The election of 1906 10 over, but still
another word remains to be spoken.
II relates not to the levity of one

another. The Republican party has
elected much the greater portion OF
its candidates. 1t has lost leading
Office, and saved another only by a
slight margin--the places OF greatest
Importance in state and national
alfairs-through the desire of various
groups to "get even," or obtain re.
venge. This malignity struck chiefly
at the head of the ticket. The bosses
whom the primary law had dethroned
the deposed masters of the old ma.
chine, and all their henohmen

also want to celebrate at home, and
the Commercial Club have called a
meeting for his evening to discuss the
matter and try and arrange for big

make a. better time for all The Hood
River band has had an offer to play AT
White Salmon, but If a celebration is
had at home they would much prefer
to stay here. The Mt. Hood road
have granted fare of 30 cents for the
round trip to the end of their line,
and this will give an opportunity for
most of our citizens to take their first
ride on the finest scenic railway on
the coast. The Grangers have invited
the sister lodges of the surrounding
towns to celebrate with them, and

By substantial majority, the house
of representatives has decided tt
place the provisions for the free dis
tribution of garden seed back in the
agricultural appropriation ILL. Ap
parently very large percentage of the
members of the house OF brinf
themselves to the point Of doing away
with this petty and ridiculous graft
which answers no purpose whatever
save to enable representative Il
maintain the transparent fiction that
he has a personal interest in the vel
fare of those of his individual consti
tuents whom he ''honors" by send
ing them few cents worth Of garder
seeds each year.
Everybody In the country knows
the farcical nature of this free seed
distribution. The seeds which ere
sent out differ in no essential particu
lar, when they are good for anything
at all, from seeds which are on sale In
every suburban grocery and every
country store. The amount which ii
sent to any individual, If he used them
at all, and to do so is rare occur.
ence, could be purchased by him for
10 cents or so If he got them at The
grocery instead Of as a free gift from
beneficent government. His pride
may be somewhat gratified at the
recognition of him by the member OF
congress from his district involved In
the granting to him of the seed; and
that is all. lnCueI, this last Is the
sole consideration which actuates the
members of congress in voting for the
appropriation.
A considerable sum of money which
might be used legitimately to advance
the interests of agriculture is thus
thrown away. The carriage Of this
quantity of seeds through the mails,
under frank of the members of con
gress, means large addition to the ex-
press nse of conducting the postal
service, without any returns to the
public for it. No argument which
rings true was ever advanced to justi-
fy the expenditure. 1t has been ridi-
culed and abused annually, but all to
no effect. IL is a petty graft, and the
representatives continue to vote for
1t because they think they can secure
some small amount of political aid to
themselves from the distribution of
the seeds, and that is all that they
care about. 1t is to be hoped that
the senate will strike the provision
out of the bill before passing it,
