One of the beneficial results of the Olio direct primary law is that it has entirely destroyed all that was left of the chances of one John R. McLean becoming a United States Senator. No one knows this better thau McLean himself. Through the columns of his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer, he is indulging in wails of distress over the great misfortunes in store for the na tion from direct primaries and other forms of direct legislation. One of the great evils be professes What You Gain JUSs; THE BANK OF OREGON CITY JYour funds are kept in absolutely security. Payment by check provides indisputable receipts in the form of returned canceled checks. CJPayment by check saves many a long trip; saves the trou ble of making change and taking receipts. CBeing a depositor with us acquaints us with each other and lays the foundation for accommodation when you want to piece out your resources with a loan. fEvery courtesy aud facility is rendered the small as well as the large depositor. Don't wait until you can begin with a large deposit. The Bank of Oregon Qty THE OLDEST BANK IN THE COUNTY to see Ih the spread of corruption. Such a complaint Is "to !nui;h" when one considers the source. Those who know the history of Ohio politic le Kliuilng with f'e year 1SS3 can not help but wonder when corruption in politic! begun to be a source of worry to McLean. Of course, the Enquirer I" opposing a progressive constitution. Of course It is flRhtlng shoulder to shoulder wltn other Interests aiming the election of ilclegutes to the constitutional conven tion pledged to the Initiative and ltef ervndum. It Is possible that some fu ture legislature may be open to the kind of argument necessary to secure repeal of the direct primary law and of course It would not be hard to con vlnee such a legislature that the own er of a certain five-cent Cincinnati morning dally Is the proper mau for United States Senator. Nut that pos sibility will cease to exist as soon as the Initiative and Referendum he conies part of Ohio's fundamental law Plutocratic papers were some weeks ago exploring the case of an Oregon judge named Coke. It seems that In a murder case Judge Coke charged the Jury in a way that resulted in ac quittal of the prisoner. Some persons did not approve of the verdict und started a petition for Judge Coke's re call. Of course, the recalled failed to get the required 25 per cent of the voters to sign. Few voters will sign a recall petition without understanding that there Is sufficient causo for it. and in this case the sufficient cause seems to have been lacking. Hut while the attempt to get signatures was being made, the plutocratic press besan to make statements giving read ers the impression that the recall of Judge Coke was an absolute certainty and then proceeded to argue from this how iniquitlous a measure the Recall was thus shown to be. Now that the actual result of the test has been to prove how ground less are the objections that have been urged against recall of the Judiciary it Is Interesting to note that none of the papers which went into fits over Judge Coke's prospective "martyr dom" has yet Informed its readers of the outcome of that case. What is more, it will probably be a long time before the New York Times, Philadel phia Ledger, or other papers of that kind, will do so in a manner that will enable readers to learn, the whole truth. That shows that extreme cau tion is necessary before accepting at face value any account published In these papers of the practical working of, progressive measures. EYES OF ITALY ON TRIPOLI. White the greater part of Europe is suffering from disturbances due 4o economic causes, and Italy herself is scourged with cholera, the land of the Caesars, taking advantage of the dis pute between France and Germany over Morocco has again begun to think of realization of her old ambition for the possession of Tripoli. Italy has not fared so well as other European nations when she has ven tured on land-grabbing ventures. She occupied a portion of the Red Sea a few years ago and the result was an encounter with Abj'ssinla that event uated in a humiliating and disastrous defeat for the Italian arms. Italy has ever had her eyes upon Tripoli, and every time the other Eu ropean land-grabbers have got busy Italy has concentrated her thoughts upon Tripoli. It lies directly across the Mediterranean from Italy and is rich in traditions of the days when Rome was great. Along its coast are many Roman ruins. Tripoli is a nominal possession of Turkey, as is Egypt, but it is left very much to itself. While the greater part of the country is a desert, there are still some rich oases and the coastal plains support a fairly numerous pop ulation. Champ Clark and his fool annexa tion speech must not be forgotten in summing up the contributing causes. . Premier Laurier was made a Knight by King George. Wonder what in the name of goodness he'll make Mr. Bor don, hero of the landslide? In Kansas they fined a preacher for flirting with his wife. He was lucky they didn't imprison him for marry ing her. Still, there are ninety millions of us j and nine millions across the line, so we ought to be able to worry along.

Wis.. Oct. 6.

Men who were the bitterest In then denunciation of the living Schley, the men who hurled such terms as "cow ard." "catliff" and "traitor" at nis head were the most prominent figure ) in the funeral cortege. , The military and naval display win exceedingly elaborate, and was in charge ot Rear Admiral Badger. In the line of march was the Annapolis naval band, followed in order by 70" midshipmen, 600 marines. 400 blue jackets, a battery of field artillery and scores of carriages. Admiral Dewey, lifelong friend of Schley, and his staunch'est supporter, who championed his cause in regard to the Santiago question when oppoj' tion to the late admiral was at Its blackest, was unable to attend the final rites. Admiral Dewey is report ed to be in feeble health.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA SON SOUGHT IN VAIN Mrs. Catherine Gibbons, eighty tnree years of age, died Tuesday at her home In Greenpolnt, where she had lived alone for several years, and so far all efforts to communicate with her son, James Holllngshead, a wealthy rancher, of Barry, Wash., have been unavailing. Her grand daughter, Mrs. J. W. Strauzer, of Portland, arrived here Thursday after noon and arranged to have the body held at an undertaking establishment until Mr. Holllngshead could be noti fied of his moth"r's death. Justice of the Peace Samson, who was a friend of Mrs. (Millions telegraphed and wrote to the son. His ranch Is several miles from Harry, and it may take a day or two to reach him. Mrs. Gibbons had been ill several weeks, and was cared for by neighbors. FRUIT PRICES LOW WITH QUIET Tie v.eek to date hap on tiie whole been a quiet one in the fruit trade. Prices in general held at a low range, arid dealers do not look for any . ery great change for the better in the near future. Peaeh.es are plentiful, the best of fering going at 53 cents a box. This month will practically finish the peach sia.-on, but there will probably he some storage stock available the first week or two of November. Apples are coming In a free way and selling ith moderate activity at an extreme ranee of $1 to $2 a box. Dealers say the bulk of the trade is in the fair to medium grades, which sell at J t.25 to J 1.50. Red Men Initiate Three.
