For a Primary Election Law.

Below is an extract from an open letter al
dressed to the republicans of the state by Hon.
Coe /. Crawford. If this appeal to the rank and
file of his party falls on dull cars arousing no
response it should be a cause for grave concern on
the part of every believer in the theory Of
self government.
ssThe way to shake off from the state the in
cubns of corpoarte domination and to wrest the
control of the party from the bosses, lies in the
enactment of a primary election law, coupled with
the abolition of all passes, franks and special favOrs
from pubIic-sorvice corporations, except to EN-.
ploycs.
.'When tho men who are professional and
standing lobbyists, and who accept special retainers
for their services during Legislative sessions in pro-
noting the interests of corporations and monopolies
and preventing the enactment of laws for the
regulation and control of such corporations, can
Join hands with a few party bosses and invoke
the aid of q Iaroe number of federal oficeholders
and hangers on, and, by the use of patronage and
railway passes, can control nominations for the re-
publican party of the state, it is time for the rank
and file to call a halt and to take the matter into
their own hands and enact laws which will prevent
the administration of public affairs from getting iu-
to the hands of unworthy men.
1.-The enactment of a state primary election law
and the abolition of passes will check these tenden-
cies, which are dangerous to good government, and
which may bring disaster to our party"

The Hecla Standard says: s'This (capitaD re-
moyal scheme was i~nstigated more or less from
motives of selfshness more than from any other de-
sire. Let us see about that. The Standard
would like to convey the idea that this removal
project was a thing growing out of Mitchells am
bition for capital honors. The fact is lost sight of
that every time a legislature assemblies there is a
yell developed sentiment among the members ia
voring capital removal. But the members desiring
a more accessible location never had been united
for any place until the last session. When that
session opened the capital removal sentiment had
grown SO strong, SO overwhelming, that prompt
action could no longer be avoided. The seltishness
of the towns desiring the capital location, the SET
ishness the Standard complains of, was SINK in the
general determination to agreee on the most Access
siblea town and settle the question for all time. The
caucus decided for Mitchell and the joint resolution
making provivion Tor submitting the question to
the voters of the state was number one, and was
promptly passed during the early days OF the ses-
sion. Now let us see how strong removal senti-
rnent was, as indicated by the vote on the final
passage of joint resolution. The vote in the senate
was, yeas 80, nays S. The vote in the house was,
yeas 20, nays 16. Come new, dear Stand I'd lei

The Most Talented Company
That Has Visited Salem

The first-class comic opera Olivette
was presented at the Grand Opera
house last night by the Olympia op.
era Company. This matter is men.
toned in this way because no one in
Salem appeared to be aware of the
fact. The house was a frost, being
as much below the average as the
play was above 1t, and that is saying
great deal. II is a beautiful crea-
tion and 1t was presented in an ad.
mirable manner. The situations were
ludicrous, and a delicate vein Of satire
and humor is the thread on which are
strung the colored beads OF song
beauty, grace and humor. It was de
cidedly the best thing put on the
boards in Salem within the past year.
and, while there were few to see and
hear, the company put up as consci
entious a performance as though the
house was crowded.
Miss Kendall is sweet-voiced, grace
full, with keen perception of humor
and artistically natural in her inter
pretatlons She has a freshness and
charm as sweet as the breath Of
spring.
John e. Young had the low comedy
character, and he is simply superb,
beyond all criticism, and only to be
appreciated by being seen. Around
these central figures revolved a bevy
of beautiful chorus girls, sweet Of
voice and fair to look upon.
1t is discouraging TO the menage.
ment of the opera house that a good
performance is never well patron
lied, while Happy Hoollgan," Down
by the River" and that class of heart
rending ASPIRATIONS draw crowded
houses.
Are the latter the kind Of shows
Salem people really want?
II would seem so!
Tonight one of the greatest of all
the standard operas, "Boccaccio," will
be presented, and those who attend
will pass one of the most delightful
evenings possible. Try It and see II
we are not correct And at the same
time demonstrate the fact that Salem
is not really in love with bum shows
and does appreciate good ones.

The Portland Telegram of Friday
evening makes couple of exhibitions
of lack of newspaper sense, which are
very discomitlng to the people of Or.
egon generally. On its first page 1t
heralded in boldest headlines a tor.
nado and cyclone, In which several
persons have narrow escapes" On
the sixth page is an article on the
rainy season in Oregon, which was
undoubtedly prepared by a tender
foot, a neophyte, person who knows
little about Oregon, and less about the
newspaper business. The article as
sured the public that Oregon always
has ten months Of rain annually, and
often more. If a California boomer
had tried to give Oregon black eye,
he could not write more effective rot
than this reporter exaggerated from
the weather bureau records.
After Oregon spends thousands of
dollars a year in advertising its re-
sources and desirable climate, such
newspaper rubbish is very discourag.
ing reading. While 1t is easy to juggle
up any kind of story out of weather
bureau statistics, or any kind of sta
tistics, no newspaper that has the real
interests OF the state at heart Is just
fed in imposing such stun upon It's
readers To those living in Oregon,
1t was only a bit Of attempted pleas
antry and does no harm; but the Tel
egram, fortunately for II, has circu-
lation outside Of the state It is a met

(which suits Oregonians, at least,) will

and loss. It Is useless to expent
money in advertising the resources o.
the state, in the face Of such state
ments Oregon's climate is her great
est drawing card, and is responsible
for all her other resources.
