SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN'S RETURN.
Senator Chamberlain is coming back to Oregon in a
few days, it having been decided to adjourn congress by
the end of the present week. Of course the newspapers
which ridiculed the senator for announcing that he would
stock to his post until all important pending matters, and
especially matters concerning the Northwest, were out
of the way, are now attacking him for leaving a few days
ahead of the final adjournment. The fact is that Senator
Chamberlain stuck to his post until the rivers and har
bors bill was passed over the opposition of the Oregonian
and Oregon secured more than one-tenth of the total
amount carried by the bill, and that he is now with an
anti-administration man, who has also gone home, and
his vote will count to sustain the president just the same
in any matter which may come up in the closing days of
the session, if something develops worthy of a roll call
and division of the senate. It was the senator's duty to
come home at the earliest possible moment and tell the
voters of Oregon the truth about the present sassion or
congress and the work he has been endeavoring to do foi
them, before the people pass a verdict at the polls upon
the record he has made. Congressman Hawley, too,
should hurry home and render his accounting to his con
stituents of the first district, that they may judge from
bis own utterances whether his trust has been faithfully
discharged. He should be given the same consideration
in this respect that Senator Chamberlain is accorded.
The voters of Oregon should give their national repre
sentatives a hearing and not form hasty conclusions based
on the biased reports of their work which comes to the
public through a prejudiced and partisan press.
! "WHEN YOU'RE OUT, YOU'RE OUT."
: Say what you will about the secretary of the navy,
there is something definite and downright about the man
and his methods that is bound to be accorded admiration,
whether or no his views are accepted in their entirety as
Cl There's that matter of the proposed -reinstatement by
congress of the officers who were retired from the navy
by the "plucking board." Mr. Daniels does not believe in
this. He doesn't consider that this would be according the
board proper treatment, and he says so, quietly, but with
characteristic emphasis. "The board acted strictly in ac
cordance with law," says the secretary; "at least there is
nothing to show that it did not, and its proceedings hav
ing been regular, congress should not overrule the board
and abrogate its findings." Regarding the proposition
for the reinstatement of five captains who were retired,
Mr. Daniels said, "No, sir; they're out," and he intimated
that, being out, they might stay out.
It was Secretary Daniels who also brought about the
abolition of imprisonment for desertion from the navy.
rr Ancn'f wont in efflu in thi navv." said the sec-
retary, "the navy doesn't want him. Let huu be put out
of the navy with a black mark against him that will keep
him out." And that's the principle he endeavors to ob
serve in the management of his department. "Willing
workers are the only workers," says he, and it will have
to be admitted bo's just about right.
Pope Pius X. has passed away since war was declared
in Europe, and King Charles of Rumania and the pope's
necretary, Cardinal Ferrata, died Saturday. While noth
ing is known as to its correctness, there is a fooling that
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria is dead. This ru
mor, fooling or whatever it is, was caused by the fact that
the emperor a month ago was said to be very sick, and
from that time no mention has been made of him. Only
once has there boon anything like a reference to him, and
that was a statement that the "emperor" had assented to
something, and the runlie Francis Joseph was not mentioned.

Yesterday the early editions of the' Portland Journal 1
and Telegram, which reach here at 4::0 p. m., failed to'
carry a full report of the great world series ball game,
leaving the score a tie at the end of the tenth inning. The
Capital Journal, issued here at 3:130, eave everv tlav of:
the game, the official box score and summary of the com-
plete game. This is only another of the many instances
which shows that Salem people get but one complete aft
ernoon paper, and that is the one published at home. It I
gives the news hot from the wire or fresh from the streets 1
up to the time of going to press, and no rival in the field
ever approaches it in the completeness of its news service.!
Two thousand subscribers in the city of Salem alone will i
certify to these facts, and more of them are joining the big!
ramily or readers every day.
It is useless to speculate as to the probable outcome of
the European war. All the parties seem determined to
make it a "fight to a finish," and what that finish will be
no one can say. It is also useless to discuss the merits of
the matter or to try just now to lay the blame anywhere,
for the simple reason that the evidence has not all been
presented. It will be for the historian to decide when the
passions have cooled and all sides have been heard. Until
it is over, all Americans can do is to alleviate, so far as
possible, the hardships and suffering due to the war, and
this regardless of nationalities.

If Queen Isabella had not soaked her jewelry and
staked Christopher 422 years ago, Philadelphia would not
have tackled Boston yesterday nor would the fans have
gone up in the air over a 12-inning game. Also the price
of hops would not have troubled the residents of the Wil
lamette valley, nor would they have been haranguing the
atmosphere over the relative merits of wet and dry coun
tries. If hris. could have seen how much worry he was
going to cause, the chances are he would have refused to
discover the old country.
Four thousand persons stood in line at Boston two
hours before the opening of the gates at the ball ground.
Not even an advertisement of free beans would have
drawn a larger crowd. Ticket scalpers made a great
cleanup, $2.00 tickets being sold as high as $:0.00, and
$:i.00 seats for $50.00.
Now Sulzer proposes to run for governor of New
York on an independent ticket. Sulzer is bound to keep
on running. If he fails as an independent, he can be de
pended on to run on a "peace" ticket, or even on a piece
of a ticket.
Isn't it rather remarkable that the "foreigners" who
could spot an American at sight when he was a legitimate
subject for individual plunder, cannot now tell him from
an Englishman. This, in England, may be put in the list
of "war atrocities."
The Oregonian and Eugene Guard are trying to prove
that Governor West said that R. A. Booth got his money
honestly. Well, what if they do prove it haven't the
same papers been asserting all through the campaign that
the governor is an awful prevaricator?
The republicans in congress after fighting the Clayton
anti-trust bill bitterly, voted for it when it came to a show
down because they knew their constituents wanted it.
The bill passed by a vote of 241 to 54.

To the Editor: One needs to rend
anly n few lines of the meumtre Initiut-'
ed by AV. P. George, of Nnlera, to nbol
ish the office of state engineer and
make it appointive by the State Land
Board instead of elective as it is nt
preient, to lee that it is n step back
ward.
Not long ago the " Youths' rompan- I
inn " 1, ,,.. t. ! :.,. . ' ... I
ptirtiaan attitude, commented editorial
ly on the tendency of the government
to get nearer the people, n.su mating
that it .indicated a high state of civil
ization onrt that as nations became
more intelligent and progressive the
masses of the people would govern more
directly, also stating that only u few
yenrs ago nearly all LI. W. senators were
elected by their state legislatures. Now
we elect our V. K senators by popular
vote. The Ocorge measure is n direct
step in the opposite direction and pro
poses To raue rrom tne citurns of Ore
gon their elective power und substitute
for it the appointive power of the State
I. nnd Board.
With due respect for the Stnte Laud
Board, the father of this mensure cer
tainly "had his nerve with him" to
put such a proposition to the voters of
the stute. The nuthnr evidently has
more respect for the Htnte Land Hoard
than nil the voters of the state.
If I understand the mensure, they
propose to remove from the board the
only member who possesses any techni
cal training, namely, the state engineer.
With all the undeveloped resources of
our state mid the almost unlimited wa
ter power, we need more than ever an
engineer at the hcitd of the depart
ment.
The citizens nre getting tired of this
appointive business. The State Board
has too miioy big plums" to give
awny. While 1 think the Stnte Board
havo used their appointive power hon
estly and conscientiously, future State
Hoards may not he so honest.
It gives too much power to three
men. the nupointive svstem is wrong
unless made under civil service rule.
The nppointive system is wrong in fed
eral as well as in state appointments.
Often we see a man get a postoffice
nppointment with a sulurr of .I000.
The man appointed often is incompet
ent, he secures a deputy who is com
petent and qualified, nnd he receives
ISUU, ,1ust one-hnir what the "mutt"
gets that is ,iust a vote-getter only.
Why not eliminate the "mutt!"

A good ninny of the tanners of Mar

boo iters in Snliiiu lo burden the tax
payers of this eounty with another sal

"rnrm Adviser."
There is no urgent need for the ser
vices of Mr, Chapiii among the far
mers' ut this time. We are now grow

make two blndes of grass grow where
one has grown before when the one

able is not quite cleur to farmers.
iticsc city agriculturists evidently
reason thnt the more foodstuffs they
can induce the farmers to dump upon
the lenrkets the lower will be the price
to the citv consumer. In this their ren-
sonini' is faulty. The middleman would
be tiie gainer. They would pay the
tariuer the minimum price lor his prod
ucts us they would have to be sold iu a
highly competitive market and, on the
oth'V baud, sell to the consumers for
all rhu traffic will b"ir.
The inevitable result would be a
slow decadence of the funning roin
iliunilies with an increaiiitg movement
of 'he rural population into the cities.

iition for su many yours In about all

the bunks, the wholesalers and the re

tender years of childhood would not be

A little less theoretical funning nml

laws inherent in the iievelopinent ot
agriculture is what is needed. iVithout
