People Pay the Freight

It is rare Indeed that one hears
complaint concerning the freight
charges Oh commodities other than
the product of the soil. We find
fault with the charges on straw
berries; we turn RID in the face when
kicking against the rates on water
melons, but We are dumb as oysters
about the exorbitant cost Of trans
porting meats, groceries, hardware
and dry goods. Toe reason for our
silence is apparent.
The merchant adds freight charges,
no matter h"w high, to the cost of
his goods. The customer pays the
freight when he make a purchase
1t is a matter of Indifference to the
merchants, and hence the question
! of equitable freight rates is one tina,
they do not deem worthy of serious
consideration. The customer pays
the bill.
1t is is because Of their exemption
from freight charges that merchant.

IAN UNORGANIZED THIRST"

The old line Southern democrats
are democrats only in name. If prog
ress had to wait for them it would
wait forever. They are democrats on
the race issue, largely. They sup
ported slavery and thew are still
slave holders in spirit. The demo-
cratic party can hope for noshing
from them, except that their rever-
ence for Regularity will lead them
to support the measures to which 1t
is committed. The unpalatable truth
about the old Southern politicians
is that they are nothing but an un-
organised thirst for office.-Jerry

SHOWED UNDER by DEMOCRATS.

If il had not been for the secret
opposition of tho gold Democrats in
the last campaign Bryan would now
be President. There is no one ia
miliar with the facts who will deny
tits, but it has been the policy of
this class of so-called Democrats to
try to cover this treachcry up as
much as possible in order to get a
better hold upon the machinery of
the party. And it is this attempt to
cover up their stealth which gives
the merit of frapkness to the fol-
lowing short communication to the
Richmond Times, gold Democratic
paper.
Though the writer's candor would
have been still more commendable
if he had fathered the communica-
ton by signing his own name.
SIR:-I would like to ask through
your columns if William j. Bryan
has the success Of his party at heart,
as the late jaime G.. Blaine had the
success of the Republican party at
heart 2 Who will deny that Blaine
could have bad the nomination the
second time? Yet, what did he say9
mo, you Republicans fooled me
once and you won't fool me again.
Nominate a new man that all Re-
publicans can support, and | will
show Cleveland that ne will take a
back seat"
And did not Benjamin Harrison
make him take back seat in 1882
Now, if William j. Bryan desires
the success of his party why don I
he do like Blaine and say: mo, the
Democratic party showed nue. and
Tree silver under in 1896 to the tune
of nearly COO, 900 votes after one of
tie greatest campaigns ever made
by any candidate
But no, he seems bent on carrying
the party to defeat again, as he
will certainly do should he be the
nominee, and on the silver platform.
A VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT.
Notice that he does not accuse the
Republican party with defeating
Bryan, but states what is we'll known
that the ir fuence in the Democratic
party, to which the writer no. doub,
contributed, "snowed him under tc

An instance of the discrimination
Of railroads was seen in the recent
effort of the Governor of Nebraska
on behalf of the people of Nebraska,
to secure rate for transporting the
Nebraska regiment, stationed at
San Francisco, from San Francisco
to Nebraska The rate for soldiers
from San Francisco to the Missouri
river prior to May, was 1925 90 per
man. In the case of the Nebraska
regiment, the railroads demanded
$37 so per man, second class; while
to the Minnesota troops they gave q
rate of $50 3O-$7 so less, though the
troops had to travel $50 miles fur
Their. The only way to provide
against railroad discrimination is
for the government to own the roads.

preparation Devoted to
Premiums.

w. II. Wehrung, of Hillsboro, presi
dent of the state board of agriculture
and G. ID. Gabrielson, of Salem. secre.
tary of the board were in Portland this
week arranging prelininaries for the
state fair which is to be held at Salem
September 1922 They are preparing
to pay particular attention to an ex-
hibit of grains, fruit and grasses, and
confidently expect a hattering display.
The state has been divided into four
districts, for the purpose of stimulating
rivalry among the producers, and to
render classification of the exhibits less
difficult. The districts will be composed
as follows:
First-Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook,
Tamhill, Polk, Benton and Lincoln
counties.
Second-Multnomah, Clackamas, Ma
rion, Linn and Lane.
Third-Douglas, Josephine, Jackson,
Coos, Curry, Klamath and Lake.
hpui VII W dSOps Nlllldul, NucIllan,
Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Walowa,
Baker, Malheur, Crook, Grant, Harney
and Wheeler.
Reports from the different districts i'm
dictate that fine collection of fruits
will be placed on exhibition, in spite of
the shortness of the crop, and Messrs.
Wehrung and Gabrielson feel assured
that those in attendance at the state
fair of 1899 will be agreeably surprised
at the display of Oregon products.
The dairy exhibit is going to receive
a good deal of attention at the hands of
the promoters of the fair. The butter
and cheese exhibit from all portions
of the state will be large and cold
storage plant will be in operation, to
keep the exhibits in good condition.
Poultry and eggs will also be accorded
goodly space and improvements on
these lines will be stimulated i'm con-
sequence. That Oregon is a good dairy
and poultry state is going to be proven
ut Salem this fall, and all encourage
ment will be given for competition ON
these hitherto neglected lines.
The state appropriation OF 5000 year
is to be devoted TO premiums for ex-
hibitors, and no pains will be spared to
make the fair the most successful one
ever held in the state. The officials are
all determined that former abuses shall
be discarded in order that this fair may
be conspicuous its new departure and a
kindly feeling toward future state fair,
generated in every district.
The very best of feeling exists be-
tween the prompters of the state fail
and those of the Portland exposition
these gentlemen say, and many of tn,
Salem exhibits will be taken care o
and sent to the exposition, which OPEN
one week after the state fair closes
Some of the very best OF the exhibit
will be forwarded to the Paris exposition
which takes place in 1900.
