The senator to Tell the Country OF the
.AIdrich- COllusiOn.

Senator LaFollette is incensed at
the interpretations placed on the SEN
ate rules by Vice President Fairbanks
The Wisconsin senator says he Will go
before the country with the story.
"Thls summer l shall endeavor to
make the people Of the United States
as familiar with the collusion between
the vice president and Aldrich," said
Senator LaFollette, "as it is possible
for me to do. On the Chautauquan
circuit this summer I shall call
spade a spade. There won't be any
opportunity there for improvised gag
rules.
"Of course, there can be nothing
politically partisan in these lectures

rha Moral Of PLAYING Cards.

Playing cards have had their moral
side, it may surprise you to know. AT
the Blenheim club in London, lecturing
on the subject Of playing cards from
the point of view of the collector, Mr..
Alfred Whitman said that the most
valuable packs were those that taught
Biblical history or inculcated moral
lessons. In Italy In the eighteenth CEN
tury It was customary to issue packs
Of cards with Old Testament scenes
engraved upon them. In Germany Of
the same period playing cards with
fables to which morals were attached
were customary. French playing cards
Of the time of Louis XIV. were used to
teach geography and history, while in
the England of Elizabeth and the Stu
arts playing cards were used as po
litical pamphlets. Most valuable were
cards issued In France at the time Of
the French revolution, when figures Of
Genius, Liberty and Equality took the
place Of kings. queens and knaves.-

Majority and Plurality.

In politics the plurality Is tho great
est Of more than two numbers and Is
also the excess Of the highest number
OF votes cast for any one candidate
over the next highest number. When
a candidate receives out OF 10000 votes
cast 1000 and two other candidates
receive respectively $500 and $500,
the first is elected by a plurality,
though he has received less than a
majority Of the whole vote, and he Is
said to have a plurality of 500 votes
If the numbers are 5000, 5000 and
1000, the majority is 1000 and the
plurality Is 5000. A majority, there
fore, must be more than half the en-
tire vote cast and a candidates ma
jority is, then. the difference between
the number Of votes he received and
the combined number Of votes cast for
all other candidates; his plurality is
the difference between his own num-
Der and the number received by the
candidate nearest to him. Oftentimes
candidate receives plurality, but
not a majority. Unless there Is a tie
there is always plurality. Path

Portland, June S.-The great Rose

Commercial club Monday morning,
closing the day with a dinner that
was simply perfect.
Admiral Swinburne and the othel
officers OF the Charleston, the York

pated in every event, and had much
to do with the success OF the pro-
gram. The parades were all super
Tor, the automobile races were re-

the prosperity of the Pacific north

In the valley around Cove, Oregon,
there will be produced this year two
hundred tons of cherries and five
hundred cars Of apples. The people
there realize that they will need from

THE AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN
washington Post.)

There has been no diplomatic COM
pact entered into in recent times OF
more importance to the two countries
directly concerned and to the world at
large as well, or likely to be more
far-reaching and benefcent in its
consequences, than the recent agree
ment between the United States and
Japan In no sense can it be regard
ed as an entangling alliance, but
simply as a definite arrangement be-
tween two great powers in the in
terest Of commerce, peace, and good
understanding. For some unaccount-
able reason there have been for a long
time in both countries persons APP
parently DESTROYS of fomenting dis
sessions and of creating a feeling of
mutual district, dislike, and appre-
hension The hearty and genuinely
cordial reception of our fleet by the
japanese government and people has
gone far to put stop to this and to
strengthen friendly feeling and rela-
tions. The reaching of this agree
ment will complete the work and re-

All idea of aggression has been

China is guaranteed, and there will
be no more land-grabbing, by greedy

governments agree. in case anything
shall occur which threatens to dis
turb the present status, to consult

THE ALIENS IN ORR POPULATION


One Of the most remarkable state
meuts made by Seer. OF Commerce and
Labor Strauss in his annual report IS
that regarding the proportion of al
lens in our population At first blush
one would be inclined, thinking OF
the enormous influx of recent years
passing the million point in some
twelve months to believe that the ma
tive born proportion had been ire
mendously decreased. Sect. Strauss
states with positiveness that such is
not the case, that the proportion oil
aliens in the total population now is
but a trifle greater than it was hall
century ago. In 1860. he states, tbs
aliens made up thirteen and two
tenths while to-day they comprise
thirteen and seven-tenths of the total
an increase over a half century age
of but one-half of one per cent, toe
slight TO be considered.
Up to 1860 there were but few al
lens in the United States The people
were practically a homogeneous nation
Then came the great influx from Ire
land followed later by that from Ger
many, Scandinavia, and in more re-
cent years from Italy, Hungaria and
Russia. 1t has been to the latter class
that objections have been generally
raised, it being felt by many that il
would be difficult to assimilate mil
lions OF new Corners whose origin and
ideas were so entirely foreign to the
old stock. Many of the most far sight
ed of publicists now believe, though
that the capacity of the country tc
absorb, modify, and, in effect, practi-
cally revolutionize aliens is not linn
tied to those from the old German OF
Celtic stock but takes in those Of
Slav and Latin origin as well
Twenty five years from now, it il
claimed, we will be a much nearer
homogeneous people than we are to.
day, so rapidly do American institu.
tions and the American atmosphere OF
political, social and religious life
bring all elements into fairly har-
monious whole.
While it is gratifying to know thai
the actual proportion of aliens shows
no such increase as had been feared
it must not be overlooked that the
children born of the aliens are, il
many cases, still permeated, through
force of environment, with ideas thai
are foreign to those that have long
ruled in this country. The public
schools are a great force for the sub
stitution of American for imported
views of life, and the next generation
that will come from this new stoct
will doubtless be almost as American
as those whose ancestry runs bach
through a half dozen generations
Out of the amalgamation that will in
evitably come of the new blood witt
the old will arise the true American
