DISAPPOINTING.
Now York Eyenlng Post.


The meeting of the Governors Eat
Frankfort, whatever merits it may have
embodied. has been sadly disappointing
from the point OF view of those who
hope to see these annual conferences
develop into an institution of direct
efficacy in the conduct of government.
Stimulating and beneficial to the par.
Elephants it may have been, in tho same
way as are those annual gatherings OF
scientists and scholars which have be-
come a part of the established order In
the world of learning; but of more
Immediate advancement of the large
objects cherished by the originators and
advocates of the idea there was little In
dlcation That the Governors them
selves recognize this fact is shown in
the suggestion that the next meeting
should be held at some out-of-the-way
place. where there would be no oppor-
tunity for putting forward of social
distractions body that has no def
mite task to the fultilment of which 1t
is committed needs every possible safe
guard against the temptation to take
the path Of least resistance; and owl

spite of the undeniably important posi-
bilities of which it is capable, Is no ex-
ceptlon to this rule.

TIE FIGHT FOR COAL.

The Secretary of State, In his letter
~ the coal dealers. states that vernai
and written evidence has been SUD
n,ltted to him, which satisfies him that
there Is an unlawful combination be-
tween certain coal producers, railroads,
and retailers, for the purpose of regu-
lating the price of coal in Utah. The
evidence being satisfactory to the Sec
rotary. he promptly proceeded to notify
the suspected firms to withdraw from
the combination.
And this is the very point at issue.
Tho price may be too high. 1t may be
true that fuel ought to be cheaper In
Utah, but as to that we see no remedy
in law. a producer, q dealer. has appar-
entity the right to set his own price
upon any article he produces, or sells,
the theory being that prices necessarily
will be regulated by the demand. But.
II producers and dealers go together
and agree on Il price and perhaps
threaten retaliation In some form or
another If the agreement Is broken,
y Incn inc INV ID NlOihltb, w hSthNi ~
price agreed on is reasonable or not.
SO the question is not in the first place,
whether coal ought to be sold cheaper,
but whether the price has been fixed
by general agreement. That is what
the evidence must show.
We believe other articles of COM
merce, including food, also command
the same price in all the stores. The
labor market. too. has fixed prices
which sometimes are enforced by
strikes. And the same phenomenon of
similarity in prices, according to an
adopted scale, exists in other fields.
They arc ali unlawful, but somehow
they are tolerated. And that is what
makes the protest against one class ap-
pear peculiar. Why not make a gen
eral fight for tho dissolution Of all UNI
lawful combinations, and cheaper llv-
ing?s
We hope the effort to secure cheaper
coal will be successful for fuel is quite
an item in Utah. In the meantime 1t
is evident that Providence is tempering
the wind for the shorn sheep, FOR the
weather so far is not driving the peo-
pie to the coal yards very frequently.

recommends the appointment OF a COM e M
mission to govern that Territory.
The Message recommends that the
present clght-hour law be enlarged by
providing that public works shall be
construed to include not only buildings
and work upon public ground, but also
made in private yards or factories.
Speaking of the proposed Bureau Of
Health, President Taft renews his rec
concentrations for the creation of such
a bureau. He says he regrets the as
sertions that such u bureau Is to be
made in the interest of particular
school of medicine. 1t seems to me, he
says, that this assumption Is wholly
aunwarranted. and that those RESPONSE
BILE for the government can be trusted
to secure In the personnel Of the bureau
the appointment of representatives. Oh
all recognized schools of medicine, ana
in the management. of the bureau en-
tire freedom from narrow prejudice IN
this regard.
The President recommends that
proper steps be taken to lay the found
alton for buslness-like national
budget. a special message ON this sub
ject is promised.
Discussing the Interstate Commerce
law, the President recommends that
1t he left as it is, except for one ad-
dition providing that one who, in good
faith. advances money or credit upon
II bill of lading issued by a common
carrier upon an interstate or foreign
shipment. can hold the carrier liable
for the value OF the goods described
in the bill at the valuation specified in
the bill, at least to the extent of the
advances made in reliance upon 1t.
The Message concludes as follows:
II believe it to be in the Interest of
all the people of the country, that LOT
the time being the activities or GOV
crnment, in addition to enforcing .he
existing law, be directed toward thc
economy of administration and the en-
largrment OF opportunities for foreign
trade, the conservation and improve
ment of our agricultural lands, the
building up OF home industries, ana
the strengthening of the confidence OF
capital in domestic investment.
1t is a lengthy document for short
session. but. as already stated, it is OF
interest to all citizens, and no matter
what their views are on the questions
discussed, they cannot afford to ignore
the review of the past and the recon-
mendations for the future it contains.

roR TIE SOUTH POLE.

Two expeditions have now set OUT
in quest of the South pole. One. under
the British flag, is commanded oy
c,ntain Robert Scott The other Is
under the japanese flag. 1t Is under
the command Of Lieutenant Shinase,
who has taken his little company ana
his little ship out of Shinagawh BAY.
The Orient and the Occident are now
engaged in rivalry, the result OF
which will be followed with unusual IN
tercst
!. The preparations made by tho Japa-
ncsc expedition are said to be very SIM
plc. The vessel is hardly more than
sha)lop. being only $50 tons burthen.
Yet there is as much confidence among
officers and crow as In almost any eX-
pedition that ever set out on such
quest They claim that their. needs are
less than those of the Occidental, and
tbat they can endure hardship with FAR
less protection.
Tho English expedition Is we'll.
equipped, and its leader, Captain Scott,
has a great deal of experience IN Ant
arctic explorations He has come near
est the goal of all explorers. except
Shackleton, who advanced to within one
hundred and eleven miles of the Pole.
1t would not be surprising If one of
these expeditions should reach the
farthest South. as Peary reached the
| farthest north. In all probability there
is land clear to the Pole. The waters
surrounding the Antarctic continent
| are full OF life. But the temperature
is low. and the traveller must be pre-
pared for awful hardships. We hope
the English expedition will get there,
and get there first.

THE WISE PARROT
YELLED STOP THIEF"

Los Angeles, Cal, April 9.-In his
cell at the city Jail, A. H. Anderson
declared today that never again will
he attempt to pinch" bird or beast
When it gets so bad that fool bird
calls cops when it is being lifted,
even an elephant would be safe, so
far as l am concerned, after this" he
mournfully declared.
Anderson's trouble started last ev-
ening when he entered the apart
ments of Joseph Bateman, in Central
avenue. Bateman's big green parrot
was the only thing he saw lying
around loose, and he promptly
stuffed the bird under his arm and
started down the street.
When Bateman, as a joke, taught
his bird to cry "stop thief" he had
no idea that the bird ever would en-
ploy the phrase in a pinch, but as
Anderson hurried away an officer
standing near by heard the cry com
ing apparently from beneath Ander-
sons coat. Anderson fed, but the
officer caught him, after an exciting
chase, and took him and the bird to
the station, He will be arraigned
today.

TU SELECT
PLACE FOR
CONVENTION

State Superintendent of Public
instruction Ackerman left today for
Portland where this afternoon and
evening he will attend meeting of
the executive committee of the
State Teachers Association.
i The purpose of the meeting is 10
consider invitations from the var
ious cities in the state for a conven-
ton to be held in the near future
to select from them a place, and also
to decide upon a time for the hold
ing of the convention. The last con-
vention was held in Albany and it
is more than probable that the next
will be held in Portland, as it is
understood that the executive COM
mittee is in favor of holding 1t
there. 1t may be, however, that
some other city will offer better in
ducements in which event, of course,
it will secure the convention.
In the event that the convention
is held in Portland an effort will be
made to have some of the counties
of the state of Washington partici-
pate and should they accept the in
vitation it will be the largest con-
vention from the point of attendance
ever held in the state by the ass0-
citation.
Eola Rally a Success.

tional rally at Eola. Besides MI.

were also made by several teachers

A Busy Week.

Despite the fact that the weather
has been unfavorable to showing

Salem have, however, been kept busy
and have had a very satisfactory
week.
Bechtel & Bynon report the fol-
lowing sales, and assert that they
have an unusually large number of
big deals pending:
They have sold for Messrs. Hartley
and Craig three fractional lots fac
ing on the Oregon Electric in High
land addition; two houses and large
frontage on State street for Geo. w.
Morris, a capitalist of Marietta,
Ohio; SO acres on the Silverton road
for Mrs. H. Bell; ten acres on the
Garden Road for E. B. karns; 6 lots
in Parrish addition for l.. Townsend;
lot in Cardwell addition for VIM.
Bechtel; 1-2 acres on Asylum road
for p. A. Shipley; 10 acres South of
town for C. A. Page; a house and two
lots for B. T. Randall in South Sa-
lem, and issued contracts for num-
Der of lots in Cardwell addition. The
same firm have secured the agency
for Hollywood, subdivision of the
Geo. o. Savage farm OF 500 acres on
the Silverton and Garden roads.

fling of articles Of incorporation of
the Salem Bank & Trust Company

struction at this time.
The incorporators are w. G. East,

The capital stock of the new corpor-
alton is shown in the articles to be

have made no definite statements re-
garding the construction of a new
bank building, they have intimated
that this would be done in the event
they could secure suitable location.
They did state, however, that their
rooms in the Catlin & Linn building,
when completed, would be held but
temporarily.
