ROGER G.. SULLIVAN
SEES DEFEAT AHEAD

CHICAGO. Dec. 26--Roger c. Sui
livan, Democratic National Commit
teeman from Illinois, made 1t known
to his political inumates tonight that
he would not be candidate for re-
election to that position. but he rav-
ored Charles Boeschenstein. now
chairman Of the State Central Com
mittee, for the place.
II 10 said that sullivan reached this
conclusion after it became apparent
that he could not hope to win in the
race for the office, but that by back
ing the State Central Committeeman
chairman, he might be able to secure
a majority of the committee to look
upon him with favor.
This leaves the field practically open
for Congressman Henry r. Rainey, of
Carrollton, and will probably result In
the defeat of the tottering Sullivan
machine, which has for so long held
sway in Illinois politics.

by liberal receipts from Oregon points.

off 10c to 15c toward the end of the
week, with the best selling at $3.50
to $500.
The establishment of a central horse
market has been undertaken at the
Portland Union Stock Yards, and buy
ers and sellers of horses throughout
the country will be gratified to know
that there is a basing point for es-
tablishing prices in anything in the

tive of the weeks market; steers,
$3.50 to 500; lambs $6.25 to $3.50;

President of state Horticultural Board
Discusses Farm Problem.

CORVALLIS. or, Jan. 15.-W' n
Newell. of Castor. president oil the
oregon state Board of Horticulture
smoke before the students OF the ore
CON Athletic club short Winter cours-
es here Yesterday, on Some Farm
Problems" discussing with the douDie
view of the scholar and the practical
farmer the greater questions WhicI
confront the American farmer toudS
Mr.. Newell said in part;
I'VE all know that the result Oh our
system of education has been to turn
not only the attention of the country
child away from the farm, but also Oh
the city child away from the practical
trades. The importance of remedylhg
this is now becoming understood ana
we are beginning to make progress III
that direction, but in the country we
are face to face, in many cases. Win
the even more difficult problem OF the
development of the grown-up genera
ton. There is really no way OF pro-
viding proper training for the young
without first educating the parents
and besides we cannot afford to wall
upon the slow process of education OF
the youth for results. We must nave
direct action along the lines of better
farming. better business and better
living.
Those good people inthe cities VINO
are so concerned about the back To
the land proposition because they are
alarmed about the rising prices oI
farm products. and are hoping thereby
to remedy the difficulty are doomed to
grievous disappointment. Prices oi
farm products are not going to be rel
atively lower. All values may sag but
the process Of readiustment is going
TO continue until the same amount OF
brains and capital put into farming
will pay the same returns as in other
lines. Prices Of farm products are 60
ing to be relatively higher rather than
lower.
"The great problem is not how to
get people back on the farm, as that
will largely take care of itself II the
people are really needed there, but
the question is how to secure better
farming and better business methods
particularly better distribution. We
must depend upon our own efforts tc
solve this distribution problem. BY co
operation we must be able to distrib
ute our products more nearly direct tt
the consumer; to ship in large quaint
ties, thus taking advantage of loves
rates. where present rates are eXorbi
tant.-Oregonan.
