Vas shown itself to be a creator of j facMona! strife in the nee for state aj c unly offices. It is certainly a club iu the hands of the minority par ty. But we have it, and it pretends to be an opportunity for the people to govern. Just so long as the people of Oregon continue to believe that the power of government is directly In their hands. Just so long we shall have the direct primary law. We may swear at It, we may write columns against It, but there is not the slight est likelihood that the people will themselves vote back again to the days of conventions. PLEDGES AND THE CAUSES.

The live ghost of Statement No. 1 seems to He heavily upon the stomach of the Portland Oregonlan. Hardly a day passes but that newspaper has a caustic editorial on that battered feature of Oregon's direct primary law.for the reason, we assume, of per suading the members of the legisla ture that Governor Chamberlain is not the people's choice for Cnlted States senator. As a rule the editor ial opinions of the Oregonlan have great weight, but we fear it Is lost space to attempt to convince the Statement No. 1 people that it Is their duty to go behind their ante election pledges. The cause Is not hard to find. Let us say that 50 per cent of the members of the legislature who prom ised to abide by the votes of the peo ple on the senatorial situation, dij so to gain votes for their own particular candidacy. There Is no denying the fact that many legislative candidates took the pledge because they believed ' it was the wise political thing to do, and not because they had faith in the principle. In other words they consid ered the sentiment for Statement No. 1 so strong that it would have been folly for them to decline to subscribe to it fearing that defeat would result i It fallows then that the men who seek further political honors will not risk the future by refusing to stand public and by the Statement, once they are pledged. They do not believe In party supremacy to the extent of placing it cm the Bime plane Hi political ex pediency. The office is the main thing. Success at the polls is the primary consideration other things come af ter. Many Republicans, with blighted Judgment, poohooed the Idea of Chamberlain's election or indorsement by the people, notwithstanding the fact that the majority party had nomi nated a man who wa3 not a vote-getter, as it proved. Many of these men were, and are, we presume, sincere in their devotion to Statement No. 1. They would not leave It If they could, and there are others who could not forsake it if they would. The direct primary law, as it stands SS. During the past week Governor Hughes of New York has been re-nominated for the gubernatorial chair and thereby all political prognostications of the Empire State have been upset, the political bosses put to rout, the Deonle of that commonwealth have achieved a triumph over machine rule and graft, and most notable of all has been brought to light ' the master stroke of the present presidential cam paign. The victory of Hughes has brought out President Roosevelt as the most astute politician of past gen erations and present. Through the brilliancy of the Hughes victory the searchlight of the guiding Roosevelt has shone steady and unmistakable. The Hughes victory not only was a vital point locally but was the most Important point In the presidential battle. Roosevelt had decreed that Hughes and "a square deal," which were synonymous, were what the peo ple of New York State wanted. The political bosses had decided that they wouldn't have Hughes. He couldn't be "handled." If by the power of their machine they could defeat Hughes, by the same token It meant that Roosevelt's candidate, Taft, would receive a body blow in the diversion of the New York vote. So the New York situation presented a formidable front for the President and bis fol-1 lowers. It meant much to turn and j his policies. ( Readers at large are more or less familiar wltn tne uriuiani career ui y,jjpMll. Charles Evans Hughes, and his pub lic efforts to advance the cause of the wipe out the pernicious system of political cnicanery acknow ledged to exist in New York, but few except those who have closely follow ed the situation are aware how much of an Influence the President has ex erted In this Important political bat tle from its Inception, and how even now, on the verge of his retirement from the presidential arena, his per sonality, his character, and the prin ciples he has advocated have left their mark on his native state. Although In history his career will be recorded as that of a statesman, results would show that Roosevelt has been as good If not a better politician than a statesman. For the first time in Amarican history he has presented the picture of all the traditions of old line party leaders being smashed by a President who has gone over the is well known that a board has been at work for some time on the question of the reorganization of tho Army. This board has been Instructed to render a report to tho chief executive which will be submitted to him before he writes his. message. Tho Increase In the land forces Is said to be due to the predominant opinion existing lu the general staff of the army that the I'nlted States should always be pre pared to mobilize one complete army corps and one Independent cavalry division without emptying every mili tary station aud abruptly breaking up the peace system of organization and administration. In his last annual report Major-General J. Franklin Bell, who is the President's chief military adviser, suggested the addition of ten regiments of Infantry. tvo regiments of field artillery and a reorganization of the cavalry.
