4 PETITION has been circulated and
sufficient number Of signatures Sc
cured asking that the question Of local
option be submitted TO the electors OF
Oroyille for their approval, or disap-
proval, the election TO take place in
April. Considering the agitation pre-
vailing everywhere il was no more
than TO te expected that at some time
the proposition would come on to be
threshed out in this community.
While respecting the views Of those
who favor local option, and who advo-
cate prohibition from principle, this
paper hardly believes the present is
an opportune time 10 vote the saloon
out Of business in this place. AS a
good and sufficient reason for this po-
sition attention is called TO the fnan-
cial report Of the town as published in
another column. 1t will be seen that
since incorporation the expense Of mu-
nicipal government has been almost
wholly paid through the medium of
license receipts. At the time this re-
port was submitted there was less
than 800 in the treasury. II the sa-
looms are voted out Of existence there
is no means Of raising revenue until an
assessment could be made and direct
tax levied and collected. An income
from that source could not be counted
upon until year hence. In the mean
time without any provision for funds
how is the machinery Of town govern
ment to continue in motion. In the
language OF the late Mr.. Cleveland it
is condition and not theory that
confronts the public, and it would be
well for every resident and property
owner of the town 70 weigh well the
situation before committing themselves
70 supporting local option at the pres
ent time.

draw from the race for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. This
will leave in The race Hon. T. D.
Crawford and Hon w f. Kirby.
Mr.. Eakin has beea IN bad health

he could do hiMself justice in the
race, as he had not been able To
look after his political interest for
quite a while. The many friends
of Judge Eakin in this paii of the
state, and in fact all over the state
will regret his decisionto withdraw,
for they realize that should he have
continued in the race and been
elected to the position, they would
have had a man and lawyer Of
great ability i'll this position, and
one to whome they could point

PLANTING AN APPLE ORCHARD
Few Points by an Expert to Young
Farmers Who Are just Starting
In Business.
cRy ]. j. oSRoRNA

Ab9 - D. OobOINN.J
For the benefit of young farmers
who are going to plant and raise an
apple orchard | will give you few
points
Don't cultivate and stimulate the
growth of young trees too much. Let
them grow slowly and naturally like
forest tree.
My reasons for this advice are: A
few years ago neighbor of mine set
out an apr le- orchard and he cultivated
some sowed crops between the rows
all the time.
He washed the trunks of the trees
with weak lyc ard old soapsuds
through April, Ncy and June, and
those trees grew 20 beat the band.
1t WAS the general taik all over the
settlement what a fne hard old
man Riley had.
Well, here comes the results of such
good treatment. When The orchard
began to bear the trees began to die
bligirtsa TO death.
Forty per cent. of them are dead
row and the others are going to fol
low.
Now don't you see the crowding OF
the growth Of young trees won't dol
] am rs years old and ! have learned
by observation that the thing can be
oyerdone.
The crowding of the growth makes
The wood too soft. Left to grow slow
ly they will live longer.

Great Ball Ahead.

Unless our exceedingly interesting and good friends, the sporting editors and others of their ilk, are fooling us and we are slow of course, to be- lieve for one moment that they would we are to have a great baseball sea- son this year Teams are being pick ed with more than usual care and players are to be held down to line of conduct absolutely in keeping with the game at it's best.
 4 curiously significant feature of the progress of baseball in this country is the constantly growing number of min or leagues. Every year sees the old ones continued, an1 some expanded, and numerous new additions made. There is hardly a hamlet in the entire nation nowadays that has not it's base ball team; and no matter where you may drop down for the day, there you may see a game well worth while, as a rule.
 The popularity of baseball never wanes. On the contrary it increases with the years The telegraph wires keep the nation in immediae touch with rhe situation from Maine to Cali fornia, because the public demand is such that it will be satisfied with noth- ing short of that. Young and old, male and female, every American must have his daily baseball s'dope!" Baseball is the great national game, indeed.- Washington Herald.

The President Defended.

Revision downward" is a phrase not found in the republican platform. The formula, or something like it, can be found in speeches which were made by President Taft, but the congress sional candidates were bound by the platform. not by anything in speeches, unless they made the speeches them selves. Laws are enacted not by the president but by congress. The pres ident signed the tariff bill. it is true; he signed it because he believed irlN it. It was not just what he wanted Min every respect, but he recognized that it was the very best he could get. It embodied the idea of revision down ward to such an extent that there rose up congressional opponents of the president-not all of them democrats who predicted that it would fail as a revenue producer. That objection has been swept aside by the evidence of the tariff in operation.
 Now, then, is it not about time for a cessation of threadbare misconcep- tions and misstatements? President Taft is entitled to fair treatment with reference to the tariff issue and every other issue. Isn't it full time for the great body of the people to heartily appreciate the exact significance of what he has done. and to turn a deaf ear to those who are eager to mis- prize him m?-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
