THE PORTLAND election ii over, tho charter carried and the. may or and four commissioner who will liavo entire charge of the city's affairs, elected. II. R. Al bee is mayor, having been elected by a majority of approximately 6000, and Robert G. Diock, William L. Brewster, ('. A. Bigelow and Will II. Daly are the commissioner. Tho new form of gov ernment, now for Oregon, at least, will lie watched with keen interest by the whole state and if it proves the success it advocate claim for it, it will bo adopted by overy city in this Btate. Our present system of mayor and a council, ia cumbersome and under the best of ronditions, not satisfactory. There is lark of 'responsibility necessarily under the systom, but whether the commission plan will be an improvement remains to be seen, and Portland will demon strate it. Tho election was a surprise in one way, and that was in the small vote and as an incident of his duty to the polled. With a hot fight over mayor, community.

ALIENISTS AND WITNESS FEES. 1 I .X PORTLAND recently, in tho tri al of Jack Roberts, who Bet up the defense of insanity, an alienist was called in as a witness. The law provides that he should have $50 a fee in such cases. In addition to i I this, however, the alienist put in a bill to the country for 150 for his first day's attendance, and $109 for each I subsequent day he attended court, his total bill being $900. The county court very properly cut his bill to $180, but it did not let tho knife go deep enough. After the special fee of $30, allowed by ithe law, ho Bhould have been allowed his little $2 a dav just like any other citizen. A man is supposed to appear las a witness in tho interests of justice, as the most learned alienist. dollars a minute or something of that kind. And carried to its legitimate re sults every witness would be paid ac cording to his earning rapacity at his regular avocation.

Mayor Rushlight, of Portland, take his defeat philosophically, congratulates Mr. Albee, his successful opponent, who was elected by a handsome majority in spite of the Oregonian's support, and hojies that Mr. Albee may give tho city as good, or even better, a government than he was able to. It remains to be seen how much like "a garden of roses" Portland will be under the new system. Bryan has had Richard L. Metealf, ! editor of the Commoner, appointed civil , DivAmnr of the Panama Canal Zone. I This was a happy thought on Bryan 's j part, as it enables him to get nd of a blamed poor editor at government ex pense. However, it is in effect the us ing of a public office by Secretary Bry an for private gain. Indiana is the nation's pulse, accord ing to Vice-President Marshall. Having led in most of its political reforms, Oregon can claim to be its dome of thought. Kansas makes noise' enough to be its mouth, Rhode Island supplies and eye, Panama a colon and alimen tary canal; and any one who is so dis posed may locate the rest of its anat omy. Oregon Journal. Just at present California seems to be its vermiform appendix. ... Portland is a seaport just now, all right, and the Coluumbia would float anything ever built since Noah's time, from the Cascades to its mouth, and, barring the Cascades and Celilo obstruc tions, t'nele Sam's war vessels could steam clear to Lewiston, Idaho. The Oregonian says the women voted right, which means, from its viewpoint, they voted for Albee for mayor, which indicates that gentleman is a real la dies' man. t The Rogue river turkeys are no doubt much interested in the news of the ap pioach of the army of California grass hoppers. The result of the Portland election, so far as Mayor Rushlight was con cerned, can be told by using his name, "Rushlight." ... Anvway, the also rans for commis- sionerships in Portland need not feel lonesome. They can organize a general sympathy club, and console each other as there are about 80 of them. Tho Internationa) Bible Students' As sociation in session at Hot Springs, Arkansas, Monday passed a resolution asking ministers to desist teaching a literal hell, saying that place was a myth and that it meant only the gTave. Now what are they going to do with Heaven t Is that a myth also! e The wise senators say there are no lobbyists in Washington, they holding that any one interested in business af fected by proposed laws had a right to present "arguments" and could not be called lobbyists. This puts the lobby ist in the same class as those Bible stu dents in Arkansas placed hoi! they are also myths. ... Portland saloonkeepers, in nn attempt to get around tho law forbidding the giving of food of any kind with drinks, stood tho law on its head, sold the lunch and gave away the drinks. Now comes a hard headed city attorney and says this is a violation of the law just the same. Some of these dnvs, good law nnd hard horse common sense will again bo synonyniou8. In Portland Saturday (IS marriage li censes were issued, and on Monday f9. This rush was caused by the new law which went into effect Tuesday, requir ing all male applicants for licenses to marry, to undergo an examination and have a doctor's certificate attached to the marriage license It also indicates that these 1,17 individuals, or a large portion of them, objected to taking the examination. The Portland Telegram, in a scare head, line Monday night, said: "Indi cations are the total vote will be 50,- 000," and then added the startling statement: "In this case 25,001 will b(. necessary to elect." t County Judge Cloeton of Multnomah, recently pronounced guilty of violation of the law by the verdict in the Daily News criminel libel case, is now a cir circuit judge, where he csn try offend ers instead of being tried. Of course his guilt was not directly stated by the jury, but its verdict implied that the jury believed him guilty. However, the charge was only that of purchasing county supplies exceeding in value $100 without advertising for bills, but it was a violation of the law just the same, ...

DOCTOR TELLS HOW TO SHED BAD COMPLEXION We cannot restore degenerated facial tissue any more than we can restore a lost limb. It is useless to attempt to convert a worn-out complexion into a new one. Tho rational procedure is to remove tho complexion instead remove the devitalized cuticle. Not by surgical means, however, as the underlying cutis is too thin, too tender, to withstand im mediate exposure. Applying ordinary morcolizod wax will gradually absorb the offending cuticle. By degrees, a new, youthful skin appears; a skin soft and delicately tinted as a rose petal. No lady need hesitate to try this. Procure an ounce of mercolized wax of the druggist, spread on a thin layer be fore retiring, removing this in the morning with soap and water. In from one to two weeks the complexion is completely transformed. An approved treatment for wrinkles is provided by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution brings prompt and remarkable results. Dr. Rupert Mackenzie in Pop ular Magazine.

MAN'S I CORNER l It is not at all surprising that Rein- harts, in the two years yesterday during which they have been selling high grade goods in this city, have en joyed an exceptionally line trade. Close buying, Btrict attention to business, ; courteous treatment to all, and good goods will naturally build up and maiu- tain any business worth the striving. Their principal lines are, for men, the Edwin Clapp, Howard & Fosters; for the ladies, the J. & K. for the misses, Linder shoes and Fox's pumps. When you consider that the average man actually wears shoes during two thirds of each day, you will realize that comfortable and stylish footwear can do much to "make life's walk easy." The Clapp shoe has the flexibility of a glove, combined with the endurance of the oak which tans ita leather for its sole. The Clapp has a distinct individual ity of style, which makes it the ideal shoe for gentlemen. It clothes and sup ports the foot without cramping and gives grace and spring to tho walk. The man who doesn 't get his feet into a pair of this make of low shoes, doesn't appreciate the comfort of summer dress. If you would be well and comfortable in winter, the old injunction is to keep your feet warm. It may just as well be added, if you would bo cool and com fortable in summer, keep your feet cool. It is said that a graceful carriage, lithe and easy motion in walking, per fect poise of the body at all times de pend very largely upon the construction of the shoes. Howard St Foster's shoe for the ladies are made in accordance with scientific principles and rules. They insuro grace and ease of move ment, whether in dancing, walking or any kind of exercise. For mid-summer when light slippers and pumps are worn these models supply all needs. Better leather has never been tanned than is used in this make of shoes. A young lady's foot is naturally pret ty. Keep it that way by having her wear the J. & K. shoe. This firm is the acknowledged leader in fashionable footwear for ease ele gance and perfection of fit, the strong points in favor of all of the shoes car ried by them. WHAT IS THE TRUTH? The following taken from the Seattle Sunday Times is to (he point; "Why is it impossible for a newspa per to tell the truth; how do the best newspapers approximate the truth?" Please keep in mind at the very be ginning of this little discussion that tho above question is quoted literally from an examination paper entitled "Edito rial Problem and Policies," presented at the end of the first semester to the class in journalism of the University of Kansas. Further, I beg to call your attention to the fact that Bulletin No. 9 of the Department of Journalism of the Uni versity of Washington is entitled "CaD a Newspaper Print the Truth," and was written and delivered before the department of journalism by Herbert Hunt, editor of The Tacoma News. This is not a left-handed confession that all newspaper men aro liars. It isn't even an admission that a percent age of newspaper men are liars. Un der the broad proposition that a state ment is either a truth of an untruth, there arc many variations of which ab solute falsifying is hut one. What seems the truth to one man is slightly contradicted by another w;ho saw the same occurrence. What seems to be tho truth after a hurried investigation i found to be lacking in essential details of proof after a thorough investigation. The framing of the above question, which admits frankly that newspaper I do not all the time print the truth, is based on their inability to get the truth and not on any desire to falsify. As Mr. Hunt says in his address: The printing of tho truth presup poses frank witness of perfect judg ment; unerring reporters; omniscient guardsmen between reporter's pencil and press room; but first of all it pre suppose truth as a fixity; it presup poses the absence of imploring friend ships and acquaintances; it presupposes no hints, requests and suggestions from advertisers; or self seekers; it presup poses perfect diction, with no word meaning more or less than it should mean; it presupposes a freedom of mind and soul that men may dream of but as vet have not attained. But we may approximate the truth. So small a thing as the misspelling of a name, the omission of a prized initial, may stamp the editor a villain in the eye of his community. A snporlative may prove his undoing. Take a few every day instance of statements in daily newspapers which are absolutely true insofar as the abil ity of the roportera and editors to get at the truth, and yet which are pro nounced by the readers while the paper ia yet hot from the press aa being untrue. (To be continued.)
