One of the 'troiiL' f-aUii". of tr- new direct jiriinary law is its utility in affording an opportunity for vhu-o-er will to before tin- jM-oph' and find Out ju-t how he -tand- ill the public eye. Heretofore thj, pliih-e has be,-n circunis'iibcd within tic- meagre limits of the party convention and the aspir ant turned down there had no alterna tive from the edict of the delegations acting in concert. Now. the man who desires to serve the people may find out whether they an- as anxiou- for hi serviee as he is to r-nder it, and tie; process, carried to its fulle-t po-sdbility. may give him the dual honoc of popular nomination and el-clion. conclusions peculiarly appreciable the-c day-. Fail ure at the primaries may superinduce a bad lit of the grouch, but the limita tions of the grouelier are apparent in the impossibility of naming the men who defeated him and -paring a ho-t of people the reproaches that, of old accompanied the rejnil.-e. If the new law did nothing else than eliminate this phase of the bu-ine-s. it were a "iod-K-nd to all hand-.

The election hallo, will look as -iniple us a half-used meal ticket iu eonipari-oii with the initial roster of oflice seekers. Creat centers like. Portland and Multnomah county will, of necessity, put forth something extraordinary in this line, and the vot ei' there must be well informed indeed who shall scan and vote his nominating ticket in any sort of time permis.sable to the business man whose moments mean something.

Ami we have arrive! at such an ape of enlightenment that not only may a young man have the absolute ehoo-ing of his own wife, but the young woman herself has some little to say regarding her choice of a husband, though even in the United States she has not yet attained to that DKGREK of freedom in the matter that will be hers as the world rgresses. The word "obey" in thr marriage service and the giving away of the daughter by the parents an- relics of the bar barous time when a young woman had nothing to do with Iht marriage but to acquiesce in the arrangements MADK l'()K J IKK HY OTHERS. A young man who chooses a wife who docs not understand the duties of domestic life is making a mistake, and that a woman is not al ways versed in these matters is often because ..iue.-tie her vice is not regarded as honorable as other service, and until it i- taught in the schools as a vocation, until it is confined t regular hour-, and tho-c following it are KEJ AKDKD AS HIMAN HKIXCS, with rights as imperative as the rights of the followers of any other vocation, mis takes will continue to be made. A young woman -hoiild ;.id her hm band to sttect-ed in life and should have the p.. sense t understand how to aeeompHih this and not to feel called upon to write a book when the hoii.-o -li.i'.'id be kept in order and home duties discharged.
