Poor Paris
More Saloon Keepers Than Bakers and
Butchers Put Together

Butchers Put Together
From the "Paris Revue Bleue," trans
lated for "Public Opinion" we learn
that Paris has only 1900 bakers and
14,500 butchers, but it has $4,000 sa-
looms. In the whole of France 100000
persons are employed in making bread,
but 100000 are employed in saloons.
An additional fact is that one-twentieth
of the voters of the country are en-
ployed in this business. All these sa-
looms are gambling resorts. The saloons
pay the city taxes. The average amount
of liquor consumed in France per head
is nine quarts. France, according to
this authority, consumes 60,O00,000
gallons of bitters and absinthe in addi-
ton to her tremendous direct liquor

The apple crop Of the United States

this year. This Is an unusually large
crop, heing 12.625,OOO barrels more
than the crop Of 1905, and growers
complain that they cannot sell all
their fruit and the railroads that they

COMMENT OF LEADING NEWsRA-
PIERS OF VARIOUS TOPICS I,

FORMS.

Portland oregonlan
It is fashionable just now tosrail at
Congress, and particularly at the Sem
ate, as If it we're the seryile tool Of
the predatory interests: but every
well.lnformed person knows that pop
uIar measures almost always find their
first welcome at Washington, not at
the State capitals. The States tardt.
ly follow the initiative Of Congress In
these matters. The income tax, for
example, was adopted by Congress be-
fore the State legislatures had thought
Of such thing. The Supreme Court
vetoed the law 70 be sure, but tho
movement for It has now assumed
such vitality that it is likely to he re.
enacted. The Interstate Commerce
Commission set the example for the
railroad commissions Of the several
States. TIE federal election laws are
more liberal than those of the States.
So one might go on and show by
actual facts, which are Of more &C,
count than theory, that the really pop
ular side Of government in this coun-
try is the federal. The people realize
this as the doctrinaires DO not, and
more and more they are abandoning
the futile hope Of accomplishing great
national objects through State militia

the State governments Ineffective.
Their smallness makes them easily
managed by the Interests"
Weak government is invariably bad
government. Those who desire para
lytic president and Congress do not
really wish for the enforcement Of law
/ and the square deal. What they de-
sire is a free hand to plumber the peo-
Pile. They know that the States are
too weak to control the great combi-
nations Of capital; therefore they dis
like to see the federal government I'M
dertake the task, They prefer to leave
1T in the hands where failure is GER
tain. Slowly, but surely, the people
are making Of the government at
Washington an instrument through
which they can accomplish the great
ends of free civilization.

lens relating to the accomplishment
Of the life of the people on the plane
they occupied before the earthquake
and fire leveled the population TO a
common footing of fighting for food
and shelter. The first struggle being
happily past, It is necessary to sup
ply the people with the things they
did not miss in the first rush Of cal
amity, but which they must have be-
fore they can resume their old life
Among such things are books. After
the fire San Francisco was almost a
bookless city. All its libraries were
destroyed, and they contained more
than 100000 volumes, the result of
years of patient or fortuitous collect
ing.
In the commoner things needed to
rebuild the city as building materials
and furniture, supply could be had
in a short time. Not so with books,
since a majority of the books destroy

to give It circulation among our PEG,

Entirely aside from political con

congratulated on the character of the
representatives. she has sent to Con-
gress This is particularly true of the
First and Second districts, in which
the Hons w. P. Hubbard and George

They are gentlemen of high character
and superior ability. and honor to their
constituents, and will be conspicuous
in the national House Of Representa-
tives. They are not ward politicians,
but statesmen, gentlemen and Chris
tians. In that State such men can
aspire to Office, for the people are free
to choose for themselves.
