NANKINO, May 84. W) The

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 (!)' .
There you arc,' Brother Hand! You win!' '
The gloom of an "editorless'day has lieen dispelled ;. may
you live long and prosper!

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. Roberta in Judge Park
er's place, is interpreted as an abandonment of all his cherished
convictions, a cowardly surrender to political expediency a
belated effort to secure that Liberal support, he refuses to iead.
Not only is the President responsible for everything' wrong,
he is damned if he does mid damned if he doesn't. In the lev!.

King can do no wrong" has been replaced by ''The President

;a candidate not repudiated by the
! majority.
! .Mr. Joseph's nomination was
'due to his capitalization of the
public unrest nnd dissatisfaction
traced to hard times, to the re
sentment ngulnst power companies
: nnd the ten cents fnre, and to the
grievances of unsuccessful litigants
with the courts. 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,
