WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON
Region Where Everyone Is Judged
by His Ability to Grow
Fruit.

There's the cooperative idea in the
valley. You can see 1t when the di-
rectors of the Fruit Growers union
hold their weekly meeting In the lit
tie shed which forms their headquar-
ters, says Harris Lloyd, in Outing Mag
azine. Here Chris and Hank and Ned
and Jim sit on apple boxes or the
managers desk or lean against the
window sill while they discuss the
business the manager presents to them.
They are merely the half dozen grow
ers who have been selected to settle
the question of prices for the com
munity and where to ship the harvest.
They suggest to the manager what
they think is best, then hurry away
to finish up picking or spraying or
whatever else there is on hand, leaving
him to do the rest Sometimes there's
the question about the best kind of
fruit to send to certain place. VIII
1t stand the climate? VIII 1t keep long
enough?
Let us leave it to Old Man Tucker"
says Hank.
In comes the old man. Coatless, his
blue shirt unbuttoned at the throat,
his features literally gnarled by the
so years he has been making the world
give him a living. He doesn't look
exactly like a man who can tell the
nice points of an apple as the palm
list tells the lines of your hand, but
his word is the final judgment, for he
has never erred yet. Ask who he is
and you hear: why, he's the one
whose Newtown pippins are so good
that they go to Europe" And beside
him the college graduate, even the
mayor, has to take a back seat. Here
in the valley he is one of the biggest
men, even if he does come to town in
his shirt sleeves and rides a bicycle
because he hasn't time to hitch up"
Everybody is as good as his neighbor-
good enough to be called by his first
name. No matter where one has come
from or how high his former standing
here he is measured by one thing-his
ability to grow fruit.

CHINESE AND BARBARIANs.
Ignorance of Foreign Races and Con.
ditions Is Widespread
in China.

Says a writer in the Picking ant
Tientsin Times: Chinese Ignorance
is one of the hardest things for the
foreigner who is not a Chinese student
to comprehend. Those VINO lay them
selves out to study the people and
their language are not long, no doubt,
in discovering the solidity OF the brick
wall which Chinese absence Of knowl.
edge represents. The ordinary resi-
dent or casual visitor who only comes
in contact perhaps with the English
speaking official or intelligent, we'll
paid clerk and confidential servant,
cannot realize the absolute inability
of the Chinese people en- masse to dis
tingulsh between nationalities, or to
grasp what other nations really are.
Japan they know, and Russia they
know, for both lie within sight and
hearing, so to speak; but the Straits
Settlements and beyond are the
islands or the southern sea- and Eu'
ropean countries and people merely the
barbarian tribes which rebel. OF
course this ignorance is daily dimin'
ishing, thanks both to the missionary
and government schools, but it is still
sufficiently broadcast-and likely to re-
main so for many years-to render in
fiammable movements at all times
probable.
''The name of America has become
very familiar through the boycott
propaganda, but no idea exists as to
what or where America is, neither is
any clear distinction made between
America and South Africa, and only
the other day we heard that by the
people generally the boycott placards
were understood as signifying that
some foreign country had ill-treated
the Chinese"

Democracy variousIy Defined.

There are various definitions of the
word democracy. Greece is often, and
not unreasonably, called the most dem
ocratic country in Europe, yet it has
a king and shows no sign of wishing
to get rid of him. Kossuth was the
leader of the Hungarian democracy"
in seeking to establish republic, but
the Magyars are among the most aris-
tocratic of people. England remains
loyal to her hereditary monarchy, yet
is in some respects actually more
democratic than America. So these
constitutional democrats in Russia are
not aiming at the immediate establish
ment Of republic, and they are not
likely to organize an attack upon the
crown or upon the monarchical prin-
ciple. They are striving for consti-
tutional system under which the peo-
pule will have voice in the govern
ment, and that is something which
they now seem reasonably sure of at
tanning by peaceful and amicable
means.-N. Y. Tribune.

Brasseries of Paris.

There was time" says LIE Petit
Parisien, when the brasseries con-
stituted the rendezvous of all the art
lists, writer's and politicians of Paris.
This was so during the last years of
the second empire and the first years
of the third republic. There is now
no literary brasserie. Here and there
in some cafe the disabled of other
times. the failures" the waits of the
antique past, try to continue the tradi-
lions of art at the brasserie. But it is
bad custom which has had its day."
