If the independent voter has no moral or legal
right to vote at a republican or democratic primary
Jas the Oregonian AYERS, then he has no moral or
legal right to vote for republican or democratic
candidates after they are nominated. If neither the
Almighty nor the law delegated to the independent
voter the right to participate in the selection of
party candidates. then neither the Almighty nor the
law give him the right to participate in the election
which follows their nomination. Either an Amer
lean citizen has or has not the right to vote We are
instructed that party organization demands that
the status of the voter be altered but the American
people will rise against any such scheme. The Ore
gon direct primary law was framed up by re
formers" who proceeded upon the hypothesis that
all voters are crooks-that every man who goes to
the polls primary day does for the purpose of
trickery" If all men are dishonest we do not need
the direct primary law or any other law. The de-
cree that republican shall not vote for democratic
candidates for nomination, or that democrats shall
not vote for republican aspirants for place on the
ticket or that the Independent voter, or the proh-
btionist the socialist, or the populist shall not
vote at all, is monstrous.

EFFICIENCY OF THE SUBMARINE.

As a factor to be regarded seriously in modern
naval warfare the steel submarine boat Of today.
with its many improvements, is little more efficient
than its hand-manipulated wooden prototype OF
years ago. The recent predicament of the POrpoise
off Newport and resultant investigation by the navy
department, should throw some light upon the vol
ume Of the so-called "little sea terrors." Unless
radical improvements made in their general con-
structon. repetitons Of similar or worse accidents
may be looked for in the future among boats of this
type.
OF the many explanations made in regard to the
failure of the Porpoise to submerge to the prede-
termined and required depth, instead of pitching
bodily to the bottom, the most reasonable was the
difficulty in closing the sea-cocks against tremen-
dous water pressure after the requisite amount of
water for ballastng had been admitted. The pres
sure upon the vave-face would be one pound in
addition to the atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds
for every 231 feet of water. The sea-cocks are in
the bottom Of the boat and are operated by levers
inside
In 60 feet of water where the pressure against the
closing Of the valve would be Al pounds, one man
would have to exert considerable force, and at a
depth of 120 feet the strength of two men would be
required If the boat were to descend into greater
depths it would be almost impossible to close these
valves, and the force required to operate the mad
equate mechanical contrvance used for that pur-
pose would be more than likely to break the valve
stem or rod.
However at depth exceeding 200 feet the boat
subjected to coapsng pressure Of over 100 pounds
to the square inch, would either burst in plate OF
plates and take in enough water to drown the crew
Therefore, it may be understood that go to 80 feet
of water is the safe limit for submarine boat nav.

EARNINGS OF THE CARRIERS.

According to an authentic authority, the net earn
pcs Of 1876 railroad companies in the United States
have fallen off in the first half of the current cal
endar year. as compared with the corresponding
period of last year, about $25OO0OOO. This is de
crease of nearly 1111a per cent
The fact however is not at all surprising From
1894 to 1902 inclusive, the net earnings OF the rail-
roads of this country continuously increased. Al
though the mileage of these roads, during this period
increased only about $4,000 miles, or about IL per
cent, their net earnings increased nearly $2iOOOO-
600, or almost rs per cent. There was not year,
in this interval that these earnings did not show an
advance over the earnings of the preceding year In
1898. they amounted to nearly $52 100000 more
than they did in 1897; in 1900, they amounted to
$6O,OO0000 more than they did in 1899, and be-
tween 1900 and 1902 they rose from $4S3,OO0,OOO
tc $560,0000O0 gain of $77,000,000. These were
years of exceptional prosperity, not only for rail
roads but for all sorts of business and now that
there is some sackening in trade and industry, it is
only natural that railroad earnings should fall off
somewhat
It is to be remembered, however, that the six
months of the current calendar year already men
toned do not include the cargo moving period
big crop of cotton and of corn is already assured
and there is little doubt that there will be oleraby
fair crop of wheat; and the breat bulk of these
staples will be moved between now and the end Of
December This can hardly fail to have its effect
in increased railroad earnings, and, hence the rail-
road earnings for the first half of the present year
afford no safe gauge of what they will be for the
completed year.
Should these crops realize present expectations,
there is every reason to believe that they will give
a sharp fllp not only to the transportation bus
mess, but to industry and trade in general and ad-
vices from all parts of the country indicate that
business men are making preparations on the basis
of this promising outlook.

Mortgages can only be sure that their security is good if taxes are paid.

We are the only distillers in this country selling direct to consumers. Like every success, we have imitators who "claim' to be distillers. They are lot distillers and have no connection with a distillery. For proof, you need not take our word. Just see govern nlent reports! They are simply dealers, and can doctor their Whiskey as much as they like and call it any age for unfortunately the government does not control dealers as it does distillers Now. these dealers are in business for profit, so when they offer to 12-year- old wIiskey for the same or less money than we, as distillers, can sell 7-year- old, the inference is plain. Their whis- key is not the, age they claim and is adulterated and watered. The cheaper they sell, the more water and adulter- ation you get. Beware of our imitators.
 If you want honest whiskey, direct from our own distillery, with all it's original richness and flavor, carrying a United States registered distiller's guarantee of purity and age and saving you the dealers enormous profits, then accept the offer we make you else where in this paper. It is backed by a company with a capital of $500, 100000 paid in full, the proud reputation of S6 years of continuous success, and over a quarter of a million satisfied custom CTS, so you run no risk.

 Last evening in the Lefingwen build ing there was large assembly of dem ocrsts who gathered at the invitation of the town, committee to elect an ad- vlsory committee to assist and advise with the town committee. It was an ad- journed meeting from August 26, at which time the following committee of five men was appointed to report the names of fifteen men, one from each ward, to comprise the advisory conn mittee, James P. Martin Albert F. Welles, Eugene R. Hubbard. William H. Macdonald and Philip Hugo.
 The meeting was called to order shortly after o'clock by ex-Judge Levi N. Blydenburgh, the chairman. The minutes of the meeting of August 26 were read and approved. The commit- tee of five reported that it had seemed best to them to enlarge the committee to eighteen, consisting of one from each ward and three additional members chosen without reference to their ward. The report of the committee was unan- imously accepted. The meeting then proceeded to select the men who should form this committee, and the names of the eighteen men proposed in the com mittee's report were unanimously en- dorsed. The committee chosen are: William A.. Wright, Cornelius T. Dris- coll, John H. Courtney, Thomas Max we'll, Henry Bretzfelder, Henry Farrell, Eugene R Hubbard, Conrad Weiss, John J. Hogan, Thomas I. Kinney, Philip Hugo, John H. Barlow, James T. Moran, Seth N. Langley, Patrick Har- kihs, Hobart L. Hotchkiss, Edward H. Farren, Sidney l.. Kelsey.
 After instructing the secretary to in form the town committee that in re- sponse to its invitation tn emeeting had chosen an advisory committee, the meeting adjourned.

 New York. Aug, S1.-In the stock market to-day price movements were rather irregular and business was In lighter volume Those traders who were not really bearing seemed inclined to reduce their commitments for ya- |riety Of reasons. These included the heaviness of internationals in London, where operations dwindlew to normal proportions pending definite news of the great conflict in the far5east. The wheat situation was again watched with unusual interest, and the unsettled condition of the cotton market was viewed with disfavor. Nevertheless, stocks were not offered with any con siderable freedom and there was an ab- sence of the previous day's liquidation. Following the Initial decline there was early buying of Reading, Erie and St. Paul at improved prices, the first nam ed advancing on a relative heavy vol- tune of trading to a new high record.
