ENATOR FULTON writes The
Journal froin Washinton, say
Ing there la no prospect for aid
by this congress for the pur
I chase of the Oregon City locks and
- J the opening of the Willamette river
to free navigation. His letter ap-
peared In full In Sunday's Journal
Explaining why congress will not
act he says: "But yon must under
stand that the house of representa-
: tires Is bo organised that a few men
l: determine whether or not such bills
;: shall be brought in, and they have
t determined at this time that no river
and harbor bill shall be brought in
: at this session." Commenting fur
ther, la his letter, Senator Fulton
! says: ' "Ours Is not the only state in
' which rlrer and harbor improve
; merits are deemed important. Two
thirds of the states In the union are
- Interested in such work."
I Senator Fulton's statement will
try the patience of Oregon people.
' What they hoped for was, not ex
, planations, but government aid for
their waterways. Of al, the years of
- late the coming one would have been
Jbe one in which cheaper labor and
more of it, cheaper material and
', more of it would have been available.
; It would have been the year pre
k eminent In which to have secured
the most improvement for the least
cost. Improvement, not only of the
' Willamette, but of all the great Co
' . lnmbla system, could have been
; prosecuted with far greater celerity
and at greatly reduced expense. It
i would have been economy for con-
! gress and deliverance for Oregon
Ordinary business sagacity would
1 have provided for the work now,
' bnt. congress will not. It is presi
dentlal year and a campaign issue la
' wanted by a few leaders. For that
' state development is to be sacrificed
. and material progress throughout
the country to be held up. It mat-
ters sot that the railroads have been
unable for years to handle the trans
portation and that inland water de
velopment is imminently essential for
handling the traffic. It matters not
that the president, the rivers and
harbors congress, the governors of
. . states and a united press have
. pleaded for $50,000,000 from this
congress for the Inland waterways.
Nothing matters when congressional
bosses see fit to play party politics.
It Is a bitter disappointment and la
' withal an excuseless and insane piece
of business.
, Senator Fulton says two thirds of
the states want appropriations for in
' land waterways. He adds that a few
, men in congress determine whether
Appropriations shall or shall not be
brought forward. Why do not the
two thirds kick these few congres
sional bosses from their pedestals
and conduct the country's legislation
On a freemen's basis, wherein a con-
gresBman will be a congressman, a
senator a senator, and not all be lit

been $15,000,000; and that if
enough pick and shovel men can be
obtained it will reach $16,000,000
this year, whereas with the number
of men on hand it will run down
to $6,000,000.
The Journal gives these state
ments for whatever they may be
worth but it looks as. if they were
worth inquiring into by men out of
a Job, If they can arrange to get into
the Tanana country. We suspect
that there may be labor union
troubles up there, and steamship
companies operating from Seattle
may be. trying, as. they have done
before, to work up a traveling boom;
but, as we say, the situation seems
worth investigating.
NOT NOW A PARTY QUESTION.
T
HERE is nothing at issue be
tween the parties In the pri
mary nominations in April
The Republican party nom
inates its candidates; the Democratic
party nominates its candidates. It
is only after these nominations are
made that voters can be consistently
asked to consider party at all. The
only question lor them in the April
primaries is: Which candidate of
our party 6hall I vote for? Whether
Republicans as such should be
elected or beaten in JuneU not a
matter to be thought of now, except
Insofar as a voter desires naturally
to nominate the stronger men of his
party among the primary candidates
He has also to consider the sens
torial question, but only In its gen
eral aspect, to-wit: Do I wlBh sena
tors in effect elected by the people,
or by the legislature? If he desires
senators elected by the people, then
be will choose such primary candi
dates, if any, as have subscribed to
Statement No. 1, in preference to
those who do not subscribe to that
statement.' If on the contrary he
desires that the old method of elec-
lng senators shall be revived, he
will vote for candidates, if any, who
will not make Statement No. 1. Of
course other considerations may af
fect his choice but this is the "para
mount issue" in the primaries.
Whether Mr. Fulton or .Mr. Cake
shall succeed In the primaries, and
whether Governor Chamberlain may
beat whichever one who succeeds in
June, are not now pertinent quee
tlons. The question Is: Do the
voters want to elect their senators
themselves, not leaving it to the
pulling and hauling politicians? If
they do, they will vote foe Statement
No. 1 men only, both In the Republi
can and Democratic primaries.

HE SEATTLE TIMES one day
last week made an important
if authentic announcement
and that paper vouches for its
truth. It was that 5,000 men were

district in Alaska by mine owners.
who were offering $5 a day wages.
The Times gives the names of sev
eral Fairbanks mine owners who
'were in Seattle and vouched for
; their representations. They made
the following statement to the
Times:
There are row needed 6,000 additional

N THE OPINION of The Journal.
the Marlon county friends of
Senator Fulton have made a
grave political blunder. They
have taken an indefensible position
and thrown down the gauntlet. In
a formal meeting, and by the slen
derest majority, they have gone on
record as unalterably opposed to se
lection of senator by the people
through Statement No. 1. That, in
Itself, is an extraordinary proceed
lng, but they did more. They burned
their bridges behind them by openly
declaring war on legislative candl
dates who favor the plan. They are
to be admired for their frankness,
but not for their discretion.
The consequences are certain to
be unfortunate for Senator Fulton's
candidacy. Whether or not the ac
tion of his Marlon county supporters
was with or without his consent, it
draws Senator Fulton into an atti
tude of armed hostility to a plan
of electing senator that has been
tried with conspicuous success, and
that has the unqualified approval
of a great majority of the people of
the state. It is a plan that was
enacted Into law through the votes
of the rank and file Republicans of
Oregon. It has eliminated senatorial
deadlocks that were the bane of Ore
gon Republicanism which were a
chief factor In dividing and demoral
izing the Republican party. It has
contributed much to the elimination
of the factional strife and bitterness
that split the party asunder, and
kept it rent and torn for 30 years.
It, and the law of which it is an
important part, has delivered the
party from the domination of bosses
and politicians, who had done so
much to destroy it, and placed its
control in the hands of the Republi
can masses.
. To undertake to tear down the
new system and restore the old boss
regime, as the Marlon county friends
of Senator Fulton have undertaken
to do, is a character of action that
cannot, in view of the past, meet
with the approval of the masses of
the Republican party. It will be
very certain to drive away from him
very many who would otherwise
have been supporters of Senator
Fulton. They will hold, and with
sound judgment, that it is better
to sacrifice a mere man than a
principle. Tbey have clamored for
this direct choice ef senator for
years, and, now that the have it,
they will want to preserve It. They
wm reason that the welfare of the
state, the welfare of the Republi
can' party, and their own right of
selecting a senator Is of vastly more
Importance than whether or not Mr.
ruiton is to be returned to the sen
ate; They will look upon the Marlon
county propaganda a. a brazen as
sault upon their new found right
of electing senator,- and as Indicat
