MY FRIEND PROSPERO, novel by
Henry Harland, author of ''The Cardi-
nails Snuff-box,'. THE Lady Para
mount" etc. Frontispiece by Louis
Loeb. Price $15O Publishers: Nc
Clure, Phillips e Co.. New York.
Henry Harland never introduces you
to dsagreeable people. He doubtless
feels that you meet enough OF them III
this work a-day world of ours, and realizes
that when a man sits down to read
novel he wishes to be introduced to people
who are agreeable, bright and controlled
by high ideals. Besides the charming
hero and heroine in MY Friend Prospero,
whose love is no noble as to make all
the world seem sweeter nothing could
be more delightful than the little girl
Annunzata, the eleven year old girl who
in her devotion to the hero and in read
ing his fortune called him my Friend
Prospero" because he was to have so
much good fortune in life. Good fortune
he did have in abundance and he irradia-
ted happiness about him as the sun gives
life and warmth.
1t is the first novel from the 1904
presses. It is as wholesome as it is
charming-not a character that you do
rot fall in love with and not one senti-
ment or expression that is not pure.
Is the book as good as ''The Cardinals
Sunff Box?' That is hard question to
answer, for that is a rare book. But
the reader will incline to think that this
book is a distinct Improvement over his
great success In "The Cardinals Snuff
Box" and the author shows
growing power in telling story and
in telling it so as to make you think
more of human kind. After all, isn't that
the best of a novel that is worth your
while? In this the first novel of the New
Year, let us hope that 1t is the precursor
os line of novels OF higher tone and
greater purity in the works of fiction
that will come teeming from the press
during 1904

SEES HANDWRITING
ON WALL.

\ week or two after the nomination
of Albert E. Mead TO, governor by the
Tacoma convention at the dictation of
Boss Farrell of Jim Hills railroad, the
Oregonian, which is the organ or the
rival Hartman lines, declared that
Mead could not be elected and called
upon the republican state committee
to pull him down and name some one
who could win. Some influence was
induce it to cease opposing Mead ana
disparag ng his chances, and ever since
the paper has been whistling encour-
agement to the republican funeral pro-
cession as it marched to the political
graveyard 1t has had special CORE
spondents write from various points IN
this state representing that there had
been a wonderful change of sentiment
in favor of the republican state ticket
and that its election was certain But
the truth, as it did last Tuesday when
it said:
j. w Ivey, calling on President
Roosevelt tells him that Oregon and
Washington will each roll up a major
ity of 10000 for the republican ticket.
There is some reason to believe this is
true: but there are obstacles in the
way. In the state of Washington there
is a notable republican detection on
the state ticket. Democrats claim the
state and the result for governor is in
doubt This detection will cost the re-
legislature and it will cost it some
votes on the national ticket"

MACHINES" GOOD AND BAD.

Now that Golden Rule Jones, the
honest and original mayor of Toledo
for so many years, has been called from
earth. the people of that city are be-
ginning TO realize what blessing he
was. Without any organization or any
party. simply by his own strength and
personality. Mr.. Jones was able to
give Toledo a fairly good government
for number Of years, though the To-
cal "machine' usually controlled most
of the city offices. With Jones gone
the citizens who believe in clean gov
eminent suddenly find themselves at
the mercy Of the ringsters. SO they
have organized local good govern
the Objectionable ring all along ire
line.
Jones did not form machine of his
own which could have held all that
his personality gained and taken more
besides. No permanent reform Of any
large Importance will ever be accom-
pliShed in American politics until the
people who believe in good govern
ment have machines or strong perma-
nent organizations of their own. Iso-
lated spasms of reform feeling, which
sweep the rascals out only to let them
creep in again. are scarcely better
than useless. Organization is the
thing. The corrupt politicians must be
met on their own ground by honest
politicians.
1t is the understanding of this fact
conscious or unconscious, that has led
to the formation of such organizations
as the voters leagues which are
springing up in many cities. These
organizations have on their executive
committee men who never lose inter-
est in the publication of politics and

enplov q permanent salaried secretary
or assistant secretary, who Is always
at work, whether the election De just
at hand or just past. Such an orSahl-
cation is really good government ma

to such point that it is as much as

that the good government machine VIII

is not likely that they Will. because

gard for the rights of the people. In
making selection of United states
senators Washington would do we'll to
consider whether Judge Turner should
not be one OF them.
The Spokesman Review believes
that the people of this state will glad
~ seize the opportunity next November
TO employ the services, as governor, of
the distinguished statesman, so warm
ly praised by the Oregonian. Whether
on the bench, or battling for good gov
eminent and the peoples rights in the
constitutional convention, or in the
great forum of the United States SEN
ate, or sitting with Secretary of War
Root and Senator Lodge with the
British commissioners on the Alaska
boundary hearing in London, Judge
Turner has served the public with fl
deity, honor and the highest measure
Of ability.
The Spokesman Review cannot be-
lieve that the people will turn from
such material TO elect as their gov
ernor a man of Mr.. Meads mediocre
ability, shifty, evasive character. and
we'll known subserviency to the rail-
road lobby.

HAVE. YOU Ed?

1t is estimated that over one thou
sand voters in this city have not yet
registered. 1t is likely that a ma jority
of these voters are democrats, as the
republican voters generally registered
last April in order to vote at the hotly
contested party primaries. Let every
democrat register at once. Don't wait
until the last day. for if you wait that
long there is danger that you will
forget it altogether until it is ever
lastingly too late Now is the ac-
cepted time to register. Do it today.
