A MATTER Or JUDGMENT.
The Progressive (Bull Moae) party
of Oregon held a mass meeting in Sal-1
em this week and named a state tkkeL
Many Progressives "vho are not in the
movement for office honestly believed
that the way to assist the national
ticket this year was to name no local
candidates and thus show sincerely a
arm stand for the primary law of
Oregon. But in the mass meeting the
sentiment was pronounced to name
candidates for United States senator
and congress. This same sentiment
wanted to pick over the Republican
ticket now before the people and pro
tect their pets by calling them Pro
gressives and not put out candidates
against them. An action like this
would have resolved into "fusion" of
the kind that swallowed the Populist
party in the nineties. It would also
have shown plainly to the rank and
Die of the voters of the state that the
Progressive movement In Oregon was
not a matter of principle but a vehi
cle for aiding and assisting in Indi
viduals. There was but one way to view the
question. Either no ticket at all was
the proper thing or a straight ticket
clear down the line was .the proper
thing, but under no circumstances
could men who believe that Roosevelt
should carry Oregon this year lend
themselves to making up a political
alate, the whole purpose of which
would be to render assistance to some
ambitious office seeker.
, - first, the fight was made for no
nominations In ttS mass meeting, but
the majority was against such a pro
ceeding. Then came the fight made by
Jhe ones who had pets to protect.
This was so apparent that It was
necessary to make a fight against It.
For Instance proteclton was asked for
Secretary of State Oltott and claims
were made that he is a Progressive,
lrop?rly withdrew and did not accept
the nomination.
As a representative convention of
the entire state the Dull Moose masti
meeting failed for its members were
chiefly Salem, Portland and nearby
towns. But as a conveyor of outi
monry which la about all that could bo
gathered at this late date, it was in
dicative by those present who tie
j sincere of the lighting feeling po.ssos-

ii;wever, diffvrnce in opinion is al
ii good to have, and the Judgment
SHOWED Kte CONTEMPT.
The Performance Was Costly,, but It
Rolioved His Feolinga.
At Dussiiux'a rt-stuuruut. In the
Grand Murskoi ut St. Petersburg, six
officers of the- Imperial Hurst guards
sat drinking cliuiuimiie. Not far from
them sat un liiHlxulnVnnt little mun
with a sbufohy coat und un unkempt
beurd and a t'luss of liquor la front of
htm. It was uot Ion;; before he beviime

the officers u foresaid.
By nnd by. as they bet-nine moru and
more oflVusire lti their remarks on bis
personal apimarance, etc., ho called for
the waiter and said, "Bring me six bot
tles of your best champagne.' The
waiter hesitated. "Did you uot bear
wbnt I said?" a.iked the-little num.
The waiter brought the wine and six

of those who desired the opening o
nominations and the further develop- glasses. 'Take these Elasses away and

and vote for Williams (or CQtnmlttee
jnan and. against everything In the con
TentlOn that would have apslsted
(Roosevelt's success, caused a lively lit
tle row and In the end a whole ticket
was placed In the field. There was
also quite a following of Clyde B.
Aitchlson, the Republican nominee for
-railroad commissioner, and claims
were made that it was a non-political
ofTice. As a matter of fact Clyde B.
Aitchlson never should have been
nominated by the Republicans of Ore
gon for he Is not the man for railroad
commissioner. He is the very man
the shipper cannot trust, hence his
tindeslrablllty. These things wcre all
mentioned and his fate was like 01
cott'a for 1m got a mau placed against
him.
One thing must be said of the Bull
Moose mass meeting it was a free
speech meeting; a meeting In whlc
each voter spoke in plain English.
This was best Illustrated by L. H. Mc-
Mahan of Salem, who dellevered a
lecture on Senator Bourne, which will
probably go down in the history of
the state as one of the tersest pieces of
oratory that ever pierced the Salem
atmosphere. 1

THE MOON AS WE SEE IT.
Its Mountains and Craters and Its
Lights and Shadows.
Tbe visible part of tbe moon Is about
equal to the superficies of North Amer
ica. It is very mountainous, and around
tbe vast dry plains wbicb form the
dark spots seen with the naked eye are
volcanoes whose funnel shaped craters
resemble old wells filled In by the de
posits of ages. ,
Maps of tbe moon show more than
83,000 such craters, some of them 200
kilometers In diameter.
Tbe radius of tbe earth Is supposed to
be nearly four times that of the moon.
ProporQonnllv the njooq Js much more
Mountainous than Ihe, earth. Ml the
lunar volcanoes are extinct '
Tbe moon was formed after tbe earth
was formed. It has gone to Its doom
faster than tbe earth because, as Its
mass is much feebler than tbe earth's
mass, it cooled faster. Tbe moon's Ugbt
and shade are clearly seen because it
baa no appreciable atmosphere.
The moon baa been called the "pan
th.ton of astronomers" jjecause IJs vol
