Advantage of CheerfuIness.

There are those who sneer at the

CANAL TO BENEFIT THE
 FRUIT GROWERS

The California Frui, Grower thinks quite properly that the opening of the Panama canal will bring 10 the Pacific coast q wonderful trade de. velopmcni. It IS said that the time required for the shipment of freigh, by water to New York from San Francisco through the canal will be equal io that of freight by rail lt will reduce the cost of shipping. put the Pacific coast in closer touch with the Atlantic, and open up di- rect communication with the ports of Europe
 All kinds and varieties of products cdu be placed in refrigerator com. partments, if necessary, aboard the steamers. and sent to any of the harbors of Europe. thus giving us access to points of population greater than those of the United States and Canada. The statement is made on good authority that when the canal IS opened shipments can be made to Europe from California m thirty days, thereby cutting the present time in two
 The extensive markets that will be thrown open To fruits at prices within the reach of all will be an eye'opener to the most optimistic {; and this increase in water trific will not mean, necessarily, d decrease in shipmen, by rail. as railroad traffic will also develop with the general expansion of trade.
 The opening of the canal will also bring 'o Us class of labor of which there seems be scarcity at the same time bring some labor prob lems which will have to be solved Tor we cannot expect that all labor which will come will be of char. aeter tha, will be entirely satisfac. tory.

MINIMUM WAGE PROBLEM

There is q corporation in Portland.

Since the minimum wage was intro. duccd in England in connection with the wages of coal miners. quite a number of people seem to think that this is the remedy. and no doub, it is--bu, very temporary one. Let us sec how it will work First. a slight advance in the wages of the worker; second. slight advance in the article produced or sold in or der 10 give the wage earner an ad. vance; third an advanced cost 10 the consumer er--thc wage earncr The circle is complete, we have come back 10 the wage earncr; le, us in. crease the minimum wage and begin all over again. Can, anyone sec that an advance in wages amounts to nothing unless there is a cut in profits. So long as the burden con ,inues to be shifted. it comes righ, back on the shoulders of the wage carner.

RISE OF INTRODUCES

The. eos, oi living is n world probleM l, is q serious matter in the United States and of gravcr con cern in other nations. New sources Of food, and better economic meth ods of handling food products. are evidently of importance in planning lo improve the situation Intensive culture of crops can more than double their volume, and more in. telligent adjustment of what is grown will help in reaching solution. As an example of defective agriculture can be cited the fact that potatoes have recently been imported from Europe. though easy ,o raise in every state in the Union In corn contests as much as lS0 bushels has been grown on one acre. The aver age farmer thinks he is doing we'll fl he gets one fourth as much.
 Another matter related ,o the cost .oi living is made distinct in the na- tional convention in St. Louis of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushcrs as. sociation. attended by nearly 1000 delegates from all parts of the coun- try. The product m which they are interested was once treated as waste. Now saOO.OO0.OOO is invested in the business of preparing it in various forms for the market. The oil is not only good for men but the crushed seed will keep their cattle in flourish ing condition. Here Is new and wholesome food resource that goes to the point. and ii is but one of number making scientific progress.
 By products are adding 10 the mar gins of profit in manufacturing in dustries. and this also touches the cost of living In making illumin. a,ing gas the waste oi old Is now a sourcc of supply of scores of valu. able substances Cheaper manufac. turcd gas promotes the comforts of life If gas and electricity become cheap enough smoke can be ex- cluded from cities, which is bu, one oi the resulting benefits that can be named Over a hundred different articles of commercial value are made from corn Germany utilizes an immense amount of dcnatured al. cohol extracted from what was form. crly waste.

OPPOSED TO FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE

The American sentiment m lne Philippine IS strongly opposed to the policy of granting the Filipinos independence. and ,hi, sentiment is endorsed by the German and Eng fish residents. aS they believe that a state of anarchy would result, which would drive all foreign business in iercs,s from the island, The pres ent trouble in Cuba is illustrative of what would occur in the islands in the event of the withdrawal of the United States as the governing power: besides. such withdrawal would give the islands as q prey to Japan or some other foreign power. which would endcavor to command the situation under the guise of protecting their interests
 The islandcrs would moi gain any material advantage through inde- pendcncc. for they already have per feet autonomy ,n their local affairs, and possess power of veto even in ,nsuiar affairs. Each town in ,he islands IS governed by town eoun- cii and a municipal president or mayor. and with the exception of the Moro province and few non Christian provinces, all these ofh ciais are Filipinos
 Each province is governed by a board of three members. two of whom are Filipinos. except as just excepted. and in some provinces even the third member. who is also the provincial treasurer. is Filipino The islands as a whole are govern cd by a governor general, appointed by the president of the United States, and by legislature of two houses. one of which the Philippine assembly. is composed entirely of Filipinos elected as are United States congressman. and the other house is the Philippine commission. a body appointed by the president, which consists q, ihe present time of three Filipinos and four Amcri- cans. All new Legislation except that specially authorized by the American congress. must be approv- ed by both houses to become a law.
 The immediate resul, of granting independence would be the rcsigna. ton CT removal of all American bu. reau chiefs and their subordinates. and their substitution by natives. The American system has fos,ered the natural desire of the native to sec his own people holding the reins of government. for thc proportion of Americans and foreigners in the civil service has steadily decreased as soon as Filipinos could be found with sufficient aitainmcnts and abil. fly to hll the higher positions. But it would be sorry mistake 10 re. move the backbone of the present administration for at least genera. ton more
 The Filipino, are mixed race more than fifty distinct languages are spoken throughout the islands. This fact of itself is not conducive 'o the peace oi the islands, besides. inc people are Oriental and unused to republican form of govern mcnt At the present time they have ! more democratic form of rule than many Of the countries of Europe. IL Is the general opinion that if inde. pcndcnoc were granted at this lime a bloody revolution would be raging within six months

tween the Atlantic scea board nthe ono
