President Loubet has begun the sixth
year Of his administration, and bids
fair to complete the full constitutional
term of seven years. only one French
president, MacMahon, endured for an
entire septennate, and in his case the
fear OF what might befall If the then
rather unstable equilibrium should be
disturbed was more influential to main
tain him in power than was his admin
istrative ability. M. Loubet owes his
lease Of power soley to his personal
qualities. Curiously enough, though
the most democratic of all presidents Of
the third republic, M. Loubet has been
entertained by and has in turn enter
tained more high potentates than any
previous chief of state in France, mon
archial or republican.

AN OREGON HERO

In all times and in all climes, from
centuries before the Christian era to
the present, and from the ancient
Greece to Fair California. the tensest
string in the gamut of human emotions
has been the one attuned to vibrate to
the deeds of hero. says the San Fran
cisco Call. In the hurry and scurry of
life it may sometimes seem as though
seIflshness were the dominant and that
self-sacrifice were dead in the world;
that the feelings that the Greeks had
in generating their heroes, even to the
point Of regarding them as demi-gods,
is old-fashioned and vanished from the
world. But the age of heroes has not
passed away, and at times we are re-
minded Of that fact by the brave deed
OF some hero still among US.
There is no man or woman who win
rot feel the blood pulse quicker upon
reading of the death of the young ath-
lete. SunHner Smith, near Portland,
Ore, on last Tuesday afternoon. The
passengers of the steamer America
were suddenly startled by the shout
from one of their number that there's
a young girl fallen overheard and
can't swim" Quick came the answer
from young Smith, Il can," and forth
with he leaped into the Willamette
river. where Oza Brown, a 12-year- old
girl was struggling for her life.
Smith held the girl aloft until she was
saved, but before the rescuers could
reach him he was caught by the
treacherous cramp and gave his life In
sacrifice to duty.
The call to him was tragic and sud-
den. hut gallantly he met it, counting !,
not the cost. and was baptized a hero |
In the murky waters Of the Willamette. |
None among us can be more noble
or make a greater sacrifice than that |
made by one who in the first flush Of
athletic manhood freely dies that a
helpless girl may live. The name that |
the steamer bore, America, to uphold
which so many heroes have nobly died,
s1ll be honored by none more worthy
than this young Oregoiian, and though
frorn the pitiless tide. swollen by spring
freshets, Sumner Smiths body may
never be recovered, all will pause in
honest admiration at the thought that
he gave up his life that another might

Restricting immigration.

On the ground that the scheme would
give the American people better OPP
portunity to "assimilate" foreign immi-
grants, Representative Adams has in
troduced bill at Washington, provids-
ing that not more than $4,000 aliens
from any single nation shall be ad-
mitted to the United States in any one
year, says the New York Commercial.
How he happened to hit on $4,000 as
the proper limit does not appear. Why
$4,000 instead of $4,000 or 100000?
1t is noticeable that if such law had
been in effect last year it would have
shut out 10000 immigrants from Italy
126,OOO from Austria Hungary and &c.
900 from Russia, or about $4,000 out Of
total of 100000. Immigrants from
other nations would not have been af-
fected. Had such law been in oper-
alton still earlier, it would probably
have resulted in excluding from our
shores thousands of German immi-
grants and thousands Of immigrants
from Great Britain English, Irish
Scotch and Welsh-and should the
Adams bill be passed it might readily
have this effect in the future Only
last year nearly 10000 immigrants
landed here from Great Britain.
There has never been any great
trouble about the "assimilation" of inn
migrants in this country provided they
came with sufficient means to support
themselves for a spell No one hears
any objection to immigrants from
Germany, France, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark Ireland and Scotland, for the
reason that most of them arrive here
with some money in their pockets. For
that matter, most of the Italian irnmi-
grants are readily "assimilated," be-
cause, If they don't happen to have
much money when they land, they are

industrious and thrifty enough to take
care of themselves very soon thereafter.
They quickly turn their hand to any,
thing that promises to yield them a
living.
Instad of helping to "assimilate" for
Immigrants, the passage Of the Adams
bill would be likely to have the opposite
effect. II intending immigrants of ma
tions like Russia. italy, and Austria
Hungary knew that a law OF this kind
was in force they would make haste 10
be included in the limited $4,000 and, as
a consequence, many of them would
come here before they were financially
prepared to do so. They would arrive
with thinner purses than they already
do, relying upon chance to help them
out. 1t would be case Of FIRST come

make matters worse than they are.

First Voters.

An important factor that will have to
be reckoned with in the coming presi-
Dental campaign is the great army Of
first voters that will take part in the
contest. Ten years ago nearly all Of
these coming voters-at least those
who are Americana -born--were mere
striplings. and consequently the cam
paign issues of 1892 or even those Of
1896 win seem to them like ancient his
tory So far as these issues may play
a part in the pending contest, they
must be presented anew to such voters
and. as these. questions win be mingled
with questions of later date, 1t is inn
possible to predict with assurance
whatever what the effect may be on the
minds of this young electorate.
What the addition to the total num-
Der of voters in the country is likely to
be this year is very hard to conjecture,
for the reason that between 1896 and
1900, so far as the election returns
show, there was practically no gain in
the number of electors. From 1876 to
1880 there was gain of 100000; from
1880 to 1884, gain of 100000; from
1884 to 1888, a gain of 100000; from
1888 to 1892, gain of 100000 and from
1892 to 1896. a gain Of 100000. Be
tween 1876 and 1896 the popular vote
for presidential electors increased 65
per cent or from 100000 10 1890, 000
Apparently owing to the fact that a
vast multitude Of voters did not go 10
the polls at all in 1900, the total popular
vote in that year was only 40, 900 great
er than it was in 1885, and, If anything
like a full vote is polled next fall. there
should be an enormous and unprece-
dented increase In the total vote. In
the eight years ended with November.
1895, this vote increased 100000 and.
as the population of the country has
been steadily expanding since 1896, the
total vote this year should show far
greater increase than that Of 1SSs-96. |
A thing that renders it extremely diff |
ficult to forecast what the increase in
this vote may be is the fact that an
exceptionally large number Of immi-
grants have landed on our shores in re-
cent years, In the eight years ended
with 1903 over $500 900 foreign-b born
persons were added to our population,
and a considerable proportion Of these
persons is now naturalized, and they
will take part in the next election.
What the proportion may be, however,
t is impossible to judge.
1t is none to early for political lead
RS and managers to grasp the fact
hat first voters" are likely to con-
;tltute a NOSE important factor in the
campaign than ever be-
ore and, as a consequence, that they
ire likely 10 prove greater unknown
lnantity than has ever been the case
Evidently both of the great
parties will need to do vast
amount of missionary work If they
hore for victory next November.
