Entered at ttio potoffleo at Portland, Oregon, ai second cIrbs mittter, SUHSCItirTION. Onn Yriir, rnyitbln In A el vim ce 92.00 Established 189C. Published nt 246J4 Stark Bt. Third Floor. TIIK xN'i:V I'HIMAKY LAW. Tho recent decision of tho stato circuit court concerning the con stitutionality of tho Lockwood prim-j nry law has sot the politicians to work on now lines. Tho effect of that law will bo moro noticeable In Multnornnh county than elsewhere In tho coming contest. Tho network of corruption Is set In this county. Tho primaries havo hitherto been the machines through which desired results havo been ground out. A fund for that purpose has been in process of sturdy growth for some time. It Is still being augmented by tho regular machine graft. The graft In question Is an Insti tution of a faction only. It Is being fostered by that faction's manngers. Tho Now Age Is not disposed to yield to tho prcssuro to conccnl that fact. It nffoctfl tho destiny of a fac tion only. This papor Is not an or gnn for any faction. It believes that tho Republican party can win honestly. It ndvocntca tho employ ment of honorablo means to thnt end. It sees a chnnco for dofcat only In tho fact that tho sovereign pcoplo of tho stnto may question Its methods. Thoro nro thousands of honest votera In Oregon who havo small symapthy for tho factlonists of Mulnomah county, Too llttlo at tention Is being given to that fact. It Is a condition rather than a tho ory that confronts us. Victory Is possible, but It must bo won on lines of doccnt politics, If tho well known, grafters of Port land, official and otherwise, nro to figure prominently in tho battlo for ballots next June, tho election will result in disappointment to tho Re publican managers. This Is only a prediction, but It Is one well worth putting under hatband. WHO WILL BE SHERIFF? Candidates for tho sheriff's ofllco of Multnomah county contlnuo to multi ply. Bosldcn tho nnmos of Chief Dop uty Thlolson, Deputy Harry Myor, Constable Tom McNnmco, Deputy Ponumbra Kelly, Harry Dyer and Clerk Holmes, thcro nro half a scoro of others. It Is In truth a big ofllco. Some of the candidates for tho gubernatorial nomination from this county might well turn tholr atten tion to tho ofllco of sheriff of Mult nomah, If tholr nsplratlon for public placo bo suggeBted by the emoluments Incident thereto. , Ex-Shorlff Pum Kelly will bo nn In dopendout cnndldnto. Tom McNameo wuiitH the straight Republican nom ination. Chief Deputy Thlelson's am bition for tho place Ib backed by promises and dough. Harry Myor hits n promise up his bIcovo which he will cast Into tho ring nt the proper t lino. II, H. Holmes hopes to win on hla merits. Hurry Dyor'H competency Ih conceded by ovorybody, but no ono bns yet heard him declare that ho Is a candidate. And bo it goes. Othora mentioned aro prominent hi buslnoss in tho city, except Uond Supervisor Steele, whoso friends say thnt he tins a good chnnco. The light for first placo Is waxing warm nnd rosultB may bo looked for In tho very nenr future PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. With tho distinction of being tho youngest President over Installed Into that olllco, Mr. Roosovolt brings to tho dlschargo of Its duties an equip ment of wldo and varied experience in the public service, a broad attain rooiit In mnny fields of endeavor out side of politics nnd n sturdy American ism and lofty patriotism not surpass ed by any of IiIb predecessors. In public ofllco ho has shown ability tf tho highest order, tho striking fen turo of his personality being nn un flinching fenlty to law nnd nn unyield ing rovoronco for consltuted authori ty. His public utterances bIiow him to bo In happy nccord with tho poll eles of tho Into administration upon nil tho now and Important Issues that confront tho people, which Is n guar anty of douiostlo pence and tranquili ty. On tho question of tho enforce ment of tho civil service law hla rec ord shows him to bo sound, His in duction Into that high offlco, -let us hope, will ultimately sound the death knell of the "spoils system." To such a man the country can look with confidence for a wise and patriotic administration of national affairs. WHO WILL BE CONGRESSMAN? A good deal of quiet work Is being done in this congressional district to fix things before the primaries shall be held. A number of candidates are being groomed for Congressman Moody'B place, but the friends of the latter are not unaware of tho effort being made by hopeful aspirants. Governor Gccr wants another term, but In tho ovent of his nomination tho friends of Genoral Chamberlain, tho Democratic favorite, will stamp tho earth with great glee. Candidates are numerous. East ern Oregon will propose one, besides Congressman Moody, and maybe two. Portland will proposo two or three. Senator Fulton, of Astoria, won't luvvo it. The new primary law will affect tho convention's choice. Thoro Is considerable confusion, Just now, ns to what that condition will produce In tho way of change from tho beat en path of party work. Is It truo that tho Democrats are growing strongor every day? If so, that fact should wlold Its proper In fluence In tho primary contest. Al together, tho situation Is Interesting. A writer In tho Philadelphia "Sat urday Post" says that pay day Ib always a month off for tho spend thrift, nnd ho Ib never nblo to real Izo moro than CO conts on nny dollar that comes to him. But a dollar Is worth 10G cents to n good business mnn, and ho novcr spondB tho dol lar. Thcro Is both wisdom and er ror In thnt philosophy. Tho ex pression concornlng tho spendthrift Is Bound; that concerning tho mer chant who spends only tho 6 cents, Is faulty. Tho successful business mnn docs not count his gains' or succobbcb In tho Immedlnto prcsont. Ho rlsk.B ventures, chances land spondB tho dollar to make two ap pear In Its stead. Mlchaol Dnvltt, tho famous Irish leader, Is soon to mako a tour of this country in tho Interest of tho United Irish League. Ho expects to raiso a good fat purse to bo used at homo to mako It uncomfortable for old Englnnd. Tho Irish politician must have a sack, as well ns tho American politician nnd monoy Is scarce In tho Emerald Isle. Tho Washington Post wnnts tho nomocracy to nbnndon frco trade nnd other polltlclal cadavers and movo up to tho assault upon tariff schedules under which tho Post be Hovcb tho party may win. That Is a fair statement nnd tho Republican party will bo ablo to meet tho Issue squarely. A TALK WITH SIENKIEW1CZ. Opinion', Kxuerleitcce nuil Method of tho Novo tat. Faultlessly dressed and for his age lie Is to-day nil years old remarkably well preserved, he presents the perfect type of tho Polish gentleman, of that aristocracy which Is Inferior to nono In Europe, His manner Is languid; he speaks slowly and without volubility, uutl thuugh lie has done most of the things which this world offer for a rich mail to do, he seemed to take little hi teivst In anything outside of literature. This languor and ludlft'eiouce may pos sibly result In some degree from the Mnto of hm health a fever which he contracted during n six mouths' hunt ing expedition hi Africa hi 1801 bus left him with chroule dyspepsia its well ns from his habit of constantly smoking the strongest cigars. There litis also been a great grief In his life, says the Loudon Dally News. Hut when ho Is talking of literature ns, for Instance, when he spoke to me of Dostoievsky nnd Kipling his languor leaves him. He raises himself hi his chair, tho cigar Is laid aside, his eyes light up and Ills words come loud and fust. Heuryk Slenklowlez begnn to write and bns written ever since, purely from n love of the art. Indeed, hi Poland, authorship, unless combined with Jour nalism, Is a luxury which none but the rich can afford. Authors there tire the bucks of the booksellers. The condi tions of Grub street prevail and the payment for a bhcet of sixteen pages fulls below what even a modcrntely popular author hi England receives for Ills thousand words. Fortuuately for modern literature, Sleuktowlcz Is a man of fortune. "1 began to write," he told me, "when I was --' years old. At Unit time I was u student of history nt tho University of Warsaw. My first book was a novel called 'In Vain.' It was accepted and printed. That Is nil that I can say u to Its success," WANTKD-SKVKUAI.
