The independence party, holding n "national conven tion" in Chicago this week, is a travesty on independence. It lias no independence of any kind, hut. in dependent in nvoi'i- wnv nnon the nockclhook of W. R, Hearst, its ere- ator'and inspiration. Were would lie no more "independence party." 'Phis nersonallv conducted organization is an open houffe nolitica! party. It is satire upon American politics mid politicians and should have the same effect upon political parties that, Don Quixote had upon medieval chivalry destroy them by showing their absurdity. The independence party has been incorporated by W. R. Hearst and his hired men the same as any other corpo ration. It is controlled absolutely by him and can be de livered body, soul and breeches to anyone who pays the price. He delivered it to Tammany when he ran for gov ernor, he sold it to the republicans in the following elec tion, add is today in league with the republicans with the sole idea of defeating Bryan. Every organizer of the independence party draws a salary from Hearst. Most ployes or lawyers on the Hearst to the "national convent ion no sentiment or popular support behind any one of them. Organization is effected in various states, as it, was m Ore gon, by the arrival of a paid agent, who advertises for members and by promises of free advertising and publicity in the Hearst papers, by providing special cars and hotel accommodations, rounds up enough to be called a "dele gation." I?nt they represent no one except Hearst and themselves. Hearst; is a discredited demagogue, whose power for good or evil has long been on the wane. He has no morals of any kind nothing but a clamorous pretense. He keeps beating his yellow journal tom-tom, crying against known evils, that lie may delude, mislead and betray sincere fol lowers. Wherever he is known, his insincerity is despised; and he is weakest where best, known. He denounces both old parties as rotten but neither are as rotten as his -own third party, which represents himself and therefore ran have no principle. Shouting against, the Southern Pacific in California, Hearst stopped his warfare for .$1000 a month "advertis ing." Clamoring against corruption in politics, Hearst de feated .Franklin K. Lane and Theodore Bell for governor in the (1 olden State to insure llarriman's control. Posing as champion of honesty, Hearst supported Sclnnitz and Rucf in three campaigns and is now fighting the graft prosecution. Advocating purity in politics, Hearst spent a fortune buying votes to nominate- himself in the national democratic convention four years ago, and because some one bought it ahead of him, he repudiates democracy. Pic turing himself the defender of the people from corrupt bosses, Hearst leagued himself with Murphy of Tammany or Piatt and Odell as occasion offered, lie fought Roose velt's every reform. And now he lends his fake third party in an effort, to block these reforms by defeating Hryan as he defeated ISell in California. Hearst says that Hryan is "a knight in motley." On a relative basis. Hearst himself wears the livery of lhat class of night animals known as the genus Mephitis (the skunk.) DISUVI'TIXG THE I'AltTY. The Portland Oregonian has renewed its policy of dis rupting the republican party just before a political cam paign, so that factional strife thereby engendered will make possible democratic success. It is now demanding the removal of W. M. Cake as state chairman because is a believer in (Statement Xo. 1. It says: "Jt will be impossible to in Oregon under the leadership tion of a democrat (Chamberlain) to the senate. Repub licans have no confidence m low it. Mr. Cake and others, who are pledged to the elec tion of Mr. Chamberlain, will not be permitted to lead the republican party further, to its final betrayal and un doing." "The only chance is to repudiate such leadership. Oth erwise the, state will g l.r Bryan with a rush. Xcw or ganisation of the republican party in indispensable, if hopeful ef rort. is to he made for the republican candidate for the presidency in the state." This is a sample of w rule or ruin noliev r ,11.1,,.,,.... pursued by the Oregonian, whose ,.lH..r Ktin'oherishoH the delusion that were btatenient . .5.00 the pocket book to close, there a tremendous joke, a huge ot them are newspaper em payroll. Every "delegate is paid tor going. I Here is carrv on a campaign for Taft of men pledged to the ele such leadership; will not fol No. J out of tho wuy, he might' buy the senator.ship, aud because it is not out of the way, and those elected will not violate their solemn pledges, he endeavors to create friction enough to help carry the state for Bryan. Cake's removal or attempted removal will stir up such a rumpus that it will completely wreck the G. O. P. cam paign, and then the Oregonian will point to Statement No. 1 as the cause of disaster, when it will not be Statement Xo. 1 at all, but the feuds st irred up by the paper. What the people of Oregon think of forcing legislators to vote for popular choice for senator was shown by the tremendous majority given the proposed amendment at the .June election, when only a few thousand votes could be mustered in favor of the old system.' A JOLLY SWIM. There was K man three feet nnm'iil Went HwitiKiiine in u rink. Ill) hired a (dim mini's bulbing unit, (if course hi did nut think. It took ii ii hour to get it mi; It (lid lit rather tight, Then ho strolled the sandy lmnk. Wiin he- nut a night ? " : I A friend f bin stopped np behind, And whispered in bin ear: "Ymir suit in split cleiin up Hie biiek," The rent he did not heiir. A dive iliiwn, down lie went; He hit the bottom hlird; Hie mouth wild filled with water; The cement floor was marred. A fellow quickly pulled him out. A hero iirave was lie, The fat guy squealed: "Iion't pull me out; Don't let the ladies Hce." He wrote at once to Carnegie, For n mednl of pure tin, For the mniden coy who saved him With a handy safety pin. Tess Miirslinll. BRYAN ONCE MORE. (IudiannpoliH News, Kep.) Whatever may bo said by our dis appointed eastern friends, ltryan was freely chosen. He represents the, rank and file rather than the organization of liis party. It is idle to deny his strength. A man that could maintain himself thus for 1'J years, lifter two crushing defeats, and could again carry iff the honor almost without ll contest, is a strong man. There is only one possible explanation of tho phenomenon that does not consist with this view, nud Ihnt is that many democrats bellcvod that their party would bo defeated any how, and that they preferred Hint it should be defeated under Bryan feel ing that auollier defeat would end him rather than under nnyouo else. Un doubtedly there was sometliiug of this. Hut it is not of itself enough to account for what has happened. Wo believe I hat if will have to lie e.dmilted Hint Hryan was the fair choice, of his party that he was nominated simply because Ihe democratic parly wanted him to be nominated. We think farther as we have ninnv times said that Mr. Hryan is stronger with the people than he ever was be fore, and that the republicans will make , great mistake if they assume that he an easily be defeated. For the mini in iuite as popular as lie ever was, has inte as sluing a hold on the affections of Ihe people, and yet he has grown in wiNiloin, ami is. we believe, less rail- ical. No wiso student of events will be deceived by the enl husiasin of tho hour, lint neither will such u man shut his eyes to it, or refuse lo sea in il a source of encouragement for the demociiils. It is no holiday campaign on which the republicans are entering. 'I'hey will have to fight for every foot of ground. It is possible lhat, in the light of delibern tiou, the out husiasin for llrviAi inav wane, nml Hint enthusiasm for Taft of which there is now little mnv de velop. It may be, ton, us it has been in Hie past, lhat the people will content (heniselves with shouting for Hryan, and then go quietly ,,nd vote the other ticket. As to this, it is impossible now to know anything. All that we can say. all Hint anyone can sav, is that Mr. Hryan 's nomination has roused great enthusiasm, Hint he is the freo choice of his party; Hint that party is united as it has not beeu for HI years; Hint Hryan is stronger than he ever was before. ( ml Hint people are no longer afraid of him at least to the extent thai they once were. The situation has changed in many wavs, nud every change is favorable lo Hrvnn. Prohibition in Curry County. (Weddeibiiin Hiidium.) The success of the prohibition move voting ,rv n largo u.rtion of the stale of Oregon has not made good for the cause of t pernnce, for the reason that the "jug behind the door" nud the bottle mid demijohn in the brush is lending the tender' youths from the nge of El upwards in paths which will terminate iu social and moral des- iiuiioii. eiiiue lurry went drv the lemi.iolins linve been coming to the dif ferent parts of t lie county in great mini bers, and upon each ocension when .I,......,., 1... .... 1 , .

Tho Double-Action Rocall. ( Wciblcrhuru Itailium.) The advantages nnd beauties of the new recall law recently passed bv ini tiative vote are being exemplified in the city of Medford. where the prohibi tionists are asking Councilman John D. Olwell to vacate his office because lie voted to license snloous. No doubt llie innn who drafted this law had greater things in view hen lie foisted it on the people of the state, and was plan ning to reduce senators and congress men to the ranks, rather than raise petty municipal cmhroglios nud come pient endless local quarrel. Happilv Hie law will work both wavs, and when .me side is beaten, it can turn around :iml invoke the recall on nnv man in public against whom they have n grudge. .Vnd then the other side can get busy. And so no nil finitum. ad unuseum. trouble without intermission. and everybody joyously impaling his enemy with a recnll petition. Yes. the r.H-ll is n ami inatitutinn.
