IT WON'T DO.

Wholly regardless of whether or
not they like Oregon's preference for
presidential candidates few people will
sympathize with Attorney General
Crawford's "off hand" opinion that
It won't be necessary for the Oregon
republican delegates to vote for
Roosevelt because he did not get a
majority vote.
1t is plainly the purpose Of the pref
erential law to require the state dele
cation to vote unanimously for that
candidate receiving the highest num-
ber Of votes at the primary election.
That was the Interpretation placed
upon the law prior to the primary
election. Most candidates for dele
gates, If not all, professed their readi-
ness to vote for the popular choice
whoever it might be. 1t may be TAX
en- for granted they will carry out
the popular will regardless OF Mr..
Crawford's "off hand" decision.

But THEY GOT HIM.

That the republican machine of
this county is still in good working
trim is manifest from the results in
the legislative race. The machine
was after $. d. Peterson and it got
him-with a vengeance.
But the machine men did not take
after Peterson because he exposed
their opposition to him. They were
after his scalp long before that time.
Peterson's great sin in their eyes was
that he would not allow them to tell
him how to vote on the speakership
and on certain other matters at the
last legislative sessisn. Peterson
wanted to be a legislator rather than
Il dummy member. If the majority
of the republican voters of this coun-
ty had really understood the situation
they would have renominated him
He deserved another term.

STYLE IN WRITING.

The process of writing consists in
laying a track of words, along which
the author conducts the reader with
more or less success. If the words
are put together neatly and skilfully,
the reader glides along without jolt
or jar; and If the elevations and de-
pressions are arranged with care, so
that monotony may be avoided, the
pleasure of the trip is still further
increased.
Many writer's revel in "apt allitera-
tons artful aid" and take an unfair
advantage of the reader by ceaseless
syllabication promiscuous.y and per-
niciously pandering, with reckless ro-
domontade, to surfeited senses
Others adopt rugged, uneven, jolt
ing method, placing their words in
hard, jagged, staccato rows, hurting
their meaning at you in irritating
crescendos, humping you up and down
making hard edges which jar your
ear, and rasp your consciousness dis
cordantiy, rubbing you crosswise. They
clang at you.

SORROWS OF A FAT MAN.

Victor Herbert, the musician, own.
a six story house up in the Seventies
says the New York correspondent of
tall and narrow, like a well. Mr.. Ru-
perts music room and study occupies
the entire sixth floor, and there is
no elevator. The other day one of
Mr. Herbert's acquaintances wished
to see him on matter of business.
"I'll be here until sharp noon" +"
said Mr.. Herbert Then 1 must go

Mr.. Herbert.
Mr.. Herbert's fat friend began
climbing. He paused at the top of
the first flight to breathe little
while. His pause grew longer and
more impassioned at the top of each
succeeding flight. When he got to
the sixth floor he was just able to
dab a damp hand at Herbert and sit
down in a stuffed chair and begin to
remove the evidences of internal heat
from his steaming face. Mr.. Her

THE REALM Feminine

Multitudes of tiny buttons trim af-
ternoon frocks of charmeuse, surah.
bengaline or taffeta.
In double rows they march down
both edges of a panel and trim the
fronts of yokes, and in a single file
they edge collars and cuffs. When a
designer wishes something new to put
upon a costume she gets up a novel
arrangements in buttons.
The double -draped tunic is a new
term among dressmakers. 1t suggests
that really novel garment has been
invented, whereas. lit is merely the
caught under pannier attempting TO
creep into favor in disguise.
This double-draped tunic or pan
nier has very little fullness at the
waistline owing to the sharp slant of
its cores, but below the knees is shir-
red tightly under cord piping. Be
tween that point and the feet it is
caught under to form a loose, irregu
larly shaped puff which all but con-
ceals the underskirt.
Broad folds of self material trim
the skirts of some of the smartest
models in shantung and tussor-two
silks which have suddenly been reviv-
ed, and are among the most useful
that women can have for between sea-
sons wear.
The first fold actually is a broad
hem turned backward and piped. Put
on in that way, it makes a prettier
finish far the bottom of the skirt. The
next fold must be set on, and above
1,n nfh
come the figure. These skirts are
undraped. In general outline they re-
semble the ones garnished with frills
and ruffles, and go with bodices hav-
ing highcut round necks finished with
a double-plaited net collar.
Plain or flowered taffeta hats arc
among the seasons fascinating crea-
tions
The blazier coat is something very
smart for wearing over crisp linen
frocks or separate tailored skirts and
shirt waists. The need for such a
coat is frequently felt in summer
when mornings are cool and a long
coat is cumbersome. yet until with
the waning of last season, the separ-
ate box coat came back into favor,
there was nothing which quite ans
wered the purpose-that is. nothing
with the blazier's jaunty air. This
season its gay stripes are likely to en-
liven gray days on the sand and flash
through misty mountain mornings
wherever up-to-date girls and women
are vacationing. In the striped tennis
flannels it is rather especially a sport
ing garment, but in plain weaves it
is suitable for all informal times.

A PLEA.

Back the wrinkles you have

They are things I never sought,
But I ask you not to make
Smooth the brow you've lined will

Let my step, once quick, be slow;
If it please you better so,
Leave the frost upon my hair.

Back the warm, glow of my cheek;

To one gift 1 long to cling;
Though you rob me of the rest

to know that the writer has a style.
This does not mean that the style

the reader is primarily interested in

A GOOD INVESTIGATION.

The senate investigation into the
Titanic disaster is proving decidedly
beneficial. Facts of the utmost i'm
portance have already been brought
out that would no doubt have re-
mained hidden had not a prompt in
quiry been started by board equip
ped with great power.
The disclosure that the company
refused to provide its lookouts with
marine glasses looks bad for the COM
pany. 1t is strange that a ship cost.
ing s10,00O,000 could not afford the
very best devices in the way of glass;
es. 1t is also astounding that a great
ship carrying 2300 people had but 20
lifeboats all told. But PERHAPS the
most remarkable thing of all is that
warnings regarding the icebergs
seemingly went unheeded. Either the
officers of the ship regarded the tt
tanic as invincible or. else they were
so bent on making a speedy passage
that they neglected to take due pre-
cautions

MEXICAN REBELS VlCTORS
IN BATTLE WITH FEDERALS
Forces in Four-Day Fight Near Jim
inez-Many Prisoners
Taken,

Mexico City, Mex. A decisive
battle between Mexican federal
troops and rebels in the vicinity Of
Jiminez ended yesterday. This is re-
ported from many sources. These re-
ports, however, are contradictory as to
the result. The Mexican government
has received an official dispatch to
the effect that the rebels were routed,
and President Madero in an interview
last night said it meant the breaking
OF the rebel cause. He said rebel
losses in killed and wounded would
reach 1000 men.
A special dispatch originating at
Torreon sent to FL Impartial at Mex
leo City and bearing evidence of be-
ing authentic, reported that the fed
erals had been defeated and that re-
treating government soldiers were be-
ing modified there.
Both reports contain the fact tha$
Gen. Gonzalez Salas, former minister
Of war, committed suicide after his
command had been routed. In bad
repute, he resigned his portfolio to
take the field, hoping to rehabilitate
himself in the eyes of his country
men.
THE government troops have scored
decisive victory declared President
Madero. Our latest reports show
complete defeat of the rebels near
Corralitos, their losses in dead, wound
ed and captured accounting for 1000
of their men. 1t has been hard won
victory. but it means the breaking of
the rebel power For the rash act Of
Gen. Salas we have only regret. It
was not necessary"

ILLINOIS WILL AVOID
BIG SOFT COAL STRIKE
Operators and Miners Said to Have
Reached Agreement-Three Other
States May Join Pact.

Cleveland, O.-It is believed that
The threatened coal strike in Illinois,
at least, has been aveTted and that all
danger Of a coal shortage in the west
has been removed.
While surface indications show the
coal operators and miners as far apart
as they were a week ago, it is known
the Illinois operators have agreed to
sign new contract with the miners
at an increase in wages.
All the southwest fields will follow
Illinois. Indiana and Iowa will be
forced to fall into line to save their
markets.
Kentucky operators have said they
would agree to any advance granted
by Illinois, so that If a fight comes
in the bituminous coal regions it viii
be confined to Ohio and western
Pennsylvania.
The Illinois miners will receive an
increase of five cents a ton screened
lump, which means three cents a ton
on the run of mine system, which pre-
walls in Illinois. They will get a five
hour day Saturday with five hours
pay. Four other demands pertaining
to local working conditions have been
accepted by the operators. Peace in
the Illinois fields, therefore, is as
sured
The compact between the mine OPP
orators and employees in Illinois was
made by Harry N. Taylor and A. j..
Moorshead, representing the opera
tors, and John H Walker for the
miners. It is being kept secret in
the belief that the interstate confer
ence will result III a disagreement.
On the floor the Illinois operators are
standing pat" with their associates.
