A noticeable feature of Saturday's primary election In Polk County was that many of the loudest howlers for tho "preservation of the direct pri mary law" and the "sovereignty of tho people's will" did not show up at the polling places at all. That a aim llnr condition prevailed In other coun ties of the state Is Indicated by the following editorial from the Eugene Register: "Oregon's population is estimated conservatively, at 750,000. On this basis we have 100,000 voters. Of this number 107,000 registered for the prl mary election, or about 70 per cent of the voters. In tho primary election held Saturday over the state, less than B0 per cent of tho registered voters went to the polls. This means that about one-third of the voters of Ore gon have passed upon and chosen the candidates, state and county, for the November election, and this Is what constitutes people's rule In Oregon under the primary law. It looks to us like making a farce of the very law the people clamored for us a protect ion against boss and ring rule in Ore gon. At this rate of decline in the number of votes cast at the primaries, the law will be a dead letter within the next few years unless the voters get wise to the Importance of using It in first election. It Is apparent that the strongest advocates of the direct primaries In many Instunces were minus quantities at the election. "Already the question has arisen, 'what shall we do to preserve the pri mary law In Oregon?" Shall it die In the house of Its friends and firm ad vocates, all for lack of nourishment? Time alone will answer this question." C. W. Hodson, of Portland, has a bad case of rnld feet and wants the Republicans of Oregon to unite in one grand chorus for Statement No. 1. Following his lead comes Timothy Ticklebreeches Oeer, with a pair of refrigerated No. lis, and declares that he quite agrees with his friend Hudson. The Ex-Governor says the only way for the Republican party to win in Oregon is to arouse greater in terest In the primary elections. As to just bow this Is to be accomplished without some form of party organi sation, the brother is strangely si lent. The assembly stirred up more In terest In politics than had been show n since Oregon adopted the direct pri mary law, and even then not one-third of the voters took part In Saturday's battle of ballots. Without some form of assembly, there can be no organi sation, and political parties will be come a thing of the past Who. then, will take the lead In arousing Inter est In the primary elections? And how will the Republican party, as a party, be able to declare for Statement No. 1, or anything else? A Red Tag worn on your coat or jacket tomorrow will be evidence that hae contributed money to a good and worthy cause the purchase of new books for the Dallas Free Library- while the defeated hosts are nursing their wounds, and perhaps their wrath they might take another view of the situation and endeavor to locate some oartlcular Individual who has ever made more out of holding office than he would have made by directing; his efforts along other lines. This great and growing West Is a wonderful place for the man with large or small capital, and In almost any line of business or effort which a man cares to follow the returns for moderate ex penditure of energy are large. The game of politics Is not only hazardous, but it IB also unprofitable, A Chicago paper In discussing the re sult of the recent elections notes that "When Senator Julius Caesar Burrows fell outside of the breastworks last week in Michigan he had been In pub lie office thirty-three years. He is now old and poor. If the Senator had made furniture in GrandRapids, or stoves In Kalamazoo, or even operated a san ltarium at Battle Creek, he would like ly have been better off." What is true of Senator Burrows is equally true of a great many other men of talent and ability throughout the country. The application of the same effort and the same support that Is necessary to make a success in poll tics will land a man much farther along the road to independence and a comfortable old age If he keeps clear of politics than It will be possible for him to get while playing the game. It Is, of course, necessary that we have officials to look after our local and National affairs, but It might be better for the people If so many of our young men who now start out' to seek office were drafted Into more profitable lines of endeavor. If office-seekers became so scarce than that we had to go out and search for men of the Clnclnnatus type It might be more satisfactory all round. The man who has to be forced to take an office will naturally be Inde pendent enough to spare himself the pains of working for an election. He can very easily abandon the game If does not suit him. Perhaps if the defeated candidates will look over the field of men who have made politics business, they will see so few suc cesses that the blow of defeat which ust now seems staggering to some vlll be lightened. A GOOD LOSER. (Editorial In Salem Journal.) The editor of this paper, who was candidate for the nomination for governor announced everywhere on his campaign that he would support the candidates of his party after the direct primary, and he will do so. He will not be found sulking In his tent, as has too often been the case with Oregon politicians. It Is the first duty f a man who seeks nomination at the hands of a political organization to pport the successful candidate of his party. That Is what he would ex pect if he were the nominee, and ho. hould do as he would be done by. 'hat Is the Golden Rule of American politics, and the candidate who vlo- ateB that rule cannot expect to be uiccessful In the great game of pollt cal leadership. I shall play the game according to the rules. GOOD WORD FOR MONMOUTH. The friends of the State Norhal chool at Monmouth are the only ones i'ho relieved the pages of the mam moth voters' pamphlet with an Illus tration. They have a picture of the main building of the Monmouth norm al. It is a nice building, and the property belongs to the state and ought to be used for the purposes to which It was dedlcuted. Salem States man. THIRD TRIP BY OX TEAM Caru Mocker Again OrosNOH Plains Along Houlo of Oregon Trull. With the sume outfit thnt housed him when ho retraced his course across the Oregon trail In 1906 Ezra Meeker, the Seattle pioneer, arrived n Kansas City last Friday eastward bound on his third trip over the old pathway. Ho left Seattle March 1. He s 79 years old. "The father of the Oregon trail," was given a great welcome, as ne drove up Grand avenue guiding his two red oxen, which drew a prairie schooner, with naught but a whip, and his faithful dog "Jim" trotting along behind the old-fushloned vehl cle, hundreds of persons along the sidewalks cheered. Although Meeker will go to Wash- ngton and renew his fight In congress for a larger appropriation for plac- ng markers along the old trail he will not drive through. Within the next few weeks he will stable his oxen and travel by train. He does not want to xpose himself In winter. VACANCIES ARE FILLED DEMOCRATS NAME P. AVERY FOR JOINT STATE SENATOR.

He Is now one of Portland's heavy property owners Is not his experience worth consider ing the next time foil have anything to buy or sell T County Clerk Smith finished the work of tabulating and recording the primary election returns yesterday af ternoon. The task proved to be a tedious one, especially that of making up the Democratic returns. Many places were left vacant on the Dem ocratic ticket in Polk County, and these blanks were filled by writing in the names of men considered to be suitable candidates for the various of fices. As there had been little con certed action along this line, scarcely any two Democrats voted for the same men.' Every one of these scattering votes had to be recorded Jn making up the official count, and the amount of work required to account for all of these names can easily be imagined. The final footing of the Democrat ic vote for County Treasurer resulted In the nomination of Tracy Staats In stead of J. T. Ford, Mr. Staats re ceiving a total of 43 votes in the county. Neither Mr. Staats nor Mr. Ford were candidates for this office, and it Is not known whether Mr. Staats will accept the unexpected hon or thrust upon him. " Benton County Man for Senator. Punderson Avery, a pioneer resi dent of Benton County, was nominat ed as the Democratic candidate for Joint Senator from Polk and Benton Counties so far as Polk County Is con cerned, but It Is not yet known what action was taken by the Democrats of Benton County. It is thought probab le, however, that Mr. Avery will be the choice of the Democrats of his own county. The same conditions apply as to George W. Myers, who was nominat ed In Polk County for Joint Repre sentative from Polk and Lincoln. The candidates nominated by their names being written on the ballot, and the number of votes received by each are as follows: Senator P. Avery, 54 votes. Representative G. W. Myer, 52 votes. Treasurer Tracy Staats, 43 votes. Surveyor L. Ground, 32 votes. Democratic Justices. District No. 1 J. W. Quick, (Rep.) District No. 2 James Slmonton. District No. 3 H. Holman, (Rep.)
