The session Of the Northwest Fruit
Growers Association, which has Just
closed. was in all respects most inter-
esting and encouraging. The papers
read were full Of practical facts reiat-
ing to this great special industry. and
the interchange Of views and expe-
riences is In itself valuable education.
1t is in such meetings as this that we
see at his best a representative of the
men who are doing the work OF the
world. Some man makes a stump
speech at public hall In one Of our
cities. spoutlng words about whatever
promises to bring him most notoriety,
and people talk about him. But there
IL more sound sense, more OF the gospel
OF honest work. more intelligence and
information. ana in general more OF the
qualities that underlie good citizenship
in these Industrial reunions than most
people are ever aware Of. They are Of in
estimable value to the occupation which
they represent. and they have also
their public aspect as measure Of the
great mass Of quiet work and helpful
living in the country.

1t may seem tedious to recapitulate
facts 20 well known to the great ma
jority OF our readers. but II h only by
constant iteration OF these things that
an impression can be made upon the
dense wall OF ofYicial ignorance. Today
the great Port Orchard naval dry dock
Il practically valueless to the govern

millions. on recommendation Of depart
ment ofYicials. are being expended in
construction OF new docks, at locations
inconvenient and inaccessible to the
battleships ana heavy armored cruisers
OF the navy. Objection after objection.
based upon ignorance or prejudice, has
been urged to the proper utilization
OF the great Puget sound dock. Each
OF those objections has in turn been
taken up and shown to be based upon
lack of knowledge or transformation,
The latest OF these objections. ana in
some respects the most astounding, is
that Of alleged hyperborean location

The rejection by the house Of a propo-
sition to have part Of the census print
ing done by private contract was proper
and wise action. The government has a
department of printing and engraving.
Even the work Of preparing postage
stamps, formerly done outside by pri-
vate contractors. Is now performed
there. There is no reason why the
strictly governmental function Of pub
fishing the census reports should be
transferred to other hands. Vexatious
questions arise Immediately, and there
10 no necessity Of deciding them. The
government printer should do the gov
ernment's printing and that is all there
is to be said about 1t.
