The Mexican situation is getting no better fast. It begins to look as
though the grabbers of Mexican land and franchises would yet get their way,
and embroil the two countries. If war does occur, congress should pass an act
drafting every man interested in Mexican lands to help do the fighting, and

WILL THE ELECTION BE LEGAL?
SALEM has had a remarkably bard time getting hor bonds on the market,
and especially the seww bonds. Aftor voting a bond issue to cover the
sewer construction, it was found that owing to the way the bonds were
to be paid, they were not attractive to buyers, and were, in fact, sent
a-begging for purchasers. Now another attempt is being made to put the
bonds in different shape, and this will be voted on September 10, or in about
two weeks. Without going into the merits or demerits of the matter, there is
one matter that is of grave consequence, and that is the legality of the election.
The last legislature passed a new registration law, which went into effect June
3, and which provides that all legal electors shall register, and that when they
have done this they will not bo required to. register again unless they chango
their residence.
The question has not been put up to the attorney-general by any of the
stato officers, and hence that official has not given an opinion on tho subject,
nor has it been decided by any of tho courts. However, to a layman, it would
seem that the new law repealed the old, and that at any election held subse
quent to June 3, the voter would have to registor after that date. There is one
exception to this, and that is that at the election to be held in November, next,
to vote on the referendum matters, the law calling the election provided that
any legal votor registered in 1012 was eligible to vote.
This is liable to cause trouble if the bond issue carries, for the legality of
the election will necessarily come up when the bonds are offered for sale. That
Is the first thing the attorneys for the investor will inquire into. It may be
that the election will be hold legal, but this remains to be seen, and in the
meanwhile it is too late to permit the registration of voters under tho new law,
for it would require that they be registered today. It is unfortunate that this
complication has arisen, and it is hoped that it may not be serious; but it cer
tainly has an ominous look just now. It does not seem possible that tho mayor,
city attorney and councilmcn should all overlook so important a matter as the
registration of the voters.
It is up to Salem to sell bonds and pay off her debts, and so far, all at
tempts in this lino have been examples of how not to do it.
A QUESTION OP TASTE.
THE ORKCiONIAN, In an editorial entitled "Tho Sins of the Colleges,"
takes Mr. Edward Bok to tank for li is criticism of the work done by the
colleges. The Oregoninn points o'lt that the poor spoiling, of which Mr.
Bok complains, is the fault of the lower schools rather than the colleges,
and gently insinuates that poor spoiling is preferable to lack of ideas,
and that perfection of punctuation is not sufficient to counter-balance a pau
city of thought. It also suggests that the English language is ono of the most
difficult to mastor, and that it is capable of such twists and turns, such innu
merable ways of expressing the same idea, Had all of them proporly, too, that
the question of Which is the better is merely a matter of taste. It further calls
Mr. Bok's attention to some poor language of his own, all of which shows that
even the teacher may be taught. As an illustration of the various ways the
same thought, or fact, may be expressed, we submit three for Mr. Bok's
choice:
"Mr. Bok's opinion of his knowledge of tho English language is so high
that he imagines he can 'stoop to touch what others soar to reach,' and that
hit ideas of good languago, fine expression and gracoful writing, should be
used as the yardstick with which to measure all literature."
"Mr. Bok has an exalted opinion of himself, tho result of much introspec
tion and the keen peniHal of the writings and study of the beauties of expres
sion therein, of that 8ir Galahad of writers, Edward Bok,"
"Bok is an ass."
In fleimany Fraulein Porbcn has formed a league, the members of which
aro pledged not to marry a handsome man. Tho idea Is that tho handsome
fellows mako uncertain husbands, because they are subject to boing sought by
other women, and their allegiance to their wives is thus endangered. We don't
care even should tho society gain a foothold in this country, for our market is
already made. Howovor, boing a newspaper man is sufficient to over balance
tho fatal gift of beauty.
That Tillamook clergyman who was out Investigating the social evil in
Portland after midnight, wis certainly energetic. His motives aro liable to bo
misconstrued, but so long as he has the endorsement of his own consclonce,
ami knowledge of his innocent intentions he need not worry.
That Klamath Falls justico of the peace who sentenced a man to 15 lashes
for wife-beating, did not know that the law had been repealed. His law libra
ry must consist of a copy of Ayers' Almanac, and Baxter's Hints to the Un
converted.
The effete and cold riddon east should keep that over-dose of Thaw until
sometime next winter. Maybe the weather will chango, and he will bo needed
by the time Vermont gets him.
No wonder tho hero of Baa Juan Hill remains in Arizona waiting to see tho
Hopi snake dance, with his favorite candidate, 8uker, in the limelight so
prominently that even Toddy could not break in. With Teddy's endorsement,
it is remarkable that any man or let of men should pluck up courage enough
to even dure attack him. And tho great one does not even show his teeth
whilo his favorite camlidato is boing mauled by the tigers or Tammauy.
The troublo with American folks, or one trouble, at least, is that they al
ways grab too much of a good thing. With the Pacific Highway uncompleted,
another scheme is started to have a highway across tho state, and another to
build a highway from Portland up the Columbia to any old placo where
tho stopping is good. These things would bo all right If a little time was given
to get the first completed, before beginning on tho others. We get so much

Friday of this week the members of

industry in Salem will meet in the club
rooms for the purpose of considering
the preliminary plans for boosting- for
a linen mill in the city. Every detail
of not only the linen mill, but the rais
ing of flax will be taken up and dis
cussed thoroughly and, if possible, some
thing definite will be arrived at upon
which those interested will work in the
future.
A linen mill would moan much to the
Capital City and the farmers in its vi
cinity. Farm owners are requested to
bo present on the night of the meeting
and come prepared to take an active
part in the discussion. The movement
is an industrial one and therefore
should attract the interest of the busi

London, Aug. 25. The boy scout
movement in England has recently re
ceived a decided impetus through the
enlistment of a number of women
scout-masters.
"All the boys in the country aeem
anxious to join our ranks," today said
General Sir Kobort Baden-Powell,
chief scout, .but we have suffered for
lack of men who have sufficient time
or spirit to take up the work of organ
izing troops and training the lads. For
tunately, however, the women are now
coming forward as local organizors,
managors of troop funds, clubs, equip
ment, ct. Although at first there was
considerable opposition to women par
ticipating in the movement, their good
work lias proved their right to help us,
and we are glad to recognize them of
ficially as scout masters. Thjro can be
no work that is of greater interest than
that of moulding character it :S
young boys, and there bttnt.V'
can do greater good for our (tiir, V
its near future." I
