Samuel Moffett, in Colliers' Week ly. outlines a vital policy for the re union of the liberal forces In Ameri can politics, and points a way by which it seems possible for democra cy to triumph in the future. Union of forces is the remedy he proposes, and in the following brief review, he writes a democratic plat form sufficient for a campaign: The question of “loyalty" has no proper place in party relations, he says. A party is a voluntary associa- - tion of citizens who think that certain policies are best for the country. A citizen who does not believe these policies best naturally ceases to act with the party. A party that depends on discipline instead of on conviction to keep its members tn line is in a bad way. What the democracy needs is a body of genuine principles, in • which it honestly believes and upon which it can make an intelligent ap peal to the judgment of the country. In boldly taking the liberal plunge, the democrats would have this fact to reassure them: The liberal party in a modem country is normally the majority party; the conservative party is normally in the minority. This is so from the very nature of things, because the people who profit by the abuses which it is the mission of a conservative party to maintain are necessarily few in comparison with those who suffer from those abuses. The conservative party may often win elections by good organization, skilful leadership, money, and oppo sition blunders, but it never rests on the broad base of popular sympathy and confidence. The republicans have been a mi nority party in this country ever since the close of the civil war period. They were a minority party in 1194. when a million gold democrats let them into power on a single tempor ary issue. They are a minority party today, and Theodore Roosevelt, not withstanding the fact that he has re ceived the votes of hundreds of thous ands of citizens who have no sympa thy with his political associations, is a minority president. The democrats, populists, and so cialists, all anti-republican elements, could have beaten him easily if their forces had not been divided. What the democracy needs is to find some way of combining most of the citizens who are traveling in the same direction and to cut loose from those who want to travel somewhere else. no higher, no iilaaner. no mors ties tree partisan blindness instead of purifying moral conditions and exer cising their ballots for the accom plishment of reforms which they de mand In private, the Idaho women embraced the evils and voted their ticket. It has lost them many a staunch friend of equal suffrage. They have not made good their claims of political purity._____________ Desertion of families is coining to be one of the commonest crimes on the calendar, and Oregon has no law for the adequate punishment of the wretches guilty of it. Half the vic tims of the reform schools. poor houses and aid societies, come from the desertion of a family by either a brutal father or mother. The fami ly does not suffer this crime alone. It becomes a burden on the state, in creases taxes by making more de pendents upon public charity. and has a demoralizing effect on society. It is too easy tor heartless beasts to shake off the parental responsibility. It is too easy tor shallow lunatics to wed. bring their swarms of brats into the world and then unload them on the tender mercies of the community. It is too easy for giggling girls to elope with some penniless and brain less "masher," against the protest of parents and friends. When the delu sion and the novelty passes away, this giggling girl either deserts a family or is herself deserted, and the enrollment in the poor house, the re form school and the charitable insti tution is increased. The community must rear the offspring of folly. Nothing short of five years imprison ment should be given tor desertion of a family. Several Pendleton churches are preparing to bring able evangelists to the city tor a period of spiritual work during the winter. A few of those who are interested are hesitat ing. in doubt as to whether the city is ready tor such work. Do the forces of evil ever stop to ask if the time is propitious for the spread of evil influence? Do they hesitate to begin their work at any hour of the night or day? With equal zeal and mul tiplied energy, the forces of morality and righteous government should de cide instantly that all times are aus picious times for the beginning of a crusade against immorality. law breaking and social evils. The forces of evil never sleep. Should the moral element in the community ever be off guard ? Should they ever relax, ever ask if the hour is propitious? It is a fact, though lamented, that the rapid spread of wrong is made while the forces of right are hesitating, wondering, debating. Wrong never sleeps; all times are its chosen times for work. The same watchful, sleep less vigilance must be exercised to offset it. and gain ground upon it. Of the >7909 necessary to complete the bronze statue of Sacajawea at the Lewis and Clark exposition, but J7V9 has so tar been raise.l. The women of the Northwest undertook this task and while they have made a com mendable effort, yet they are far from the goal! The sculptress has about completed the model for the figure; the copper has been spupplied from the mines of Idaho.—by a pretty co incidence this copper comes from ledges lying perhaps across the very trail she followed in leading Lewis and Clark through the labyrinth of the Bitter Roots! The effort must not fail of fruition. The Lewis and Clark fair will be an index to the enterprise and spirit of the people of the West, and the women of "Old Oregon" must exhibit the indomita ble spirit that Is native to them. In accomplishing in the highest degree, this task undertaken by them! Sac- ajawea, the woman who delivered Oregon into the hands of the Intrepid explorers, must be fittingly honored. It will not be such an easy matter to get rid of the local option law. The people who passed It by the Ini tiative, can alone change it or re peal It, by the referendum, after first securing the permission of the legis lature to hold an election on the law. A law so passed by the people can not be toyed with by the legislature. The people alone can change at and they must have the consent of the legislature to put It to a vote for amendment or repeal. In order to se cure a vote the people must petition the legislature to permit such a vote. The initiative and referendum imend- ment provides that laws pass**<l by the people are beyond the reach of the legislature, except in cases where the public health, peace or safety Is involved. Ml DK I A TOR YET The Morning Tribune, of thia city, in its extremity of partisan narrow ness. says, in an effort to upplnud President Roosevelt, that the presi dent expects to tukv an active part In the election of United States senators in several different states this win ter. The president would severely re buke such sentiment, were It enter tained by any considerable number of people. He is too Intelligent. too broad. too much of an American to foster for an instant such a policy. This sentiment Is one of the re J flames of political anarchy. mor • dangerous than Herr Most's wildest dream of freedom, that flashes up in all civilized governments at times, ex hibiting an insane partisan fanati cism. that would be pitiable were It not perilous. Such an interference by the chief executive in the affairs of a stale would be resented bitterly by the peo ple. The president of the United Stales, under the present constitu tion. is the servant, not the dictator of the people. The stales have re- -erved certain Inalienable rights, cer tain principles of self-government guaranteed under the constitution which no president can usurp or set aside! Going ba> k to first principles, it must be admitted that the selection >f United States senators by legisla tures is wrong and subversive of pop ular rights. Hut to permit the selec tion of senators by dictation of a president would be Immeasurably more unjust and un-American. It is disgusting to think of a pres ident of the United States descending from that exalted position in the machinery' of the government to mix in luirtisan politics, to besmirch the •ffice by engaging In a factional brawl In Oregon. Montana or New Jersey. In the selection of a United States senator. Like any other private citizen the president can discourage political dis honesty by voice and pen; but he must remember that the people yet .hold their "onstltutional rights, tha. until the people fall to perform their duties the chief executive must not interfere in state affairs—and by all the sacred traditions of popular gov ernment. he certainly must not In terfere as a partisan, using the pow er he holds as a club to force legis latures to do his personal bidding' The United States Is not ready for a dictator. Such sentiment as that expressed by the Tribune shows the willlrgness of a woefully small class of abject partisan slaves to subvert every principle of the constitution to accomplish partisan alms. were «*<lucated in Culhollu «uhool« In I Washington.

It Is sad to see how modern conditions are de stroying that beautiful old quality. A pitifully large proportion of our girls —who certainly regard themselves as good women—actually do not know what modesty is. Of course, they don't realize that they have sacri ficed one of the sweetest charms of their sex—something that would make them more attractive and pret tier If they had it. Modesty Is not timidity, or bashful ness. or coyness, or unsophistication, or prudishness, or coldness. It Is a quality as definite and distinct and as delightful as kindness, or sympa thy. And its manifestation Is unmis takable. It is as lambent as a bright smile. Men recognize It as quickly as they recognize physical charms. And they respect modesty In women as thoroughly as they admire beauty. The modest woman is the one whose manner with men is natural, who does not assume that immodest air of. "Well, gay sir, don't try your tricks on me—I'm mistress of the game and then some!" The Impres sion of that sort of attitude Is a chal lenge. It Is a dare. It amounts to saying it in so many words.—Paul Thleman, In Denver Post. Democrats, populists and socialists all agree that the powers of govern ment ought not to be used to enrich a few at the expense of the many. The populists would go a great deal further, and the socialists further still, but there is no reason why they should not ride on the dem ocratic car as far as It runa But if they should find the car off the track If the public knew what rigid rules and bumping toward the republican are provided for its safety and com terminal, naturally they would see fort by railroad companies, many of no advantage in boarding it. the harsh things would be unspoken.
