FLATFORMS AND PARTIES.
"T
'HERE Is little difference,"
says a contemporary, be
tween the tariff planks of
the Ohio Republican and the
Nebraska Democratic platform: in
deed, it claims, there is but little es-
- sentlal difference between the plat
forms throughout. "Substantially
they declare for the same things, and
the voter in choosing must look to
the men and historic Impulses behind
the platforms rather than to the
documents themselves." Then this
contemporary jumps back, as usual,
50 years, to the time before the war,
for a comparison of the two parties.
We have nothing to say in favor
( of the Democratic party's record dur
ing or since the war. It haa had but
. 'slight, brief chance to make any rec-;
- ord. and most of that was nothing to
brag on. And it is also true that a
large and hitherto Influential and
sometimes controlling element of the
Democratic party has been and la at
enmity with the people's Interests,
and In virulent opposition to Bryan
and all that he advocates and repre
sents. Several so-called Democratic
eastern papers represent not the
modern, progressive Democracy at
all, but the plutocratic, privilege-
grasping, monopoly-seeking element
of the Democratic party. But these
people and newspapers are no longer
Democratic, and cannot make them-
. selves so by" Mng -themselves that
name. They are essentially Republl
cans or the Aiaricii or lsikins or Tor-
akertype,.:They belong, politically,
with the anti-Roosevelt Republicans;
Chancellor Day speaks their sentl
. ments exactly. It Is a silly pretense
to continue to call these men and
newspapers Democratic. And when
Bryan said the Democratic party was
now well united, he left them out
He does not expect nor desire their
support, and has said so. He Bald

ocrat, But the real, sifted-out,

cerely forf enuine, thorough tariff

; There Is no doubt that Bryan and
other like Democrats mean just what
they say when they put forth a plat
form, and If put in power would
carry out neTr promises To fhVlefc
E
ter as far as possible
But when a Republican conven
tion -professes tariff reform, what
does it amount to? How can we
: trust this matter to that party? In
stead of jumping back to the "his
toric" record of the parties, from 40
to 100 years back, let ns look at the
-record from 40 years ago down to
-the-present time, and doing so we
find that the present outrageous tar
iff, and all other abuses and lnequal
., ltles complained of, have grown up
under and been actively approved
by the Republican party. And even
the" great reforming, regenerating
leader, halt Republican and half
Democrat, Theodore Roosevelt, has
never' since he became president
; urged. tariff reform; and he favors
ship subsidies. If Taft then Is going
to be a close Imitation of Roosevelt,
and carry 4ut his policies strictly,
- will he urge tariff reform, though

VKRY time some demented or
degenerate enthusiast, whether
an anarchist or not, or whether
he knows what anarchy means
or not, kills or attempts to kill torn
official or prominent person in this
country, there is a country-wide out
cry against anarchists and demand
for their extermination or total ex
clusion. The spirit and Intent of this
outcry and demand are well enough
and nearly everybody sympathizes
with thejo. but on. reflection anarchy.
as a belief, a principle, a political
philosophy, cannot be either extir
pated or excluded. When a man,
foreigner or native, violates any of
our laws, commits any crime, in con
sequence of his belief, he can be
handled. If it be known that an
immigrant Is an anarchist who be
lieves In aftSAftRlnatlng rulers, he can
be refused admission, or deported.
But he must have a record of crime
or be known to contemplate or be
lieve in crime before this can be
done, and how can this be discovered
in the recesses of an immigrant's
brain?
After all, what have anarchists
done in this country, if we except the
Haymarket riot la Chicago? Booth,
who assassinated Lincoln, was not
an anarchist, nor were his co-conspirators.
Qulteau, who fatally (on ac
count of doctor's blunders, perhaps)
shot Garfield, was not an anarchist
but a crack-brained fellow who had
failed to get a position and thought
Oonkling had been wronged. Czol-
goss was a species of anarchist, per
haps, but he was, so far as known,
connected with no organization or
society, and bad no confederates or
prompting in his murder of McKln
ley. He was more insane than nine
tenths of the murderers are who are
acquitted on that ground. The man
who killed Mayor Harrison was not
an anarchist, but a disappointed job
hunter. Th boy who tried to kill
Chief of Police Shippy was probably
an anarchist, but he was Just over
from Russia, where, we Americans
are Inclined to think, anarchy In ac
tion is rather a virtue than a crime.
This young fellow was a dangerous
fool, and it he had confederates they
should be hunted out and punished
along with him; but this incident
scarcely furnishes occasion for all
the talk and writing that have been
indulged in about the anarchists.
Aren't they mostly imaginary?
The president Is and as he con
ducts himself can be but Insecurely

take no precaution, use no means ot
protection, and none of them are
killed, or only one in 'several years
out of the thousands of them, by
anarchists. If there were great
bands or blood-thirsty anarchists In
this country would they not get in
their work oftener? If they bave
organizations in many cities for the
purpose of murdering officers they
could kill 100 of them any day.
. Anarchy Is a theory that there is
no need of government, and that all
government if "oppressive and wrong,
coaling vessels were foreign and not
American ships. Both conceptions
are so absurd that It would seem im
possible for any one outside of a
lunatic asylum to entertain them. He
thinks the fleet now safe for a little
while, but he wonders and Is thank
ful that ft has not been destroyed
because American ships are not sub
sidized. He hourly expected, for
many days, that Japan, over-night.
wou Id send a fleet across the Pa
cific, without an American soul
knowing anything about it, and de
stroy our fleet utterly. This immi
nent danger.could have been averted,
as future dangers may be, by having
only subsidized American colliers, as
well as merchant and mall-carrying
ships. It Is no wonder the hard-
headed, sane Minnesota voters turned
this crazy man out of congress. Pos
sibly in his present office be can do

There should be no need for Jew
Uh rabbis to protest that their race
ought not to bear any blame because
Lazarus Averbach, who sought to
kill Chief of Polloe Shippy, was one
of them. He Is a narrow-minded
person indeed who would censure a
whole race or people because one ot
them was a criminal anarchist. If
any persons on earth have an excuse
for being destructive anarchists in
their own country it is the Jews in
Russia, yet unless In sheer physical
self-defense they are careful to obey
the laws and keep the peace. And
everybody knows that the Jews in
this country are almost Invariably
among its most law abiding citizens.
At the rate which it is proposed to
charge for the private fire alarm
boxes, the desired franchise, if the
system should come into general use,
would be a mine of wealth to the
owners. If it is a good thing, that
the people need, the proposed rate
would seem far too high, and at any
rate the franchise should be reason
ably taxed, in proportion to the in
come it yields. There should be no
more giving away of franchises or
granting of them for trifling pecu
niary consideration. The fire de
partment officials, however, are op
posed to the system and their opin
ion is to be given due consideration.
This is untenable, visionary, in our
present state of civilization; but to
believe so, and to speculate upon the
condition of society were government
entirely abolished is no crime, and
cannot be made a crime, for these
are thoughts, and it is only acts that
can be punished. We think an an
archist Impractical, foolish for
wearvlne himself thinking of the im
possible as though it were possible;
but we don't hate him on that ac
count. The theoretical anarchist has
as much right to his thoughts and
speculations as you have, and from
a speculative, theoretical point of
view his ideas are entertaining and
innocent. One theoretical anarchist
out of many ponders the impossible
too much and tries to make his
theory practical by killing somebody,
Then he ceases to be a philosopher
and becomes a criminal fool, like this
Chicago youth. And- some, like the
late Herr Most and the unlovely
Emma Goldman, talk too much and
need repression. But for the most
part your theoretical anarchist, like
his brother at the other end of the
sociological scale, the socialist, Is
a quiet, Inoffensive and often a
scholarly fellow, who would scarcely
kill a mouse.
Don't mistake; we make no apol
ogy for anarchy in action; it must be
punished. But Instances of it are
rare, and there is no prevention of
them, any more than the authorities
can prevent fellows "In love" from
murdering girls who refuse to marry
them

Mr. J. T Fording says that "State

publicans to do that which the
masses do not wish to do " This Is
a discovery, indeed. Mr. Fording
has put his horse in the stall with
his tall to the manger. Quite con
trary to his assertion. Statement No.
1 is "a plan to coerce" members of
the legislature, Republicans and
Democrats, to do exactly the partlcu
lar thing, as to election of senator,
that the masses "wish to do," or
have done. Mr. Fording should rub
his optics open and discover where
he Is at.
The alarm of settlers on S. P
lands over the Fulton land forfeiture
resolution seems to have been with
out sufficient cause, though quite
excusable. The authorities on whom
we have to depend for explanation
say that under that resolution or as
a result of any action that may be
taken, actual settlers who have made
Improvements and established homes
on tracts of railroad land will not be
disturbed. But will not the railroad
company require them to pay for
their own Improvements? The bust
ness needs close watching and care
ful handling.-
There is a persistent effort in
Washington to establish a press cen
sorship, and It is astonishing that
the scheme finds as much support as
it does. The reason probably is that
many members of congress are angry
at the press for its criticisms of their
derelictions and acts of misrepresen
tation of the people. What is pro
posed would render the American
press less free than It is in any coun
try except Russia. It might be a
good thing for the law to pass; that
would be the last of congressmen
who voted for It, and the law would
hang itself.

In a very ludicrous position. 11 us ex
amine ror a moment tneir piatiorm ana
their argument. First, their argument
lias bean that Statement No. l was un
constitutional, as It compelled the legis
lator to vote for a candidate for United
States senator who was not of his own
chooslnar: second, that the candidate
elected would not represent the choice
of the majority of the voters. They
have now adopted a platform stating
that the candidate shall pledge himself
to vote for the Rppubllcan receiving the
laraeat number or votes at tne xtepuD-
tlcan primaries. It Is quite evident hat
to oina tne canaiaate 10 von ior a tie
publican Is strictly within the letter
and meaning of the constitution, hut to
bind him to support the choice or tne
majority or the voters at tne general
election would be uvn worse than a
violation of the constitution. It would
be "high treason!" As to their second
argument, that the senator elected
would not be the choice of a majority of
the voters.. There are already three
candidates for United States senator to
come before the Republican primaries,
and It Is very likely there will be sev
eral others before the time i expires for
filing announcements. We have about
90,000 legal voters In the stats of Ore
gon, about 65,000 of these are classed
with the Republican party. In case
there -Are five candidates for nomination
for United States senator at the Repub
lican primaries Jt would be safe to say
that the man who received 12,000 votes
would be the Republican nominee. In
that case the party who received less
than one-seventh of the votes cast in
the state would be declared United
States senator In case our represents
ives and senators were bound by the
Republican platform. Does not their
fallacious argument prove conclusively
that the leading Republicans or bosses
have some sinister motive In doing
away with Statement No. 1 which they
do not care to disclose to the oommon
voters'?

From the Sllverton Sllvertonlan-Appeal
( Kep. )
The direct primary law has given the
people of Oregon Just what has long
been desired, but It transpired, after a
fair trial, that It Is not Just what the
bosses anticipated and consequently not
what they want. In view of this fact
hey are making a- strenuous effort to
overthrow the law and Statement No.
1. It eems that those who are lending
their efforts In the conspiracy are more
noisy than numerous, and there Is little
danger of a change in later years as a
result of their present efforts. A ma
jority of those who are now opposing
the present system were in favor or it
wo years ago ana araentiy supported
he measure, but they have seen It
akes the power out of the hands of a
few and places It with the people and
now they manifest disappointment.
Does It look reasonable that the vot
ers of Oregon or any other state for the
matter of that, should let the bosses
furnish us with out party platform, our
party faith and our party nominees for
public office? Under the law they
themselves enacted Republican beliefs
and opinions have expurgated all the
evil conditions of the old system, and
the people yes party want it to stand.
No Republican loyal to his party and
to hi country will sanction a movement
by which polities may be restored to
the machine as a business and graft.
They havs had an opportunity of seeing
tne corruptness in mil tmo m ""
