DEFEAT OP SUFFRAGE.
la another column can be found u
letter written by Mrs. lutiiw;iy,' the
equal suffrax1- leader, iifu.u the recent
ampaigu, which is well wiirtlitlic. read
intf., All that Mra. Uuniway rinya elioiit
the unjust local option law is true. As
long as paid agitators, who draw their
pay from some seeret amirce, nro lu-pt
busy goiug "bout the country MirrinK
up troublo by frenzied appeals, jimt so
loug will the fair and impartial con
sideratiou of questions of government
be impossible.; 1n ' Orcon,; where 'the
initiative and referendum make iiopii
lar government possibility., litis con
stant agitation, obscuring all other qnes
tious, even the fitness of candidates
;,for office, tends to render' sueh gov.
eniment an absurdity. ;
Thii ondlc," interruption of enn
flioting interests!' by nou-resideuls and
on taipayers, who are hired for the
purpose of setting neighbors agaiiiHt
each other, of oroitsing cniniticx and
creating animosities and of dividing
communities, who after sowing their
eeds.pr discord In ono slat, flit to
anotber to repeat I lie performance, can
not otherwise .result than in an injury,
not only to the communities, but to the
slato., , .' . -
' The liquor traffic has been with us
siuee long before the early dawn of civ.
nidation. Jt. is oldor thau any eiviliji,
tion, and probably will outlast incut
civilizations of today. Jt is not n prob
lem to be settled by frenzied appeals
to the multitude by sentimental preach
ers and magic lantern pictures, by paid
traveling agitators, by little children
marching through streets with banners
and hanging around .polling places, by
women buttonholing voters on the street
and pleading to save humanity from
bathing In tubs filled by (he tenia of
drunkards' wives it is not a problem
to be settled by hysteria or pasHion.
but by calm, common senso nnd rea
son This "mighty moral wave" is sim
ply a popular craw, engendered by ml
crones of bigotry and intolerance, that,
like other erur.es, must run its course.
The antl-Mnson movement. I hut defeat
ed Henry Clay, the old ' KnownoMiing"
party and the more recent "A. P. A."
that swept the country, were nil on the
same order, cluilitiona of hysterical fren
ry thnt eventually succumbed before
roturniug sanity.
This paper is not defending the liquor
dealers their own rule in the past has
brought on I heir present predicament,
nnd the rule of booze is iutnleralile
' but it does not believe thai hysteria
can settle a problem as old as humanity,
or by edict reform mankind, charle
uingao Christianized the llelgians by
slaughtering every mule that stood
higher than his sword and baptizing
the women and children. Only by somc
such ruthless method can a sudden re
formation be made in a race whose
ancestors have been hard fighting and
nara-wnrKing linn nam drinking men
since they first emerged from the shad
owe of the (leriuan forests.
All honor to Mrs. Duiiiwnv. Khe Is
fighting n noble fight, and victory w
eventually crowd her efforts. There is
no good reason why women should no
have the ballot there ar nnv win-
she should. Where she has it she doi
not abuse it, and experience has prove
. that those states where women vot
are not as liable to suffer from popular
erar.ee as those where she is permitted
to pay taxes, but must pay them as th
. man who is not a taxpayer dictates.
BREAKING PARTY LINES.
At tlio recent election, the straight
democratic vote pulled was in the neigh
borhood of Kl.M, tho vote for Whitney

Jones, democrat for sheriff, polled
2272 votes, ) above the party vot.
Of thesu, at least ftt) cnnie from th
sociulists, leaving SrtO republicans who
must have broken over parly lines
Tho largest voto polled bv nnv of the
focal candidates that had opposition mi
that cast for Huruett for recorder, ll.lt Wl

The disposition of the publicity bill
sett Ies that. Nobody can now doubt that
thu republicans hope only to curry the

same scheme of bargain find sale which
was revealed of P.hiO by tho iinsuriiaoe

from tho widow and the orphan, blast

WATER CARNIVAL, ON ' ;
WILLAMETTE ATTRACTS MANY
PORTLAND. Or., June (t.-Dmrn on
the Willamette last night there was a
sight worth braving the damp breeze
I lint blew up t he river to see. The
Willamette may not be altogether lovely
in I he daylight . but t ru unformed into
a fairy s taele with countless small
bouts ami graceful yachts sending shim
mering rays of light over the water and
marking their course by ripples of fire,
it wa a thing of beauty,
l-'roin below the bridges, where the
big white Charleston lay, n wonderful
object stretching out its arms of light
in enormous ribbons t hat now picked
out u crowd of sightseers on tho bank,
now a little motor boat in tin rivor nnd
now one of the other warships in the
harbor nbove Huruside street, where
t he sailboats were maneuvering, t heir
graceful masts and sails out lined in
Japanese lanterns, the river was alive
with boats of very description, all
decorated and all filled with laughing
I I'l".
Launches in Oay Dross.
Commodore II, C, McAllister, chair
mail of the water carnival, was in the
cruiser Charleston's launch, and direct
el the review ami parade from it. The
Charleston had two steam launches iu
the parade, both handsomely decorated
ami with sailors on board burning reil
fire and discharging fireworks, 1 hi'
made an attractive addition to the ear
nival.
The gasoline boat, Koos, decorated
with strings of colored lights, u double
row of them around the rail from stem
to stern, and with st rings of electric
globes running to the flagstaff Maypole
fashion, the lights alternating nnd tho
cabin banked with ferns and roses, was
rxci-pt ionally beautiful and carried off
a first prize iu the trophy contest.
There were scores of canoes and
launches, motor bouts, cat a inn runs,
knockabouts and cutters, nil decorntcd
in the Japanese lanterns nnd all adding
to the beautv of the scene.
