Corner The Indian s Held From leve lopi He Must Get Fair Play 'VERY thoughtful student that the INDIAN POSSESSES EVERY ABILITY AND CAPACITY FOR DEVELOPMENT and that he is capable of any attainment possible for men provided his environment is made normal. This postulates that the Indian is equal in inherent capacity and therefore NOT AN INFERIOR. Many mistakes and much misery have been produced by dogmatically as serting the contrary. Hampered by a false environment and artificial social conditions, though necessary to restrain him, the Indian has' found it DIFFI CULT TO DEVELOP ALONG NORMAL LINES. The edu cation, civilization and incentive came from without and not from within. The INDIAN IS A CAPABLE; USEFUL AMERICAN when he is permitted to be. There can be little doubt that the ma jority of Atnericans'desire justice and progress for the Indian. Americans, as a rule, believe in FAIR PLAY. As the law stands this is now difficult to give. An uncertain and indetermined status makes it possible for dishonest interests to prey upon the In dian so affected. There has often been the lack of fair play and often no redress, The LAW BLOCKS THE WAY. THE INDIAN HAS NEVER BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEARCHING SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY. BASIC CAUSES FOR CONDITIONS HAVE NEVER BEEN STUDIED; HENCE THE "PROBLEM" THERE MUST BE A NEW BEGINNING. SCIENTIFIC SYSTEM MUST SUPPLANT DISORDER. 1 i 1 1 i j ! i I : , j -- ' : - .. I ! die. The normal majority of more than 1,000,000 which it has had in re cent presidential elections does not avail when a bolting candidate takes away two or three times as many votes from it. . This menace confront ed the Republicans ever since the new party nominated Col. Roosevelt in the national convention which took place in August. The only uncertainty as to the result rested on the doubt as to whether Roosevelt would poll more than 1,000,000 votes, or less. Under the conditions which pre vailed in the canvass which just ended a weaker man than Wilson on the Dem ocratic ticket would have won. Bryan who was left far behind in three campaigns, would have swept the country had he been nominated. Al though Clark was a much weaker man with the people than any other per son who figured with any prominence in the balloting at Baltimore, if he had obtained the candidacy, he. prob ably would have won a big majority of the electoral votes which were gathered in by the Democrats. Only by division in the Republican ranks could the Democrats have had the faintest chance to succeed this year. Wilson is a man of ability and char acter, against whom nothing of con sequence can be said except that he will probably be under the control of the junta of his party in the House j and Senate. About practical politics he knows little, and cares less. Despite the large margin which Wilson will have in the electoral col lege, it is not a victory over which the Democrats can do much boasting. They squeeze in by reason of a bolt in the Republican party, and captur ed some states which were Republi can in many recent campaigns and which will be Republican in 1916. Whenever the Republican party is united, it has a clear majority of the people. This is the lesson of half a century of history. In 1884 and 1892, By ARTHUR C. PARKER.

The Big Fight Was Called Off In v PERPETRATED BY WALT AcDOUGALL '. .fe A A-LU 'v-,ii 4 5 HAVE BP the only occasions since 1856 when the Democrats carried the country for president, the Republicans failed to cast their normal vote. Mugwaump ery in tne former year and apathy in the latter defeated them. Except in 1896, when they lost thousands of sil ver men and gained thousands , of Democrats on that issue, the Republi cans entered every campaign since 1892 with a fair degree of unity, and hence they have carried the country. Though the Republicans are defeated, they are not dispirited. Knowing that they are powerless to elect anybody themselves, the bolters of 1912 will be back in the Republican ranks be for the next general line-up of the parties. Then the series of Republi can triumphs will be resumed. TELEGRAPH COMPANY PLANS INSURANCE OF EMPLOYES C. F.

Three of the important county offices county judge, assessor and sheriff, are filled by Democrats. Mr. Harding has always been a staunch Democrat but never held a political office. He came to Oregon City several years before the civil war, and when President Lincoln made a call for troops, Mr. Harding was one of the first to offer his ser vices. He is a member of Meade Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and has held about all the important offices in the post. Mr. Harding was one of the organizers of the electric light company which first manufact ured electric light from power from the Willamette Falls. The company later passed into the control of the Portland' Railway, Light & Power Company. He has always been one of the most progressive and public spirited citizens in the county, and aside from conducting his drug busi ness, he is a director of the Bank of Oregon City, a leading member of the Commercial Club, a director of the Oregon City Schools, and is identified with several other organizations. He rendered valuable service to the Dem ocracy of the county on various oc casions by allowing the use of his name for office when the party can didates had no chance of winning. Mr Cooke served two terms as sheriff and was a candidate for mayor two years ago. He has always sup ported the nominees of the party and has aided them in other ways Mr Cooke is connected with the hardware store of Wilson & Cooke. T P Randall, who is the present postmaster, probably will hold' on tor two years and a half when his term expires. ' - Dickens' Gay Clothes. We were walking down Wellington street. Strand, and just passing the of fice of Household Words, when a han som cab stopped, and out stepped a gayly dressed gentleman. His bright green waistcoat, vivid scarlet tie and pale lavender trousers would have been noticed by any one. but the size of the nosegay In his buttonhole riveted my attention, .for it was a regular flower garden. My father stopped and intro duced me. and 1. who had orfly seen engravings of the Maclise portrait and a very handsome head in my mother's photograph album, was astonished to find myself shaking bands with the great novelist, Charles Dickens.
