Portland, June To thai Editor of
'"The Journal I. wish -to call your-espe-'

. Oregonian. under date of June , seeks
' to east upon 'the intelligence of the
voters of Oregon, wherein It says:. "Of

never seen such an, example aa that of
Monday. (A) Urge proportion pf the

what he represented, but because they
liked him." . .. -
The Oregonian -glvea the -voters of
the state credit with being-' the moat
eccentric and wayward in the political
' history ofthe state, and accuses them
of lacking both principle and purpose

Three Theories About, Wealth, v
From the Atlantic Monthly.
Why there ahould ba hard-working
poor men and idle rich men in the
same community Is a question which
no one haa answered, and no one can
answer satisfactorily. That . Is why
the opinion ..is so" prevalent that tha
world, economically considered. Is so
very much out of joint But although
there la so much unanimity In the opin
ion that, wealth ought nof to ba dis
tributed' as It now la, there la atlll a
wide diversity of opinions where there
leany definite opinion at all, as to how
it really ought to be divided.
Thesei opinions may, however," be re
duoed lo three fuo dam totally distinct
theories, which I ahall calPThe aflata

arlstocrstlc theory la that tba good
things of the world belong more par
ticularly to certain groupe a classes
than to others by virtue or some cir
cumstance connected wHh their birtn
or heredity, and independently of their
Individual achievements. The social
