Commission Plan and State.

The commission government has
wiped out wards rnd parties, with
narrow, selfish interests, in 80 Amer
lean cities.
other cities are adopting this new
plan of turning over all law-making
and law-enforcing functions to a
small body of five men directly re-
sponsible to the whole people through
the initiative, the referendum and the
recall-as fast as legislatures domi-
mated by the interests will let them
We wonder if a state could be run
by a commission as successfully as
these 80 cities are.
Our state governments have the
same evils as the city governments
which the commission is displacing.
The legislature, like the councils,
is made up of many representatives
not Of the people, but of sections. The
average member has one or two bills
which he is determined to pass either
for love of notoriety or money. So he
trades his votes on other mems bills
for other mems votes on his bill.
Special interests find the legislature a
fertile field to reap favors-there are
so many representatives that the peo-
pie can't drag all the grafters into the
white light. 1t would be tedious,
tiresome job
So each meeting of the Legislature is
a public calamity. Good measures
may be passed, but it's a sure thing
that many others fair to bad and
worse.
Thus it happens that our state books
are crowed with laws that regulate
everything from the size of wife's hat
to the cracks in hotel dishes. There
is so much law, carelessly drawn, that
we respect little of it.
Could we wipe out the Legislature,
as we are doing the council, and con-
fer it's power on a commission that is
directly responsible to the will of all
of us.
Would half-dozen men, on whom
the light of publicity was constantly
playing from every corner of the state,
be more careful to record public opn-
ion than two hundred Seattle Star.

Orchards i'm Bloom.

In recent issue of the North Yak
ina Herald, Henry j. Snively asked:
"Why cannot North Yakima use it's
unique wealth of blossoms as an at
traction to bring visitors and tourists
here?"
Orchards in bloom are attractive.
In the blossoming season the orchards
of the Yakima country, of the Wenat-
chez country. and other parts OF
Washington where fruit growing has
made rapid progress in the last few
years, present pleasing prospect,
and it is worth while to see them. In
deed, many citizens of Seattle and
other urban conters in the state, and
many visitors and tourists. make it a
point to see the orchards of the state
in the Towering season.
Portland honors the rose by a spe-
Cial event every year. In Japan a
national holiday is observed in honor
of the cherry blossom. There is no
reason why the fruit growing centers
of Washington should not take steps
to use to greater advantage the at

the suspicion that it is the political

political disinfectant of enurenched

Mr.. Aldrich remarks that anybody
who knows him will not think he is
retiring because he fears defeat. This
is not convincing. This man who is
sufficiently clever as a politician to
be able to boss the United States SEN
ate is not as drunk with past victories
as Joe Cannon, but can see the signs
and augur the results.
For several days reports have been
emanating from Maine that Senator
Hale would have the fight of his life
time against an insurgent for his seat
in the senate. If the history of other
old men in the senate proves any
thing the people can scarcely be ex-
pected to believe that age is the con-
trolling cause of his retirement.
Only two years ago William B. ALI

Cannon Men Doomed.

Not one of the men from California
who stood by Speaker Cannon and

tie to free the House OF Representa-
tives from the grip of corrupt ma

nominate such a man will be to hand
the district over to the democracy.

CAME JUST IN TIME.

President Tafts appointment of
Governor Charles E. Hughes or New
York to the supreme bench, stands
out as the one single and only act
of his career as president which
meets with popular approval. No
matter how sincere and honest at
heart President Taft may be, the fact
remains that he has not impressed
the country as being large enough
for his position, as far as energy
and mentality go. His appointments
have heretofore been almost alto
gether from the ranks of corporation
men and it has been feared that he
would follow the same policy in f1ll-
ing the vacancies on the supreme
bench. 1t is pointed out that had
President Taft stumbled into this pit
fall, Indignation throughout the
United States would have known no
bounds. From the viewpoint of his
future career, this act is regarded by
politicians as crisal. In the one free
from corporation influence, it is be
ieVed.

MARK TWAIN.

Mark Twain is dead. He died of a
broken heart. If he left no other
monument to his memory, the cause
of his taking off would be sufficient
evidence of his manhood, for the
depraved, the cruel and the bestial
are never seized with this infrequent
malady in death dealing form.
But Mark Twain did more than die
like a gentleman-hc lived like one
for he was blessed with that rarest of
all human faculties, a true sense of
humor. He cured the most chronic
cases OF dyspepsia at a thousand ban
quet tables and drove away fits of the
blues" and Crouch" wherever he
went. He turned pessimists into OPP
timists and knockers into boost
ers;" cheered the sad and lightened
the gloom of those who were
freighted with too many of life's bur-
dens
He was blessed with the happy
faculty of seeing the silver lining be-
hind the most lowering cloud and of
dispelling the gathering storm with
warmth and welcome sunshine. Only
the genius is capable or a work so
monumental; only a Christian is able
to melt the hearts of men into one
great brotherhood. OF such as Twain
must Henry Van Dyke have spoken
when he said Give me few friends
who still love me for what | am and
keep ever burning before my vagrant
steps the kindly light of hope; and
though age and infrmity overtake me
and | come not within sight OF the
castle of my dreams, teach me to be
thankful still for life and for times
olden memories. and may the even
ng's twilight find me gentle still"

STANDPATTERS AGAIN REBUKED

Acting in self-defense, the voters of
another republican stronghold have
turned a fat republican majority over
to the democratic column through the
election of James S. HaVens to con-
gress in the thirty-second district of
New York. thus accomplishing the
defeat of George w. Aldridge. The
previous republican majorities have
ranged round the ten thousand mark
in Monroe county but Havens' ma
jority at the polls on Tuesday, al
though democrat with poor or
ganization working against a well
organized machine, was nearlY six
thousand.
But the significant fact Of the whole
election lies in the platform adVO-
Gated by Ravens. He declared for
tariff reform in the interest of the
consumer, revision of the duties on
wool and wooden goods. removal of
the tax on hides and lumber. removal
of tariff on iron ore, the income tax
and independence of political bosses.
These are precisely the issues which
have been raised by the progressive
branch of the republican party for
which Cannon and Aldrich and their
ilk have sought to read the insur-
genus OUT Ol lllt leDuDlltdIl lldIt y .
That these are live issues with the
people was evidenced three weeks
ago in Massachusetts, by the election
of Congressman Foss and Tuesday the
same lesson was repeated in New
York.
Nor is this result to be interpreted
in the light of a victory for party. 1t
is not, rather simply an expression Of
the popular will acting in self-defense.
Republicanism means nothing and
democracy means nothing except as
on their standards issues are en-
blazoned which represent the welfare
of the populace in the several SOW
ereignties of the nation. In the evo-
luton Of our social and industrial
life, progress is being made and the

SOUND ADVICE
AS to the Needs of the Fruit
Orchards of Yakima Right Now
in Regard to Spraying.
BUT A FEW DAYS LEFT
FOR EFFECTIVE WORK
Driving Calyx Spray Under a
High Pressure Is the Requisite
and the Poison Should Reach
Everywhere.

The spring has been so uncommon.
~ forward this year that Deputy
County Fruit Inspector Thomas 0.
Morrison is afraid some of the ranch
ers will be caught mapping. Orchard
supply men have been selling large
quantities of spraying material and
sprayers the past few days which in
dicates that the ranchers are Just
getting at their codling moth spray.
Mr.. Morrison wants to impress it
upon everyone that there is no time
to lose; they should get at their ar
senate of lead spraying at once. Ho
sayG.
1t is known that the best work
against the codling moth can be done
by beginning the spray when so to
80 per cent of the blooms have fallen,
making it possible to apply the pol
son inside the calyX cups thoroughly
before they begin to close. This per-
centage Of bloom has already fallen
in a majority of the orchards so
spraying should begin now.
Most orchardists are familiar with
the following principles:
The spray should be driving
calyx spray which requires high pres
sure (2OO lbs) to drive the spray tn
side the caly cups. Use Bordeaux
nozzle.
A crook below the nozzle allows
the spray to be turned in any direc-
ton to catch all the calyX cups.
1t should be applied directly into
the calyx and in large trees a tower
is necessary.
Don't be afraid of using too much
material. it will take a large amount
of material for the first and second
calyx SPRAYS if every calyX is poi
soned inside
Some varieties have the calyx lobes
