PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1906. The people will try to make it plain That one term's enough for Chamber- lain. There's a very able, good and bright man, For Dunbar's office, Frank T. Wright- man. If all of his name were of his kith There might be a chance for Hood River Smith. Still, everything is not quite clear, After all your explaining, ex-Governor Geer. Much like a frayed and wheezy bel- lows, When he gets into action, is Candidate Ellis. A puller for Portland they say he'd make, That rustling clubman, H. M. Cake. No better man himself has offered For attorney general than A. M. Crawford. As on April 20 the vote he cons, A shadow, we fear, will encompass Johns. A man who stands for the state's best weal. That rusling clubman, H. M. Cake. No better man himself has offered For attorney general than A. M. Crawford. As on April 20 the vote he cons, A shadow, we fear, will encompass Johns. A man who stands for the state's best weal, As thousands know, is George A. Steel. One man whose hide will be nicely tanned Is that fake lawyer, John L. Rand. Whether in frost or under a hot sun, Many a man will vote for Watson. With dignity, and yet quite gally, Will run the young Supreme Judge, He is doing quite well, is Printer Whitney. As unchangeable as the spots of a leopard, For right and progress stands George H. Shepherd. Like a tired burro, with a heavy pack 'n' er. Is the race being made by Billy Lachner. A lot of Portlanders would exclaim, "O, 'ell!" Like a tired burro, with a heavy pack 'n' er, Is the race being made by Billy Lach- ner. A lot of Portlanders would exclaim, "O, 'ell!" If the choice for senator should fall to Lowell. Out will the Irish democrats sally To cast their votes for M. J. Malley. A rustling man, and one adroit. His opponents will find in Ralph M. Hoyt. Out will the Irish democrats sally To cast their votes for M. J. Malley. A rustling man, and one adroit, His opponents will find in Ralph M. Hoyt. "You'll find it's as no myth I come," Quietly remarks Professor Withy- combe. Another good man can't open the latch. So will stay in the bank—it's Cashier Gatch. "You may rhyme me with news, or views, or booze. But I'll get there the same," says Walter Tooze. "The supreme judgeship is what I'm seekin'. And I expect to get it," says Judge Eakin. "That short term isn't very bulky. But I have it corralled," says F. W. Mulkey. "If those other candidates were really well bred, They'd notice me," says Mr. Sehlbrede, "To see I'm handsome you don't need a lens on, And I'll do you handsome, too," says Frank L. Benson. "I'd wear the gubernatorial crown If the woman could vote," says Harvey Brown. The people would have no cause for sorrow If they should elect Mr. Robert G. Morrow. As good a candidate as you've lately seen Is the lawyer-soldier, Colonel Gantenbein. We fear that there'll be a lot of dogers Of the name for sheriff of Barber Rogers. In troubled dreams he's seen and heard That the next sheriff's name won't be Word. You've got some brains and lots of brawn, clilman Vaughn. Not many voters would greatly mourn If nobody voted for Jonathan Bourne. The next county judge, after the brush. Will be a good man, whose first name is Rush. He has a good brain, good heart and good tongue; But his politics is against him— Oglesby Young. The campaign would be dull unless in it was heard The biennial chirp of Nathan H.

SHEPHERD, Candidate for Nomination for Representative in Congress New Age "Deep Water to the Deep Sea" "Make Dirt Fly at Panama and Save 12,000 Miles to Market" REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES APRIL 20 Hereafter the Chinese will be excluded much more gently than before. The match trust is not furnishing the light that is being thrown upon its operations. The pace is so rapid in New York that a life sentence for homicide only averages about ten years. The Thaw family still refuses to live up to its cognomen in its treatment of the chorus girl bride that belongs to it. The number of persons who appear never to have heard of the ten commandments is unpleasantly large just now. President Hadley admits that he couldn't pass the entrance examinations at Yale. Is he too light for the team? King Christian left an estate valued at only $250,000. But he raised a large family, nearly all of whom are provided with thrones. The mysterious thing about it is that in spite of all these wholesale adulterations in food supplies the average length of human life continues to increase. The revised version might be made to read: "Spare the rod and save your life." A 7-year-old Kentucky boy shot and killed his mother because she spanked him. To develop style, says a critic, young authors should write poetry. Good advice, provided the poetry is not published. Otherwise, think of what it might develop in the readers. We hear much talk about putting the Bible in the schools. If the sermons published in the newspapers may be taken as a guide the Bible should be put back in the pulpit first. The New York medicine company which the government is prosecuting for fraud because it advertised that its nostrums would bring the dead to life may have merely, through accident, got its statement backward. The next Department of Commerce official who goes to Chicago to get chummy with the beef-trust magnates will probably be shown the new Federal building and introduced to a newspaper man who will interview him on how he likes Chicago. Every one who has watched a drill of infantry remembers the thump of musket butts at the command, "Halt!" British military authorities have discovered that although the old-fashioned musket stood this banging, the new fine rifles are too delicate for such clumsy handling; the mechanism gets out of order and keeps the repair shops busy. There is no need of any order in the manual which maltreats a gun, and no doubt many governments will revise the drills. Alexander and Hyde are out of the Equitable. McCurdy and the McCurdy clan are out of the New York Mutual. McCall has gone out of the New York Life. So has George W. Perkins. A year ago how impossible this seemed! Graft and the Big Three seemed inseparable. How cockey all the grafters were about it! Do you remember Perkins' self-righteous sermon about himself as the "honest apprentice," or McCurdy's "missionary work," or McCall's brazen defense of campaign contributions, or Hyde's hallucination that he owned the Equitable? They are all gone. Public ity did it. The general-stores building in the navy yard at Portsmouth, New Hampshire—the yard is really in Kittery, Malne—is to be adorned with a bronze tablet bearing this inscription: "In this building, at the initiative of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, was held the Peace Conference between the Envoys of Russia and Japan, and on September 5th, 1905, at 8:47 p. m., was signed the Treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the war between the two empires." Antiquarians of the year 2005 will not have to delve into the records to discover in which of the buildings of the yard the conference was held. Nothing more practical and sensible has been thought of in this country for a long time than the army cooking school maintained by the government at Fort Riley for enlisted soldiers. The waste of food in the army through preparation that is careless—or worse—is something fearful. To correct this wanton extravagance is only rational economy. The appearance of reform in army cooking is encouraging. Let us hope that it will extend to civil life. When it is demonstrated how good beans and bacon and coffee and other army fare can be made by proper attention to their preparation the sin of spoiling by the wholesale a great variety of more expensive food may become apparent. "Anyone who works for a living in Chicago is a sucker. A good hard luck story will get you more money in a day than you can earn honestly in a week." So says Harry Reed, "the prince of beggars." Reed has got a good living for years playing easy suckers, and, as he imagines, without work- ing. But the chances are that to catch his suckers he has worked harder than many an honest man who has achieved high success. It is harder to frame a plausible lie than it is to tell the truth. It is harder successfully to appeal to people's generosity than to their business sense. And he who gets a dollar for nothing in this world has to exert enough ingenuity and effort to have earned it twice over. The faker, binding his arm to his body and displaying an appealing empty sleeve, stands all day and far into the night in all kinds of weather for a charitable pittance which an honest workingman at congenial and wholesome occupation would desplise as patry pay. The higher grade beggar, whose ingenuity, good address and knowledge of human nature secure for him a good income, might with the same qualities and half the work make twice the money. It is the same with crime. There is no more arduous and dangerous occupation, or one calling for more ingenuity and skill, than that of burglary. Though the opportunities are unlimited, the known burglar who are rich are precious scarce. The old scamp in the "Vicar of Wakefield," who was incessantly lying and trickling and cheating his honest neighbor, wore himself out and died in a debtors' prison, while the honest neighbor, though constantly robbed, steadily prospered and took life easy. Only fiction? It is a page from everyday life. If everyone were to follow Beggar Reed's plan the sources of supply would soon be exhausted. Trickery and thieving never brought a single dollar's worth of value into existence. All of the actual wealth in the world has been created by honesty. Not long ago a boy employed in a chair factory in Boston discovered fire in the packing room. He immediately raised an alarm, and then set about the rescue of the panic-striken girls in the building, several of whom he helped to safety; but the flames spread so rapidly that one man lost his life, and a number of other persons were saved only by heroic work on the part of the firemen. Investigation, which was begun immediately, soon traced the origin of the fire to the very boy who had discovered it. He had thrown a lighted match into a pile of newly varnished chairs. When pressed for his reason, he declared that it was the desire to be known as hero. He had meant no harm, but had expected to be able to put out the fire before it spread, and so gain credit with his employers and the public. Such cases are so common that they lead to serious questions as to the cause. The tendency of cheap newspapers to make heroesm out of the most ordinary incidents; the false views of life presented in dime novels and some more pretentious books, and especially the melodramas of the cheap theaters—all these are contributing causes; and as might be expected, they are more potent in the city than in the country. The fact of the matter is—and nearly every parent is forced sooner or later to recognize it—a boy's mind is like a steam boiler. It may appear fair on the outside, and yet, if it is constantly supplied with the foul waters of moral or intellectual turpitude, corrosion goes on unchecked and unseen. When the shell becomes thin enough the explosion must come; and the wreck, as in the case in point, may involve other lives than that of the boy himself and his immediate family. There is no way to safeguard boilers except by frequent and careful inspection. So, too, there is nothing which will do for a boy what constant and rigid oversight by his parents will accomplish. Such oversight may be regarded as old-fashioned, but it will never be obsolete. PARALLEL IN WOMEN'S LIVES. They Attended Same Church Many Years, but Never Met. Dying within a day of each other, Mrs. Ana E. Peterson and Mrs. Christine Schaefer, two pioneer women of the city, unconsciously rounded a most striking parallel in life history, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Born eighty-six years ago in Germany, both came to this country when young and located in St. Louis, where each had lived continuously since. They were both married soon after arriving here and each was the mother of a large family. The descendants of both have entered into the business life of the city and won for themselves a place in the esteem of their fellow citizens. Both of the aged women have lived in the same part of the city, yet they never met. Attending the same place of worship, they were unknown to each other. Their children discovered the remarkable similarity in the lives of the two women after their deaths. Mrs. Schaefer lacked but three months of being 86 years old. She was born in Gross, Rallenbach, Germany, and when 12 years of age was brought by her parents to this city. She had lived here ever since coming to St. Louis. When a young girl she was married to William Newman, and one daughter by that union survives. Knowledge "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing," said the man who quotes. "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum, "especially when it's something that a queer publisher happens to know about you."—Washington Star. Not Looking for It. "See here, when are you going to pay me that money you owe me?" "My dear fellow, how can I tell? I'm not borrowing trouble."—Baltimore American. Ever notice how easily the heart-broken girl cements the pieces together and awaits another smash? THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Thos. Blyth, Pre Lyman Fargo, Vice Pres The Blyth & Fargo Co.

Many a man would be more of a man if he thought less of what men think. Any study of the life of our Lord ought to lead to making Him Lord of our lives. There are many providences for which our philosophies can find no pigeon-hole. The Bible is to be valued by the inspiration it gives rather than by its information. After, "What must I do to be saved?" comes the great question, "What can I do to serve?" Many a man thinks he has done his duty for the world because he has taken a course in sociology. The feast of the sermon always produces spiritual indigestion unless followed by religious exercise. You must not think that the Lord has given you His rod because you feel like rapping all His children. Will the people who are content with being good in spots be satisfied with heaven in small installments? No preacher ever got a good sermon from above until he was willing to throw away his own brilliant production. If the Master was as particular about the people He would work with as we are this world would soon go to pieces. Troubles come through the things we let slip through our lips rather than by those that slip through our fingers. There are too many preachers who seem to think that the way to get the people to glory is to consign them to perdition. "LIE-GERY" EQUALS FORGERY. New Word Colined for False Impersonation at the Telephone. "There ought to be a new word coined to serve as a running mate to the word forgery," said a Kansas City business man. "Since the use of the telephone has obviated the necessity of much writing, a substitute for forgery, which I call forgery, has come into general use. This is the system: The telephone rings. I answer. Some one says: This is the Tater and Onion Grocery Company. We have an account with John Smith, who says he works for you. He refused to settle the first of the month, saying that it was not his payday. If this is true we will extend his credit until payday. How about it? "Thinking I am doing John Smith a favor, I answer: "That is true. Smith works for me. He will not receive his pay until Wednesday." "Now it turns out that the person who pretended to be the Tater and Onion Grocery Company was instead a collection attorney who wished to find out for sure where John Smith worked and when he got his pay so he could garnishe his wages to collect. If the attorney had told who he was and what he wanted I would not have given him the information. To represent yourself as another person over the 'phone is really as bad as signing another person's name. The one is forgery, the other 'le-gery.' It is an evil that is spreading everywhere."—Kansas City Times. Nailing His Coffin. Seeing that the original of Sherlock Holmes is a Scotsman, the police of the cannle country ought to be inspired with ability to solve the mystery surrounding the dreadful crime recently committed in their midst. It is the man for the minute of detail that brings off the coup in a case of this sort. Some years ago an aged woman was murdered near Carlisle for the sake of the little sum of money in her possession. There was no clue beyond a footprint marked in a pool of congealed blood. The notable feature of this print took the form of two peculiar indentations near the tie. When the clue got abroad, and when the police pounced upon an engine driver whom they suspected, they found that there had been withdrawn from the toe of one of the boots two nails, the positions of which corresponded with the marks left in the impression. They searched until they found those two nails hidden beneath newly turned earth. And upon these two nails was woven a chain of evidence which hanged the man, who confessed that the sentence was just—London Graphite.

The New Age does not wish to accuse anybody of insincerity, yet it cannot avoid the conclusion that a good many candidates and others who are verbally and ostensibly supporting the direct nomination primary law really haven't a great deal of confidence in it, and hope, if not expect, that after its trial this spring it will break down and be repealed or ignored hereafter. The thing, the idea, is just now popular. Something of the sort was demanded by the people, and perhaps to please the people rather than to say what they really think, some political aspirants and some editors of party papers do not express their real thoughts, or at least do not express them fully and with entire candor. The New Age is a supporter of this law, of the idea which prompted it, and of its purpose, and would say nothing if it could to hinder its operation in full accordance with the intent and hopes of its most sanguine friends, yet we can see some breakers ahead, and if we can see them plainly, so can others, even more clearly. Is it not best honestly and plainly to point out and keep an eye on these breakers, and to bring the ship through, even with some loss and damage, so that it can if possible be rendered more seaworthy in 1908, than to say that everything is all just right and that there will be no kind of trouble at all? We think the new vessel will weather the approaching storm, and when seasoned, and perhaps made over in spots, will be an enduring craft. We think we ought not and that we will not go back to the old system, but that the people are going to take a larger and larger hand directly in the choosing of their officers, including United States senator, and in making laws; yet we will not disguise the fact that events may so shape themselves this spring that it will be difficult to prevent a reversion in practice, if not by statute, to the old methods. We have mentioned a good-sized rock or two heretofore, but these may be avoided, providing no independent republican candidates for important offices pop up, and providing there is no serious bolting. But let us suppose a case. Suppose, for instance, a Portland man was chosen for senator, another for representative, and perhaps one or two others for state offices. Would not all the rest of the state, and particularly Eastern Oregon, if nobody were elected from that part of the state, arise in arms against the law, and say that while in theory it might be good, in practice it was bad? It is frequently said that the representative is conceded to Eastern Oregon; so it would be, in a convention; but under this law nobody can concede anything to any section or to anybody. Portland has two, practically three, candidates for the senate—for Mr. Smith, everywhere above The Dalles, is counted a Portland man—and Eastern Oregon has one candidate. Portland voters say: "Judge Lowell is all right, individually, but we want a Portland man for senator; Eastern Oregon can have the representative." But nobody can prevent a Portland man from running for representative, and in fact one is doing so, and a far better man for the position than any one of the three Eastern Oregon candidates. Rand is not trusted by anybody, or at least not by many; Lachner is a weak stick, and Ellis—well, it would look as if Oregon was mighty scarce of congressional timber if it sent Ellis back to congress, to sit like a bump on a log or move around like an ancient drayhorse in a fog. So there is the d lemma. If we all vote for Shepherd, the best man, and for a Portland man for senator, what will Eastern Oregon say about the law—and do to it when they have the chance? Under the circumstances the logical thing would seem to be to vote for Lowell and Shepherd, but we know that many, if not most, will not do that. Then if, as is probable, Withycombe should be elected governor, Steel or Hoyt treasurer, Whitney or Dunway state printer, and Crawford attorney general, and Eastern Oregon should get nothing—say, wouldn't there be fireworks up there? And wouldn't every member of the legislature from that part of the state be for a repeal of the law? And who could blame them? Of course the word may be passed around quietly: "Vote for Ellis"—for we imagine that Rand and Lachner are not seriously considered—but everybody is going to do as he pleases, and there are no bosses to give orders, and Shepherd will get a tremendous big vote in Portland, as he might not if Eastern Oregon had brought out a first-class candidate. Who in Portland wants to vote for such a big, inert stick as Ellis? Up the Willamette valley there is no such dilemma, because Portland is not in the First congressional district, yet there are mutterings all the way south of Woodburn—in Salem, Albany, Eugene, Roseburg, and over on Coos bay, that Portland is getting too much and is likely under the new law to get still more, and if it does the Willamette valley and Southern Oregon would be likely to stand with Eastern Oregon rather than with Portland against the law—though if Withycombe or Geer, Whitney, Gatch or Wrightman, and Crawford, should be elected, these portions of the state would have "no kick coming." Then it is to be observed, finally, that the ex-bosses, a good many of the would-be leaders, those who are active and adepts in playing the game of politics, in Portland, are probably at heart against the law. They won't say so, of course, but if there should be a movement to repeal it or so to amend it as practically to nullify it next winter, they would secretly, if not openly, help that movement along, and some of them could manage to give it a good strong boost, too. So we say that there are breakers ahead, and it behooves friends of the law to be prepared for them, and if they cannot steer clear of them, to be prepared to save the vessel in as good shape as possible. JUDGE WATSON'S PLATFORM. The platform on which Judge E. B. Watson is making his campaign for the nomination for the United States senatorship from this state is broad, comprehensive and patriotic. Instead of resorting to the use of high-sounding platitudes in his declaration of policy, he says in plain English that his official course, if elected to that honorable and onerous position, will first be directed in the interest of the common people. He will use his utmost effort to enforce the provisions in the Oregon Railroad and Wagon Road subsidy land grants in favor of settlers and purchasers. It is well known to the people of Oregon that this important matter has heretofore been outrageously "overlooked" by our national congress. The people have pleaded in vain for some show of interest in their behalf in the matter of compelling those who own and control these vast land grants to respect the conditions thereof; but they have received no consolation from the national congress. New legislation on that subject is imperative, but none has so far been proposed. These extensive holdings of valuable lands in the very heart of the rich domain of the state have been permitted to lie untouched by the hand of progress and development, while those who own them as a gift are being enriched by the development of the territory about them, or are preventing the development of that territory by inaction. Claimants under the land laws of the government are thus being robbed of the profit of their toll and time by this outrageous dog-in-the-manger policy of those who control these grants of public domain. Judge Watson, if THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON VOTE FOR elected, would urge legislation to remedy this evil condition. Probably no one in the state could do more to encourage the improvement of our rivers and harbors than Mr. Watson. He is thoroughly conversant with these conditions and the urgent necessity of hurrying along this class of work in congress. His tariff-revision policy is in perfect harmony with that of President Roosevelt, and is the only reasonable position to be taken at this time by our national lawmakers. The improvement of the parcels post service, as suggested by Judge Watson, is of far greater importance than many who have not given the matter especial thought would be willing to believe at first glance. The rural districts, particularly, are much interested in this matter. When Judge Watson says that he will oppose further domination by corporations and trusts in politics and legislation, he strikes a popular chord in the heart of every true American citizen. Mr. Watson's ideas on this subject are so well known that little reference need to be made to them at this time. The only people on the continent who do not agree with him are VOTE VAN C. L. Candidate for the Republican N the Primary Election the corporations and trusts and the hangers-on supported by them, including in the latter class many members of the national congress. Judge Watson is also an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt's proposed policy of dealing with the railroads by summary rate legislation. In short, the Judge's position on all important public questions with which the national congress must deal is strongly fortified by volumes of facts and figures obtainable by anybody and in it he is supported by public opinion in every district of the state. That Judge E. B. Watson ought to receive the nomination there is no doubt, considering the matter from a popular point of view; and that he will receive it there now appears to be little question. CIRCUIT JUDGES It is sometimes said, or thought, that a circuit judge, once elected, is entitled to be re-elected as long as he lives. He seems to think, and a good many other people seem to agree with him, that nobody else should "butt in," and that the office should be considered his as a matter of course until he is separated from it by death. There is some good, sound basis for this idea, as a general rule, but there may be exceptions to it. If a judge becomes in any considerable measure incapacitated from any cause, or if he becomes "too big" for the office, and shows that he feels that he is accountable to nobody, then it is well for the people to take the matter in hand and make a change. We are not herein intimating that either of these cases are presented here now in the judges of departments number two and number four of the circuit court. Both the occupants of --- these positions have served as circuit judges a good many years, and are well known. Judge Sears was seriously ill during the past year, and it was then supposed would not seek a re-election. Whether he has fully recovered his health we do not know—we hope so—and that if elected he will be able to perform the duties of the office, but if not, he should give way to a man of physical as well as mental vigor. He is a very admirable man, with a multitude of warm friends, yet it might not be wise to renominate and re-elect him. Others know about that far better than we. There are quite a good many lawyers and others, as The New Age casually learns, who think it might be well to have some new blood on the circuit bench in both these departments, who say more vigor is needed there, and who think that in some cases judges, after a long period of service, fall into a sort of routine or rut, and that it would be to the public advantage to let them go back to practice a while and put younger and fresher men in their places. We do not pretend to be a judge of this matter, either generally or in these particular cases, but only re- DUNNING nomination for County Coroner at on April 20, 1906 mark that if the majority of Republican voters of this county and district should think such a change would be best, it would seem that no better lawyers could be nominated for these positions than Mr. R. G. Morrow and Col. C. W. Gantenbein. They are both especially and peculiarly fitted for these positions, and if they should secure the nominations the people could be sure that they had not made a change for the worse, however worthy the present incumbents. COUNTY JUDGE. We believe it is generally conceded that, so far as ability and industry in attending to the duties of his office are concerned, when he has been in the city and not otherwise engaged in his private affairs, Judge Webster has made, as a rule, a very good county judge—though there have been a few cases in which his actions have been severely criticised. We suppose few Scandinavians, for instance, will inclined to vote for him, after he allowed one of them to be practically buncoed out of a large portion of a ridiculously small sum received from the O. W. & P. company as damages for the death of his brother. And we imagine that common laborers generally, though never jailbirds and not in sympathy with crime, are not pleased at the manifest partiality shown by the county judge to Guard Johnson. But, aside from these matters, the more serious criticism to be made of Judge Webster is that, though elected and paid to serve the people steadily and continuously, he has been away for long stretches of time up in Southeastern Oregon, on several occasions. He was there on private professional, and no doubt somewhat Important business, for which we presume he was well paid. At the same time, the people of Multnomah county were paying him about $10 a day to attend to their business, and he was necessarily neglecting it. When a man accepts this office and takes the required oath, he is supposed and expected to be on hand to attend to the county's business, and there is now enough of it to keep a man pretty busy. No county judge can now absent himself from this city for any considerable length of time without imposing upon the people who have business to transact in his court or office. He is paid a salary, we believe, of $3,600 a year, not a very large salary, it is true, but there are good, capable, trustworthy lawyers who are willing to take the office on that salary and attend to its duties continuously or at least without any prolonged absences on private affairs. One such man is Mr. R. R. Glitner, a lawyer of many years' experience, of good repute, of large experience in the probate as well as other courts, and so it seems that it would be advisable to make a change. AN EFFICIENT PUBLIC OFFICIAL In this day of official irregularities and of caustic criticism of public men it is, indeed, a source of pleasure to the average newspaper scribe to find occasion to turn aside voluntarily from the acerbities of routine discussion of politicians and their troubles to commend the conduct of a truly honest and efficient public servant; a man who is thoroughly imbued with a keen sense of duty to the people whom he serves in an official capacity and who respects his oath of office as a more binding obligation than party pledge or command. Mr. Douglas W. Taylor, city engineer, who was appointed to this position some months ago by Mayor Lane, is the official to whom we refer. No matter what his party's troubles may be, and unperplexed by the worries of the professional campaigner, City Engineer Taylor pursues the tenor of his way with an eye single to the interests of the common people. His work is done promptly by honest assistants, under the direction of a man who understands his business and religiously respects his obligation. No unnecessary expense is incurred; no political debts are being paid through his department or city work; no shady disbursement or public monies is made through his order or command; no labor is expended at the municipality's expense unless absolutely necessary. In short, Mr. Taylor is an ideal public official who attends strictly to his own business for the people and who never permits his way to be obstructed by political washouts or the debris of party embarrassment. No complaint is heard from the taxpayers about the cost of the work performed in the city engineer's office. No expert accountants are needed to keep his books. The items of expense incurred are verified by the work performed. This is certainly an unusual record in an important official position—a place, by the way, in which much opportunity is offered for peculation at the expense of the taxpayer. As before observed, it is a pleasure to note the work of a truly honest, competent and careful public official among so many who scarcely merit so much commendation. Mr. Taylor's official conduct is an example worthy to be followed by others. THE PORTLAND & SEATTLE. The Portland & Seattle railroad, really a Columbia river arm of the Northern Pacific, is treating this city very generously. Notwithstanding every possible obstacle that could be thrown in its way by the Harriman railroad, notwithstanding an adverse decision of the circuit court, and notwithstanding apparent apathy or indifference if not opposition on the part of some people in authority, it is pursuing its plans and work to come into this city and in doing so yields even to the extent of consenting to an upper deck on its great Swan island bridge, the better part of a mile long, to accommodate the public, though this upper highway will be a nuisance to the railroad. The Seattle & Northern will be worth millions of dollars to this city and the tributary country, and yet asked no bonus; it will spend millions here and hereabouts, and yet a good many people do not seem to appreciate what immense and inestimable advantage the coming of this road will be to Portland and this region. Except for this road, the great packing plants that are coming, and that will spend millions and be worth millions to this city, would not have located here, and many other manufactories and other industries will start up here on this account. Other transcontinental railroads will come here because the Northern Pacific did, making this the leading Pacific port. The powerful influence of these railroads will deepen the channel of the Columbia and build the jetty. It is largely because of Hill's move into Portland that the Willamette valley electric roads will be built. The advent of the Northern Pacific into this city will cause its population to increase twice as fast as it would otherwise. Did Harriman and his crowd ever do anything to benefit Portland, except what they had to do to benefit themselves? All the people of this city ought to hurrah exultantly and thankfully for James J. Hill, the Seattle & Northern and the Northern Pacific railroads, and give them anything in reason that they want. And when this road is finally completed, there ought to be held here the biggest celebration ever seen in this city. DR. WITHYCOMBE One of the principal reasons why we think Dr. Withycombe ought to run well in the primaries, and will run well, is the fact that he has never been a politician, though always interested in public affairs, and so has allied himself particularly with neither Republican faction, and has no enemies in either. The other candidates, having been active in politics, have necessarily been factionists to some extent, and so will encounter more or less opposition from the opposing faction, for while the Republican feud does not rage as fiercely as it has for years past, the wounds are not all healed yet, and it is unreasonable to suppose that in the case of Mr. Johns, and more particularly of Mr. Geer, there will be no "knifing" done. But Dr. Withycombe one faction as well as the other can support. He has been busy teaching and farming, and has taken no hand in these quarrels, but voting and otherwise acting in the matter of politics as a straight, consistent Republican. As governor, he would have "no friends to reward, no enemies to punish," no handicap on account of past actions or affiliations. While he is the candidate of no class or of the people of no particular occupation as such, Dr. Withycombe should be especially strong among the farmers, and it is to be remembered that they are by far the most numerous "class"—for want of a better term—in the state, and the ones having in the aggregate the greatest interest in the government or administration. But this need not, and should not, detract from Dr. Withycombe's strength in the cities. He is an educated, scholarly man, a good business man, a man who understands and is interested in commercial affairs, a gentleman in all senses of the word. So we still predict that Dr. Withycombe will be nominated, and adhere to the opinion that his nomination will be the best one that could be made. GROWING IN FAVOR The more Judge E. B. Watson's candidacy for the senate is considered by the Republican voters of this city, where he has lived so long, and by those of the state generally, especially of Southern Oregon, where he formerly lived, and of the Willamette valley, where he is well known, the better it looks to them. Judge Watson is a man who will grow in favor on investigation and thought. Somehow he sizes up to what is properly conceived as the senatorial standard better than any other man yet mentioned. He has ability, integrity, experience, dignity, high character, familiarity with Oregon's conditions and needs—what more could be desired? Office, 435, Second St., cor. Ash, Rooms 1 and 2, Portland, Oregon. EDITORIAL COLORED MEN, REGISTER. The New Age hopes that all the colored men of this city will register—every one of them—and don't put it off till the last day or last week. We guess you are mostly republicans, and in some instances the republican candidates may need your votes. And if any of you are democrats, we are very sure your party candidates will need them. The New Age is not going to dictate or even to suggest to colored men how they should vote, except as it points out and comments on men here and there, for their and others' information, but it does urge them to vote both at the primaries and at the general election, and to prepare to do so by registering. Think of the privilege you enjoy in this respect that your brethren down South do not. There colored voters are practically disfranchised. If any of them are allowed to vote it is only because the democratic authorities know that their votes can make no difference, will really count for nothing. But the 700 or 800 colored voters of Portland, if most of them go one way as to any candidate—and while The New Age is a republican paper it believes in exercising a little independence once in a while, just to let the politicians know we are alive—can turn the scale. They undoubtedly did it in a notable instance four years ago, though they might not do the same again. At any rate, register, and vote at the primaries. If you are a republican, inform yourself about the several candidates for each office and vote at the primaries for those who suit you best. Improve your opportunities. Enjoy your privileges. Don't be clams. Register! FOR THE LEGISLATURE. The people of this city and county are rapidly becoming more and more disposed to treat the matter of electing public officials purely as a business affair, for that is, in truth, what it is. One of the most recent suggestions of this wise tendency on the part of the local public is found in the fact that Mr. R. M. Townsend, who, for 18 years, has been prominently and most successfully connected with the business department of the Portland General Electric Co. in this city, has been induced by his friends to become a candidate for the nomination for the legislature. Mr. Townsend has earned the reputation of being one the best, most faithful and successful business men in the community. He is a man of strictest integrity, unquestioned honor and public-spirited in a loyal degree. He would render most excellent service to the people as a representative in the legislature. We need more men of the Townsend stamp in our law-making bodies. Mr. Townsend is not a professional politician, but he is one of the most popular men whom the Republicans could nominate for the legislature from this county. His friends have good reason to hope that he will receive the nomination. Although in the race with popular opponents, Hon. Frank T. Wrightman, of Marion county, is meeting with gratifying success as a candidate for the nomination for secretary of state. His party and personal friends are numerous throughout the entire state, and they are rendering him and his party excellent service in their vigorous campaign in Mr. Wrightman's behalf. Mr Wrightman would make an ideal and most useful secretary of state. We need a man of his eminent ability and progressiveness in that important office at this time. Hon. Geo. A. Steele, candidate for the Republican nomination for state treasurer, has good reason to be very hopeful over the promise of success ```markdown ``` in that contest. He is one of the best known and most popular men in the state, and his candidacy is meeting with enthusiastic favor in every district of the commonwealth. Hon. J. R. Whitney, who is a candidate to succeed himself in the office of state printer, is gaining rapidly over his opponents all over the state. Mr. Whitney has made a most conservative and faithful public official, and has fully earned the honor of reelection. His conduct of the business of that responsible office has been most economical throughout. He has introduced many substantial reforms in the work of the office, notwithstanding the apparent contrary opinion of his opponents. He ought to receive the nomination for a second term—and he no doubt will. The people owe it to themselves, as well as to him, to re-elect Mr. Whitney. Colonel C. U. Gantenbein, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for a circuit judgeship in this county, is making very gratifying progress in his campaign. He receives encouragement from bench and bar alike, as well as from hosts of personal and professional friends all over the district. He will make an able and dignified jurist. His education and professional training eminently qualify him to serve in that capacity with great honor. Hon. R. G. Morrow, candidate for the nomination for the position of circuit judge in Department No. 2, is pleasing his many staunch friends with the excellent manner in which he is progressing with his campaign. He is proving a very strong candidate with all classes of people. He is one of the ablest attorneys in the city, and enjoys the confidence of a large clientage and a wide circle of personal admirers. He is fitted, both by education and legal training, to render eminent service as a jurist. Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Establishment of the Tuskegee Institute. OUR CHICAGO LETTER March 16, 1906. At a meeting of the National Defense league held on last Saturday evening, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, There has been for a long time in this city a secret and systematic effort made on the part of some of the officials in some of the public schools of this city to discriminate against the colored children who are attending these schools, simply and wholly on account of race prejudice and color, and Whereas, The information has come to us that for some time that James H. Brayton, the principal of the Raymond public school, on Wabash avenue, near Thirty-seventh street, in this city, has, upon false and manu- factured charges made by himself and by others who he could get to make up such false charges, suspended and compelled some of the colored children to leave the school, and Whereas, This malicious and unwarranted action and conduct on the part of James H. Brayton, the principal of the Raymond school, has on numberless times and occasions, been reported to Mr. E. G. Cooley, the general superintendent, and Miss Ella C. Sullivan, the district superintendent, of the public schools of Chicago, and Whereas, From all the facts that we have now at hand indicates and justifies up in believing and stating that the secret movement to discriminate against the colored children in the public schools in Chicago and to heap upon them injustice upon injustice and abuse after abuse and wrong after wrong, is strongly encouraged and endorsed, and no doubt suggested, by Mr. Cooley and Miss Sullivan, the superintendents of the board of education of Chicago, as they have time after time treated the reports made in this direction with indifference, and have whitewashed the whole investigation and charges that have been made against J. H. Brayton and others. Therefore, be it Resolved, That this National Defense league of the United States here in session do hereby now denounce J. H. Brayton as a man wholly unworthy to fill the position of principal of the public schools of this city, and we protest against his retention as principal of the Raymond school.

Mountains, lakes, the Sound and the city itself form one magnificent panorama not found anywhere else on earth. 9th—The hotel lobby, parlors, Turkish room, etc., are exquisite, and form a continuation of comfort and luxury not often found in hotels. 10th—A Dutch grill has recently been added, where service may be had at all hours. 11th—The dining room cannot be excelled. Breakfast and lunch are served a la carte, at most reasonable prices, and a table d' hote dinner for $1.00 is pronounced by all to be above criticism. 12th—Rates—Extremely reasonable.

The Washington stands alone as the most charming and attractive hotel west of New York. The following people have stopped at the Washington during the past year and have given unstated praise and declared that in many respects it excels any other hotel on the continent: President Theodore Roosevelt, Wm. H. Moody, Secretary of the Navy; Gov. Odell, of New York; Baron Rothschild, Mr. Smith, of the DeBeers Diamond Mines, South Africa; Hon. Cornellus N. Bliss, Ex-Secretary of Interior; Hon. C. S.

Hood's Sarsaparilla We are often asked, Why does Hood's Sarsaparilla effect so many cures of cases that seem to be almost beyond the reach of medicine? The answer is this, that this great medicine is enabled by the peculiarity of its formula to produce results unapproached by any other medicine, this peculiarity consisting in the balanced combination of the very best specifics for the blood, liver, kidneys, stomach, and bowels, namely, for the blood, Sarsaparilla, Stillingia, Yellow Dock; for the liver, Mandrake, Dandelion; for the kidneys, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, Pipsissewa; for the stomach, Gentian, Wild Cherry Bark, Bitter Orange Peel; for the bowels, Senna, Mandrake and Dandelion.

When it is hoisted by an army, the order has gone forth that "no quarter" will be given, everything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as opposing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hideous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the life. It is no respecter of persons; no matter how pure the blood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is covered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and frequently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering. S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up anything great remedy the symptoms all pass away and no sign of the disease is ever seen again; nor is there left the least trace to be handed down to posterity.

Blood Poison is indeed a "black flag." Mercury and Potash, so often used, never can cure the trouble.

"Wise woman as she was," he said, "Mrs. Dodge considered organized charity rather cold. She believed in the charity spirit, which, she said, was best fostered by the direct personal contact of recipient and giver. Hence she never refused a beggar. And, defending herself from attacks one day, she narrated a conversation she once overheard between two Maryland tramps, or 'peach plucks.' These peach plucks, as they lay under a tree on a superb afternoon, philosophized. 'Bill,' said said the first, 'why is it that poor people is always willin' to help us, while rich folks always turns us down?' The other, with a mirthful laugh, replied: 'Them that don't mind givin' things away is the ones that stays poor.'"—Philadelphia Bulletin. The American Chameleon. The American chameleon, a small lizard (Anolis carolinensis), inhabits various parts of the Southern United States.

The little animal is perfectly harmless to higher forms of life, is often kept as a pet, and has been worn attached to a chain as an ornament. The toes are provided with adhesive pads, which enable the lizard to run upon smooth vertical surfaces—St. Nicholas. First Engines Were Funny. First Engines Were Funny. If our modern railway engines had the same power to laugh that they have to scream they might, as you children say, "nearly die" laughing over the way our first railway engines looked. Little, queerly shaped, puny things they were. The "Stourbridge Lion" did not weigh one-twenty-fifth part of the weight of an engine of today, and it looked as if people might well hesitate about risking their lives behind it. It was first used at Honesdale, in Pennsylvania, and it ran on wooden rails with a thin layer of iron on them. People gathered from near and from far that 8th of August in the year 1829, when the little British lion of iron and steel was to make its first run. The wiseacres shook their heads and prophesied all sorts of probable disasters, and people said that "nothing on earth" could tempt them to ride across the bridge spanning the Lackawaxen River on "that thing." But the little lion went safely over the bridge and over the eight or nine miles of track, which was the entire length of this line of railroad—St. Nicholas.
