Mr.. s, i. Lupton has returned from
Washington where he has been In at.
tendance before the cong essional com.
mittee which il considering q bill now
before Congress to standardize apple
packing and packages. Whom asked by
q Star reporter as to the status of the
bin, Mr.. Lupton made the following
Statement, which is Of vital interest. to
every fruit grower in Frederick county
and Virginia.
The bill now before Congress to
standardise apple packing and packages.
commonly known as the 'Sulzer bill Is,
In my judgement, of the greatest i'm
portance to the fruit growing interest
Of the entire country.
Serious Trouble Pending
I'm view Of the enormous planting of
apples now gpin0. on y over the couD-
Try. unless some ING sdase, md done
quickly, to put the apple business on q
strictly commercial basis, We are sure
to meet with serious trouble in dispos-
ing Of our fruit within the next few
years. and perhaps total collapse Of
the apple business.
At present, owing to the disergan-
lied condition Of the business, there is
no confidence in the trade as to the quail
ity Of fruit packed. The dealer, the
groceryman and the consumer are all
afraid to buy apples in any quantity,
because Of the inferior grade of fruit SO
frequently found on the market. The
buyer is greatly handic3p ped because Of
there being no recognised legal standard.
He cannot borrow money on warehouse
receipts except in 4 small way. and
locally where the apples are stored, and
can be personally examined by officials
Of thebanks. i

HE DESERVES A REST.

CENAT0R CULLOM feels rather
- bitter because he was not re-
elected to the United State senate
or put in the way Of being 80 elected
by the people OF Illinois, at the recent
election. The senator has represented
that state in the United States senate
for 30 years, or will have done so
when his term expires about March 4.
He has been a hard-worker, energetic,
consistent, honorable and honest but
surely he cannot complain. Not only
has the senator represented his state
for 30 years, but he has now reached
the ripe age Of so years, and Is en-
titled to rest. More than that, with
all due respect to the venerable sena-
tor, the state Of Illinois Is entitled TO
the service of younger and more
vigorous man. It Is not Cullom's
fault that he has grown old, It is his
misfortune, but just the same, he Is
too old for the work now His mind
has not failed, for It Is still strong
9nd active, but he Is Of different
age. He is not in touch with modern
Ideas as younger man Is. The old
ideas, the old methods are part of
him that he cannot put away or for
get, The past clings to him as It does
always to age. Tho world has chang
ed, but he has not changed with It,
and he who was onco tho most pro- !
gresslve Of the senator's is now rank
ed as conservative.
Senator Cullom has done grand
work for the whole people of the
United States, especially in his bat.
tie to have the government control
the railroads instead of the railroads
being greater than the government
as they were when Culom first took
MS seat In the senate. 1t was largely
due to his splendid fighting qualities
that this change was accomplished,
yet now he is "out-progressed" and
is left at the starting post in the new
race. 1t is sorrowful but It is so;
and to give the venerable senator vet
another six years should he survive
the term, the end would not only be
sorrowful, but pitiful The senator
quits at the right time, both for him
self and for tho country.

SHALL WILLAMETTE
JOIN THE CONFERENCE?

1t is now only three days until the
session Of the representatives of the
conference colleges will be held at
Seattle and as yet no definite action
has been taken by the Willamette
student body regarding entering the
conference.
AT meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the student body, held last
evening, the question was discussed
at some length, finally resulting in
tie vote.
Many of the leading members of
the student body have voiced the
opinion that since it is practically as
sured that both Oregon and O. A. C,s
football teams will meet Willamette
in Salem next season, there is no an
parent reason for entering the con-
ference this year. and especially so
since doing so would disuualifv two
of the teams strongest men, McRae
and Blackwell.
However, there is a strong senti-
ment among the students and espe-
clally among the freshmen and sopb- (
omores that if Willamette is going to
be on the map in athletics, she will
get there by belonging to the confer
ehce and the sooner the better. If
Is also argued that many students
would be attracted here by the fact
that Willamette is conference
SchooL and that many who now leave I
IN their junior or senior year to grad
uate from other schools would take
their degree here.
The main thing which stands in tba
way Of entering the conference is tbo
natter of finance. The more entbusi- l
'Stic supporters would overcome This
by raising the student body tax bpt
ne conservative ones maintain that
ne tax is high enough and that If
re step can be stayed off Just one
year longer the finances will be in
'ood shape and everything else ready
o enter in conference relations.
