PROGRESSIVE STRENGTH A PRE-.
TENSE

1t seems very unfortunate for tho
progressive leaders in the state that
Roosevelt should be their guest so
shortly after the third party primaries
had proven that all they have been
telling him about their strength In
this state was all pretense. 1t has
only ,been few weeks since Roose-
welt made the announcement that
washington was one Of the six states
that would be his because the pro-
eressives had captured the state or
Eanization and would put his electors
1T the head of the republican ticket.
1t was the Washington case that
drew the most tears from the eyes of
the progressive delegates In Chicago
when they were telling the people
how the people, the plain people, had
been robbed of the state delegation
BY the action of the republican, ma
<ional committee. Roosevelt and the
eastern leaders have been lead to- be-
Heve that the sentiment In THIS etate
was overwhelmingly in favor Of
Roosevelt and his third term party
and they have been waiting with
breathless interest the time when they
could prove it to Roosevelt and q
waiting world.
Roosevelts journey to the Pacinc
northwest was timed to come follow
ing the triumphant entry Of the pro-
sressives into their own. The COM
vention at Seattle today was to have
been, the elimination Of the spectacle

day was f1asco and the result must
be as surprising and disappointing to
Roosevelt as it is to the office seek
ers that erstwhile were jumping SO
speedily from the republican. party.

children At the Fair

This year the children of the state
Of oregon have had their innings
at. the Salem state fair as never be-
fore. And in passing, one needs TO
stick pin in this fact, the children
have, given. such account of them
selves that the people Of Oregon have
good reason to be proud of them.
Let any citizen who takes an in
terest in such matters, and every cit
izen ought to do 80, read the list of
pre- niums awarded the youngsters
for exhibits of farm produce from
ducks to onions, covering practically
the entire field of agricultural pro-
duction. If a perusal of that list
does not establish the conclusion that
the movement for stimulation of in
teres in agriculture among the boys
and girls of the state is of the great
est benefit to the commonwealth,
then 1t is impossible to make plain
any proposition susceptible of clear
and convincing demonstration.
The showing that the children Of
the state have made at the state fair
is proof positive that the movement
popular lines, and in a practical and
experimental way is a success; and
that it not only assures immediate
benefit, but gives promise of a sound
err industry and a better citizenship
in future. 1t is convincing evidence
that we are on the right road.
We may as well remember that it
is not alone among the children who
have put on exhibits at the state fair
that the leaven is working. In the
families to which those children be-
long there is higher tone of in
dustry and citizenship than formerly
obtained, and in hundreds, If not
thousands of other families composed
in part of other children, the same
excellent principles of industry, thrift
and pride in the sort of progress
that counts are actively at work.
No man can properly estimate the
benefit of it all, to the children and
to the state at large.--Portland Tel
egram.

no politics in his work at Washing

welfare of the people of the state
'of washington.
Senator Jones has been an efficient
public servant. He has worked for
the people of this community and the
people Of his state impartially, and
In the line Of action not dealing d.
rectly with the interests of his homo
state, has shown himself broadmind-
ed and conscientious. He has deal.
well with public questions.
IT is with appreciation Of the man
and his work that the citizens Of the
valleys of the Yakima assembled yes
terday to honor Senator Jones and
give him cordial greeting. The well
come carried with it pledge of re-
newed confidence for the public SER
wasn't and deeper feeling for friend
and fellow citizen.

CURRENT
PRESS COMMENT
Decreasing FOOD Troduction

The latest ana most convincing
contribution toward solving the prob
lem of the cost of the high cost of
living in this country is found in the
statistical records OF the farming OPP
erations of the United States for the
past ten years, as compiled and pub
lished by the census bureau in re-
cent bulletin. During the ten-year In
terval between 1899 and 1909 the
acreage and quantity of farm prod
ucts increased but 10 per cent. while
the value OF the farm crops Increased
s3 per cent, clear case of cause and
effect
In many staple articles of food
there was an actual decline of an
nual product between the years
named. Previous bulletins have shown
a decrease in the number of cattle In
the country during the ten-year per-
Tod OF nearly seven million head, a
decrease Of four and one-half mil
lions in the number OF hogs and de-
crease of nine millions in the num-
Der Of sheep.
In the teeth Of these figures Is there
the slightest reason to wonder that
the prices of all kinds OF foods have
advanced? II conditions do not i'm
prove in the matter Of greater farm
production, ID 1t not equally certain
that there are to be still larger in
creases in the prices OF foodstuff in
the future in this country
If the increase in the production of
farm products is at the rate of but 10
per cent, while the increase in popu-
1ation for the same period is at the
rate Of 10 per cent, there is abso-
Lutte certainty of steadily enhanced
prices of food or a reduced rate of
consumption Production and con-
sumption are getting too far of BAL
ance.
The democratic suggestion for a
correction of this condition is to re-
duce the tariff on manufactured
goods, so as to invite competition
from abroad. 1t will help toward ac-
comprising this result, but at a
heavy cost. BY shutting down the
factories and throwing few million
people out Of employment they will
not have so much to spend, will cut
down their consumption of foodstuffs
and thus bring prices down to the low
level of the '80s. Some will think
the remedy worse than the disease

PRODUCE A NATION
WIDE pRORIEM

The proper method for handling
the fruit grown In the valleys of the
Yakima Is only a part of the great
problem of distribution of food pro-
ducts that is just now of vital inter-
est to all the people of the country.
Word comes from the truck patches of
New Jersey that tomatoes and pota-
toes are being allowed to rot in the
fields because the price offered will
not. pay the grower to have them
gathered and marketed.
Owing to the oversupply and con-
sequent low market many farm hands
are out of employment. There are
always parts of the country where
the local or sectional demand will not
sustain the price and the vital ques-
ton is a proper distribution of the
surplus. Potatoes in the New Jer-
sey truck farms are now quoted at
a5 cents bushel, yet in many centers
Of population the price is almost pro-
hibitive to many wage earners.
The probl9m is one that must be
solved and the pressure is greater be-
cause of the fact that the cost of liv-
ing is demanding some radical meth.
DDS of dealing with the situation.
Properly distributed, the product of
the soil OF the United States this year
would mean plenty for all and lower
cost of living everywhere, but as it is
potatoes and tomatoes will rot in the
f1ei6s in New Jersey and other states.
and peaches and pears will go uf-
picked in the orchards of the Pacific
northwest while consumers buy spar
ingly or go without because they
cannot afford the price.
THE. situation demands the best
thought Of the country and it will be
met as other vital problems have been
met by the elimination of the waste
and the conservation of the product
FOR the demands of the consumer. 1t
WIZ take cooperation and careful
thought, but the matter will finally De
adjusted.

TAX DoDGING AND PUBLIC CON-
SCIENCE

Rules and regulations to insure
adjusting the tax burden are now be-
| ing sought by most of the states In
the Union and the adjustment is one
OF the serious questions connected with
the administration of the affairs of
the government. We hear a great
deal about the awakening Of the pub
lie COINCIDENCE, but in no other field Is
there more room for Improvement
| than in the question of determining
whether or not the individual is will
ing to bear his proper share of the
civic burden, and conscience, not
threat or law is the best prod to use
in reaching the desired end
With this in view it has been sug-
gested that society begin it's cam
paign of education earlier and use
the public schools as an instrument.
1t urges that the schools provide more
generally for instruction in some Of
ln0 SlIHpieSt anu iHOSt luhudHicAeoA
aspects of taxation, viewed both eco
nomically and ethically. The average
child or youth passes through his
school period without having had
brought home to him the relation be-
tween the community benefits which
he and his family constantly enjoy,
and the taxes which he will be called
upon to pay when he acquires prop
erty.
There is a natural normal process
of education for citizenship, including
the duty of contented acceptance Of
a personal share in defraying govern
mental costs; which both the home
and the school could carry on better
than they do. The ethical stumbling
block is the too prevalent an idea
that opportunity should always be
taken to "get something for nothing"
But the youth of the land should be
receiving instruction on the broader
lines of citizenship where he learns
among other things his personal duty
and obligations to society and the
state.

U. S. WIRELESS STATION
Will Be Ready this Year and Have
Radius of 1000 Miles


WASHINGTON, d. C.-Washing-
tons great wireless station, now be-
ing constructed by the navy depart
ment on Arlington Heights. ON the
wet bank of the Potomac, is one of
the largest constructed since wireless
apparatus has been in use.
1t is expected that during the lat
ter part of 1912 messages will be
sent from Washington by the Airing
ton station to Paris and Berlin. This
is the first of a system of high-pow-
err stations the navy department
hopes to build in the United States
and insular possessions. 1t will cost
approximately s250,000.
Taking a point at the base of the
station tower and with a radius of
1900 miles, it is found by rotating
this radius about this point that the
circumference of the cities thus gem
Grated touches the coast of France,
Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands,
west coast of Africa and nearly
touches the continent at Cape Verde.
1t swings across the Atlantic TO
the east coast of South America be-
tween Cape st. Rogue and the mouth
of the Amazon river, through CEN
trail Brazil, northern Bolivia, south
ern Peru and into the Pacific ocean,
nearly bisecting the steamer line be-
tween San Francisco and Hawaii !;
northwesterly through Central Alas
ka and beyond the S5th parallel of
north latitude. This circle takes In
Greenland, Iceland and completes it,
self through Scotland at Liverpool.
The great circle touches four con-
tinents, including the north Atlantic
and much of the Pacific oceans, and
embraces an area of 28,274, 400
square miles.

will hold convention today to lega.-

There will be four tickets in the
field following the result of today
primaries, but the indications art
that the contest will be between the
republican and democratic parties and
that the socialists and the progress
sives will be only a negligible" guam

A very little journey into the sur
rounding orchards will convince the
most skeptical that some means of
processing fruits is needed to prevent
the enormous waste that is to be ceen
in every orchard and in and about
every packing house. The Gull fruit
of the orchards can be gathered by
carloads if there was some reason for
gathering it and some way to utilize
the value that is otherwise going to
waste. Next following the solution OF
the problem of marketing the fruit OF
commercial quality will come the
problem of utilizing the surplus prod
uct. Enterprise and capital should
both be encouraged with this end in
view.
