0REGoN'S PRIMARY LAW.

Frederick W. Mulkey, who was a can.
didate in the primary election in Oregon
for nomination as United States senator
and who is on visit to this city, ha:
given the Post -Intelligencer some inter-
esting facts about the workings OF the
now law in his state. 1t is quite evi.
dent that Mr.. Mulkey is not an unquali
fed admirer of the new law. He criti-
cizeS it sharply in some respects, but he
also said: 1T seems to have annihilat-
ed completely the party boss and there
seems no manner or way in which politi-
cal manipulation can be successfully re-
sorted to in primary election"
If this stood alone as the sole argu-
ment which could be made in favor OF
the direct primary, it should be suffic-
lent to mass the great majority of the
people behind the demand for its enact
ment. A system which annihilates the
boss and makes for good services rendered
the people. not personal services render
ed the boss the effective method of ad-
vancing the political fortunes of the in
dividual office holder or office seeker,
guarantees that the public will be in
finitely better served in the future than
in the past.
If the direct primary annihilates the
party boss system and closes the door to
political trickery and manipulation
through which to control nominations,
which are substantially equivalent to
elections, the state which adopts the
direct primary is to see a cleaner era in
politics and higher order of public
service than it has ever witnessed in
the past. 1t is certain to have in office
public servants who recognize their ac-
countability is to the people, not to

THE WORD OF A FRIEND.

Richard Harding Davis, the we'll
known novelist, comes to the rescue Of
the good name of his dead friend, Stan
ford White, the victim of Harry Thaw's
murderous gun, lately in New York
Mr.. Davis declares the early accounts
sent out defaming Whites name and
record, were inspired lies, and utterly
without foundation. That Stanford
White was a clean and wholesome man,
with the highest and purest motives, and
led life that was simply irreproach-
able, from any viewpoint honorably
taken. This mean much. Men of the
stamp Of Mr.. Davis are not given to
making false moves, nor statements,
even to spare friend who is palpablg
unworthy the effort. And in confrma-
tion of his loyal defense, it may be
noticed that the vicious stories scat
tered broadcast Immediately after the
murder and dealing with Mr.. Whites
alleged licentious and ignoble courses of
life, have ceased utterly since the stall
wart and magnamimous vindication in
augurated by this noted and thoroughly
respected author and gentleman. Hard
ing Davis speaks by the card when he
speaks in this wise, and he will be duly
credited everywhere.

AST0RIA'S PLAIN DUTY.

1t is Astoria's plain and simple duty
to put herself in shape for the proper
reception and entertainment of the
travelling public, before another summer
solstice shall swing upon her. She must
have new and modern hotel, wbomso-
ever shall build it. She is the only city
of her size in the country so badly
equipped in this particular, and the

There are hundreds of people who would
make this city summer habitat,

courageous and uneompromisiag enemies
of the vicious and lewd in society, in
the whole nation Nothing escapes him j;
be is at the head of great department
of the police bureau Of New York, and
his only aim in life is to safeguard the
decency of the young. He is a master
detective and one of the most notable
and successful officers, in his line, in the
world. He has just made raid on one
of the art galleries of New York for ex-
hibiting too many and too suggestive
pictures of the nude, and while be may
be getting bit erotehety and super
censorious in his old days. wen bet a
free copy of the Astorian, he is right
in his premise. He has mighty few
blunders to his account in the long drift
of years in which he has figured as the
arch-enemy of the nasty; and the pre-
sumption is safe one that he is strict
ly within the limits Of his authority in
the present instance. His name is a
terror to the corrupt and licentious all
over the land.

WHAT'S THE USE WORRYING.

Microbes in everything you eat and
drink, and if you eat and drink microbes
you will surely die and if you don't eat
and drink you will still more surely die
Bound to surely die in any event, you
had better pay no more attention to
microbes than your grand daddies did
They ate and drank everything they
wanted and they lived long and pros
pered knowing nothing whatever about
microbes and yet it is said they
lived eight hundred years, eating and
drinking microbes all the time. Eat
and drink anything you want, microbes
and all, and you will live until you die
and that is just what old Methuselah
did-he lived until he died.
