The Republicans, Notwithstanding
they have thrice elected and thrice
condemned, their successful candidate
for Mayor, have decided to again put
up straight party ticket. They
seemed to concede that "the poison OF

when they have majority, do those
things at the polls that they after
wards kick themselves for. Let us use
little common sense, neighbors.

The WOMEN OF FRANCE TAKE A
HAND IN PoLHIcs.-The French wo-
men have begun a crusade in defense
of property, Iatherland and liberty,
which is intended to influence electors
to the extent of promoting a full and
intelligently cast ballot. They will
devote special attention to the better
class of citizenship who do not take
the trouble to vote, and contemplate
exclusion from their drawing.rooms
those who are unable to show that
they have exercised the right of fran
chise. Would it not be q much more
direct method of securing results, to
WELD the ballet themselves and thus
make sure that it is cast right! 1t
seems to us that reform through the
refining, ennobling influence Of wo-
men, will never be achieved until she
is endowed with the right to direct
public affairs, instead of reliance upon
the uncertain methods of moral sua.

LOVE AND WAR-It is seldom that
Uncle Sam takes hand in requiting
the misdeeds OF lovers, but it must be
admitted that when he does, as in .
late instance, he Furnishes the recalci.
trant party to finish. President
Roosevelt has decided that man who
jilts girl is not entitled to appoint
ment in the army, and nine out Of ten
OF our people who have hearts that
attuned to the tender passion will de-
eide that he is just right in the mat
ter. The question arose on the appli.
cation Of William P. Crawford for q
Second Lieutenant's commission in
the regular army. It seems that he
had been engaged to Miss Rebecca
Douglas, of Camden, s. c., and the
wedding day had been named, but
suddenly Crawford changed his mind,
leaving the lady in a very embarrass-
ing situation. Then it was that her
friends brought pressure to bear for
rejection OF his application on the
ground Of conduct unbecoming a gen.
tleman. Politicians and other infiu.
entail people OF the State pleaded the
lady's cause and it was successful. It
is the first case on record wherein the
grim war Office has been made the
court to arbitrste suit in which Gu.
pid was plaintiff.

IAN Aberdeen Sensation. :

Under this title, an Aberdeen dis
patch Of the Eth, is published in the
Oregonidn OF Monday, which claims
that a sensation had been created
there by the Herdld's criticism Of
Judge Irwin, who had decided against
its publisher, Mr.. Carney, in case in
Voiving the county printing contract.
Mr.. Carney's article was entitled A
Judicial Curio," and goes on in a
mild and temperate way to state that
the Heralfs bid for the county print
ing was the lowest submitted, on a
circulation 400 more than had been
shown by its successful competitor,
the Gazette. The Judge, on this
showing OF facts, claimed by the Her.
aid, sustained the award of the Com
missioners to the Gazette, on the
ground that an alledged saving Of
$500, and a wider circulation OF
400, consulted "too small difference
to warrant the court in interfering with
the contract
The Aberdeen dispatch then goes
on to recite that members of the bar
practicing before Judge Irwin, Satur-
day "presented a memorial address
expressing confidence in the court.
During its reading the Judge shed
tears. AZ the case for which the
Judge was criticised has not been en-
tirely disposed Of, Editor Carney will
be cited to appear in contempt pro.
ceedings."
This is no surprise to those who
have noted how ready the majority of
lawyers are 10 endorse whatever the
bench does, if only their own corns are
not tread upon. 1t is "yea, yea" or
may, nay" as the judicial optic may
gravitate from one side to the other.
The facts are, as we understand
them: A Democratic editor shows
that his bid is the lowest for advertis-
ing the delinquent tax list that his
paper, an advocate OF Democratic
principles, has larger bona fde circu.
lation than its competitor, Republi-
can paper; that County Board, con-
sisting of three Republicans, despite
tho smaller bid and better service a.
fsrded by political rival. had the gall
to award the contract to their party
organ; and that when Mr.. Carney ap.
pealed to Republican Judge to right
the apparent wrong, he decides that
the wrong is "not large enough to
justify Interference!
1t would be interesting to note just
how big wrong must be 10 move the
beam of blindfolded Justice, or just how
far partisan interests may be used as a
defense when the peoples rights are as
sailed. The comments Of the Herald
OR rather, we assume it to be, its
plain statement Of facts-should not
hurt the righteous judge so severely
~ to cause his tears to flow over the
speedy rescue Of sympathetic friends,
or for citation to issue for appear
ance to answer in contempt proceed
ings. There is no sentence in the
Herald article which can be construed
into personal attack.
Courts should stand upon their rec
ord, if they would command that re-
spect which the ermine 80 insistently
demands.

The Horse Will Probably Win Out.

1t is not SO sure, after all, that the
trolly car and the automobile have
reiegated to obscurity mans faithful
friend, the horse. The electric street
car presents few insuperable objec.
tons among which is the deadly ma
ture OF the high current of propulsion
by trolly wires, and it is found that
whatever form OF energy that is
adopted on the so-called "auto" ve-
hicle, it is inclined to run away
and chuck" as often as the horse and
with quite as disastrous effect upon
its occupants lives and its owners
pocket. So far, it has been shown
that the automobile is quite as much
OF cost for propelling force and re-
pairs rs the maintenance of the four.
footed means of propulsion. Then,
considering tie cost, the fad has prob
ably already reached its eliminating
point, which is much sooner than the
bicycle scaled the apex Of popularity.
The latter had an evolution from the
high machine to the safety, which
gave it new impetus, and improve
ments on the latter, such as pneu-
matte tires and small details in aid OF
strength, weight and means of rapid
propulsion, served to place the auto
before the public in an advanced stage
of development.
1t looks at present as if success in
aerial means OF projection will absorb
inventive talent. The Santos Du.
mont balloon has certainly demon.
strated an ability for service a short
distance. under perfect control OF its
manager, and the several unsuccess.
full attempts which preceded the final
triumph, mitigate in no essential de-
gree against its complete efficiency,
for it must be borne in mind that
manipulation OF the creation of the
inventor was as new to himself as to
Others, and there are few intricate ma.
chimes which do not require skill to
manage them successfully.
Fads come and 60, without obeying
any patent operation of reason, and
it is only an intrinsic value based
upon business requirements which in
sures permanence Of any innovation
that catches the favor OF the throng
merely as means of Amusement.
At least it is fair to presume, that the
horse will, at least, divide honors with
all modern forms Of propulsion of We
hicles.

RUSSIAN COTTON AND AMERICAN.

DOUBT THROWN ON A GERMAN EAST ASIAN IDEA
Berlin, Dec. ia newly formed East Asiatic So
ciety, whose purpose is the promotion of German
interests in Asia, discussed at meeting to-day
the possibility of breaking the American cotton mo-
nopoly by introduction of the Russian product
grown in territory east of the Caspian Sea. DR..
August Etienne read paper before the meeting
affirming that the Caspian Sea territory already
supplies nearly half of Russia's requirements for
cotton. He said that a result of special investi-
cations he convinced that the Central Asian
cotton product could be indefinitely extended. and
that It would be a good thing for Germany If Rus
sia became exporter OF cotton, not only because
Germany would thus be less dependent upon the
United States, but also. Russia constituted such
an important market for German manufactures, 1t
would be desirable take Russian cotton for man
ufacturing purposes.
General Won der Gotz. the president OF the soci-
ETY.. who, while acting as reorganizer OF the Turk
ish army had special opportunities TO become ac-

living beyond said he doubted the probability of
soon being able 10 overcome the obstacles to a
large cotton production in the territory in question
