It is distressing no doubt, but hardly justifies calling all doing so perjurers. The lines between the parties are pretty well oblitera'ed, and many a voter hardly knows which party he belongs to. There are num bers of democrats who register as such, yet who at the election will not support certain of their party candidates. The same is true of all parties. Many register as repub licans from habit and because the party is the strongest, and it is natural to desire to be on the winning side. Again the progressive party has practically disappeared, says the Oi-egonian, and this vote has no doubt largely regis tered this year as republicans. If a progressive is not nominated 'for president, will these all, or nearly all, vote he republican ticket? That, of course, remains to be seen, but it is highly probable they will not. That many of these under the conditions suggested will vote the democratic ticket is a certainty. Yet they can hardly be classed as perjurers- . . There is a large element of voters that are rather in dependent, whose political affiliations have been with the republican party, who especially in selecting state and county officers cast their votes for the man rather than the party, for the reason that there is really no politics in the state or county office. In order to vote they have to register and naturally register as belonging to the party with which they former ly affiliated. In fact there are many conditions and cir cumstances that will explain the dill'erence between the registration and the final vote. OREGON FLAX FIBER IN DEMAND Silverton is a wideawake thrifty little city with lots of i vim and a promising future on that account It does not ; want to rely very heavily though on the discovery of an' "aluminum mine" near it. As a matter of fact aluminum is the most abundant of all the metals and if the white clay lands through the valley could get rid of it they1 would be the better therefor. Aluminum is the basis of; clays and its cost is due not to its scarcity, but to the fact that no cheap way has been found for extracting it from its surroundings. When this is done it will be the cheap est of all metals. It is difficult to do things with too, that other metals will stand for. It for instance, cannot be welded like most metals for the reason that the moment it is exposed to the air after being heated it is covered with a coating that prevents its welding. j Now that it has been demonstrated that we can grow flax, and the best flax too, here in the Willamette valley; and that it is further shown there is a demand for the liber, it looks as though all that is needed to make the industry a success is to grow more of it. It gives promise of solving the problem as f,o the best crop to grow in the valley. It not only will bring good returns to the grower but will be the means of establishing factories here and giving Salem a pay roll such as it has never dreamed of. America is learning the lesson of being self sustaining, and with the flax fields of Belgium devastated there will be an ever growing demand for flax products. Indeed the demand now has gotten far ahead of the supply and un less Oregon comes to the rescue it will be a long time be fore conditions in this line become normal again. There never was so favorable a time for getting the industry on its feet, for prices will remain high indefinite ly. Not only the state officials in charge of the flax ex periment, but the Commercial club and every citizen of Salem and the Willamette valley too, should use evt ry effort to get the crops raised and factories located here for working up its produc's. It is a crop that requires much hand work and will give employment to a small army in the fields and another larger one in the factories. Ohio expressed its choice for president Tuesday, in no uncertain terms. Her favorite son Theodore E. Burton was so far ahead of the balance of the candidates they could hardly be considered "also rans." The dispatches say "Roosevelt received slight indorsement, a few writing his name on their ballots." Henry Ford also received a few votes on both the democratic and republican ticket. It might be better for the two to get together on one ticket- Mais carrying the dove cote, would make a fine cut for the ballotand an artistic motto, would be "Rax vobiscum." Harry C. Hammond at present sering a three year sentence at McNeil's Island, federal prison, recently wrote, a long letter to Captain Thomas of the secret service in' an effort to secure a pardon. He stated he had had a change of heart and wanted to lead a clean Christian life.' To show his good faith he unbosomed himself, told of all the prisons he had done time in, and the crimes he had committed. The letter should have, according to the way stories usually are told, awakened sympathy and secured; his pardon. Thats the way it does in romances, but : Thomas was not romantic, and so is taking steps to have ; Hammond sent up for life as an habitual criminal. Bobbie! Burns covered the case in a line or twoj "The best laid schemes of mice and men, gang aft agley." Massachusetts sends its delegates to the republican national convention unpledged, but it took care to select only stalwart members of the "old guard" for the job. So far Teddy seems about in the condition of the boy who was chasing a mouse around -a corn shock, and who to an inquiry as to what he was doing? replied, "catching mice." "How many have you caught?" was the next question. "Well," said the boy as he made a vicious swipe with a corn stalk: "when I catch this son-of-a-gun and two more I will have three."

This it is said is caused by the difficulty in getting wheat owing to the German submarines, and the sinking of Dutch ships. They may stand for the bread being made short but if those submarines ever interfere with the sauer kraut supply there will be things doing at The Hague that are not down in the diary of William Jennings Bryan or known in the dove cote where Ford keeps his specimens. League Season In Capital City Begins With Promise of Good Exhibition A cartoon in Wednesday's Oregonian shows Uncle Sam in Crusoe' garb standing on the sea shore, and;ators around him tracks made by people of many foreign lands. The cartoon is true to fact; for any foreign nation that lands on American soil will turn most of its attention to "making tracks." ' If the sun smiles fur a Jay or two iit the end of this week the SeitHUirs will open the baseball season on thoir homo grounds next Sunday against the Bu'-y Beaver, of Portland, and celebrate the adeut of the Senators in the later City league. Jernian Park, at the end i'f state street, is badly soaked t.t present Imt the grounds will be put in iirst class ahape if the weather man is generous and the season will open with the strongest possible llmnp for the Sin- Cummins got the majority vote in Nebraska, with Ford a close second, but Hughes got twelve of the sixteen delegates pledged to vote for him. This illustrates the difference betwixt the name and the game. Home rule for Ireland would be all right if the Irish men could decide mong themselves which represented the "Home" and was for this reason entitled to rule. "It's just one blamed thing after another," remarked the Salem woman as she climbed the fish ladder leading to. the hurricane deqk ot a Salem street car. By the way didn't Ford send a party of peace delegates to Europe some time or other? Are they still where he sent them or have they come home? Maybe the man who leaves his estate to his widow on condition that she does not marry again is after all a philanthropist and a humanitarian. Cole, of Stnvton. or Burhant. of Dal las, will be on liand to do ilie twirling. Cole showed in last Similars game against the penitentiary team, tint He had plenty of smoke mid a good assort ment of turves and that ue has the cIhks to make him a regular winner in the Inter-City league. Batiinir. is an old hand at the firing line and will have no trouble in holding his own in the league. With dependable hinders, and n veteran infield the .cuatci-s will be able to sign up a heavy hitting out field that will make the other Inter City leaguers travel some to take their measure. Secretary Tiny Baker promise? a good game and his past reputation as man ager of the 11UK Senators iiwi -rare thai he will make good his representations. The Senators are handicapped by a late start, but when tliqy once, g.'t going they intend to keep one eye on the pen nant and the other on the ball ;uid laud on both. :((:( 3t S( C SfC i(C 3jc OPEN FORUM SUMMER MUSIC Editor Journal: If what I rutd.in this morning's ".statesman" concern ing this summer's public music is true, I am satisfied the music committee has acted nrhitrarilv and without consult ing the wish, if not' the need, of the grains and mill food stuffs remain thd people, musically. i same as yesterday.

Who compose this musical committee? Let them come forward and make a plain statement of the facts. I, too, am a music lover. Do "music committees" arrogate to themselves power to deter mine the public's musical taste There was a time when a man who had wares to sell told the public to "take it, or leave it," at his price. That day is gone, for this is the day when the people determine what they shall have. "The cut will men-, the dog will have his day," you know. It is the belief of the writer that i the "Statesman" correspondent is cor rect and I am unwilling to believe it. the mirsical fortunes of Salem have entered a period of decadence.
