for the conventions. "This," says a letter of the Washing

convention can be held and 'be entirely free from all entan
gling' alliances and local partisan ditterences.'-' While there
might be something in that, it is not enough to weigh against

said that Washington never appealed as a political con
vention city. The simple truth appears to be that the party
managers, as every on else' like some variation. With the
people fed up day in and day out, from one year's end to
the other, wilh j-eports of doings at Washington they like
the variety afforded 'by taking the great party functions,
the presidential nominating conventions, to other parts of
the country. As tributes to the cities to the stores and
sections in which, the conventions are held, the selections
aro supposed to' operate to tlio political advantage of the
parties. Not only is this from the sentimental standpoint,
but also the financial.' The cities, in addition to other argu
ments, offer cash considerations to cbvcr expenses of the
meeting and also to help swell the campaign fund.
. In,such a contest as this Washington is handicapped by,
too much of congress. A political convention there might
seem more or less like a . congressional session, xiieretore
it is out of the question. ." .

As we journey to und fro, wo old gray

' er here below, worse and worse, already
yot; in 1ho hallowed Long Ago thiugs
were uiuerent, you uet. lounit folks hit
a souer gait, uu the night lights didn't

straight, for a lecture beats a show; peo
ple went to bed at eight, in tho saintlv
Long Ago. On a shelf upon the wall
stood good volumes in a row; moral tales
and sermons all, things the people ought
to know; scribes bad bruins Instead of
gull in the snowy ling Ago. Hut a
young man 1 have bored with a talk
nlong this line, says, "Oh, gaffer, you
have scored things I though exceeding
fine, und you've told me liow you smir
, ed in the blissful Auld Uiug Syne. All the
world wus sinless then, you have often
told imp no; but I've heard from oilier

STALE BUILDING CONTRACTS
Salem, June 21. Contracts for Uie
construction of four new buildings at
slate institutions, the completion of
. other ' buildings and for improvements
aggregating ir7.tl.Vf. - wero let by the
b(fttd of control in session hero this
morning. These contracts were a part of
' the hiiilillnif program approved by the
Inst legislature and which contemplates
. tn expenditure o5 between J;i."ilMKK) mid
t ' $-H(.MHSI during the hleliuiiim, including
.the cnnxfrucllon of the new training
' school for boys, for which mutracIN

ntitution is decided upon,
. A thoughtfurMexican editor takes notes of the growing
number of excursion' trips into Mexico from. other parts of
Latin America and wonders if "the folks up north" are
observing it and calculating its significance. ' . '
The prime significance of any travel is the understand
ing it develops between peoples. From that viewpoint it
seems a good thing that Mexico's southern noigbbors are
getting acquainted with her, and the same idea applies, auto
matically to her neighbors on tho north.
'; Mexican '.pjynion,.. draws a fine distinction between ' the
amiable pleasure tourist and tho professional visitor and
it is inclined ..to. charge, that a great number of the visitors
from the United States go there to find evidence in support
of a case for or against some issue, in. which Mexican re
sources and' their development are concerned. It is sug
gested' that 'Mexican hospitality is instructive and quickly
responds to the disinterested traveler, 'while it is growing
weary of the publicist, Who seeks "copy" .for 'his brief at
every meal he has and at every function ho attends.
. . The excursions now pouring Latin visitors into Mexico
are said to be of the more wholesome class with the inevitable
result that a sensible' degree of good neighborliness is fast
developing. Mexicans rather like, to fancy their pivotal
geographical position as a. natural clearing-bousa of the
two continents, ' but quite apart from that proud fancy
Americans of tho 'Nortu, and Canadians as well, have fully
as much to gain by yinning the confidence and friendship
of the Mexicans as b'ave. the Latin peoples..
