ss,ooO year. The state built hands some executive mansion while Bailey
 was Governor, and he declared that he could not keep up such a residence on
 the salary allowed him. Then the Lsg- islature thought of way to get around the constitution so 1t apprcprl- ated S2,o0o a year for household ex. penses and the Governor used 1t. Now the Supreme Court decides that the appropriation was clearly unconstitu- tional and that Bailey had no right to use it, although he had taken 1t by advice of the Attorney General His term of office has expired. and he says he will refund the money. So much for trying to dodge a constitution.
 But the experience of Kansas Is not altogether new. It Is not the first State or municipal government that has tried to slip around law or a consti- tutional provision. There are times when such an evasion would be par doEable, almost. but there are other cases whers 1t is we'll that the courts interpose to prevent wrong. Consti. tuition makers are not perfect. but 1t is safest to be governed by their work until 1t can be legally amended.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER t2. 1905.
A CHErsE-PARINa PLAN.

Mir. Richards, Land Commissioner in the Interior Department, has discoy- cred Or evolved a plan to save some money to the government. He thinks there is no need of both Register and Receiver in any of the land offices and that by consolidating the two de- partnnents and letting one officer do it all, with proper clerical assistance, there would be Iii less officials to pay ana an annual saving to the govern nsnt of sso4,7oa.
 This is like pairing an apple. care fuily saving the peel and throwing the apple to the pigs No doubt there are more land offices in some States than are necessary. Oregon has six Ne yada ten, Colorado twelve. and some others have probably more than there is actual need for. It is also true. per haps. that in some of the older States one official could do the work of both wfth proper clerical assistance. We are not sufficiently familiar with the 0nsces and their work to know wheth- CT the number of ofices or officials can be reduced without injury to the ser vice. He may be correct or he may not.
 But suppose his suggestions can be carried out what would be the benefit to the government of saving little more than three hundred thousand dol lars year and scattering ten or twen- ty times that much with far less req son or merit than paying it to these officials? If Congress and the admin istration would try stopping up the bling of the barrel the country could afford the drippings from the spigot but pairing off few dollars of expense in one place and squandering millions in another Is a poor system of econ oniy. we take it.
 But The Portland Oregonian finds a still stronger reason for believing that Congress will not fall in with the Richards idea. It says that the con- solidation of the offices and the drop ping of so many officers would deprive Senators of a fine bunch Of patron age" and therefore they may not be expected to fall in with the idea. To the opposition of Senators would nat. urally be added that of the 117 land oflicials who would be out of jobs, and of the prospective applicants for such positions, all of whom would form a small army of protestants hard to ig- nore. On the whole we don't expect much from Richardss cheese-paring discovery.

If any State in this Union has ever been placed in a more humiliating po- sition than oregon now is we do not remember it. In several respects Ore son is great State. not in population, but in area, resources and possibilities. When Congress meets in December Oregon will have but one member real iy entitled to take his seat in that body One Senator and one Represen- tative have been convicted of offenses which should send them to the peni- tentiary, if 1t does not. The other Representative has been indicted and will doubtless be convicted. The ju- nior Senator appears to be an honest man, and he alone must represent a great State in Congress. It is a great shame to the State and to the people. as we'll as to the country at large, but 1t Is to be hoped that the positions held by these men will not shield them from deserved punishment.

If the South has man avail able as a candidate who commands the confidence of his party in that section because of his demonstrated ability Tn public affairs of today, the Democrats of the North ought to be delighted to make his acquaintance and to support him at the polls. They do not seem to have anything of the Kind among tnefr
 own political assets.
 It is yet too early to waste much time in serious discussion of where the candidate shall come from, or who he
 may be, but The Inter Mountain talks sensibly about it. Democracy has not had such brilliant success with North ern candidates that 1t should feel itself bound to take another one from North of the line. True. Tilden was fairly elected but it benefited our party nothing. Cleveland's two terms were eight years of genuine Democratic con- trol. but they were only one-fifth of the years since the war that the party has been in power. Seymour. Greeley, Hancock. Bryan, Parker. all failed to land and 1t would seem as though the party might come South and have try, for it could not fail worse than it has with the Northern ones. When the proper time comes we should not be surprised if locality plays an im- portant part in selecting the Demo- cratic leader.

The Presidents Southern Trip.

Washington Post.
 President Roosevelt's trip through happiest incidents of his official life, beneficial alike to him and to the peo- pie of the. South. Everywhere along his route there is the keenest interest in his coming. Towns and cities are struggling to obtain as many minutes of his time as they can. His schedule IS Kept somewhat elastic, and it is probable that thousands of people in smaller places who are now disap- pointed will be able to zee and perhaps hear him At Richmond, Raleigh, At Orleans, at least, the President Is ex- pected to deliver addresses which will command the attention of the entire he viii make important port Oe improptu 5pai speeches at other places
 The Southern people are strong ad- mirers of the qualities most conspic- uous in the President They are gen erous enough to recognize them in a political opponent. Some of his great achievements, which rise above all ed in the South as though they had been accomplished by a Southern Dem ocrat. Universal praise throughout the south is accorded to President about peace between Russia and Ja- pan. No section of the country was quicker to extend its congratulations to him, and, it will delight to do him personal honor.
 The Presidents vigorous policy with regard to the Panama canal is spoken of in the South with warm approval.

It will be a peculiar event to tens of thous ands, to be remembered during their lifetime. In Georgia the President will visit the home of his mother, who was so loyal a Southerner that she flung the flag from the window of her home in Philadelphia, during the late unpleasantness. Georgia will claim President Roosevelt as her own.

A TYPICAL ARGUMENT.

The impossibility of getting q fair argument from an extreme protection ist is well illustrated by remark made by Senator Lodge in a speech made at the Massachusetts Republi- can convention. Free raw material" he told them, Ifs nothing In the world l but free trade. because it Is an advo- cacy of partial free trade, and partial | free trade means the complete down. fall of the protective system"
 | That is the usual banality of the high | protectionist. Just mention to them that certain duties are unfair. unjust and unnecessary and every stand-pat
 ter. from the biggest frog in the pool to the smallest will croak or squeal free trader" at you. Lodge knows. as all of them know, that theye is no free trade party in the United States of any power in politics. While It is possible that absolute free trade could be established and maintained between countries, it is certain that the Demo- cratic party is not advocating anything approaching it. It would be impossi- ble to sustain our government without a tariff and the Democrats know it as well as the Republicans do. This cry on the part of stand-pat- ters is the stop thief'' cry of the rob- Der. They know that a fair and just revision of our tariff would interfere with many of the conscienceless blood suckers who are squeezing millions annually out of the people of the Uni ted States. not for the general good but for their own enrichment There are Republicans who know this but they are too cowardly to proclaim 1t or are powerIess to remedy the evil.
 To proclaim that partial free trade means the complete downfall of the protective system" Is not true and Mir Lodge knows it. Under the present tariff quite number of imported arti- cles are admitted free of duty. That is partial free trade, as the Senator knows, but it has not seriously inter- fered with the protective system. If he means that this partial free trade which is advocated by so many Repub- licans would bring about the downfall of the present unjust system of pro- lection for the few 1t would be hailed with delight by all fair-minded people What these stand-patters want Is to discourage all talk or possibility of tariff revision.

National Quarantine Best.

forts at stamping out yellow fever in New Orleans and Pensacola not only demonstrates that the mosquito theory is correct and the only effective way the lax of method of local officials will not, do when strict quarantine and sanitary regulations must be en- forced The marine service of the gen. eral government has accomplished in the large city of New Orleans after the disease had gotten well started and amid an ignorant foreign population offering the best opportunities for its dissemination, what the local author ities at Pensacola under much more favorable conditions have been unable to do. This would seem to indicate quarantine and sanitation in times of peril can be best accomplished under national supervision.

How Editors Get Rich

NeWSpAperd

Here is the secret of success A child Is born in the neighborhooi l. the attending phy- 5ician gets $10. the editor gives the parents" a send-off and gets 30. It Is christened; the minister gets $10, and the editor 800. It grows up and mar winded howery article about the beau. tiful and accomplished bride" the min. ister gets $10 and a piece of cake, and the editor gets 5000. In the course of time 1t dies. and the doctor gets from s25 to $1O0. the minister perhaps gets another $15. the undertaken gets from $50 to $100; the editor publishes a mo- tlce of the death and an obituary two columns long. lodge and society resolu- tions, a lot of poetry and free card of thanks. and gets $0,n00. No wonder so many country editors get rich!

There was evidently significance in the nomination of MT. Hughes by the Republicans of New York as their can didate for Mayor. He is prosecuting the investigations against the life in- surance companies in a way that bids fair to be decidedly unpleasant for some prominent Republicans, and they thought that nominating him for May or would be a good way to shut him off. That he refuses to be thus dis
 posed of is creditable to him and doubtless disconcerting to those who have reason to fear his Investigations

A NEW PRODUCT.

The new process of manufacturing wood alcohol out of sawdust which is reported from France opens the door for the cheap production of an article that Is very largely used in the arts and sciences. It will be especially welcome in the vast timber regions of the great Northwest where millions of toLs of sawdust so to waste every year.. The New York Commercial is authority for the statement that near ly 25 per cent o; the timber that goes into the saw mills of the State of Washington is wasted in sawdust."
 We are not sufficiently informed with regard to the process to know if the dust from all kinds of timber can be used with equal profit, but that is not material. in a general way. The Com mercial. in speaking of the manufac- ture of this spirit says that twenty five gallons Of absolute alcohol can be produced from every ton of this saw dust which is now practically wasted. The Seattle ost-Intefligencer. which has been looking into the matter, be- lieves that the fluid can be manufac- tured and sold at a price which wiz almost or entirely suppiant gasoline and other similar coal products.
 Although wood alcohol is a deadly poison when taken internally it can be applied to so many purposes in tho arts, sciences and various industries that a very cheap production of it will be in the nature of a boon. In a prop erly constructed burner 1t produces a brilliant light, and can be used for heating and cooking. as we'll as for operating motors. and for various oth- CT uses in place of gas and gasoline. If the reports of the French experiment. or are correct there will soon be found use for all the sawdust that is now a nuisance.
