ary banquet in the Hall of the Doges

terfere with the work of the state ed
itorial associations" said Arthur Hook
er, secretary of the Spokane Press
Committee, but is designed to be of
more direct benefit to the various COM
and the district as a whole
than any similar association possibly
could be- We expect to have the CO.

interest of greater Inland Empire"

The Oregonian is puzzled over the
facts that California oranges are sell

are in New York, and Oregon apples
are bringing more in the Portland mar

the home folks generally get 'culls" at
that.

A cruel injustice it is indeed to seek
to array the poor against the rich; but
if the editors of great newspapers and
popular magazines lack the capacity to
discriminate between the rich, as such,
and the promoters and benehciaries of
nefarious schemes for wanton exploita-
ton of the public, then what wonder
that the mass of their readers fall into
the same ditch with them?

There is always a loud outcry when
tariff on coffee and tea is suggested,
but the American people continue to pay
without murmur a tariff on sugar for
the benefit of the sugar trust, and while
there are many people who do not use
either tea or coffee there are none who
do not use sugar in some form or
other. Whenever a great trust wants
a tax on coffee the tax will be voted
by a subservient congress "in the in
terest of American labor Great hum

The swindled farmers have the as
surance of Roy NJ Wright that he will
return early in May to make settlement,
but as it is claimed he defrauded them
of some forty thousand dollars and he
states that he can be legally held for
only $500, there will not be any great
rejoicing at his return, unless he takes
up his abode in the stone structure east
of the city

And, pray, what does it signify that
"the rich man of today was the poor
man of few years ago'" Is not that
verv circumstance a symptom of the
disease complained of? Is the rapid
amassing of individual fortunes an in
dication OF universal equality Of oppor-
tunity. to take advantage of which will
make millionaires of us all' He who
imagines it, belongs in the kindergarten
department of the economics school.
And here is kindergarten lesson !;
By how much would it be possible for
the employers of the country to advance
the wages of their worlmen, with safety
to the stability of businessP Would it
be sufficient to enable the most product
i've loborer or mechanic of today to be-
come thereby the rich man of a few
years hence?
Employers engaged in competitive
business will aver that no considerable
advance can be made in wages without
corresponding increase in the prices

The city council is on the right track
in proposing to pay the city treasurer
reasonable salary and prescribing
some duties to be performed to earn
the same, and thus to stop the graft
enjoyed by the banks in obtaining the
use of the city's money at a nominal
expense. The city should draw inter

CONFERENCE Hello At OCEAN VIEW
Fifteen Members of Upper Branch
of Virginia General Assembly, Who
Are Sure of Swinging Majority
Discuss Situation and Decide In.
formally That Status of Liquor in
Virginia Shall Remain Unchanged

That there shall be no legislation
affecting the status of liquor in Vir-
ginia during the next session of the
general assembly is an understanding
existing among a sufficient number
OF members of the senate to make II
practically certain that any effort to
secure the enactment Oh such leSlsia-
ton will be in vain.
This statement is based upon facts
that have been learned here in regard
to a recent conference held by fifteen
or mere members of the Senate at Ocean
view.
Unanimous Agreement.
Details of this conference are not
known, for the senators are not talking
on the subject for publication. 1t IS
fact, however, that the senators gath
cred informally and spent sometime
discussing affairs in general, and, while
liquor question in particular. and, while
no pledges were asked for or given,
ii is said that ii was unanimously
agreed that the status of the liquor
situation shall remain unchanged as
far as the general assembly is concern
ed. Most of the senators expressed
themselves as being well satisfied with
the manner in which the SAFE of liquor
is regulated in the State at this time.
"Stand-pat" Majority Assured.
There are forty members of the
senate, and the affairs Of the body are
conducted by the thirtysix Democratic
members. 1t is stated that there are
enough members in addition to those
who participated in the Ocean View
conference opposed to any tampering
with the liquor question by the assem-
bly, at the next session to insure the
ability of the conferees to produce a
''standpat" majority, regardless OF
wha: may be the result of the Suber-
Material election, and without refer
ence to what happens in the house OF
delegates.
This information is of peculiar in
terest just at this time. in view OF the
fact that Rev. James Cannon, Jr., sup
erintendent of the Virginia Anti-Saloon
League, issued an official statement
yesterday concerning the result of the
local option election in Bristol In
which he said that the wet" victory
will greatly hasten the demand in the
Southwest for a vote on Statewide
prohibition.
Had Chance Last Year.
During the last session of the legis-
lature It was rather generally believ-
ed tina; If the anti-saloon leaders cared
TO press the fight they could put
through a bill providing for vote on
Statewide prohibition. Members Of
the senate stated this as a fact at
the time. Whether OF not this was SO.
neither State wide prohibition CT any
thing else having to do with the liquor
question is going to have a chance In
the general assembly during the com
ing session. unless numerous senators
change their minds
As everybody Knows. the senate
must concur before an action taken
BY the house is effective. therefore
~standpat- senate means a stand
rat general assembly.
