A IMi.m A'len COMMON SENSE IN CITY ELECTION Republicans Should Uge It, Then the Result Will Not Be Doubtful Beginning Cn Be M4e Next Month" PORTLAND. May (To the Editor.) During the war between Russia and, Japan an old farmer in Marion County rld his land and moved to Hubbard, re ceiving a sum sufficient to support hlm aelf and wife, provided they practiced ecnnoir.v. wlikh they were prepared to do. Hitherto he had been a subscriber to The Dally Oreftonlan. but discovering: that since , the srocer took the pa-per he ould Bet his regular information there, he discontinued his patronage and there by saved several dollars a year, t'onse quentlv. when the mall arrived each morning about' ! o'clock the retire,! fanner was on hand, at once secured tho arocer's Oresonian and - held it against all corners until the dinner hour arrived. After a month the grocer "got onto" the old man's game and one morning pot the paper aside. The retired agriculturist oon came In and after looking around n the nail keg. the cracker box and the rscales scoop without finding the paper, went home. In the afternoon tie returneu and explained to the grocer that he waa much interested in the fate of Kuropatkin and Inquired what the latest news said of the situation. As the grocer changed a quarter for a customer he replied: "Oh, Kuropatkin is in statu quo." and with a puzzled look the farmer wended his way home. The next day this experience was re peated and In the afternoon he was again told that Kuropatkin was "in statu iuo." The hird day he was compelled to make bis afternoon trip in quest of his informa tion. I'pon being again told by the irc?r. as he jerked the twine in two after Inching tying a paper around three plugs of toha'.co. thai "Kuropetkin is MH1 in statu quo." the farmer Kald: "Now. see here, that's iatin. isn't It?' The grocer said lie believed it was. "Well. replied the farmer. "1 have never had much education and don't know much about Ijatin and 1 want to know what "in statu quo' means.' "Why. It means. ' returned the grocer as he took his Ore' Ionian lrom i;n!er the counter. "In J hll of a fix." Of coi-rae the merit of this Incident lies In the application of It. the conclusion of any nouest observer being that present conditions in Oregon's system of legisla tion and correlated subjects afford well-developed case of "In statu quo" In its most aggravated form. As Lincoln aid In one of his famous ante-bellum speeches, if we could see whitlter we are drifting we could the better provide for the Journey, but. instead, we appear to nave neither compass, chart nor -pilot v. e nave aunng me past few years swung away lrom the tried forms of representative government and are bouncing here and there on the rocks or "nopular government." a system where the meanest hobo who bums and begs for a living has an equal voice in determining vital questions witn the up right and thoughtful student. T. B. Wil cox or W. M. Ladd has no more to say as to the purposes to which the city a millions shall be applied than does Rich ard Roe or John Doe. Thirty or 40 meas ures, each of the greatest importance to the people of Portland, are now before the electorate, and they will be passed upon through the ballot box by thou sands of voters who will not have the lightest Idea, what rhey mean or w bat their effect will be. And they wi.l nol i pretend to know. The difficulty lies In the popular con ception that any lsw which Is proposed j y the Initiative i nei-essarlly a (.ood measure and should be enacted thai II Is a protest against the folly of ll.e Leg islature aud a righteous reproach to the unreliability of the people's representa- tivef.. ro oppose a measure having Its origin through the Initiative process la to associate ones self with the constitu tionally depraved and bopelessly degen erate. It matters not who t lie lo men of the V. fy) voters of the state are. who ar wholly responsible for the form of the proposed law or Its specific provis ions, the fact that It was "-nutated gives it a sacred origin and the man who questions Its merit proclaims himself a machine man and a plotter against "the masses." And here iia Portland we have two avowed Republicans running for Mayor agnlnst the regular nominee of their parti-, for the asserted reason that the primary law. must be upheld at ail hazards, that In their Judgment, when the people declared overwhelmingly at the primary election that they pre ferred a certain man for Mayor, the primary law was trampled upon by the people, of course and that they are candidates purelv that the people may have an opportunity to -uphold the law they so violently and pitilessly scuttled at the polls: These reformers. In other words, hold that the only way to guard the primary law Is to split upon Its re sults and to directly bolt their party's nominee. .And all to show their ad herence to the primary law and In nate hatred of bosslsm! And the Democratic candidate asserts bis Inborn opposition to party govern ment in the direction of a city's af fairs, hence lioprs to see a large diver sion of Republican votes from Mr. r-1-mon. But this vigorous dissenter himself appeared on the Democratic primary ballot as a Democrat, a party man. in -feretitially proclaming to the publlo thai. If elected, he would give the city a Democratic administration appeal ing only for Democratic votes, for wbr should a man who prefers to publlcly announce himself as a Democrat on the primary ballot expect to receive Re publican votes either then or at the election following? Why run as a Democrat for the nomination and aa a Democrat at the June election If a Democratic administration Is not to be the result of success? In other words, why make so pUIn an effort to deceive when the veneer ing ia so palpably transparent? And then we have the blessed recall. It of saintly parentage, t'nder it local turmoil thrives like vegetation In trop ic swamps and private vengeance finds a ready means of satisfaction un der the guise of near aanctlflcatlon. A town with 100 voters haa two fac tions. One of them electa Its officers and they are inslaflcd. The vote stood a majority of two. The defeated fac tion In a little while secures the sup port of a half dozen members of its successful opponents, soured through rallure to receive recognition in the distribution of official plums, the re call is ordered and the officers are all dethroned a revolution follows. lo cal conditions are unsettled. Ill feel ing exists, order Is turned Into chaos and. under the operation of the "new SVSIem." tt-e liMie rile finds Itself con spicuous 1 and helplessly n statu q uo." If common sn-e Is to prevail In the approaching citv election the Re publicana will unitedly support the Re publican candidates those who r.av been nominated under the operation of ll.e direct primary law. That -measure an be upheld In no other way neither can the Republican party In either city or s;ate. The Republican who weakly masquerades as an Independent candidate on the ground that he must Ignore the results of the primary elec. lion In order to defend the life of the primary law. aas-w-nes a position so grotesquely absurd and painfully ego tistical that be should receive no inn. port whatever, wl lle the Itemocrat who Is running as a fiemwrit and. there, fore, prefers to appeal to voters on ac count of his Democratic principles, but who pitifully cries out against the selection of Mr. Simon, because his suc cess would Install a Republican admin istration, should without delay have Ills head bored for the simples. If the people of Oregon are ever to emerge from this "In statu quo" condi tion of cunf-i1on worse, can! ounded. a beginning should be made right h-re In Portland nxt month by the over whelming election of the Republican candidates, cl.osen under the fair and orderly operation of the direct primary law. riOXKKll RKPI'BLICAN. LABOR AGITATOR ARRESTED Mart-k. Mom Violent or Kirnch Ora tors. arird Ofr to Jail. PARIS. Mac ;j tSpecial.t Something like consternation was caused at lha headquarters of rhe (JeneraJ Confedera tion of laibor. on tne receipt of the news that M. Mar. k. the treasurer or this rev-, olutlonary organization, had been arrest ed on account of a violent speech he de livered at Rouen. M. Mar. k. haa gained a reputation ss a hampion strike leadsr. Kven "King" PaLaud does not surpass him In oratorical violence. Marrk waa In great form at Rouen. Ha allowed himself to be carried away by his oratory. Among the audience waa the Police rotmnljiary. who considered "that some of the orator's remarks were not In keeping with the law. He therefor consulted with bis chiefs, snd as a result Mart k s arrest was decided on. After the warrant was issued policemen went In search of Mink, and found him In a cafe. He was arrested at - o'clock In tha morning. Just aa be was preparing to start for the railway station. The committee of the General Confed eration of Labor is convinced tbat Marrk haa been arreid simply aa a pretext to enable the police to poke tbetr noa Into the confederation's affairs. "If he la kept under arrest we shall fitl his place " sav the members of the committee. "We shall not be intimidated by such measures."
