The Oregon Daily Journal, w' lob boasts of being a (air aud bigb-claes Journal, is beginning a ciuHad of misrepresentation against II. M. Cake, Republican caudilate for tbe United States senate. The Journal prints something every day about the alleged disruption of Mr. Cake's forces, tbe revolt of tbe Fulton people from tbe Cuke camp tbe alleged weakening of Mr. Ciike on Statwment No. 1 and other absolutely unfounded matters In Mr. Cake's campaign. in view of the fact ttmt Mr. Cake has made a olean, fair and honet.t campaign, standing upon principle entirely and leaving mud slinging and partisan prejudice and bitterness out of the game, the action ol the Journal is KiirprlHlug Mr. Cako denervei4 fair treatment ut tbe bands of the Jour Dal, although be may be a Ropuhll cau. He has won a creditable tight before the people of Oivgon Bud Ihe Journal ia not makng any votes for Cloveruor Chamberlain by printing faixe statements concerning Mr. Cake. There Is no sign anywhere in Oro gou that tbe Fulton people are going to assist in tbe election of (lovernor Chamberlaiu wbo went out of bis way to engage with Uenev in the tight on Ssnatir Fulton. Mi. Cake has not wavered In his advooaoy of State meat No. 1, and he will not waver lie made tbe tight on that principle and won one of tbe most noteworthy victories lu the political hitttory of tbs state, defeating oue ot the very strongest men in his party in tbe sen atorial race. Mr. Cake ia a strong, (ore! bio, hnn eat, olean oandidate, a Hist-olaes citi zen, public-spirited, active, aleit and high-minded, aud will be au honor to Uregon in tbe United States senate, And beiug a Republloau will be In position to take au active part in 'he alfairs or govemtne"t, iuatead of be log an obstructionist and an ohjctor to every move made for tbe executio'i ot the Roosevelt polioies. East Oro- gouian. Any Old Rate Will Do. All over the country tbe cry is for a reduction in railroad rates from a three to a two cent a mile basis. The railroad companies say that they laii't do It and stay in tbe busiueKc, aud they may be right. In vetoing tba two-cent lilt in New lork Mover noi Hughes held that he would be an injustioe to the roada to pass such a bill without Drat making careful and oompeteut investigation of the rate question. If Mr. llairltnau will lint shore a liue out to Komil we'll gladly pay four cenU a mile, as they no on the Condon btanob, and theu think that we are being pretty well treated. If we oan't get lower tates uud new rsilroads too give us the latter every time. It isn't tb price we care so muob about out bere In the Interior; it's the roada. Fossil Journal. Real Estate Male.

THE VARSITY LETTER. Te the College Man It Is as a Flag te a Nation. Whnt a flag is to n nation a varsity letter Is to n college mnn. I.Ike it ban ner, a varsity letter Is clustered nround with comedies nud tragedies, witb yearnings and heartburnings. The "II" of Ilnrvnrd, tho "Y" of Ynlc, the T" of Trinceton nnd the varsity let ters of the various other colleges nnd universities have meanings to college men which never occur to others. And there are strict rules and condition surrounding the letters. Every Harvard nthleto who wins aa "II" sweiitr nuiet obey the un written rule of taJ wwtiTwlry-W rnrte tttMeti anys siiecfljr that no "II" sweater must not be displayed saw on tho fiold of nction. Even In such appropriate places It ought not to make Its appear ance with excessive frequency. On or. dinRry occasions good tasto at Har vard Inspires a varsity nthleto to wear n class or prep school sweater. At Yale a "Y" mnn, If he bo a modest fellow generally, niny appear even In Chapel street in his "Y" sweater, but that sort of thing at Cambridge Is ab solutely prohibited. It Is generally thought that the man who would display his "II" In the streets or in the "yard" Is tho sort of man who wishes people to know that ho has done something. Therefore, the argument runs, he Is tho sort of mnn who should fool the force of the gen eral contempt. There are four kinds of "II" sweat era which may bo worn on the field of notion. In baseball nnd track nth lctlcs a solid crimson swenter Is tbe reward of superior excellence a black "II" for the baseball and a white "II" for tho track. The varsity football sweater at Cambridge Is black, with a smnll crimson "II." Tho crew sweater Is solid white, with a crimson "H." Of lato yenrs the custom has grown up of giving some sort of "II" recog' nltlon to the varsity men In the minor sports. In basket ball the nthletic powers thnt be confer a crlmsou swenter, with a whito "II" which contains between Its uprights two small "It's." The varsity tennis men get a white sweater with a red "II," in the lines of which arts small "T's." The hockey men, who are strongly In touch with the football team, earn nn "tl. T." Mack sweater. The day has gono by when a superb athlete can reap a collection of all the "II's," for tlie faculty now restricts an athlete's participation to two major sports. In the nineties it was possible for n mnn to earn an "H" in football, rowing, basebnll nnd track, Boston Herald. Thackeray as a Dinar. Many worthy ami somo notable per sons have possessed the onlou habit now nnd again. William Makepeace Thackeray, writing of himself In "I.ov ell the Widower," says, "It Is notori ous to nil my friends there Is a cer tain dish 1 cannot resist." lie referred to stewed tripe and onions, as a proof of which it Is narrated of him thnt on one occasion while on his wny to dine with the Marquis of Westminster his eye caught sight of a placard In the window of n London restaurant liear Ing tho legend, "Tripe and onions to night" Going in, he called for the dish and writing materials and wrote off as an exenso to his would tie host that be bad unexpectedly met an old friend that Insisted upon detaining him. ThixfcsrsT's fumiHe edfbles raw oj-Btui! anH olmx, and It may be recalled tsnt he told Mr. Field, tbo Boston author, who acted ns agent In his lecture tour In this country, that his chief purpose in coining to Amer ica was to obtain somo of the famous large oysters of this land which he had beard grew to fabulous size In stead of tho little coppery things of England. At this first dinner of Bos ton, therefore, a plate of large "Provl- donee rivers" was set liefore him as an appetizer. He partook of one with a surprised look. Being asked how he felt, he replied: "Profoundly grateful. I. feel, as. If I had swallowed a bnby." Real Estate Transfers. Hood River Development Co. to C.
