not try a fricassee? 1t is a favorite

oils Say Oregon Pears and
Apples Are Best.

From distant London where prod
ucts from all parts Of the world must
compete for supremacy comes ad-
ditional assurance that Oregon fruit
has found place in the English
market not yet attained by fruit from
any section on the globe. The COM
mission men, the consumers and the
public in general have nothing but
good words for Oregon apples and
Oregon pears and judging from the
prices paid the fame of the fruit has
reached so many consumers that the
demand far exceeds the supply.
c. G. Vincent, connected with the
Oregon Agricultural college and now
stationed In this section for the pur-
pose Of carrying on number OF
pollination experiments, has received
a letter from A. G. Boquet. formerly
of Oregon but now of London, Eng.

utation Oregon fruit has gained In
the London market. Mr.. Boquet
writes as follows:

A Bluff in Wheat

Our monopOlistic friend, Patten, OF Chi
cago. Affects 10 believe that the removal
OF the duty on wheat would not hurt his
corner Of that commodity. 'I en- IN ia
vor OF removing Il right now" he says.
because we will have to do It inside OF
ten years at any rate. II would not anect
the price OF wheat a penny. for the mar
kets OF the world are on a parity right
now"
Mere bluff. Ike most Of the talk we
are hearing from this newest Napoleon
Of finance. The markets OF the world
may be on a parity. but there is al OBJ
stacle. in the shape OF the tariff. TO the
free flow OF Canadian wheat TO the Amer
lean side. Consequently, Mr.. Pattea does
not have 10 reckon with the Canadian
supply. but only with that in our own
boundaries. He is protected in hts COM
bination. just as all the other trusts are
protected. Remove that protection, and
he would have 10 corner the Canadian
market as well as our own.
But we have no notion that Congress
will reduce OF remove the wheat duty
It IS on exactly the same plane as other
protective duties. all OF which tend to In
crease the domestic price by reserving
the home market 10 domestic producers.
When these producers combine they have
the consumer al their mercy. Just as
Patten has at this instant. His opera
tons are a striking Illustration Of the
way the protective tariff works 10 support
monopoly and oppression Of the consumer.
II our legislators really wanted TO stop
the Chicago gamble. they would repeal
the wheat duty to-day. But they win not
DO 1t. They prefer to go clean around
the barn to find some impossible way CT
preventing corners.

AUTOMOBILE RESPONSIBILITY.
Law in the Making Holding Owners
TO Account.


The action OF a jury yesterday in rem
dering a verdict for Sle00 against an
automobile owner who was not in the car
az the time OF the accident. is not such
an extension OF the rule in these matters
as seems 20 be supposed. II Is the gen
eraI rule that al employer is liable for
injuries caused by his er1ploye when act
ing withing the scope OF his employment.
II matters not that the employer at the
time does not happen to be with the en-
plOye. II the employe Is about the en-
ployer's business the latter is liable Just
the same. The Importance OF this verdict
should not be minimized. however. A
jury has had the backbone to make q
strict application OF the law-an applica-
tiOn which may become a fruitful exam
pie 70 others.
Taken with the instruction recently
delivered to the grand Jury by Judge
Swami. in which that body was informed
that the man who employs a chauffeur
knowing him 10 be reckless may be pre-
sumed 10 intend the ordinary and usual
results OF the chauffeur acts. II is ap-
parent that the lower courts are laying
the foundation for substantial improve
nent !n the administration OF the law.
II upheld by the higher courts a long
stride will have been made toward the
elimination OF automobile casualties
Il can be argued. however. that the
statutes themselves must be amended
end extended before the responsibility OF
responsible persons becomes as effective
a deterrent as il is capable OF becoming.
An automobile Is not a thing which a
chauffeur can easily take away and use
without HIS employer knowing It. Hence,
Il would impose no unreasonable burden
IL the owner were held responsible for It's
Use at all times and seasons except
when It Is stolen from him. II the
owner did not take very careful
precautions to prevent his machine being
used without his knowledge or consent,
implied consent might not unreasonab bly,
be imputed 10 him, and he be held for all
the damages that might result With a
strict enforcement OF the rule concerning
responsibility Of the owner when the
chauffeur acts within the scope OF his
employment. and with something OF an
extension OF shat rule. the automobile
evil would almost correct itself.

Aiicro-organic Terrors.

The New York Press has grown some
what weary OF the menace Of the microbes

at least, not TO worry unnecessarily about
Them. The Press takes the position that
Dne might Just as well be gobbled Up by

There is a large measure Of common
sense IN the Press animadversions in re-
spect OF these admitted pests. Microbes
are unquestionGbly minute citizens o:
most undesirable qualifications. We have
no earthly use for them. and we are al
ways willing to join in a crusade against
them. Through the discovery Of their ex-
5stence, however. much has been brought
TO pass for the benefit OF the human race.
Life has been made more pleasant: dis
ease less frequent. More than all that
we have been taught how TO guard agains;
physical ailments, which is infinitely bet
ter than being told how to get well after
we are sick
But microbes have been used a trihe
beyond the limit, on occasions, as scare
crows. This way OF being afraid to open
tho door for fear there may be million
microbes or so on the knob. or shying
at the scent Of a spring violet for fear a
malicious army OF microbes may infest
its petals is silly. and ought not to be
encouraged. Another thing we have nc
patience with is the effort 10 suppress en-
tirely the kissing OF babies-even by their
own mothers. Indiscriminate kissing oi
