In a republic: everything is gained by sending the officials back to the people frequently. Under the old fashioned way there was far less talk of graft in tbe departments. Eev. E.; V. Goad of Forum, Frank lin county, Virginia, preached a ser mon denouncing moon-shining . as an evil. Tbe meon-shiaers immediately chased bim out of tbe settlement. Mr - Goad may be said to have been goaded by his own goad. Fiala complains that hot weather in- tcrfered with bis plans for reaching! the North Pole. It ertainly would seem as eculiar to find hot weather at the North pole as to get a report of the freezing over of tbat other place that we occasionally hear men tioned. Captain Kiehmond P. Hobson says that one ; of the lessons'to be gained from the eac-e conferenee at Ports mouth is that the best Way to be 'a peace maker is to be abb;' to thrash the bully, but his further Recommenda tion for an extended increase of our t - ' navy leads one to wonder if he ex ects us ; to le Loth. Colonel Bryan suggests that when the president has finished his self-appointed task of making peace between ftusftia and Japan and has made the Houth American republics pay their debts, he might earn the rest of his salary1 by busting the beef trust some more. The late Spanish war veteran is inclined to be facetious. The Louisville Courier-Journal says tbat nobody believes that there were more deaths than births in Louisville during the fiscal year notwithstanding statistics say it. It claims thatr the whole secret is that the births are not fully reported. Is it' the fathers are ashamed or are they unwilling to set up the mint juleps to their friends! Whichf Talk about a falling off in imports! Tbe last year saw an importation of 1,026,499 head of animals of the biped variety, and principally from such at tractive exporting countries as Russia and lower Italy. There is no intent of abandoning Ellis island. The general feeling is that ifwould be a good thing to enlarge the island and to keep many of the immigrants there. The grafter tales that come from Washington, and from every other part of the country for that matter, are -proving tbat being able to pass a civil service examination, without a full guarantee of -good character, S not all that is necessary for a perfect public official. No eivil service exam ination will give a characterless man a character, nor make a dishonest man honest. Many a man holds office today that no congressman nor United 8tatefc senator : would recommend.' Tbe United States army has certain ly written a new code in its law gov erning the conduct of a soldier ami a gentleman. . Recently a stripling of a lieutenant ordered a high private to cease kissing a pretty girl, and on the private' refusing to cease the af ore- said rather' pleasant performance the lieutenant had the soldier court-mar tialed, and caused him to pass thirty days iii the guard house. That officer should ! have been court-martialed for cruel and inhuman treatment of bis subordinates. Mr. ; Bryan in the Commoner says that with Cummins leading a tariff re vision fight and LafoJlette leading an anti-railroad fight and Rosewater lea.l inga fight for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people, the next Republican con vention promises to be almost as in teresting as a Democratic convention. Yes, and no doubt some other Repub lican who has been made great (in his own estimation) by the - Republican partyi will try and foist upon it Dunne's municipal ownership program and a number of other populistie fads of the day. - However, we doubt that the next Republican convention will vindicate all the Democratic and pop ulistie principles extant. The chances are that some who have these airy ideas will find their new fads not wholly popular in a convention of Re publicanae ' t -. - .' -;- WHTIX IB UNTAXB TO OREGON.

The writer of that -arti ele wants no harmony except it be that harmony which means the surrender of all those-who have en im t other fae , tions titan his own, to the leaders of this faction. .

Fur ther, that there are factional divisions in the state of Oregon that are irrecon cilable is not a just statement of fact. A few men may feel soreness as a re sult of the factional bickerings of the !past, but tbat ' tnia-feeling is extant in 1 the rank and file of the party no one who goes out among the rank and file can, or is willing to, believe. -A f Tbe Republicans of Oregon are Re publicans from, principle. They are not Republicans for : loot and spoil. This statement ia true as regards those who have been friends Of Senator Mitchell and of his friends, as it is also true of those who-have been friends of Sena tor Simonandhis friends. . It is said tbat Senator Mitenell is no longer to be taken into considera tion. This may be true.' 80 far as per sonalities' go, in point, of fact, neither Senator Mitchell nor Benator Simon should be taken into consideration, but the good of the Republican party.

There is an association within the state of Oregon of political eharaeteris- tics purely and simply the outgrowth of the radicalism which has made Wil- liam Jennings Hryan, Thos. E. Watson, Tbos. W. Lawson and a few others of the same character features of our eco nomic development. This association is made up of the radicals from the Re publican and Democratic parties and from those who"ToTmel the Populist party, who before that belonged to the greenback party, who back of that were members of the know-nothing party, etc., an infinitum; all men who find the world out of joint, present laws inade quate, conditions all wrong, mainly and largely because of their own personal failures, to get into office through one or the other of the leading parties.

The state of Oregon has taken on a lot of new laws within the past few years, all experimental, laws -which as yet have not had an opportunity' of demonstrations of either value or char-, acter. It would seem, therefore, that it would be wise fortbe people to hcai-j tate before taking up aJL of the new- 1 f angled law propositions suggested by . . , ,. ..r ; , . a disgruntled and dissatisfied lot of 1 would-be politicians. Mr. U'Ren and his coterie have no Ocxl given right to be spokesmen for the people, more than others, and the ).i. .iti. Vt 1 ble wits tbe proposed laws, suirvest- troubl c J by them, is that they are so present- ed as to preclude all discussion and pos sibility of amendment. 'His" recall" projoition is undoubt- - f ru. ... can conditions, nor democratic form of government. The arguments against f. re many ami varies Then the effort to simplify the man ner of amending the state constitution is dangerous. There is always safety in conservatism. "That government governs best which governs least. ' It is an old say- ng, yet as trite today aa when firnt ajHiken.. Once in a long time it may be ;ile the state ia the sufferer through failures of legislatures to adopt certain legislation, but in the majority of cases no legislation is so alraolutely im portant that it - cannot wait Hound thought and careful weighing before it adoption. There is little reason to believe t h tt the people of the state as a generality demand the laws proposed by Mr. U'lten, vet no one doubts that a gr-:t many people will vote for them, more than likely without thinking of the re sults of such legislation. The suret way, however, of " preventing loading down our statute Woks with siu-h l:iw as are lnmnd to lead to uiisatira'tiry conditions in the end, is to refuse to sign petitions for their subiinHnion. Something has certainly ha,petu'd. The Portlantl "Oiants" have been playing ball again. That was rather a dry remark of Lineviteh when he said the Russian army was thirsting for a battle. So long as we have Mr; W. S.

Instead of going down in history as the "man with the big stick," the president will likely be known as "Theodore, the peaceful."
