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.

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

of the drinking habit will be fruitless.

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
