Tho Times will bo pleased to pub

quosttona of publlo Interest. Each
letter must bo signed by tho wrltor,
and so far as posslblo bo limited to
U0 words. In publishing thcio lot
tors It must bo understood that The

a means for tho voicing of dltferont
opinions on all questions affoctlng
(bo public welfare.
ituiii:,
MAJORITY OH MIXOIMTY
WHICH?
Kdltor Times:
In tho national campaign now on
shall tho majority rule tho minority,
or tho minority rule tho majority?
That Is thu question. Shall 11 ma
jority of tho voters rulo tho Repub
lican party, or shall a majority of
tho politicians nnd offlco liolile-s
rulo thu Hcpubllcan party? Which?
Can a minority In tho Hcpubllcnu
party drive tho majority of thu foldn,
or, falling In this, will thla minority
be able to forco nn nccoptnuco upon
tho majority of tho party of their
mothoda and policies?
I do not euro to anawor In detnll
tho foregoing questions. Time and
apacu forbids. However, a fow po
tluent facta, standing out In bold re
lief, briefly may bo conaldcri'd with
profit. Election results In tho pi,,
mnry states clearly show thnt Col
onel ItooBOvelt' 1b pre-eminently tho
strongest man In tho Republican
party; that ho still enjoys tho dis
tinction of holding tho confidence of
the rank and file of the party, who
constltuto nn overwhelming majority
of tho party voters.
Thu criticism urged by a part of
the Republican press, to tho effect
thnt sluro Tnft lendora offered l-i
seat tho Itnonovolt dologntcs from
Toxiih nnd Wnahlngtnn, on condition
Hint ho (Itoosevolt) would Join with
thu Tnft forces In nominating Ilud
loy or Bomo other man, nnd thr.t
IIoobovoU'h refusal to concurr In thla
plan, Indicated Holflfllinoas, etc., on
the pnrt of tho latter, Is not well
tnken.
If tho render will keep In mini
tho fnct thnt It Is now nnd wns then
tho political Hlogan of tho Taft men.
"nnythlng to bent Uoosovolt," tho
actions and motives of tho Tnft lend
ers will ho Illuminated' by tholr pro
poBola to seat tho HoobovoU dele
gates from Texas nnd Washington
nnd nnmlnnto n third man. Unci
either of theso plnns boon concurred
In by RooBevolt, iimlnr existing clr
cuniRtancos, It would linvo meant po
litical denth to him. Why? 1K.
caiiso under tho proposition tondorod
It wnB necessary for him to wnlvo hla
rights to theso dologates In order to
have hla dolegntes Rented ns thy
were Juatry entitled. This net with
in Itself would hnvo humlllnted him
nnd destroyed his Influonco, nnd tho
cnuso of progressiva republicanism
would hnvo lost his vnluahlo Influ
ence. It would hnvo been n clenr
tnlvor of rights lu order to secure
Justice.
We hear much about party regu
larity. It must bo truo thnt tho ma
jority lu a party controls nud dotoi
mines Its regularity; not a majority
of the politicians, but n majority of
tno votors. Tho majority of voton
should namo tho nomlnoo for Presi
dent, aud not a majority of politi
cians and offlco holders. It haa boen
clearly shown that Uoosovolt has a
big majority of tho votors with him.
Ho should bo tho Republican stand
ard bouror, nnd, In truthand In
fact, tbo rlfhtful nomlneo of tho Re
publican pnrty.
Tnft la tho bononclnry under n
fraudulent transaction. In theory
and practlco under tho law fraud vit
iates everything It touches. Tho
Roosevelt Republicans, lu tho light
of tho presldontlnl primaries, aro in
tho majority and therefore I Insist
that they aro tho "regulars."
Thoro wore 44 contested dologates
from Washington nud Texas which
tho Taft men offered to Bent under
tho specification heretofore men
tioned. Changing theso dologates
from tho Tnft to tho Roosevolf col
umn would hnvo nominated Rooso-volt.
Progressive Republicans do not
want Taft. They do not want to
voto for Wilson, the representative
of tho party of Jackson and Clevo
lnnd, the pnrty of state rights and
of tariff for revenue only. Colonel
Wntterson said that Wilson Is too
much of a schoolmaster, while Col
onel Hrynn mnao mo ooservniion
thnt Wilson's sudden change of hert
townrds reform was without a para
llel since tho days of Saul of TnrauH.
The progressive Republicans of
Oregon will gladly support tho Btnto
nnd county tickets. No Taft. no Wil
son nnd no third pnrty If It can he
avoided.
Wo cannot passively look on ana
see our progressive leader eliminated
from the field of American politics.
We will need him In tho future. We
need him now. On account of hW
great personality and magic Influ
ence he Is tho most valuable asset to
the cause of progressive republican
ism. With Roosevelt out of the
fight, Tnft would have had smooiu
sailing In the Chicago convention.
Tho progressives need his leader
ship nnd Bhould not a jotowW234
ship and should not allow tho reac
tionary press and lenders to doposo
him. ThoHo leaders today gladly ac
cept Wilson In preference to Roobij
velt. Why? On account of tho re..
ord of thu two men, and for no oth
er renson..
Wo have had eight years of Rooso
voltlsm. Wo know what ho is and
therefore want liltn again. Wo nave
had four yearB of Tnftlam and wo
know what ho la and thoroforo do
not want him ngaln.
For eight years RoobovoU' has bosn
thu Idol of tho American heart.
Now, without cause, shall wo turn
upon him nnd rond him and crucify
him? As a pcoplo do wo bollovo In
prulslug nnd Idolizing a man ono day
and, without cnuso, on the next day
curno nnd damn him? Hy a sonsa
tlunnl npoctuclo of thin kind wo
would hardly be ahlo to enlist tha
reBpect nnd ndmlratlon of tho civi
lized untlons of tho world. Shall wo
Lntlnlzo nnd Mcxlcnnlza tho great
North American lcpubllo lu this
mnnuor?

THK OLD SONG
PnsBcd a sod-houso ylstaday
An I rodo 'round Custer way,
An' I hcorn n womnn sing
Sweot as birds In early spring.
Nothln' fancy 'bout tho song,
Thnt alio sung as I wont 'long,
Hut It kind o' tochod my honrt
Almos' mndo tho tear drops start.
Hadn't hoorn that song boforo
Senco I loft my fathor's door,
Whoro my old folks usod to stand
Slngin' that old "Doulnh Land."
Whllo alio sung, I seemed to seo
All tho old things, (jonr to mo,
Seen tho old-tlmo boyhood days
Thro' tho years o' mist nnd hnzo.
Seen tho old cnmp-nieotln' ground,
Whoro us boyH was standln' 'round,
Llstonln' to n hnppy band
Slngin' old "Sweot Boulnh Land."
Then' I thought of motbor's prayer,
As alio kneeled bestdo hor chair,
Tollln' Him ns lives above,
How sho's thankful for Ills lovo.
Kind o' think that good old song,
Never dono nobody wrong,
Soems to sort o tako your hand,
Leadln' you to "Doulah Land."
