CHOOSING DELEGATES
Theresa some discussion as to the
maimer in which Oregon's delegates to
the next national convention Bliall be
chosen. In the good old days, when
John or Joe ruled the roost, there was
pretense that the delegates were elect
ed by the State Convention. As a mat
ter of fact they were appointed by John
or Jo?, whichever happened to be on top.
It was bossism, but it possessed the
merit of simplicity, and a candidate for
such transitory honors was not compell
ed to consult a great number of what is
known as "common" people. All that
was necessary to decide the aspirant's
fate was for him to see the reigning boss,
arm wborer cjtiid deliver the most
"goods" got the job. Occasionally grat
itude for past services cut some figure
with the political dictator, but, as a rule,
hope of future service in tha primaries,
the election, or the legislative caucus
decided. The petty bosses appear to
have lost somewhat of their power, and
he who aspires to office today must at
least make a pretense of consulting the
people. But, since the Kepublican
National Convention this year is to be it
cat and dried affair, dominated and con
trolled by the President, who is either
to take the office himself or bestow it
upon his chosen heir, why not have the
President appoint the delegates and
write the platform. So far as the result
is concerned this might as well be done.
Unless there is a clianga in public senti
ment Mr. Eoosevelt will be the whole
how. He will name the nominee and
he will dictate the platform. """"
No man in modern times ever so com
pletely controlled a country as does
President Roosevelt. There can be but
one reason for this, and that is that the
people have the most perfect confidence,
in his ability and integrity. They judge
him by the work he has performed along
the line of honesty and equal enforce
ment of the laws, and while some ste
danger in his methods their number will
The County Court, on September IHh,
nwilu thctollowittgorder:
Whereas, tha old court house was sold
with the understanding to be moved in
thirty days after vacation, and a reason
able time having elnps tl above the
thirty iliiys; it is hereby ordered by the
court that said building be moved ou or
More October lft 1007, and in caso of
failure to move said building the court
will proceed to have the same moved.
Whereas the' county court heretofore
untie an order asking the city to furnish
certain lots for a street fronting the new
cjurt house, preparatory to the county
improving the same in manner as set
forth in said order, it it hereby ordered
that unless the city of St. Helens turns
over the deeds to said lots ou or before
the first d.y of October, 1907, the county
court will refuse to make the said im
provements at present, for the reason
that sand con only be gotten from the
river during the period of low water.
It la time the city got butyon this
preposition, provided It wants the plaaa.
In our opinion there is nothing that
would bo of more benefit to St. Helens
than the beauty spot the county court
proposes to create. As we understand
it, all deeds, wi'.h one exception, are in
the possession of the city, aud we trust
before the first day of next month all of
the property in question will have been
turned over to the county.
Hut the people of St. Helens are yery
much opposed to this public property
being converted into a mere means of
private gain. Certain parties will
naturally be benefited by it and thei
property will be made more valuable
But thff county court, having control
the projierty, should not permit private
owners to use it as their exit. No gates
should be allowed to open from private
property onto the plaza. The county
should construct and maintain an orna
mental iron fence on each side. It
should not be a public str.et nor comity
road, and at all times should be guard
ed agaitist vandalism. It might be well
for the city to limit the kind of struc
tures that will be permitted wittiin
certain distance ol l no county a prop
erty.
All subscribers who have paid for the

on the Mist's list for the balance of the

At the end of the year, unless we ai
notified t fctop their paper, they will
begin paving the same rate for the Mist
as other subscriber pay.
Columbian subscribers who have not
paid for that paper owe the amount
due to the Mist, They will be carried

bills will be sent them to the eud of the

We certainly think we are furnishing
better paper thau the Columbian aud
hope to retain all its subscribers and gain
many new ones.
ANGLO-JAPNESE TREATY
THE TRIBUNE'S CANVASS
The Chicago Tribune has justcomplet
ed a poll of the Republican editors of the
New England States as to their choice
for the. Republican nomination for the
Presidency. Taft is first choice by 389
votes out of BiO, while Hughes received
129 votes for first; while for second or
third choice be has 389 votes, leading
Taft for both second and third Choice
This is a most remarkable showing for
Mr. Hagbes. Ta.'t Is the President's
candidate. Every postolllce editor and
Presidential pap sucker in the East
doubtless voted for hiin. The country
press of the New England States is very
apt to bow to the wishes of the Presi
dent and name as their candidate the
man in whose favor al! the influence of
the administration is being exerted.
ltioee wi;o voteu ror tiugl.es liaii no
object except a desire to see the strong
est and Lest man nominate (. He ha
no machine to boost him, nor has he
done anything whatever with the intent
not be sufficient to defeat his control of of creating public sentiuv-nt in his own
the party machinery. In effect the gov
ernment of the United States to tljy is a
dictatorship, aud so long as the results
accomplished are beneficial to the pub
lic there will probably be no great protect.
CHANGE THE DATE
Of course it rained during the Hate
Fair. It always does. The date is set
apparently for the purpose of insuring
rain. For every other purp jse (except
one) it is about the worst date that could
p-jesibly be chosen. Iu many parts of
the State fruits and vegetables are not
matured, and this Is especially true of
Columbia and the Coast eoni.ties. Pota
toes aud other root crops are not ready
to dig and the best varieties of apples
have not acquired their full size nr rwr-
.fect coloring. If it is th object to give
the Southern counties an advantage then
that may be another sufficient reason in
the opinion of the Board of Agriculture
or uoiuingtne lair just awut trie time
the equinoctial Btortn inav be
bt-hi.f. Hie partisan newpapers of the
county do not correctly represent pub
lic sentiment or even party aontiment
They are anxious to pick out the winner,
and Tafi'i Urge vote is due mainly to
the fact that they believe President
P.oosevelt will dominate the Republican
National Convention and dictate the
nomination of his favorite. Probably
they are correct. The President has a
great advantage in the appointing power,
anJ he has shown that he U a second
Jackaon in his determination to reward
his friends and punish bis enemies.
He Is the friend of Governor Hughes
; arid did everything p.-.ssible to aid that
gentleman in his campaign against
Hears', yet lis would br-jok no iuterfer
ance from him in the programme h has
mapped out, an lit is probable that al the
right time the Governor will announce
that he will not be a candidate.
As a candi-late Hughes would un
doubtedly be the stronger u'an. He has
It is Slid that in the event of war be
tween America and Japan, should Rus
sia attempt to regain her foothold In
Manchuri England would be compelled
by the terms o( her treaty to aid the
Japanese. It may lie written so, and
Japan might ba foolish enough to rely
upon such a document. But the time
has gone by when the Government of
Great Britain would dare plunge that
country into a great war without the
approval of the English people. The
aristocracy of England have never been
friendly to the United States, and had
they dared would no doubt have inter
fered in favor of the South during tbe
civil war; but we have always had strong
friends among the greatest of England's
statesmen, from the days of tbe revolu
tiou to the present time. The men who
were nearest to the hearts of the En
gliah people have sympathued with the
Untied States aud have not hesitated to
espouse our cause. If we have war with
Japan it will be after we have done all
that is possible for a self respecting
nation to do to avert such a calamity,
and in that event-treaty or no treaty-
England will never aid Japan aganst
the United States.
