ORIGIN OF NAVAL ORANGE.

After a series of experiments, some
of them costly failures, the southern
California colonists finally evolved the
"fittest" product for their soil and
market and that was the Bahia or
ange or, as it is now called, the WASH
ington naval orange. In December,
1873, L. c. Tibbetts, a Riverside coll
onist, received by mail from a friend
at Washington, D. c., two small or
ange trees that had been imported
by the United States agricultural de-
partment from San Salvador de Ba-
hia, Brazil. This variety is seedless
and of fine flavor. The tree does not
grow tall like the Seeding and its
branching from near the ground re-
duces greatly the cost Of picking the
fruit. The Bahia orange became i'm
mensely popular Buds were taken
from the parent trees as fast as they
could be obtained and inserted into
the. Seeding trees. The descendants
from these two trees number up into
the millions
Tibbetts died few years since in
very Strengthened circumstances. He
was a public benefactor. The trees
he introduced have been a source of
untold benefit to the people Of Cali
fornia. Men have been immortalized
as heroes and cannonized as saints
for far less good to humanity than
he did. One of the original trees, now
grown old and somewhat decrepit, has
recently been presented to the City of
Riverside. 1t is a living monument
to the memory of Tibbetts.-J. NJ.

A WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY.

Some years ago two little Japanese
scholars made a quiet tour through
our country to find out, as they ad-
about the woman's educational sys-
tenn of the West, says Robert Haven
Schauffler in Success Magazine"
They returned and started a univer-
sity, the aim of which, in the words
OF its founder, is "to impart higher
education to the daughters Of Japan
with the object of enabling them sat
as women, wives and mothers, fully
equipped with ideas and knowledge
in touch with the progress of the ma
ton and the world"
That university today is the larg-
est woman's college in the world, if
one includes the model schools. "In
all the courses'-I quote from an
article by Dr. Theodate Smith of
Clark MISUNDERSTANDING, child
study, ethics, hygiene, education and
nursing of children, and history of
the fine arts are required. There
is a dormitory system and the stu
dents share in the household work
Students in advanced classes hold in
turn the position of head woman
(Shufu) and then learn the manage
ment of a home under the supervi-
sion of a matron appointed by the
university"
Then the japanese learned of US.
Now we have to learn of them. And
we have to remember that that ma
ton which first consistently works
out the eugenic ideal, as this univer-
sity is working it out, is destined to
rule the world. AS DR.. Saleeby we'll
says: THE history of nations is de-
termined not on the battlefield but
in the nursery, and the battalions
which give lasting victory are battal-
lions of babies. The politics of the
future will be domestics.'

A COLD FLOODED COURSE.

Jay Bowerman is so eager to become
governor that he is willing to trample
down friends as we'll as foes in order
to gain votes. He is showing a
spirit of selfishness that is rare even
among machine politicians.
In his speech here Thursday night
and in speeches delivered elsewhere
in eastern oregon Bowerman assailed
Senator Bourne for allowing section
nine of the irrigation law to be
changed. That blow was also a blow
a. Congressman Elisa Bowerman
supporter and one of the men who
sat upon the platform with him the
other night.
The amendment to the irrigation
law was made in the house Of repre-
sentatives. Congressman Ellis was
member of the committee which ad-
opted the amendment If any men,
Der of the Oregon delegation is
blamable for allowing that change
made then it is Judge Ellis. Bower
man knew that when he made the
unjust attack the other night.
Of course the charge that Oregon
has suffered through the amendment
to the irrigation law or that our dele
cation is blamable for that amend
ment is pure buncombe. The law
was amended as has been explained
before, because there are several
western states contributing to the re-
cIamation fund that have no feasible
irrigation projects. 1t would be q
criminal absurdity to force the gov
ernment to do work in those states
under the circumstances. The law
should have been changed just as II
was. States that have meritorious
irrigation projects. as oregon has,
will not suffer. At least we have the
promise Of the president Of the Unit
ed States and Of the secretary Of the
interior that Oregon will lose nothing
by the amendment.
All Of this Is well known to Bower
man. While at the army engineers
banquet at Hermiston not long ago
Re heard Congressman Ellis and Sem
ator Chamberlain speak upon this
subject He heard them tell Of the
circumstances that brought about the
amendment to the irrigation law.
But Bowerman is running for OF.
flee. and he is striving desperately tc
get away from the big issue In the
campaign-which issue is assembly
ism. He is trying to make Bourne the
issue and In doing so he is stabbine
some Of his best friends. In west
ern Oregon he has placed Congress
man Hawley "in a hole" through hi
attack on the tariff. Hawley actet
as did Bourne with reference to tn,
tariff bin. In eastern Oregon Bower
man Is attacking Bourne with refer
ence to the irrigation amendment. II
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-10-15

doing that he is also administering
left handed jolts on Congressman
Ellis.
By the course he is taking Bower
man is showing himself a very cold
blooded sort of a politician. He pre-
sents the spectacle of a man who will
deal unjustly and unfairly even with
his own friends in order to advance
his own personal interests. 1t is not
an edifying spectacle.

This body has appointed an ener.
Setic executive committee to conduct

RHODE ISLAND AND PENSIONS.
Missouri's Smallest Sister Has Just
Adopted a Pension Law.

"The law recently enacted in Rhode
Island granting pensions to school
teachers who shall have retired after
terms of service covering a certain
period of years, vas adopted after a
thorough and exhaustive discussion Of
the subject from every standpoint,
which established in the minds Of the
members Of the legislature the simple
justice Of the proposition. No voice
has since been raised in protest
against the granting Of annuities TO
those whose life work has been de-
voted to moulding the character OF

am In hearty accord with the idea OF
moderate a%nnuities for aged, retired

Republican voter, Roosevelt or

1t is generally conceded the
next Congress will have a decis-
i've Democratic majority, but up
to the present time, it has been
considered boldness to predict a
Democratic Senate. Such a
thing is not Improbable. On
March 4th next, the terms of
thirty United States Senators ex-
pire, of whom twenty-four are
Republicans. Twelve of these
are in bad repute, and most of
them will not aspire to succeed
themselves, and others are in
serious trouble, among them be-
ing Aldrich, Burrows, Clark Of
Wyoming, Carter of Montana, De-
Ipew Of New York. Dick of Ohio,
Flint Of California, Hale Of
Maine, Kean of New Jersey,
Nixon of Nevada, Piles of Wash
ington and Warner of Missouri.
The Senate at present has fifty
uine Republicans and thirty-three
Democrats. Seven of the Re
publicans are ProgreSsives-Bev-
eridge, Boran, Bristow, Cummins,
Clap, Dolliyer and La Toilette.
From present indications the
next Senate will be anti-Republi-
can and forty-seyen Progress
ives and Democrats. With civil
war raging amongst the Repub-
Leans from the Atlantic to Pa
cific, and from the lakes to the
gulf, with discussions multiplying
and insurgency growing, the anti
majority in the Senate may be
even greater. Insurgency is
not confined to the North, West
and Southwest, but is Just as
rampant through the New Eng
land states. The people every
where are at last finding out that
their happiness and prosperity lie
in the success Of Democratic prin-
cipleS. The outlook for the
masses grows brighter with the
rising of each days sun.
The Republican candidate for
governor in Maine only carried
three cities in the entire state
hardly enough Republicans left
to tell the story.

Ifere with his police machine in
