DOVER. Del. May 21.-with the Ger
tainty that the 1908 peach crop will be
a record-breaker and that luscious
peaches may have to run to waste in
the orchards, The farmers and fruit
growers are now awakening to the
serious turn taken in eruit transporta-
tion by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's order not to shelve their
freight cars. Without shelves in the
cars, the farmers must Go away with
all cheap, fragile baskets and pack the
fruit in heavy carriers that will pile
on top, tier by tier, Of themselves and
will Withstand the heavy weight and
jarring of travel.
The farmers. for the first time in
years, Will stand face to face with the
necessity of better water and canal

community in which they are not
wrought up to a high state of excite

in great abundance.

not buy luxuries unless they can get
them cheap.
3. That fruit cannot be sold cheap,

THE RuGiar NAME.

The Portland oregonian calls atten- tion to the great increase of railroad accidents caused by broken rails, and calls t ''protective tarift murder" That has a queer sound. coming from such Republican newspaper. though The Oregonian is sane on the tarfr matter. as a general thing.
 The appropriateness of the term used might not be apparent at first glance. but 1t fits like glove, and the expla- nation comes in regular succession. The accidents occur because the rails break; the rails break because they are of in- ferior quality. and they are of inferior quality because the tariR practically prohibits the importation of better rails from abroad, and as a consequence our protected manufacturers can sell an in- ferior rail to the roads at practically their own prices. Thus it vii be seen that the term used by The oregonian .s wholly appropriate and proper. That paper calls attention to the better con- ditions existing in former days when there was honest competition. and with fine irony remarks:
 The benefcent workings of our ad- mirable tariff system has put an end to all this competition, not only in re- gard to prices, but to quality as well. Has any one ever heard of a broken Columbia River Railroad, although big engines and heavy freight trains have been pounding over them for more broken -raii accidents Is due to the fact that a remarkably low freight rate from Europe and low prices for rails rails in England, where the competi- ton is so fierce that the putting out of rails that would break in from four ufacturer retiring from business for want of orders With matchless ma chinery. good ore. and wonderful fa- cilities. no one doubts for moment that Americans can turn out the best rails. but the greed of gain. fostered and encouraged by our tarin system, has destroyed all incentive for any from the consumers the greatest pos sible profit at the smallest cost
 And yet The oregonian still ciings to the party which is responsible TOT the system and to the administration which upholds 1t. It can look with practical indifference on this continu- ous protective .tarift murder" because 1t will not join the Democrats in their efforts to relieve the cOuntryS from the patent evils which it points out and condemns. but which it will not help to remove. Our tariff system will con- tinue to prevent competition, our man. ufacturers will continue to sell rotten rails: these rotten rails will continue to be used and those who trust themselves on the roads will fall victims to the spirit of cupidity and avarice which is fostered and sustained by "our admir- able tariH system" as The oregonian sarcastieally dubs it. There is little hone for relief from. "pFOtoetive tariR

DRUM KENNESS
 A Durable Disease
Eminent PhysIcians and Scientific Men Agree That it should Be
 Treated as Such.

Drunkenness Is a progressive dis ease; the moderate drinker Is not sat- isf1ed with two or three drinks a day, the craving for more and more be- comes irresistible as the disease ad- vances; the result is Chronic Alcohol ism.
 The treatment used successfully by thousands right in their own homes Is Orrine. It is a scientific cure for Drunkenness and has given such uni versal satisfactlon that it Is sold under a positive guarantee to effect a cure or your money will be refunded. This guarantee is given in good faith and Is carried out to the letter. Orrins Is not a new remedy; 1t has been sold by the leading druggists in every city for years. It has lifted tens of thous- ands from the depths to worthy man. hood and has the hearty endorsement of grateful men and women tn every State in the Union.
 Orrine No. 1 is the secret remedy: Orrine No. is for those willing to take the treatment. Either form costs 41.00. The guarantee is the same in either case. Write 10 The Orrine Co., washington. D.

WEDNESDAY, TnBnuARr ss, 1908.

It seems that under the plea of an educational campaign, for which it is understood the State foots the ex- penses. the Governor is getting off his same old speech with enconium of him. self and his Legislature thrown in. If the Commission discharges its duty properly, it will visit the various local files competing for the high schools to which the State is to pay annually 3D. 900, and make decision between them. They are, of course. in line with their duty when they talk up education, but it is not right for the Governor or any body else to make political stump speeches for the benefit of himself or some selected referee. The people are hnding out that the Governor says two words about education and ten for him. self and his anti-railroad policies.

Elihu Vedder .

EIIhu Vedder. the venerable artist. mural painter and modeler. was born in New York. February 2s, 1886 After studying art for a time in New York he went to Paris in 1856 and studied under Picot. The next four years were passed in Italy. where he studied the work of the old masters. In 1881 MT. Vedder returned to the United States and remained for four years. He then went abroad again and has since re- Inained a resident of Rome. except for occasional visits to AneFic. MT. We'd der is spoken of as the most typical American artist transplanted to the Eternal City. While remaining thor oughIy American in manner of speech and feeling. he has adopted many Ro- man ideas and habits. Possibly the artists best known work consists of his illustrations of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyann, which he produced in 1884 Mir. Vedder also did i've decora- tive panels and the mosaic Minerva in the new Congressional Library at Washington. As another proof of his versatility the artist has recently com pleted two volumes containing prose, verses and illustrs tions. together with recollections of his artistic life in America. Spain. Germany and Italy.

Mir. Gompers has a strange Idea of a trust. For instance in disputing the correctness of the Supreme Court de- cision in the hatters' case, he holds that there cannot be a trust in some- thing which is not produced" What would he call the iron clad agreement in Kentucky where holders of tobacco resolve not tc plant an acre until some- time in the future. Here is a move ment to prevent production in order to get better prices for what has already been produced. In the same way cot ton mills and other factories with stocks on hand can create a trust for bigger prices by refusing to produce until after a fixed period.

GIVING n ro HrM STRAIGHT.

The Presidents recent letter suggest ing an investisaticn of the business and earnings of railroads before the proposed reduction of wages be made. has called forth quite an array of crit icism and condemnation. and much of 1t comes from his own party newspa- pers. The Kansas City Journal. for example. thinks the proposed investi- sation would have the merit of wis dom if 1t stood alone or was part of . policy of entire fairness toward the railroads. It is seriously discounted. however. by the inevitable suspicion that the case has been decided already, that any investigation would be mere perfunctofy inquiry. and especially by the fact that if the action which made reductions of wages necessary had been based Aoh equitable investigation, there would now be no need for such an in- quiry The legislation. national and state, which frightened first foreign and then domestic capital. which closed all the avenues of credit and arbitrarily took one-third of the pas- senser revenues of the roads away. was not enacted after any such inves- tieation as the President suggests. Governor Hughes of New York. who now ''indorses" Mir. Roosevelt's poli- cies so unreservediy. was the only Gov srnor who had the courage to veto such law on the ground that it had been passed without due scrutiny of the facts in the case.
 Tt is the idiest nonsense to proceed on the assumption that the receipts from passenger trafiic may be reduced one-third, supplemented as it is by Legislation regulating freight rates and imposing ali manner of expensive and onerous conditions upon the roads in the matter of complying with fan. tastic rulings of state railroad eommis- sioners. without corresponding reduc- tions in operating expenses on tine part of the roads. With l5o,0oo idle freight cars on the sidetracks. the situation musts sooner or later reach the point where wages must be reduced. That point has been reached. in the opinion of many intelligent railroad men. Yet at this late day, after. such irreparable mischief has been done, the railroads are met with the suggestion of an 'in- vestigation."
 If a Federal or State law had been psssed directly instead of indirectly reducing wages of railroad employees the, country. would have been on the borders of revolution in a month. But state, leRislatures did not hesitate to recixiessiy reduce revenues. on which wages must necessarily be based in a controlling degree. There is little use in investigating things that are patent on their face.'
 It Is one of Rooseveit's failings that he too often fires his gun too soon or too late to hit the mark. He has an unfortunate habit of going ofr half cooked" as the saying is, and thus not only putting in where he. has no husi- ness. but where he can do no good. He has another unfortunate habit. as in this case, of waiting too long and then adding to the trouble already existing. The editorial in The Journal. quoted above. coming from a Republican or- gan. is we'll worth reading right now.
