FRED W. MUL.KBY, United States Senntor-ulcct From Oregon. It Ih often Haiti, nnd with Homo de gree of truth, that tho bout men nro Hcldom selected for political honors. Tho cause of this In chiefly duo to the old boas system, which placed the miming of candidates In the hnnds of one man, who generally used hucIi pow er for tho furtherance of his own scl flub purposes In tho bargain and sale of oniccs. Tho result Is that under con ditions or this kind few high-minded, clean men would nsplre for political preferment. Happily, however, the people of Ore gon In their wisdom have done away with tho political Ijohh by tho direct primal y law, whose first trial haH given the people most grntlfylng results In the nomination and election of Hon. Fred W. Mulltoy for United States senator, tho Republican party of Oregon has set nn example for her sis ter slatOH to follow, by sending to tho highest lawmaking body In tho world, able, clean and progressive young men. Hon. Fred V. Mulkey was born In Portland, Oro., nnd Is a resident of his unlive city, lie Is a young man with every accomplishment which should qualify hint for tills high olllce. Ho In n gruduatu of the State University of Oregon, the Now York Law School of New York City, and In a lawyer of high standing, a man who has trav eled extensively In our own country as well au abroad. Ho has studied out Institutions and compared them with foreign countries. Ho Ih a logical thinker, a forcoful Hpeakor and nn adopt parliamentarian. Ho ban many friends, both rich and poor, for ho In a courteous gentleman, n congenial com pnulon, a loyal friend nnd a charitable and kind-hearted citizen. Mr. Mulkoy Ib a truo, tried nnd life long Republican, and has consistently supported tho parly nominee nt all times. Ho Is a high-minded, clean, cul tured nnd patriotic cltUen.whoKO entire life baa been Bpent In tho Btnlo of Ore gon, and to whose Interests ho Is de voted. That tho now Republican party of Oregon litm Blurted off right, nnd that Mr. Mulkoy will "mnko good" and bring to hlniBOlf nnd our ntnto grent credit nnd lnHtlng honor, Is a foregono conclusion. tnli n IV Ttnpknfollnr In n. director In I only ono company tho Standard Oil ' trust, it in oenoveu, inougu, umi u ban frlouds In tho directories of aev ernl other Intluontlal companies.

Sometime It seems as If the less a noinnn knows about anything the more sl'p like.1 to talk about It. When the average man makes a mis take ho tries to Justify himself by re ferring to bin good Intentions. Sumo men are kept so busy criticis ing others that they have no time to accomplish anything themselves. It's the easiest thing In the world to convince yourself that you are Just n little better than your neighbor. It's all right to dream of the great things you are going to do, hut don't forget to wake up In time to begin work. It may be better for n foolish man to ncqulru dollars by marrying an heiress than to remain without cents all his days. There Is a growing feeling In the country that the center of the meat In dustry In the Fulled States should be 'Spotless Town." The liiHiirauce magnates will prob ably regard It as nn Imperlluence for tin) grand Jury to Indict them for n little thing like perjury.

Even In tho most uutrnmuielod legislative assemblies tho practice of calling tho member of tho ministry murderers, thieves and assassin to their face would lw deemed to be matching parliamentary privilege tomewhnt. In tho doumn, liowever, we hear of llttlo else. It may bo that when the douma adjourns and tho members leae their privilege tho Siberian colony limy receive considerable accessions, but In tho meantime we cannot doubt that parliamentary free speech, at Wast, Is uot curtailed In Russia.

Questions concerning naturalisation have been of moro Importance to the United States than to nny other coun try In the world owing to the fact that the whole trend of our history has beou In the direction of nn Invitation to the discontented and oppressed for more than a century. The discussion iM'gnn long before Washington entered ujkhi his presidency, the declaration of Independence, Indeed, furnishing the darting point. In a vol u mo Just pub lished by Prof. Frank 0. Franklin of the I'nlverslty of the Pacific, under the title. 'The Legislative History of Nat uralization In tho United State"," the progress of the discussion Is followed In tho various governmental nets, nnd nt tho same time It Is niado apparent that right at tho start there was diffi culty connected with tho lack of uni formity In tho nnturallration laws of the several States, n difficulty which It perhaps most responsible for tho mens nro which has now passed Congress nnd U to go Into operation ninety days after ItM approval by tho President. Mr. Franklin's account Indicates that there Is nothing specially new In nnturnllxa Hon questions as now discussed, since the matter has been debated and rede- bated again and again over since the first Inw on the subject In 1700, unless It bo connected with tho tremendous tides of Immigration which have flowed In the direction of America during ro cent years. Two features deserve spe cial mention when the present measure Is examined, ouo tho barring of nn rrebNts and tho other the requirement of u knowledge of the English language on the part of tho would-be Citizen. The bill provides that no person who dis believes In or Is opposed to organized government should bo naturalized. Few w'lt question the wisdom 'of this clauce, for while the utmost freedom of thought, expression and net Ion Is popu lar with every American, tho wide lati tude permitted should uot Include the admission to citizenship of those whoso avowed purpose Is to destroy tho gov ernment offering them such freedom. What the practical value of tho clause will bo remains to be seen. It will bo easy for ono who seeks citizenship to conceal his real sentiments, to perjure himself, perhaps, thus gaining privi leges to which he would not Ik entitled It bis anarchistic sentiments were known. It may servo n useful purpose In excluding notorious enemies of law and order. As for tho requirement from the Intending citizen of n knowledge of the English language, that Is a wise provision which will work llttlo hard ship, but which will hasten tho efforts of many an Immigrant to lenru the com monly used speech of the country, and there Is much gained In a way when n torelgner shows his Intention to give up tho old tlo of language for the now ono of his adopted home. In practical work lug It Is unlikely that the language teat will be ho severe ns to prove a serious barrier to any worthy applicant. Thero probably will bo a great rush now to get In under tho old law, and much op portunity will bo afforded Judges for the exercise of care In admission. There need be no hurry about letting In to cltl xeushlp a lot of undesirable persona who havo not yet fully proved tholr worthiness. Tho laws have beon pret ty easy in tho past, and there are uot many who would be Injured by delay In their admission. Milk Ked Kid. This Is milk fed kid," said the leath er merchant. "It U very soft and fine nnd pliable, isn't It?" lie smoothed the delicate white akin and went on : "All first rate kid Is milk fed. It comes to us from tho French mountain- eers. These men are superb goatberdsJ Their immense hocks supply tue worm s kid gloves. Tho goatherds of Franco are careful to keep their kids on an ex clusive milk diet. They pen the llttlo animals with their mother In rocky Inclosures, where there Is no grass. At that tho kids often escape, often man ngo to cat solid food, for, with almost humnn perversity, kids that shouldu't be weaned wenn themselves early, whereas calves that should be weaned cling like grim death to milk, Ouo meal of grnss will spoil a kid's tsklu, will rob It of Its softness and pliability, will burden and coarsen nnd stiffen It; hence, when you buy kid gloves always choose tho milk fed kind."
