Suppose it were decided to do this, and under sufficient power bonds for building state rail roads were put upon the market, it Is evident that the people of Oregon could furnish all the money re quired for that purpose with only a fraction of their present bank de posits, and not a dollar of outside ' money would be needed. The peo , pie ,of Oregon can work out their . own transportation salvation, and raise the railroad incubus that has . so long oppressed them, If they choose to do so, and will work to gether for that purpose. We do not now go to the extent of advocating such action, but be lieve it is a matter that should be thought of, considered and discussed throughout the state. In union there I Is strength, and the people of Oregon, 11 united, can accomplish great things for the state. There are indications that the Harrlman grip will have to give way here and there to other trail road powers, as it had to down the Columbia to Hill, but there is ' alp yet no assurance that be cannot continue for years yet to keep the rrfcater portion of Oregon in Its prasent railroadless condition. . . .

This Is a matter of far more Importance than parity politics resenting a million and a half of voters who have no more power of selection or choice than so many sheep. It may be possible that the two candidates are fit and worthy men; and that one Republican and one Democrat should be chosen by com mon consent Is well; but the bosses who selected them are not fit to select a Justice of the peace for Spuyten Duyvll precinct, or a Judge of anything above a dog fight. They are using their political machines wholly for purposes inimical to the people's Interests, and it is not safe to allow such men to pick out Jus tices of the highest court of the Btate, or of any other court.

The Republican convention could do few things better calculated to increase the distrust of that party among the people than to throw out La Follette and his delegates oh this ground. They did this in 1904, and while it then made no difference In the general result It made La Fol lette supreme, as the people's ex ponent and champion rather than a party's, in Wisconsin; and what happened in Wisconsin is going to happen in other states, as men like him arise who wUl clearly and sure ly, serve the people rather than a people-working party. knows Stand up for Oregon ana ner lnmuu "u " i K unnla will make mistakes. that the cost Of living has gone OO I Even legisToturea to whose unre- Increasing steadily, and good teach- :in,.cToDreUa1r fo desire tl rSurn-ha". am o m ontitln4 i in miutt mistakes.

In view of its attitude on the subject of public ownership of cer tain public utilities It fight against popular government logically follows. 1-or some time past the Times has been ridiculing what It terms the 'whimsies" of "freaky" Oregon. From this time forth or at least unti It is forced by an overwhelming public sentiment to HUHiiuun us campaign It may be de pended upon to heap all sorts of ridi cule and abuse upon these ideas of government and upon those chiefly responsible for the propaganda ln Cali fornia. But in the end the Times, as well ns all other newsnaners whlrh are making light of what Is bound to become a powerful and successful pub lic movement, will bow to the will of the people.
