T DID IT," said Colonel Koosevdlt vhon tho ITiiiiod S.tntes'Soimtc ousted Lprimer, And tho only thing ho dlu was to refuse to sit nt a VanpntxtjWith the Illinois politician, but the next day sat do.wn. to cute with Boss Cox of Cincinnati, compared to whom Lorimor is clear indeed. Lorimcr was elected hv hriberv and should have lost his scat, .The votes were paid for in cash instead of political jobs and influence, and the money furnished partly by himself; and partly by big business interests. But Lorimcr was not a whit worse than many another senator. He is simply the goat of the purity of politics campaign to emphasize purity in our great statesmen. For years the toga has been the gift of the public service corporations. There was no secret about it. California senators were selected from among the attor neys of the Southern Pacific, Washington's picked by the Great Northern, while our Oregon senators were on the O. R. & N. payroll. Guggenheim was elected by the smelter interests, DuPont by the powder; trust, and so on half through the list. Ts Lorimer any worse thaithese"? Why roll eyes in holy horror and heave brick-bats at Lorimer, son of the common people, newsboy of the slums and product of practical polities and then ptiternj.e with the polished tool of malefactors of great wealth? Wiry refuse to dine with the, rugged product of republican policies, and then sit meekly down with the eormptiomst of a state, the saloon thug made rich by grafting a muni cipality and wringing the blood money from unfortunate women? Win draw the line at a Lorimer as unspeakable and then honor a Dixon by making him personal manager? Dixon, whose election was a, scandal in Montana as great as that of Clark's a few years previous; Dixon, whose scat Was openly purchased for him by the Amalgamated Copr per company, a branch of the Standard Oil; Dixon, who was broke when the trust bought him a seat in the senate and in the six years since jas amassed a fortune of Where did Dixon get this $300,000? The Missoula Scntmal says: "Dixon doesu t dare try to explaiu where tins money came from. The difference between Lorimer and Dixon is the difference between the burglar who was caught and the burglar who got away. Lorimer leaves the senate heal foremost; he is being kicked out, yet when Joe Dixon packs his baggage for Montana on the fourth of next March, he Vill retire to an obloquy as complete and a Repudiation as condign as that which has 3 list overtaken Lorhiier. He can't look ono man in Mon tana in the eye. and say that his election to the senate is' a whit cleaner; that his record is a scintilla less stained than that of liis Illinois prototype." Where did Roosevelt get the million spent in his primary campaign? Who is financing the Bull Moose party? Of course wc are "practical men," but is it any worse to secure a presidency financed by the steel, har vester and other Morgan trusfs, than it is to bin' a senator- ship financed by the Standard Oil, or financed by the candidate himself assisted by several interests? Purity in politics as preached by Roqsevelt glitters in the colors of the rainbow. As practised by Roosevelt, it is, as the late Senator Ingalls remarked, "an irridescent dream" THE MAN OF THE HOUR Coluiiol Thooiloro Hnoanvolt, cow boy, civil aorvlco ' eoinintmdoncr, llouUnuuit oolonut of1 UotiKh Klihirn, Kovernor, vleo preakU'ilt, president, editor, author, i!llos(i1tor, tluluta Hat, hunter, travolor, trtM trndor, hltth protectionist, roaulnr roinitillenn, radical, liiHiirRont, pniBrosdlvo ronnlir Ham, and third term ctindlrinto for president, la tho most vorill( adroit, masterful politician this country lias over produced.

Only the other day a $100 infected collie bit a child. Hitherto there have been , sporadic cases of rabies in eastern Oregon, among dogs, jioyotes and even rabbits, but this spring it first appeared west of the Cascade range. Warning was sent out a month ago by the state board of .health, and the seriousness of the situation is recognized in Portland by an ordinance compelling the muzzling of all canines. In 1909 the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Ser vice instituted an investigation as to the frequency of rabies in the United States, during the year 1908. All possible sources of information were utilized and com plete venlication ot the cacs was attempted m every instance. A comparison with the figures obtained in 1911 would indicate that the infection is on the increase. In 1911, cases were reported from 1,381 localities as against 53 in 1908, while there were 011I3' ninety-eight deaths in 1911, notwithstanding tho largely increased number of localities from which the disease was reported, as compared with 111 deaths in 1908. This is accounted for probably by the large increase in the number of in stitutions in which the antirabic treatment could be ob tained and by tho fact that the victims availed themselves more largely ot tins treatment, in jyup tliere were twenty-three institutions in tlie country where this treat ment was administered; in 1911 tliere were fit least forty iwfoj In addition tliere are a number of laboratories which supply material for inoculations to practicing phvsiciaus. The number of persons known to have taken the treatment in 1908 was about 1,500, while in 19.11 it Was 4,025. ' The figures for 1911 show that the period of incubation in nineteen out of sixty-five cases was between twenty-one and thirty days, this being the greatest njunber for any givei incubation pariod. Three cases occjpTcfl over twelve months after the injury. Tho average incubation period of all cases, excluding those over one 'year, w:as 49.23 days. Tho 'decrease in the number Of deaths in 1911 as compared with 1908 amounted to nearly 12 per cent. Striking facts brought out in this report are the wider distribution ot the ml cotton, its spread on the Pacific coast, which section in 1908 seemed to be entirely free from the disease, and thtdereased death-rate owing to better, facilities for treatment and better distribution oi the antirabid Yh'hs. , . (H.v ft. r;.'Mc0luro.) Tho jiopulnr hud only idea yet ad vanced or put in practice by nuy government parcels jsist is to re ceive and deliver articles without giving Or taking receipts, nlid there fore compelling the public to sttl'fer all losses from dtshohesty, ineoui teency or cnrelcusties. The mail service "has been ho re liable that insurance against loss on shipments by mail, of money and valuables, will be fiinii-licd by in surance companies ut a less rate than the express contpauics charge, lint exact accounts Anil perfect re cords is an nbholiitLiirio!iUal,i for the prover conduct of any big1 hii-d-ness; it is conducive of reliability, responsibility and integrity and pro vides the possibility of locating every delinquent, reward merit and eliminate incompetency, which is the first essential to efficient practical operation of any gigantic business. Tho Kqttii.se Bookkeeping Sys tem applied to tho Postal Express would -ttmko the original entry the only entry; nnd the waybill would be filed under its numerical designa tion in a vertical file, in one and only one place to look, giving complete evidence of every item and particu lar of each shipment. By treating ('. O. I)', as ntlvnnco charges, and settling all advance charges by a system of (lici'k re mittance, that would eliminate ad vance charge from the auditors ac counts, would render n perfect audi necessary service between 'producer nnd consumer with minimum labor and exjicnse. A spearate wnyhill bearing same number and date for each kind of charges, (prepaid, collect, advance.) Olid n cider designation for each, would simplify statements and ab stracts to merely listing the number and amounts of the waybills, and reduce tho accounting and auditing to absolute simplicity and crfcet accuracy, carrying an infallible proof" nt every step, supplied by the equipoise balance. Political action cauuot lie expected until publlu sentiment has crystal ized; and until' the iudlspetiHible ser vice rendered by express companies can bo supplanted by a more perfect system, (but will be. in reach of all shippers instead of the limited out of town deliveries, there should be bo change that would complicate in stead of simplify the express busi ness. A parcels post would disturb the middlemen in many lines of business and concentrate trade in largo cities, which the retail local stores would lose. This Would injure ds well as benefit the public in many different wnys. But by putting every pro ducer and Consumer in direct con tact, shuttling the middleman .out from all nefarious practices that produce high cost of living, the pos tal express would bo tho greatest public benefactor, with none of tho parcels post objections. equivocate and proVarlcnte with such shnuiolcfts' effrontery and yet get away glth.lt all Who clue could do this but Koosovolt?

Tanner to the state prosecutors' as sociation yesterday afternoon. "There is a growing feeling of dis respect for both attorneys and tho courts and I think it is largely due to the failure and delays in getting justice according to tho ideas of the people in criminal prosecutions."
