A Democratic Platform Accident Democrats In Congress are not wait ing until after the election In taking Issue with their own platform. Thll la "progressive," alnce their rule si- waya baa been to wait until after get ting in. Rut this is sn era of over confidence in Democratic circles. Last Saturday Congressman Fitigerald of a New York City district, wss remind ed by Congressman Henry of Texas that he waa out of line with the Balt imore platform In opposing legislation to prevent selling options on the cot ton crop. 1 decline to withdraw my opposition to the bill.- said Mr. Fiti gerald. '1 believe it ia unwiae and Imoroner lecitlatlon. A declaration in a nlatrnrm adonted at lUltlmore or elsewhere will not control my action in a legislative capacity when I be lieve, on the subject of such legisla tion, that it is beyond the power of Congress." He cited decisions of the Supreme Court declaring such legts- lation unconstitutional. He succeeded in shifting the issue from one between the Baltimore plat form and himself to one between the constitution and the Baltimore plat form. As for him, he would stand by the constitution. This, in itself, can not be criticized. As between the constitution and the Baltimore plat form nobody will deny that the con stitution was here first But Mr. Hen ry of Texaa was 'for giving the coun try a guarantee. In advance of the election, that Democrats in Congress are standing on the Baltimore plat form anyhow. "I appeal to all Dem ocrats to begin now to carry out the pledges of the party made in that con vention." be said. Mr. Hobson of Al abama sailed into the discussion as gallantly as he did into the harbor of Santiago, and tried to sink Fitzger ald as he did the Merrimac, "It comes with poor grace from any Dem ocrat," said he, "to begin criticizing our platform, or an section of it. de claring it unconstitutional before it is even cold from the convention. This bill carries out a plank of that plat form and is therefore binding on Dem ocrats." Fitzgerald would have gone down like the Merrimac if he had not found opportunity of getting and reading a copy of the Baltimore plank. In it he found tflat adjective "perni cious" had been nsed as a qualifying term, and instead of sinking he rose out of the water. "I am in accord with that provision of the platform," he said. "I did not recall the exact wording of the platform when it was mentioned by the gentleman from Texas. The platform declaration I does not mean that every bill propos-1 lng to accomplish certain results is legislation which party man Is com pelled to suport because of that pro vision in the platform. I deny that this bill accomplishes what the plat form favors. I regard party plat forms as binding, but I do not think this bill carries out the platform pledge." WHAT DOES THIS MEANT The Kentucky Klick, an organiza tion of Multnomah County Democrats, favors the recall of Republican Judges. It is not explained wby the Klick draws the line here and neglects o go on re cord as opposing the recall of Demo cratic judges, but the intimation is there and is ludicrous. In a set of res olutions adopted at Portland Wednes day night the Klick has this choice bit: "The Klick favors the recall of Re publican judges; therefore It congrat ulates Governor West on his use of the militia to suppress vice In Clack amas County." We may asaume that the Governor found no vice In Multnomah County, where a wide open condition has exist ed for a long while. We may assume that the Kentucky Klick believes that vice in Clackamas The Old "What's worth doing at all is worth doing well, is exemplified in the lives of many of our truly successful men. If you have not been saving money in the past, make the start today-open an account with this bank make regular additions to your fund, and you will find that it is well worth your effort and economy. The Bank of THE OLDEST BANK IN County la virtue in Multnomah Coun ty. Finally It la a safe assumption that (ho Klk k believes sauce for the goose la not fit food for the gander. In CInckamai County we have Re publican Judges and Democratic Jud ge from Justices of the Trace to the Circuit I tench, but It la not explained Just w hy they ahould be subject to the recall .over and above Judgea In other counties, neither la It made clear juat what the relation la between the Re publican Judgea and the uae by Gover nor West of the atnte militia to up. prena lce "In Clackamaa County." The Enterprise la In avnipathy with the Governor efforts to eupprcea vice lli all the counties In the state, but the Klick's resolution looks like a Joke. Reclamation and the Waterway. Poth the leading partlea in their platforms treat waterway develop ment as one of the live national la dies, and it Is clear that the next ten years will witness Important pro gress in deepening and restraining channels and in promoting their uses in Industry aa well as navigation. In Gibbon's work on the Roman Empire occurs this striking sentence: The servitude of the rivers is the noblest and most important victory which man has obtained over the licentious ness of nature." Gibbon died 119 J but though he had never steamship he knew from his- tory what rivers had been to ancient races, and placed their mastery, as far as It went, above all other achieve ment with natural forces. Though he lived before the era of steam and elec- tricity ho knew what the streams had been to many generations of men in reclamation, irrigation and transpor tation. The National Reclamation Associa tion, on the strength of the platforms just adopted, is preparing to push its cause in Cangress more vigorously than ever before. At the session of Con cress becinninz in December it I will favor the completion of a levee I system from SL Louis to the gulf, the ! conservation of flood waters for Irri gation and navigation, water supply, power development and allied sub jects. Four hundred million tona of slit, the surface soil, is annually wash ed down to the gulf by way of the Mississippi River. Millions of elec-1 trical horse-power units are wasted in dinance which Is now In his hands and the freshets of tributaries of the Mia- j that he return with his recomenda sissippl. All that can be done by i tion that "fifteen miles" be Inserted means of the conservation of rivers is J in place of "ten miles." If a ten mile not determined, but there is no risk j bill is passed, and enforced, all our In a wise beginning, and In the more ! autoists it is declared, and everyone earnest, systematic attention of Con- j coming through from Portland by gress to waterways. The platform auto, will be In the "Jug." On our planks relating to them should mean j streets an auto cannot go 10 miles an business. n0ur on blub gear, the autoists atlege " . j and surely it is not the Intent of ths THE WILLAMETTE FALLS j city "dads" to have all machines run Bare as a billiard bail the rocks of j through the city like snails.

Still, the wheels of the great paper producing plants grind on; the turbines of the electric plants continue to aid in the generat ing of electric energy for Portland and intermediate towns. We have the one great power of Oregon; the giver of life to our district; the one stimulant above all to make Oregon City what it is today. Before the winter rains come, or probably at about one and the same time, Oregon will experience another general election, when the people of this great state will have a chance to aid our natural resources by voting to make conditions as they should be; by correcting some of the existing evils, and against the so-called U'Ren measures prepared and put through by W. S. UTlen. A vote for Single Tax mean a vote so U'Rcn can hold his job, and the state go to ruin, but a vote against this ruinous measure will allow U'Ren to continue to work for his client, but keep the state on the road to prosper ity; and at the same time further your own Interests. The Willamette Falls, or any other natural resource cannot do all your help to keep things moving Is need, ed. OFF THE MAIN LINE Oregon City Is to be taken off the main line of the Southern Pacific. The company has matured plans for the construction of a bridge over the Willamette River at New Era, six Saying : ' Oregon City CLACKAMAS COUNTY nillea south of Oregon City. Tralna northbound will croaa over thta bridge from the Kant aide to the Wot Side and thou rcveroe the Wlllamotte River over the Wlllshtirg cutoff l-rldge, en tering lHirtlnml na now, via tho East aide ami over the stool bridge. South bound tralna will reverie thla routing. The explanation of the Southern Pacific otTli'lnia la that the change wilt give thorn a grade of about four-tenths of one per cent, while the present grade on the East aide between Mil- waukle and New Krit runt aa high a two mul one-half per cent ft m.iy be too late for the Oregon City Commercial Club to persuade tin 'Southern Pacific to change Its plans, hut as the iltuatlon now stands, there will bo no main line trains In elthet direction pass through Oregon CltJ and the present track will probably be used as an electric railway, If at all, Cars of the Canby-Molulla electric line, now in course of construction, at so will use the New Era bridge and will not pass through Oregon City. West Oregon City will got on the main line map and Oregon City will get off. What are we going to do about It? WEST SIDE RAILROADS Work on the West side electric road of the Portland. Railway, Light & Power Company has been commen ced, connecting the cities of Oswego and Oregon City. This line was ex tended to Bolton some time ago hut further work was stopped by court proceedings. Since favorable decis ion was rendered crews have been put into the fields and before winter it is expected that the road will be com pleted Into the city of Iron fame, soon to be the greatest cement producing city In Oregon. This line with connection at Oswe go with the Southern Pacific should bring real estate on the West Side In great demand, the West Side being much closer to Portland's business dls- trict than Onson C1,y T0Pr Rail road8 buUd UP dlstrlct "ulcker than 'nnv nfhar knnwn tnvefltment mil Om. gon City will receive its Just due with other communities. TEN MILE AUTO LAW It is nrged by autoists that the may- Or veto the ten mile an hour auto or- ledge thereof or not should be arrest ed for greater speed is not needed within a city's limits. CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN Work on the Clackamas Southern is being rapidly carried to completion. Contractors have large crews on the grade work and the bridges will soon be ready for the steel. Teama and men are arriving daily and before winter trains will be In operation to Molalla, tapping a new but rich dis trict without robbing any present road of its revenue. Thanks to a few Ore gon City citizens who have given their undivided attention to this project Surveyors are still as thick as bees on the West Side. There are roads laid out In nil directions; surveys to burn. With two West Side and one East Side road what can we expect other than rapid growth. We are des tined to be one of the largest as well as the oldest city of Oregon. Panama has had an orderly presi dential election. The explanation is the presence of American commission ers to Insist that the contest should be settled by ballots, not bullets. A conservation plank is found In the Democratic platform, but the doc ument is a general assault on the con servation of present prosperity. As the vote against Lorimer was about 2 to 1 it is probable that an other month's deluge of talk would have made it unanimous.

To the Editor: I would like Just a little space in your paper to reglst er a great big kick, on the way ths Molalla road ia Doing !Ued. When 1 came home from town yesterday aft ernoon about 4 p. m. I stopped and wus talking with a man working there spreading crushed rock. While I was there a man came along with big load of wood. Well he could not drive on the rock so he had to drive on the side and I thought he surely would turn over Into a big ditch by the side of the so-called road. Now I don't know who is reaponalble for the way that work is being done, but I do know whoever it Is has not much brains as a road builder but 1 am Koing to suppose it Is the Honorable Mayor, City Council and City Engi neer. The engineer did his work all right; If the city "dails" will do theirs as well then we could have a decent road, but the way it is being done Is simply a disgrace to any set of city "dads" of Oregon City or Clackamas County. If the contract had been lot to some good man or hired .such a man as Frank Jaggar to bulld'lt. then the farnTPrs of the county could have had a decent road to travel over go ing to OreKon City, but If it is com pleted as it is started, we have got nothing, only a dangerous death-trap to travel over, for when It becomes wet a rig will slip off into those deep ditches ami upset and kill or hurt people. The rock road is too narrow tor teams and autos to pass on and let both of them stay on the rock road, consequently the auto will stay on the lock and the woman aud the bugi;y will be the ones to go In the ditch. here if that crushed rocs- was put clear across, there would be room enough for' all without sliding Into the ditch, but I hope it will not be a woman and baby that will be ths first ones to tip over but that It may be Honorable Mayor and Council all in a heap. Then they will be where they belong for giving us farmers of Clackamas County such a damnable piece of road to travel over. That road has been a disgrace to the coun ty und state ever since I have been here, and It always will be till it Is made right and wide like any street should be made. We farmers try to give you city "dads" at least half way decent roads In the country when we build a rock road, now we would like to have you return the compli ment. If you want the farmers to vote bonds to build public highways for your autos, then you must demon strate ycur ability to build roads with out too much graft attached to the building of such roads. One man told me he got the enormous sum of three loads of rock to spread on the road on last Friday. They had eight loads Saturday to spread up till about 4 p. m. So there is where Oregon City taxpayers' money gops. Paying for something they don't get. Yours truly, R. L. BADGER. TO HAVE ENTIRE T. R. TICKET JACKSON, Mich., July 20.MlchI gan progressive Republicans divorced themselves from the Republican party In their state convention here today. By a vote almost unanimous the dele gation went on record as favoring the placing of an entire ticket, state and National, In the field. Delegates to the National progres sive convention In Chicago, Preslden tlal electors, member of the state cen tral committee and a member of the National committee were chosen to day. Members of the state central committee recommended State Senat or Watklns of Jackson, for Governor and Theodore M. Joslln of Adrian, for united states Senator. J TO STAY ON BALLOT TOPEKA. Kan., July 22. The Kan sas supreme court today decided that tne names or Roosevelt electors must remain on the primary ballots and that the voters can then express their choice between Taft and Roosevelt as the Republican nominee In Kansas. It ruled that the Taft-Roosevelt row was political and should never have been brought into the court. All suit were dismissed. The decision was given on a suit by the Taft men to have the name of Roosevelt elector removed from the regular Republican ballot. af& fl COHVAl.t.lH, July 22, Valuable ingestions on the growing of mush looms are given by Professor A. 0.
