The flax Industry Is more worthy of a bounty law than tho sugar-beet business. Tho flax business Is not in the hands of a trust. Tho prlco of sugar has recently bedn advanced enough to rIyo the growers of sugar beets more thun n dollar a ton. Will they got It? iCapt. McUrldo'd fate, nnd the loss of the unfortunate crew of the Atlanta oil Alsca Hay teach a lessen: take no chances on a dangerous const. Why not be honest about It: Is tho Republican city campaign a light for anything but control of tho city ma chine In tho next sta'o election ? Of course, It Is not. From tho top (if his head down to his necktie, Congressman Cushman's picture In prolllo is a porfect outline of Mt. Tacoma, with the noso for the peak. Ho may bo a very good man fur all that, and the average newspa per picture Is a Hbol anyhow. w . Tho Oregon state printer Is not lu It, Recently the stato printer of i'enn sylyanla, a man named Jluscli, put In a. bill for $57,002.85 for printing a work on the "Diseases utul enemies of poultry." A bullotln of 123 pages. Even Ponnsylvanldns kicked nt such a bill. There are scarcely enough Mo Brides to go around. There Is a MoDrldo with Collector uf Customs lyy in Alusku; a nuphow Edmund bus gone to Join the senator at Washing ton; Ronjamln Franklin still holds down his Job at tho state houso; Dr. Richardson Is still olllclal state pliysi- can; and only one of tho Marlon county delegation voted for Simon. The mobs back council of Dallas parsed au ordinance, nllowing milk cows to run ut largo In tno city cor- cum seasons or ino year, tho mayor in a very sonslblo up-to date messugo vetoed tho ordinance. It Is simply ridiculous for a county scat to allow cows to run at large Insldo tho city limits, and If Dallas would bo uclty it should at once pass u htrlct ordinance absolutely supping tho nulsuu:o The advent of Miss Junet Waldorf In Romeo and Juliet, As You Llko It aud Twclth Night, In Albany, will Lo hailed by many us thn ovent of our theutrlcal season.

Tiik Journal says tt'o light of tho Telegram to get tho stato fulr from ijalom to Portland is a dirty one, that he Orcgoulan Itself docs not dure to say anything on account of Its big patronago In Portland,so saddles It on tho Telegram, which Is really all tho samo. It maybe adlrty light so far as PortlandlB. concerned, but so far as tho rest of thostuto Is concerned, they ara tired of a county fulr being passed otlasjastate fair, and receiving uid from tho stato, und it Is tlmo thero was a change.

Hetweon tho special session and tho regular oue Is u good tlmo for thoughtful legislators to study out what old laws should bo repealed und what new ouca enacted. Tho presont laws regulating tho boards or control of6tato institutions are nearly ull bad, All the Important stato Institu tions, for which tho stato pay out annually thousands aud tens of thou wndsof dollurs, should ba under nun jiartlsan boards of control or boards us lMrly noa-partlaio as possible, This aFfIkaa)clally totho stato educa UmmI institutions.

K. them nnd see that they are paid. You cannot blame tho tho grocerymcu or other merchants. They want to Hell their wares and merchandise. They furnish good goods and can readily swear that they did so and tho bills must be paid. Who Is to blame? The law makers. Tho laws aro bad, Tho whole field of stato Institutions needs badly to lie covorcd by detailed legislation. Needs It immediately. Farmers nnd real tax payers arc sweating and laboring nt 81, u day or less to get money to pay tbolr taxes, ten or a dozen thousand dollars Is quickly dumped out at a stuto school to educate a few dozen poor children and kecpfuta few officers. Extended and careful laws should bo drawn covering all these institutions. Tho laws regulating notaries public should bo amended und tnudo more strict. The quallllcatlons of notaries should bo bettor tested. At present a wry largo porccnt of tho notaries are Incompetent. A representative of tho Journal upon Investigating this question has ascertained that as high as four our of six uppllcants for notaries havo failed to send In their bonds correctly executed, Just think or It, over sixty percent of tho no taries cannot make out and execute correctly their own bonds, What can they do ror other people9 There should Only bo a limited number or notaries In cucli precinct and they should bo appointed solely on account or uiorlt and their legal und business ability should In somo way bo tested berorothey aro appointed. Tho pres ent law regulating notaries was en acted when condition) woro dllTorent. Every notary should bo required by law to have a petition or fifty house holders ror Ills appointment should give a bond of one thousand dollars should hold oflico for four years should bo compelled to have engraved upon his seal tho duto of tho expira tions or his commission and .should pay to the stato trcasursr a fco or ten dollarn to bo turned into the general fund or tho state. Thero should bu some legislation looking towards permanent goods. Bomo provision whereby tho road supervisor of each district should be compelled during his termor oflico to construct at least a certain number of rods or miles of permanent roads of sultuble description. If each super visor was compolleu to construct one mllo or real turnplko eacli year It would only bo u short tlmo till all the roads would bo In a substautlul con dltlon. Tho present troublo Is that tno woric is not continuous or or a permunont nature Ono supervisor goes along und tills a hole hero nnd dumps a loud or gravel there und cuts out a root lu another tilaco und scat ters his work ull over tho districts In such u maurior that none of ltdocsnny good. Lot each supervisor grado nnd gravel properly and well ono mllo or the most traveled road In his district each year tho work to bo Inspected" andupproyed by tho court. In ten years tho worst roads or tho present would bo tho best roads. Somo bright loglslutors could mako his ovnrlastlng ramo by devising somo plan ror con tinuous, consccutlvo und permanent Improvement or country rouds throughout tho state a plan that would work out u good system of roads within ten or fifteen years with out Bonding all tho counties hopo lcssly In debt ror tho Improvements, Good mucadumlcd roads cost about 92,000 to tho mllo but they nru per manent when nnco built. Tho convicts lu many States aro worked In building macadamized roaus una tucre is no reason under tho sun why tho cou ntry reads around Salem should not bo kopt In tip top order by tho iOO or 400 convicts nt tho ponltentlury. Perhaps tno most apparent cuse or tho necessity or repealing u law Is tho cuso or tho ono requiring ull county Behind every great man you will find a mother.

THE PRUNE CROP. Practical Fruitgrowers' Remarks On the Industry. Wnltcr Lyon writes from Salem to a Portlund paper: Prune-growing attracted considerable attention in this part of tho valley during the past season. The crop was moio than twlco us. largo us that of any pro ceeding year; the mnrkct hus been very good, and growers goucrully rcnoit u profit from the busslncs. When asked If he considered the pruno business permanently estab lished on u paying basis, a practical grovvcr referred to tho remarks made on the subject by II. II. Miller, cx-prcsldcnt or the stuto ugrlcul turul college, who said in part: "The market prlco or u thing Is only one side or the law or value, nnd be fore we engage In the permanent pro duction or anything llko prunes we muHt. cxamlno the other, aud more Important us well as tho morodllllcult side or tho question; und that Is the cost or production, Tho cost or pro duction In this sen so Includes growing curing, preparing und sondlng to market. "If the climatic und soil conditions in France, Austria or any other foreign country bo better for tho production ot prunes than In this country; If tho cost or labor Is also permanently less, and tho cost or transportation to murket no greater than In this country, then It would be roily for us to ongugo In tho business unless the government provides u protection by tarlll legislation. "Tho consumption or prunes In this country Increased 120,000,000 pounds In tho four years from 181)1 to 181)5, und tho pruno grower can look ror a much greater consumption und a more cer tain und steady market In tho future. "It seems to bo settled, for vurloue reasons, that no other section of this country cun compolu with thoPaclllo coast In pruno growing. Tho next problem is, can wo compote with Cali fornia? ir their cost or production Is from ) to 1 cent u pound less than ours, thonthoy will cvontuully kill tho Industry lu Oregon, unless thomurkot requires our crop In addition to tholrs If It should cost 1 cent a pound more to produco prunes In California than In Oregon, cud tho miirkot required tho California product In addition to ours, there would bo an assurance or profit to tho Oregon producor. "It Is a grluyous mistake to eugugo In production simply on an examina tion of market rates. If tho elements ut command Insure tho lowest cost or production, then thoro need bo uo hes itancy whatever In entering tho Hold with confidence or success ir proper attention Is given. " Tha question Is constantly bolug asked, 'Is thero notgre.it danger or overproduction or prunes?' Tho ques tion ror the pruuegrowor to determine Is not, 'Will there bo an ovorpred no tion?' but, 'Can I produco at nearest tho lowest cost?' ir there Is tin over production, thoso laboring under the most exponslvo dllllcultles, und whose cost or production Is along the higher margin, will bo the ones who must discontinue tho business. Tho whole question or pruuoproduclug lu Oregon must bo Mdved by those who undertako it, through tho pmctlcul competition or cost of production."

The mem bers have favorably considered a proposition to glvo tho Islauds a rep resentative in tho houa with u voto In which regard he would rank with tnc representatives, and not with tho delegates from Arizona. New Mexico und Cklohotua, who have tho prlvelco of talking, but not tho right of voting. Tho government suggested ror the Island will In all probability be an advance on the present organized territories, but. or pourse, will not contemplate statehood. Scvcrul mem bers or the commission go to the ex tent or believing that Hawaii should have representation in tho senate, though probably without a voto. This feature, however, may not appear In tho report. Tho distance or the Islands from the Mat of government necessitates tho granting of moro power for local government than Is given to tho present orgunlzed territories, but the governor and other Important oillcera will, of course, be appointed in Washington. Hawaii having como into the Union by treuty, und not by conquest, thero will bo no military government, as in the case of Porto Rice and the Philippines, but a civil power will be created from tho start. In a general way the courts und ordinary machinery uf tho fedcrul government will be extended to tho Islands without much alteration, but provision will probably bo made for a certain degree of local control or taxation und expenditures. .There will boa suffrage based upon education und property qualifications, aud tho members or tho commission believe they have ovolycd a system or colonial government which will reserve full power to the president and congress, and at tho same time prove sufficiently clastic to give tho govern ing clasfes In tho Island control of local Improvomctjtsand tho direction or colonial affulrs. When the Hawaiian commission left this country tho president In structed them to kcop In mind tho possessions acquired by tho war, und the government which will oc recommended ror tho Hawaiian Islunds will serve as u model ror that or the Philippines and Porto Rice.
