Kellaher s Convention
The political wheel turns 'round and 'round. Dan Kella
her, who when Statement No. 1 was in flower, electrified
the people of Multnomah county with his "let the people
rule," has come back.
Sure as the world, Dan is back. From his Rip Van
Winkle slumber caused by a crushing defeat in city politics
Dan has grasped the La Follette banner and, listen he
has called a convention.
Can you get that? Dan Kellaher calling a convention.
He has done that very thing. Together with George L.
Cleaver and others of a "progressive" nature, Daniel has
bid farewell to popular government, stricken from his con
science the one stereotyped phrase of "let the people rule"
and now he stands forth before the public view as a con
vention1 man; willing to assemble and converse over men
fend things in general. .,.,, " ;
Again we say the wheel has turned 'round. Ycare ago
"in the, legislative hulls Dan Kellaher was a spokesman of
the people, an exponent of "every man voting as he d d
field .in nis Home city ol Portland. "Public Service " Dan,
as he once was known from the fact that he was 'hitler
against the public utilities, has recognized a path in the
political forest. He sees a great light and he is following
it. To him the day has arrived when a convention is not
such a bad thing, after all, and he believes that his ability
us a public leader, as a statesman and a.-, .a mau whose
. heart beats for the poor down-troddeii citizen can ber.t be
utilized in a convention.
Now, that is what we call a great change in humanity.
Dan is not seeking office. He never did, for the office
always sought Dan, but he is coming forth washed us pure
as the snow and with his genial personality and happy
smile evidently hopes to purify the convention and make
it fit to serve humanity once more.
Bought and Paid Jor
The press, the magazines, governments and the public,
here and abroad, are discussing more vigorously than usual
the "market" of titles and honors. The British parliament
is investigating the alleged bartering of titles. American
magazines quite recently discussed the mercenary met hods
by which our colleges and universities lestov their honor
ary degrees. Our own congress has within the calendar
year inquired into the Rolling of our national political honors
to large contributors to the party campaign funds. Hogus
universities here and in Europe, which have lioen selling
professional degrees to the unqualified, were exposed dur
ing the past year. It is not surprising that the public is
nlmost convinced that a degree means little or nothing and

Mid twentieth century titles and honors are for sale to
those who can render political service, particularly of a
financial nature.
We do ourselves a gross injustice to credit the present
with the debasement and corruption of titular honors. As
long as there have been public honors there have been men
and women who have annexed them by fair means or foul.
Modernity can party justify its "honor market" with

today arc not more significant than honorary degrees and

merits of different oils experimentally, refuse to
