PARTNERS WITH VICE.
(Portland Oregonlan.)
Ex-Mayor Northey of Huntington,
Is not hurt in the. least, It appears, by
the summary demand of Governor
West that he resign his official posi
tion and his place as cashier of a
-Huntington bank as well, for the pub
lic good. But he gracefully remarks
that the governor Is a dandy, and gets
out. From which It Is evident that
the ex-mayor awl ex-cashler Is a
philosopher as well as an associate
officially of grafters, macquereaux,
gamblers and the riff raff and off
scourings of a wide-open frontier
town. We draw this Interesting con
clusion from Northey's own remarks
nd from the record as furnished by
the governor.
Therebas been a gross defiance of
decency and law at Huntington for
many months. The officials have
done.nothlng to protect the public and
It Is evident that they have actively
countenanced gambling, prostitution
and all orts of vice and have not been
vlj'lant In the prosecution of other
rlr.tes growing out of these shocking
-ondlt!ons. The plea Is made that It
Is a railroad town, and these things
cannot be prevented.
Then Heaven help the town and the
Tallroad men. The facts are they
always are In such cases that the sa
loons and gamblers and the scarlet
women wera In a partnership of law
less effort to get the money away from
the railroad employes and any others;
and the conspiracy extended to the
business community, or a pirt of It.
The money was "circulated" and
everybody got his little bit. Shame on
such rotten business.
When a mayor or town marshal or
a sheriff tolerates the Infamous col
lusion between whisky, gambling an I
prostitution, and decent people are
helpless, Governor West Is rlht In
taking a hand. If be cannot suppress
chronic disorder or persistent and no
torious vice, except by calling out it?
I (.tlonnl guard, let. him call out the
rational guard.
That was a remarkably honest Chi
cago doctor who sent In a certificate
of derh wta his name signed In the
pace reserved for "cause of death."
He must have been either absent'
minded or conscience stricken.
A St. Louis man claims to have In
vented a shoestring that cant be un
tied. Maybe we can tceustom our
selves to sleep with our shoes on, bdt
It'll take Mine.
Jduging from the urgent appeals of
the wast for help In handling Its bum
per crops, It seems to be the current
opinion that the Bible story about the
beauty of the hnrvest fields Is a myth.
A bill has been passed by the house
of representatives permitting all em
ployes In cigar factories to smoke
three cigars a day without duty. Con
gress Is getting ltbrval.
They must pay better salaries lo
journalists In France than they do in
this country. Infanta Eulalla wants
to marry one.
Forty thousand barrel. of Michigan
apples, making up In all five train
loads of 40 fruit cars each, are to be
shipped to Great Britain this season
from Michigan. John Bull knows a
good thing when he sees It.
Oh, well, there are any number of
men In this country who would be
willing to serve only one term as
president
It doesnl make any difference how
of.'Ci" the Mexican rebellion makes Its
last stand. It seems to have one more
stand left.
Fire men were arrested for sleep
ing on the Ohio state house lawn.
They should get political Jobs and do
their sleeping Inside the building.

J. Alfred Spender.
J. .Alfred Spender, editor of the
Westminster Gazette, who Is mention
ed as a possible successor to James
Bryce as British ambassador at Wash
ington, was horn In Bath, England.
August 8, 1862, and received his edu
cation at Oxford. He was editor of a
paper at Hull from 1886 to 1890. He
Joined the staff of the Pall Mall Ga
zette In 1892, but left the same year
to Join the editorial staff of the new
Westminster Gazette which now ranks
as one of the chief government or
gans. The appointment of Mr. Spen
der to the Washington post would
mark an Innovation In British diplo
macy, since he has had no training In
the diplomatic service. He Is, how
ever, considered a clear-sighted politi
cian and thinker from a liberal point
of view, and has a strong personal In
fluence with many members of the
British cabinet.

Krupp Centenary Celebration.
been going forward for nearly two
years, began today a'. Essen. Tile cel
ebration Is attended by the Emperor,
William, at the head of a brillian' gal
axy of his fellow-German sovereigns,
generals, admirals, and civic digallar
Its. The celebration w'll last ai entire
week and will be of a most imnosina
ing and memor!;l.j character. The
chief feature will be a great pageant
which will fmbo'iie the substitution
of firearms for the old weapons of
t'io middle ages. "P'e principal scene
ol the pageant will be an episode from
the life of the Emperor Maxmil'vi 1,
and 250 retired officers of the German
aimy are to play the parts of knights.
During the period of the celebration
the emperor and other royal guest-?
are Quartered at the Villa Hugel, tlie
splendid country house of Herr Krupp
von Bohlen-Halbach, who by marry
ing the elder daughter of the late Herr
Krupp became the head of the firm.
The villa Is' located. Just outside Essen,
The other notable guests at the cele
bration are being accommodated at
the hotel In Essen maintained by the
Krupp company exclusively for the
accommodation of foreign buyers of
their gums, armor and ships, who are
always at Essen In large numbers.
The strong personal Interest that
the emperor is manifesting la the cel
ebration is not surprising In view of
the fact that the firm of Krupps is
almost a government Institution. The
armament branch of its business is In
direct touch with the German army
and navy and studies their Interests
before anything else. The firm Is in
short an Integral part of the German
empire and during the past decade or
two It has done more for the military
power of the empire than any com
mercial firm has ever before been able
to do for Its government. Its patriot
ism needs no better proof than the
fact that the firm, while making guns
and armor for nearly all of the lead
ing nations of the world, has stead
fastly refused to do any business with
France since the Franco-Prusslon
war.
The foundation of the world re
nowned firm was laid in 1812 by the
first Alfred Krupp. But It was his
on, the second ot the name, who gave
profits for, fifteen years were no more
than enough to pay the wages of big
workmen, and frequently he was at
a loss to pay the postage of his corre
spondence. '
Alfred Krupp saw the possibilities
of the great exposition to open In
London in 1851 and decided to take
advantage of It. He had made Import
ant discoveries in the casting of large
masses of Bessemer steel, which had
been an insurmountable task previous
to his time., The exhibit be sent to
London fairly astonished the world
and It at once established his reputa
tion. Orders began to pour In and
soon there was plenty of work to do
at the Essen factories.
The making of heavy ordnance,
which has made, the name of these
works famous the world over, was not
then a prominent part of the business.
One of the first large orders Herr
Krupp got for firearms was four years
later, when Prussia gave him the con
tract for her new breechloaders. Soon
general foundry work and the making
of small arms began to take second
place at Essen, as heavy steel siege
guns and armor plate demanded more
and more attention.
In 1832, after the second Alfred
Krupp had been at the helm six years
there were but tne men employed at
the foundry. But after he fairly got
started Herr Krupp extended his busi
ness rapidly, borrowing large sums of
capital for the purpose and adding
new workmen by thousands to his em
ployes by the stroke of a pen.
Today the firm employs upwards of
70,000 workmen. More than 40,000 are
employed at Essen, while the remain
der are distributed at the great col
lieries owned by the firm, at Its Iron
ore mines, the works at Madgeburg
and at the great shipyard at Kiel. The
firm has many miles of Its own rail
roads and also operates Its own tele
phone and telegraph lines, electric
works, gas works and street railways.
Alfred Krupp, the real founder of
the firm, died In 1887 and was succeed
ed by his son, Frederick A. Krupp.
The latter died In 1902. At the time
of his death he was by far the rich
est man In Germany. The bulk of
his fortune and the xontrol of the
Urm were left to his daughter,' Frau
