cereal by hand in a kitchen or whether
for the purpose he utilized the superflu-
GUS energy of a refractory mule in a
barn. He, however. objects to the
statement that Schumacher was the
originator of the health food in this
country, and regarding this point writes
as follows:
My father, who was born forty miles
south of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the
year 1893 and lived there until the year
1885, miller, made oat meal there for
twenty years, coming to America in the
year 1887 and locating in New York
state. In the year 1910 he put up the
first oatmeal mill built in the United
States. Its position was about seven
miles below Ogdensburg, and until 1874
continued to produce flour and oatmeal.

Let history be correct even in the in
dustry of oatmeal making! Germany
may claim the honor of producing beer.

ROWELL'S LATEST BLUNDER

The publishers of The Herald Will
bring action for heavy damages against
George P. Rowell & Co., publishers of
The American Newspaper Directory,
and the would-b censors of the circula-
ton of all newspapers in the United
States, as soon as the papers can be
made out and forwarded to New York.
The reason for the intended action lies
in palpable misrepresentation on the
part of the prospective defendants.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
publishers of The Herald have been
printing sworn statements of it's circu-
lation monthly for the past six months
and forwarding copies of same to the
for 1896 gives The Herald rating of
for 1896 give The Herald a rating of
nearly two thousand less than its actual
sworn circulation.
But this is nothing new for George
p. Rowell. nor is it the first complaint
from disgusted, ill-treated and misrep
resented publishers.
If the accuracy of this blunderer's lat
est directory. which does not direct in
the lines of facts by an overwhelming
majority, is as near the truth in regard
to the circulation of newspapers and
other data as it is in The Heralds case.
publishers. advertisers and others who
have been deluded into buying a copy
would better give desk room to a last
years almanac than to Rowell's worse
than useless imitation of an honest
newspaper directory.
Possibly if The Herald had submitted
to the filching process, having its treas
ury limb stretched to the tune of $1,000
for a page advertisement in Printers
Ink, recently. its circulation might have
been quoted correctly.

volve the country drifting straight up

which, more than any other, is produc-
ing foreign distrust against our invest

lively immediate settlement. Yet it can
not be said that congress has so far
shown either disposition or capacity to
deal with 1t in a safe and effective way;
on the contrary the senate is now plot

1t seems necessary to keep in view
the foregoing facts; fist, as showing
the necessity of making such nomina :
tions for congress as will secure for the
next house an important element of men
of standing and especially familiar with
these complex questions and who are
known to entertain sound views relat-
ing thereto; and, next, because it would
only invite discouraging disappointment
to calculate upon new congress putting
financial and currency affairs upon a
sound and well regulated basis within
a few short months. In the meantime.

The Evening Express has a system
of interpreting English which should be
copyrighted. BY the aid of this system
it is enabled to read what is not with
the same degree of facility that an or
dinarily endowed person would perceive
only what is. In criticisng an editorial
in The Herald of yesterday, expressing
satisfaction at the defeat of Representa-
tive Hermann, it states that The Her
aid tries to make it appear that he was
beaten because of his position on the
harbor question" To people who read
the editorial in question, in the old
fashioned way. it must have been plain
that The Herald did not try to make
1t appear" as the Express states. Salts
faction was expressed al Hermann's de-
feat because of his traitorous conduct
in the matter of the Los Angeles harbor
appropriation, ana there was not the
slightest suggestion of any thought that
his defeat could be traced to that con-
duct. The Herald is perfectly aware
of the fact that the Los Angeles harbor
controversy is of no more interest to
the people of Oregon that the Express
editorials are to President Cleveland.
The Express editor should attend one
OF those mnd-cure fellows and get his
mentality Strengthened out.

Delaware Is Stirred

The opponents of the single tax move
ment III Delaware must be in dire alarm
lest the crusade end in victory, if the
bitterness with which they are pursu-
ing the single tax advocates may b.
taken to indicate their fears. The last
outrage to which they have resorted was
to procure the arrest of William Horan
for advocating the single tax doctrine
a Dover, the capital OF the state. The
dispatches merely announce that Ho-
ran was arrested after he had begun his
speech. 1t was probably deemed un-
necessary to specify the charge or state
the ground upon which a sentence of
thirty days in jail was based. AS the op
ponents of the single tax have unlimit-
ed power at Dover the task of suiting
charge to the occasion was a mere mat
ter of detail. 1t is gratifying to note that
although this power is Democratic, ir
does not represent the Democracy of the
state, as is evidenced by the indigna-
ton which Democrats are expressing
over the outrage.
This is only one of many instances of
persecution with which the single tax
advocates of Delaware have been pur
sued, and the effect has been to
strengthen the cause immensely. In
view of the fact that a single tax vic
tory in Delaware. which has a larger
proportion of land owners than any
other state in the union. would be sig
naliy eloquent endorsement of single
tax principles, the fight there is exceed
ingly stubborn and bitter. The oppo-
nents of the doctrine are merely adVanc-
ing the cause when they seek to crush
it by unfair means. In trying to abridge
the right of free speech they are pro-
claiming their own unfitness for power
and inviting popular cooperation with
leaders whose disinterestedness is un-
challenged. san Francisco Examiner.

1T SHOULD BE AN OVATION

A project is on foot which is entitled
to the substantial assistance and warm
sympathy of every loyal citizen of Los
Angeles. The project is to accord Sem
ator White on his return to this city, af-
ter the adjournment of congress, pub
lie reception in token of the popular ap-
probation of the inestimable services
he has rendered al Washington in COM
batting the nefarious schemes of Coils
p. Huntington.
Senator White has served his consttu-
ents with ability and fidelity seldom
equaled. Like the fearless, incorrupt-
ible man that he is, he has faced and
mastered in the conflict one of the most
powerful and unscrupulous corporate
monopolies in the country. corporation
that has. with good reason, acquired the
reputation of being invincible in war;
fare and implacable in its enmities;
proof against it's seductions, superior
to its tactics and Indifferent to it's hos
tility. Southern Californias senator
fought the good fight of his people to an
end made proud with success.
If ever public servant was given
difficult task Senator White was IN the
leadership of the battle against the sell
fish, robbing designs of Huntington eft
al. In order that the ends of the latte
might be attained the well-nigh irresist-
ible entcements of great and easily ac-
quired wealth, the pressure of allied and
associated interests, the threats of fu-
ture antagonisms and the potency of
cunningly woven misrepresentation
We're unsparingly employed, and over all
Senator White triumphed. The contest
he waged will take it's place in con-
gressional annals as one of the most re-
markable of recent years, and it has
developed him to the public EYED as one
of the strongest men of his day.
In this time of selfish individuals,
of weak and purchasable public servants,
ready to acquiesce in the will of greedy
and constituencies monopolists, either
as towards or traitors, it is refreshing
and lends encouragement to the belief
that representative government is not
yet failure, to find. as in Senator White.
a man who boldly and without stint
champions the cause of his people and
champions it with such gratifying re-
suits. To such, exceeding honor is due
and it is to be hoped that the assembly
tomorrow will arrange a function which
will prove an ovation worthy of the
statesman to be honored and expressive
of the sense of gratitude which must
abide with the people of Los Angeles.

SOME CONUNDRUMS

In the following from the New York
Evening Post are some conundrums
which afford a large and ample chance
for explanation by the advocates of pro-
tectionism. 1t is apparent from the
facts developed that the manufacturers
abroad are needing protection from the
'pauper' products of this country. The
Post SAYS:
The futility of all attempts to make
tariff duties dependent upon the differ
ence in cost of production between this
country and abroad was very IOrCibly

to which we made reference yesterday
That paper showed, among other things.

Of evidence on this point, however, had
not been considered by the editor of the

manufacturers to export their products
and sell them in competition with those
or foreign producers The Engineering

eroping Philadelphian in the following
paragraph:
