sc
ries of magazine articles with his pictures sprinkled liberally through
tin; text, only'added to the distemper.
As a result, trouble in London was almost inevitable. For in Lon
don Admiral Sims is more than a naval lion. For naval lions don't
roar, lie is it literary anil social lion. Jt was his role as literary lion,
that let loose the floodgates of indiscretion.
So the situation has assumed a crisis in Admiral Sims' career, lie
must decide whether be is to be a figure in politics and literature or
a figure in the United States navy. He can't he both. If be finds
difficulty in deriding, Secretary of the Navy Denhy will have to de
cide for him.
