NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

Much of what Candidate Chain says
of tie "old parties is true Tlere
is a great deal of humbug and clap
trap about their professions and pre-
tenions, and much to lie desired 10
their performances, says the Oregon
journal Men who control parties
and attend to the peoples business
are only mortals, and some of them
not very high grade of muItals eth
er, but there is hope and even dis
tinct signs of Improvement in both
parties.
Properly, considering his position
as a candidate of prohlbitionists, Mr..
Chain regards prohibition OF the
manufacture and sale of liquor as the
paramount issue, the one great ques-
tion to be settled. 1t is certainly a
great and live question, but many
efforts and long experience have
shown that it cannot be made party
or political question. The reasons
why this is so might be found, but 1t
is sufficient that it is so. Millions of
voters are opposed to the liquor traffic
"in their midst" who won't vote the
prohibition ticket in "a national elec-
tion. This has been demonstrated
many times, as it will be again this
year. Great ares of the country
precincts, counties, even states-have
voted for prohibition, but the same
men who did so will not vote for ma
tional prohibition. This may seem
curious and contradictory, but 1t is
so, and it must be accepted as fact,
whether we can give sufficient reasons
for it or not.
From a sentimental OF an abstract
point of view, Mr.. Chain is right II
the liquor traffic is a great moral wrong
and terrible evil it should be pro-
hikited and what is good for some
precincts, counties and states should
be good for the nation; yet the people
will not have it this way.
They prefer to deal with this ques-
tion locally, at the most by states,
usually by counties or less divisions,
no such division being willing to i'm
pose prohibition upon other states or
the county at large. And under local
option laws the prohibition movement
has gained great ground and is doing
what the prohibitionists as party
have utterly failed to do for half a
century. Local option does not sat.
isfy MIR. Chain and few others, but
it satisfies great majority of people,
and has gone far to render national
prohibition party almost icrously
needless.
Besides, prohibition as a national
policy is as yet impracticable. If MIR.
Chain we've president under such a
law he could not enforce it, even with
an army of 1000, 900 men. An over.
whelming majority would revolt
against it, including millions who are
for prohibition locally. There is liz
tie use in advocating something thai
only one man out of 100 wants or il
In favor of, after generation of dis
oussion and appeal. Temperance re-
formers would better proceed along
practical lines, where they can get re-
suits, as the local optiouists are do
ing Mr.. Chain says that a majority
should not have its own way if it Ii
wrong, but the majority will not abid,
by the decision of minority, especi
ally very small minority, ss to what
is right or wrong.

In defiance of all the acknowledged
laws of nature In regard to horticul-
ture and fruit growing, a plum tree,
thrifty and loaded with fruit, stands
wedged in on all sides in the back
yard of Tompkins Bros. Cigar store.
The brick wall of the Hood River
Banking and Trust compaDy's build
ing overshadows it on one side, while
that of Frank A. Cram imprisons it
on the other aud in front the cigar
store building jams into its vitals. A
narrow outlet at the back allows one
detected limb to reach out for rec
ognition by the public, bat 1t is
doubtful II many see it. Nevertheless
the plum tree, which Is OF the yellow
egg variety, flourishes nightly. Rear
ing it's head above the root ot the
store its limbs are covered with an
abundant yield of yellow fruit. Unlike
the flower that is "born to blush un-
seen and waste its sweetness on the
desert air." the fruit of this plum
tree each year delights many mortals
with its fine flavor. Irrigated with
salt water from empty ice cream tubs,
fertilized with cigar butts and spray
ed with lemonade we are informed by
the proprietor of the store that each
year it brings forth its abundant crop
unoared for, unsung and unboosted.
No stories of its great achievement
have appeared In the newspapers AMI
no pictures of its glorious.yellow fruit
have enthusiastically portrayed its won
derful yield. At last, however, it has
been discovered and like the genius
who has been working unheraided In
his garret the fruits of its modest
eff orts are known.

Piles for consumption as ever before.
While growers will probably not agree
to such a statement, 1t is quite posi-
BILE that the price of apples, like that
OF many other commodities. was ex-
cessive last year. Values in all lines
we're high. Though it would be graft
flying If apple growers could get AZ
high prices every year as they did last
season, such good fortune is not to be
expected. On the contrary, 1t seems
that prices will be lower than actual
conditions justify-s misfortune which
the producers must suffer unless they
can find way to stimulate demands.
