That Plagued Scale!

That our fruit trees and fine shrubs
of all kinds are in danger of con plete
determination goes without saying. In
fact, there is no doubt of it, and thet
destruction is wrought by the eVer-in-
creasing San Jose scale. And yet our
people pay no heed to the matter-that
is, take the people as whole.
We are quite reliably informed that
there is a law on the statute books of
Oregon for the purpose of compelling
people to keep their trees and shrubs
healthy, and yet nothing is done save
by few. Ii avails one orchardist but
little to attempt to keep his orchard
free from San Jose scale if his neghbor
adjoining allows scale to multiply at
will. For years few fruit-growers in
the state have realized the deadly work
wrought by the San Jose scale and
have fought it to the best of their
ability, yet with little result, because
Others would allow it to multiply.
In the course of year this scale
mutiplies itself three million times
For years it did not seem to threBten
anything serious, but in time on basis
of such rapid propagation it gets to
going some,' and this is now coming
to be recognized in all its seriousness.
No matter how many laws we have on
the statutes for the regulation Of a
givek thing, public sentiment must
justify them or they are dead letters
So it has been in the past as regards
San Jose scale-it lacked sentiment
against. So long as mans orchard is
all right he SCOTS at the idea of deadly
pests, no matter what the condition OF
his next door neighbors trees. But let
his own orchard begin to fail and his
faith in the deadly effects of scale and
other things. begins to increase and he
becomes an earnest inquirer for etfec-
tive sprays and the like.
At present ieally every orchard from
the head of the Willamette valley clear
TO Portland is infected 10y this scale,
and from now on we shall find an
astonishing growth of sentiment favor.

A PROMISING STEP.

What seems most promising step
in the way Of settling the difficulties
between capital and labor has been
taken in England, where the conditions
have been for years exceedingly bad
1t has been strongly asserted that the
labor union influence was running the
British precedence In the markets of
the world; and that something radical
must be done to avoid the continual
strikes and lockouts. The new plan
is modelled upon an arrangement which
was made in 1898 by the employers
and employees in the engineering works
and which has been productive of very
| satisfactory results. Into the present
plan have entered the National FEEDER
alton OF Building Trades Employers,
| on one side. and on the other the
Amalgamated Society, the Associated
| Society, the General Union Of Carpen-
Masons and the London and Manches-
ter Order of Bricklayers-working
| mems organizations comprising about
1890 men employed in the building
trades of the Kingdom
BY this plan all England is divided
| into three "Centers"-Northern. Mid
| land and Southeastern, which are
again subdivided into local districts
When dispute arises between the en-
ployers and the employees 1t must be
| referred to the Local Cancellation
Board, which has seven days in which
to effect a settlement, or the matter
Will be referred to the Center" Con.
Citation Beard. This has also seven
days in which to effect an adjustment
II 1t fails the matter then goes to the
National Cancellation Board, which has
| another seven days in which to consid.
er the matter. making altogether q
days. during which there must be nc
stoppage Of work. II at the end OF 81
days no agreement has been reached
| then the parties are free to pursue
such courses as they may deem best
This plan will at least prevent the ar-
bitrary and disastrous action on both
sides by hot-headed or designing men
who may have their own interests f.
serve In precipitating trouble. 1t looks
as II 1t were as likely to be successful
as the engineering plan. II It does 1,
will be an enormous benefit to every.
body. II It does not, 1t will probably
reveal the defects, which can be rem
sdied In order to make another plan
which will be successful.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has administered a sharp lesson
to the railroads in the matter of pro-
tracing litigation. Mrs. G. H. Mathew
was injured while in a Wabash car at
Excelsior Springs, Mo-. in 1899, and
was awarded damages of $4,000 by the
court at that place, which was affirmed
by the Missouri Supreme Court. The
Wabash appealed to the Federal courts,
and the case went on up to the Supreme
Court, which affirms the judgment OF
the lower tribunals, terms the appeal
additional damages as a punishment.

The Canadians are making q vigor-

factories, but 1t is not thought that
they will be successful, because the
American manufacturers have got to
such a development that they can spe-
cialize to meet every demand as to
quality. lasts and individual prefer
ence. The Canadian manufacturers
will not be able to do this and in order
to have any considerable trade one
small establishment must make every
thing from ladies' fine shoes to cow
hide boots for the lumber region. The
American manufacturer, who has al
ready s0,000.000 customers, can readi-

manufacturer has only his 100000

An interesting decision has been
made by the Supreme Court of Indiana
as to when the relation of passengers
and carriers is severed. In the particu-
lar case before the court a passenger,
without any necessity therefor. went
into a depot waiting-room on reaching
his destination, and there engaged in
social conversation with some acquaint-
ances for 10 or Is minutes, after which
he left the depot and received injuries
on the premises The court decided
that he had severed his relations with
the railroad when he stopped to chat,
and consequently it was not liable for
any injuries that happened to him after

In its constant and persistent pa
tcrnalism the German Government has
now reached the barber shops and the
regulations recently put out are anus
ing for their comprehensiveness. They

Of light color without pockets. The
soap must be in the form of powder or
small tablets; the lather from razors
must be removed by means of paper;
pieces of cloth must be substituted for
sponges; alum and magnesia must be
used for powder; all the bowls and

The fractional disturbances in the
Republican Party in New York seem
to have resulted in a substantial vic
tory for Gov. Higgins, with whom
President Roosevelt has sided. The
test Of strength came upon the cleo
ton Of a Speaker for the House of
Representatives Of the Assembly. Ex-
Gov. Odell favored Edwin A. Merritt,
Jr., but upon count Of noses could
only show up 81 votes in his support.
Gov. HiggiRgs and President Roosevelt
favor the election OF James w. Wads-
worth, Jr., and clear and undoubted
majority of the House has been rallied
to his support. Ex-Gov. Odell is not
dismayed, however, and will continue
the fight. He says that politics is like
hurdle race, in which one frequently
gets trip and a bad fall but the only
thing to do is to keep stiff upper lip
and ride straight ahead for the next
one. That iss what he is going to do.

by the census of 1904, the results OF
which have just been published In
that year the excess of births over

excess in 1903 Of 1906. The diminu-

The Ohio Supreme Court has made a
startling innovation in criminal law by
holding that the State has the same
right to a change Of venue as the GRIM
inal has, Among the foundation stones
of our criminal laws is that a man
charged with a crime has right to 8
speedy trial by his immediate neigh
bors and where he can have all the as
sistance of his friends and witnesses in
proving his innocence. The criminal
has been allowed the change OF venue
when ever he alleged that the senti-
ment Of the community was SO strong
against him that he despaired Of hav-
ing a fair trial. 1t has never been re-
garded as possible for the State to
have such a privilege because 1T might
cality where the sentiment was strong
ly against him. 1t was principle that
played an important part in the case of
Jefferson Davis. Under our theory of
law he had to be tried for treason in
some County or District where he COM
mitted the actual offense, and it was
hopeless to expect to secure a convic-
ton by any jury in the limits Of the
late so-called Southern Confederacy.
If the Government had had the right
to change Of venue Davis might have
been tried in Ohio or Pennsylvania,
where a conviction would have been
certain.
