Foreign Wheatfirmer--Betterdemand

PORTLAND, ore, Aug. 12.-Chl-
cago wheat market was erratic around
the opening. Lower figures were
named at the start: some recovery was
made soon after with higher prices
and later the morning session showed
fractional weakness.
Abroad the situation is about as
good as could be desired There is an
aggressive demand for Pacific north
west wheat from all foreign sections.
Some further selling is reported By
exporters but they are not inclined to
make public their transactions.
At interior points the activity in sell
ing is less pronounced although high
er prices are being Offered.
: Coarse grains continue to reflect
growing strength with extreme prices
again offered In the interior for both
oats and barley.
Flour situation is extremely firm at
the latest ADVANCE with some talk of
further rise. The entire wheat pro-
Ducts market is firm. Farina. crack
ed wheat and whole wheat are zoe a
barrel higher Rye flour and rye
meal are 25c barrel up and rolled
oats are up Csc a barrel
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that the wheat market was steadier al
the opening on the late advance in
America, but later eased with expect
alton Of larger shipments and indi-
cations Of easier freights. Spot un-
changed with the exception of winter,
which is nominally ] pence higher
Cargots Manitobas 3 higher, winters
Az higher There is still waiting at
ttude displaXed among traders here,
owing to the belief that the extreme
advance has discontinued a great deal
Of the damage and advices which are
conservative are more re-
assuring from Canada.
The sharp advance resulted in
larger export offers from other than
America, and shipments this week are
expected to increase.

Only a very limited supply of live

Cattle trade at North Portland is

This is another piece Of foolish and

established fact that few men who

The less the average man knows
about thing the more liable he is to
disagree with his fellows over it. This
fact is evidenced by the many thous-
and religious sects. AS religion deals
almost wholly with the things of the
next world, and as no one knows the
slightest thing about the affairs of
the abode Of the departed, there is an
opportunity for an endless variety
of religions, each of which contains
the germs of healthy argument.
Politics is another rich field for ar
gument-what one considers the sal
Walton Of the country, another thinks
will send us to the everlasting bow
vows. Disagreements will not cease
until all mankind has reached state
realms of thought.

MORE INITIATIVES.

The Dispatch has been favored with
copy of Initiative Measure No. %.
an act relating to primary and gen.
eral elections; defining partisan and
non-partisan offices, presidential cleo
tors, authorizing voters to vote for all
elective state, county, municipal OF
precinct offices, except congressional
offices, presidential electors, party
committeeman and municipal offices
in cities having charters or commits
sion form of government, without de-
clarjng their party affiliations: pro-
viding that no party designation or
mark shall appear upon declaration
Of candidacy for such offices or gen
eral election; providing that such
candidates shall be nominated by first
choice votes; and repeating all incon-
sistent acts The petition blanks
We're sent out by the Washington Nom
Partisan League of Seattle The Dis
patch will do nothing to circulate the
petition and should it receive enough
signers to enable the measure to get
a place on the ballot we will do all
we can to defeat it at the polls It is
body blow aimed at all political
parties. The way politics are carried
on in this country parties are as ne
cessary as candidates. The idea has
crept into the minds of some of our
overzealous self-appointed guardians
Of the public veal that to belong to
political party is an acknowledgment
Of perverted mental and moral at
titude, and in their crude way are
trying to uplift their erring brothers
and sisters. Instead of broadening
the scope of the primary law, it should
be more restricted, and every citizen
should be required to announce his
party allegiance when he registers,
and be allowed to vote only in the
party to which he belongs. If he has
not the mental acumen to select a
party to which he can subscribe let
him remain away from the polls on
primary election day. 1t would be
ridiculous for an Odd Fellow to in
sist on voting in a Masonic Lodge of
which he was not a member, or for
presbyterian to try to select the pas
tor of a Methodist church
1t would be very little loss to the
state if the whole primary election
system We're relegated to the scrap
heap and we went back to party con-
ventions. The parties have to be
sponsors for the candidates that es-
say for political office under their
names therefore they should have the
naming of those candidates, and none
other. The millennium is not here and
there is no use trying to delude our
selves into thinking it is.
Two years ago Massachusetts abol-
ished its party enrolment system and
initiated the free-for-all primary sys-
TEN, but on Nov. Z, by vote of 40
600 1t declared the experiment fail
ure and went back to party enroll
ment 1t is all right to try anything
