Editor Statesman: The coming rei
publican primary election will be held
March 2t, 1000, in the several precincts
in Marion county. The question a&td
who tias a right to vote at such election
has been discussed in every precinct, j
In order that no contusion may arise
I have endeavored to gain, from all
sources, the necessary information, and
I feel satisfied that the following will
cover all points that will come up for
decision by, the judges, in precincts
regulated by the primary law, as well
as precincts where open primaries arc
conducted: '' " ':?"'.'
No one should be allowed to" vote
who i npt a republican, or will, undef
cjalh, say that lie! will affiliate with the
republican party, and support its ticket
at the ensuing general election. This
is right. No member of any party has
a right, legal or moral, to participate
in any primary election of another
party. -Otherwise, men, with no good
lintent to the parties holding the prim
jaries, might interest themselves and
assist in electing a delegation which
i would prove detrimental to that party's
i interest. j ' j
(" Section 16 of the Australian ballot
' law is very clear as to residence. There
is a widespread idea that thirty days
residence in a precinct entitles one to
vote. Such is not the case. JScction
5 of the primary la w clearly j defines
this right. ! 'l '
The- following questions suggest
themselves as being proper to ask any
erson whose right to vote is , chal
enged; ' . i
' First 'Are you a republican? If not,
will yon support the republican-" ticket
at the ensuing-general election? j
Second Have you voted at any
primary election this year? (See" sec
tion 6 of primary law) i
Third Has your vote been rejected
at any primary election this year? (See
section 7; primary law). ;
. Fourth Are ..you a bona fide resident
of this precinct? (See section 6 of
primary law). I
Fifth -Will -you be a legal Voter in
this precinct at the ensuing ! general
election? ('See section 2 of article 2 of
constitution). j
The following oath is to be admin
istered when an elector is challenged:
"Vou do solemnly swear (or affirm)
you will fully and truly answer all
questions that shall be put to you touch
ing your place of residence and qualifi
cations to vote at this election? (Sec
section 7, primary law).- ! I

PARIS JOURNAL
TORS.
AND EDI-
" In Paris the identification of a jour
nal with its editor and chieff writers
is complete. In the brilliant days of
the July monarchy nobody thought of
th presse or the constituttonnel;
these -were ,mere counters, and liardly
that; people thought of Emile'de Gir
ardin and Adolphe Thiers they pro
vided educated men with their poli
tics, as somewhat later cn t Sainte
Beuve and Jules Janin provided" them
with their literary ideas. When the
republic .was founded Gambetta start
ed the Rcpublique Francaise, and
though it had many able j writers.
France identified that journal with the
great orator, and millions accepted its
every utterance as oracular. To quote
a lesser instance. L'Intransigeant. with
its hysterics and heroics, could, be

HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD.
Some time ago a noted New Eng
ender came to the capital for the pur
pose of transacting some business.! it
matters little what, before one of the
departments, says Leslie's Weekly; It
was necessary to obtain the co-operation
of various members of congress
and senators. Together With his at
torney he made a call cn a certain dis
tinguished soloh who was 'most cordial,
greeting the visiting Yankee as though
4ie were - his long-lost brother: he
grasped him cordially by the hand,
Neither teachers nor parents can

patted him on the ehoulder, and alto
gether put hwn in a pleasant rnocd.
Everything he 'asked the senator to do
was most willingly acceded to. and the
amiable politician proposed to do even
more than ws requested of him.
"There was nothing the matter with
the proect he said; t'ci course he
would instruct his secretary to do so
and so. and he would ; himsflf do so
and so. The man from Yankeedom
felt as if his object were obtained.
"Fine, fine." he remarked to his
companion,, on . leaving the senator.
"Nonsense," responded that worthy.
"Divide that bv a hundred and you
will find out just what that man will
do, if be does anything. He 13 a joi
ner, and, while he partially means what
he says, never gets the time to carry
out his promises. He has a passion,
however, lot . making people feel
good." ; '
Their next visit iwas on Senator
Frye, who was pleasant but business
like, and wasted no time in compli
ments. When the matter was present
ed to him he asked some - terse ques
tions. "Your project is a good one,"
he eaid, finally. "L-wnl see the secre
tary. -i ' .
. "I congratulate yon old man," re
marked the lawyer to bis client when
they reached the pavement. "I con
gratulate yoa; your case is practically
won." ; . :
' "What do you mean?" asked his
friend. "I am utterly : discouraged.
MrJ Frye did not seem to take near as
much interest as i Senator Blank, and
he is the one I most depended upon."
"Nonsense, nonsense," - responded
his companion. ; "If Mr. Frye says he
will do a thing it is done. His w-ord
is , as good as another - man's oath."
And that, indeed isjthe general reputa
tion, of the senior senator from Maine.

An Excellent Program and a Profit
oble cession Two Noted Salem
Educators Were Present.
The regular monthly teachers meet

State Supt. J. H. Ackerman and Prof.
W. J. Crawford, of this city, were there
and speak very highly of the treatment
they reoehied at the Ivands of tJie
teachers and citizens of Silverton.
Sipt. Ackerman addressed 'the meet
ingjon the fjeneral progress of educa

together, the meeting was a success.
When Good Stomach, one of the
Sioux Indians with the Nouveau Cirque

the Sioux language. They did not find
one. j When the noble red man re
gained the, mastery of his vocal chords
it was foind that he spoke nothing

HAD A SYSTEM OF HIS OWN.
How Former. Congressman - Peters
Taught School in a Missouri
Town.
"iMason Peiters, who served -one
term from the second Kansan district
in congress, and came back to Kansas
City to organize a big live stock , firm
on entirely new lines, is about : the
most congenial product of this Sci
tion," said the man who knows every
body. "Peters was a Missouri school
teacher and his methods have never
been excelled for originality in stdry
or stage comedy.
"Plattsburg, Mo., had about 2,000
inhabitants an - 1877 and Peters taught
the fourth gnwJe of the school. Oi
course there : was supposed to be1 a
regular course of study, for Peter's.
scholars were prepared to enter the
principal's room. There were, accord
ing to the rules laid down by theLthe use of field deputies
-, U J --a - ; ; 1 ' TT" xr,. .
school board and (principal, so many
flours to te oevotedi to grammar, so
many -to rhetoric, history, algebra,
etel But to no one of these rules did
Peters pay the slightest heed.
"The firsTday school opened he an
nounced that his room would study
grammar. He made a short talk to
the pupils, in the course of which he
opened, his grammar and -making , a
quick calculation, said: 'You cught
to get to syntax in one month. If
you do we will declare Tuesday, Oc
tober 1, a holiday, and I'll treat
Nothing but grammar was taught in
that room for one solid month. The
children spread the mews and as the
iond parents in a country town know
more about how the public school
should be run than the school board
and the teachers, a howl went up that
set the entire community by the ears.
The school board and principal made
a feeble remonstrance, but Peters in
sisted that he would teach the room
his own way or he wouldn't teach it
at all. and won out.
i"Whei the month iwas out the
grammar class stood an examination
that was a marvel. Peters made a
speech and announced a holiday, but
toetf ore adjournment for the day he
spread his treat. It consisted of huge
baskets of grapes, nuts and bananas.
i "You can run this whole thing to
suit yourselves," he laughingly spoke.
"I am out; ol it for an hour." He then
left the room and the children he!d
high carnival. Most of them scattered
nuts and grape skins all over the floor
and the room was a sight to ktehold.
A few of j the children had carefully
piled their rape skins and hulls on
newspapers and left them on their
desks but4 they were conspicuous ex
ceptions. This was just what Peteri
had anticipated.- and when he again
rapped : for order he made another"
short; speecfu "I just wanted to find
out the children that had "been prop
erly taught at home and which ones
h?,jj grown i up like cattle," he . -said.
"Now. there is Johnny Jaes. who has
a good father and a good mother, but
ber have reared Him like a Hotten
tot." tAnd in that way he want down
the lisr complimenting certain children
on their teaching at home end crit
icising the others, .lust what sort of
a commotion that kind of a lecture
world create in a small town can be
imagined. There was indignation cn
the one side and applause on the oth
er, but Peters again won out.
"He took rhetoric and algebra by
spasms of one month each, with a va
cation "following .when the task was
ccmpleted. One .time the children
would go fishing and at another nut
hunting. At the -end of the year he

TJIE ORIGINAL SPEECH.'
ThCiOrieinal speech, fli'e true prarm
eval toneue of man. .was quite? unlike
any language we have ever heard; tyet
we have all talked it. and all its ele
ments tare present in the tongues! of
tcday. The primeval language j was a
-fjwel lansruaare altocether: it had 1 no
consonants, or contracts, as weL oujght
to call theni. at all. Its words consist
ed of vowaf sounds following each oth
er repeated or varied of words ike
acaea, aoao, aia, auau, aeoia, iaua, oioi,
ouou, uaua. ueUe, all of -which i I may
say in passing are taken from 1 a lan
guage in ,use today. The scptertces
were intermittent streams of Rowels,
each stream held on so long as the
speaker's -breath allowed or whim -dictated.
When all literature was f ceiled,
the same consideration, the capacity of
the lungs, determined the length of the
bardic lines; so we have our shlokas,
our hexameters, our Alexahdrines
arid so forth, each a lungful of I verse:
in the primeval tongue it was likewise,
but the sentences were vowels only.
There are about ten or a dozen pure
vowels to go upon, and vowel; words
may run up to five syllables, 'so we
have a very considerble -fund to draw
on for. our vowel streams. And these
streams oi vowel speech, correspond to
and expressed streams of emotion or
feeling rather than descriptions 6f con
crete objects. tFor we hardly i realize
how terribly overladen with material
trifles our life is today, and, therefore,
what great demands we make on lan
guage for concrete words. But our
exclamations, -each o which indicate a
single emotion, tend to remakv pure
Vowel sounds even at the present day.

THE EARLY GARDEN.
With most of the garden crot9 it 1
of no advantage to sow or. plant until
the soil is well warmed up and the
danger from frost is past, there are a
few crops that can stand considerable
cold and should be sown at the first
favorable opportunity. With no crop
at any time it is advisable to fow or
plant until the soil has been prepared
in a good tilth. , I .
A good condition of the soil is es
sential to secure a good germination
of the seed and a thrifty start ta grow.
One of the essential items with veget
ables is t6 have them crisp and; tender,
and a quick, vigorous growth is quite
a factor in securing this. In the gar
den more than in any other part of the
farm it is necessary to bave the soil
rich and worked.deep. In many cases
the powing and manuring can be done
during the winter, so that earbjf in the
spring, as soon as the soil is dry
enbugh to work readily a ; few ! of the
hardier early crops like onions, lettuce,
the early hard peas, radishes, beets and
spinach, may be sown in rhe open
ground.- With " the exception of the
lettuce and spinach the better plan is
to sow in long rows, wide 'enough
