Representative Tawney, chair
man of the house committee on
, appropriations, ( makes when he
attempts to lay the Bins ot the last
session of congress, on . the Demo-
cratlq minority. . It Is like a big boy
laying a fault that was principally
hia on his much smallei' brother, and
trying to shift the punishment upon
him. ' '

majority In both houses. It could

Congress has been in session ; six
months; there, has been plenty of
time, r For whatever that was done
that should not have been done, and
for whatever was not! done r that
should have been, done, the Repub
lican party. Insofar as parties are to
be i 'taken Into the reckoning, is
wholly responsible, ; the- Democratic
party not at all. ,Yet Mr., Tawney
"arraigns' the Democratic minority,
This is childish; it is even contempt
i Mr- Tawney 's" Complaint Is about
too largo appropriations, for which
- he says the Democrats are to blame.
Very likely a great of. money has
been squandered; there has been no
effort at retrenchment or, economy
where it might have been practised,
but this Is not what the people are
uuxiiyituiuufi avuuw -,v ,iuc aic uvt
greatly concerned over the expend
iture of a hundred millions, more
or les. But what they are aroused
and Indignant about Is that congress
neglected - and refused to pass any
. of the laws especially demanded by
i no people, ana repeaieaiy urgea ny
President Roosevelt. Mr. Tawney
cannot divert the public mind from
these matters. There are more than
a dozen long black marks against
this congress on account of these re
jected measures, and th$ people are
not going to forget them next fall.
( ;Mr.' Tawney , censures the 1 Demo
crats for filibustering, but he does
not tell why they filibustered. It
was to try to force the majority to
pass a few of these needed and de
manded measures. Mr. Williams
more than once announced that if
the majority would consent to take
up and consider four or five of the
"president's policy" measures the fil
ibustering would cease. But to this
Cannon and Ills lieutenants would
s or consent.-
What the people of the country
should try to do is not so much to
elect Democratic instead of Repub
lican congressmen as to fciect a lot
of men. Republicans especially, of a
different kind, men who would dare
to do and insist on doing what the
people want done. And the first
thing tho next house ought to do,
if it has a Republican majority, is
to , elect some other speaker than
Cannon, some broad-minded, prog
ressive, patriotic man. Cannon ia
doing the country many more mil
lions worth of .damage every year
than congress squanders.
No matter about their party, Jthey
are pledged to obey the people; that

THE JAPANESE POINT OF VIEW"""

Ijos Angeles May 27.--Wherever Japanese subjects live under the American
flag; from. Honolulu eastward to penyer,' from Pufcet sound southward to Io
Angeles, .there ts conflict between occidental and oriental civilisations. The
Japanese point of view in looking upon this oonteat is entirely different from
that of the white man. The white man is faithful to believe that his form
of civilisation la superior In every way to that of the orient, and he brooks
no interference with the working nut of his creed. The Japanese, as represent
ing the orient, believes as firmly in the moral superiority of his - form of

WHAT STATEMENT NO. 1 MEANS.
STATEMENT : NO. 1 embodies
and focalizes a great principle,
a presently paramount issue
. , rule-of the people Instead of
rule by the politicians. Surely the
people of Oregon; have had enough
of the. latter; surely they should in
overwhelming numbers embrace this
opportunity to substitute and make
ortain and emphatic the former.
The Oregonian is sarcastic, scorn-,
ful, bitter against Statement No. l.
It calls that pledge the "Holy State
ment," and more elncerely "rubbish,"
snd in varied terms Vents its spleen
and scorn at it. But what does
Statement No. 1 mean? Simply,
