Now here comes a Hltuallon thu like whereof has never cropped up In this country. At. the primaries held In Halem a nhort time uko, Mr. SteeveH van elected mayor, ho having received a majority vote over all com pclltorH. He does not have to run UKaln, for under our charter ho In elected. In the meanwhile, woman Is given tlm liallot, and undoubtedly will vote at the city election.

There will be no cooipllcatloli arising from this for .Mr. Sleeves was elected under the law before the women with enfranchised, but still It raises a very pretty tech nical (Uciillon, anil certainly an en tirely new one. will t;tl from this slate the man for that position. Oregon deserves It, and i-he has plenty of strong timber avail able. Don't overlook us, Mr, President. w mi: til, IV.IM THIS. IT Is undoubtedly true that, "to the victors belong the spoils," but III politics tlie matter of the sl.o of the spoils Is sometimes, at. least, de batable. It Is so here In Oregon, this year, and undoubtedly the same con dition exists In every state In the l lilon. Already tin Democratic as pirant for office Is In evidence, anil very naturally and also very properly ho, for when Iho political pie Is cut, after March 4th next, there will be pieces only for the Democrats. Hut, and an Italicized "hut" at that, there are "conditions." One of these is thai President Tuft has the right, to fill Micanclcs now existing or that may exist up to tin' time of his retire ment, and be has very frankly Inll twited that he will not neglect thu opportunity. The postiuastersldiis of I'crtland and Salem are two of iho places which ho has the right to fill, ami when filled Ids appointees will bold for four years, or practically until the end of President Wilson's term. Of course, President Wilson. befoiii his term expires, will get a wluirli at these sal I'l'lces, hut It is a long lime for a hungry man who wanti, pie to wall lor the culling llmvecr, there are many line posi tions I luil will he vacant soon after 1'ivvil.

HKN the excursion train to Al bany pulled out thin morning there was a goodly number of Salem citizens abroad, and wo are pleased to note, ipiHe a number of Salem citizens aboard, and wo arc Is a purely social visit to our charm ing neighbor to the south, and thu size and character of tho bit; crowd going to pay their respects to her, tells better than words can, how de lightful an cntcriaim-r she Is, and after today's visit this will bo more fully understood and more highly ap preciated by all who put their feet under her mahogany and partake of her hospitality. It Is pleasing Indeed to note thai, Iho olil-tline Jealousy and bickerings between the cities or the great. Wil lamette valley have practically ceased -thai we one ami all appreciate that our own home town Is not. the only one, and thai there Is room enough for all. The great Wlllanieiie valley, with its boundless resources, lis prolific: soil, mild and cipiablo cllmale, un lluilled walei power ami vast range of products, will need and iiiuxi. have not one big center, but dozens of tin illy hustling business and uuinu faelurliig towns. Salem, Albany, Ku gene, llosohurg, Medl'ord, (Irants Pass, all are natural centers for rich localities, and there are others. They tiro not. iIviiIh, hut all members of one great big prosperous family, bound together by lies of blood and by mutual Interest. And so Salem today visits her sister town, glad of the opportunity to rejoice wllh her hi her splendid development. And then there are (lie apples. Hut, after all, they are hut the means causing the gathering, anil In a sense are of secondary consideration, for the pleasure of meeting nnd association iifvkv (i.kws ii nt y.v voiik HI Mi OS, LOOK ITOV WILSON'S , Huitlns from tho w hl.l.l IJn AS A I lll.Mi n SOI.

Thu over whelming victory of Mr. Wilson, due largely to division of his opponents, emphasizes the coming of a new era and the entry Into business affairs of important new political Issues, tho so lution of which, If wisely handled, will largely solve; present discontent. That any radical departures are Impending seems highly Improbable. Mr. Wilson Is an evolutionist, not a revolutionist His party Is likely to bo promptly di vided Into, radical and conHervatlvo (amps, with an Influential Republican minority capable of throwing It weight on either side, so that extreme action will be dllliciilt. The great Issues for fl rut treatment are the tariff and tho trusts; the former having a very pro nounced lead. The emphatic diame ter of Democratic successes may has ten tariff legislation and precipitate a special session, though Mr. Wilson Is believed to prefer postponement of action unl.il the regular assembly of the new congress a year hence, In older that he may have opportunity to properly familiarize himself with his new duties. Hasty action Is of course undesirable, y It may have to be faced; ami the steel, cotton and wool en schedules will be the chief objects of revision, If the plans or the old Democratic tariff leaders are to be carried out, us seems possible at this writing. Al'ler all has been said nnd done It. Is not likely i loii any serious Inroad will be made In the tariff be yond moderating the extreme sched ules. The tail IT Is no longer a strict ly party Issue, anil the Democratic patty now includes an llilluentlal pro tectionist, element which would join the Itepulillcans in opposing extreme. measures. Mr. Wilson, though a low tariff advocate. Is opposed to radical changes, recognizing the unwisdom of a violent disturbance to established i I'd n st ry, and having already advocat ed a gradual revision. Itevciiuo neces. sltlcs will also limit downward cuts In rates. Nevertheless, the fact that (ar il! changes are Impending will bo un settling to certain Industries, and no noting nnd ijilicivcl:sitv(. Interests of the great power-. The danger of complications, however, will not have passed until the terms of peace with Turkey nro establish d and tie- great est Influence towa.-d maintaining peace Is the uiiwIllinHess of Kuro- pean bankers to flnam - any import ant war movement. In thl-f onncc tlon It Is of Intcre-t. to note the de velopment of more cordial relations between Kngland and i'!"nnany. The financial cri.-.-i in Kurope re- ippears to have iiiii there Ikih been no further .selling of American securities. On the contrary, in both London and Paris and other Euro pean financial centers there has been a marked change of sentiment toward American securities v;. success of Mr. Wilson has h'-'ii favorably re ceived abroad ami Prlllsh investors huvo openly declare! themselves ready to buy our stocks if depressed by Democratic vl(!ors. While there are many at hone- who will be de pressed by the latter (ireunistiin.ee, It Is likely that they will 'illicitly recov er their equilibrium, and It must be rt-inoinhered that, those dated by suc cess wdll be more ready to take the Initiative. Since the election there, has been u decided increase of stock market activity nnd a sharp rise In values followed, accompanied by pronounced reactions. This may he the course of the market for some time to come. Owing to the exceptional lateness of frost bolh the corn and the cotton crops are showing a decidedly great er yield than predicted in tho Gov ernment reports n month ago. The s'ze of our wonderful harvest and Its heneflcleiit results upon business havo not yet been sufficiently ap preciated; albeit railroad earnings , , .... . . are snowing spi. mini results in con sequence.

OJMIIWWI ip, pg.fHTH'Tl Outside of the few Industries vital ly dependent on the tariff, tho fart that the election Is over Is most en couraging. Political agitation will now largely Htibslde and must run on more rational lines, The Incentive to win voles by sensational methods Is gone. Radicalism has received a, pro nounced check, and once more at the critical moment the people of tho I lilted Stales have shown that they (Sliuot ho Induced lo follow cNtreiu Ims. no mailer how fascinating and plausible their theories. Apart from the tariff ipiestlon, there Is much in the election that should strengthen the confidence of business men. Tho President-elect Is a man of high char acter, great ability, firm purpose and It tiipeiate action. There Is nothing In his election that Is likely to inter, lerc with business activity. That is more dependent upon the stimulating etlects of Iho niagnll'icieni harvests than upon any political activity or policy although (be present for ward ' 1 em. Ill III lol-dness will unqiics.

AM In- !'( at ions point to a period of excep ts nal business activity which sootier 'i' laid- must ! ivtlectod in higher ''entity markets. Monetary comli t'ons are Improving, and the Iron and teel Industry continues on i's ref old breaking course. The business t-eoins In Kngland and Cerinanv hovv no signs of cessation, and since onr piesi ni Industrial activity is partly dependent upon a worldw Ide develop ment there is (he greater reason I'm- its longer continuance. The foreign trad.- of both Fnglaud and (lermany ! Is trowing by leaps and bounds, and it Is highly satisfactory to note that the lulled States Is winning its -hare, our exports of steel products Having grown ireu cmioiisly the lasi i few months ami yielding good profits 1 in spite of competition with foreign makers. The unexpectedly brilliant suocvss of the H.tlkan Stales In their war eealnst Turkey will tend to simplify rather than aggravate the seitlemer.t of the Halkan problem. The readi ness of the Halkan States, which havo hitherto been at permanent enmity Ulween themselves, to co-operate against Turkey has made them more Independent of outside Interference and really renders n settlement mor feasible than If submitted to the ccm- Salem Heights.
