Tho zss of the country has been
pg great sport of the constant pre-
ELECTIONS of Lieutenant Robson that war
between Japan and the United States
is surely coming in the near future. 1t
looks like Hobson has not been SO wild
In his predictions as many imagine
Japan is now demanding that the United
States make a new treaty which will
give to Japanese all the rights and privi-
ieges in our country that are accorded
to the more favored white nations of
Europe And the very fact that the
United States government is now pre-
pairing to establish two fleets In the Pa
cific, one to be known as the Asiatic
Fleet and the other as the Pacific Fleet
looks rather ominous. The latter feet
IS to be the strongest and for the de-
fence of the Pacific coast.

precinct in such primaries win be DEM
ocrats and adherents, in most cases. Of
the Machine.
The measure which Mr.. Byrd has
prepared provides that:
The primary ballots for the several
political parties shall be separate tal-
lots of the same size, but of sufficiently
different colors to be readily dissin-
guishable. These ballots shall be Of
ticial and shall De composed, arranged.
printed and provided in the same man
ner as official election ballots, except as
herein provided.
The ballots for each particular party
shall be kept carefully separated and
not allowed to become mingled.
There shall be a separate poll book
and a separate ballot box provided for
each party taking part in any primary.
"A separate poll book shall be pro-
vided for each party participating in
the primary"
Now all these appliances are to be
provided by the Democratic officials
and handled by them at primaries. This
means unlimited opportunities for fraud
both against the minority faction of
the Democratic party and the Republic
cans. 1t will mean the perpetuation of
Machine rule.
1t strikes us that Mr.. Byrd's bill vio-
iates the State Constitution in that it
VIII destroy the secrecy of the ballot
and destroy the uniformity of the bal
lots. 1t also puts distinguishing mark
or symbol on the ballots-the mark of
sufficiently distinguishing colors."
The secrecy of the ballot provided for
in Sec. q of the State Constitution ap-
Plies to parties as well as candidates.
II Mr.. Byrd's compulsory measure ia
made law it will force every man who
votes in the legalized primary to dis
close for what party he intends to vote.
His selection of ballot of distinguish
ing color, and choice of separate box
to deposit it in, together with the regis
tration of his name on either the Demo-
cratic or Republican poll book will make
known his party choice or affiliations
and entirely destroy the secrecy of the
ballot he casts.
If the anti-machine Democrats con-
sent to the passage of the Byrd comprl-
sorry primary bill they will be worthy of
permanent enslAvement by their pres
emit masters.
The Republicans we should think will
not consent to the enactment or Cd
forcement of such an oqtrseUus law,
but will use all meansu ul or revolu-
tiOnary, to preya

PORTLAND, July 12.-Louis
Jaggar, go years old, a wealthy
commission merchant, is dead, and
bis wife and two friends are seri-
ously injured as n result of an

both shoulder blades broken; Mrs.
G. X. Fones, sprained hip, bruises;
Mrs. A. II. Shreve, badly bruised
on body.
The party, in Jaggar's automo-
bile, were driving rapidly toward
Portland late last night when
Jaggar, who was at the wheel,
suddenly relinquished his hold. 1t
is believed he suffered a stroke
of paralysis.
The big touring car second
later struck a curve, dashed
straight ahead and somersaulted
into a depression.
Another machine, following
close behind, was ditched to pre-
vent following Jaggar's machine
None of the occupants were in
jured in the second car.
A passing automobile was
stopped and the injured extricated
