The Minor Poets.

1t is a mistake to believe. says the
Pittsburg Post. that there is not just
as good poetry turned out in the United
States now as in those far off days.
The Post adds: Twenty years ago
some publishing house. VIC do not re-
call the name, issued volume cntit-
led The Humber Poets,' which was
a collection of verse from persons ull-
known. much of it cullel from the news
papers. Rarely will be found crowded
into one small volume such a merit
orious collection. One can scarcely
pick UP a newspaper today without
finding at least one poem that is worthy
Of preservation. 1t is the popularity of
the age that makes poetry so little ap-
p.eciated. Sentiment exists the same
today as it ever has and ever will. Love
is the same, nature is the same, and
there are many instead of few, who are
able to stir the emotions with their
verse. They who weep because this is
not an age of poetry are the ones who
are constantly wishing for the good
old days that exist only In fancy. There
are no days so good as these"

the banks Of the Doom, quarter of a
century or more before. The song had
given him infinitely more pleasure than
it would have given to the naturalist
himself. Many years ago some sky
larks were liberated OH Long Island,
and they became established there. and
may now occasionally be heard in
certain localities. One summer day j
lover of birds journeyed out from the
city in order to observe them. A lark
was soaring and singing in tho sky
above him. An old Irishn1an came
along and suddenly stopped as if trans
fixed to the spot. A look Of mingled
delight and incredulity came into his
face. Was he indeed hearing the bird
of his youth? He took off his hat and
turned his face skyward, and with
moving lips and streaming eyes stood
a long time regarding the bird. "Ah.'
thought the student Of nature, IF
could only hear the bird as he hears
that song with his ears!" To the man
of science it. was only bird-song to be
critically compared to score of 9TH
ers, but to the other it brought back
his youth and all those long gone days
on his native hills!

Not Interested,

Evidently some mischief makers,
says Rome" have been striving to
spread the news in American that the
Vatican" has been interesting itself
ir this one or that Of the presidential
candidates. Nothing could be farther
from the truth, and there never was
a time when Rome. proverbially pru-
dent and broad minded, held more
serenely aloof from party politics than
during the pontiicatc Of Plus x. Both
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are well
known in the Eternal City. The for
mer won golden opinions among the
| statesmen of the Holy See during the
closing years of the reign of Leo XIII
when he came here to treat with them
concerning the politico-ecclesiastica
affairs of the. Philippines. and lie has
not bclied his reputation for impair
tiality since then. The editor of
. Rome had the honor of accompany
ing Mr.. Bryan to a private audience
with Plus X, and remembers his ex-
/ pressions of admiration for the Pontiff
after the audience. and his entirely
sympathetic references to the Catholic
| Church. Nor is the slightest alarm
V felt in Rome bn the score of the new
American party of Independence OF
which Mr.. Hearst is the life and soul.
| 1t is we'll known that the Hearst
papers always try to be fair to Catho.
lies. and we are not likely to forget
their splendid journalistic record dur-
ing the .sicknezAs. and after the death
of Leo KILL It'll may be taken for
81 anted then that il the Vatican
thinks at all about the great contest
in America it is with the hope that
the best man and the best policy will
win.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE transfer
O.. the Catholic church of the United
States from the jurisdiction of the
propaganda fide, which, though pro.
claimed in Rome five months ago, be-
came operative only a few days ago."
said Mgr. Falconio, delegate apostolic,
tothe Record Herald correspondents.
Seems to be but slightly understc ccd
by the vast majority OF those concern
ed.
Though placing the United States
on equal footing with the old countries
as one thoroughly orgarl<cl and Cath.
olic gives it great dignity and influence,
in a theoretical way, practically the
transfer will mean no changes for
some. The American church will lie
under the rulings Of the canor: law, but
it will take time to understand the
tenets and get things in working
order.
For instance. though the status Of
the parish priest will be elevated. this
change must be worked ont accorI-
ing to circumstances and as various
exigencies arise.
Many Of the alleged changes con.
tained in the new paral constitution
have been exaggerated. saw stated
that hereafter. according to The vati-
can decree, seminarian: should be 81
years of age before being ordained.
There is not one word in the constitu-
tion about the ordination Of priests,
and the rule which has held for centur.
les in this and. other countries will
continue to be enfor:ed-that is, the
age ~ is the canonical for ordination.
Some special rulings have been re-

which the government is not prepared
to incur; and secondly. l think the
latter are glad to have q counter
balance to the State-paid teacher,
who is terrible Socialist and viii
lage tyrant. supposing the govern
lnent were to declare for the monop-
oily of primary instruction, then they
would be entirely in the hands Of the
State teacher, who, if he went out
on strike, could dislocate the educa-
ticnal machinery Of the country. For
these reasons I consider that the Cath
olic schools will continue to exist.
IF the English Catholics wish to
help u.s. he continued, "let them con-
tribute to our offertory.''
Finally, I asked whether secession
from Rome was to be feared.
"Oh, DEAR no." he said. IF any
priest had the idea Of schism he would
not be followed. Those who are not
good Catholics remain outside the
Church nowadays; they would not be-
attracted by a schism. The true
faithful are prepared to follow the
Holy Father wherever he leads"
1t is fact, as all dispatches to this
country state, that the outlook is rap
idly Frightening all over Franco. With
the one serious exception of a tempo
rary dearth of vocations to the priest
hood, the Church is establishing her
independence of all government control
or support. The people are rallylng
to the support of the clergy, raising
funds for the permanent maintenance
of religious worship, and priests and
people are forming associations for So
cial work all over France. The prac-
tice prevailing in this country of hav-
ing lay trustees to cooperate with the
parish priest in conducting the f1nan-
cial affairs of each parish is being sue
cessfully adopted. The Sillon, as it Il,
called, is developing the work of the
press and of literature and the Catholic
papers are taking on a new lease or
life and increased vigor and prosper
ny. . .,e.
All of which bears out the state.
.nent a few months ago by writer in
"Blackwood's Magazine" who, in the
course of all article ON the situation in
France, remarked: "The battle (of
secularism) is not yet won. and
France, by the very violence Of her
suppression, has made reaction inev-
itable-the fires of resentment have
not been extinguished. They are the
more dangerous because they smolder.
On all sides, and in every case, there
are signs of discontent-above all,
men of moderate views and averag.
intellect arc incensed that they are no
longer permitted to think as they will
or to pray as seems good to their con-
science"
We now see this reaction coming
with leaps and bounds in Catholic
France. Bishops, priests and laity are
moving on to true independence in
closely formed and unbroken ranks.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-08-01

The Seattle market at the present
time is exceedingly we'll supplied with
fruit and fresh produce of all kinds
There has probably not been a time for
the last four or five years when there
has been such an abundance of farm
commodities offered to the consumer
with only a normal demand for consump-
ton. Dealers state that fruit and pro-
duce are quoted at such prices this year
that rich men and poor men alike can
we'll afford to buy fruit of all kind, both
for fresh consumption and canning. APP
pies, peaches, plums, apricots, berries
and all other fruit are in abundant sup
ply.
Buyers are said to be stocking up very
literally with the effect that fruit is
sold for at least 25 per cent less than
it brought this time last year. In case
of apples and peaches the price has been
reduced in even greater proportion.
The crops from local fields, especially
large and of excellent quality and the
Seattle market is exceedingly we'll sup
piled, not only from these districts, but
also from California.
While present prices do not allow as
great ii pfOul 10 FARMERS DIS Ill lOTIHeT
years, dealers believe that in the end
the present situation will result to the
benefit of all concerned. In previous
seasons, especially last year and the
year before, the high prices on apples,
peaches land other fruits made it impos-
sible for the poor man to purchase them
in quantities and as result, while the
demand was equal to the supply, fruit
became a luxury within the reach of
only those who are Well-to-do. AT pres
ent prices everybody can afford to buy
literally and the result will be that the
vast body of consumers will again get
ing fruits and consumption will be very
much stimulated thereby.
A few early apples have reached the
market from Wenatchee, Yakima and
Hood River consisting largely of red
and yellow Astrachans and other early
these districts are also a feature of the
market, but these consist largely of
AleXandrias and other poor varieties.
Crawford peaches are plentiful from
California, but have not yet commenced
to come in from the irrigated districts
of Washington.
Sweet potatoes from California are
on the market and Walla Walla onions
have commenced to arrive. Yakima and
Oregon onions are not yet available. The
potato market is now entirely supplied
by new crops and prices are greatly in
advance of a few months ago.
The poultry market is fairly firm,
spring chickens being little too liberal
in supply, with old hens getting scarcer
and demanding higher prices.
Veal is scarce. The warm weather is
cutting down shipments to a large ex-
tent, especially from Oregon and far
away points

TALKS WITH DEALERS.

The Poultry Market.-Miller Produce
Company reports a fairly firm condition
in the poultry market and state that
while spring chickens are coming in very
freely and the price is falling, the old
poultry is becoming Scarcer and the
time of year is approaching when the
prices on the two will meet. The de-
mand for ducks is very light and will
probably remain so all summer.
The Veal Market.-W. J. Ross & Com
pany reports the veal market as very
firm, shipments being light and the de-
mand being unusually brisk for this
time of the year. The warm weather
has made shipments from Oregon and
far-away points extremely hazardous,
and producers are not taking chances.
Shipments from nearby points are not
sufficient to supply the local demand,
and prices have grown firmer as a re-
suit.
Local Produce Market.-W. H. Jones
& Company report a considerable guam
tity of early peaches on the market
but state that the best peaches avail
able are still from California. In a
few weeks, however, they expect a large
shipment to be in from Wenatchee and
Yakima of Crawford peaches, and after
that time the California fruit will cease
to be a factor in the market. This firm
is receiving considerable shipments OF
onions from the Walla Walla country
but report that the crop from Yakima
and Oregon is not yet ready for the
market.
The Potato Market.-James A. Riley
reports that the local potato is begin
ming to arrive in abundance and the po-
tatoes of 1907 crop will soon be entirely
cleared up. New potatoes are bringing
fair prices, and Mr.. Riley states that, as
the crop this year is not as large as that
of last year, the prices will run cOnsid-
erabiy higher during the coming few
months He reports a good demand at
this season of the year and says he is in
position to handle some large shipments
for which he will be glad to pay cash.
Market Well suppied.-The Hull
Hamlet Company reports that the mar
ket is WEI. supplied with an abundance
of fruit and produce of every variety
and the prices rule from 20 to 80 per
cent lower than those of last year. They
believe that as a result of these lower
prices which places fruit within the
reach of poor people as well as the rich,
that consumption will be generally slim
ulated and that condition, while it may
seem hard on the producer at the pres
ent time, will result for their benefit in
the end.

While the Sun is a republican newspaper it IS not so hide-bound that it will refuse to accept demo- cratic, independent or any other legitimate political announce ments. It is usual in this sec ton of the country to accept all such announcements at so much per, and call attention to the au- nouncement of the candidate. Aside from the fact that news paper men in late years wear some clothes and eat occasionally, there is mighty little sense or decency in nasty morrow policy that prevents fairness to the whole people, and the editor would much rather have good staunch friends than political honors or riches.
