ORKGOXS POUTICAt, CJfwr.E.
Voters In Oregon hare fared at tb.
polls a test the like of. wnlch was
never Imposed in any other state, and
the results must be set down as most
confusing. While only meager re-;
urns have thus far been received on
the rote on the many different proposi
tions submitted under the Initiative
and referendum plan, it is certain that
Governor Chamberlain, democrat, has
received a majority ot the votes for
United States senator and is therefore
under the Oregon law, slated for elec
tion by the legislature unanimously
republican. '
This paradoxical result Is due to the
operation of a double-barrelled' pri
mary law by which the members of the
legislature are pledged to support for
senator the candidate getftng the
largest popular vote at the polls.
When the legislature of. Oregon, sol
idly republican, shall have carried out
this mandate, a democrat will be sent
to represent republican Oregon in the
United States senate. Should his vote
ever by chance be the deciding one- In
that body, we might see congressional
legislation in support of a raWd demo
cratic policy enacted by the vote of a
senator whose constituency is in thor
ough sympathy with republican poli
cies and dominated In all executive
and legislative branches by republi
cans.
The chargevls made by republican
leaders in Oregon that the peculiar
result is due to the fact that the dem
ocrats of. the statet regtsterlnjj as re
publicans in the' first primary election,
forced the nomination of the repub
lican candidate, and then turned in to
defeat him at the polls. The Portland
Oregonlan, discussing the registration
feature of the fight, recently said:
It Is known that the registration Is a
colossal He, a perjured lie, Invited' by a
primary law conceived In folly and used
by eleotors fordecepton; and for fraudul
ent partisan ends. It Is abetted by men
of both parties. It marks 'the greatest dis
honesty of politics, under present leader
ship, and of legislation under "the new
system." The system makes a Jest, a
farce, a lie, of the highest duty of citizen
ship.
The Oregon result is a perversion of
the principle back of the state primary
laws adopted in most states. The pur
pose of these laws is to enable tho indi
vidual voters in each party to Indicate
the candidate to be voted for by the
legislature, in case of party victory. It
contravenes all previous practice to
force a legislature of one party to elect
the senatorial candidate of another
party.
A FEW DISCREPANCIES.
Careful observers will . note a few
discrepancies In the various explana
tions that are being offered of the
secret consignment of Parker-Ryan
boodle to Nebraska in 1904.
Accounts from the Wall street end
of it are to the effect that $20,000 left
Wall street, headed for - the Nebraska
prairies, while Mayor ' ,'Jim'( insists
the pot had simmered dewo Vto only
$16,000 by the time it reached him..
Mayor "Jim" says the money was
sent out to help elect as governor the
fusion candidate, Berge, who was
threatening the railroads and corpora
tions generally with all kinds of ven
geanoe, if not extermination. It must
have taken a hypnotist to get Ryan
and his Wall street associates to put
up money to help a man put nails in
their own coffin.
Mayor "Jim" further says the
money was all spent for state purposes,
but be filed no account of his expend!
tures, as the state law requires, and
Justifies his defiance of the state law
on the ground that he was spending
national campaign' funds as national
committeeman.
Mr. Bryan has been advocating pub-1
llcity of campaign contributions, while
the d!rlbtitlon of a $16,000 pot of
Parker boodle in his own state was
kept dark up to this' moment. If
Mayor "Jim" knows what he did with
the mopey it is not yet too late to
make it all public, but It Is too late to
make it square with the financial
statements sworn to at the time by the
various treasurers ' of the democratic
committees.
By the way, whose money paid for
those special trains with' which Mr.
Bryan made his tail-end rear-platform
campaign through Nebraska that year?
We do not recollect seeing that item
In any ot the published statements.
TUB DEMAND FOR LABOR.
The problem of what 'to do with
the unemployed, a question 'that cre
ated grave concern a few months ago.
while not yet completely solved, has
been somewhat relieved by a growing
demand for more workmen. For the
Kansas wheat harvest, which ",w 11 open
about June 16, the state employ
ment agent has issued a Call for
22,000 men, promising wages running
from $2.60 to $4 a day. The call ex.
plains that the harvest work will be
continued for several months as the
men, as soon as the Kansas crop is
out of the way, will be wanted in Ne
braska, the Dakotas. Minnesota and
Canada. Crop prospects . are most fa
vorable and from now until the corn
is gathered in October and November,
there should be abundant work tor all
who may apply.
Industrial reports at the same time
show that the mills and factories ot
the east are resuming work and the
unemployed in the ' large cities' are
dwindling to corporal's guard propor
tions. As another factor in the labor
market, the Bureau f Immigration a
Washington reports that nearly 600..
000 laborers have left (be United
States since last October, to return to
the old homes in Europe. This exodus
was expected in winter months, but it
turns out that the meekly average of
those .who left luring the month of
May was in excess of 17,000. In the
first four months of this year 239,010
laborers returned to Europe, compared
with 96,731 for the same period of
last year. In addition to this drain on
the labor supply, the number of im
migrants who arrived In this country
In the first four months of this year
was but 124,392, as compared with
404,332 who landed in this country
between January 1 and June 1 of last
year. The net loss to the labor supply
for the four months was 114, 61S,
while the loss since last October will
be in excess of 260,000.
The condition might be serious If
there were any prospects of it being
long continued. The working array of
Europe, .however, is quick to learn of
improved conditions, and it may be ex
pected that the return tide of immi
gration will soon set in toward this
country. Thousands of thrifty for
eigners who went home when the busi
ness depression set In last fall will be
prompt to return when they learn that
employment awaits them in America.
THE GRAND JURY REPORTS.
The grand Jury has labored for
nearly five weeks and has brought
forth two reports. Both the majority
and minority reports are prolific of
advice as to the future management ot
police affairs well calculated to divert
attention from the paucity of true
bills found.
It is a well defined rumor that the
greater part of the sessions of the
grand Jury were devoted to a search
ing inquiry into the red light district
and to pointed examination of its den
izens to uncover, if possible, some in
formation to' bolster up the oft-ped
dled tales of police protection, but
without finding anything savoring of
police corruption or malfeasance.
Tho indictment of a few specially
selected offenders in the social evil
business may serve as object lessons
or scapegoats, but it is manifest that
every one of these cases could Just as
easily have been prosecuted through
the county attorney's office without
putting the taxpayers to the expense
of a costly grand jury right on the
heels of the former grand Jury that
had been equally barren ot results.
As to the recommendations ot the
grand Jury embodied in the dual re
ports, the members of the police board
will surely give them due considera
tion. For the most part they simply
endorse and approve the policies al
ready put into effect by the present
police board, although the one recom
mendation in the nature of a new de
parture, namely, that of official med
ical certification ot women ot the
town, presents a very doubtful propo
sition. .
The grand jury is right in saying
that it reflects public sentiment in de
manding a reasonable rather than A
technical enforcement of the so-called
"blue laws" and is to- be commended
for refusing to load up our criminal
dockets with indictments of all classes
of citizens . for trivial violations of
dead letter statutes.
The suggestion that a later grand
Jury see that its recommendations are
put into effect may be taken to fore
shadow still another grand jury tor
the fall term."
PRESIDENT AND RAILWAY WAGES,
Apparently determined to continue
its warfare against President Roose
velt, the New York Sun has resorted
to far-fetched misrepresentation to
make it appear that the president has
exceeded his authority and violated
the law in order to cause trouble for
railway corporations. In the course
of a recent editorial attacking the
president the Sun said:
Mr. Roosevelt annulled the law which
provided that In cases of wage controver
sies the parties Involved might apply to
the Interstate Commerce commlsslonV for
arbitration. The railroads, under the" pres
sure of vanished earnings, proposed to
apply, but were met with the Information
that adverse arbitration had been ordered
in anticipation.
Democratic papers, following this
lead, have been quick to accept this
statement as correct and are using it
as the basis of assaults upon the presl
dent for "usurping all the functions
of government," when a look at the
facts, which are of recent date and a
matter ot record, will change the
whole aspect.
When certain railway managers met
in conference and declared a reduction
of wages for railway employes neces
sary because earnings had been re
duced by "hostile federal and state
laws," President Roosevelt sent a let
ter to the Interstate Commerce com
mission suggesting an lnvestlga
tlon to determine the accuracy of the
railway pretensions. It was Impor
tant, he said, that the public should
know whether or not railway revenues
had been reduced and railway proper
ties damaged by either federal or state
laws.
The president annulled no law, nor
did he take any action to prevent arbi
tration between employers and eni
ployed. The record show that in no
instance during the period covered did
a single interstate railroad have any
trouble with its employes that reached
a form calling for arbitration. The
president' did not forbid reduction of
wages, but be insisted that the public
be informed as to the exact facts be
fore any radical action should be
taken aPecting the wages of thou
sands of men, which, however, had the
effect of preventing threatened reduc
tions. It is also a matter of record
that the railway managers soon aban
doned their talk of wage reduction
and it has been pretty definitely es
tablished that their original threats
were for political rather than business!0' th French senator who was addressing
This constituents upon the evils of a few
The democratic organs will be wel

railways ard they will not profit by
misrepresenting the case.
The grand Jury puts in a timely
knock on th "blood-and-thunder"
play and the "blood-and-thunder"
novel for helping to manufacture Juve
nile criminals, but is very chary about
the "blood-and-thunder" yellow Jour
nal which uses the Juvenile court ma
chinery for its distribution among sus
ceptible boys and girls.
Mr. Taft unwittingly paved the way
for trouble when he Informed some
church representatives that he was in
favor of foreign, missions. About a
year from now he may expect to be
trying to pacify and satisfy the men
who want those missions at Paris,
London, Berlin and other European
capitals.
What good reason can be given for
the proposal to substitute a bond for
the cash deposit put up by each public
service corporation to cover cpst of
replacing pavements which it cuts. Is
this in the interest Of some bonding
company, or merely for the relief of
poor suffering franchised corpora
tion?
Notwithstanding the criticisms of
the grand Jury, the public generally
should fully realise that the House of
the Good Shepherd Is founded to do
a good work that is very necessary to
every community ! and has at best a
most difficult task to perform.
As a matter of. fact, credit for
breaking the senate filibuster should

Western people, particularly the resi
dents of Montana where he made his pile,
will be delighted., no doubt, to receive pic
torial and figure de-tails of the castle built
by former Senator W. A. Clark on the
multi-millionaires' row in New Tork City.
The castle occupies one of the corners ol
Fifth avenue and Beventy-seventh street.
The New Tork Times prints what Is claimed
to be the first detailed description of th
pile, from which ,these Itema of coat are
taken:
IX,ono for bronsa work on the roof.
1140.000 for plumbing.
S140.0TO for the heating plant.
$1,000 each for Oreek msrble columns, of
which there are scores.
$2,000 for a single ornamental design on
a mantelpiece. '
$15,000 to $40,000 for the woodwork and
gildings of many of the rooms.
$11,000 for the entrance gates.
$10,000 for a frlete.
$20,000 each for the furnishings ot th
bathrooms, of which there are fifteen.
Jflfl.OOO for uncut and ummlned marble of
a single quarry.
It Is perhaps premature to speculate
upon the total cost of the Clark mansion
when completed." says the Times, "but It
has been conservatively estimated that
when Senator Clark opens his palace to
his friends the Investment will represent a
sum exceeding $10,000,000, which will make
It without doubt the mVist costly, and, per
haps, the most beautiful, rrlvate residence
In America. In order to carry out his plans
and reduce the building of this house to a
businesslike proposition. Senator Clark
eight years ago organized a realty com
pany, and made his house an Incorporated
concern. On Long Island he built a com
plete woodworking and marble cutting es
tablishment at a cost of $150,000. This es
tablishment has been In operation con
tinually for eight years, and It Is probable
that it will require two more years before
the work Is completed tn sfl its details.
Senator Clark's expenditures have run as
high as $2,ooo a day for months at a time,
and there has seldom beea a week when
thoro have been less than 200 skllllcd labor
ers at work upon the various details of the
structure. In order to continue the work
unhampered, Benator Clark purchased out
right a large granite quarry In Maine, and
another In Maryland. The vaat quantities
of copper used In the construction of the
house was taken from Senator Clark's
mines In Montana and brought on to his
plant on Long Island, where it was cast.
"So the house Itself Is practically the
product of American material and Ameri
can workmen, an achievement that in It
self is creditable to Senator Clark, and
adds materially to the public's interest in
this all-Amerlcan palace the highest ex
pression of American artlsanshlp In the
building of a private residence In New
York City."
"The first thing visitors from the west
call for when they come here Is lobster,"
said Mr. Fred Sterry, of the Piazza, quoted
by the New Tork Herald. "Next thoy want
salt water fish. It Is generally dangerous
to eat sea food In the middle west unless
one is sure it is fresh, and so the residents
of that section must come to New York
for It. v
'A summer dish, suitable for those fond
of fish, la made by Emlle Ballly, chef of
the St. Regis, and formerly of the Rits in
Paris. It is called Filet de Klngfish, Co
ralle. The preparation seems quite elab
orate to the uninitiated, but is doubt
less easy enough to a chef with a reputa
tion to maintain. Two kingflsh, weighing
one pound each, are selected. ; Filets are
cut from this and all bones removed. The
bone with the waste pieces are put in a
casserole, with one goblet of white win
and one of water. When this has come to
a boll, skim carefully and add half a
chopped carrot, halt an onion, six chopped
mushrooms, two sprigs of parsley, two ot
chenrll, a spray of thyme, a small bay leaf
and six grains of whole white pepper. Cook
twenty minutes. Separately cook the fish
with four sliced tomatoes, excluding the
seeds. Strain the bone gravy, thicken with
flour and add lemon Juice; pour over the
fish piping hot."
A letter written by a woman decided a
contest for the office of president of a
mens club in The Bronx a few days ago.
There were two candidates for the place;
one a clerk In a New York financial insti
tution, whose young wife had been a work
ing girl, the other a wealthy manufacturer,
with a reputation among his neighbors for
"closeness." The day before the election
each member of the little club received a
ty-pewrltten letter, signed by a woman
whom all knew, which began with these
words: "If what I write you is not true,
It Is libel." Then she said that the club
should not honor Its "meanest man" and
relating some amusing Incidents to demon'
strate that she was not mistaken in her
estimate of the man. In closing she wrote,
"what do you think of a man who has his
barn painted and says to his wife: 'That's
your birthday present.' If you can afford
to elect that kind of a man for your presl
dent, go ahead!" ' The alleged "meanest
man" was defeated.

No Alum, No Phosphate ot Lime
No alum or alum-phosphate baking
powder has been guaranteed or
approved by the United States or
any State authorities. The adver
tising claims of the alum powder
makers to that effect are " faked
tootsies. Dew walkers say that these early
morning walks are more soothing to the
nervous system than similar exercises at
any other time of the day.

THE UNDISCnlMINATIXG LOVER,
Detroit Free Press.
I saw her leave the house one day
Dressed In the latest style;
And as I passed she looked my way
And gave me aurh a inllel
Ah! she wss fair as any queen.
My head wss In a whirl;
Waa she the rich man's daughter,
Or just the hired girl?
Another time upon the street
We chanced to meet, and she
Gave of her glances, on, so sweet,
A goodly share to me.
And all that day my mind would turn
Back to that lovely pearl;
Was she the rich man s daughter.
Or just the hired girl?
Why should I care, If she be fair
To look upon and tre;
Should I not pay my court to her,
Aa all true lovers do?
What should It matter unto me,
Unless I be a churl.
If she's the rich man's daughter,
Or Just the hired girl.
For weeks has this been going on,
I've dared not to make known
That I would gladly be her John
If sho would be my Joan.
And yet I hesitate to apeak:
In scorn her Hps may curl;
Is she the rich man's daughter.
Or Just the hired girl?
The Pessimist What's th good
of all thla rain?
The Optimist It'll wash a lot
of windows that need It.
