A STRONO CANDIDATE.
TUB nomination of Dr. Lane for
mayor , by a very decisive ma
jority, he not being a candidate
. and his name not being on the
ballot, shows clearly that the Demo-j
crats of Portland not' only Indorse
his administration," as a whole, but
consider him a good enough Demo
crat for them. If he should consent
to run he will be the Democratic
rHE Oregonlan exultantly claims
the credit I of having made
I ; Harry Lane the Democratic
, nomine j for mayor. It points
with pardonable pride to the first
known instance in Its history when
It has been an Influence In politics.
At last It has found a sphere as

ocracy" -where It can be, an actual
factor In shaping nominations for
public office,; - j,' v-V- w

as to dispute the Oregonlan's claim.
By all, means let It think for once
HQ JOURNAL will emphasize
the end of Jts fifth year under
its present management by is
suing an anniversary edition of
150 to 175 pages, superbly illus
trated and printed In colors. - Of this
edition there will be 16,000 souvenir
copies, printed on heavy book paper,
handsomely bound In a superb cover,
on the front of which will appear an
art picture of the discovery of the
Columbia river by Captain Gray, in
the good ship Columbia, after which
the river was named. This picture
of itself will be worth the price of
the souvenir copies, the cost Of it
alone being upward of $1,000.
This part of the issue will consist
of at least 96 pages, carrying Illus

. CIVIC CENTERS IN CITIES.
s-rvHE CLOSE, observer of national
I . events and movements for Col
JL Iter's Mr. Samuel , E. Moffett,
some months ago looked over
several things and men In Cleveland,
and concluded that lt waa the birth
place of the American t "civic cen
ter." A generation hence European
tourists. Ire said, would . honor it
among a hundred American "civic
center" cities aa the pioneer la this
movement. What la chiefly meant
by "civic center" 1 the artistic
grouping of public buildings and
grounds in a certain part of a city or
around a common center. : Whenever
a new public building Is to be erect
ed, federal,, state, county or city,
even a jail. It is located and. con?
Btructed with a rlew'to the "BlvlO
center" and to its appearance not
only as an individual building, but In
connection wjth all the others. , In
Cleveland the location of the new
federal building tome year ago de
cided the "civic center.", and as
soon aa any other building was need
ed It was placed in that vicinity, and

, -This 'Is "a fine idea, If it could
Have; come Into play In the early
history of any large city it people
had looked , far ahead: later It is
difficult to carry out, and can only
be dpne gradually if at all. In Port
land this' might yet be accomplished,
' to some extent at least, in the course
of a generation or two, by making:
a "civic center", between the present
county courthouse and city hall, re
placing them as the city outgrows
them. A new postoffice building
will be needed within a few years,)
but many would think that location
would be too far uptown. And the
federal building,; it will be argued,
is properly located downtown. Yet
as opportunity offers the idea should
be kept In mind and carried out.
But though Portland may not be

We of the so-called Anglo-Saxon

CURIOUS APPOINTMENTS.

OMB publications that fully ap
preciate President Roosevelt's

and sincere enough not to worship
him with blind adulation as a god,
but rather are free and honest to
point out his notorious fault,, mis
takes and defects. ThuS Collier's
Weekly, that is Sanely trlehdly to the
president, sayS that he, "with eager
eye to retaining Missouri for the
sacred party, appointed to the fed

reputation Is for the non-payment" of
