HOP GROWERS MEET.
Agree on baling. and Discuss the situa.
ton Generally.

There was an interesting and largely
attended meeting of hop growers held
at Independence yesterday afternoon,
which, II is believed, will result in much
good to the fraternity. About so
growers were present from Marion and
Polk counties, intending Messrs. Krebs.
o%ttenheimer and Patterson, Of this
city.
One Of the objects OF the meeting
was to take up the matter Of picking,
by the box or by weight, and it was
decided TO be the best way 10 use the
latter system, therefore, IL was agreed
that all growers win pay for picking
by the hundred pounds, rather than by
the box. Resolutions were adopted
covering various subjects Of interest TO
growers. All were urged to insist up.
On having only pure sulphur for drying
and to avoid any spurious grades con.
tanning arsenic or other foreign sub,
stance. Clean picking was also thor,
oughly insisted upon, and the matter Of
packing in a near uniform square bale
was resolved upon. Last year when
hops were worth a fancy price, many
growers put several pounds Of extra
baling cloth in their bales, thus gain.
ing a neat profit on the same. II was
agreed upon that all should use only
Eve pounds Of cloth to the bale.
II was the eoneensus of opinion that
the crop for this year would be Of good
quality, as a result of the hot weather.

have raised the Oregon crop to 10000
bales but the extreme heat will shrink

encouraged and look forward to good
markets.

A Lesson In Race suicide.

Attention was recently called by
Thornwell Haynes, American consul at
Rouen, to the decline in the birth rate
in France. 1t appears that in fifty
years France has dropped from the po-
sition of the most popS,ous country in
Europe to the sixth place and is still
tending downward.
Now, France is a very fertile country,
second to none in Europe, and her peo-
pie are industrious and thrifty. Taxes
are heavy. but the money goes back to
the people In variety of ways, for the
government of France does more for
the comfort of the individual than that
of any other nation. In the Socialistic
tendency of the French people an econ
omist of the nation, NJ. Demoulins,
finds the key to Frances weakness ia
fertility. Life is too easy. The child
depends too much upon the family and
the state. Frenchmen are comfortable
at home and do not emigrate. Careers
are provided for them, and they never
learn to hustle.
But the French are farseeing. and
the resources of life are easily measur-
ed Enough for this generation does
not mean that the next generation may
be larger and fare as well individ-
ually; hence parents will not bring
forth children beyond the resources
which are in sight The ideal of the
middle class Frenchman is place in
the civil service. But these berths are
limited, and the son may not surely
step into his daddy's shoes. In short.
French life is cramped and limited by
its Socialistic formation. says this econ
omist. The explanation is worthy of
noting by those who dream of advance
through paternalism or Socialism.

There died recently at the age of
ninety-four New Jersey woman who
remembered being kissed by Lafayette
when he visited this country as a ma
tional guest in 1924. 1t was an Or
binary Hobsonizing affair-the salute
of schoolgirls, who in companies spread
flowers in the pathway of the distin-
guished and titled foreigner.
OF course Lafayette never remember
ed the individual recipients of the hon
or of being kissed by Washington's
friend and the champion of liberty, but
the favored ones treasured the recol-
lection to their dying days. Only for
episodes of this kind the memory Of
Lafayette would seldom be recalled,
and the country surely ought not to for
get his tender gallantry nor his ehival-
ry on the field.

The Town Library and Men Patrons.

The editor declares that men, unlike
women, seek practical information in
a library and that they are usually
right in assuming that they cannot
find it there. He thinks that the pre-
dominance OF women in library man
agement has tended TO Increase the
Termination Of public libraries" and
that women use books as playthings."
Men use books as tools, and the editor
offers the following suggestions fol
adapting the library to men patrons:

early history of the town; when the boy
who wants 10 study electrical engineer
ing in his odd hours does not have to
send S25 to a correspondence school for
books the library ought to supply; when
the village inventor can learn how many
times before his nonrefillable bottle has
been patented; when the grocer's clerk
comes over to see what brands of baking
powder contain alum: when the mechanic
can find out what horsepower he can get
from a windmill above his shop; when the
political tunta adjourns from the drug

Kinley ran ahead of his ticket in 1896 in
the Fifth congressional district; when the

the books on the municipal ownership of
electric light plants: when the clerk of
the district court discovers in the files of
the local paper an advertisement OF a dis
solution of partnership ten years ago,
then we can be sure that Andrew Car
negie has not wasted his money.
Libraries in large cities are work
houses for men in all departments of
activity, and the books of reference
and newspaper files are the most
thumbed of all. Perhaps an approach
to the city model, at least in the
breadth of the information offered, is
best suited TO the town.

What the Moors Think.

1t is evident from a recent Morocco
setter to the Pail Mall Gazette that the
sultan's people have their own ideas
about Frances pacific penetration" of
their land and of the role Of England
and Germany in the premises. Says
this writer:
One would not care to share 1t perhaps
Out 1t is as well for English people to
SSnow something of the Moorish point of
view in the present state Of affairs. Ac-
tual understanding of its foundations can
only come with knowledge of the Moors
themselves. the people who terrorized Eu-
rope for many generations and received
tribute from US as recently as the begin
ming Of last cesltury by way OF bribe for
the protection Of our shipping; the same
people whose dominion in southern Europe
once represented the apex of civilization,
while English folk were as yet but half
naked savages: the people who, having
once ruled the sea- have fallen to the
stage Of inability to build a rowboat The
general public in Europe cannot under
stand the Moor, but 1t should know the
Moors view.
A native is quoted as saying that the
Moors have watched French doings in
Algeria and want none of them in Mo
rocco. England would be welcome,
however, to repeat her history in deal
ing with India. To quote further:
As Moors see it, European counsels
.aave robbed their sultan of his prestige
among the faithful and thrown the coun-
try into a state of chaos and insurrection
all to serve European ends France is
more deeply mistrusted than any other
power. because French aggression has
been for a long time a dreaded danger.
England is regarded as the greatest and
best power, but as one that has finally
thrown over Morocco at a price rather
upon the lines of Moorish craftsmanship
Germany is regarded an admirably
alseful catspaw. and the one point upon
which all Morocco is united is the desire
to shut out infidel intrusion. Europe may
regret the fact from Its own somewhat
hypocritical and mainly mercenary stand
point. Ii cannot reasonably be surprised
by it.
In the heart of the hnterland, where
the Christian visitor is never seen, the
people await the coming Of the mahdi,
which shall mark the beginning of the
universal reign of Islam. Meanwhile
the faithful cling to the idea of inde
pendence While other lands have been
invaded by Europeans, Morocco, ex-
cept on the coasts, has resisted the
Christian advance. Driven to the last
citadel, the Moors only ask to be LET
alone.

Was il the real Paul Jones or a sub

one of these had to be Paul Jones', be-

The keynote of a recent book entitled
"a Publishers Confession" is the in
vasion of the field of literature by com
mercialism. The title of this little work
is a misnomer. for it is in essence a
plea for the publisher and a claim that
he is not gging" the profits that
come from the liberal public patronage
Of literature.
The writer of this book declares that
the publisher is underpaid and could
make more money In some other field.
He says that the public gets its good
novels too cheap and there is not
enough margin of profit for author,
publisher and bookseller. This question.
like most others, has more than one
side. The author is of course entitled
to all he can get for his production,
which is the basis of the whole enter
prise. The public, too, has a right to
buy as cheaply as possible. Between
the two are publisher and bookseller,
and it is fact that the latter often
cuts his stated profit in half in order to
meet and TO drive out competition. So

What the Chinese Are Kicking About.

Apparently the Chinese have a real
grievance in their protest against mod
ern interpretations of the Chinese ex-
clusion law. A story comes from Pc
king to the effect that the Celestials
are not stirred up SO much over ex-
clusion of the better class of Chinese
who come TO visit this ceunuy as the
rigid enforcement of the law in the
new possessions OF Hawaii and the
Philippines.
The Chinese contention. according 10
this version, IS that when the arrange
ment was originally made with this
country it was simply to exclude the
laboring class from what was then rec
ognized as the United States. At that
time Hawaii aud the Philippines gave
asylum to large numbers of Chinese.

Turn the Rascals Out and Go Ahead.

Few sermons on the evils of the
time are so full of warning as the fact
that the United States government has
been compelled by the crookedness of
employees to issue new sets of figures
on crop conditions Trustworthy in
formation about the conditions Of
growing crops in the United States is
essential for safe and stable business
not only at home, but in foreign coun-
tries, to which our products are heavily
exported. Cotton manufacturers the
world over who use our southern sta
pie cannot make their contracts with
any sort of certainty on the mere
guesswork of the cotton output for
the year. The same applies to tobacco
and to the distribution of wheat, corn,
meat and other foodstuffs.
1t was to prevent uncertainty as to
the future and to give to all manufac-
turers and dealers equal opportunities
for buying and selling with open eyes
that the crop reports were originally
instituted. The system has failed, as
charges by the cotton growers, tobacco
growers and grain merchants have
shown. All involved pronounce the
system good, but the results mislead-
ing and often useless. This is all be
cause of the minor defects of the sys-
TEN. What is wanted is expert knowl-
edge that will not make mistakes and
unhinching honesty in making up and
publishing the reports.
