The undertone was finn most of tho time, hut the doinnnd was poor, and in jspite of the scarcity of stocks no re sponse such as wight ordinarily he csccted was made to favoring de velopmcnK Of those, perhaps the most imporlatit were the govern ment's report on crop conditions nt the end of May nnd the Shroveport rate decision. Passage by the sen ate of the canal tolls repeal bill was accounted an influence in favor of railroad shares. Progress of the Mexican mediation conference in spite of fears of n rupture once or twice during tho week encouraged operations on the long side. One of tho foremost factors in sustaining tho market was tho expectation of a decision before many days in the freight rate ense. Tho United States Steel tonnage figures indicated that new business during May had been at the rate aof less than half the corporation's cap ncity. Incoming orders since June 1, however, were reported to be on n larger scale. Demand for copper inctnl increased, following a general cut to 14 cents. The export movement of gold reached extraordinary proportions Nearly $20,000,000 was engaged dur ing the week, establishing n record for New lork. Tho movement ex ertcd little influence here, except for a slight stiff eniogn a slight stiffening of time money rates. CLOSES STEADY NEW YOItK, Juno 13. Tho stock market closed steady.

Speculative sentiment was not strong ly defined, although tho drift toward tho long sldo wuh still perceptible, ltoports from tho mercantile agencies spoko of a better demand In various lines, with n continuanco of favorablo weather conditions. After holding for soveral days at abnormally high rates, sterling exchango weakened on tho announcement that $4,000,000 moro gold had been engaged for ex port. Bonds wcro steady. Opening transactions In stocks to day wero at a slightly lower range of prices. Virtually all tho actlvo issues cusod off, but recessions in no cuso exceeded half a point. Thore was no chango in market conditions to uccouut for tho drooping tendency, which appeared to bo duo entirely to a similar setback of American stocks abroad. After prices hero had been adjusted to about tho lovel cabled from London tho decline stopped.

The old order changeth and no meeting of the faithful can bring back the fat pickings of tho yesterdays. Hold ing hands in mystic circle, will not make the spirits per form the tawdr'v tricks of the old regime. The boughten eloquence of the spellbinder of the torchlight parade no arc the bar-room energies ot the heeler. ith more or less apathy and a good deal of understanding the public views the hysterics of tho office-seekers and refuses to become excited. The steady growth of popular government, the dis carding of the machinery wherebv the few controlled the inanv, the publication of campaign contributions, the passing away of old political differences, the maturity of a new generation freed from the prejudices that fettered for half a century, have killed the partisanship of our fathers, and until vital issues arise to create new political divisions, state politics will be merely a struggle for the spoils. It took money to run the a great deal of money. It took money to create the bogies and dangle the scarecrows and Jack-o'-lanterns mat stampeded ttie voters, it. iook money to mre stiver tonjnicd expounders of buncoinb. Tt took money to em ploy the organizers and get came from the railroads, irom the trusts, troin the corpo rations who had special legislation to enact, special favors to ask. as well as from the the excitement died when the Now there is only the money of the candidates to spend. Hence, with a rich candidate, we may have party "reunion" if ho clandestinely "jars loose." There may conic a touch of the old prosperity to the "boys" grown lank and hungry during recent years. J teres hoping a irood "touch." Mr. Average Citizen now looks at the office-seekers from a coldly impersonal standpoint. The personality and professions, not the ancient partisanship, governs the cast ing of the ballot. The one-time sacred party legend means little or nothing. The citizen votes as he thinks will best benefit the public and his own interests. In such a cam paign there is little to enthuse and consequently not much enthusiasm. The times arc indeed out of joint for the politician. Political partisanship in knows it but the politicians, newspapers, like the Oregonian, that never learn. The ghost oi partisanship, a second j-cier urimm panieucuuy asserts itself, but no one hears, no one sees, no one cares. DEVELOP DON'T DESTROY VNE of the reasons given v to a prolnbititve scale tor Capital Hill section into the It may be possible to persuade the suburbanites later to come into the city limits, but it will never be possible to club them into it. The time is not ripe for annexation. The population is too scattered, the region too sparsely settled. "With the stimulus of the trollev line and reasonable water rates, the population should increase so that the people them selves will seek admittance in a short period. If the section was admitted now, it would be entitled to street lighting, street grading, police protection, sewer systems and other municipal cost more than the increased ceive by taxation. The decrease in water revenues caused by changing from meter to flat rates would help make the city a tinancial loser by the The excuse of water shortage is absurd. If there was a shortage, annexing the adjacent laud and providing cheap rates would iurtlicr there is a great surplus. A constructive policy would lie to increase the city's revenues and at the same time develop the country by selling this water surplus to any and all applicants. Jf a second reservoir was constructed and the overflow water that now runs to waste diverted into it, and tho outside users supplied from it, the revenues would yield a hand some return on the investment and benefit the city far more than the dog-in-the-manger policy now being pursued.

Climbing rofc are a valuable aid to tho man who Ii Interested In having his home In attractlvo surroundings With a flno lawn, artistically masked shrubbery, and a wealth ot vlnoi clambering over the porch nnd roof, many a plain nnd unpretentious house has boon transformed into n most attractive dwelling place.
