FRIDAY, MAY 10. 1912. MAY WIGGLE AROUND The attorney general, of Ore gon, has rendered a decision to the effect that the delegates to the Presidential Nominating convention, from Oregon, are not bound to vote for T. R. Roosevelt, and the reason given is because he did not receive a majority vote at the primary election. It would seem that some of the high-up political leaders are not satisfied with the primary preference, and hence, this etiort to get around this obstacle to their desires. Men are very much the same whether it is political matters or whatever else they are en gaged in, especially, when they are going up against their wish es, and straws of any kind will do as a substitute to bridge their way around the proposition. In political preference it was not intended that the choice should necessarily have a ma jority of the votes cast but that thecandidate receiving the high est number should be the choice of the state and that the dele gates should vote for that can didate, regardless of their own preference, and if the attorney general does i.ot uphold the in tent and purpose of the law it is very likely that there will be a big bunch of dissent should he bob up in the future for re election or for some other office in the hands of the people. Men who can so readily find means to thwart the wishes of their constituents should not be given responsible places in the siate nor nation. The Socialists of Polk county met at the court house at Dallas last Saturday and declared their affiliations to the national and international platforms and nom inated a full ticket , The ticket and resolutions adopted are as follows: Representative, P. C. Corn well, Monmouth. Joint Representative, George W. Ilinshaw, Dallas. County Judge, A. H. Dennett, Rickreall. Commissioner, E. R. Ostrom, Monmouth. Assessor, Tom Bowman, Dall as. County Treasurer, W. H. Mill er, Falls City. Coulty Clerk, J. P. Sears, McCoy. School Superintendent. Frank Van Camp, Independence. Sheriff, J. A. Roberts, Dallas. Surveyor, R. E. McDonald, Dallas. The following resolutions and declaration of principles were adopted: "Resolved, That we adopt and declare our allegiance to the prin ciples and platform of state, national and international Social ist party. Resolved, That we demand an eight hour day for the wage worker of Polk county. Resolved, Further, That we declare ourselves in favor of the state Socialist convention, refer endum, favoring a 30-day fran chise law for all citizens of 21 years of age, without property qualifications. Resolved, That we demand universal suffrage for all citizens. Resolved, That we stand for. the working class, first, last and all the time, and maintain that we are the only party in the field that stands for the abolition of the private ownership of the means of life, and the substitu tion of collective ownership of the means of life which will give to every worker the full product of his toil." A GOOD INVESTIGATION The senate investigation into the Titantic disaster is proving decidedly beneficial. Facts of the utmost importance have al ready been brought out that would no doubt have remained hidden had not. a prompt in quiry been started by a board equipped with great power. The disclosure that the corn pa uy refused to provide its look outs with marine glasses looks bad for the company. It is strange that a ship costing $10, 000,000 could not afford the very best devices in the way of glass es. It is also astounding that a great ship carrying 2300 people had but 20 lifeboats all told. But perhaps the most remark able thing of all is that warn ings regardingtheicebergs seem ingly went unheeded.. Either the officers of the ship regarded the Titantic as invincible or else they were so bent on making a speedy passage that they neg lected to take due precautions. The disclosures regarding the wreck of the Titantic will take some conceit out of both owners and officers of the great liners and make them more mindful Opening Lsttsrs In Russia. Ten per cent of the letters pass ing through the post in-Russia are opened bv the authorities on gov ernment orders. Every town has !)osto(fice experts who have made etter opening a studv. Some kinds of envelopes can be steamed open without leaving any traces, and this simple operation is finished bv re- burnishmg the flap with a bone in strument. In the cate of a seal a matrix is taken by means of new bread before breaking the wax. When other methods fail the en velope is placed between pieces of wood, the edge projecting one-twentieth of an inch. The edge of the envelope is then flattened, then roughened and split open. After examination of the contents a hair line of strong white gum is applied and the edges are united under pressure. Nsw Year's Gifts. The custom of making New Year's presents is derived from a remote antiquity. There was a grove in Rome dedicated to the god dess Strenia, whom the Romans regarded as the patroness of 'gifts, and from that grove it was custom ary to get fresh twigs to give as presents to friends and relatives on New Year's day. During the sway of the emperors the people made New Year's gifts to their sovereign. The custom of making New Year's gifts was continued after Europe had become Christian. For a time present making was transferred to Easter, but later on it again became associated with the first day of Jan uary. New York American.
