It will support nnd work for tho candidates of tho Republican party Konornlly, If not wholly. It thinks tho Republican convention did not qultu sufflclontly rccognlzo nnd ro allzo tho political ol)llgntlon owed to Sonatar Simon nnd other very faith ful Republicans who hnvo won the victories for tho pnrty In tho pnHt, and who must bo counted on to win victor ies In tho futuro. Tho Now Abo hns no npollBlcs or excuses to mnko; It haH always spoken kindly and con siderately of tho Rentlomon who nro now "on top" and "rldlnB In tho bnnd wnRon." It believes that they are good and true Ropubllcnus; support orH of Presldont Roosevelt as they woro of tho Inlo Presldont MeKlnloy. Tho New Abo hns no quarrel with them, Hut thoy hnvo a very Important duty to porform to tho party and to this city and state. Thoy did wisely In adJournlnB for " week. That will give tlmo for reflection . Whnt tho result will bo In Juno depends Inrgoly no doubt, upon tho chnractor and scope of their deliberations. Tho Democrats did not cast many votes at the primar ies, but they will cast a booi! many inoro at tho Juno election. Thoy will nomlnnto for tho hend of their ticket for Rovornor, Dlstrlct-Attornoy Geo. K. Chamberlain, who Is a vote-Better, nnd deserves to be. There Is no need in disguising this fact. Ho was elect- In dlBcussInK this fact. Ho was elect ed Attornoy-Gonurnl of tho stato when It wbb normally 0000 Republican. Ho wna elected District Attorney horo whon this county was normnlly 5000 Ropubllcnn. Thero must somo merit in a ronn who thus succeeds, nnd In the cnusos ho represents. Tho Now Ago rofUBca to be blindfolded; If tho Republicans nro RolnR to win, they will hnvo to face fnrts and oxtstlnR conditions. In tho InnRunRo of Orover Clovoland, " It Is n condition, not n theory" that now confronts tho Re publican party of Multnomah county and of OrcRon. Tho Now Aro speaks not for Mr. Simon particularly nt all has never dono so but It speaks for hundreds, evon thousands of Ropubllcnn votors, and especially for sovoral hundred Ne gro votors. These voters want Rood govornmont, too, ns well ub othore; thoy want, clean cnpnblo mon, nnd by tho way, stralRht, outrlRht Republi cans elected to oflleo. Thoy consul or this Important; nocesunry. Is It wlso, Ib It fair, Is It necessary, Ih It politic, under such clrcuumtances to crowd Mr. Simon nnd his friends ami supporters to tho wall, over tho ropoa, outBldo tho party? Tho New Aro belloves this will not bo dono. Thoro Is a chnuco for "harmony" yet. Hut both "factions" for It mlRht ns well bo frankly nckuowlodRod that thoro nro or hnvo boon factions must bo recognized, allowed to hnvo a voice and a vote, Isn't tills fair, reasonable, propor; noeossaryT If It Is determined to dofent Sanntor Simon noxt winter, very woll; mon ro up nnd down; but tho Republican pnrty will nytko n very serious mis take If It nttompts to ostrnclBO, po litically Senator Simon and his friends and supporters. Ho yet holds his high otllco for moro than n year; ho Ib yet a very potnttnl llguro In local politics; let not thoso facta bo forgotten. Tho way to hnvo harmony, just as In tho cauo of a strko, n contest be tween employers and employees, Is to mnko mutual concessions, Aro our friends McGinn, Carey, Mathowa and Scott willing to do that next week? If not woll. THE GOVERNORSHIP, Among othors aspirants, ono towers far nbovo all othors. Ho quietly, can didly, but energetically, says ho Is a candidate Ho lives In Enstorn Ore gon, and as tho Now Ago haH said be foro, that part of tho state Is fairly ssntltlod to this placo ou tho stato ticket. Eastern Oregon will probably unite, practically on Mr. W, J. Fur nish, and tho Now Ago thinks that Portland, ns a matter of politics, ns n matttcr of policy, ns a matter of bus iness, ought to give this nomination to Eastern Oregon's choice. Mr. Furnlflh, formely a Democrat from principle, Is now a Republican from principle and a good one there I aro no better. Ho wants no othor office will take none. Ho docs not dcslro to bo United States Senator in jtho future. Ho docs desire to bo gov ernor, nnd a very laudable ambition It la. Mr. Furnish has been tried In vari ous cnpacltlcs, public nnd private; In all of them he has proved himself n noblo specimen of young American manhood. Nobody doubts either hln capacity or his Integrity. Ho would mako nn Ideal governor for tho expo sition period. Ho Is In entlro sym pathy with that movement nnd enter prise as much ns any Portland man Ib or can bo. Mr. Furnish ought to bo nominated In tho Now Age's opinion In tho Bplrlt of harmony. Whllo perhaps classed ns tin "nntl-Slmon" man, ho has made his own fight on his own merits, has an tagonized nor Intorferred with any body. Ho 1b about tho cleanest, strnlghest, most admirable specimen of mnnhood that haB como prominently beforo tho people of Oregon; and such men should not be Ignored or turned down. Judge Carey Is a "good man" no doubt, but he iBn't nn Eastern Oregon man. Wo hnvo the two United States SonatorB In Portlnnd nnd It would bo "IiobbIbIi," Impolitic, to tnke tho gov ernorship also. Tho Now Abo hns n pretty clear vis Ion. It belloves yet, fit) It hns nil along, that tho Interests of both tho stato and of tho Republican party will bo best subserved by nominating: For goveornor, W. J. Furnish 'For congressman, M. A. Moody. CONGRESSMAN MOODY. It Is vastly Important to renominate nnd ro-elect Congressman Moody. Wo all really know that on nccount of his two terms' oxporlenco, ho Ib tho mnn for tho place. No new mnn could do tho work for Oregon that ho could nnd would do. Few mon, In fact, would have succeeded so well as he has dono. Ho hns boon n true, Intel ligent, Industrious, faithful friend nnd servant of OrcBon. Ho haB dono moro than anybody beforo him In that posi tion to open up tho Columbia river. Ho Is a careful, energetic, painstaking buBlnes.8 man yet a young man whoso dofent for somo now nsplrant would bo a positive disaster to Ore gon, nnd especially to Portland. Tho Now Ago hopes that tho gentle men elected Wednesday to tho Btato convention, oven If determined to 'o- feat Senator Simon, will at Icnsi do this congressional district, this stato, tho Pacific northwest, tho Justice to renomlnnto Mr. Moody. Ho Isn't clan tnorlng for it at all, but ho deserves it, and wo owo it to ourselves, to our business Interests, to keep him nt that Important position of duty. Thoro is no contest over Mr. Tongue pcoplo enro not whether ho was for froo silver, or what faction or clique he has belonged to in stato politics. Ho Ib rocognlzed as an nble, UBoful, forceful mnn, nnd the pcoplo of tho first district aro going to keop him thoro ns long as ho wants to stay. Why not do tho samo with Moody? Ho la quite ns dcsorvltiR, ovon If not work together in harmony for Oregon lawyor llko Tonguo. Thoy will work together In harmony for Oregon. Tho potential figures In congress nro tho men who stay thoro, Hoar, Allison, Morgnn, Piatt, Cannon, Oroavenor, Dclzoll, Pnyno nnd so on. A congress man amounts to nothing In his first torm, n llttlo moro In his second; In tho third ho begins to bo somebody, nnd can accomplish something. A now mnn would bo nn othor nobody. Williamson would bo a moro flguro head for tho first term; Moody Is now n potontlal man of business, who enn nnd will do what wo want done. Tho Ropubllcnn convention will mnko n serious mlstnko If In nny fan tloual spirit It turns down Moody, Tho nomination for stato offices go over tho 27th. It Ib practically set tled, according to tho Now Aro's pros ont Information, that Govornor Goor will not bo renominated. Tho Now Aro has known for many mouths that Mr. Geor should not seek n ro-nomlna- tlon. It would have boon Impolitic for htm to do so. Mr. N. II. Aloxander, who la n can didate for county clerk boforo tho county convention, needs no Intro duction to tho public, Ho was ono of tho foremost members of tho old Mul topor club and of tho Multorpor quar tette and has been an actlvo campaign er In his party for yours. Now our good friend Dinger, Ulngor tho handshaker, Illngor tho enillor, tho smilor, Illngor tho nffablo Dinger Hermann Imagines that nt last he might bo 80nntor. Well, ho may be.

McGinn, candidate for state senator, is a prominent lawyer, a life-long resident of Portland, and a very capable man. In somo respects he Ib probably thet ablest lawyer on tho Pacific Coast Ho has had experi ence in tho legislature, having served one term beforo as a stato senator and also as a circuit court Judge. Judge McGinn Is a big man, and will bo a larger ono In state politics, and may get into tho highest position, If for the plnce 1 regnrded It as a golden he has such an ambition, beforo 1910. opportunity to have somo fuu.

If nominated and elected ho will mnko a very nccoptnblo officer. The Ropubllcnn leglslntlvo ticket Is ou the whole an excellent one. It Is compoK'd of llrst-flaHH men, who deserve to be elected, as no ihmht they will be. Geo. E.

HE WOKE OP A SLEEPY TOWN. Ilow a Commercial Traveler Had Fa with the Iiaid-IIcaded Men. "One of the most nofible features of t certain little Western town I used to cover was Its extrnonllnnry number of bald-headed men," snld tho commer cial traveler, who would rather lose an order than fall In perpetrating a prac tical Joke. "Preacher and people, rich and poor, nil had heads like billiard balls . It was a dull town, so one night when a vaudeville troupe wns billed a cnoice assortment or ammaieu ca- uavcrs. "I went to the opera house nnd bought up the front row, twenty jscatB circling round tho stage, which 1 Rtnmped 'Not Trnnsfernblc.' Then I picked out twenty of the baldest men In that bald-headed community and spent the day circulating thoso Inter esting bits of pasteboard. I had a reg ular lingo, llko this: " 'Going to the show to-night? " 'I dun know.' "Well, you'd better go. it's n good thing. Here's n complimentary ticket I'd llko to give you If you will surely go, for yod so-) It's not transferable.' "Of course, every victim was wild to get something for nothing, so I nail ed my men hard and fast. The town had the usual quota of small boys, nnd Just before the piny began I filled the gnllcry with them. Everything went beautifully. My twenty baldhcads sat In nn uubrokca circle nroutid the stngo; the gallery was Jammed with young sters who thoroughly understood their part of tho drama. "Then I took my sent where they could all seo me. After the usual pre amble by tho orchestra the ballet put In un npponr.inco and swung Into line a scrawny crowd of superannuated dancers. Tho leader stood with up lifted baton, and tho ballet was wait ing far tho slgnnl. At this moment I raised my hnud, nnd from tho gallery en mo tho bellowing chorus: " 'UnldhcndB to tho front!' "In nn Instant tho nudlcuce of slow witted people 'caught on,' ns thoy saw that circle of baldhcads around the stuge. The orchestra had a hard tlmo trying to keep track of the tune; tho ballet tied themselves Into hard knots, nnd tho gallery .gods sent out n deafen ing tempest of howls nnd cat calls. "Each ono of tho baldhcads looked nt his fellow nnd crow red and wrnthy. ' 'I'lllttl Mini?

Again tho house wcut wild, nnd tho orchestra nearly smashed their In struments beforo the pandemonium ceased. It broko up tho everlasting calm of that town. The story spread to every surrounding hamlet; business boomed, orders woro doubled, and ev ery tlmo I went thero the boys 'set 'cm up. I wns awfully popular, but nover again could I Induco any one to accept a complimentary ticket to a show." GNOMES AND DWARF8. Tale of Folk-Lore Muy Have Been Founded on I'yKiulc of Africa. It Is Just posolblo that this typo of pygmy nej;i-o wulcli survives to-day In the recesses of Inner Africa may even have overspread Europo lu remote times. If It did, then tho conclusion Is Irreslstltble that It gave rlso to most of the myths and beliefs couuected with Kuomes, kobolds and fairies. The demeanor nnd actions of the lit tralts attributed to the brownies and goblins of our fairy stories. Their re markable power of becoming Invisible by adroit hiding In herbage and behind rocks, their probable habits In sterile 'supernatural attributes. The dwarfs of the Kongo forest can be good or bud neighbors to the big black people, according to the treat ment they receive. If their scltlsh depredations ou tho banana groves or their occasional thefts of tobacco or mnlze are condoned, or even If they nru conciliated by small girts of such food left exposed where It can be easi ly taken, they will In return leave be hind them In their nightly visitations girts or meat aud products or the cLase, such as skins or Ivory. I have been Informed by some of tbe forest negroes, says Sir Hurry II. Johnston In McCluro's, that the dwarfs will occasionally steal their children ami put lu their places pygmy babies of npe-llke nppearanco chnugellugs, lu fact bringing up tho children they have stolen lu tho dwarf tribe. These collections of pygmies, which one can scarcely call tribes, certainly exhibit from time to time Individuals of ordi nary stuturo aud with features uot strongly resembling those of the pyg my type.
