~ RESIDENT CLEVELAND once
IL said that be bad congress on
his hands," and the American
people can now grumble in
similar tone of voice thai they have
presidential election on their hands.
There are something more than 1000
600 voters in the country, and they
will approach this battle Of the ballots
with various feelings. The Democrats
are cocksure that they will elect some
body, although they do not yet know
whom. The Republicans retort that
their opponents are always certain OF
victory up to six weeks of election day.
They. too. expect TO win If they get the
right man nominated: otherwise they
are pessimistic in spots. Their idea
as to the identity of the right man"
depends on whether they are standpat-
tiers or progressives. Taft men, La Fol-
lette men or Roosevelt men.

Simply can't lose IL. In the GARFIELD
campaign thirty years ago heard
the tariff boosted and manhandird N

flesh creep. The spellbinders probably
did things TO IL before that. out the
Garfield fight is the first one | clearly

anti-imperialism and trusts have tried
TO crowd into the foreground. but the

veto of the Democratic insurgent bills
and the reciprocity agreement The
difference between the theoretical po
sition Of the two parties is the old one
Of protection against tariff for revenue.
Yet there are many notifications of
this traditional attitude on both sides.
For one thing. the Republican plat
form will doubtless follow the presi-
dent in declaring for a commission and
scientific revision Of one schedule at a
time. 1t will unquesJionably rea firm
substantially the plank Of the last plat
form which declared for a tariff equal
izing the difference in the cost Of pro-
ductiOn a home and abroad plus a rea-
sOnable profit for American manufac-
turers. On this theory the standpat-
tiers and progressives are supposed to
agree. 1t is on the practical applica-
ton that they diverge. President Taft
holds middle ground between the
two extremes

a Competitive Tariff.

On the other hand. the Democrats
will declare in theory for a tariff for
revenue. yet many Of them will occupy
a position similar to that of the insur-
gents and will favor schedule by SEIZED
ule reduction. Chairman Underwood
of the house ways and means commit
tee made one of the strongest state
ments of the Democratic position when
he said that his party favored a COM
petitive tariff. Since a revenue tariff
would naturally be placed at the point
that would bring in the most taxes to
the government and since imDOrtatiOns
would have to come in before the
taxes could do so the theory Of a com
petitive tariff on a revenue basis be-
comes ineligible. The Democrats
maintain that the phrase plus a rea-
sonable profit TO American manufac-
turers" represents a political heresy.
The government has no business 10 in
sure a profit to anybody.

the trust and other issues is not so
clear. The motto Of both seems to be

Philip was badly handicapped and
Midland easily secured the winning

Christian Laden, a Norwegian

to explore the unknown region of
northwestern Canada and to obtain
data about the Indian tribes in the
region, some of which have never
before beer visited by white men.

attacken the two creatures and
succeeded in killing one of them
with arrows, whereupon the other
made motions to them signifying
that he and his companion we're

$4,000 Plurality for Roosevelt

Sioux Falls, June 5.-The latest
returns from the South Dakota
primary that the plurality for the
Roosevelt delegates of $1,000.
Half the precincts of the state gave
Byrne for governor, a lead of a
bout 1000 over Egan. Thomas
Sterling's friends claim his nomi-
nation over Senator Gamble.
Gamble men do not concede de-
feat. Returns from the second dis
trict give Congressman Burke for
denomination a lead of 800 over
Curtiss, his nearest republican
opponent. Congressman Martin,
it is conceded, wins the third dis
trict. In the first district Dillon
leads by 800 over Branson.

in some parts of the state. Parti-
cularly slow are democratic figures
and the minor offices in the re-
publican ticket. Vague claims
from Egan headquarters during
the day disputed the nomination
of Byrne, but before evening these
were silenced.
The biggest sensation of the day
was the claim from Gamble head
quarters at Yankton, asserting
that the senator had carried the
state over Sterling. Early esti-
mates indicated a big plurality for
for Sterling, but the strong Gam

not doubt that Sterling will have a
comfortable plurality after all the

JUST A LITTLE PAPER

Between sixty and sixty-five
carloads Of paper for wrapping fruit
will be needed in the Yakima Valley
this season if between this and the
time when danger is no longer to be
feared nothing intervenes to destroy
the fruit crop. This is the estimate
of w. E. Miller, representing the
Richmond Paper Company who has
been selling paper in Eastern Wash
ington for great many years and
who is as well posted as anyone else
on the conditions and requirements:
Wenatchee and Yakima together, ac
cording to Mr.. Miller, will probably
require 100 to 1875 cars of wrapping
paper, according to all present con-
ditions.
1t is figured that there is used
half pound of wrapping paper,
on the average to a box of APPLES,
or approximately 800 pounds to a
car. Stated differently, it is figured
that carload of paper will wrap
100 cars of fruit. This means that
sixty cars of paper will wrap 5000
cars of fruit, taking it for granted
that they are all apples. Expressed
in still another way, the wrapped
fruit of this valley this year will
number between three hundred mil
lion and four hundred million indi-
vidual specimens, or enough for
every person in the United States
to have four or five specimens apiece
of Yakima fruit if it is evenly dis
tributed.
AS there will be goodly proper
ton of unwrapped fruit of one kind
and another, the total from the
800 cars of fruit generally figured
on will be reduced somewhat. Yet
it appears that Mr.. Miller has been
conservative in his estimates. Mr..
Miller reports that while there has
been considerable buying the gen.
eral feeling has been to wait awhile
to ascertain just what the season
will bring forth. From what he
has been able to learn in the different
districts the prospects are brighter
than they ever have been and he
anticipates splendid crop of fruit.

HARVESTING HINTS

Over in Franklin county the big
ranchers have some unusual methods
OF harvesting. The owner of a huge
farm had a big, easy chair fastened
to the hurricane deck of big COM
bine and was seated in the chair
driving thirty-six head of horses.
This harvester de luxe also had an
unusual plan of making his leaders
do their full share of work. He
had an air rifle and wnen one of the
leaders was Sinking, pingt would
go a shot ard the horse would wake
up Immediately. The method was
entirely a success and beats whip,
says the driver.

Where the trees have been weak

and continuous supply of food and
the soil moisture necessary to make
the food available to the tree. This
can be done best by breaking up the
sod and keeping the soil well titled
so far as to form a dust mulch at
least three inches deep. Whenever
possible, apply manure, especially
where the slope is too steep for cul-
tivation. This will add fertility
and help to conserve moisture.
Such treatment will bring many
trees back into good condition and
while it may not produce results this
season, it's beneficial effects will con-
tinue for a good many years later,

0RcHARDIS1S WANT ALLEN AGAIN

Realizing the importance of the
work accomplished at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, in behalf of
the fruit industry by Senator Frank
j. Allen, leading orchardists
throughout the districts have joined
IN a request of Senator Allen, that
he become candidate to succeed him
self. The request has taken the
form of extensive petitions circu-
lated in all of the fruit growing Sec
tons and extensively signed.
Orchardists are well aware of the
difficulties that have been encoun-
tered, during the past few years. in
securing proper fruit inspection.
Never until the last session of the
legislature was a state appropriation
secured for this important work,
although attempts were made re-
peatedly. In spite of the decided
opposition on the part of non-fruit
growing localities, state appropria-
ton of $4,000 for this purpose was
secured, largely through the efforts
of Senator Allen.
A beginning having been made,
fruit growers point out that it is
imperative that a state appropria-
ton be secured again this year, in
order to establish a precedent.
Otherwise the fruit industry will
face the necessity of having to bear
all Of the burden Of inspection
through the fee system. Thorough
acquaintance with the needs of the
industry and of the men from which
support at Olympia must be secured,
and by reason of his ability to rep
resent the premier industry of his
district capably, Senator Allen has
consented to become a candidate
and is making his campaign for re-
election squarely on his record.
