REPUBLICAN OREGON. The Morning Astorian, along with every other Republican paper in the state, deplores the level to which the party has lowered itself. Had it fal len there, through sheer battle with an opponent anywhere near its might and mettle, there would be infinitely less regret and shame in the ugly pre mise; but, with a dominance, backed by a standard and actual majority of 30,000 for years past, it has been riven with factional feuds and local lapses, until it has sacrificed its supremacy to the "pottage" that came with treachery, stultification and practical dissolution. Its voice and mandate fall innocuous upon the blunted con science and consciousness of the dis integrated voter and the ring of its vibrant command is lost in the sibi lant whisper of the sneaking "deal", and the swish of the party knife; with-. out line, form, or leadership it drifts, ! derelict and desperate, in the sea it once ruled unquestioned and with superb success. It is a shameful spectacle of the abuse of a splendid prerogative; and calls for the best, and instant, wis dom and energies of its really honest and manful leaders, in the interest of re-organization, unity, and direction to that great climax of power and uni ty from which it deceded when the goal was plainly in view. That it is has trafficked shamelessly with the enemy and given him an un breakable clutch upon its strength and advantage; that it has dickered and squandered its heritage aban doned its place and prestige to the meanest of its own brood and the ad roit of the opposition, does not, even yet, leave it without a rallying cry and rallying point: the hour is pro pitious for a splendid effort at restora tion and re-alignment; the bitter dis appointment of party men all over the state can be assuaged only by such a call, coming, not from interested leaders with selfish ends to serve, but from the men of brains and character and proven worth, to whom the Re publican party of Oregon means some thing beside a vehicle for the market ing of office, and appointment, and political swapping generally. The tentative leaderships of the hour are not remotely authoritative; they are but implied, and subsist only upon the prestige of a once acknow ledged precedence and confidence; there is not a man in the state to speak with the sanction and commis sion of the rank and file; no man to voice its policies nor hint its pro grams. Even the recent county and state conventions were barren of direct and dominant authority and ex pression of the Republican party as such, and the work and choices wrought are accepted tatcitly, through the rule of custom rather than from any concrete partisan command or major choice. It behooves the avowed leaders in Oregon to move with extraordinary caution, lest they transcend the silent, unguessed will of the members of that party, and commit it to grosser evils than it now stands for. The assump tion is broadly made and declared that the State of Oregon through its Re publican leaders has pinned its faith to William H. Taft for the Presid ency, when, as a matter of fact, Mr. Taft would be a myth and misnomer, if by the impusle of events, the name of Roosevelt should again be pre sented to the country; and there is the same untoward and unauthorized line of action and argument in the issue of the Senatorship. The people have spoken, in so far as they may speak, for the nomination and election of H. M. Cake; and it may be well to conserve the expressed will of the party, disrupted as it is, in so grave a matter as this. He is the only man in line today who can claim the direct partisan influence and endorsment so far as Republican Oregon has signi fied its wishes in this relation; and with that backing he must be treated with the consideration that is his due in the premise. The people have a fashion of asserting themselves in re prisal for deliberate and arbitrary flouting of their commands and they have been known to do it even when party lines were worse confused than they are at this time. In view of the tremendous neces sity for the rehabilitation of the Re publican party in this state, it were the better part of prudence to begin on the popular level and find out what the people want, primarily, before lay ing out the programs and reciting the preferences of the alleged leaders; to cut loose from the bald affiliations now in force with the opposit'on, and clear the party of all contracts and obligations that have contributed to its entaughncnt and spoliation, and take those steps that will emphasize the fact that it has not lost its own existence utterly nor its faith in that existance. It must find new work to do and new men to do it; those who have been tried have been found want ing; and it must go to its reserve sources of brains and honor and high purpose, for the qualities of guidance and influence that shall lead it back to that recognized and commanding pre-eminence it has, for the time, forsworn. At this stage of planting operations it is no poetic license to speak of the golden orb of day. The month of May has always pos I as the vestibule of June. It is also the cistern and reservoir. The farmers are patiently waiting to show that sunshine and prosperity are practically the same thing. FLYING MACHINES. Progress of Inventions., Penanent Testing Grounds.

The rest is easy. A contemporary asks where is the West. It is hard to say, with corn 7 cents a bushel on the sunset side of the Mississippi. A lecturer in Boston declared that our whole system of government is tterly antiquated and inadequate. He is supposed to be an escaped naval critic. J he several committees to be ap pointed this year to notify presidential candidates of their nomination will not have to do any research work in locating Esopus.
