We believe that while there is some
little resemblance between the cOndi-
tions within the ranks of republiCanism
and those within the nation as whole
during the period preceding the civil
war, Senator Cummins in his zeal to
paint in glowing coorS the future of the
progressive wing of that party has over
estimated what he calls civil war" To
be sure there is strife within the ranks
of the party of no small proportions, but
it does not and cannot compare with the
time of Lincoln. The nation at that
time conld not exist half slave and half
free, but the republican party has exist
ed, exists and will continue 10 exist part
progressive and part standpat; not half
and half, but with just enough progress
siveS to mai e it in very truth a repuOli-
can party, and just enough StandpasterS
to offset the extreme radicals who would
carry it beyond its purpose, just as thetoo
conservative standpatterS would retard
its progress, The progressive element,
will, in time, just as Mr.. Cummins pre-
diets, gain the upper hand, but in the
meantime there is no grounds for saying
that the party is 10 danger OF complete
disruption, or that it must become all

Everywhere, as populations grow,
there is the cry of the higher cost OF
living. Because ours is comparatively
virgin soil as yet, the cost IL higher
and the cry louder in nearly all other
countries that have come far past
barbarism, reclaimed their untitled
lands and cleared forests. In Mexico,
where rents have doubled, all prices
are higher than in the United States,
with wages nowhere near the level
which has been attained here.

left Arizona several months ago and
went to California. From there they
drifted shortly to Salt Lake and on
to Portland and Seattle Hearing
that work was plenty in the apple

NOTHING DEFINITE
ON EXHIBITS
Growers Not Satisfied to EX-
hibit at National Ap-
pie Show.

Secretary Rem Rice, of the Ma
tional Apple Show. has written to the
secretary of the commercial club for
definite information as to the eX-
hibits to be made by Wenatchee
growers at the Spokane apple show
The whole matter of exhibits both
at Spokane and Chicago is in the air
So far there is not a grower who has
positively signified his intention of
taking apples to Spokane. Notwith-
standing the fact that the CONNER
cial club recommended that an eX-
hibit should be made, the growers
themselves are disguised with the
whole situation and nothing yet has
positively been agreed upon as re-
CARDS exhibiting in Spokane. There
is sentiment, however, that several
carloads. will go to Vancouver.
T. H. Atkinson has planned to take
carload of King David apples.
grown by Blackman Bros. and pur-
chased by the Stark Nursery COM
pany, but the purchasing company
may want the apples in the east for
use before the National Apple Show,
and Mr.. Atkinson states that he may
receive notice any time to ship the
apples east.
Mike Koran is considering the
matter of making an exhibit, but has
not given a positive assent.
Capt. A. S. Burbank. of Cashmere,
has a large block of the handsomest
Spitzenberg apples ever grown in the
west The apples come from his two
places, and he was in doubt as to
whether the Spokane rules would
permit him TO exhibit apples grown
on two places. He wrote for infor-
nation and the Spokane manage
ment stated that he would not be
eligible to make an exhibit from two
places, so he has given up the idea
of exhibiting. Local Wenatchee peo-
pie who have seen the Spitzenbergs
of Captain Burbank state that no
finer SpitZenbergs were ever grown
any place than those of Captain Bur-
bank.
Nobody knows what Cy France
will do. He has said he would ex-
hibit and he has said he would not,
and consequently the Spokane man
agement cannot depend on a carload
from him.

buy barrel stock in the middle west.
