who has been one of the most ardent

upon the President yesterday and called

Government
The President is somewhat familiar
with the general facts which demand

Mr.. Humphrey. as he left the White
House. He knows that the Japanese
government is paying about 1855 900 per
year in subsidies to ship companies
whose vessels anchor at the same
wharves with American vessels. the Bos-
ton Steamship Company which receives
no subsidies whatever.

ALL SHOULD SPRAY
And Avoid keep Benton
Orchards Clean.

A case is to be brought before
the Circuit Court at Oregon City
to test the law which empowers
a fruit inspector to enter pest
infested orchard afler the owner,
having been duly notified, failed
to spray his trees, says an edi-
torial in the Oregonian. A Mil
waukie orchard was entered
under these conditions several
weeks ago and 81 prune trees in-
tested with scale were cut down.
The irate own promised to
make the inspector pay for the
damage inflicted, and, in pur-
suance of this purpose. has
brought suit for the sum of $2o4o,
the alleged values OF the trees
thus destroyed.
The question Of clean orchards
and perfect fruit in this state
is involved in the outcome of
this suit. That the owners of
orchards will not, in many cases.
without compulsion, spray their
fruit trees and destroy those that
are messy, dirty and useless. is a
fact we'll attested by the infested
fruit that has appeared in this
market in years past and by the
mess-grown, pest-ridden trees
that abound throughout the Will
lamette Valley. The orchardist
who SPRAYS his trees finds his
crop at the mercy of his neigh
Dor who neglects to do so. It is
manifestly impossible to re-estab-
lish and maintain the reputation
of Oregon fruit, according to the
required market standard, unless
these old orchards are DESTROYED
and the newer ones are sprayed
at proper times. The thrifty
citizen finds spraying his own
orchard unavailing while the
trees OF his nelghbors across the
way are white with wooly aphis,
matt ed with San Jose scale, OF
are breeding place for the Goblin
moth.
This settlement carries its own
evidence and argument. 1t fol-
lows that Oregon must either
abandon its pretentions as state
able to raise fruit as fine as any in
the world, or take measures to
compel indolept, thriftless or
chardlsts to come up to the
standard set by the Board OF
Horticulture for the production oil

SENTIMENT FOR BRYAN.

There is a rising tide of en-
thusiasm in the democratic camp
for w. J. Bryan which may bear
to him the party nomination in
1908 for president. That the
stirring of this enthusiasm was
preconcerted as to time and man.
ner is Of little moment. The
fact is that no other man in the
party so easily calls out the en-
thusiastic support of the demo-
cratic host as Mr. Bryan.
But he does not by any means
have a monopoly of this element.
w. R. Hearst divides it with
him. Indeed, it would appear
that Hearst advocates and stands
for greater number of things
which are desired by the discon-
tented in both the democratic
and republican parties, Beyond
doubt Hearst is more radical than
Bryan and "Hearstism" simply
out-Bryans "Bryanism."
Since the isms" of Hearst do
not commend themselves to con-
servative democrats, the leaders
of the party are compelled to find
a more conservative man, yet
one who will strongly appeal to
the discontented and restless ele-
ments in the party. They find
such a man in Bryan. No man
in the party meets this require
ment so fully as Mr.. Bryan, and
this is the main reason why he is
the logical candidate of his party
for the presidency. d,
From now on we expect to see
increasing enthusiasm, both man.
ufactured and real, for Mr.. Bry-
an, Hearst and his followers
will not contribute to this. It is
not improbable that his ambition
may carry him into open revolt,
for he is young, able and very
ambitious.
Enthusiasm, if we'll grounded
and earnest, is a strong element
in carrying any cause to success,
especially when it is aroused for
both cause and man.
But there is much senseless en-
thusiasm, and unreal, because
there is no rational basis for it.
OF this sort is that which certain
leaders of the Oregon democracy
sought to excite for Governor
Chamberlain. They lost sight of
the fact that he in the first in
stance owed his election to fac
tionalism in the republican party.
That his reelection was largely
because the republican party
had not yet fully emerged from
the conditions thrust upon it by
factional strife. There is moth
ing in the governors fortunate
opportunity to stir up real endur-
ing enthusiasm for national
ticket, whether his name was at
the head or the tail of it.
The enthusiasm for Bryan is
of a wholly different sort. It is
not based on mere passing, per-
sonal sentiment. 1t will grow
and gain strength, and it will be
interesting to watch its growth,
and its ultimate waning, for it is,
after all, more for the man than
for his cause.
