WHEAT CHART JONES.

From the evident drift of political
things in general 1t looks like the re-
FORM" or more properly called the
freak" candidate would be consider
ably in evidence during the coming
campaign. Jones. the congressional
candidate for eastern Washington de-
scribed below, will probably not be re-
membered by many of our readers. but
many like him will be recalled. This il
description of Jones, as given by the
Walla Walla Union:
Once he was republican and a re
publican office holder at that. as ne
was elected attorney general in 1892.
In 1896 he became a silver republican
and was a fusion nominee for congress
and was elected a member of the fiftv-
iifth session from this state. He then
became a democrat and has remained
hitched up to that organization ever
since.
Mr.. Jones earned the sobriauet Of
Wheat Chart Jones in the campaign
of 1896 through his use of that now
almost forgotten theory that the price
OF silver controlled the price Of wheat
and that by some mysterious but in
herent sympatyh the two commodities
moved up and down the market board
like pair of thermometers, always in
accord, always fluctuating in the same
direction. This theory he illustrated
by means of charts and the farmers
fell for 1t. though most of them refus-
ed to acknowledge it later on.
With silver dollar an ounce wheat
would be a dollar a bushel. But the
day that wheat jumped up, leaving sill
yer lowering around in the lower fif-
ties, Jones balloon blew up. He has
not made a noise like candidate til
now"

PLAIN AND REFRESHING.

In view Of the fads. isms and So

WHY TURNER RESIGNED.
(Oregonianl

Former Senator Turner has resigned
a 1880 federal job In order to run for
the senate. In view of the fact that
he had every reason to believe his
resignation was about to be asked for
his conduct is not quite so illogical and
rash as might appear on the surface.

Tt Is proposed to change the system
of paying pensions quarterly, Whicn
has always prevailed in the govern
ment pension office, and pay them
monthly. Such change would not
involve any great expense, while the
benefit to pensioners would be very
great. Money paid to pensioners is
generally used to meet current living
expense and practically all Of it goes
Immediately into circulation The pro-
posed change would therefore benefit
not only the pensioner, but local BUSH
ness men all over the country as well.

The entrance of Congressman
French into the senatorial contest has
greatly reduced the chances of north
Idaho being represented in the senate.
The big vote is in the south. and with
the north divided between Ailshie and
French, it seems almost certain that
Brady or Goodng will capture the
prize, with the chances favorable to
the former. 1t is not generally believed
French's vote getting ability will stay
with him in the senatorial race, es-
pecially since he will be opposed by
men who have something of a record
for getting votes themselves.

don,t see how your mother bears
Your noise all day: do run upstaris
He looked at me, and / at him;
His eyes were wavering and dim,
His lips were set in piteous way,
Forgotten was his mirthful play;
And dropping low his curly head,
He went to find his nurse and bed
Strange could neither read nor write,
The room was still, the lamp was
bright,
And not sound above the stair,
And quiet brooded everywhere.
But, | could neither read nor write,
Because grieved child that night.
And, sorrowful and penitent,
Unto his little room went
Humbly, as any culprit speeds
To make amends for his misdeeds
He lay asleep with tears undried,
His woody lamblin by his side.
His hands We're casped in suppliant
way;
And when his mother went that day
TO watch beside sisters bed,
These were the parting words she said:
"Be tender with my little Joe,
For he will miss his mother SOL"
All, me- how had kept my word?
| smoothed his hair, he slightly stirred.
And sleepily one hand outspread
To clasp my own across the bed;
And as / bent to kiss the child,
Dear papa murmured he. and smiled.

permanent construction work, to include
roads and trails. In all of these aotiv-
tiles the value of cooperation between
the various agencies was emphasized, and
it was brought out that efficiency could
be raised and expenses lowered when
state, nation, lumber companies, and pri-
vate individuals work together in ac-
cordance with a plan evolved by all.
1t was shown that the disposal of
the slash left after numbering means the
elimination of a great source of danger
from fires. In some cases it was shown
that it was best to dispose of this ma
terial by burning it under supervision
when there was little danger from fire.
In other cases it was proved to be suffi
cient to lop the branches, so that all
would lie close to the ground and decay
quickly.
In the discussion of actual fire fighting
it was pointed out that the secret Of the
suppression and control of fires in the
woods is not essentially different from
that in the city, and lies in having
trained and dependable fire-fghting or
ganization.

STATE AND NATION TO JOIN.
In Protection of Forests from Destruc'

The report Of a conference on forest
fire protection by the various states has

ment OF agriculture. This conference
was attended by representatives from all
the New England states, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Ohio. Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, and
Washington.
The meeting was called to discuss the
section OF the Weeks law which author
ICES cooperation between the federal
government and the states in protect
ing from fire forests situated on the
watersheds of navigable streams. The
conference considered not only the de-
tails Of carrying out the law, but the
results which the law has accomplished
and the promise which it gives of future
accomplishment.
The various subjects discussed inelud-
ed patrol work, cooperation with pri-
yate owners of cumberland, and co-opera-
ton with other protective agencies and
with railroads. The conference is said
to have established beyond doubt the
great value of fire lookout stations and

FIAT FRACTIONAL
MONEY FOR MEXICO
Chief Interest in the Military Opera
tions Now Centers About
Torreon.

Mexico City. Feb I6.-Exchange on
New York Saturday at Mexico City
closed at 8 for ! and short time pre-
viously touched $40. 1t is explained
that the increase was not due to the
demand of concerns having foreign pay
nlents to meet so much as to the fact
that the shippers Of heneguen, who have
heretofore distributed their exchange
business, have opened an office of their
own, thus creating something like a
corner. Bankers believe the exchange
rates will increase still further. Ger
tain diplomats have been unofiicially adj
vised that the government is planning
to issue fiat fractional currency and also
impose a special tax on all investments
in the federal district.
Chief interest in the military opera
tions centers in plans of the war de-
partmcnt for campaign around Tor
reon. A federal victory of minor inn
portance is reported from Topic on the
west coast and "a skrmish has occurred
near San Angel, suburb of the capital,
in which the rebels were forced to take
flight.
In spite OF the protest made by Nell
son O'Sliaughnessy, American charge
d'atfaires, and of the instructions of the
Mexican foreign Office to desist from at.
tacks on President Wilson, FL Impartial,
under a three-column first-page' head
line; "The word Of Wilson lacks honor
as does he himself" comments on the
recognition by the United States of the
new Peruvian government within four
days after the success of the revolt.
This was done, the newspaper says, in
face of the declaration from the White
House on March II, 1913, that the pur-
pose of the United States is to deny
sympathy to all revolutionary govern
ments. From this the conclusion is
drawn that Yankee processes work only
along the line of evil passions"
With similar prominence, III impartial
publishes an account of the alleged fail
ure of $50 banks in the southern United
States because of President Wilson's and
Secretary Of State Bryan's "iniquitous
Mexican policy" An effort is made by
the newspaper to show that President
Wilson's policy il disapproyed by the
great majority of people in the United
States and by practically all those in
the southern states.
