JiETUAYISG THE I'EOl'LE.
Machine leaders arc making a strong effort to induce
Statement No. 1 republicans to repudiate their pledgets and
vote against Chamberlain for senator on the ground that
in voting for a democrat they are "betraying the party."
Which is the worst, this so-called "betrayal of party"
or actual betrayal of the people V
What is government supposed to represent, the politi
cal party or the people? Whose will is law, the "party's"
or the people's?
What is a political party? An organization of office
seekers, financed usually by corporations, which expect in
return special legislation to enrich the few at the expense
of the many, and so secure an unequal distribution of
the profits of labor. The party champions certain princi
ples, which reflect public demands, and promises certain
legislation, to secure needed votes.
The political party is merely a means to an end, an
evolution of politics to suit the need of the hour. When
parties fail to respond to popular demands, they die, as
the old whig party died, and new parties, with leaders
who grasp the wishes of the people, take their places.
There is nothing sacred about a political party. In
a big city the organization consists of ambitious office
seekers, big business interests wanting special favors, dive
keepers and toughs. In the country, petty grafters take
the place of the divekeepers.
waxes wealthy without visible
Hack of the party is always the boss, back of the boss
the corrupting corporation
a party? How is it a crime
fulfill their pledges to the people by voting for a senator
the people want, and how could it be meritorious to vio
late sacred pledges and wear the mantle of dishonor to
please the corporation in the background?
When a political party is faithless to the people from
whom it obtains its existence, and the people find it out,
then that party is doomed. And if the discredited repub
lican party leaders of Oregon, led by the foolish Fulton
and the jaundiced editor of the Oregon iau, do not cease
their counsel of reaction, repudiation and dishonor, their
advocacy of the betrayal of the people, then the republican
organization in Oregon is doomed, for Hie people will have
none of those who flagrantly betray them.
.SEED FOR HOOD HO ADS.
Medfoixl and .Jackson county should be well represent
ed at the state good roads conference that meets in Portland
next week to inaugurate a united and concerted movement
to place the state at the head of t hose common wealt lis boast
ing of good highways.
The county judge and the county nmissioiiers should
be there, as well as a strong delegation of citizens, for the
county's greatest need is good highways. No section in
the state should have better roads, and few now have poor
er, than .Jackson county.
Oregon probably has the worst system of roads of
any state in the I'liion, certainly the worst of any western
state. And there is no excuse for this coudit ion of affairs,
except the inborn lethargy of the mossback, for nature has
placed in convenient abundance all those essentials for
the making of highways.
With the awakening of the state to a realization of
natural resources and its possibilities, there has come also
an awakening to the miserable condition of its highways,
and the necessity for bettering them. The meet ing at Port
land will start the ball rolling.

What Papers Say
THE ISU O
(Iloury Wuttersun in Louisville-Courier-Journal.)
All economic issues pule before this
Hupreme exigency. Jlr. Ifryan'a reviled
personality is but an atom. The most
hide-bound conservative cannot fear
Mr. Hryan with the republican senate
already filed to outlast the neit pres
idential term. Mr. Tuft's personality,
however nttraceive, is but an atom,
when we reflect that it is simply the
velvet hand of the old confidence gumc
of high tariff and high finance, played
upon the American tndustries by the
party of Slnndard Oil and steel und iron
of the snyar trust, and the tobacco
trust, or fraud anil force, from the hour
when it sought to Mexieani.e the ov
eminent by I he impeachment of a pres
ident who had committed no leal
wrong and the setting aside of the ver
dict of the ballot box by congressional
usurpation, to the hour when it adopted
a platform of impoHture placing upon
it the pretended counterfeit present
nt of Noose-volt, but coupling him
with a voke-mate out of the vortex of
predatory weallh and the jaws of mo
nopoly. Flying the flag of Itooscvolt, the re
publican leaders have already luade
rheir peace wilh the system, that is
with Satan, Pittsburg and Wall street.
Krolll Rockefeller to Carnegie, from
llarriiiiau to Morgan, every chieftain
of lawless riches is well content with
Tuft and Sherman. They foretoken
in tl imply the old order of spccinl priv
ilege to the few, impositions of every
rt to the many; high finance ram
pant; high tariff, "revised by lis
friends," rampant; the end of Koose-
eltism and agitation for "the good of
business" business onlv organized cap-
lal and licensed monopoly; the same
ohl story, the same old song the same
old gang, slicked over with goose grease
from the Roosevelt larder, meaning four
vears more of the rascaldom, wlucli
Itooscvolt has unmasked but not down-
which Roosevelt has exposed, but
left intact; which, in spite of Roose
velt and all his works, stands today as
impudent and defiant as ever it stood.

WOMEN AND ABSINTHE
WRECK YOUNO RAYNER
William It. Kayncr, son of Tinted
Slates Senator Isidor Kayner, lias been
placed iu an asylum by his father as
the result of a consultation vesterdnv
fteniimn with several prominent alien
ists, who advised the senator that, ow
ing to the mental condition of his son,
it would be unwise to permit him to
1'iuain at liberty. The physicinns who
xamined vounf Uayner were Drs. Hill,
llevan, Herring and Reipiatdt, says the
lliiltimore American.
Young Kayner, it is said, has become
:i physical and mental wreck as the re
stilt of alcoholic and drug excesses, and
since his absence from home his name
has been associated with that of Mrs.
William Kinhrr, whose husband recent lv
sued her for divorce. In fact, it is
claimed that Mrs. Fisher has been more
or less the com pan ion of young Ray
ner since he left the city lust March,
and when he was brought home from
Norfolk by his father on Wednesday
night, Mis. Fisher, who was aboard the
vessel, created considerable excitement,
and at one time, it is said, attempted
to throw herself from the steamer into
the bav.
