THIS THING OF BEING AN ASS.

Unfortunately for the world, no one has a
monopoly on this thing of being an ass. Were it
mot for the inability of one man to corral the dis
tncton the writer who frames up political argument
for the republican ticket and voices it through the
editorial columns of the 0regonian might be sage
He sensitive, too this editorial writer, and wakes
exceeding wroth when some one has the temerity to
differ from him.
A day or two ago The Astorian took the Ore
gunian to task for its ncesant howl that the repub
Hcan ticket should be supported because of the ma
tional effect which a rousng victory in this state
might have elsewhere in the union. As one of the
considerations involved, The Astorian quite agrees
with its Portland contemporary that republican
majority of 10000 is highly desirable; but it pro
tested that the whole ticket was being injured as the
result of the lone cry that republicans should be
elected because of the national significance of the
matter. 1t set up the contention that there were
other equally important reasons why republicans
should be appealed to and urged to pile up large
majority. The June election is state affair and
tate issues are involved. In view of this fact the
cry that vote for the state ticket is vote for Pres
Ment Roosevelt is lame, and calculated to weaken
the ticket
Now we hear from our political adviser that there
are other reasons why the republican ticket should
be supported We are assured that President Roose-
Velt were he resident of Oregon, would go to the
polls and vote the ticket straight and do all in his
power to lend it assistance All of this is very we'll
and quite true; but how does it transpre that the
Oregonian has not previously pointed out that there
to the state election than its national sig
nifcance? Doubtless some ass has reminded the |
Portland paper that it has been off the track-a cir
eumstance which goes to show that occasionally two
asses wiser than one, even when one Of them is
pronounced to be ''new and of whose antecedents
Oregon seems to know nothing "a somewhat pc
euliar definition of a man who was born in Oregon
and has lived in the state all Of his life)
We trust that the Oregonian may continue to
profit by the advice offered at times by asses who feel
inclined to protest against slaughter and that it viii
hereafter refrain from hurting the republican ticket
by bowling the lone howl that there's nothing to the
zate election but its national significance

NO POLITICS IN 1T.

The direct primary law is not political measure
m the that it will tend to operate to the adj
vantage of one of the two principal parties We
have for it the confession of W. s. U'Ren, secretary
Of the league that the law is intended to end the
factiona strife in Multnomah county but the demo-
cratic politicians of that county are quite on par
with the republicans and equally as much in need
0 lesson at the hands Of the voters Of the two parties
m the outside counties of Oregon
The measure, which is now submitted to the voters
Of the state is neither republican nor democratic; it
Is Just bad-purely and simply bad Even in the
south, where the democratic party predominates to
an extent that renders nomination Of candidates
only matter of form to insure election, the direct
primary method has proved unsatisfactory In
Florida the people are having all sorts Of trouble,
and the Everglades state will at the first opportunity
repeal the law If the measure will not prove of
benefit in a state overwhelmingly in control Of one
party, in the name Of common sense-if it is fair to
appeal to common sense in discussing this proposed
measure what would be the result in state where
the parties are reasonably equally dividedH
Mr.. U 'Ren was afforded every opportunity of
meeting The Astorian objections to the direct pri-
mary law. His letters were conspcuously published
and his statements were carefully considered Each
was torn to pieces He failed to make one showing
favorable to enactment of the law. If the very
sponsors of the measure can not defend it from the
attack of disnterested newspapers what may be ex-
pected of the operation of the bill9

COST OF TWELFTH CENSUS.

American census-taking is the title Of an inter.
estng little volume just issued by the department Of
commerce and labor The booklet contains full
States from 1890 to 1900 and shows the great in
crease in the labor required and the different sub.
jects handled by the department.
The first census was taken in 1890 There were
II directing heads in that year and an estimated $50
enumerators. Nine months were allowed for CON-
pleton of the work. but 1S were required extensions
of time being made The report contained Sc pages
the total population that year was 1928, PA; the
total cost of taking the census was $44 3772S, and
the per capita cost $00112. In 1900 there were 300
supervisors, 52871 enumerators, 1854 clerks and
2648 field agents The time occupied in making the
enumeration was one month"; and the census report
contained 10000 pages The total population was
shown to be 1856 and the cost of the work was
81, ,854,S17.91, the per capita cost being $01550
An idea of the great increase in the cost of taking
the census can be gained from the statement that the
total cost in 1890 was 44,377, whereas the cost of
$34, ,56O90 In 1870 six subjects were handled by
the enumerators in 1900 the number Of subjects was
increased to 80.
Most interesting, perhaps, is the wonderful pro
gress made in the devices for speedily making avail
able the work of the enumerators The story of this
progress necessitates figures which ruin
up into the hundreds of millions 1t is also interest
ng to note that the population of the United States
never decreased during any PERIOD although the
absolute increase showed falling off between 1850
md 1870

Catsop county will be out of debt in another year.
This is indeed gratifying situation of affairs, ex-
employing the benefit of the law which makes pos

the valuation within the city can be raised to
able figures next year the council may see ray of
light ahead and make some reduction Of the great
debt Of $150000 which hangs the municipality,
and which requires us to pay out about $4,000 in
annual interest Our interest account is the mill
stone around our necks, and the sooner we wipe it
out the better off will we be-
