DIR. WITHYCOMBE FOR GOVERNOR

The masses of intelligent people in
Oregon enthusiastically favor DR.
James Withycombe's candidacy for
the nomination for the governorship
of this state. There are abundant
reasons for this support DIR. Witty
combe is well known throughout the
commonwealth as one of it's ablest
and most useful citizens. He is thor
oughly familiar with the existing con-
ditions in Oregon; with their causes
progress in every material way; with
the best and most available means of
promoting it, and with the general
trend of development in every county.
His place at the head of the great agri-
cultural institution of Oregon, in
which he has long rendered such en-
inent service for the people-and es-
pecially for that class which is gen.
orally overlooked by the politician who
seeks Office chiefly for its emoluments.
perquisites and Advantageous fitted
him, as no other experience could have
done, to perform the duties of govern
or absolutely for the greatest good to
the greatest number. The farmers.
horticulturists and stockmen of the
state, who represent the greatest and
most permanent resources of Oregon,
appreciate these services and are glad
to have an opportunity to manifest
that appreciation in a substantial way.
He would certainly be a governor for
all of the people. He would represent
no political faction. In the perform
ance of his official work he would pro-
coed without prejudice or selfshness.
He would show Partially neither to
faction nor section. His extensive ex-
perience in dealing with the people di-
-ectly would be of far greater assist |
ance to him than any counsel or di- |
'ection he might receive from commit |
.ees and leaders Of the dominant par.
y. The rural interests of the state
would receive timely, proper and ade-
luate attention. The affairs in which |
he common people are most interest
I'd would not be shelved for less i'm
1ortant matters of special interests.
These facts make it wellnight certain
hat DR.. Withycombe will receive the
and be elected by an over
vote from all classes of peo-
de, and particularly that class of citi-
.ens whose interests, however impor-
ant, are generally of secondary con-
,ern to the mere politician in office.

A RESTRICTED DISTRICT.

The policy of driving all reputedly
or suspectedly immoral women into
one quarter of the city, for that pur-
pose going into quarters where the
general public knows nothing of their
existence, is to say the least one of
doubtful expediency or wisdom. If such
women are quiet in their apartments,
do not show themselves for what
they are in public, do not offend mod
est and virtuous people on or in view
lof the streets, and are not accused Of
criminal practices aside from what is
involved in following their unfortun-
ate occupation, what does society in
general or any particular portion of it,
gain by raiding them, hustling them
out of their quarters and banishing
them to a restricted district? Within
that district are business people and
property owners who might object to
having it made such. There are some
within the boundaries who would like
to see, and perhaps are striving to
make, their neighbors better instead
Of worse; cleaner instead of fouler;
attractive to good people rather than
to bad ones; what right have the au-
thorities to fill up their neighborhood
with these women and those who con-
sort with them? On the other hand,
since it is admitted that such women
must live somewhere, is it treating
the owners of premises that they oc-
cupy quite right to drive out their ten
ants? of course it is unlawful to rent
or use premises for certain purposes,
but everybody knows that the law
forbidding this is impossible of strict
enforcement, and whether the pres
ence and tenancy of such women are
a benefit or injury to the property,
what right has the mayor arbitrarily !
to say they shall go from one quar-
ter to another?
We understand, of course, that re- !
strictions must be placed on the go !
cial evil" and that immoral women
must as such be kept out Of sight and
hearing of the public as much as pos :,
sible; and further that they should not
be allowed in places frequented by
decent people; but really how much
worse are some such women in rooms
over an Alder or Washington or JEFF
ferson street saloon than in rooms
over saloons farther down town? No
body but persons who are seeking
them would find them in the former
places or know of or care about their
existence theresa what harm do they
here more than on Couch or Davis
streets?
1t is true that the problem present
ID by such women and those who as
sociate with them is difficult one,
plan is best, but we cannot see that
attempts to carry out such a policy
strictly and fully would do more good
han harm.

ObSl RUCIING A GREAT EN1Eh-
PRISE.
If the daily newspapers of Portland
want something to agitate and in the
peoples interests, it is a wonder they
would not demand that the persistent
efforts to keep the Northern Pacific
railroad, being built down the north
bank Of the Columbia, from coming
across the peninsula and into Port
land, should cease. Here is an enter
prise that is not only causing the ex-
penditure of many millions in it's own
building, but that is causing other
railroads to be built and other and
greater expenditures to be made, and
leading to more development of Ore
gon and the Pacific Northwest than
anything that has happened since
Mount Hood was hole in the ground,
and yet it is being opposed and OBJ
structed and harassed and delayed,
and it's entrance into Portland may be
defeated by an opposition company
that seeks to monopolize transporta-
ton in this region, and yet scarcely
anything is said about it.
OF course there are rights, and le-
gal questions to be settled, but the
matter is of such vital importance that
the people ought to demand with one
voice that these matters be speedily
adjusted, so that this great enterprise,
worth untold millions to Portland and
Oregon, should not be held up for
months and Perhaps for years by aT
opposition company, to whom the peo-
pie of this state and city really own
no favors but such a. they have re-
paid many fold. Not only are the o.
r. & N. lawyers doing everything in
their power to kill this great enter
prise, for which they are not to blame,
a,pr it is such work as we'll as other
finds that they are paid for, but it
seems as if one or two members of
the Port of Portland commission and
perhaps a few other interested par
ties are also trying to block this en-
terprise and injure Portland to an in
calculable extent, and if so they ought
to hear from the Lublic.
What can the public do? Well, if
these obstructive tactics are kept up
the business men could get together
and resolve to withhold all the pat.
ronage possible from the road or cor
poration that is doing this great dam
age. No other large community would
long submit to a great injury on the
part of a concern or of people who de-
pend largely on it for it's support. |
There are two ways of dealing with
all the injury he can inf1ict upon you,
even while you are feeding him, and
the other is to withhold sustenance
from him and fight back-and the lat
ter way is the one that practical man
kind usually resorts to.
Since the above was written the
daily papers have published editorials
criticizing the delay Of the Port of
Portland commission and urging
prompt action with respect to the
bridge across the Willamette, and in
this have done the public a service,
and The New Age hopes they will
keep hammering away. AS to the
right of way and grade contention,
that is in the courts, where it is likely
to remain for two or three years I'M
less great public pressure be brought
to bear upon the contending parties,
and particularly upon the one that
manifestly is trying to prevent the
Northern Pacific from coming into
Portland, or delaying that event as
long as possible.

ocation was on either side. Such an
occurrence is nothing new or strange
in this country, between white men,
or between colored men, Something
like it occurs almost every day. Yet
this fracas precipitated a riot, occa-
stoned a mob that tore down and set
fire to houses, and caused the sheriff
to appeal to the governor for militia,
which, after considerable damage had
been done and with a good deal of
effort restored order. All this does
not usually happen when two angry
men take shots at each other, but it
happened in this case simply because
one of the men was white and the 9th
er one colored Not because a man or
two aid been shot, not because crime
or two had been committed, but be-
cause a colored man was one of the
culprits, thousand or so white men
and boys formed themselves into a
mob, intent to destroy the colored
mems homes and property and per-
haps some of their lives, as they did
as to some of the homes and nearly
did as to some of the lives, and their
innocent children. It does no appear
that the colored population of Spring
field has been especially offensive or
obnoxious, or that as whole they
had done anything to merit such
destructive, lawless and vindictive Wis
itation, but the spirit of race preju-
dice was aroused and became in
famed, it was further heated with
liquor and except for the coming of
the state militia a lot of inoffensive
people would have been-as some in
fact were-burned out of house and
home and probably there would have
been slaughter of innocents.
All this did not happen centuries or ,
even years ago, it did not happen :
down South where lynching Negroes
accused of crime is considered quite
the proper thing by a large percen-
tage of the white people, but in the !
great Northern state of Ohio in 1906.
Why should white mob arise to de-
stroy property and Stay colored peo-
pie because one of the latter commits
a crime, any more than colored men
should do so if one of them is killed
or wounded? There is no question
here of superiority and inferiority of
races, Of education or labor, or Of So
cial equality. 1t is question of why
the colored population of town is to
be attacked and assaulted and plum
derd and their property destroyed and
perhaps lot of them killed and the
rest driven out homeless and desti-
tute, merely because one of their num-
Der commits crime which if commit
ted by white man on a Negro would
scarcely have been noticed. We make
no defense of Negroes crimes: let
them suffer the full legal penalty, i'm
posed in the regular, legal way; but
such uprisings and outrages as this
shows that the people participating in
it not only have no conception of the
doctrine of "a square DEAL" but that
they are no more fit for citizenship
and the elective franchise than ig-
norant and vicious blacks.

a PRACTICAL waron builder.

The following was written for the
Farm Journal. The directions, though
intended for people at the North, are
just as applicable here and even more
important, because. u climate being
so much warmer, the wood work dries
out so much faster.
Though not a farmer, 1 am employed
in the great farm wagon factory here,
and believe that I can give a word OF
advice as to the using Of farm wagons
and about keeping them so as TO make
them last several years longer than the
average wagon.
When first purchased, take a wrench
and tighten every nut, striking every
bolt a smart tap ON the head before
tightening the same. Continue this
practice each month, as the constant
jar of the wagon will make the nuts
work loose; and a loose wagon soon
wears out.
The skein should be wiped off clean
every time it is creased, as that re-
moves the grit that collects and wears
the skein and box so fast.
When the paint a off the ~felloes,
nave SoLHc paint VI IAuSecu "a mat JOu
can put onto preserve the wood from
the water and mud.
Never lets tires get loose enough tc
need wiring on, and never wire them
on if they do. Also, never run a
wagon into the pond to swell the wheel
to fit the tire. Have some competent
smith cut thu tire and tighten the
wheel the right way.
Have a dry shed to keep the wagon
under when not in use.
The foregoing rules will apply to
some farm implements almost as we'll.
What if it does require some trouble!
The best things we have always cost
labor and care; and the man who gives
labor and care always has thu best
things.

Wasting Phosphoric Acid.

1t is estimated by some of the lead
ing agricultural chemists that the
worlds supply of phosphorus, a very
important and essential element of
plant food, and without which no
plants can be grown, will, under our
present wasteful system of agriculture,
be exhausted within the next fifty
years. The stupendous waste of soil
fertility that has occurred in this and
other countries in the past must be
speedily checked. This means that a
new system of agriculture which econ.
omizes the plant food in the soil with
out diminishing the yield or the value
of the crops produced, is being devel'
Oped. In other words, this system
will take thought of the future as
well as of the present productivenesS
of the land. This means that the
farmer of the future must be ac.
quainted with the soil and understand
how to manage it so as to secure the
largest yield with the least injury
to his land.

126 Bushels Of Corn Per Acre.

First, broadcast 100 pounds muriate
potash and 800 pounds acid to each
acre. Then break land as deeply as
possible with a two-horse pillow. Next

some other harrow. Next run rows
six feet apart.
Now broadcast about 600 pounds

plant repeat this blowing again, not re-
versing the ridge, but begin on top
of ridge and making beds as high as
you can and getting as deep down in
the ground between the ridges as pos
sible.
Next, take wing off the two-horse
pillow and drop it in between beds as
