PAYNE AND THE CAMPAIGN.

Payne is mentioned as leader of Mr.
ROOsevelt's campaign. In all proba-
bility the management will be retain
ed by Hanna, but in any event Payne
will be a chief mentor for Mr. Roose-
welt; that much is certain. Payne's
time and attention will be given to
steering his chiefs candidacy, and
this in spite of the fact that the post
office department needs a man at its
head, and that for the next two years
the nations interests are more in
rimately connected with department
affairs than with the ambitions and
designs of the executive politician.
For two terms the pOstOffice depart
ment has been virtually left to run
itself, While Smith and Payne played
politics. The latter received his ap-
pointment not in the interest of pub
lie service, but in the interest of Mr..
Roosevelt Payne was chosen solely
because of his abilities as a fixer. For
three years the departments welfare
will have been sacrificed in order to
secure to Mr.. Roosevelt a proficient
campaign worker.
Payne evidently considers his off,
cial services of no great moment; he
feels under no obligations to the peo-
pie; his services in the meantime
count for nothing; these things he mas
demonstrated. He is under obligation
to Mr.. Roosevelt only, and he will
discharge it by performances, not as
postmaster general, but as practical
politician and wire puller.
Political services were the essence
Of the contract" by which Payne be-
came member Of the cabinet Payne
had Smiths example before him.
The postOffice position had been sim
ecure. Payne understood that he was
accepting a sinecure, as far as the
department itself was concerned.
Smith knew no more about it's actual
affairs than the negro, A. S. Day,
knows Of the affairs of Quondocquai.
Payne has learned just enough Of
the postoffice department to realize
that its affairs must. for the sake of
Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy, be kept Sc
cret as far as possible. Keeping them
secret has been in the line of Payne's
contractural performance. The gist
of the services will be rendered in
1904.

CHlNAMAN is MURDERED.
Fellow Countryman Killed Him anc
Put His Body in River.

Heppner Junction, Ore.-The re-
mains of a murdered Chinaman were
dragged from Columbia river Monday
There was horrible cash in the back
of his head. This Chinaman was seen
here late Saturday evening in COM
pany with another Chinaman. officers
are now searching for the companion
OF the murdered man, but as there
is but little description of him the
chances of catching him are extremely
poor. A short distance from the river
marks where the men had been scuffl-
ing were found. Many blood stains
were found at the same place. Marks
where the body was dragged to the
river could easily be seen. At first it
was thought to be the body Of one of
the many missing of the late Heppner
disaster.

MAY BE CONTESTS.

Although Frank S. Dement,, late
candidate for mayor against Gilbert
Hunt. and J. G. Scott, late candidate
for councilman from the Second ward
are not disposed to make any contest
for the offices for which they were de-
feated on the face of the returns by
majorities of Is and 4 respectively
many of their supporters, especially
among the law and order element, are
urging the anti-machine leaders to
bring contest proceedings and to con-
tinue them at least to the extent of
securing a recount of the votes cast
The advocates of such contests argue
that they voted against Mayor Hunt
because they did not approve of his
administration, that they voted for
Mr.. Dement, because they expected him
to give a better administration. and
lastly that if any frauds or Irregular
ties were practiced by the machine in
order to elect its candidates, the fact
should be exposed and corrected in
the interest of honest elections and
good citizenship.
The Statesman is informed that at
tOrneys are now looking into the legal
aspects of the question, and that upon

BARBER CASE IN COURT.
Robert CLANCY, Representing 2
Firms. Defendant in Trial.

The case Of the state against Rob
ert CLANCY, accused of violating the
barber law providing for the issuance
of certificates of registration came up
in Justice Cams court Tuesday, and
after an afternoon spent in arguments
on techincalities was continued until
Wednesday. Before any witnesses
were called. the defendants in the
action introduced a demurrer to the
complaint against CLANCY.
The complaint states that Chaney
shaved and cut the hair OF human
being for hire and reward. The at
torneys for the defense objected to
the complaint because it did not
specify what persons hair was shaved
and cut by CLANCY. After several sit
uations on both sides, Justice Cam
overruIed the demurrer, and Fred
Brown. treasurer Of the state bar
Der examiners, was called on the
stand.
He testified, although almost every
question put to him was objected to,
that CLANCY kept an unsanitary shop
on Washington street, and that for
the past year he had no renewal OF
certificate of registration.
CLANCY is one out of twenty six
BARRIERS whose licenses have been re-
vOked by the state board on the ground
that their places are in unsanitary
condition. His case, as admitted in
court is a test case. and upon the de
cisiOn in this instance will depend the
disposition of future prosecutions for
the same Offense which might be aim
ed at the other Outcast BARRIERS.
1t is said that the licenses have been
revoked by the barber examining
board because the smaller BARRIERS
have not agreed to conform to the re-
cent raise in the scale of prices for
shaving and cutting the hair of a
human being On the side of the
prosecution are Attorneys Craven and
J. B. Hart. For the defense are APP
pearing c. S. Shank and Richard Win
SOr.

SOMEBODY RESPONSIBLE.

"If anybody thinks the postmaster
general should know the number of
cleaners and whether they were all
at work, | have nothing to say"
answers Charles Emory Smith, by
way Of relieving himself Of respon-
sibility for frauds committed under
him during the last administration.
This must be regarded as an ex-
tremely unbusinesslike plea. Some
body was responsible for the cleaners.
Somebody was responsible for the
man who had charge of the cleaners,
and the responsibility was ultimately
referred up to the postmaster general.
A number of people in authority, in
Guiding heads of bureaus directly I'M
derneath Mr. Smith, were RESPONSE
bic for stuffing the pay rolls and col
lecting pay for straw cleaners and
numerous others. The cleaners or
scrub people were selected as an eX-
IRENE example, an example of min
ute frauds of which the former post
master general naturally would not
have had personal knowledge; but
he will not be allowed to plead de
minimis.
Such a plea would not be received
from the general manager Of any self
respecting business concern. Minor
people who draw pay from a business
house must do their work. 1t is some
bOdy's business to see that the house
gets value received. If the general
manager does his work we'll every
other man, down to the office boy,
does likewise-it is no mere theory;
IT is universal fact. The pOstOffice de-
partment was supposed to be run on
up-tO-date business principles. Either
cOnnivance or gross negligence was
responsible for the scheme of
sWindling which fiourished under
Charles Emory Smith and continued
under Payne-a scheme which did not
stop at petty mulcting in the rank of
scrubbers. but extended upward. in
vOlving every branch of the service
Had there been more of administra-
ton and less politics the service would
have been clean.
