DEFEAT AWAITS THE LOYAL CANDIDATE. DIS- W HAT IS wanted in Oregon is a candidate for senator with penetration enough to see the handwriting on the wall. Defeat, swift and sure, stares in the face the candidate who proposes to Ignore or abridge any part of the Oregon primary law. For the man who defends and upholds that law la Its every part, victory will be as . sure and swift. The lesson of Mr. Bourne Is too recent and too remarkable to hare been forgotten. But one asset, and j one alone, is responsible for his spec- taenlar and wholly unexpected eleva- 1 tlon to the senatorshlp. In every thing but one he was a senatorial i Impossibility. No man, anywhere or , at any time, ever entered a senatorial race mor completely handicapped He had been notoriously disloyal to his party In Oregon, and every Re- . publican knew it. He had been " leading figure in the most notorious legislative hold-up that had ever .taken place in Oregon. He was one of the last of men from the stand- ' point of character and reputed cal iber to whom the people of the state would have turned as desirable sen atorial timber. These, and many other embarrassing handicaps, made , ' hls candidacy almost a hopeless un- dertaklng. But be won. He won, and has since In manyways, redeemed the reputa tlon that was so charred and tar nished when be appeared on the hori zon as a senatorial candidate. He won, and his capital championship of statement number one In the Ore gon primary law was the shibboleth ' that gave him victory. To the re r, potest districts of Oregon he carried the campaign for direct election of . senator, and his answer came back In the election returns. Everywhere -there was a ready response to his appeals for loyalty to the law by men who are tired of legislative selection ; of senator, tired of rowdyism and ; riot at Salem, tired of bosslsm and .- machines, tired of the swagger and strut of politicians, and they turned the scale in his favor, Just as they will turn it again for the next de fender of the primary law. What does this fragment of the past mean? Does not history, espe cially political history, repeat itself? Are not the people bent on direct election, and a purified senate at Washington? Oregon woolen goods already made and other Oregon-made products, too. The made-ln-Oregon Idea should be kept to the front. POLITICAL PARTIES. G WOOLEN MILLS NEEDED. W ALLOW A COUNTY'S wool clip this year amounted, ac cording to one of the local papers, to 1,600,000 pounds; a stated by another, to 2,000,000 pounds. This wool Is shipped by a branch railroad to the main line at La Grande, and la thence carried to Boston, freight being paid on the dirt and grease, amounting to two thirds of the weight of the unscoured fleeces; and the woolen goods that ' Wallowa county people use are shipped back from Boston or some other eastern manufacturing center, and Bold, with several profits added to the manufacturer's price, to the people of Wallowa county. This is an old story, and applies to other places as well as to Wallowa county, but It la in order to reiterate on frequent occasions the question: Why doesn't local capital, of which there Is now plenty in all parts of Oregon for this purpose, build more woolen mills? Oregon-made woolens could be aold at a higher profit than eastern manufacturers receive, and yet at a. less cost to the people, be cause most of the freight expense both ways could be eliminated and a Wholesaler's profit on the goods besides. , . Wallowa county produces excellent grades of wool; water power is abun i da nt; though the farming industry is Increasing there, the wool-growing industry will always be a large and Important one;- and the papers up there are well Justified In urging the , establishment of one or, more wool- ootrlnx vnd .woolen ratlls. .. AndLTielded to the browbeating of Roose- OVBRNOR CHAMBERLAIN having made a remark to the effect that President Roosevelt was a good deal of a Democrat, and that on most propositions he and Bryan were In agreement, there has been a good deal of effort put forth in certain quarters to refute the statement and to show that the Dem ocratic and Republican parties are as wide apart and divided by as deep a chasm as ever, and that Roosevelt and ,Bryan are equally separated. The assumption that Roosevelt is a typical Republican leader Is as yet unwarranted. On some points he may pass for a Republican; on others he Is nearer a Democrat, and In ac cord with Bryan. In nearly all he has done In the case of the People versus the Inter ests, Roosevelt has gone against the policy, practices, purposes and prin cipal leaders of his party. He Is openly or secretly opposed by a large proportion of the leaders, and many others are following and hurrahing for him merely because they see he Is popular, with no genuine sympathy with his boasted policies. The arguments adduced to show that the two parties are inherently and necessarily as different and an tagonistic as black and white are mouldy with bourbonlsm. There Is enough truth In them to serve as a foundation for sophistry, but the fact Is that party has become a good deal of a humbug. There Is no great national Issue today upon which the people are sharply divided Into two opposing and hostile hosts, the white and the black, the sheep and the goats, as has been represented. If there Is any such Issue it is that of protec tion, and as to that we find multi tudes of Republicans opposed to or dissatisfied with the tariff, while usually a Democrat elected to con gress goes over to protection if thereby he can keep in office or feather his nest. On this Issue, then. the Republican party Is split In two, and the Democratic party Is Infested with traitors and cowards. State Rights: Admit that the trend of Republican party sentiment, following Hamlltonlan theories, Is toward a strongly centralized gov ernment, while the historic Demo cratic Idea, following Jefferson's, is that the federal government should confine Itself strictly to the exercise of delegated powers; but, while some Incidents and events are arousing discussion along this line, there Is as yet no Issue between the parties We take It that not only most Demo crats, but most Republicans, are op posed to the nullification of a state law by a federal Judge's Injunction As to federal control of railroads and other corporations doing an Inter state business, this Is a Roosevelt, not aa yet a Republican, policy; It Is a people's policy; and Bryan, a typi cal, up-to-date Democrat, would. If control falls, go farther and have the government acquire, own and operate the trunk railroads Except In misty, sophistical, ab stract, academical theory, where, then. Is the party Issue here? There Is none, until a specific case arises, and then perhaps Bryan would out Roosevelt Roosevelt, and perhaps Roosevelt's Republican successor would win applause from Judge Parker. Yet our morning contem porary directs Its readers' attention to the resolutions of 179&! "Hark, from the tombs a doleful sound." It argues for a column against Dem ocratic state rights, and in the very next article condemns Federal Judge Prltchard for "lnjunctlng" a state law. It labors toilsomely to uphold abstractly the Republican party, yet is almost violently opposed to that party on the tariff, the only issue, if there Is any, that divides people Into these two parties. The Trusts and Interests: velt, Is dead against It. The Repub lican party will also declare for tariff revision, but nobody can depend on any professions or promises it makes, that If kept would effect reforms, on this subject. How many men who were Demo crats 40, 30, 20, even 10 years ago, are Republicans, at least Roosevelt, temporary Republicans now? Mil lions. How many men who during the last few years have been Repub-i licans may If certain things happen or others don't happen become Dem ocrats. at least temporarily? Per haps millions. Yet people aro asked to consider the Resolutions of 179S Issues arise with and are shaped by new events and conditions. Parties may for the most part change places as they have in fact changed names Voters will look forward, rather than backward. N BIRTH RIOHT. ATURE CANNOT do all. She placed Portland at the gateway of the Paclflo northwest, and gave her prodigally of oppor tunity. With mountain ranges, she fenced In 250,000 square miles o magnificent territory, and made Portland the true route of egress to the sea and the world. With natural barriers, she made rival cities almost Inaccessible to this northwestern em plre of products and plenty. She seamed this vast stretch of territory with two great water courses, and made Portland their objective point the natural destination and freight depot for all the enormous volume of products that the region may yield She made a law of gravity under which heavy burdens cannot be profitably dragged over mountain chains, and by that token destined the vast volume of products from this Imperial region to flow by gentle decline to the city whose site Is at this gateway of nature. It Is a con dltlon that lays Incomparable oppor tunlty and prestige at the feet of Portland. But it Is not the end. Esau lost his 'lirthright. Opportunity is an asset only when Joined to effort. Portland has a part to play in this original plan of destiny. In con templation of what nature has done for her, Portland has encouragement to do things, and It ought to em bolden her people to action. Her prestige is not a reason for idleness, but for effort. The territory of which she is nature's gateway must be helped and husbanded. Growth of one Is the growth of the other, and the hope of each is self-help. The key to the future majesty of both is the rivers that are so Interwoven with the prestige of Portland and the future of the tributary region. Yet, in spite of 60 years of settle ment, in spite of a traffic congested and blocked by lack of facilities of transportation, In spite of the stu pendously Increased volume of prod ucts that must come down through the Cascade gorge and find distribu tion in Portland or go elsewhere, in spite of the fact that every rival city Is straining to outstrip Portland In the race for commercial supremacy, these magnificent rivers are still ob structed, still but a slender part of the potential asset Into which they can be developed. Shall these rivers be opened and navigated, or shall we lose our birthright? Because they are not pacified by trades and given offices' that they are not fit for or opportunities somehow to graft. If the assumed fact be correct, this Is the reason. But It Is only an assumption. The reelec tion of Chamberlain Is not much evl dence, for he would probably have beaten any Republican that a con vention could have nominated. Wlthycombe ran as well as anybody would. And the same may be said of Dr. Lane. This Is so partly be cause the people of all parties liked their first administrations and partly because the people care less about party than they did formerly. But however that may be, the peo ple are not going to give up the direct primary law very easily at the behest of the politicians and the or gans. The Republican party Is likely to be beaten sure enough If Its lead ers persist In the apparent purpose of some of them to get rid of this law and substitute the old system. NEW DEPARTURE IN LIFE IN SURANCE. T HE OUTCOME of a current ex periment In life Insurance will be watched with interest. The scene Is In Massachusetts, where the savings banks are here after to do the life Insurance, under strict supervision by the state. Few fields of endeavor offer greater opportunity for reform. The thousands who have paid their sav ings Into mushroom Insurance con cerns only to see them vanish like the mists in the morning, are In evi dence. The millions of money of policy-holders, dissipated by mon arch! of frenzied Insurance In po litical debauchery are tell-tale his tory.

T There will be no open, acknowledged issue here, for the Republican party, pounded nearly to pieces by Roose velt, will be forced to declare against Its forty-years' partners, and take substantially the same stand that HE MORNING paper of Portland scarcely makes any disguise lately of Its opposition to the primary law, though 1t does not attack the law straightforwardly and candidly, but by sinister and cynical remarks as to what it will do to the Republican party. Again predicting. with a tone of discouragement and disgust, the defeat of the Republican party in Oregon henceforth, it says: "The primary election law, which creates antagonisms in the primary that are carried on into the election. contributes Its steady forces toward completion of the Job." What is meant by this Is clear enough, though the Oregonlan isn't candid and honest enough to say it out directly, to-wit: "You Republi can leaders and would-be bosses and slate-makers and grafters of high and low degree need to take a tumble and repeal the primary law, or else you will be left out In the cold here after.

The questions or relative values must come to every man. No day dawns twice and It Is a matter of no small moment whether we are living each one to the best advan tage. We compare the returns of our owa lives with the profits that others are making. Each man gets the things for which he Uvea. What are the worth while things and, In the infinite account ing, yea. In the balancing of the books that is going on every day, what are the assets and reserves upon which we may depend? It le a good thing to sit down In quiet once In a while and look over the books. What of all things that go on our ac counts can we truly call our ownT Not the things we possess, but the. things we enjoy, not those to which our names msy be attached but those that perma nently enter our lives, add In sqme way to personality and enrich charaoter. How HUle of all for which we atrlv and give durselves, of all that we count the gain of life, remains If we strike from the account the things we cannot assimilate. We seem as hungry men in desert, painfully Catherine- diamonds for a dinner. That alone is profitable to the life which becomes Dart of tha real self, the esnentlal life. Measured by this standard a new or- der and new values are established aomng men; the rich man still may be ricn or ne may appear poor, indeed, while the poor may be rich: but nelthet the poverty of the one nor the wealth of the other le determined by eua-ht outside himself. Let a man appraise himself In this manner and new content will take the place of old complainings while new as pirations displace old unworthy ambi tions.

Whether this still be true or not It Is true eternally that In the kingdom of the eplrltual In the realm of life every man has equal opportuni ty to find and possess that which can not be stolen or lost of the wealth of life.
