'HAT does It mean, when, in the face of the late past, the Oregon Ian comes to the front and declares that it is vltt favor of the principle of the ini- tjative and referendam, and of the primary lawf Like a hyena on the enhancement of the cost of neces saries for the benefit of monopolists could be stopped. The principal ob ject of government at all times should be to afford the best possl ble chance to the masses of tolling people of small means, but this ob ject seems to have been forgotten by many people la high places. The situation, according to many reports, is improving, Is much bet ter than it was a few weeks ago, and we think will continue to Improve; but this improvement ought to be aided by all who have it in their power to do ao, especially those who might profitably employ labor that they are not employing. Locally, the situation is more satisfactory than In most cities. Most men in Portland who really want work can find It. A good deal of development the better authority. As general proposition we would accept the statements of the men he names rn preference to those of the "Model License League," thongh thla organ ization claimed ia ita circular to give official figures, and we suppose that as far as they went they were correct But they were selected figures, most ly of state statistics, which The Jour nal Is not able to verify, and It was careful In the editorial mentioned not to vouch for them.

T IS estimated that there are 1,200,000 unemployed people in tne country, about half of them la the larger cities. While this majr be an exaggerated statement, w ttbe situation presents a grave prob- "lem, that should engage the earnest , .' attention of ,Btatesmen, publicists, and other people of influence. It is impossible, of course, for them, or , ior aumonue ot any or all kinds, to furtilsh" employment to all appll cants, jor even, directly, to many . more' than ;tho regular or normal ' number of necessary employes; yet - ,lt does not follow that nothing can be done by the civil authorities,' na tional, state and city, to increase the .opportunities for the working classes. Less extravagance Iff certain direct "tlons would leave more money to be n sod ita public works and improve- cents; there could' be a more equit- done likewise. Each party has just the. chance its voting strength enti tles It to. The minority party's can didate may be a stronger man among the people, but as a party man he has no advantage by this system that he wonld not have under the old system. If a good many voters of the majority party should happen to prefer the minority party s candi date, that Is the Individual business and privilege of each. Mr. Hlcln botham may think it his duty to vote for his party's candidate; lf so, let him perform that duty and no one should object; but lf his ordinarily Republican neighbor should think It his duty to vote for the other party b candidate, neither has anyone a right to object. Let the people deciae Be tween the two candidates and take this business out of the hands of the legislature. This is what Statement No. 1 means. , . Let us repeat: In the June elec tion there is but one Republican running against one Democrat. The Republican Tote wllf not necessarily be any more split up than the DemO cratlc vote, because of the 1 new method. Our Clackamas county , friend says "we should submit to the stronger party." . Very well; but let the people decide. In the case of sen ator as well as in other cases, which is , the stronger party, also which candidate is the . better man of the two for the place. - "i" A' If the Republican oarty really wishes by the trusts Immediately afterwarda. to "trust the people," it will make such a changes in the laws governing tne ap- Senator Fulton will be asked some plication of these two features as to en- embarrassing questions on his attltud able the people, not a partv. to register -nnccrnlna- Statement No. 1.

The gathering thread is then drawn up until it ia tha exact length of upper edge of tuck, and the thread Is held In place by winding It around the different plna.
