Iet all aspirants for office come squarely before the people on their merits. Let those who are opposed to a Direct Primary law have the manhood to como ou.t and say so'. Tho people then can pass Judgment on the matter. But a pretense that out of love for your party you want to protect the people against making Improper nominations is so gauzy that a child can see through it.

Is their judgment the best In the world for tho Republican party to follow,? Having been defeated several times trying to name Governors and jbnfted. States Senators for the people of Oregon It would seem to be the part of modesty not to press themselves too far as tho leaders of politi cal thought In Oregon. Theso gentlemen all parade themselves as the saviours and champions of the Republican party in Oregon. Thoy denounce every man who stands for the Direct Primary law1 or Statement No. Ono, or tho Direct Election of U. S. 'Senators, as Demo. eratii, Populists, nnd mercenaries. Hon. J. Tj. Kruse, whose postofflco address Is Sherwood, Routo 3, has Issued a circular to tho -voters of Clackamas county in which ho makes these statements. - It was Simon, Harvey Scott & Co. who defeated Governor Goer In 1002, and elected Chamberlain. They defeated Withycombe In 1906 because ho was for Statement-No. 1; " 1 ttoey defeated Mr. Cako In 1308 hoping thereby to destroy tho direct primary law nnd Statement No. One, in order that tho railroads and other corporations might buy the office of United States Senator again In the legislative assembly for ono of their hired "men. On May 14, 1008, this same group of politicians held so called "Republican Convention" In Portland and selected C. W. Fulton, Geo. H. Williams, A. N. Gilbert, C. G. Huntley, I Ralph E. Williams, C. A. Sehlbredo, Dr. H. W. Coe and Asa B. Thompson as delegates to our Republican National Con vention at Chicago, All of these men had repeatedly voted In' Oregon conventions for the direct elections of U. S. Sen ators by tho people. O. W. Fulton was U. S. Senator and ' he-had voted more than onco for such a resolution In tho legislallvo assembly. In the Oregon campaign of 1908, as , a candldato for the Republican nomination for his own-reelection, Senator Fulton repeatedly declared that ho was in favor of amending the national constitution to provide for 1 direct election of U. S. Senators. Rut in tho national convention the Oregon delegates voted unanimously against tho plank demanding direct election of V. S. Senators by tho people. Every member of ' that delegation now living Is enthusiastically for tho "as sembly convention," This "assembly convention" Idea is that you and I, and tho common voters of the Republican party arc not mentally able to select Ropubllcan candidates for our votes who are fit to hold office. It Is a declaration on tho part of our great raon that we are too weak-minded to soloct tho candidates to be elected. THE I'EOi'IiE ARE DOING THEIR OWN THINKING. O. N.

GANTENBEIN INDULGES IN "BIG SMOKE" PORTLAND JURIST SEES VIS- IONS OF STRUGGLE BETWEEN UNCLE SAM AND THE MIKADO IN CLOUDS OF SMOKE FROM HIS "PIPE" (rntiTKD nils a leased Portland, Ore., July 8. War be tween the United States and Japan within the next decade, was the pre diction ventured by Circuit Judge Gantenbeln today, following a speech delivered at the second annual baa quet of tho "Bolo" Club, an organi zation of Spanish-American war vet erans. Judge Gantenbeln is one of the best known Jurists of Oregon. While addressing the veterans Judgo Gantenbeln gave it as his be lief that war could be looked for be fore the completion of the Panama canal in 1915. He pointed out that Japan has a transport fleet capable of transport ing 200,000 men in a single expedi tion. "With a force like that it would not be necessary for the Japanese to enter our fortified seaports," said Judge Gantenbeln. 'They could steer away from the Columbia river Puget Sound or San Francisco. They could land, say at Grays Harbor,. in Wash ington, then, by establishing a base at Chehalls, they could occupy the coast and subjugate it before we could rush enough troops over the Rocky mountains to fight them. "The Japanese could not Invade the Pacific coast states, however, until they Tiad taken possession of the Hawaiian islands." : To Our Beautiful Cherry City: We invite you to call and inspect our large and complete line of Building Materials. r . , We Handle & I .i Bm 1 .sal-fa. .Hi-irilQ Doors, Windows, Mouldings Lime, Cement, Plaster Sand and Gravel We have on hand a large stock of rough and finished soft yellow Fir Lumber, which we are sure will meet your requirements.

The post of public orator at Ox ford has been held by many eminent men and by one eccentric character the Rev. William Crowe about whom quaint legends still linger. Crowo combined the office with a small Wiltshire benefice, from which he used to trudge on foot to Oxford. Being dressed in leather breeches, and similar unclerlcal attire, ho was occasionally mistaken for a tramp on these marches, and given money by passing , philanthropists. Crowe coolly pocketed the coins, together with the unintentional affront. This unconventional divine was a fine Latin scholar, and bad a ready wit. Asked how he proposed to provide for his largo family out of his scan ty stipend, he replied; "God 'feed eth the young ravens,' and so He will tho young Crowes." Westmin ster Gazette.
