AN EXTRA SESSION IS INEVIT ABLE. From, (ho standpoint of tho Interests of tho city of Salem, an extra session of tho legislature Is an Inovltablo ne cessity. This Is not-said from tho standpoint of tho hotels and boarding houses, but from tho standpoint of tho city's flnan clal. Intercuts ami futuro dovolopmonb. This city will bo thrown a year be hind lu Its finances, If llioro is no lovy mado.on tho assessment of 190S. And It would nevor catch up. Tint city can only lovy 10 mills for gonoral olty purposes In any ouo yenr. It cannot make a doublit lory, Ilka tho county, to catch up. It would tako ton years with thout most economy to catch up and got on to a cash basis, whoro It Is said to bo nt praumt. Without a special session, for many years It would bo on a credit basis, nnd that would mean oxtravngnnco nun piling up of another floating dobt. Without a special suasion this city woqld probably default ou Its Interest paymouts, and Its warrants would go to a discount. Tho mayor and tho olty council should take Uto most stronuous action to proTunt tho olty from again going book Into an Insolvent condition. Thero Is no city bo uufortuunto as on that gets hopolossly Involved In Its bonded and temporary Indebted ness. It gets In deeper and doopor. For llvo yours this olty has beon run on a plain program of business man agement, and to plungo It into dlsor dor would be a hard blow to Its future dorclDpmant. AFTER THE OREQON DELEGATION Thu Hugene Register, a leading Ho publloan paper of l.nne county, stents to think the attuolts of tho public men of Oivkou by the Uopubllcnu paper at Portland aro for personal purposed. It Insinuates that even tho potty no otuatlon of opening a letter, for which ttXtCongnwsman Malcolm Moody Is In dllted lu the United Status court (and wilt ho gloriously acquitted). Is the re stUt of powmal spleen. In tho ooursu of tho splenetic "Ore goub(Kiit stylo of Journalism thero Is no m&u bnf truuv tho process of de mnlltiou, until tho uumbw of men of Injlueueo ami prominence lu national affnlm Ik very small. Tho ItugUtar sayaz "What the lteg Spare the Pills and spoil the child! Sugar-coated, Acer's; mild, t CkntCty UU,Um. Istor objects to most Is tho son'sleas parade of rot about men who stand high In the counsels of thopooplo of tho state being mixed up In -all sorts of land fraud schemes, when there is no foundation whatever for such asser tions. Tho assaults upon Congress man Williamson aro wngod ostensibly Ift Moody's behalf, and tho Insinua tions cast at Hormann seem to bo tho cheap work of ono on tho Oregonlan who Is closely connected by blood to a special Inspector. "While tho people of Oregon are anxious that whatever of genoulno land frauds exist are brought to the surface and proper punishment ad ministered thero is gonoral rovulslon against tho wholesale Indiscriminate mnnnor In which mon of prominence In national affairs aro assailed merely on suspicion, without tho slightest ovl donco to warrant such procedure. When our senators and representa tives aro thus mado tho point of at tack by thoso who seem to havo cer tain axes to grind, politically, it be comes an assault upon tho prldo and dignity of tho great stato of Oregon, thai tho pcoplo should, resent, regard less of partyv "Wo boilovo tho Indictment -of Moody Is traceable to political machi nation, Just as tho futile effort to cast asporsions upon Senators Mitchell and Fulton and Representatives Hermann and Williamson are actuated by the samo desire to mako political capital. 'These things should not bo toler ated." o TIME TO STRIKE FOR A NEW LAND POLICY. Tho Orogon delegation aro thowlng signs that tho ttmo has como to strike for a now land policy. Tho ttmo has como to strike hard for a restoration of tho public lands to the common people Tho time has como to Btriko for a rostoratlon of thd Abo Lincoln land policy of homestoads for home-makers only. TJio time has como to sweep away all tho logal machinations called state laws and acts of congress to transfer largo bodlos of lands to speculators ami syndicates. Theso frauds havo probably boon carried farthest and most boldly In Oregon, to tho groat detriment of tho Rottlomcnt and dovelopment of tho state. Tho fraud of land-grabbers and Eastern corporations owning blocks of hundreds of thousands of acres of our finest tlmbor means slavery to tho coming generation. Wo aro In receipt of a copy of Max well's Talisman, published at 1707 Flnhor building, Chicago, that has a program that wo very much admlro. Wo do not know what Is back of It, but tho whole paper reads square, and contains so much good sense, that wo copy It antlre: 1. That not anothor aero of tho pub lic land shall over bo granted to uiy stato or territory for nny purposo whatsoovor, or to any other than an actual sottlor, who has built his homo on tho land, nnd lived on It for five yonrs. 2. That the national government shnll build tho Irrigation works neces sary to bring water within roach of sottlers on public lands, tho coat of Biich wovks to bo repaid to tho govorn mont by such settlors In annual In stallments without Intorost. .1. That tho tlmbor and stone not, dosort land act nnd tho commutation clnuso of the homostead act shall bo ronealcd, and that all land scrip nnd stato land grants shnll bo located within a fixed limited period, or be come void. i. That the nntlonal government, as a part of Its policy of Internal Im provements, shall build tho great ros orvolrs nocoseary to save for beneficial us J tho flood waters that now run to waste In the arid region, and shall preserve the forests and reforest de- uued area ue source of wnter sup-Ply- S. That it shall be made the law of every state, both by constitutional on noimunt and ihu adjudications of tho courts, that benellolal use shall be the basie, the measure and the limit f all rights to water, aud that the right to th ue of water for Irrigation shall be appurtenant to the laud to be Irrl gated, so that the ownership of the Innd and the water shall be united. 6. That each of the staten shall on net a state homestead tew for the set tlements of the lands of the state, and that stato lands shall Ue sold only to actunl settlers under suoh law, and that nil leasee of state lands shall bo subject to homestead settlement there under. 7. That farm training schools shall be establishes by county, municipal, state and national governments, where every man or boy who wants tho knowledge can loam how to till the soil and get hlo living straight from the ground, and whero boys would ba taught that their first aim la life should ba to sot a home of tholr own on the land, ft. That rural homo-making thai) be eawtrragad by tho exotnpUoa (rota tatalon of all Improvements upon bvory rural homestead of not more IharV twenty acres, which tho owner tills for a livelihood' and also of all per sonal property used in connection therewith and not cxcoedlng in value ?G00O. . 9. That land shall be subdivided in to small holdings In the ( hands of those who will want to till It for a live lihood, so that labor may find occupa tion In the creation of rural homes, which will be porpetual safeguards against tho political ovlls and social discontent resulting from the over growth of cIUcb and tho sufferings of unemployed wage-earnors. RECOGNIZE THE SUBURBS. Tho Salem Republican city central committee does right In 'asking the Republicans of the now wards to meet with them and get representation on the city committee of that party. Tho recognition of tho threo now waids as integral parts of Creator Sa lem Is a step in the right direction for the harmony and unification of the in terests of tho entire city government. Tho Republican city committee has alsr taken a step in the right direction In calling tholr meeting openly and puhllcly through tho newspapors, and abnnddning all close corporation meth ods of tho past. Municipal government Is a matter Mint concerns all tho people, and It cannot bo conducted too openly, or too much in tho broad light of publicity. Tho. recognition and dovelopment of tho suburbs means tho growth and do volopmont of tho whole city. Thoro Is no inconsistency in tho two working hand In hand for tho progress of the whole community. Lot all tho political parties and managors get It through their heada that tho suburbs aro not to be treatod on tho Missouri plan. THE RAIN8 HAVE COME. The autumnal equinox is howling, tho loaves nro flying, and rains de scending. The potato crop Is mostly harvested, the foddor Is In tho barn, and thoro are sheds for tho cattle. Tho family barrol of kraut Is In the collar and the Thanksgiving pumpkins nro in the barn. This Is nature's sooson of rost and recuperation. Tho Holds aro gottlng ready for winter plowing. Tho wlso farmer, who has still un sold crops on hand, is studying tho pa pers closely, and keeping tab on the markot every day. Tho head of tho family lookoth closely after tho contents of tho wood- box, that tho good wlfo may not 'oso hor cheerful disposition. Tho children hlko off to school for tho making of futuro presidents and stenographers, who can spell llko n houso aflro And tho blossed rains descond and wo know that there Is a bow of prom ise back of it all, that there will bo good crops noxt year. Criminal Insects. In Franco tho polloxora, a tluy In sect with luxurious tastos. cost tho vineyard owrors $G60,000,000 a fow years ago, that being tho valuo of tho royal feast thoy had enjoyed. Perhaps, however, tho worst and most dreadod criminal of them all Is tho locust. Ho gathers In swarms not of thousands but of millions, and wnero tho hordos go darknoss gathers over the land, for the light of day is shut out by thorn. When thoy havo laid a district under contribution not a blade of vegotatlon romnlns upon It Comfort, howovor, may be obtained In tho fact that tho criminal locust hlmsolf Is fried and roasted In some oountrloe, nnd, no doubt, many a peasant who has suffered from a lo cust visit enjoys those meals with an enhanced gusto. The oxtont, however, of tho looust plaguo may bo seen by tho fact that In Cyprus peasants are paid $20(1 for every ton of locust eggs they destroy. In some years as many as sixty tons ar destroyed, which moans that come 030,000,000 of locusts have been ch.nt ed out of tholr chance of exlstenoo. Hut still they come, aud recently the locust swarms were as active us over. Anothor criminal insect U the c-oph-ldae. or stem sawlly. The females of this close of Inieot first bores her way Into the stems or young wheat, ami thero deposits her eggs. Tho larva, finding itself In pleasant sun rounding, very seo quickens into life and to gorge. Itself. Of course, that means that this Btem of wheat Is ruined. In sunny Japan, a few years back, the stem sawfly ruined crops to the value of $75,600.000. Stray Stories Boss Goose Hunter. Hud Kompp holds the championship so far this season for killing geese. Monday, on his father's place, a fow miles west of Eugene, ho killed 16 geese In ono band In five shots. Ho killed 26 during the day In 16 shots.

CMMMMMfttM8CM9N LfAimMiT v bAvci VIJ HAL; A-MIJj a8eQiBaae9w Pattl has started on her twenty- first annual farewell tour. It is forty four years slnco she first sang In Now York, and she can't sing any better now than bIic could then. Aftor all Pattl's favorite ballad seems to be, "Say au Ilovolr, but Not Good-bye." 'it would bo worth a pretty sum to know Just whnt tho President thinks of Hanna's showing In Ohio. New York Demoorntto and pluto cratic politicians aro strongly urging tho name of Grover Cleveland as the Democratic presidential nominee. "Tho Btuffod prophet from Buzzard's Bay" would not make a catchy slogan-. Philadelphia, according to tho latost olectlon returns, has a good, working Republican majority. Oldest Methodist Minister. Streator, 111., Nov. 5. Tho Rev. By ron Aldon, of this place, who celo- bratod his 97th birthday todny, Is tho oldest Methodist minister In the world, being eight years older than tho Rov. Joseph Ayrcs, of Sidney, O., who has been called tho "oldest Methodist min ister." Tho Rov. Mr. Aldon Ib still a forcible pulpit preacher, and fills nppolntmonts occasionally, He spoko at tho Motho dlat conforonco hold at Streator a year ago. when his eloquence and force nnd his firm footsteps wero much com mented on. Ho was born nt Hlnosburg, Vt., on November 5, 190C. Ho preached in New York conforonces a numbor of years boforo coming to Illinois. In this stato his first assignment was at Woodstock, whero ho remained 10 years, going later to Gardner and Ver ona. Tho latter was his last regular appointment, and expired 15 years ngo. Thoro aro curious coincidents in tho enreor of Rev, Mr. Aldon and tho Rev. Mr. Ayrcs, the two oldest Methodist ministers. Both woro born In Ver mont, each ontered on his first reg ular assignment la Now York in 1830, nnd oach is spending his last years with his daughter. ' , Sleeping Car Blankets. Washington Star. It Is not exactly reassuring to be told that the sleeping car authorities, out of a kindly consideration for the health of tho passongors, havo tho blankets used In theso cars washed "at loast once evory six months." A blanket, as was pointed out at tho yoaterday's mooting of tho American Public Health association, in annual session In this city, Is ono of tho very choicest modlumn for tho transmission of dlsoaso. It collects and holds dust and fostars dormant bacterial llfo admirably Tho sleoplng cars aro froquentod by "all Borts and con ditions of mon." No lino Is drawn by the mnnagomont against tho tick. They aro taken In as choorfully as the woll. The soml-slck, if persons suffering from tuberculosis In Ite earlier stages may bo bo called, aro carled, of course, without question. In conaequonco of the extremely bad ventilation of tho cars, ospeolally tho 8lJopor8, thore Is a grave porll of tho sproad of many diseases. It was yes torday stated that offorts were bolng mndo by tho railroad managors to so curo means of bettor vontllatlon and otherwise Improving the sanitary con dition of the cars under tholr control. This Is gratifying as far as it goes, but meanwhllo tho traveling public would bo most thankful for an assuranco that th sleeping car blankets are washed a llttlo oftener than twlco a yoar. Tests of Flying Machine. Washington. D. C Nov 5. Consid erable public mtorost la manifested In today's meeting of Iho array board of fortifications and ordnance, of whloh Genoral Gillespie Is president, as It Is expected that a report will bo submit ted by Professor Langley on the recent experiments with his flying machine near Wldawator. Vo, A roport on tho sanio subject Is also expected from Major M. M. Macomb, artillery corps, who made observations of the tost of tha machine, by direction of the board. The board's Interest In the experi ment Is due to the fact that It mado an allotment of $10,000 to dofray the cost of the experiments. It Is understood that Profeaaor Langloy will ask for a further appropriation, with a view to making another teat of his Invention Wants Sunday Law. Tumor. Nov. 5, 1903. Ed.
