The Northern racinc Railway Com urges revolt against "machine" methods in politics.' The cen8U office announces that it is going topub- pay wm puCe round trip tu-keta from We are unable to find any redeeming feature in lisn annua estimates of the population of the United Portland to St Loula and return on the direct primary law, and must, therefore, advise States. It starts by allowing us 80,000,000 people at account of the world1 fair on Bale aa voters to east their ballots against it. Its principal feature is contrary to American principles. This law requires that a man shall state his politics and be known as republican, democrat, socialist, prohibition ist or whatever political faith he may select. There are, unfortunately, a great many persons who can not afford to declare themselves politically. These men have families to support, and partisan politics or even active political interest may interfere with the supply of bread and butter essential to the main tenance of the home. The direct primary law's terms are substantially to the effect that twio elections shall be held one for the purpose of making nominations and the other for the purpose of voting for candidates nominated at the first election. This means that apoor man can not make a political campaign. The law also excludes from the alleged benefits of its provisions those political parties which have not cast at least 25 per cent of the vote for congressmen at the next preceding election another un-American provision, calculated to shut out the smaller parties. We see no objection in the present method of mak ing nominations and electing candidates. It is true the party committees select delegates to the conven tion, but the will of the voters can not be thwarted by these committees. Men are bilked politically only when they permit themselves to be bilked. The ordi nary, political committee will select the very best man available for office, else the ticket will not win. The voters may express their preference for delegates to the convention after the lists are made up by the committees, so there can be no reasonable objection to this feature of our present method of conducting political matters. The primary, reformers set up a great cry about the machine in politics and appeal to voters to sup port their fanciful scheme because of the general dishonesty of politicians. They forget, however, or try to make the voters forget, that the people are be hind all political movements which are successful. The voters have the situation well in hand at all stages of the proceedings. Nominations are not neces sary, and men have been elected whose names did not even appear on the official ballot. We had a case of this kind in Astoria only a few years ago, when the "citizen" candidate for police commissioner was elected, notwithstanding his name did not appear on the ballot. Voters went to the polls and wrote his name on the ballots which were handed to them. The vote for the candidates for police commissioner was quite up to that cast for other candidates, demon strating the practicability of the provision of the law under which the election of the citizen candidate was brought about. The present system is good enough. If the reform ers had something better to offer, we would support the measure, but our advice to all voters democrats, republicans, socialists, prohibitionists and all the rest is to vote against the direct primary law. It ought to be deefated by a very large majority. Dr. VAUC1IIAN, Dentist. FylUan Building, Aatorla, Orfgnn. Dr. T. L. BAM DENTIST Kit Commercial atreet. Aitorla Ore. JAY TUTTLE, M. D.

Anybody can make a similar computation, and in fact the sum has often been worked out. The weakest point of the census office rule is its dlrect llne' failure to take account of fluctuations in immigra tion.

Within about two weeks the registration books for the county and state arid presidential elections will be closed. After the night of May 16 voters who have not registered will be excluded from exercise of their elective franchise, unless their votes are sworn in at the coming elections. If they would vote at both elections, their votes must be sworn in twice. Those who frequent the polls on election day know of the great annoyance incident to the swearing in of votes. Six freeholders legal voters who own property must be found to make affidavit to the rieht of the applicant to cast his ballot. Trouble is always experienced in finding six men who are ac quainted with the applicant and who know he is qualified to vote. The formality of swearing in a voter takes from 15 minutes to an hour's time, is Oregon Show Line Government ownership of railways has proved I efficient in representing a strike in the Austria-Hun garian empire.
