Tacoma Ledger: The story of strife
in the Washington Woman Suffrage
association at its state convention
when a Spokane delegate was unseat-
ed is for the most part understand
able. One feature Of it, however, may
be somewhat mystifying. David c,
Coates, a socialist editor of Spokane,
occupied a position in the verbal bat
tie that one might suppose belonged
exclusively to women. Why, under
the circumstances, should a man force
himself to the front? And why should
he be present at all?
1t was very ungallant on the part
of Coates, who was almost the only
man in the convention hall, even to
intimate that women should not hiss
1t may not be a violation of the sur
fragette constitution for man to par
ticipate with meek propriety in the
proceedings of convention, but a
man who attempts to sway the pro-
ceedngs as did Coates and when cor
nered hides cowardly behind a state
ment that he is powerless among la
dies to reply to Kisses deserves to have
his hair pulled and to be led out of the
hall by the ear.

DIR. HALE AND MRS. TYLER.

At the approach of his eightieth
birthday shortly after his retirement
from his pastorate in Boston, and a
year before he was made chaplain OF
the senate, DR.. Hale visited Wash
ington and was invited to luncheon at
the White House. He had not been IN
that historic building for perhaps a
year or two: and while waiting for the
President to appear he entertained the
present writer with some of those de-
lightful recolections which made his
conversation always charming and
noteworthy. He spoke of Washington
as it was in 1910. He had been inter-
ested in the political campaign of that
year, which resulted in the election or
Harrison and Tyler.
Happening to lift his eyes, in the
room where he was waiting, to the
portraits of President Tyler and Mrs.
Tyler, he recalled the time when it
was his custom to drop in very often
in the afternoon to have a cup of tea
with the lady of the White House.
This was in 1871, Harrison having
died a week after his Inauguration in
March of that year DR.. Hale's pic
ture of the pleasant simplicity of life
at the White House when he was Il
Washington correspondent, siXty-eight
years ago, was as detailed and vivid

will Increase until it overshadows

will increase until 1t overshadows
cereals
What irrigation and fruit have
done for the Great state Of California
they are doing for the Northwest, this
being evidenced by the great rapidity
of settlement noted in Oregon and
Washington, where the population has
more than doubled in the last eight
years, With the increase in popula>
ton, comes necessarily, not only a
decrease in the wheat area, but also
an increase in home consumption, thus
lessening the supply furnished the
outside world from the surplus.
"These are the conditions to be
found today in the empire lying on
the western coast of the United States,
from British Columbia to Mexico.
These conditions are changing with
each passing year, and the day is not
far distant when all of the grain
raised in that vast territory will be
consumed at home and the world will
be called upon to supply deficiency"
The statement that the day will
come when all the wheat of the west
will be consumed at home sounds un-
reasonable. However it must be con-
sidered that as the population of the
west increases, and it will increase
greatly in the coming years, the eon>
suming capacity will be made great
er while the production of wheat will
be diminished.
In his statement that the fruit out
put of the northwest will exceed the
grain output the writer is undoubt-
edly correct. When the various irrl-
CATION projects, governmental and
private, are fully developed the north
west will produce far more than
$45, 100000 worth of fruit annually,
The day is coming when Umatilla
county, now famed as the banner
wheat county of this state, will be
known more for the fruit it raises
than for its cereal crops.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO EARTH.

The earth and all its inhabitants
are doomed inevitably to destruction,
according to Professor Percival Low
ELL who declares that one of four
possible fates awaits this planet and
everything on it. tramp star might
strike the earth. he says, and grind
it and its people to powder, or ride
full tilt into the SUM- when the earth's
living creatures would be scorched to
death. Tidal friction, by its gradually
retarding force, may paralyze the
earth's motion so that one side of
the globe would be eternally baked
by the sun and the other side forever
trapped. This has already happened
to Mercury and Venus.
BY the loss of all water and air
through depletion or absorption the
earth may become a dry, desiccated
mummy of planet, wandering life
less through space. Mercury, again,
is an example of this, and so is the
moon. The most sure death of ALL
however, as depicted by Professor
Lowell, is the decay and freezing Of
the sun, which is certain to occur
some time. When the last flicker is
extinct that gigantic ball, bereft of all
radiance and warmth, and its retinue
of inert, dark tramps, among them
the earth will drift about awaiting
collision with some other planetary
derelict, which would mean at once
destruction and a new birth.-B0ston

as If he were portraying something
that had happened the day before.
But this was not the end of Dr.
Hales "reminiscences of Mrs. Tyler
apropois OF the portrait hanging or
the wall before him. Twenty years
later, in 1861, he was attached to the
personal staff of General Benjamin r.
Butler, of Massachusetts,, in the ca
pacity of secretary, and had charge
of General Buffers correspondence.
One day he received letter from an
irate lady complaining that the Fed
eral troops were milking the cows on
her plantation: The lady proved to be
Mrs. Tyler, widow of the former rres-
ident. who had been kind to the youth
full Hale at Washington in the early
forties. OF course, DR.. Hale was glad
to follow General Buffers instructions,
and not only to express regret, but to
give Mrs. Tyder every assurance that
her plantation should be unmolested

KNELL OF THE WEED.

Long and earnestly have the ex-
perts Of the department of agricul-
ture been striving to find some means
OF eradicating the weed, other than
by grubbing or pulling 1t up, and
news comes from North Dakota that
the fight has been won-at least over
the wild mustard, the Canada thistle,
the dandelion and many other similar
pet denominations Of people who till
the ground for a living.
Spraying the territory affected with
solution Of iron sulphate when the
weeds are young does the work. The
chemical, which is corrosive, attacks
the tender tissues Of the rapidly
growing weeds and destroys them,
while there is little or no injury to
the grain, particularly ifsit Is a win
ter grain or was sown early in the
spring and has gained considerable
growth before the spraying.-Van

NOT TOO SAFE"

The reports of accidents and casu-
alties from the fourth are now be-
ing received and It is the time of the
year for certain papers and certain
people to moralize about sane and
safe" observance of the fourth.
From the perusal of some papers one
might well believe that it has been
the custom of the American people to
make of the national holiday a day
OF butchery and blood. These papers
seek out and play up" everything pos
sible in the line of fourth Of July ac-
cidents and then talk about the
mad moloch of the fourth" They
omit to mention that in a nation Of
some S0,OOO,OOO souls it is inevitable
that there should be many deaths
and accidents daily regardless of what
the people may be doing.
That giant firecrackers should be
tabooed, in cities at least, and that
there should be other sensible rules
regarding fireworks upon the fourth
is all very proper. But to eliminate
the noise and the danger entirely
would take the life out of the oc-
casion.
The fourth of July was not made a
holiday in honor of those who want
"peace at any cost" 1t is dedicated
to the herioc men who brought on
and successfully waged seven long
and bloody years of war They did
strenuous work. Is it not natural
that the holiday which is intended
primarily to honor their memories
and to keep alive the patriotism with
which they were embued should al
so smack Of fire and danger? Would
YOU make the fourth a day of soli-
tide and prayer? Would you have
crepe at a wedding or banquet at a
funeral?
If the Americans had lost the revo-
lutionary war it would be we'll to
observe the fourth of July in silence.
But we did not lose. We won and
it has been the time honored practice
to let the eagle soar and scream up
on the anniversary Of the day the
Declaration of Independence was ad-
opted. But the eagle cannot soar and
scream if both feet are tied, his wings
are clipped and his throat is gagged
as he would be IL some who rail
against the mad" fourth were al
lowed to have their way completely.

FRUIT AND WHEAT.

That fruit rather than wheat win
some day be the chief product Of the
northwestern states is the opinion Of
Clarence E. Edwards, who had an
article upon special crops Of the
Northwest in the last issue Of the
Review Of Reviews. In the course
Of his paper Mr.. Edwards had the
following:
an the district comprised in the
territory where Washington. Idaho,
Montana and oregon join, taking in
10000 square miles, the wheat crop
for 1908 was valued at $45,0OO,000,
and the fruit from the same district
was estimated at 100000. It is
predicted that wheat production in
this vast territory will decline from
this time on, while fruit production

There is tract of land in the west
end of this county that was pur-
chased two or three years ago by a
man who paid IS per acre for it.
Shortly afterwards he sold the land
at sS5 per acre. A few months later
the third owner disposed of the land
for SIS per acre and is now being
laughed at by his friends because he
sold out "for a song" Yet there are
people who foolishly believe that
distant fields are greener" than those
of Umatilla county.

NOW FOR THE FAIR.

The fourth is over. Now let us get
ready for the greatest, the most
rousing, the most interesting district
fair that has yet been held in the
city.
BY the nature of things the district
fair is a happy occasion for all. 1t
IS held in the fall after the harvest is
over and the hard work has been
done. This year people should be es-
pecially keen for the fair because the
crops will be good and the price of
wheat will be far above the normal.
Preparations for the fair are now
underway. The commissioners and
the secretary are at work trying to
enlist exhibitors and to rouse general
interest in the coming fair. But to
make the fair a success the cooper
alton OF all the people is needed. Far
mers, stockmen and fruit growers
should plan to be present and to bring
exhibits with them. Every town and
every section within the county should
be represented by booth because in
no other way may they do effective
yet inexpensive advertising
Let every citizen Of Umatilla and
Morrow counties join in making the
coming fair success. 1t is your fair
and it is given for the benefit af all
the people"

COMMISSIONER KEEFE GIVES
INTERESTING STATISTICS IN
ADDRESS BEFORE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE..

That 1900 more Japanese have
left the United States than have
come to this country from Japan
during the past year, is the state
ment made by Daniel ]. Keere,
United States immigration COM
missioner, in an address made at
the Union club last night, at a
dinner given in his honor. Mr..
Keefe, who spent several hours IN
the city was entertained at dinner
by the chamber of commerce, ana
made a speech in which he point
ed out some very interesting facts
regarding immigration.
He praised the work OF the
japanese government in living up
to its agreement to keep out the
lower classes, and said that, as a
