The Still City eeerra to have a lot of

It is a bard fight against discourag

It never has had enough funds to do all

that it la endowed fully for permanent

The Count had run Into door In the

by hia dog while the animal was In a

The billboard and poster propaganda
of the Democrats was an expensive
affair, but as predicted In a previous
dispatch to Tha Oregonlan, it seems to
have been very effective. The cost to
the public for the machinery of the
primary and election was 1175.000.
It has been urged against the pri
mary system here that It precludes a
man of average means from becoming
a candidate for office on account of
the heavy expense involved in the
double campaign. Few of those who
might like to hold office and are
abundantly qualified by ability and
honesty to do so are able to hand over
the 12000 or $5000 for the sinews of

Veteran Patrolman Quits.
"Andy" Rohan has quit the force.
He was a member of the police depart
ment 34 yeara, starting when tha force
numbered 220 and ending his active
career when it had grown to 4000.
Rohan's rstirement on account of age
marks the passing of the last of the
old school, in which were Included Jack
Shea. Joe Kipley, Billy Hallroan, pat
Costello, Denny Kay and Mike Schaack.
Rohan feels that he has accumulated
a lot of lore about crime and criminals
and that he la qualified to talk there
on. He proceeds upon the premise that
a criminal cannot be reformed. If the
man goes beyond the ag of Z! without
committing some crime, he says, he
is likely to go through life with a
clean record.
T would wipe out th parole law,"
declares Rohan. "It has Increased th
annual erlme of Chicago fifty per cent.
The Indeterminate sentence law la a
crime upon society and the state. Crim
inals should be Imprisoned for a defi
nite term and prisons ahould be places
of punishment, not asylums for re
form. 1 am convinced that steriliza
tion Is the only remedy for crime.
Adopt that system of dealing with it
and crime in this country would be
practically obliterated in 50 years.
"My observation leads me to say that
pocket picking is at once the least dan
gerous and the most lucrative sort of
crime. It is the least dangerous part
ly because pickpockets go in gangs.
They have a large common defense
fund, which la drawn upon to save
those who are caught In tight places.
They swear falsely to alibis and they
corrupt guardians of the law. As a
rule a clever pickpocket does not stay
long In prison. His psls find a way
to get him out. An expert and indus
trious pickpocket easily makes $15,000
to $20,000 a year. Chicago citizens ara
robbed In this way of about $250,000
a year, or 15000 a week. The captures
and convictions are few, and the parole
law and other modern fads render nug
atory the few convictions thera are.
"Tha night burglar Is the most dan
gerous criminal in tha world. He Is
more to be feared than the highway
man. He enters the place he intends
to loot with his mind fully made up
to save himself in any emergency, even
at the cost of human life. He haa nine
points of advantage out of ten over
his victim.
Dead Raised to Life.
Th marvels that modern surgery has
brought about were disclosed In as
tonishing feuts during the Congress
of Surgeons of North America here.
A dog was "resurrected" after his
heart had stopped beating and he was
to all appearances dead. It was shown
how the face may be robbed of some
of its tissue to build up an abortive
nose; how a little girl's leg furnished
the healthy bone wherewith to replace
her diseased arm; how the much-maligned
appendix is being used as the
gateway for getting into the interesting
and cleaning them out; how the stom
ach may undergo Illumination for sci
entific scrutiny "n diagnoses; how ar
teries may be snipped apart and bound
together again; how kidneys that are
floating around loose may be restored
to the reservation and be hitched
there; how certain parts of an eye
that haa become uaelesa to Its owner
may be transplanted to serve a prac
tical purpose for somebody else, and
how the lifeless members of the re
cent dead may make up for deficien
cies In the living.
ter. not far from the Ecole des Beaux
Arts, and within a stone's throw of
the Email, poor hotel where England's
greatest latter-day poet, playwright and
philosopher. Oscar Wilde, died in pov
erty and suffering. To her belongs
the garden where Cornellle used to
walk when thinking out his Immortal
poetry. Not long ago ahe won tie praises
of a French school of poet by . re
storing a Greek Temple of Love, which
Adrlenne Lecouvreur built to commem

A word about the mother of these
two gifted girls. Mrs. Clifford Barney
has a house in Paris as well as in
Washington. Norman French on her
maternal side, her family was driven
out by the Great Revolution, and her
great-grandfather signed the contract
by which Napoleon ceded Louisiana to
the United States.
Mrs. Barney is known in Paris as a
painter of great achievement, and art
ists recall that, when she was a pupil
of Whistler's, he said to her: "You are
too clever. Be careful." 8he exhibits
In the Salon, turns out work .of a high
cla'ss and more of It than any society
woman in the French metropolis, not
even excepting the gifted Madame Mad
eleine Lemalre.
Among the portralta painted by Mrs.
Barney are those of Mrs. NichoU-i
Longworth, the Countess of Suffolk,
formerly Miss Daisy Letter, Madame
Emma Calve, the gifted singer, George
Bernard Shaw, the playwright and Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, the actress.
Mrs. Clifford Barney finds more in
tellectual appreciation in Paris than at
home. This is because, as St. Gaudens
haa said, there are more clever peopla
In Paris than in any other city. Tha
deadly sin which aha sees In Washing

Is that it dees not, she says cannot, apn

and, finally, that all nations should
have one universal House of Justice

of Laura Clifford Barney's Persian

"Every man has his price but some
men have no commercial value."
"Men wish to be our sweethearts who

Natalia Clifford Barney la a poet as
well as a playwright and a gentle
philosopher. She first attracted atten
tion by her "Sonnet Portraits of Wom
en. Then, fascinated by tha great
pagan poetess Sappho, she not only
wrote a play called after her, but put
it on th stage, directed It and designed
the costumes. Miss Palmer, daughter
of Courtland Palmer, of New York,
