Probably there will come a time when red blood counts for something in Oregon politics, and then there will be more attention paid to offices like United States senator, but until that time comes, anybody can hold the office regardless of color or previous condition of servitude.

The grand Jury is now grinding out a cess pool of filth that promises to shock every person who has read the preamble to the constitution.' And all of this leads one to think that the east is fonrfwiw rru;t 'zzi dangerous. W remember when packing a convention Jn the west caused newspaper dispatches to go round the world, yet that same thing has been in the east for years and years and little has been Bald about it. . ,,...',,;;,, ,;; In, this material age It appears that the stars .and stripes fall to appeal to the gold-mad throng patriotism has been discarded and In its place the dollar has been Installed for it will buy Joy rides, wine and tempor ary pleasure. The constitution is a back number with these degenerates and no longer have we the young man irom the farm who. like Patrick Hen ry, delivers his orations with all that fervor and honesty capable of the hu man heart. . . . Without being pessimistic, we miint admit that the old things are passing and giving place to the flckln whlm and fancy bora under electric lights and at tables' of stylish cafes'. - The bone and sinew and hnneat brain of the country pushes its way into the towns and cities where it be comes mushy, fickle and uniiroduc- tlve.

Not content with this perforn.?.nee the alliance which the colonel charac terized with perhaps too much heat in his New, York speeches desires to repeat it two years from now. Har Ing helped them mightily to get the house of representatives, they want the colonel to help them to get the presidency. They and their publicity aeenta. which pretend independence, hut are really Democratic, want to'set Tafj and Roosevelt by the ears, Increase the division between sane and vis ionary progressives, sow mutual dis trust among Republican leaders ev erywhere, weaken the .partyorgan ization, depress its spirit and put a o-called safe and sane president in power who will set back for a generi i" Progress Roosevel started and Taft Is carrying on. . i This Is the whole meaning of the Ingenious Washington fictions that stung the colonel to his latest lndia4 cretlon pf speech. ; o - - ' If mmmmF price COLORS, BROWN, DARK AND LIGHT STRIPE, PONGEE AND GREY.

(Manitoba Free Press.) ; ; ; The deaths of Hoxsey and Molssant have evidently caused a strong wave of opinion; against sensational per fprmances in aviation. It remains to be seen whether there will be a reac tion in favor of developing the art of flying not showily but safely. 'The fact Is claiming attention that Mox sey, Johnson and Chavez, the daring aviator who flew over the Alps, all three holders of records for altitude, should have perished so soon after dazzling the world with their achieve ments In high flying, n may be that such feats beget a spirit of reckiess- I ness, a feeling on the part of their "iui"ti iney oear charmed lives, with the result that sooner or later comes the fatal instant of care lessness, if not or mishap. ' Exhibition flying has served its purpose in advertising the new snort and undobutedly has given the aercv plane many necessary and valnafcia testings. But what Is needed now la not the ability to soar higher, or to 11 m .. i-y laster. or to dive from i. -it. . . ' nrignts or air more daringly, but almply the ability to fly with reasou nblft safety. Surely the sooner in ventors ahd aviators realize this, the b- tter.

The steady growth of the long-dis tance aeroplane record Is less sen sational than flights more than two miles high, but it is far more Imnor- tant to the art The French aviator Tabuteau has recently covered 362 mllea at the rate of 46.2 miles ter hour. He was In the air seven hours and three-quarters. The best long distance record previous to that was 150 miles. When a machine is oro- duced which can carry two men and gasoline enough, some remarkable records for distance may be expected. Meanwhile there will, no doubt, con tinue to be sensational high diving and flying performances ' by daring aviators who will take the view that such aviation has by no means had the monopoly of fatuities, and that a fall from no higher than an ordinary house may be fatal no less than a fall from thousands of feet up In the air. , With the esteemed cucumber retail ing at 15 cents each, we are not in quite so much danger of stomach ache - as we might be.Ohio State Journal. . v i iJZ Boston elevated railway supplies voice culture to conductors so that they can say "Step lively," in kindly accents.
