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.

case of the People versus the Inter-

pire of products and plenty. She
seamed this vast stretch of territory
with two great water coun.es, 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 la at
this gateway of nature. It Is a con
dltlon that lays Incomparable oppor
tunity and prestige at the feet of
Portland.
But It is not the end. Esau lost
his birthright. 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?
Few fields of endeavor offer
greater opportunity for reform. The
thousands who have paid their sav
lngs 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-
archs of frenzied insurance in po
litical debauchery are tell-tale his
tory. The far lower rates at which
raternal societies carry risks and
pay losses are suggestive testimony.
The costly palaces and feudal man
sions or insurance kings are lllumln
also have a right to a share in It, I
to the "unearned Increment."
It is at least doubtful if the
owners of real estate should be al
lowed thus to tie it up for a century,
and from generation to generation.

Small Farmers Needed.
From the Woodburn Independent
A cannery Is needed in Woodburn. It
Is not only a shame, but a crime that so
much fruit la allowed to go to waste.
and that so much acreage Is not mads
more profitable. Give us a large num
ber of small tracts and a cannery, and
Woodburn. would prosper as she has
never prospered before. A family on
every five or ten acres means some
thing to Woodburn, and a family pros
pering on every five or ten acres on ac
count of a cannery taking the fruit,
peas, corn, etc, means much for this

seriously considered by those who have
