REPUBLI-
pf TOT THE most important reason
I VI why many . Republicans voted
1 tI for Governor Chamberlain for
.eAnfttnrJ vf rtnA that vai wnr.
tny or ana received weir considera
tion as Republicans, was the fact
that though a Democrat he has dur
ing his service as governor appointed
many Republicans to official po
sitions. These appointments have
been displeasing to eome extremely
partisan . Democrats, but reasonable
and liberal J men ' of both parties
should be willing to concede that
they v show the : governor to be
fair.- broadminded man. politically.
lie has repeatedly shown that al-K
though he is a Democrat he recog
nizes jthe fairness and justice of
appointing men ofbDtttpartles Q
official positions, and in making ap
pointments has " always placed ,' the
interests of all the people 1 before
that of his party.
When two circuit court ; judges
were to be appointed some years ago
up the valley, , he appointed one Re
publican and one Democrat, and he
did, the same In Multnomah district
within the past year.t, .iWhen ,a new
district was created in eastern Ore
gon,, he appointed &. judge and dis
trlcti attorney who were both Re-
, publicans, because they seemed to
be the fittest men and thoBe whom
the people wanted. And on numer
ous other occasions he has conferred
responsible ': or honorary positions
upon Republicans. There is no
especial merit in this, for it was the
right thing to do, but some men in
such a position would have been too
partisan and j politically bigoted .to
do so, and Republicans did not for
get that the governor has been fair
to their party". '
This is "only one, and one of the
smaller, views of the governor , which
exhibit him to Republicans as well
as to Democrats as a man who al
ways seeks, to do the right, just
thing,1 to be true to ' the . people's
inieresiTXD3iiiBa;B-puouc erTn:o m
comparably superior to party service.
This Is one of the principal reasons
why bo many Republicans have voted
for him heretofore, and. did so again
yesterday. .",
A CONGRESS OF STUDENTS.
IN THB South ' American city -L of
Montevideo , there has recently
closed one of the notable gather
ings of the young century, ' an
"International congress' of American
university students,"? which resolved
to perpetuate its . being; by periodic
sessions In the' different countries
of ,the western hemisphere, v. Invita
tions had been sent to the universl
ties of North and South America,
and though Secretary Root responded
at a late day hy a, telegram of ap
proval and felIcitatlon to the con
gress, , there was no v, representative
from any educational Institution ' of
these . United States. v
i There may be noted an interest
ing fact of self-assertion among the
young men of the Bchools all from
the Latin American states, who on
sll occasions have spoken of. them
selves as ''American" . students, and
of the members of Our continent as
"North America." J. On one of the
late days of the session the .session
received a telegram signifying the
adhesion of Columbia University, of
New ork .to the Idea ! of the con
gress. There la a general belief
among the students that messages
of Invitation were not received by
our . colleges in time to comply with
the requirements of the affair, -, :
Professor Rodo, of the university
of La Merced of Lima, in a speech
said: "The 'congress ot student Is
as important and valuable in. the
orld'a affairs as any congress of
pages, since , Humanity moves im
pelled by sentiment and the congress
vibrates to the impulses of an ' Am
erican solidarity. I end by toasting
these youths, who carry in the heart
the fire of enthusiasm and in' the
inlnd the inspiration ,of ideals,"
Although this congress wis not at
tended by a delegate from our col
logos it has succeeded .in exciting
nn attention amoor the. educational
iMtitutlonB of the United States. A
fcerls of assen;li!r3 in Cooper Union
pf -w York hm ! i n started by
ITv . ?wr IVT.liam V.. i'iiepherd of
Columbia University, to study the
Latin American republics.' In these
conferences will be studied the
geography, - natural wealth, 1 people,
Lgovernments,, commerce, industries
public! charities, science, literature
and f fine arts in v, those countries
The lectures will be illustrated by
the exhibition Of Illuminated projec
tions of the different . republics, i
The congress appears to ; have
profited somewhat by the example
of "North American" colleges In its
approval of our athletic teams, for
it resolved as follows: UC4
$1 First; the first congress of Am
erican : students 1 esteems necessary
that the institutions of education In
corporate physical exercises in their
plan -of studies. - i,? - s,---:"; ,? ? ;-?
t' - "Second: ' IN Invites the associa
tions of; students to establish sec
tions of these same sports,: and , .
- "Third; it' Invites ; all American
students, to proclaim the advantage
of physical exercises." , .
The president of the congress In
a closing address proposed a final
resolution which 'was enthusiastical
ly received and was as follows;; "The
students of America, for the firt
time n the congress of Montevideo,
incite ; all the Intellectual youth of
the new world that by means of oral
jmd "written I propaganda , and by
actual patriotic pilgrimages to his
toric' sites and glorious tombs, they
tenew perpetually ; the memory of
the : grand - American : names and
cause! to palpitate in every moment
and every hour, the enthusiasm for
the splendid traditions of the Colum
bian countries, noble, nllectual
and stjrong.' '. V :;v :
; If the schools of , instruction of
this western! hemisphere become af
filiated to cultivate the spirit here
Manifested, there will exist on this
side j of the worldi a more glorious

THE TWILIGHT ZONE."
I
N HIS address at the convention
:of govern ora Mr. Bryan said;
,"Thefe Is no twilight sone be
tween the nation and the state
In which exploiting interests can
take i refuge from both,- and my ob
servation is: that most not all, but
most-f-of ; te contentions over the
llne hetween "nation and state are
traceable to predatory corporations
which are ttylng.to shield themselves
from, deserved punishment, or en
deavoring to prevent - needed re
straining legislation.. "s
, i The -expressive) phrase, '."twilight
tone," and Bryan's estimate of it,
brought out an Impromptu epeech
from President Roosevelt, in which
he said: ! 4 ; h.r
Just a iword. of what has been
called the 'twilight land' between the
powers bf the federal and state gov
ernments. I My primary aim in ' the
legislation that I have advocated for
the regulation of the great corpora
tions has been to provide some . ef
fective popular sovereign for each
corporation. I do not wish to keep
this twilight land one of large and
vague boundaries, by judicial- 'de
cision that In a given case the state
cannot act, and then a few years later
by other decisions that in practically
similar cases the nation cannot act
either. I am trying to find out
where, one or the other can act, so
there shall always be some sovereign
powervthat on behalf of the people
can hold every big corporation, every
big . individual,; to an .accountability
so that its or his acts shall be bene
ficial, to the people as a"whole."r:v f
So here are two great leaders
agreed on this question, as In fact
they are on most others of pressing
importance. ' And in this matter it
is well that such leaders agree; It
would be better if lesser and less
patriotic and scrupulous politicians
would also agree with these leaders
It may almost be said that' there
Is no law for the great corporations,
when they violate laws or oppress the
people. State courts and other state
authorities are all but powerless, and
In federal courts the process of get-
tins Justice is practically inter min
able. .And they welcome and will
do all they can to maintain the "twi
light sone," to use Mr. Bryan's
happy expression, wherein neither
neither state ; nor federal authority
can control them ana make them
promptly accountable to the people.
.LA. FOLLETTE'S PROBABLE
, OBJECTION.
I
T MAY be taken -, for granted
that Senator La Follette had
good reason for his strenuous
opposition to' the Aldrlch-Vree-
land ' currency bill. Whether this
justified his resort to . the extreme
means of talking the bill to death or
not is a matter upon which opinions
will disagree. As an abstract propo
sition, it .would seem -that such a
way of defeating legislation ought
not to be tolerated By this means
a; single senator, with a good deal
of physical endurance ' and strong
vocal organs, and with bad as well
as with good motives, can under
certain . circumstances i defeat any
measure, however meritorious. Sen
ator .Carter once, thus defeated a
river and harbor bill," to the large
Injury .of the country, Montana hav
ing no rivers or harbors to improve!'
But the rules of the senateallow
this to be done, and since the' ma
jority Of the senate will not .change
the rule it cannot complain if a
senator takes advantage of it thus
to defeat what! he believes to be a
bad law. 1 - - - ' . :i
v Very likely La Follette's principal
objection to the currency bill was
that it provides that railroad bonds
-and other . commercial ; securities
might be used as a basis of new cur
rency to the extent of 76 per cent
of such securities face value. : Any
one can see at a glance what a tre
mendous power for inflating or con-
tracting, the currency ; this would
place In the hands of one or two pf
the "groups" recently .pointed out
by La Follette. . The railroad, and
banking groups--the Rockefeller,
Morgan, Harrlman, Ryan and allied
Interests would 1 thuB , be able1 to
manipulate national finances more
if possible than ever, and . might
use this power to bull or bear cer
tain railroad securities at will, when
the full report of La Toilette's
speech---not ' that anybody .will read
it all is at hand, we shall know
better what his grounds of objec
tion : were, but It... seems probable
that this was. one of the principal
objections, he had to It.
The Democratic senators, by Join
ing' In the filibuster, could have de
feated the bill, but. with one or two
exceptions It eeems ' they preferred
to let it pass, probably believing that
when . It came to be analyzed ; and
understood it would make good cam
paign material for them. And It
is entirely safe to Bay positively that
since Aldrlch fought tor the jbill,
it is one solely in the interest of
bis clients and associates. ' '
The patchwbrk currency hill Is
what nobody wants, and nobody ca
pable of passing Judgment on the
question supposes that It wilT'do any
appreciable good. It ... was rushed
through merely to enable members
of congress and the leaders to say
that they have done somothing after
all, had enacted "currency reform."
Its obvious purpose is to fool the
voters, but it Is not likely to
fool many of them. If the currency
bill be pointed to with pride, they
will ask, mentally if not vocally:
What about all those other 17 or
18 measures Roosevelt has been urg
ing you all winter and spring to
pass,- but; which you Rejected or Ig-
nored? He, in the people's . name
and behalf, asked for a dozen and a
half loaves of good, fresh, whole
some bread, and you hand us a crust,
made out of sawdust. To dishonored
oblivion with you. We have been
fooled by your sort too often."
Mr, Harrlman's representatives
should and doubtless do take great
prideln their -attempt to. foist "Doc'J
Hamilton as raliroaitV commissioner
on this state, but the people won't
forget ' If in a hurry. It is hoped
that the expenses incurred will not
be used as a basis for another ad
vance in lumber rates.. '
Oh, no, the - railroads don't try to
run politics. No more brazen effort
to control a state tribunal was ever
made than on yesterday, when "Doc1
Hamilton's election as railroad com
missioner was attempted. Mr. Hatr
rlman Is doubtless satisfied with the
work of his employes, but' what do
the people of the state think of it?

. WORLD-WIDE RACE QUESTION"
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN, -U
(Copyright, 108. by Frederlo J. Haskln.)
Los Angeles, May 18 "This Is a white an's couolry." One hears It
from -Seattle to San Diego, proof of the fact thai the Pacific coast states
are wrestling with a race question. Unlike the south.' the west shares its prob
lem with countries in all part of the world. The conflict between the civili
zations and the Institutions of the orient and the Occident has become a,
world-wido Issue. It has already caused the' bloodiest war of modern history;
it may yet be the cause of war, the wrecking of empires and. the making over
or the , maps or the world.
The fetters of religion and age-long
custom which have held Asia in leash
for centuries are being broken. The
Chinese are outtlna- off their queues.
The Hindu no longer believes that his
soul Is eternally damned If he crosses
the ocean. The JaDanese has adopted
every progressive method known to tho
world. The Asiatic is taking- his place
in world affairs, and wherever ne goes he
insists upon maintaining certain moral
ana racial laeas wnicn are so raaicaiiy
different from' those of Europeans and
Americans that friction is inevitable.
The Chinese.- Japanese and - Hindus,
taken together, outnumber all the white
people on earth by consideraoiy more
than two to one. But the white man
has the mdvantaare over ths-Asiatic In
wealth and health, and the moans ror
acquiring the one -and protecting : the
other. -.. .j - ' .
Wherever- Asiatio -laborers hav iron
Into a white community there nas oeen
trouble. It Is more than 80 years since
the Chinese question became acute on
the Pacific coast. The Japanese and
Hindu question Is now paramount, the
Chinese issue having been nettled by
exclusion. ut tnere is a great aurer
ence between the. problem of 30 years
o and mat now Deinar worxea out
Then Asiatio emigration was exception

outside by labor contractors. Now Asi

a place to work where the struggle for
existence will not be so nearly hopeless.

forcibly against Japanese and Hindu.
The fact that the Hindu. is a subject
of King Edward VII is no argument
at all to the British colonial. He de
mands the credentials of a white skin.
The ancient kinship of India and Eu
rope, does not mean anvthlnr to the
Australian who stands up and swears:
xnis is a white man's country."
With India bubbling with revslt. with
English colonies at dagger's points with
England's ally, Japan, and with English
oriental trade being' threatened by ori
ental competition It is apparent that
this -world wlda race quest Ion is ofL.the
utmost importance to the future of
the British empire. The English people
understand the arravitv of the situation.
and they are working with characteris
tic caution ana skill toward a solution
of Its more vexing phases. The British
nave naa enough experience to under
stand that race questions are never
finally settled, notwithstanding the fact
that London never draws the color line.
The American public, as a whole,
by no means understands the nrnhlm
on the'Paciflo coaBt. , It is to be doubt
ed ir the people of other sections of
me country ever win come to looK upon
the question as the people out. ' here'
do. The south has very positive Ideas
on its race Question which are m.
Jected in other . parts of the country,
but which are accepted and emphasised
by the citizen of another section who
removes to the south. Part nnlttlo
eDf course, has had much to do with
the general attitude toward the south
ern race question, but even aside from
that, tne people, or north and west do
not understand the ' southener'a nolnt
of view.
The westerner is in the same -cate
gory. He fears the encroachment of
the Asiatic and he resents it with the
instinctive force of self-protection. He
may reason the question with a show
of logic, or he may go It blind. , The
result is lust the same, the reason.

The differences between this race aues-

radical. The baste feel in ar of race an

different from the white man only in

plained it In this way:
"The Asiatic who comes to . America
is not only dirrerent in race, out in
many other ways. He has a nation
which ha renresants and to which he
remains absolutely loyal, no matter how
long he may stay here. He naa a sys
tem of morals which differs so radical
ly from ours that assimilation of the
two peoples is impossible.' He has a
religion which is different from ours,

which is essentially inferior in that It

of work Is gradually gaining rec
ognition. ; What we do well, we
do easily and quickly, and better knowl
edge and training are bound to be ths
means of overcoming the drudgery and
burden of housekeeping. What Mrs.
Buxton has written on this subject is
of interest to all-mothers. . , V
Business of Housekeeping, v
. By Orla Buxton.
HOW often we hear the weary moth
er, whose work is never .done, ex
. : claim, "I never want my daugh
ter to live ths Ufa that I live.", . Al
most invariably she sets about to give
her daughter such training as will fit
her for a' worse fate In years to come.
We often hear the same sentiment ex
pressed by business men. They, will
advise their sons to seek some easier
and more remunerative work than that
In which they are engaged and the sons
conclude that the thing for them to
do is to learn to be "smart", enough
to live without work, to their own dis
credit and undoing. , ,-, i j.,,..

Housekeeping Is no less a business
than banking;. The woman who would
be a success tn her vocation as house-,
keeper should receive training the same
as the man who is to become the head
of a great financial institution. .?.,
I once knew a mother of four daugh
ters who understood the soundness of
this theory. Two Of the girls had

changed work weeklv. The arlrla had
charge - of all-supplles-f or-their-Tespnc-
nw. iioyarvmenu na vied with, one
another in seeing who could set the
best table for the least expense. This
home was on, a large farm and there
were nine In the family, but all the'
morning's work was out of the way by
o'clock. Then there 'was time for
music, reading, recreation or whatever
might come to hand. Each of the girls
Was allowed a sum of money, regularly,
and with this they bought and cared for
all their own belongings. Each girl
was taught to sew and keen her nwn
clothing in repair.
'j. ins was good business training and
would be valuable to each of these girls,
whatever she, might turn her talents to
in after life. She had learned the vnhie
of time; she had learned to appreciate
the vslue of work well done: she had
learned to be self-reliant and, afove all,
had learned the great secret of success
in a well ordered home. Mother and
father -were the heads of this great
business institution and the sons and
daughters were all apprenticed,' as It
were, to learn the great, sound, funda
mental principles of successful : life.
' A pen picture, did you say? Yes. but
a true one. If you have been dented
this training in your girlhood, there is
still hope ahead. Our Agricultural col
lege Is Just now establishing a course
In household economy, which will ho
second to none In the west. The short
course, which proved so successful last
year, la to -be continued and. In the near
future, perhaps this summer, we are to
have the women's institutes established,
which will come to us "without money
and without price.'1 There is a reading
course for farmers' wives sent out by'
Cornell university which is indeed a
splendid help to ths busy woman. The
bulletins issued by the department of
sericulture on household anhlecta are tn
be had for the asking and are authority
on the subjects on which they , treat.
Then If one wishes to make a more sys
tematic study of tha subject, there is
the corresponding course sent out by
ths American School of Home Econom
lca This coarse is adapted to either
home or club study;
In. my own town ws have a household
economy-class In which we plan a se
ries of lessons on subjects In which ws
are most interested. - Ws find our in
