Are the republicans of Oregon with
the president or with his opponents in
congress? And with the president rath-
or than with them, is there any good
reason why they should not support a
Democrat for senator, governor, rep
resentative, or any other office, if they
think the Democratic nominee, party
aside, is the better man for the posi-
tion for which he has been named?
Is the president Democrat or Re
publican? Isn't it fact that he is
much nearer, in thought, speech and
action, to Bryan and Folk than to AID
rich and Foraker? Is he the leader as
"a Republican president ex-oficio
should be, of his party? Or is he not
rather a disturber of his party, at war
with its controlling spirits?
On the paramount question now be-
fore congress, the regulation of rail
roads, Mr.. Gearin, for instance, and
the Democrats in congress generally,
are with the president. Why, then,
should not Roosevelt Republicans vote
for Mr.. Gearin or any Democrat like
him?
Week after week the debate on the
HepburD-Dolllver bill drags along,
aud while it has in appearance narrow
ed down to a question of limited or
unlimited power of review by the court

merce commission, everybody knows

ly supporters of the president on the
main issues of contention before the
people?
1t makes no matter of difference
whether the Virginia resolutions of
1898 was sound doctrine or not, nor
that Hayne made fallacious argu
ment that was torn into tatters by
Wet ster, nor, if it be true, that the
free silver propaganda was based on
economic error, nor even that Parker
was nominated and supported chiefly
by men who belong to the ''conserva
tive" Republican camp. All these
things are behind, and must be put
away; as the apostle says, we must
look to the things that are before.
And SO looking, we see nominal
Republican president who is APPARENTLY
about two thirds Democrat, and be-
ing supported in his main contention
and efforts by Democrats. This being
SO, Oregon Republicans should feel
large degree of liberty in the matter of
voting, and need make no apologies to
any one for voting for Roosevelt
Democrat for any office.

makes the following recommends
tions:
Insamuch as the Standard Oil com
pany is aided In maintaining its mo-
nopoly of the oil business through the
refusal Of the New England and Wes-
ern and Southwestern railroads to pro-
rate, and as this advantage is worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars annual.
ly, the president suggests various
methods of relief, among them:
First--Th at oil be placed on the
free list, as was done with alcohol in
the arts.
Second--That tho railroads b q
placed under government regulations
to prevent rebates.
Third--That the remaining oil lands
of the country be carefully protected
The president criticised the trunk lines
serving New York City as to their
relations to the Standard Oil aud sugar
trust.

NOT FOR JONATHAN.
Pilot Rock Record.

Can newspaper change its mind in
week? The answer to this question is
found in the position taken by the Rec
ord on the primary law. One week
ago when it was thought Mr.. Cake had
received plurality of the votes cast
for senator the Record was inclined to
fall in line with the new law and to
urge upon the next legislature the i'm
portance of considering carefully the
qualifications of that man receiving
the Endorsement of his party at the
June election. Now the Record can
do nothing of the kind. Bourne is the
only one of the five candidates for
senator whose selection would have
forced the Record to take this position.
While Lowell from strictly party
standpoint was not entitled to the
votes of Republicans, had he been de-
clared the nominee for the Republican
party, on the face of it it might have
looked as if the people knew what they
wanted, but not so in the case of
Bourne. The people do not want him
and the people may stand assured they
will not be allowed to give themselves
the worst of it by having their recon-
mendation to the legislature acted up
on.

SUGGESTIONS ON PLANTING OR
cHAROS.

There are many things TO be con
sidered in starting a fruit plantation
but the following are among the more
important: choice of varieties, selec.
ton, setting out, source and care of
the trees, the laying out of fruit plan
tation. the soil and location.
The choice of varieties is very i'm.
pOrtant and more so In the southwest
when the question Of injury from late
spring frosts is considered. When
more questions are generally asked
upon this phase of fruit-growing, the
selection of varieties depends large.
ly upon the personal preference of
the grower. upon the purpose for
which the fruit Is to be grown, and
upon the locality. In asking or CIV
ing definite advices about varieties
one should have knowledge of these
three elements and the grower should
ask for specific information such as:
