Just the bare mention that the Rus sians have recaptured Prxasnyas is a good deal of a wheeze. One of the best estimates we have read of Colonel Roosevelt is that he continues to be interesting without being convincing." We see in the esteemed Journal a remarkable picture of the - German cruiser Bluecher as she turned turtle but what became of the terrapin? The Weston Leader and the Satur day Evening Post are aplendid adver tising mediums, having a combined cir culation of more than two million. Tbe Moaer bill is either a curse or a blessing, according to whether or not one bas pun enougn wicn governor Withycombe to annex and bold a Job. The Republicans are fully in the sad dle In Oregon and the Democrats will have to make the beet of it, their strongest man having been defeated by Governor Withycombe, Democratic office-holders will be decapitated, aa matter of course, and the Moaer bill was designed by the legislature to give the governor a larger axe. . No ahrill and vociferone cries will be emitted by the Lkader over the on rush of the Republican "spoilsmen. They have a rush or two coming, hav ing for aundry beautiful years been licked out of their boots by a minority party. We are calm, even Indifferent, having no political Job to loae. We might feel more concerned, regretful, were It the habit of the Democrats when in power to spare Republican offlee-holdeia. It is not, however. The dictum of the present national admin iatration haa been and is that every Republican Job holder who can be reached must go, whether he Is effi cient or not. Unlike some of our Dem ocratic brethren we And it difficult to blow hot and cold, partisan and non partisan, in one breath. We wish, however, that Governor Withycombe could be broad and gener ous enough to spare at least one West appointee, Ralph Watson, who ia slated for removal aa commissioner of corpo rations. Here ia a nailing good offl rial, thoroughly honest, thoroughly efficient. The Oregon Journal aays of him: "Commissioner Watson, in leas than 20 months of administration, haa driv en out of Oregon I59.U0O.000 in ques tionable and bogus securities which were being sold and offered for sale to the people of thia atate. He fought those who ohjected to the enforcement of the law through all the courts of Oregon, and secured a favorable de cision for the law and hia administra tion of it in the Oregon supreme court. He fought them through the federal courts in Portland and secured affirma tion of their decision in the federal court of aDoeala at San Francisco. "Commissioner Wstson framed the amendments which nassvd the late ses sion for perfecting the Oregon Blue Sky law. He went east aa a meana of perfecting hia information on the aub tecL The new Oregon law ia admitted to be the model Blue Sky law of the country." Even the little town of Weaton has felt the protecting influence of Mr, Watson's work. So far aa we are aware no dubious stocks have been peddled here since he took office, while such activities were one an almoat constant practice. That officials like Watson should be subjected to tbe partisan axe ia among the weaknesses of the American sys tem of politics, through which the spoils doctrine is upheld by each of the two great partiea. I KXOW IIDI. I know a man who thinks that he could write a book or tame a bee could run the earth In every way much better than It'a run today; could aall a boat or rtde a muie, or teacn ne teacher In the school; could beat the band at every squeak were he to train about a, week; could do all these were he to try. He doesn't though I won der why? I know him like a printed book, aa well aa though X were his cook. I know he thinks that he could run the universe and call It fun.

Wood The esteemed Oregonian refers to forcing the Dardanelles with tbe allied feet, and probably meana fleet, aa there haa been plenty of 'ell for the Turks. According to an eastern pessimist, "one drawback about immigration after the war ia that we'll either get a crippled patriot or healthy undesirable." The Colonel wants to bead an army division of a proposed Loyal American Legion, and we suggest ti.'i remnants of the Bull Moose party as a "corpo ral's guard."
