That the republican machine of this county ts still In good working trim is manifest from the results In the legislative race. The machine was after S. D. Peterson and It' got him with a vengeance. Put the machine men did not take after Peterson because he exposed their opposition to him. They were after his scalp long before that time. j Peterson's great sin In their eyes was ! that he would not allow them to tell him how to vote on the speakership and on certain other matters at the last legislative session. Peterson wanted to be a legislator rather than a dummy member. If the majority of the republican voters of this coun ty had really understood the situation they would have renominated him. He deserved another term. THE REALM FEMININE A Pittsburg spiritualist says she has talked with the shade of W. T Stead, the London editor who went down with the Titanic. Stead Is not in position to deny the statement. A GOOD INVESTIGATION-. The senate Investigation Into the Titanic disaster Is proving decidedly beneficial. Facts of the utmost im portance have already been brought out that would no doubt have re mained hidden had not a prompt In quiry been started by a board equip ped with great power. The disclosure that the company refused to provide its lookouts with marine glasses looks bad for the com pany. It is strange that a ship cost ing " $10,000,000 could not afford .the very best devices In theway of glass es. It is also astounding that a great ship carrying 2300 people had but 20 lifeboats all told. But perhaps the most remarkable thing of all is that warnings regarding the Icebergs seemingly went unheeded. Either the officers of the ship regarded the Ti tanic as invincible or, else they were so bent on making a speedy passage that they neglected to take due pre cautions. The disclosures regarding the wreck of the Titanic will take some conceit out of both owners and officers of the great liners and make them more mindful of the dangers of the deep. There will also be a revision of the governmental regulations governing such ships with a view to greater saf ety In the future. If this is a democratic year Pen dleton is prepared for it with one democratic presidential elector and one delegate to the democratic nation al convention. In J. D. Mickle the republicans nominated a man for food and dairy commissioner who has the backing of the right element those who want an enforcement of the pure food, laws and a regulation of the dairy industry. George Carr of Portland is accused of having four wives. How could he afford so many? The V. of O. brigade will have to get into working trim for the appro- priaton fight this fall. Multitudes of tiny buttons trim af ternoon frocks of charmeuse, surah, bengaline or taffeta. In double rows they march down both ' edges of a panel and trim the fronts of yokes, and In a single file they edge, collars and cuffs. When a designer wishes something new to put upon a costume she gets up a novel arrangements In buttons. The double-draped tunic is a new term among dressmakers. It suggests that a really novel garment has been invented, whereas, It is merely the caught under' pannier attempting to creep into favor in disguise. This double-draped tunic or pan nier has very litt'.e fullness at the waistline owing to the sharp slant of its gores, but below the knees is shir red tightly under a cord piping. Be tween that point and the feet it is j caught under to forrn a loose, irregu I 'arly shaped puff, which all but con ceals the underskirt. Broad folds of se'.f material trim the skirts of some of the smartest models in shantung and tussor two silks which have su idenly been reviv ed, and are among the most useful that women can have for between sea sons' wear. The first fold actually is a broad hem turned backward and piped. Put on in that way, it makes a prettier finish far the bottom of the skirt. The next fold must be set on, and above it may be as many others as will be come the figure. These skirts are undraped. In general outline they re semble the ones garnished with frills and ruffles, and go with bodices hav ing highcut round necks finished with a double-plaited net collar. Plain or flowered taffeta hats art among the season's fascinating crea tions. The blazler coat is something very smart for wearing over crisp linen frocks or separate tailored skirts and shirt waists. The need for such a Coat is frequently felt in summer when mornings are cool and a long coat is cumbersome, yet until, with the waning of last season, the separ ate box coat came back into favor, there was nothing which quite ans wered the purpose that is, nothing with the blaziefs Jaunty air. This season its gay stripes are likely to en liven gray days on the sand and flash through misty mountain mornings wherever up-to-date girls and women are vacationing. In the striped tennis flannels it is rather especially a sport ing garment, but In plain weaves it is suitable for all informal times. In the meantime, the unhappy read er asks for nothing better than not to know that the writer has a style. This does not mean that the style Is unimportant; it means only that the reader is primarily interested in what the writer has to show him, and the writer's style may be considered perfect When it never obtrudes itself on the reader's attention. v It is on the name principle that the best dressed man is the man whose clothes you never notice.

Time, I ask you not to take Back the wrinkles you have brought; They are things I never sought, But I ask you not to make Smooth the brow you've lined with care; Let my step, once quick, be slow; If it please you better so. Leave the frost upon my hair. Time, I ask you not to bring Back the warm, glow of my cheek; But one favor still I seek, Tp one gift I long to cling; Though you rob me of the rest Of my graces and my Joys, Time, I pray you, leave a boy's Brave heart beating In my breast. S. "E. Kiser. IT WON'T DO. Wholly regardless of whether or not they like Oregon's preference for presidental candidates few people will sympathize with Attorney General Crawford's "off hand" opinion that It won't be necessary for the Oregon republican delegates to vote for Roosevelt because he did not get a majority vote. It Is plainly the purpose of the pref erential law to require the state dele gation to vote unanimously for that candidate receiving the highest num ber of votes at the primary election. That was the interpretation placed upon the law prior to the primary election. Moct candidates for dele Kates, If not all, professed their readi ness to vote for the popular choice whoever it might be. It may be tak en for granted they will carry out the popular will regardless of Mr. i Crawford's "off hand" decision. 1 It Must Indeed. "On Mars the year is 730 days long." "Gee, it must be a long wait be tween birthdays up there for a man who was born on the twenty-ninth of February." The process of writing consists In laying a track of words, along which the author conducts the reader with more or less success. If the words are put together neatly and skilfully, the reader glides along without jolt or jar; and If the elevations and de pressions are arranged with care, so that monotony may be avoided, the pleasure of the trip is still further increased. Many writers revel. in "apt allitera tion's artful aid" and take an unfair advantage of the reader by ceaseless syllabication promiscuously and per niciously pandering, with reckless ro domontade, to surfeited senses. Others adopt a rugged, uneven, jolt ing method, placing their words In hard, jagged, staccato rows, hurling their meaning at you in irritating crescendos, bumping you up and down making hard edges which Jar your ear, and rasp your consciousness dis cordantly, rubbing you crosswise. They clang at you. And other still, with stately pomp, firmly wedded to well-balanced perl ors, march with rhythmic step alonfc their formal path. No frivolity deters them, no joyous and inconsequential lightness disturbs them, no folly mars their posture, but with dignified car riage, their banners flying In the sun, they Journey onward, the distant ho rizon reverberating to their triumph al progress. Then we have the mincing, deli cately constructive writer, who deals in mosaics. A feminine little air of precision is his pervading essence Capering nimbly to the dulcet phrase, he never descends below his shrill treble, but scatters his nice little re finements about him like a lace adorned bride. Victor Herbert, the musician, own, a six story house up in the Seventies, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times Star. It Is built tall and narrow, like a well. Mr. Ru pert's music room and study occupies the entire sixth floor, and there is no elevator. The other day one of Mr. Herbert's acquaintances wished to see him on a matter of business. "I'll be here until sharp noon," said Mr. Herbert. "Then I must go to fill an engagement. I- can't waif, a minute after the hour." Mr. Herbert's friend is built a good deal like an. grange, lie makes a good deal of a fuss about plain walking. Stair climbing Cs a thing he never does except under compulsion. When he reached Herbert's home it was just twenty minutes of 12. The servai telephoned up to the music ropm. "Tell him to come right up," said Mr. Herbert. Mr. Herbert's fat friend began climbing. He paused at the top of the first flight to breathe a little while. His pause grew longer and more impassioned at the top of each succeeding flight. When he got to the sixth floor he was just able to dab a damp hand at Herbert and sit down in a stuffed chair and begin to remove the evidences of internal heat from his steaming face. Mr. Her bert pulled out his watch. "It's ilvc minutes to 12," he said, warningly. His fat friend waved his hand at him mutely, and went right on doing some of the best panting of the cur rent season. His well-padded sides rose and fell like a hot air- balloon Just before the ropes are cast off. "Two minutes," said Mr. Herbert. "Ch, uh ugh," said his fat friend, feeling the veins in his neck thicken. "Twelve o'clock," said Mr. Herbert, snapping the cover of his watch. "Sor ry, I must go. Goodoy." Fifteen minutes later the wraith or a fat man crept down six flights of stairs, standing on each landing and hoHling to the banister until his knees stopped trembling.
