SINGING THE SAME OLD SONG
1 . ' ' '
i HE Republican state central, committee, or the
fragment, of jt which assembled Jast week in
ForUand -adopted a platform, in wh ith it en
dorsed the national- Republitan platform adopted in Chi
cago, 1904, and then went -on to-eongratulate tie coun-

began under the' wise mnd beneficient administration of
'public affairs' by a Republican president and a Repub

. AID FOR SAN FRANCISCO FROM ABROAD.' -
gTHINrrrTIIEAtn,HORlTlSia1t
-rncisccTind those hr -charge of reliefwork
are quite justified In accepting donations from
abroad, even though the president declined to accept aid
offered TiiTforeTgn governments. The Canadian govern
ment appropriated $100,000, and on the jiresident'jjrefusal
to accept it put it . aside with the. expressed hope that
bpportunityjnight be found to apply it to the needs of
the stricken city, and Japan hasttendered a lberardona

he took, that our government as such could accept no
giftr-even-as a mere-trutee--or intermediaryr-but-San
Francisco is not bound by his declination, and may ac
cept aid from whatever source it comes.
' This Is not the first time British subjects. have mani
fested a neighborly spirit In such a case. In 1871 Can
ada sent to Chicago, after the great fire there, a total of
$153,46Zr a much greater sum relative to Canadfs pop
ulation and wealtlvthan it would be now, England also
sent Chicago $435,023, of which London contributed
$316,198;" ScotTand sent $7S,000rlreland $74,000, and far
away British India $2,325. . . Altogether our British cous
ins aided Chicago to the extent of nearly" $1,000,000,' and
doubtless are as willing to help relieve San"JijnciscQ,
Ant-re-&tnr peoples
And why not? Americans have.ialwaysbeenfore-!
most 4n aiding the distressed of other countries-lrcland,
Russia, Japan, India and elsewhere and we venture the
assertion that no city was more prompt or liberal in do
ing this than Sarr Francisco. That city can accept aid
from whatever source without any sacrifice of due pride
or dignity. ; The whole. world knows that there are no
more independent, self reliant, generous people on earth
than they, btrtHn the presence of such a calamity.as has
befallen them they must have help, and lots of it.
THE WHY AND THE WHEREFORE.
CONSIDERABLE number.of changes have taken
' place in the management of our evening con
Jemporary within . the last, six months... Why I
Because the pace set by The Journal has forced ex
penses upon the evening edition of the Oregoniaa far
beyond its incomer with the-resnlt-that it was a '"losing
proposition" which set up .a pain, in certain financial
stomachs that was altogether unbearable. '
-r- On the other hand The Journal became a "paying in
stitution" six months sgo, and The Journal's books are
open to anybody for proof of It, and continue to be. So
it behooved the aforesaid afflicted gentlemen to look
around forivlgtir.for theif. jfternoon lieeCwUh tliei
result that they went down into their millionaires-oart-

It 1 not beet for a country to hav
so many people who are Ignorant of

I do not believe that ' women . will
have any' mora -difficulty . in. finding
