The month of Juno, just a year from this month, will bring around the state and county ..election. No 0 le is attempting to forecast results. Con ditions are so peculiar and uncertain that all are admittedly at sea as to what results a year may bring about. Tho old Republican 'party machine is rent mid torn by indictment land prosecution of its loaders. Aside from this, many aro of the opinion that it rocoivod a finishing blow with the adoption of the direct primary amend ment. Of course the liuud of tiiese men 'will, for e time, disgracod and cast out ns they aro, .move things. They have thoir hand on tho lever of the political machinery. They will not flaunt thoir own besmirched repu tations before the eyes of thoir old time followors, but tliey will push thoir pawns, responsive to their every bidding, out into the open. It will be easy enough to keop these political renegades, as far as their own per sonality goes, out of the management of public affairs. It will be difficult, however, to detect in every instance the tool thoy put up in their place in ordor to hoodwink the people. The alert citi.on, with the true interest of popular government at heart, will find here a profitable field to work in. It will become his duty to reason ear nestly wit!; his neighbor who fails to realize ' that the man is most danger ous and unfit for public offico'who is under the control of a contriving and discredited "bos?. " The diroct primary will give voters an opportunity to oxercise their choice. Thoy will not be headed off by con vention jobs and trades. If they are caught in the snaTos that cunuug offloe soekors have shrewdly laid for them they have onlytheir own ignorance to blauio. Under the new system there neod bo only an honost desire ou the part of tho people to secure clean offi cials to obtain thorn. It is claimed by some that the moral tide in our voting population is low. That improper motives infiuouce a largo percentage of the ballots. Whether this is fact or (lotion can be more nonrly determined under tho dirooct primary system. It is a propor time now for thoso who have an interest in good govern ment to consult, ouo with another, rogarding'meu and methods. Sohoinos hatched at the oleventli hour may have merit in them ,but thev nro sel dom successful. How about this' DOORS ARE CLOSlNd. The United States, from earliest history, has been known as the land ot golden opportunities. America, in colonial days, was the refuge of tho persecuted.; Hero was the long-sought oppotvinity for tho exorcise of mental nmr religious liberty. And thonjjmou eamo to retreivo their broken fortunes. There .was no lauded aristocracy to shut them out from jjt lie avenues to wealth. No nobility to enslave and hold then' down. Kyuy where the door was opento unboiimlcdopportu- mnes. j ney ami nioir successors might enter in. The door is closing new. Would a .young "man take up the tradesman's railing? The "Captains of Indus try" have occupied tlio'ilell and have lortified it against .intruders. Would ho'bocomo a counsellor or attoruey-at-JnV? The largo trust companies havo assumed tho duties that oucq mnde;tho calling 0110 of profit and honor. Much less Jmight he venture to break into the field of the carrier of freight or of passengers, of the packer or of the manufacturer. Wo do not say the door to opportunity is closed, but it is fast closing. Will not realization of this ooudition betho beginning of the end of tho triumphs of a politioal party that is bringing us to this end? The trusts'" grow fat oiRopublicau protection. Wlio'donbts it ? ITlierail ' roads kand the packing establishments take no worry from Kepublicauinves t igation. Why should they? Are they not tho Kermbheau party ? We need other men otner methods. We nood an awakening of the people toalroali.atioif that tlie.vitreniauip ..latod like pieces ou "a checker board, A clique oilmen have ruled this stale until they long since fancied they viwued it. They held titIounder It he name of tho Republican party. A like rendition prevails in thoimMorml government. Motli the state andjia- tion are on the point of regaining their freedom. 1 There is a man in tiie White Honse giving the "Captains of Finance" some worry. Should they demand as his successor one who would "danod to their music," the people may take a hand in the game. If yon are satisfied that the young man's field of opportunities is growing uarruw it might be worth while to give these matters some consideration. DEMOCRATS HAVE AN INNING. Tlie four elective offices in the state ranking foremost in prestige are those of governor, mayor of Portland, sher iff and district attorney of Multnomah county. Tlieso four offices are now rilled by Democrats. Why? Not be cause of the numerical strengtli of the Demcoratio party, but because elec tors of all parties were forced, by po litical manouvering, into a choico botweeu unfit men of their own parly and efficient men of opposing party affiliations. When sach an issue is raised sensible men do not stand on party lines. The time has not come and never will come when good results in government can be secured through degenerate, immoral or dishonest public servants. Men are frequently heard to say that thoy vote for prin ciples and not for men. The theory is good enough but it is safe to act on the assumption that good princi ples andbad men will not be found walking hand in hand. In the Portland mayoralty cor:test approximately an equal number of votes were cast on tho East and West sides. The West side vote included the 'worthless horde from the "Bad lands," the toughs and thugs and dive-keepers and all the soum that congregates in a large city. Mr. Wil liams, the Republican candidate, was successful in carrying this territory. On the East side, .where there are practically none of this class, Mr. Williams lost by a vote of nearly two to ouo. The intelligence of the Amer ican citizen is impressed upon us in spite ofan enormous normal Republi can majority and in spite of tho splen did organization of the dominant party, the people graspod the situa tion, and voted for a respectable city government. The trend of affairs is pointing to one conclusion. The people are weary of the dishonor and degredation to which our state's fair name is being subjected by reason of the corruption and lawlessness rampant in the dom inant party of Oregon, and it will not be surprising if, within the next few years, thoy turn it out of every place of honor in the state. Such treatment it has long merited. The people often err, but they usually get right in the end. Provision Against Fire. , Adolph Aschoff, who is in charge of Western Oregon forest division, is Dinging extra provisions against fires in the forests ofhis division this year. Additional rangers will be put in the field, who will tako great precautions agaiust fires that may be started this summer. Owing to the scarcity of snow the danger will be increased, besides it is expected that there will bo more tourists than usual in the mountains, who aro more or less care less in extinguishing their cam) fires.

Tho doctor pur chased a new niachino two weeks ago and he calculated to save time on his round of visits, but the auto had its drawbacks, and the principal one was its failure to keep on good terms with the "horses. Two encounters settled matters for tho doctor and he decided to return the machine, and did so. hack he has gone to a swift horse and rubber tire luiggv, to lie at peace with all the county.

Judgo Ryan, of Ore gon City, delivered the introductory address, in which he said that the time had come when farming should be done in this country along scienti fic lines. Dr. James Withycombe, of the Ag ricultural College, was introduced, and lie said at the outset that the far ai presented more inducemeauts to the young man than almost any occu pation time could be named, and ex pressed the hope that young men would remain on tho farm instead of rushing to the city and losing their identity behind the counter. "Stay ou the farm," said Dr. Withycombe. His topic was "Intensified Panning. " Professor A. B. Cordley told about "Spraying and Pests." He conducted an information bureau while on his feet, and instead of making a set ad dress answered such questions as tho farmers asked him. In answer to a question relative to tho worms that are destroving straw berry plants at Mount Tabor and else where, ho said that there were two pests, the crown borer and the root borer. 1'rot.essor Cordley said that there was no remedy for these pests except that the farmers combine and destroy tho plants whore they make their nppenranoo. Professor L. P., Kent talked of "Profitable Dairying." Have You a Cough? A dose of Ballard's Horchouud Syrup will relieve it. Have you a cold?
