INSIDIOUS SUGGESTIONS.
THE morning Journallstlo mlsan
thrope In politics Is still seek'
lng. insidiously by the sugges
tive 'process , to Induce State
ment No. 1 Republican members of
the legislature to break their post-
tive, solemn pledge to the people and
rote for some other man for United
States senator than the one chosen
by the people. .That paper says: ,
Th question whether Oregon Is
Republics or a Democratic state will
be decided by the vote between Tift and
Bryan la : November, ; Should Oregon
prove a Republican state, a lot of
"Statement Republican," committed to
election of a Democratio senator In Jan
uary, will realize all their embarrass-,
ment, as so-called "representatives of
the people,"
And again: 1
It will be put right pp to the people
of Oregon in the presidential election
whether they want a Republican or a
Democratic president, and by conis
quenc whether they want a Democratic
or Republican senator. The rote In
June on the senator - was merely a
bunco game.
These hints are plain enough
They are samples of constant sugges
tions by that paper to these members
that they should ! disregard their
pledge, should sacrifice their honor,
should prove themselves liars and
scoundrels, and traitors to the peo
ple, in order to elect a man of their
own party senator. - And this, too,
after almost, all of , them have it
clared that they would keep theft
promise, as any honorable man must
as a matter of coarse do. .,.
Of hundreds of editorial com
ments by, newspapers throughout
the state and country on the situa
tion In Oregon,. The Journal has seen
but one, aside from those In the Ore
gonian, which favored or advised
such action as It; suggests, or even
considered such action possible. . The
CorvalUs Republican . and the Ore
gonian are propably the only two pa
pers In the United States that have
the temerity to suggest to these men
that they should commit this act of
perfidy, , or the audacious baseness
to suppose that they would do so.
How Oregon goes ' la November
has aothlng whatever to do with the
case. . If - the people of Oregon
choose,' under the -j Jaw, to : have
Chamberlain elected to the senate
and also to give a majority to Taft,
they have a perfect right to do so.
We Are trying to elect' senators by
the people, and these members are
pledged, to carry out this purpose.
This we have no doubt they will do
To do otherwise would disrupt and
almost destroy the HepubUcan party
in this state Indeed, perhaps, since
Its case of megrims has become
chronic, this Is what the Oregonian
desires, so that It can say, 'I told
you ao."
the people of the country want It,
and yet this convention voted down
a plank for the direct election of
senators by a vote of seven to one.
This one vote. If there were no oth
ers on progressive measures, shows
how non-representative of the "rank
and file" the convention was.',-.
The proposed plank In favor of the
publicity of campaign funds was an
other that the convention voted
down, by 880 to 94, yet President
Roosevelt has ; declared , for such
policy, and Secretary Taft has writ
ten a letter In favor of It, There Is
a strong popular demand for this, for
apparent reasons. Tet the conven
tion being for the most part a gath
ering ; of mere spoils-seeking . poli
ticians, rejected It. ';'':' '- v-
- President Roosevelt has also advo
cated the ascertainment of the phys
leal value of railroads,"; something
very , necessary for the Interstate
commerce . commission and - state
commissions to know, In order to
make "reasonable rates. , Not that
this value shall be the sole basis of
fixing, rates, but one of the Import
ant factors In doing so. ' If the Re
publican party Is in earnest : In fa
voring and supporting governmental
regulation of railroads, and the es
tablishment of reasonable rates, and
the elimination of vast Quantities of
"water" from . railroad stock, upon
which the , people are compelled to
pay Interest and dividends, It would
have and must have supported this
plank. The f people, " f Republicans
equally with DemocraU want such a
policy adopted, they see Its Import
ance' and necessity, but this standpat
convention of politicians toted down
this plank by 917 noes to only 63
ayes. . . v'; ..
Mr. Bryan also points out that the
president has advocated an Income
tax and an inheritance tax, and no
doubt a great majority of the people
agree with him, but there is nothing
in the platform about these Import
ant subjects. Neither Is there any
thing In favor of a parcels post, ad
vocated by the ' president . and his
postmaster-general; euch a plank
would have offended the extortionate
express companies and their owners,
the railroad magnates.
AS Mr. -Bryan suggests, wnat are
millions of Republicans,, who have
been' led by the president's advocacy
of reform measures to hope and ex-
pecthat the party would follow him,
at least to some extent, to think of
this non-progressive, standpat plat
formt It Is certain that hundreds of
thousands of them are sorely disap
pointed, even If, like La Follette,
they should vote for Taft, hoping
that he is mgger ana oeuer, more
courageous and patriotic, ' than his
party as represented at Chicago. But
even If he should be so, he can ac
complish nothing as long as congress
remains as it Is. what the people
need to do is to overturn congress,
not necessarily along party lines, but
to substitute patriotic progressivists
for machine-moving standpatters. :
PORTLAND WAITTNra.
I
A STANDPAT PLATFORM.
IF IN the article quoted In.the dis
patches Mr. Bryan means that the
Republican party, as disclosed by
. Its platform. Is "in full retreat,"
he Is not quite accurate, for It has
never appreciably advanced In the di
rection, of the La Follette amend
ments. President Roosevelt has tilt
ed forward along some of these lines
quite conspicuously, but he went al
most alone, and he never attempted
to reach the advance ground occu
pied by La Follette, It Would be
more accurate to say that the Re
publican party, while apparently
shifting Its position slightly, practic
ally remains where It. has been; it
stands pat. True, It promises a spe
cial session of congress next year for
revising the tariff, It makes a prac
tically inconsequential declaration
about Injunctions, and there are a
few other mild and harmless squints
in the direction of what are popu
larly supposed to be the Roosevelt;
policies; but when a real, positive,
significant advance was proposed by
the Copper amendments, it refused to
budge; it stood pat.' '
There Is the matter of electing
senators by direct vote of the people.
Election, by ; legislatures has ;long
been a shame and a scandal la many
states; It has been a great national
evil and disgrace; many senators to
day are living proof and.examples of
this. The house of representatives
bus five times voted la favor of this
change; about two thirds of the 6tate
legislatures have declared tot it; the
rcople f several states have actually
I ut It into effect; there is no doubt
U-at an overwhelming majority of,
T 13 expected that the Portland
bond case will be decided by the
supreme court soon now, and
it the legality of the election
that voted the bonds is upheld, Port
land can move forward in the near
future with much longer, surer
strides than heretofore. In the event
of a favorable decision. It is per
haps as well that the delay has oc
curred, for the bonds can be sold
next fall to far better advantage
than they could have been last fall
or winter.
If the decision should be adverse,
preparations should be made to have
another vote on the bonding propo
sitions as early as possible. The
bonding of the city for-the purposes
designated in the election a year ago
is very Important and Indeed neces
sary. By another year even the
water supply will need to be in
creased. ; The proposed bridge Is
urgently ; needed . The wharf and
dock project is one of Immense im
portance to the city, and this invest
ment-will x prove - very profitable.
Park Improvement and driveways
are greatly to be desired. In fact
the city Is handicapped at several
important points by its Inability to
carry but these projects. '
- We have .had to wait on the courts,
but once they have passed on the
matter there should be no unneces
sary, delay, in moving forward along
these lines. To grow and prosper
as it ougnt to no, Portland must
spend millions on these projects. It
can well afford to do so. ,;
that will yield good or fair crops of
hardy grains almost every , year, mil
lions of .bushels. And still large
quantities of stock for export can be
raised too. : And in the region that a
railroad would traverse are also
great bodies of good timber. It is a
land of plentiful natural resources,
if not the most inviting la the coun
try, and It ought ere this to have had
10 times its present population and
been yielding 10 : times its present
products. 1 But ; King Harrlman
would neither build a railroad nor
permit any one else to do so.

THE
TRAGEDY OP
ORJEGOIf.
CENTRAL
tr
P IN central Oregon south of
Shaalko an Industrial tragedy
has been going on for years,
but reaching large proportions
only last year. In a portion of Crook
county averaging perhaps 60 miles
distant from Shaniko, it' is said
1,600,000 bushels of wheat were
raised last year, and probably more
will be raised this year. Those peo
ple went in there expecting a rail-!
road would be built. .They had the
promise of Mr, Harrlman, and of
ethers. They . plowed, planted and
reaped, and then found that la order
to market their surplus, grain - they
would have to haul it from. 40 .to J20
miles, to the end of the railroad;
This of courter left them no profit,
but they had the grain; It having
been harvested, ; It paid to haul It
away even 100 miles or more. Vry
With a railroad, or railroads, the
