kon Pacific Commissioner for Doug
las county, arrived in Quincy Thurs

NEWS ITEMS

Mrs. B. F. SaltenbrOck, of Louis
vile, Ky, editor and proprietor 81
the Columbus Magazine, in the in
terest of the Catholic Order n
knights of Columbus, is in the city
this week on a tour of inspection.
Besides gathering data and material
for an article in her publication, she
is also acting as advance agent of a
colony of forty of her eastern friends
who wish to come west.
In conversation with a representa-
tive she stated that in the Quincy
valley she has a found a larger and
finer tract Of level land than any
where she has been in Oregon or
California or other of the western
states, but that the valley is not suf-
ficiently advertised among the east
ern people. On the event of their
coming west some of her friends ask
ed her if they would have to bring
seed potatoes and other stuff, and
whether or no the land would need
any bone dust fertilizer. OF course
this ignorance is not quite excusable,
yet it shows a lack of thorough adj
vertising.
Mrs. Saltenbrock is well pleased
with the country, and mentioned the
fact, and as one way of advertising
stated that we could show up our
many handsome town and country
residences, where in the postcards
now sent out. in poorly executed
work, show up broken streets with
the buildings along them looking
like shacks. She had received one
or two of these cards, and was sur
prised when she came here to find
several two-story buildings.
She will visit Wenatchee, Seattle
and Portland before returning east

Sheriff Webb Describes the Chase.
Sheriff Webb, to World reporter,
describes the chase as follows:
ION Friday morning Deputy Sher-
iff Mcdonald left Coulee City on the
trail of the thieves, going eastward.
Taking a back track they came upon
Mcdonald, who stopped them and
ordered them to throw up their
hands. Putting the whip to their
horses they again started eastward.
Two shots were fired by the deputy
sheriff but without effect.
Organizing a posse Mcdonald took
after the men. For twenty-five miles
they followed the trail. This dis
lance was made in 2 hours and a
half
The tracks of the horses showed
that they had stopped on the bank
of the lake, as if meditating whether
or not TO go in. They never got
off their horses.
The fact that their horses were
tired was probably the one reason
why they were not able to get across.

afraid to use in crossing.

FISH GLOOM.

With the nomination uncertainties out of the way, there seems to be every reason to look forward to better business and financial conditions throughout the country, Only one inharmonious note has been sounded. It comes from the former president of the Illinois Central road. There is no indication of revival" says Stuyvesant Fish, with an ar of gloom. Wealthy persons are not paying cash for their customary expenditures. The railroad net earnings will be small, due to the excessive wages demanded by labor. There are signs of splendid crops, but the farmers will get most of the profits. The army of the unem- ployed will grow. Rich men, who stay in this country, will he heavily bled for campaign contributions. look for a loud chorus If the Hard Times cry"
 Whether Mr F'ishs talk is the re- suit of his recent defeat by the Hara- Hartman forces for i.he head of the Illinois road it is not known, but it seems unfortunate that the after effects of a personal hardship should result in a lack of unanimity, the country over, on the prosperity ques- tion. But MT. Fish offers his own ex- planation. Tn my opinion" he says, '1t Is really harder for persons who have had an income of say s250,000 q year to come down to life on a $50, 900 basis, than for the man who has been earning $15 week to acaustom him self to living on $10 d week" Mir. Fish, evidently, is finding 1t necessary to live on paltry $50,000 year. No wonder life seems blue and gloomy; no wonder he forgets that our national prosperity depends, not so much upon the amount of luxurles hose at New port are enjoying, as upon the fnan- cial success of the farmers. When the farmers get money, and he admits l they will this year, all other kinds of prosperity will follow in due season. The soil is, after all the basis, as any economist will agree, If the laborers are going to have their excessive de-
 nands for wages granted, as MT. Fish says they will, it will be only because

THE CONNECTICUT MAYORS.

The city of New London will today welcome the mayors of the cities of the state, together with those who have been the occupants of that office. They will be entertained by the city of New London and In turn will entertain the city of New London with mature ideas of how best to run municipality.
 Among the subjects tossed about there should be included two of rare Interest. First the enactment of com mon charter law for all cities, and sec- ond, consolidation upon town instead of city basis. Men who have served In the capacity of mayor ought to have some definite convictions In these con nectlons.
 It Is one of the lamentable incidents of our municipal experiments that the moment a man moves out of the mayors office his views lose popular Interest. He Is needed and called for least when he Is wanted most.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The voters of the town of Mansfield are about to be given the opportunity to express their preference for the men whom they would like to have repre- sent the town in the state house Of representatives and in the state senate The proposed use of the direct prlm- ary principle will not bo made under warrant of the law, It will. however, be made in u manner to which the law cannot object, though the voters of the town may decline to participate In the premature election if they see it.
 A circular will be sent by residents Interested In the conservation of free citizenship to every voter in the town In 1t he will be asked to signify five men for representatives in the order of their merit, He will also be asked to name five men for state senators in that district in order of their merit. At specified time the envelope will be opened in the presence of counters rep- resenting each political party and in the presence of as many spectators as care to be present. The circular says In part: This plan will give the party leaders a means of knowing the wish of the voters and 1t will naturally tend to make those having the most choice votes the nominees of the caucuses this fall"
 This is very simple and effective de- vice for ascertainlng the popular choice of the voters of Mansfield. Crotchety folk may say that it Is good plan for. small town like Mansfield, where the expense of the undertaking will be slight, but a doubtful plan for a large center of population Ike New Haven or Hartford. IL would be If the direct primary principle depended upon clrcu- lars mailed to the voters for its sue cess, but 1t Goes not Under the pro- posed law, as reported by the commis- sion. the voters of the state would go to the polls and vote for whom they pleased for any of the offices brought under the operation of the act. The choice of the primary would automatic ally become the choice of his party and a party convention, manipulated by po- ltical bosses, would find itself out Of business. Nor Is there anything new in 1t. It is merely marking back to the simple and effective methods of the Daddies who ascertained first whom the people wanted to do their work for them and then nominated them.
 The Mansfield experiment will be watched with interest by the friends of the direct primary all over the state. One such object lesson Is worth hun dred speeches and as many pamphlets, Should the experiment spread there will be some nervous moments for those who are planning to pocket the general assembly next winter and walk off with special privileges. AS a revival of faith in free institutions the Mans field experiment is worth ten times what 1t will cost in money

 It is unlikely that there Is any sub stantlal basis for the current rumor ot the transfer of the Yale Harvard row. Ing races from New London to Spring field the Massachusetts city was tried and abandoned years ago. Tho Con- nectlcut town has many advantages oyer it's predecessors, and fl a return to Springfield were made they would become more than apparent. There are railways on either banks of the Thames from which an excellent view of the course is obtalnable, and the river Is navlgable for the largest vessels, 80 that excursion steamers, as well as yachts of great draught, may anchor in full view of the contesting boats Be- sides so much tradition has grown up around the New London course that only the overwhelming superiority oi another course would justify change; and such a superiority Springfield can not offer Lastly Yale Is expendlng a considerable sum of money in improv- ing It's Gales Ferry quarters. and is not ant to leave tho Thames under such conditions,

THE FOURTH oLyMPIAD.

Just what the ancient Olympian games used to mean to all Greece no strictly modern can ever fully real i2e, To the Creeks the games were 0 very Important factor in their lives, By them time was reckoned. From one series of games to another was an olympiad, period of four years, and an event was said to have hap pened in this or that year or this or that olympiad. The olymplan games typi- fled heroism and horo-worshlp, love of the aesthetic, of beauty, of strength and of manliness; they typIhed man. liness, pan-hellenic unity love itself, and even religion The very name of the games came to them from the high seat of their gods, whence came to them. they believed, everything of worth In life. Those who attended were inviolate, for to outrage the trust of contestant or spectator at this semi-relIgious observance were not less serious matter than to att tack one who sought protection at the shrine of one of particular god or goddess, Around the olyn oian games were weaved multitude of myths and legends which made up no inconsld- erable part of the national life of Greece itself.
 And so the games come down to us. The present ones, being held at Sheppard's Bush, near London, are the fourth in the modern series. The year 1908 is the first in the fourth olympiad of the modern series. The games have necessarily been robbed of much of their significance by their chronological transplanting. Gone !s the religious element Gone. too. Is all of that soft-colored, semi-poetic 's'Nhbt NNA't Sp Nileii biAtll itlN VI iiit helene. At the London stadium there will not be the element of the god Cupid to any appreciable extent But there will still be Apollo. the god of the love of manly beauty, and there will be the modern essence of Atalanta, the fleet runner, There will be ex- amples of patriotism and national de- votion aplenty. And, above all. better than with the old Greek olympics, the games will tend, not for the unifcation of small section of the Me6iterran- can coast-dwelers, but for the unlfl- cation of a world of powers through their love of what is manly and healthful May the best team win, in- deed; but may that best team be the American.

The gentleman who. as temporary chairman of the prohibition national convention, said something about the ladies as opponents of prohibition and showed that the men are drinking less and the women more than a decade ago and that the woman's suffrage states are among the most lax on the liquor question, has lost the permanent chairmanship because of what he has said.
