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.

itch disappears, and continued appli
