' . . NANKINO, May 84. W) The pollco department has placed a taboo upon luncheon club meet ings, soon box orators nnd other nttempls to gather public congre gations. Meetings may be held by special permission but the polico maintain that few such gatherings nre necessary. XTLTE have often enUed attention to .the .great mass of publicity matter that eoinex to every newspaper offiee, seeking free spaee without paying for it. There is always some "catch" in these press agent screed out usually thev are so cleverh" concealed, that it tukef an ex perienced hand to detect them. Hut now and then, some novice tries the game, exhibiting such childish simplicity and ignorance of the accepted tech nique, that the progress of the offering to the waste 'basket, is long delayed and accompanied by considerable hilarity on the part of those delegated to bury it. Occasionally, the naivete is so refreshing, that this very fact brings success, and publicity is accorded, where n more sophis ticated effort would be doomed to oblivion. ' This morning we have a three-page announcement from one Jos.,'. Hand, 111,") Denrike liuiiding, Washington, O.'C, which comes inider this latter classification, Mr. Denrike Jias invented a new plan for the purchase of homes, which he has presented to members of Congress, and wishes the Mail-Tribune to support. Space prevents going into the 0,0()IMvord details, but the following extract may give n general idea : " ' " . The financing of this plan Is sneji that within 35 or 40 years the ' Interest chargeB can be abolished, such payments being credited to an Old Age SnvingH Account. For Instance, the purchaser of a $n,0D0 home will have $2,!M deposited In Ills Savings Account, assuming ho pays off his loan In 20 years. Interest on these de-' posits will nmount to about' 1. 300, making a total of J4.000 to his ' credit. This fund In not payable until he Is Co years' of age, rit; which time the J-I.OOO would amount to about J0.500 If lie purchased -his home at 25 years of age. ' In other words, he not only has d home when he pays off Ills loon' hut ROOD in the bank beside, tinder the present system he has only the home, If ho hasn't been foreclosed, and will have paid out more money for It at that. ' The operation of thin plan Is such that (i wilt iini.iui tho . Handing Business. Its Introduction during these bad times will also ' nld the present unemployment situation, although It will do 'more good In boom times than otherwise. Mr. Hand then concludes: . , " : ' - .The plan does not involvo. government ownership or reqiiiro taxation. It is the greatest Invention that ever came over the pike. Jl tliiii-Bfore submits it lo the Amerlcua people for their consldera- Aud, then, between this conelnsion and Mr.' Iii'iid Vsigiihture, comes this paragraph, which has been crossed out lightly. with a pen, but which can be easily deciphered, as follows: "The writer's personal Interest in addition lo a natural desire to nee living conditions Improved for evoryono lies la the fact that this plan means thnt someone must ho appointed to run it at per haps I 0,000 a yeaf, and tho Inventor or the system should certainly have first crack at the Job (!)' .

''''' JN this same newspaper we read how tlie President's appoint ment, of Judge Parker was truckling to the vested inter- osis, a blow at labor, and an insult to the colored race. 'And now his appointment of Owen .1.

Not only is the President responsible for everything' wrong, he is damned if he does mid damned if he doesn't.

It was also due in no small degree to the neutral ity of the Republican press in dis cussing his candidacy. The Portland Journal declares the primary result "A voice from the foundations. The folks on the mudsills of Republicanism have nominated Mr.. Joseph a: their governor" which is prob ably correct for If there ever wai a mud-slinging candidate who np penled to the mudsills, it Is' Mr. Joseph yet his vote was only IS per cent of his party. Mr. Joseph's nomination is also heralded as a "vindication" of the disbarment verdict rendered by the circuit judges on chnrges of un ethical conduct preferred by the bar association charges still pend ing before tho supreme court. If this popular appeal was not de signed along typical Joseph lines to influence and intimidate the court in its consideration of a case pending before It just ns his character assasHluntion tactics that got him into trouble were, then we do not know what contempt of court means. Tho result might also bo construed as a minority vote In ravor of free nnd unlim ited abuse and slander of our highest officials. But the law re mains the law nnd not public hys teria. Tho Oregoninn gives every indi cation of luke-warmly supporting the nominee party label Is so much more sacred than principle with such partisan organs despite the fact that Mr. Joseph Is Repub lican by label only. Yet wo doubt whether tho rank nnd file will be similarly loyal. The people of Oregon are quite Independent In Ihe election of governors nnd jPeiiodlcally vote for a change in uiduiinlstratlon, as witness the Cases of Pcnnoyer, Chamberlain, West and Pierce. As Mr. Bailey is liberal and pro gressive without being demagogic, has n level head and sound com-men-seuse Instead of being emo tional, he is the opposite In every way of the Republican nominee and bis chances for election hy oilier than "mudsill" elements are very bright.
