CAKE, late Repub lican committee chairman and manager of the city cam paign last spring. Is reported l , . ; a alluding to tho result of that mu- niclpal election and saying: "It Is ' time to get out, aa we should hare . gotten out last summer. We will , hare the old tight on for sheriff. ' Gentlemen, I ask you to support every nominee who Is chosen by the . nominating committee. We have ',thre ,TOtes to iheir one; why not ' elect our nominee?" , Mr. Cake is a very Intelligent man, .... yet It seems that he and others :; whose sentiments he no doubt ex pressed Is slow to learn by expe rience, Many Republicans did not ' support the head of the municipal ticket last year because they be lieved the saloons and the "lnter- , ests" were for him, and they cared nothing about party in a municipal election. So, as he cays, the Repub lican candidate for sheriff was al- most defeated because Word had done Ills duty as no previous sheriff -' bad, and a great many Republicans cared .nothing about party In a v county' election. - : Now these Republicans and we ex pect mote with them will adhere to , that position; they care nothing for ", " party as against , men and local in- fluences in a local election; and . they are not going to be either coaxed or scourged back "Into line" la .the- name of party, , ,' " There' is a" primary law, Intended . lo provide a way for the voters to nominate their own candidates and a Terr large proportion of Republican voters like that primary law, see its . importance, t and are not going to give it up. Yet Mr. Cake, after last i jear'a disastrous experience with ob etlnate Republicans, hopes that they v will all "support every nominee chosen by the nominating commlt- 1 tee.' 'But thejprlmary law provides for ' no " "nominating committee. -What II nominating committee but ' a. machine? Jpoes Mr. Cake imagine ' that the Republicans of this county ara going to stand for and unitedly ' support all the nominees of a ma chine? If so, "we think he will be about as badly disappointed as he - ' was last June. The whole effort is one to get "v away from, evade and undermine the primary law and revert to the machine method. The platform. restored. Thereupon - the railroads refused to accept lumber for eastern shipment at all. In consequence of all this, not only the big mills bare suffered much loss of business, but many small mills have been put out of business. Many mill owners bave been financially ruined or crippled and thousands of laboring men, most of them with families to support. were thrown "out of employment This one case alone was suffi cient for congress, if it had the service of the people In mind or in heart, to have Impelled the passage of this amendment through both houses within three days. It needed no long debate; it is manifest to everybody but a railroad president, attorney or tool that railroads should not be permitted to do such a thing unless authorized by the rate reEulating power of the land. We take ltv for granted that Senator Ful ton offered the amendment in good faith and desires Its passage thoueh we cannot know. But the senate, It is indicated, will not even let It come to light. Or If it does, it will be at so late a date that it cannot get through. And this Is only one instance of many showing how the railroads and trusts and great corporations, instead of the people, are served by congress. Yet there are persons and newspapers who would have the people take no heed or action, but leave everything to their legislators. rir hnth aM. of tha ouestlon. them Is that the leaden In congress p .

The court, speaking through Justice Brewer, takes the broad ground that women are phys ically different from men and their highest duties and functions are en tirely different, especially in the mat ter of Maternity, and that therefore such a law does not violate the con stitutional guaranty of individual liberty, as such a law might If It applied to men. He Incidentally approves the recent New York de cision that a law limiting the hours of bakers Is unconstitutional, be cause bakers are or may be men, to whom the reasons for sustaining the Oregon law do not apply. In effect, the court says that society has a right to protect women from exces sive hours of labor, especially stand ing labor, purely because they are Women and child bearers. Women naturally and necessarily look to men, the physically stronger crea tures, for protection, and the good of the race, considering the future, requires that the statute-law con form to the natural law. The logic and doctrine of the court are sound and right, yet we are not sure that fathers as well as mothers do not need the law s protection against over-labor, though In a less degree. The maternity argument seems to us unanswerable, but should It not apply, to some extent, to paternity as well? The good of the race requires strong, healthy, bope ful, vigorous fathers as well as mothers. Women admittedly, and for obvious reasons, need more pro leaders who have made repeated pestiess must De destroyed failures In hop shipments. Again In regard to a union, The Journal favors the idea.

This amendment is that railroads cannot raise rates without the consent of the interstate com- merce commission, and it was first suggested as an obviously reason- sion thereof of some 20,000 Repub Hcan votersajof Multnomah county, none of whom but four or five haveJ had any hand or voice In framing it, and two thirds of whom may dis agree with parts of it. Isn't it a No one familiar with the trend of popular sentiment will believe that the platform adopted by the Repub lican "mass meeting" In this city last Saturday reflects the attitude of the Republican voters of the county toward Statement No. 1. It was in no sense a representative body, the rank and file of the party having taken no part in the selection of the J?Late8. . Its platlgrra. was. a feeb compromise between the minority, who advocated Statement No, 1, and the majority, who favored either the "modified" statement or an abso lutely unpledged legislature. The Hodsoh-Balley-Beach combination backed by the remnants of the old machine, made a desperate effort to secure assent to their scheme of sending an unpledged delegation to Salem next winter, but In this they failed. A few more such "victories' as this for the foeB of Statement No. 1 will put them hors du combat. George Meredith, the eminent English novelist and poet, who re cently celebrated his eightieth birth day. Is reported as saying that men should die, would better die, at 65 This is treated and commented on seriously, though it must have been said, If at all, facetiously; if not, it only shows that Meredith has passed into his second childhood. Some men would as well die at 65, or younger, some at 25; but on the other hand one could hunt up hun dreds of names of men and women who have been actively useful and enjoying life very well after they were 65, or even 70, or 75. Some did their best work and some passed their happiest days after they were 65.

The rates on lumber bad 1een tn existence for years and the railroads had found them satisfactory to themselves, and , as the evidence afterward showed, very profitable. But perceiving that '; certain large lumber shippers were making a good , deal of money, the r railroads suddenly discovered that the - ratea were too low and made a raise of 10 cents per 100 pounds.

BEACH. . The Referendum. Medford, Or., Feb. 28. To the Editor of The Journal A considerable portion of the Oregonlan's editorial page of the 17th Inst was devoted to facetious com ment on the proposed application of the referendum to decisions of the courts. An editorial of the New York Sun la quoted therein under headlines of ap parent disapproval, but the perusal of the Oregonlan "leader" convinces one mat its editor shares tha mtivIkHhhi of the Sun writer on the subject. It is perfectly clear, of course, that Attorney w. W.
