WHEAT. ABROAD AND AT HOME

There Ia doing to be Turn In the Mar
ket for the Better, but When?
The consul general OF the United
States at st. Petersburg sends to the
state department a report on wheat,
which furnishes some ground OF encour-
agement for the wheat growers O! the
United States. He writes that after
extensive conferences with the Russian
ministry Of agricul ,ure he is led to
donbt whether there will be any in
crease whatever in the production OF
wheat in Russia for several years. The
prices which the peasants receive are
discouraglDg; large areas of the soil are
exhausted by overwork, and the Russian
practice OF moitgaging the crop to middle
men causes great loss to the grower.
Last year the Russian wheat crop, in
Guiding Poland and Caucasus, vas 46O.-
600, 900 bushels. 1t is noted that in India
during the past three years the wheat
crop has shown no importSut increase.
But the Argentine Republic is developing
large capacity. and probably will not
reach its maximum production.
There is going to be turn in the wheat
market, but when 1t will come no one can
predict with confidence, eays the Oregon
ian. The product of our own country ia
more likely to decline for time than to
increase. The area of our lands avsila-
BILE for wheat under natural conditions
cannot now be much extended, and irri.
gat.on OF arid lands, to any great extent.
is problem OF the somewhat distant
future. Presently the consumption
Of the world will begin to overtake
the extraordinary production caused by
railway extension in 80 many countries.
and railway exten sion will not be re-
newed for long time because of the I'M
fortunate results of 80 many OF the re-
cent undertakings of this character.
Natural forces therefore will tend 'gradu-
ally to restore the old conditions and the
old prices. In any event, we
must continue to raise wheat, for there
Is little else in many parts of our country
to do. But We want varied industry at
home SO as to make large market for
home consumption and have as little de-
pendence on the foreign market as DOS
sible. As the Boston Commercial Bulle-
tin puts it, What the Western farmer
should do is to vote and act steadily in
support OF the manufacturing inter
ests, to the end that full en-
ployment aud good wages may secure
him a market for his products" The
party whose policy promotes this result
is the party that will command the future
in the United States. That policy.
maintained, does not help any one class
at the expense OF another, but through
,eeipIocatioD, is for the protection and
benefit OF oil.

other consideration of this question, aye,
eschewing for amoment the consideration
OF contracts entered into by organized
workers and their employers, and even
putting aside the excellent reasons given
in the statement already issued, We feel
confideat it would have been the greatest
mistake, the most palpable wrong ever
inflicted Oh Inc workers of our country to
have done other than as the conference

support to the men on strike, while ad

DEBS In TEKRE HAUTE.
He Ia Opposed to Strikes and VIII Never
Engage in Another.

Engage In Another.
Packed like sardnes were the people
who listened 10 Debs 10 the opera house
at Te,re Haute Sunday night. Debs
said that he had always been in favor of
arbitration and opposed TO strikes until
tue gauntlet was thrown down and an
effort made to crush organized labor !;
that there was time when not to strike
that this was that time. He made quite
a lengthy address and was vociferously
applauded. His statement was:
Il want to say that | did everything
in my power TO prevent the Pullman
strike"
He declared he had no voice in order
ing the Pullman strike, and said he was
uualterably opposed to strikes. He quoted
from Chicago paper of May, 1893, which
showed, he said, that the general man.
ayers OF the roads had at that time go
organized them selves that sympathetic
strikes on every road in Chicago would
be forced. Debs entered largely into the
political features of the strike and de-
clared himself a populst. Throughout
Debs' speech was temperate in tone and
clear in diction. His remarks were so
stirring as to frequently cause outbursts
of applause from the audience. The labor
leader did not admit defeat, but on the
contrary, declared that the war against
PullmaH would be carried to The bitter
end. lie said further that SO far as he
Was concerned this would be the last
strike in which he should engage, and
that hereafter he would fight out the
battle along political lines, appealing to
he ballot or restitution OF the laborers'
rights.

A HOWL FROM ROME

Courts.
4 very Sensational case has lately been
before the Roman courts. Four peraons
have been sentenced to one years im.
prisonment each for alleged swindling
These persons, who are Frenchuen,
have gathered together large amount OF
alleged evidence 10 prove that Pope Leo
XIII is not the presen. occupant OF the
pontihcnl chair, but is a prisoner IN
vaults beneath the vatican, the os,ensi-
BILE pope being an impostor, who has
been exalted 20 power for the purpose Of
destroying the Catholic church. The
convicted persons had obtained money
from several people to he used as brides
with the pope's jailer. The Echo of Der

The most wonderful thing about the
whole matter is that the Countess of Ar
maud, the Marquis Martinuzzi, the Duke
Of BeTstilli FosColo, and Baron Tenacetii
continue to maintain their assertion that
the pope who reigns at the vatican is
spurious, They arc led to this belief be
cause they were unable to obtain au audi
ence with his holiness. They believe
that the iaet Archduke Johann Salvador
ia the pope's jailer. 1t is quite certain
that the accused persons endeavored to
win the emperor of Austria and the king
of Italy 20 their attempt to release the
supposed prisoner and that they spent
large fortunes in the realization of their
object The two Frenchmen, who con-
tributed 20 0G0 francs, Abee Nae and
Solicitor Genard also continue to believe
the story.
1t is no. esay to conceive Of anything
much more sensational than this. That
the story bias only reached this country
by the slow process of the mails is also
somewhat curious.

tie Was so Poor Once That He had to be
fed by His Neighbors.
Bert Hall in the Chicago Times.
George Pullman is no exception TO the
many millionaires who have sprung into
existence within the last twenty-five or
thirty years in America. He has taken
advantage OF the opportunities which the
laws and the rapid development OF this
country have thrown in his way, and by
close apple ton TO business and by al
ways seeing to it that each man EN-.
ployed by him was paying good profit
With his pocket has accumulated his
vast fortune. Thirty years ago he was
resident of Grand Rapids and was
among lite most poverty-stricken in
habitants. He was never kept by the
town, but there are men living in Lyon
street in the city today near the cite OF
Pnllinan's former house who tell OF hav-
ing carried clothing and food to him and
mis- family. He Was carpenter and
joiner, as they were termed in those early
times, but there were not more than
5000 persons in the city, and work WAS
not abundant in his line. His extreme
poverty extended over a period OF but
one winter. The next spring he rented a
small one-story frame building in Pearl
street, near the present center of the
city, and began making sash and. blinds
aud taking 0 Id jobs at carpenter work.
He was able TO make living and saved
q little money. He built house on
what is known as the hill district few
years later. Many of the men who
worked on that house have never re-
ceived their pay. Mr.. Pullman did
much OF the carpenter work himself and
Adrian Johnson, who still reeides
in this city, did the mason work. Mr..
Johnson was able to collect Tor all his
work but the pastering. Mr.. Pullman
pleaded that he was hard up and asked
for time. Mr.. Johnson gave him time
in which to pay, but he claims to have
never received one dollar. Pullman left
Grand Rapids and organized the Pull
man Car Company Mr.. johnson sent
his bill to Mr.. Pullman in Chicago, but
received no reply. The claim hae
been outlawed many years, but Mr. John
son believes if Pullman has treated those
who work for hun in the great car manu-
factory in Pullman as he did him they
have Just cause for striking. George
W. Soues, a neighbor of Pullman, when
he lived here, says he often walked down
Lyon street hill with Pullman to his
work. They were just common carpen-
ters and carried their dinner pals on
their arms the same as other laborine
men. Mr.. Sones says that all of Mr..
Pullman's financial success is due to his
wife. He claims Mrs. Pullman first stud

arrangement of sleeping cara, and Mr..

What u Mississippi Paper and wash
ington Paper Have to Say of Cieve-
land.
The following extract is from the Nat
chez Democrat, a paper which has been
disposed at times to crticse the presi-
dent unfavorably:
AS time progresses and the objects and
purposes of Mr.. Cleveland become better
known, we find revolution taking place
in the minds of those who have been
antagonizing him. Nowhere is this
more observable than 10 Mississippi, and
we venture the prediction that in 12
months from today, despite the existing
opposition, there will then he none who
will say aught against the president, bat
on the other hand, the sentiment will be
that Mr.. Cleveland, was wiser than we,
and they will give him credit for politi-
cal sagacity and foresight that will place
him high up in the list of statesmen of
our great county.
This paragraph, Gays the Seattle Tele-
graph, was written before the publica-
ton OF Mr.. Clsvaland's letter to MIR
Wilson and we shall be SUI pr ieed to learn
that the Democrat does nor find in that
paper reason 10 repeat ;he views which
it has so strongly expressed. Nr, Cleve-
land has occupied position nf unusual
difficulty. He has not met every emer-
geney in manner which has com
msnded iteelf to his whole party much
less to the whole country, but il is given
to no man to be always go nearly right
that his conduct calls invariably for uni
versal commentator. Nevertheless it is
true that Mr.. Cleveland has on several
occasions received not ouiy the warm
approval of the majority of his political
friends, but the hearty endorsement Of
his political opponents even before the
recent opportunities which he has i'm
proved in manner to call forth verdict
OF profound satisfaction from all parts Of
the nation.

VALUES FALLING.
And Necessarily Taxes Must Come Down
In Proportion.

III Ircportichs
San Francisco's assessment roll, just
completed, shows net decrease, says
the Portland Oregonian, OF s17,0l7 1928
in the total valuation of property as com
pared with last year. Nearly tho whole
decrease is in the valuation OF city lots.
The Improvements show slight increase,
but personal property falls off nearly
81 000, 900. At all the principal cities
and towns OH this coast there is de-
cline OF values. Or TO put the statement
correctly, real estate in our cities has
never actually been worth as much as it
has been rated at during some years
past. Valuations must nos recede to
actual values. With rents depressed az
they are, there must be q reduction OF
taxes. and this reduction OF taxes must
come only through reduction Of valua-
tons. For so long as valuations are
kept up so long will more money be
drawn from the people than is necessary
for strictly economical government; and
all money drawn from the people is in
variably spent in administration, what. /
ever party may be In power.

Won't Remove Them.

Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, the
man who delights to pardon all anarCh-
lists and murdercrs who are sent to his
state prison, ordered Grover Cleveland,
President Of the tnited States, to with
draw his minions, sometimes called
soldiers. from the state of Illinois.
This Grover Cleveland very properly
refused to do and politely informed
Governor Altgcld that the
Federal troops were sent to Chicago
in strict accordance with the constitu-
ton and the laws Of the United States
upon the demand of the postotlie de
partment that the obstruction of the
mails should be removed, and upon the
representation of the judicial officers of
the United States. That process Of the
federal courts could not he executed
through the ordinary means, and upon
abundant proof that conspiracics ex-
listed against commerce between the
states
10 meet these conditions were
clearly within the province OF federal
authority. The presence of federal
troops in the city of Chicago was
deemed not only proper but necessary
and there has been no intention of
thereby interfering with the plain duty
of the local authorities TO preserve the
praCe of the Citv'
