THE TIME FOR ACTION.

"Whom the Gods wish to Destroy they first
make mad"
Over, and over again has this ancient proverb
been demonstrated. 1t was exemp1hed IN the
course of events that sent refugees from the Eu-
ropean continent to establish and build up the
industrial supremacy of England. 1t was shown
in the policy that forced men to bid fareWell
to native lands and establish the American col
OnieS 1t was shown by the queen VINO Daue
her son "Be king, George! Be King!' and forced
the Revolutionary war.
It was shown in the course OF growth and
domination by the slavery extensionists tnat
terminated their career with the civil war. 1t
was shown by the factory owners of New Eng
land until they were checkmated by lndustrlal
growth in the New South.
This year has seen reaction against other ar
rogant powers. The "rich mans panic has
forced the question of security, for depOS1torS 10
the front. The heartless grab-all policy of East
ern wool-dealers has forced action on the part
of Western woolproducers whereby the Eastern
wool barons will never again control the hand
ling and prices of Western WOOL for it will hence
forth be centralized and sold to highest bidders.
The express companies who aimed to grab the
lions share of Western fruit proceeds have seen
their patronage fade away to minor quantity
compared with previous years.
In all the movements for freedom and progress
the dominant force has gained it's final success
by intelligent organization and cooperation.
When body of people becomes fired by indigna-
ton and fused by determination, they form an ire
sistble force that carries forward the march or
justice and righteousness and enforces the prog
ress of civilization.

POSTAGE AND PARCELS POST.

An order has been issued by the Postmaster Gen
era putting into effect the postage rate of cents
per ounce, applicable to letters mailed in this coun-
try for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. 1t will therefore cost just the same post
age whether one sends drop letter in a city with
carriers to man in the next block or to another
six thousand miles away.
Again: The publisher of The Ranch other
similar periodical paper send it by mail at the
pound postage rates to subscribers in the farthest
corner of the United States but if he wishes to
send it to subscriber in the city of publication

A PLEA FOR HOME PRODUCTS.

It is certainly far from pleasing to everyone in
terested in the development of the varied re-
sources of this state to find that Eastern contrac
tors are using Eastern stone in the construction
of many of our public buildings, instead OF using
the products of Washington quarries, which would
in every way meet all the requirements. The last
case of this kind to come before the attention OF
local quarrymen and builders was the Tacoma
Federal building, where Bedford limestone is be-
ing used instead of Tenino sandstone The Tenino
product would have been in every way acceptable
to the people, for whom this structure is being
built and there seems to be no adequate reason
for bringing the material all the way across the
country at great cost for transportation when
something as good could have been obtained with
in the state A decent regard for the develop
ment of our own industries ought to impel officials
who secure appropriations for these buildings to
see that the specifications call for the use of our
own materials so far as possible. 1t is the pro-

CORPORATE RAPACITY.
Greed often Overshoots Itself.

Greed often Overshoots Itself.
This old saying is illustrated in the course pur-
sued by of the express companies in their
charges for shipping fruit. l know that the
Northern Express Company has in the past reap
ed rich harvest in shipping fresh fruits from
the Yakima valley. Our frm-F Walden & Sons
have during the past twelve years, paid this
company thousands of dollars for carrying our
peaches, pears plums, prunes, aprcots and early
apples to the markets both east and west we
have never been GROWERS but have spoken well
of the company. But cannot continue to do
business under it's present rates and classification.
The company claims that it has not raised the
rates, but this statement in some cases is not
true But the chief of our complaint is it's
classification The company claims that it bills
fruits out at actual weight. This is not true
in cases. express bills in my possess
sion will show The company may say that it
can not handle fruits at the old rates That
is all tOmmyrOt.
When it comes to peaches the charges are
prohibitive. We can't pay them and we won't
pay them. We shipped years high
5000 boxes by express; this year will ship
none. What we doing other growers do
ing. Can the express company afford to kill its
business in shipping fresh fruits? That is
question for the company to answer, not us. We
not do business that way, and have quit.
But some one may ask, What can you do in
such cases? We combine and ship in
load lots; we can sell to dealer at our station
and he can ship in carload lots. Both these
methods are now in use.
The above extracts from Mr.. Waden's article
in the issue of September 1, show that cit is
condition that confronts" the fruit growers of the
Pacific Northwest, and mot theory" The con-
dition has been intensified since then by the filing
of advanced freight rates on fruit shipments by

THE FAIR SEASON.

Agricultural fairs are now in full swing They
have had than half a century of effort to
promote better type of agriculture, and have
fully proven their merit. There is other meth

which makes the results of intelligent effort Wis

eye. Our live stock and farm implements are
noteworthy instances of progress due to long
ries of agricultural fairs. At least day should

A recent report of the Department of Commerce

State Grain Inspector John w Arrasmith has
estimated the wheat yield of Washington at

grain is netting the growers several cents per
bushel above its average price 1t is also reported
that wheat is much better for milling this season
than that grown in the state last season. While

Indianapolis, Ind, June 30-Coljsid-
cradle interest is being taken here in
the plan emanating from Richmond
business men, for the organization of
a state body composed of commercial
clubs. The Indianapolis Commercial
club has already sanctioned such a
scheme, and is ready to select repre-
sentatives to such meeting when the
Richmond club shall suggest the date,
which it is thought should be some
time in September. r. G. Mcclure.
secretary of the Indianapolis CONNER
cial club, had this to say to your cor
respondent regarding the scheme for
the organization of a state body of
commercial clubs:
There would be a decided advan-
tage in an annual or biennial meeting
of the commercial clubs of Indiana. AS
the situation stands at present, each
commercial club in the different cities
of the state looks chiefly to the one
thing of advancing the interests of it's
particular city. This is, of course. the
chief purpose,-the one purpose. in
fact-of such organizations, and is all
right as far as it goes. But there are
larger things we'll worth striving for.
In the matter of legislation, much
more could be accomplished with the
backing of every commercial club in
the state, than could be hoped for with
the clubs acting independently. The
commercial club of Indianapolis has
done much for the city and has been
one of the chief factors in bringing
about legislation particularly desired
for the capital city and there is no rea-
son why needful legislation, applica-
BILE to all cities of Indiana, should not
be brought about quite as promptly
and successfully when all the CONNER
cial bodies Of the state act as a unit.
The move begun by the Richmond
commercial club deserves success, and
there seems little doubt that the call
for general meeting Of such clubs
will meet with hearty response. So
long as there is identity of interests as
relates to the cities of Indiana, there
will be plenty of argument in favor of
general organization and am heart
lily in favor of the Richmond plan"

Washington. d. c., June 30.-Secre-
tary Taft still has everybody guess
ing as to the Craftsmanship of the re-
publican national committee and the
identity of the man who will manage
his campaign for the presidency.
Moreover, everything indicates that
he is doing some specializing himself,
for there is no sign to convince one
that he has made up his mind. unless
it be tentatively. On Wednesday he
will have conference with Arthur I.
Vorys, of Columbus, one of his manag-
ers during his canvass for the nomin-
alton, and with Frank III. Hitchcock,
his associate manager. At hat meet
ing the Craftsmanship matter will be
discussed.

Bryan's Running Mate This
Year Must Be a Man in
Sympathy With His Views,
1t Is Announced.
FRIENDS OF GRAY
SEEM DETERMINED.
Although the Famous Jurist Is
Mentioned for Second Place
His Friends Say He Must
Head the Ticket.

Lincoln Neb., June 30-Loyalty to
their leader rather than geographical
location is to govern the choice of a
vice president candidate at the demo-
cratic national convention in Denver.
This is the slogan of Judge w. w.
Black, of Everett, Wash, a national
delegate from his state and of every
party worker or captain who has come
to Lincoln for pre-convention visit
with the Nebraska commoner who is
the head of the ticket.
Judge Black was closeted with Mr..
Bryan for half hour at Fairview. Af-
terwards the Washington jurist made
the following significant utterance:
Whoever is nominated for vice
president must be a straight and out
Bryan man. His geographical loca-
tion is not so important as who he is
and what he stands for. John w.
Kern, of Indiana, would be such a cam
didate and, Of course, there are 9TH
ers who would fill the bill. Personally
have had no choice for the vice pres
idency up to this time and the Wash
ington state delegation is not commit
ted to any one, but will support a man
who is known to be in sympathy with
the things for which Bryan stands.
AN anti-injunction plank will GER
tainly be placed in the Denver plat
form" said the Washington man, "and
it will mean something. While l am

obtained it he will be untrustworthy
afterward. Just how far restrictive
legislation should go l am not pre-
to issue restraining orders and enforce
them for an indefinite time should not
be vested in a magistrate who may be
prejudiced.
I'm my own experience on the
bench l have granted restraining ord

short time in each case and with prop
er provision for speedy hearing. At
this time l can recall no instance
