THE PRIMARIES AND CONVENTION. COUNTY The Plaindealer has received a communication recardinsr the above subject which "had to be assigned to the waste basket because it was only signed "Republican." And again we desire to impress upon our correspondents, under no considera tion will we print a communication the author of which is unknown to us or who fails to sign his name not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. Kerardimr the enquiries made in the communication, and other affairs, we desire to state: The Plaixdeal er is a newspaper to publish items of news and to advocate measures of interest and benefit to the members of the Republican party in Douglas county, and every Republican or ofBce-holder or office-seeker can have just as much Interest in the columns as any other man, by paying two dol lars per year. That is the amount of subscription, and for the past year no man has had any greater interest or pull than that amount. The writer of the communication is evidently an office-seeker, for he com plains of "rings not giving any man a chance." There was every chance offered by the Plaecdealee for any man who was a candidate to 'come to the front, and if there was a ring, to smash it. The columns of the Plain dealer were offered to any man who wanted to announce in a manly man ner for any office in the gift of the people, and there can be no complaint, made on that line. The facts in the case are, the Republican factions of Douglas county love to be humbugged and as individuals to humbug them selves, and there is no place on earth like Douglas county that . we have ever dreamed of, for men to hum bug themselves. For seventeen months there has not been a. single day that we can remember that we have not heard about - rings. We hear of rings at Drain, Oak land, Roseburg, Myrtle Creek, Riddle, Canyonville and Glendale and even at Lookingglass, and; every man who wants an office today is forming a ring to down some other ring; and three out of every four as- t pirants for office advance the theory that the proposed primary election bill, if it becomes a law, will be the means of doing the other rings up, Price of Proxies. The correspondent -wanted to know if the past record would, -be kept up and how much would be paid for proxies in the county convention? We do not know, but if there are proxies for sale the correspondent had better make his wants' known by inserting an advertisement As general proposition the price to be paid for a proxy depends . upon the amount the other fellow will pay for it and then raise him one. But to show the hollow mockery of the en tire proxy business, there are quite a number of republicans who are eter nally kicking against the proxy' "busi ness whose only hope to sit in the county convention is by virtue of a proxy and this is true of members o: both factions m the party. .If either faction sincerely desires to do away with the proxy plague why do they not cause to be introduced before the County Central Committee a resolu tion stating tnat tne various pre cincts are entitled to elect so many delegates and .alternates to the conn- J ? f . y nonunaiing convention and no proxies will be recognized. A measure of this kind would purge the party of such a deplorable state of affairs and unify the party at once. If a precinct has not interest enough to be represented by delegates or alternates, it should not be represent ed by proxies sent to Roseburg citi zens or the citizens of other precincts, XI llf H t 1 . 1 ' tnua enaDimg mem to DUUd up rings and combines not dreamed of by the unrepresented precincts. Kegraratagr tlie Primaries. We do. not know when the primar ies or the county convention will be held, but the want of that knowledge is not working any harm to any can didate, for the longer the matter is deferred the shorter will be the agony of suspense and the more time the candidates will have to get in their -work before the people of the various precincts. In a widely scat tered county, like Douglas, there are many clashing interests among can- HidatAA. and wliilfi tp.n t.hnnswind flfjirf- ling events and changes have oc curred in the history of the world, the United States and in Oregon, we have here in this county the primary election and convention methods adopted at the first settlement of the country, and without a change in the program, with the venerated moss of ages clinging to it, we have the pri meval purity of before-the-war tra- dition. so tmre and snotless that as the aroma ascends to heaven the kick- , i i ers of both factions declare that the incense stinks. The kickers have had a chance were importuned to overthrow the ring, if ring there be to come before the people" and have their say: to tell the people what they aspired for, and all that, to change the order of political affairs and get before the people in a mod- ern manner, but the effort was too irreat. Thev all want Dlums. but are afraid to tell the people that they have a longing in -that direction, and then thev whine and kick because the people have not caught them and forced the plums down their longing throats, and when one man loes break awav from tradition and snatches a worm from the mother bird and throws out the weaklings like a young cuckoo in a sparrow's nest, the oust- ed candidates, like the birds thrown out of the nest, curse long and loud in mournful note until for them time is no more. If any man wants an office and wants the people to know that he de sires to serve them", and to inform them, so that they can instruct the precinct delegates to the County Con vention, of their choice, the proper place to make his desire known is the public press, and this is the essence of-the new primary law which all the candidates of Douglas county Ion; lor, but nave not the moral courage to advocate by their own personal example because they are bound by moss of political tradition. Tne Plaindealer has opened up the chan nel to the County Convention nomina tions, and alter tne convention is over it will support the nominees of the party to a man. REPUBLICAN" A POLITICAL SCALAW AO." from tne.tenor 01 tne articles a man who aspires to the office of State Senator on the Republican ticket, acts the part of a political character assassin and attacks the present incumbent. regarding tne personal attack on the present Senator, we have nothing to say, as he is able to defend him self, or should be. The Plaindealer does not know who is hiding behind the masks, "Re publican," "Taxpayer" and other dis guises, nor has it tried to find out, but from the tenor of the articles pub lished in the Review, it is clearly ap parent that it is a creature who wants to tear down one man to build him self up. The fellow's only strength is another man's weakness, or what he supposes to be weakness. And here we take occasion to reiterate, any man attacking another man in the columns of the public press, who will not sign his name to the article, is a self-confessed moral coward and character assassin. The creature who signs himself "Republican," says: 'It does not matter whether the writer of tne article signed "Kepub- ucan is a repuoucan, a democrat, a 1: t n 1 j t r pvpuuab, Ul X ICUU Ui.

Yes, it does, because if the writer is a democrat and he signs himself Republican," he is a self-confessed falsifier to start with. If he is a Re publican, he is attempting to court favor with the democrats and to sup- ply them with information to defeat the Republican nominee, if he, "Re- publican," is not the nominee, and he is committing political fornication with the Democrats, to be elected to office at the expense of honest, up- right, straightforward Republicans, If Republican" is a Democrat or populist, he is a self-confessed im- pestor and desires to stir up strife in the Republican ranks. And. we want "Republican" to re- member this fact: no man or com- bination of men controls or advises the utterances 01 this paper, and re- garding the editor being a "recent ar- rival in Oregon," we have been here eighteen months and have found out this fact: there is no difference in a cowardly, political scalawag who works with base methods and tools anu aiwmpu. u raraiuaw uy buik- j .11 l x- r i 1 i i ug la me uar auuiu tiio ikwk, m uregon, man in any uuwr part 01 tne word.

When Will the Goods be Delivered During the past two months quite a number of men' have been approach ed by the Booths and asked to come out as a candidato for either the of fice of Register or Receiver of the Land Office and the promise was made that at tho proper time tho candidates should receive "endorsement". A, this was done to build up . "Bobs" fences in the coming political contest for State Senator. As a . result of the decision of the United States supreme cour giving to the Northern Pacific railway abso lute title to the land embraced in the "overlap" district, about 300 settlers are left without title to their homes and may be ejected. The "overlap' district contains 4S,458 acres in Clarke and Cowlitz counties, Wash ington, most of which is rich land. Some of it has been under cultivation for years, and been improved into valuable farms. Great orchards, hop fields and dairies have been developed and some of the farms are worth thousands of dollars. China is moving troops to the front and is preparing to attack the Russian cruiser Mandjur, now at Shanghai. There are renewed reports of an attack on Port Arthur, and the Those who buy 5 cents worth of salts or a dimes worth of camphor have tho assurance that they are getting the purest and best that can' be produced. DRUGGISTS ROSEBURG. ORE. story is that Russia is strongly en trenched and will make a stand in Manchuria if not a general attack. The advance of Chinese troop3 com plicates matters and endangers the general peace of Europe. A Manchester dispatch of Wednes day says: "It is learned from high authority that the malignant growth in the kaiser's throat is the cause 0: grave apprehension and the worst news may be heard any day." The paper adds that sincere hope is every where expressed that the reports are erroneous; but unfortunately there is little ground for hope. Careful investigation shows that the European public as a rule favors Russia in the present conflict. France is now closer bound than ever: Aus tria naturally favora the Muscovite; "I . T v a uermany is pro-nussian: Italy is bound by the driebund, and Spain fa vors Russia. England, however, is 1 staunch, friend of Japan, and Sweden is becoming more so on account of the Finnish anti-Russian feeling. The reply of the United States to Russia's protest against Japan is ox- pected to be nothing more than an acknowledgment of its receipt. State officials still announce that the United States will keep out of the imbroglio in the far eastern situation as much as possible, but will allow no fooling, Crow Morecrowl . . Bettor crow , .

In honor of the immortal Washing ton, tho decorations in tho banquet hall, aBide from numbers of potted palms, consisted entirely of flags and. bunting in the National colors, draped gracefully from the center chandelier to each wall and four corners, forming a double cross. In U10 theater below, where tho uramauc sketch, "Dearest Mamma" was presented and where dancing was later participated in, tho decorations were more elaborate aud pleasinc in ueeu. rurnie buntinir. roval .-nlnr nf !. tho order was draped gracefully from tho freire. Mirrors of huge proportions rested on the wainscoting about the room, their frames hidden beneath fern Ironds which also formed a beautiful fresco reaching from the mirrors to the drapery above. In tho center of each wall and on either siilo of tho stago were great National flags, tho charm of their glorious red, white and blue beinir en hanced, if possible, by the beauty of the setting. Above tho center of the stage, resting against "Old Glory" was an enormous elk head, each antler tipped with a tiny purple light Another such iieaa above which were the portraits 61. George and Martha Washington framed in a semicircle of electric light, was placed at the center of the balcony rail", while on either side was "Welcome La- eies" and "B. P. 0. E. Lodge 320" aleo in glowing incandescents. The guestB, nutnberingover three hun dred, were revived in the banqnetroom where the program was opened at 8:30 by an orchestra overture followed by the address of welcome by Exalted Ruler B. F. Waite, whose happy remarks and pleasing delivery won much applause. After anoth er orchestra selection Miss Audrey Bridges and Wm Van Leuwen, besides whom there are no more popular young people m the city, sang. "O Tell us Mer ry liirde," followed by a tenor solo by Mr. Al Veatch who was compelled to re spond to an encore, as the applause was unceasing and insistent. After another overture Mrs. A T. Steiner rendered a soprano solo in her usual charming manner, the orchestra played that pleas ing medley ."southern Melodies" and the eocial session was begun, during which many unhappy fclks were forced to part with much coin as fine for all man ner of imaginary offenses- At 10:30 the uuests were ushered into the theater where for an hour "Dearest Mamma,"" a comic sketch amuced them. Although the characters are all rather inexperi ence amateurs the presentation could not have been bettered, save for a few unimportant details. Jlies Kathryn Fullerton &s the loving, mistaken, tear ful wife was excellent, while Miss Ger turde Rast, the foxy widow was clever, brilliant, amusing. Nclse Osmund- son as tho misunderstood and forgivine husband, maintained .the character in a faultless manner, while Earl Gaddis a cynical bachelor was all the lines re quired. Warren McWilliams was an absolutely correct butler and L. A. Sanctuary was inimitably funny in the good-natured, somnolent presentation of Uncle Browser." The affair was di rected by Mary Kouncelor Brookes, who appeared as "Dearest Mamma," the meddlesome mother-in-law. Following the farce the banquet rooms were again opened and a pleasing pic ture was presented by tho long tables where an elaborate banquet was spread and about which more than three hun dred gneats sat. -At the close of reiast luasimasier u. r. auo called upon A V . District Attorney George M. Brown t I "II? . , . wuose oriiuani ana eloquent toast was Our Order." District Judge J. W Hamilton followed with a toast, "Our Guests, the Ladies" and bis remarks, bright and clever, might be summed up in "they halve our sorrows, double our joysnd triple our expenses," but prob ably tho brightest, wittiest after dinner speech was that of Mrs. Marsters, wife of Senator A. C. Marsters, who respond ed to Judge Hamilton. Judge J. C, Fullerton closed the toasts with "Our Own Great Washington," and while there is probably nothing new to bo said on tho subject, the height of cleverness is to do as did Judgo Fullerton say the old things over in an altogether new way. Following the banquet the dance in the theater was formally opened with the grand march led by Miss Mary K Urookes and L. A. Sanctuary, and it was here, mingling in the figures ot the march that the pretty, multi-colored frocks of the women showed to.the most pleasing advantage. Dancing began at one o'clock and despite the lateness of the hour was continued with unflaging pleasure by the younger of the guests until the orchestra in tho tiny hours of coming day played "Home, Sweet Home," and dispersing, tho dancers happy though weary realized as they stepped into tho .cool air, the earth a-sparkle under a frosty mantle, that tho Elks' big social was but a memory, a happy memory and ono which will be cherished until another has como to takoitB place, for nothing can eclipse tho brilliancy, the pleasure, the joyous remembrance of an Elk social, save another one presided over by tho enmo genial hosts. Great is tho Benevolent andProtectivo Order of Elksl The Cornerstone. 1 ho laying of n corner stone under tho nueplccs of the Macons is an interesting nd impressive ceremony. At tho exor cises at tho High school building last Monday this fact was most beautifully fxemplified. Invoking tho blessing of Almighty God on tho undertaking, and asking His prescrvanco of the building for thousands of years, Grand Master Mason S. M Yoran announced that tlio stono should bo tested ns to its perfec tion. It was tried with tho instruments and pronounced io havo been, perfectly mm and hkillfully wrought from the hand of this simper. On tho end of tho stone wits ongrayed tho Masonic emblem of tho eqiiaro and compass and on the side tho figures, "l&M., Tho coppo'r'-box containing' tho en closures of documents was then placed in the cavity ninde- for its reception. "May long ages pass, away o'er these papers and jewels are again seen by men," was tho brief prayer of the Grand Master. Thon with tho trowel the Grand Mas ter proceeded to spread the mortar tint had been prepared, on tho masonry on which the sl6ne was to repose. The cornerstone Was tlien placed" in position and leveled! From silver nrns first was noured out wheat on the top of tho stone. "Thin I do as an emblem of abundance." were the accompanying words. From similar urns was ponred "the wine of refresh ment," and "the oil of joy." with words of deep meaning the Grand Master then made a brief add ru's on the vows made-by .Masons, to help further; the erection of all public build- j ings. 1 aKen all together the ceremonies wore most instructive, and the down pour of rain was to say the least, most inopportune. One of tho most interesting spectacles that has been presented to Rosoborg j-iruio iur many a uay was tne proces sion ol MX) school children in line last Monday in tho m.irch to the High School building where the conucrstone was laid. The school division was headed by Principal A. M. Handera with the high school students in classes, seniors lead ing and followed in succession by each class and grade of the lower denomina tion, in charge of the teachers, the little tots bringing up the rear. The common colors of the High School, Orango and black and the class colors, green and whito for the seniors, violet and white for tho juniors, blue and old- gold fortho sopLomores nnd pink and green for the' freshmen, were variously displayed in the form of banners, streamers, and ribbons. All of the lower' grades carried the Stars and Stripes and when the long line was in motion with the banners waving it made a scene that satisfied the patriotic spirit. Arrangements had been made for the entire school to sing several songs but on the account of tho rain this with much of the other intcredtiDg plan was not carried out.
