THE PROPOSED PRIMARY LAW.
The direct primary law that is to
bo submitted to the voters of Oregon
will probably carry at the polls.
The Journal has always contended
for the principle of direct nomination.
as it has for a registration law, but
it is doubtful about both.
The registration law has proven a
wretched failure. It puts the honest
voter to expense and trouble, and lets
In all the frauds.
That law was a ready-made affair,
probably got up by one man, and he
a faddist and theorist. It is a speci
men of ill-digested nostrum quackery
legislation, that burdens the taxpay
er, works injustice and helps frauds.
The proposed direct primary law
was the work of one man W. S.
U'Ron, of Oregon City. It wns hasti
ly endorsed by prominent politicians,
who never gave the subject sufficient
consideration.
Tho newspapers of the stato and
the politicians of tho state all seem
afiaid to.dig Into tho merits and de
merits of this matter, and tho chances
are tho law will be adopted.
Tlat It will bo a dead letter and In
dperatlvo no one can doubt It prac
tically abolishes all political conven
tions, and all parties but tho Republi
cans and Democrats If a law could
do those things.
Of course, a law cannot abolish such
political institutions, and hence It
will be a defunct statute. We stand
for tho principle of direct nomination,
but against tho form of this law.

Those who take a drink as a matter
of pure sociability are not commit

unless they carry it too far and are

Tho margins of success In the
world of competition are not large and

can carry in his hide, and with tho
fumes of strong liquor in his head
carries too heavy a handicap.
A TEXAS POEM.
The boys nt tho S. P. depot at Al
bany received a long letter, from Mort
Poulsen, freight clerk, now 'In Den
mark on a visit after an absence of
fifteen years. His descriptions are
graphic of differont sections visited in
America and Europo and Wero read
with groat Interest by) his friends
around the depot. Ho thought ho
might leave Copenhagen for Albany
about the 7th of May, but was not
certain. If so he would get homo
the first of June.
Perhaps no part of Mort's trip Im
pressed him more than tho rldo
through Texas which he has described
In tho following poem, dedicated to
tho Albany Democrat man:
The Devil in hell we're told was
chained,
And a thousand years Sie there re
mained. Ho neither complained or did ho groan
But determined to start a hell of his
own,
Where he could torment the souls of
men
Without being chained In a prison
pen,
So he asked tho Lord if he had on
hand
Anything left when ho made his land.
The Lord said, "Yes." I had plenty on
hand,
But I left It down on tho Rio Grande.
The fact is "old boy," the stuff is so
poor
I don't think you can use It In hell
any more."
But the Devil wont down to look at
tho truck.
For after examining it carefully and
well.
He concluded the place wo3 too dry
for a hell.
So In order to get It off His hand
The Lord promised the Dovll to water
tho land,
For he had some water or rather
some dregs,
A regular cathartic that smelled like
bad eggs.
Ilonco tho trade wns closed, tho deed
was given, ""'- '
And tho Lord wont back to his homo
in Heaven;
Tho Devil said to himself, "I have all
that Is needed
To make a good hell," and hero ho
succeeded.
He began by putting thorns all over
tho trees,
And mixed up tho sand with millions
of fleas;
Ho scattered tarantulas along tho
roads,
Put thorns' on tho cactus, and horns
on the toads.

Baker City has installed the second
beautiful public fountain in the court
house square. It is a figure of a boot
black holding up an old boot, with tho
water streaming out of holes In tho
toes and all around.
There are Democrats In Orogon who
talk of dofeating Sam White in his
race for district attorney. There would
be no democratic party In Oregon but
for Sam White.

ASSIST THE ENUMERATORS.
Mayor Wators has asked all tho cit
izens to help tho enumerators take a
complete and correct census of Sa
