CARELESS.

A woman hurried up to the lost
and found section of the office desk
of the Waldorf-Astoria. She held up
gold mesh handbag.
II saw a woman who had this bag
in her hand sit down in the corri-
DOR" she said. She got up a few
minutes later and went away, leaving
it. l thought she might return, so
kept my eyes on il for while; but
now l have got to go, and as she has
not come back l thought l had better
turn the bag in to you"
A few minutes later another wo-
man came up to the same place and
asked whether anything had been
heard of a feather boa, which she
was sure somebody had stolen. After
a search the clerk produced the boa
and she went out of the hotel.
Fifteen minutes afterward a taxi
cab driver entered and turned in at
the office a feather boa which he
said a fare from the hotel had left in
the cab. To the clerk it looked IA
miliar. He examined it carefully. II
was the same boa that had been
claimed only a quarter of an hour
before.
Only a few minutes had assed
when a third woman rushed up. She
asked the cleark please to tell the
hotel detective or the police or the
newspapers, or somebody, to find a
valuable fur muff which had been
stolen from her. She was positive she
had left it in her room. The clerk
listened attentively to her description.
Then he ducked under the counter
and sOlemnly handed her the muff

she demanded

She signed her name in the receipt

SHALL THE PARTY DIE?

The following able editorial from
the New York World of June 26 ex-
presses sentiments so similar to those
held by the East Oregonian and Ore
gon progressives in general that it is
here reproduced in full:
The situation at Baltimore is seri-
Gus.
On one side is a crooked combina-
ton of corrupt finance and corrupt
politics which is determined to frame
the platform and name the candidate
for president. on the other side is
Mr.. Bryan, who has been thrice
beaten for the presidency and who
is under suspicion of aspiring to a
fourth nomination. The fate of the
party swings between these extremes.
The so-called conservatives in the
convention have made the boss of
Tammany Hall their leader and Tam
many is the most detested political or
ganization in the United States
Back of Tammany Hall are Thomas
F. Ryan, August Belmont and the
horde of predatory corporations that
represent corrupt business in part
nership with corrupt bosses.
The same sordid crew that backed
Judge Parker for temporary chairman
managed his campaign in 1904. AS
a result Judge Parker was the worst
beaten candidate that ever ran for
president on the democratic ticket
He polled 1,2SO,000 fewer votes than
Mr.. Bryan received in 1900, and Mr.
Roosevelt's popular plurality was g.
545,515.
If this crew Is TO control the dem
ocratic nomination for president this
year, democratic victory will turn at
once into democratic disaster. The
democratic party will be eliminated
from the campaign. The democratic
candidate will be practically forgotten
on election day. The campaign will
become a contest between Taft and
Roosevelt. The radical democrats will
rush to Roosevelt in hundreds of
thousands. The conservative demo-
Gratis will be driven to Taft to save
the country from a third term. The
democratic party will again be wreck
ed and stranded.
A democratic ticket dictated by
Thomas F. Ryan and nominated by
Charles F. Murphy in combination
with Tammany's corrupt allies means
more than democratic defeat. It
means democratic suicide. The rank
and file of the democratic party
would prefer Theodore Roosevelt on
an Independent ticket to such down
right and shameless debauchery.
Again The World asserts that the
nomination Of Woodrow Wilson is the
one and sure road to democratic sal

RECEPTION GIVEN
 ID MR. HUBBELL
His Response to Democratic Col leagues Who Had Arranged It.

An amusing incident occurred at the capitol building yesterday morn Ing when Senator J. Lorenzo Hubbell easily the most popular member of either house of the legislature, made his appearance following his return from the state convention at Tucson.
 4 number of the members of both houses had reached the building in advance of MT. Hubbell and had ar ranged for a sure enough reception In the senate chamber a large picture of Theodore Roosevelt had been mounted on an easel and draped with flags. Conspicuously displayed above the picture was the legend, ITO the Victim Belongs the Spoils"
 A speech was demanded as a mat ter of course and MT. Hubbeu was there with the speech. T want to say to my democratic friends" he de- clared, that some of you have been talking about the republican fight at Tucson; but it wasn't fight. it was love feast.

THIS IS SETTLED
 FOR THIS SESSION
There Will he No Purchasing Depart
 ment in any Form.

With the indefinite postponement yesterdav of the Jacobs house bill ere ating state purchasing department, or as the administration calls it, new board of control. the long fight between the two houses of the legislature on this proposition is neaiing it's end. The bill was indefinitely roslT oned by the senate by the vote of 10 tn eight.
 It was thought rrr a time that a basis of compromise might be reached but it now seems that people who held to that view have several other thoughts coming their way, The hos tiity of the senate to the house idea and the certainty that the house will not under any circumstances accept the one-man idea to which the senate has clung throughout and to which it still clings would seem to make all thought of compromise out of tie question.
 Democrats in the house who have opposed the senate and administration idea of turning the affairs of the state over to MT Hunt in their entirety have been outspoken in their opposition to the plan Indeed they have expressed their objections as freely as have the republicans themselves; and that any bill embodying that idea can be passed against their opposition seems out of the question. So it would seem the chances are there will be no bill at all ana that the state will continue under the old law.
