Where is disadvantage in own
ing and partially cultiyating so
much land!
What do you think of this posi-
ton? Suppose that every land
owner in the parish should sell
one-half of his land to new sch
tier. Can you dispute that the
one.half that is retained would at
once advance to the original price
of the whole? Then suppose you
do the same work and make the
same expenditures in cultivatlng
that part retained. Can you dis
pute that you will receive and
harvest the same amount of a
crop that you did on the original
whole? How many farmers in
this parish have faith in this
kind of reasoning How many
have tried it?

Dr.. J. Arthur Goodwin, presi.

son to a number of cases in diff
fprent sections of the State,
where persons who are not quail

which prohibits the practice of
veterinary medicine without a

This is not all the fight however.
During the next thirty days the
battle must be won by the farm
ers or the weevil, and with a lit
tie effort, the farmer should be
the victor. In Texas, we paid
little children to pick the weeVll
from young cotton, paying them
a stated amount per hundred,
and we would then 60 over the
field and pick up the fallen
squares and burn them, thus
preventing the eggs contained
therein from Matching and hold
ing down the increase OF the pest
On one plantation where we
followed this method, we picked

ed of all stalks and these burned.
The ground should be thorough
ly plowed, and the ditch banks
kept clean. During the next
thirty days the farmers should
destroy as many weevils as pos
sible, and every fallen square
should be picked up and burned.
This will turn the tide of battle
in favor of the farmer. :"

FaIibility of Courts.

Ebert Hubbard;
If there are shortcomings in
political administrations, there
are also errors in judicial admin
trations.
To think of the courts as in.
capable of a lapse is on a par
with the exploded theory that
the King can do no wrong.
In law, the Judge is delegated
to act for the King.
With US, the courts act for the
people. And as the people are
at times wrong, so may judges
also be wrong.
1t is ludicrous for judges to
set up the cry that the courts
must not be criticized by the
people.
Moreover, it is a most strange
and evil notion.
The courts must be watched,
criticized, regulated and restrain
ed by public opinion.
Free criticism is the one safe
guard against an arrogant, slip
shOd and dishonest bench.
For its own good, a court
should welcome criticism, moi
repress it.
We abide by the decision o.
our courts, but the man whC
thinks he has been wrOnged by
a court, should have the priv
lege of saying so.

81 find," said Mr. Evans, that
a wrong impression as to the APP !
pearance of the weevil prevails
here. They imagine that be-
cause the Department advises
the early planting of cotton, that
they mean that a crop can be
made and gathered before the
weevil appears. This is a mis-
take. We recommend the plant
ing of early cotton not for the
reason that the cotton will ma
ture and be gathered before the
weevil appears, but for the rea-
son that it can be gathered be-
fore the third or fourth genera
ton appear.
"These weevils in about August
are so numerous, that it is then
that they do damage. Weevlls
appear so early, so much so that
in the BrazOs bottoms in Texas,
| have seen them as early as
February, but with proper pre-
cautions and efforts, the people
can raise large crops of cotton
despite the weevil." Our repre-
sentative then asked Mr.. Evans
his opinion in reference to the
poisoning method. Mr.. Evans
said: poisoning is all right as
far as it goes. | believe that
with the favorable weather con-
ditions which have been prevail
ing, that the poison has worked
all right, it has to a certain ex'
tent prevented the rapid mutt
plication of the weevil, and it
will work all right until the cot
ton is squared. The poison thee,

The signs of the times indicate
that the effects of the panic of
1907 have about passed into his
tory, and that there will soon be
prosperity prevailing throughout
these broad United States.
Reports from the Eastern and
Northern States show that these
sections have already recovered
and that business is booming
once more as in the days pre-
ceding the recent crash.
While it has taken the South
somewhat longer to recover than
it has the North and East, there
is now very positive indication
that this section will come into
its own, and enjoy the great
measure of prosperity which its
ample resources justify.

beggar at the Kings gate, has become
the Lord Chamberlain of the Palace,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
1t was one of the remarkable events
o. these strange new times that the
British Government recently feasted
and coveted the favor of fifty news
paper men, brought to London from
the ends of the empire to review the
land and naval forces and assess the
values of imperial achievement
Thus the empire does obeisance to
the press And Imperialism, in putting
on its good clothes to submit itself to
the scrutiny of journalists, confesses
that the power Of public print is
greater than all the armaments.
The press has been called the
fourth estate" But the saying Is
foolish. The press stands for no es-
tate at all-no class, no special in
terest.
It's power is the power of self-er-
facement-of humility.
1t does not speak for itself, but for
its sovereign.
1t is the Lord Chamberlain Of the
palace, but the palace is the peoples.
The newspaper is the most subtle
and spiritual of alr mechanisms.
In its daily pulsations it creates a
sacramental union among a myriad
separate spirits-a communism of the
intellect that puts the passion of ma
jcrities behind the projects of the most
Ineligible wills.
The press is the university of the
people-the public school of the grown
men-where all are teachers and
learners.
The newspaper, in the vast reticu-
lation of their influence, are weaving
the organic filaments of a new social
order-a society that shall be govern
ed not by the superstition, but by sci
ence; not by fear, but by faith.
The English Government-bewilder-
ed with the complexity of its problems
and beset by swords, and the shad-
ows of swords-instinctiv turns for
reinsurance to the power that excels
all social forces in persistence and con-
stancy-and that stands nearest the
thought Of the people.

WE SHALL SEE.

Seldom if ever has a man become
mayor. of Portland under more inter-
esting circumstances than those sur
rounding Joe Simon's entrance into
office yesterday.
At this time the city of Portland is
growing rapidly and its progress en-
sures its position as one of the great
commercial centers of the west. There
fore it is in need of strong, broad
minded municipal administration.
Such an administration Portland had
under Mayor Lane, despite the many
censures that have been heaped upon
that retiring official.
1t is in the power of Mayor Simon
to do much for Portland and to in
directly help the state. On the other
hand he may take a course that will
work to exactly the opposite end.
Portland is the political center of the
state and just at this time the eyes OF
the people Of the state are watching
affairs down there very closely. The
temperance of Simon in the politi-
cal field has aroused interest and
many are wondering what this admin
istration will mean. 1t is plain that
forces are at work with view to un-
doing the direct primary law and the
initiative and referendum. There are
politicians who would like to see the
pendulum swing completely back to
the old system of party machines and
boss rule. Whether or not Joe Simon
shares in this desire and will use his
position as mayor of Portland to help
in the attempt to undo the present
system of actual government by the
people remains to be seen.

WHY BREAD Is DEAR.

The demand is greater than the
supply We have reached the end Of
our virgin wheat land; and our yields
are shrinking while our population
is increasing. That is where con-
servation touches us practically; but
we need not worry Nature is going
to take care of things. Necessity will
punish us and remedy matters in her
own stern way, if we do not mend
our methods. When wheat does not
average so much. an acre, is It not
worth raising. Now consider a mo-
ment where this trend of things is
landing us. Do you know how long
it took England to mend her meth
ods-to raise her averages from II
and Is to 25 and 80 and 40 bushels an
acre? 1t took her almost so years.
In so years, what population will we
have to feed? And We have not even
begun to mend methods. 1t is the su
premely big question of the day.
Shall we act now. and save ourselves
national disaster, or wait till neces-
sity compels us-and then act? Com
pare agricultural interests to any
other national interests today What
were the total returns from the farms
of the United States last year? ST.
900, 100000, Compare that to the re-
turns from the forests-$1,250 1000;
and our farm averages are not a
third of what they ought to be, of
what they could be made by simple
rational methods. Other countries
have trebled and quadrupled their
yield So could we.-Outing Maga-
zine.

KEEP PROGRESSING.

It is the tendency of mankind to
work along lines of least resistance
But the big rewards are not for those
who follow the easy paths. They are
for the hardy souls who have the en-
ergy and the courage to strike out up
on roads that have not been beaten
by the travel of the pack.
The reclamation of sagebrush des-
erts and the cultivation of farms in
the dry land sections of the west Is
work that does not appeal to weak
lings and idlers. So it occurs that
there are few such people in eastern
Oregon.
The men and women who are now
making the deserts of this county
bloom with life and the men and wo-
men who live upon the wheat farms
OF Umatilla county are just a little
above the average of humanity. They
are people who are not afraid to
work. to endure a few temporary
hardships. if necessary, and who are
willing to take a chance" They have
faith in the possibilities of the coun'
try and know that If the proper work
Is done the rewards win be forth
coming.
At this time the work in the irri-
gated sections Of the county has only
been well started. The same may al
so be said Of the non-irrigable farm
ing sections Of the county, for it can.
not be denied that at this time the
land is not being farmed to the maxi
mum. Within the next few years
Umatilla county will go forward i'm
mensely in the development of its
agricultural resources. 1t will not be
many years until the country to the
westward will be land of orchards
and gardens studded everywhere with
pretty little homes. People now liv-
ing will also see the day when high
er state Of agriculture will prevail
throughout the wheat section and
there will be more families in the
country than at present. There viii
be more and better country homes ant
the farmers viii make more money
per acre than they do now. Then viii
Pendleton and the other towns Of thii
county go forward as they have nevei
advanced before.
What the people Of this county

to do most Of all is to remember tina
the country has not been fully de

their peace.
