RESIGNATION RUMORS
DENIED BY STANTON

Rumors that have circulated through
out the valley to the effect that County
Judge Stanton was planning to leave
Hood River and that he would resign
his Office have been denied by Judge
Stanton. He declares that he has never
contemplated any such action. The
rumors may have gained their incep.
tion from some talk of Judge Stanton
moving from his present residence on
State street to other quarters.
The reports of Judge Stanton's con-
templated resignation had gained such
credence in the country that aspirants
for appointment to succeed the county
official were seeking endorsement.

muster rolls of Company H., 14th Wis

brought into the office last week by
Thomas Goss, member of Canby Post,

rolls. of 1862 and 1865, were made out
by Comrade Goss.
MIR. Goss takes a great interest in
discussing the events of history in Civil

on writing a number of short Civil wal

Since our last issue Hon. E. L..
Smith has received one gold medal,
two bronze medals and four diplomas
awarded to Hood River valley by the
Oregon Industrial exposition. The
medals bear the following inscription :
awarded to Hood River valley for
best association exhibit (gold medal,
Awarded to Hood River valley best
winter apples. Bronze medal Best
Fall apples" On reverse side there is
an engraving of the exposition build
ing. Three of the diplomas were for
apple exhibits and the fourth for second
best building stone from the quarry of
W ilson Winans. We congratulate our
fruit growers on receiving all the first
premiums awarded to apples at the
Portland exhibition. And this is not
all. Residents of Michigan and other
states of the middle west have fre-
Quently contended that their apples
were of superior flavor to those grown
in this section, but Mr.. Smith is in re.
ceipt of letter from Supt. Dosch stat.
ing there were no apples at the Omaha
exposition superior in flavor and tex
ture than those sent by him from his
Beulah Land orchard and that a medal
was awarded him. These evidences of
superiority of our fruits should ercour-
age growers to take better care of their
orchards. Not less than $4,000 was
lost to our orchardists the past season
by neglect in spraying and cultivation,
and we are glad to learn that our horti.
culturists are determined that this con.
dition of affairs will not occur again.

1t would appear from the action
taken by some of the fruit growers
last Saturday that the feasibility OF
doing away with the Hood River Fruit
Growers Union and organizing under
new name is being discussed. II
may be that the old union has outived
its usefulness and that an organization
with a new name would draw more
patronage and be more successful, but
it is very doubtful. The union has
been success from the start, and be.
ing managed every year by good bust
ness talent on business principles, has
grown steadily in favor. During the
past year it shipped 60 per cent of the
strawberry crop, and there is no reason
why it Ishould not do even better the
coming season.

The Colonel in Right About Face.

The procurement OF Colonel Roosevelt
through New York paper. Of which there lie no
reason to doubt the authenticity, is interesting
chiefly for disclosing the remarkable change
which has come over his attitude contrasted
with four years ago. Colonel Roosevelt now
says one can tell in March what kind of a
candidate for president should be nominated in
June and takes the stand that the convention
delegates should be sent to Chicago unpledged
and free to confer together and reach the best
choice in the light OF conditions then existing.
Four years ago Colonel Roosevelt insisted
that every convention delegate be instructed by
direct vote OF the people. and held up all the
uninstructed delegates to suspicion either as
purchasable commodities or masqueraders re-
fuslng to fly their true colors We have not
the slightest hesitation in saying without fear
Of successful contradiction that had a majority.
or any considerable number, of the delegates
TO the 1912 Chicago convention been free to
exercise their own judgment, there would never
have been the unfortunate split that produced
two presidential tickets and placed a democrat
in the White House by a distinctly minority
vote. Four years ago, II we remember cor
rectly, the colonel and his followers, declared
there would never be another convention
nominated president because all conventions
would be abolished and direct-vote presi-
Dental primary nomination substituted. Now,
however. he discredits the preference primary
altogether as a dependable president-making
mechanism, and enlists for a good old fashioned
convention where the leaders (not bosses)
shall get together and decide what is best to be
done.
The mere statement Of these contrasted
positions requires no further comment.

SHENANDOAH, Ia, March Ito the
Editor OF The Bee: L was just reading
II. Schuman's letter from st. Mary. Neb.
and am convinced that whoever wrote it
is laboring under a very great misunder-
standing Of conditions in this country.
While it may be that there is no l gic
in this country carrying on its shoulder
a chip accompanied by dare to the
world to knock 1t off. there certa My ia
some good judgment in being in con-
dition to defend our country. Should
any one or more nations attempt to make
serfs of US, which is not beyond the
bounds Of POSSIBLE shortly after the
termination of the present war. espo-
cially IL Germany should gain a very de-
cisive victory soon, as this country has
already gained the i'll feeling OF a con-
siderable per cent of the German, Aus
TRAN and Turkish people. And other and
more vexing questions may arise before
the end of the present conflict.
II Is a matter of world knowledge that
the United States is in very helpless
condition at the present time, as well a.
In possession of the greatest amount of
gold and other precious metals and
valuable stones and stores of goods of
any nation on earth, and our portion
seems to be very like that of a tanker
who would presume to start a bank with
81 900, 10000 capital in a pasteboard build
ing and only one 10-year-old boy to guari
over 1t at night and other times the bank
was not open. declaring that he was
rich no one would dare 20 take any OF
his wealth because he could prosecute
them to the full extent OF the law which
would protect him.

control Of the government the hes. gun
works that any have, and also the best

ton to last until such time as wo I'D be
necessary to manufacture more in case
to have a large standing army. but there
should be enough at least for offic ,rs
and small army besides. and the
artillery should be in shape for immediate

should be so constructed that they could

In Eairness to Governor Capper.

The governor OF our sister state OF Kansas
has been receiving quite little unrelshed at
tention over the boast attributed to him to the
effect that Kansas is $3.50 richer per capita
than any other western state, which, in its in
yidious comparison. had naturally aroused re-
sentiment. We have, almost direct from Gov
ernor Capper, a categorical denial, with ex-
PLANTATION that whatever the governor may have
said on the subject has specific reference to the
assessed valuation" We quote the letter we
have received:
wish you would say for that Governor capper
positively has made any such statement as that
which is attributed TO him respecting the per capita
wealth of the citizens of Kansas. l believe The Bee
has published this dispatch from Lincoln as did
great other papers believing course that II
was true This statement originated with Barton W.
Curry. staff representative OF the Country Gentle
man. who wrote to the Committee OF Greater Dos
Moines Des Mcines Ia, attributng the assertion to
Governor Capper.
Upon two occasions Governor Capper has
greater than in other state and he has given
the per capita wealth suspect these two been
confused In the minds OF some writer's. I shall be
very glad II you Will contradict this story for us.
So far as The Bee has been misled by erro-
neous quotation we are glad to give Governor
Capper the benefit of this correction. We all
admit that Kansas is wonderful state, even
though we are unwilling to concede that 1t out
ranks Nebraska.

some Volunteered Advice.

OMAHA, March Ito the Editor OF

plan TO conduct an institute for the pur-
poso ef instructing those interested In

to cast my vote in favor of such a plan.
Social center work and playground SUI
pervision can be carried on only by per-
sons who have made a study OF this
branch OF our civic and social develop
ment. Efficiency in any department of
human effort requires much study and
special training. This is an established
fact. The fee suggested was a nominal
one and. since the board has shown such
a determination to retrench, 1t seems
that the criticism against charging a s.
fee TO help defray the expense. is rather
Inconsistent, TO say the least.
II Is the work OF the Recreation board
to help make the youth of today strong.
clean in body and mind. that they may
better qualify TO carry on the work which
we shall leave 10 them.
Mr.. Hummell has done much along
that line. He has paved the way for
greater things to be accomplished by the
Recreation board. The people showed
their appreciation OF his work by a graft
flying vote at the last election. But be-
cause he has gained the confidence Of
the people. let us hope that he will not
make the mistake OF sacrificing that con-
fidence for personal glory.
