HON. FRED W. MULKEY,
United States Senator-elect From
Oregon.
It is often said, and with some de
gree of truth, that the best men are
seldom selected for political honors.
The cause of this is chiefly due to the
old bhoss system, which placed the
naming of candidates in the hands of
one man, who generally used such pow
er for the furtherance of his own sei
fish purposes in the bargain and sale
of offices. The result is that under con
ditions of this kind few high-minded,
clean men would aspire for political
preferment. j
Happily, however, the people of Ore
gon in their wisdom have done away
with the political boss by the direct
primary law, whose first trial has given
the people most gratifying results.
In the nomination and election of
Hon. Fred W. Mulkey for United
States senator, the Republican party of
Oregon has set an example for her sis
ter states:;'tb follow, by sending to the
highest lawmaking body in the world,
able, clean and progressive young men.
Hon. Fred W. Mulkey was born in
Portland, Ore., and is a resident of his
native city. He is a young man with
every accomplishment which should
qualify him for this high office. He is
a graduate of the State University of
Oregon, the New York Law School of
New York City, and is a lawyer of
high standing, a man who has trav
eled extensively in our own country
as well as abroad. He has studied our
institutions and compared them with
foreign countries. He is a logical
thinker, a forceful speaker and an
adept parliamentarian. He has many
friends, both rich and poor, for he is a
courteous gentleman, a congenial com
panion, a loyal friend and a charitable
and kind-hearted citizen,
Mr. Mulkey is a true, tried and life
long Republican, and has consistently
supported the party nominee at all
times. He is a high-minded, clean, cul
tured and patriotic citizen,whose entire
life has been spent in the state of Ore
gon, and to whose interests he is de
voted,
That the new Republican party of
Oregon hag started off right, and that
Mr. Mulkey will “make good” and
bring to himself and our state great
credit and lasting honor, is a foregone
conclusion.
John D. Rockefeller is a director in
only one company—the Standard Oil
trust. It is believed, though, that he
has friends in the directories of sev
eral other influential companies.
The Czar shows an inclination to
bend to the popular will, but he is

The London specialist who is advo

Edison says he has discovered how

two. It will soon get so that even
editors can have 'em.
Senator Whyte, being only 82, will
have to excuse Senator Pettus, as the
latter regards him as a mere boy.

Russla’s douma may labor under cer

parliamentary critigism is not one of
them. KEven In the most untrammeled

stretching parliamentary privilege
jomewhat. In the douma, however, we
hear of littie else. It may be that when

Questions concerning naturalization
have been of more Importance to the
United States than to any other coun:
try In the world owing to the fact that
the whole trend of our history has
been In the direction of an invitation
to the discontented and oppressed for
more than a century. The ‘discussion
began long before Washington entered
upon hls presidency, the declaration of
Independence, Indeed, furnishing the
starting point. In a volume just pub
lished by Prof. Frank G. .Franklin of
the University of the Pacific, under the
title, “The Legislative History of Nat
uralizatlon in the United States,” the
progress of the discussion is followed
in the varlous governmenta] acts, and
at the same time It is made apparent
that right at the start there was diffi
culty connected with the lack of unl
formity in the naturalization laws of
the several States, a difficulty which ls
perhaps most responsible for the meas
ure which has now passed Congress and
13 to go Into operation ninety days after
its approval by the President. Mr,
Franklin’s account Indicates that there
Is nothing speclally new in naturaliza
tlon questions as now discussed, since
tlie matter has been debated and rede
bated again and again ever since the
first law on the subject in 1790, unless
It be connected with the tremendous
tides of immigration which have flowed
in the direction of America during re
cent years. Two features deserve spe
cial mention when the present measure
is examined, one the barring of an
erchists and the other the requirement
of a knowledge of the Bnglish language
on the part of the would-be citizen. The
bill provides that no person who dis
belleves In or is opposed to organized
government should be naturalized. Few
w'll quitestion the wisdom of this (‘lauoe,tl
for while the utmost freedom of
thought, expression and action is popu
lar with every American, the wide lati
tude permitted should not Include the
admission to citizenship of those whose
avowed purpose is to destroy the gov
ernment offering them such' freedom.
What the practical value of the clause
will be remains to be seen. It will be
easy for one who seeks citizenship to
conceal his real sentiments, to perjure
bimself, perhaps, thus gaining privi
leges to which he would not be entitled
if his anarchistic sentiments were
known. It may serve a useful purpese
in excluding notorious enemles of law
and order. As for the requirement from
the Intending citizen of a knowledge of
the English language, that Is a wise
provision which will work little hard
ghip, but which will hasten the efforts
of many an Immigrant to learn the com
monly used speech of the country, and
there is much gained in a way when a
foreigner shows his Intention to give up
ihe old tie of language for the new one
of his adopted home. In practical work
ing it {s unlikely that the language test
will be so severe a 8 to prove a serious
barrier to any worthy applicant. There
probably will be a great rush now to
get In under the old law, and much op
portunity will be afforded judges for
the exercise of care in admission. There
need be no hurry about letting in to eltl
zonship a lot of undesirable persons
who have not yet fully proved thelr
worthiness. The laws have been pret
ty easy in the past, and there are not
many who would be injured by delay
in thelr admisslon.
Milk Fed Kid.
“This Is milk fed kid,” sald the leath
er merchant. “It Is very soft and fine
and pliable, isn't it?”
He smoothed the delicate white skin
and went on:
“All first rate kid is milk fed. It
comes to us from the French mountain
eers. These men are superb goatherds.
Thelr immense flocks supply the world’s
kid gloves. The goatherds of France
are careful to keep their kids on an ex
clusive milk diet. They pen the little
animals with their mothers in rocky
inclosures, where there {s no grass. At
that the kids often escape, often man
age to eat solid food, for, with almost
human perversity, kids that shouldn’t
be weaned wean themselves early,
whereas calves that should be weaned
cling like grim death to milk. One
meal of grass will spoil a kid's skia,
will rob It of its softness and pliability,
will harden and coarsen and stiffen it;
hence, when you buy kid gloves always
choose the milk fed kind.”—Cincinnati
Enquirer.

“A delegation from Finland, sir,” an

“Of course I cannot see my Finnish!”
