Dodging a policeman, the brute took a

yet arrived to act.
That Germany would take advantage of Russian
successes if they came is hardly to be doubted Sh,
would absorb the remaining northern provinces OF
China precisely as Russia will absorb Manchuria, il
Japan, the only country apparently willing to fight
should be crippled and helpless as the result of the
war with Russia
Great Britain and the United States have the same
commercial interests to be injured by the division of
China as has Japan. American and British trade
would be absolutely excluded from any Chinese
province in which Germany and Russia obtain a
commanding position. The same trade would be ex-
cluded from Manchuria, if Russia succeeds in re-
tanning it, as soon as Russian merchants were able
to handle the trade. Neither country has any idea
in colonial expansion beyond exploiting colonies for
the benefit of home trade and excluding all other ma
tions from any share in the colonial trade France
shares these same ideas.
If Russia is successful in the present war, and if
Germany co-operates with her in such an Asatc
policy as these two countries would be liable to adopt
for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, the dream of Ameri-
commercial supremacy in eastern Asia will have
to be abandoned and We must look to see Chinese
markets closed to us ultimately.
All this is based upon the suppostion that Russia
will be successful in the present war, prospect
which, at the present time looks remote. The prize
of China is big one, however, and Germany might
be willing to come to the assistance of Russia and
would do so, doubtless if assured that the United
States and Great Britain would keep aloof and calm
ly permit the destruction of Japan and the dismem-
berment of China. But would the United States and

NO LIGHT TO SEE.

The Salem Statesman seems determined to mis-
direct primary law and unfairly quotes from this
paper to suit its convenience The Astoran has
insisted and still stoutly insists that the law can
result advantageously only to active partisans of
democratic and republican faith. There are thou
sands of democrats and republicans in Oregon who
can not afford to publicly announce their. political
views. We believe that even the constitutional au-
thority who presides the destinies of Salem
contemporary will agree that the founders of the
republic intended that voters politics should
be matter of public record, to subject him to the
wes of his employer or any other person who might
of the ballot is sacred right of the American ct-
zen, but Oregon's direct primary law abrogates it.
The Statesman reaches some pipe-dream conclu-
sons that are highly amusing, deducing, for in
stance, from The Astorians assertion that the new
law was framed Z" for republicans and democrats 4"
that democrats can get into the republicans camp,
by process that would also land the independent
there. What nonsense! The democrat may re-
nounce allegiance to his own party and participate
in republican primaries and the independent may
falsely declare himself to be republican and exer-
else similar privilege To be democrat does not
imply, as our Salem friend seems to have concluded
that must always vote for all democratic candi-
dates for office. democrat has quite as much right
to vote for an occasional republican as a republican
has to vote for an occasional demOcrat-even for
gubernatOral candidates! If all democrats and all
republicans could be depended upon to vote the
straight ticket, and the independents, pOpulists,
socialists, prohibitionists etc. could be convinced
that they inferior citizens and not entitled to
privileges exercised by members of the two great
parties, the direct primary law might be excusable
although even then the question would be raised,
Why should cities and counties be subjected to the
expense Of two elections when one election would
better serve the ends Of the people?

same time that the law has disqualified practically
