WHY BRYAN'S POWER?
WHAT is the meaning of tlpis
mighty demonstration for
Bryan? asks Walter Well
man. "What does It.sig
. rlfyT How shall It be correctly In
terpreted"? Wellman answers his
own questions, only In part, as we
think, but In the more essential part,
correctly. It means, ho says, "Idol
atry for a man," which Is scarcely
. accurate, but he correctly sayB that It
"Is something more than hysteria;
it lies deeper than superficial emo
tionalism." Wellman seems to con-
tradlct himself when he says that
Bryan has won this enthusiastic con-
- - fidence of the people "by some leger-
- domain or art or trick," for he states
subsequently the sufficient practical
reason for Bryan's popularity, which
is qnite aside from "art" or "trick"
on his part.
Behind and explanatory of "all this
enthusiasm of the Democratic masses
for Bryan Is, as Welldan says, "one
valient, dominant fact. That is the
Reeling that in some way, under some
leadership, by some party, this must
k be done. The influence in govern
ment of -the man of much money
' must not be greater than the influ
ence of the man of little money. This
Is a government of men, not of dol
lars. This is the land of equal rights'
and no .special privilege,"
Wellman calls the expression of
this idea "the voice of radicalism"
but defines radicalism as the voice
and effort "of the mass against the
rule of conservatism- the eternal
Btmggle of those below against
those above, the struggle that has
been going on ever since organized
society WB evolved from chaos, and
which must go on till the end of
time." This is a true though n in
complete statement, and it was that
same voice that was heard cheering
for 47 minutes for Roosevelt, be
cause he has spoken and to some
extent stood for "radicalism," for
the uplifting of the mass, for greater
equality politically, for increasing
power for the common man and less
power for the too-almighty dollar.
The difference between the two con
ventions is that at Chicago Roosevelt
"was cheered and his ideas -and pol
icies in this regard rejected and
scorned by the leaderB; at Denver
there was an honest belief on the
part of the controlling element in
these ideas and policies, in this rad
icalism, and a determination to com
mit the Democratic party thereto
Bryan stands conspicuously for
this reasonable, democratic, neces
Bary radicalism more power for the
common people; less for the dollar
in the hands of exceedingly selfish
and unscrupulous men. Bryan has
fairly earned his pre-eminence by his
Incessant, insistent able and lnfluen
tial preaching through 12 years of
true democracy, of rational radical-
Ism. He has had the mental and
physical ability, and has been cir
cumstanced, to do this as no other
K An-erican has or could have done.
He has matntv.nid and strengthened
his leadership rot by any "art" or
."trick" except that, of knowing what
the people ant .and deserve, and In
sisting that this be clvon them by
those put In power. He lf the "Idol"
of the peo;lf- only bei-au'--- they lntel-
- ligently and ttK'uuhtf ully, not mere
ly emotionally, understand that he is
their thamplon. They believe In hit
sincerity, and they know that he Is
essentially and eternally rieht. That
may have t-eri occasionally mis
taken in detail is of little conse
quence; by his ability and force and
persistence and faith and flcanicKn
of Tlson over large ground and devo
tion to his ideals, and his unweary
ing championship of .the radicalism
, that is calculated to elevate and ben
eflt.the masses and put them In pos
session ot their feat rights, he hat
made himself the on questioned lead
er of bis party axe, of more than
til party, of the common people.
HE RESOU'tlOX In the Demo
cratic platform, fathered hy Mr.
Innmn, that declares that "vast
and Increaslne rniniliora of
oriental laborers are within our nor
dors," Is scarcely sustained by th
fact. The number of Japanese labor
ers has Increased considerably diir
Ing some years, and I here Is a Hllfih
eprlnklliiK of Hindus, hut Chinese
coolies, owing to the exclusion law
have become scarce. The Repub
lican platform totally Ignored th
question of oriental exclusion, and it
was therefore not only politic bti
proper for the Democratic platform
to make a declaration on the subject
Public sentiment and national wel
fare both doubtless demand a reason
able exclusion law, one that will ahu
out "hordes" of oriental laborers, the
principal reason being that other
'wise great monopolistic corporations
and other employers of large num
bers of worklngmen would use the
oriental laborers to depress wages
and practically enslave American la
bor; yet a limited number of certain
classes of orientals, If It were pirn
sible to draw a line, would not be
harmful. And except for the fact
that the Chinese, are so vastly num
erous, and unless excluded might
come in deluging swarms, there is no
reason for their exclusion that does
not apply to the Japanese. The Chi
nese laborers who would come here
if allowed are not bo intelligent and
pushing as the Japanese, but they
are quiet, honest, and attend strictly
to their own humble business, while
the ordinary Jap, "being ambitious
and imbued that he Is a favored
child of the gods. Is likely, though
naturally polite and gentlemanly, to
become aggressive and bumptious.
At all events, large numbers of
these people in this country are cal
culated to arouse constant friction
and trouble, and to give both un
conscionable capitalists and unscru
pulous political demagogues an op
portunity to do the country harm;
so they would btetter be kept out.
Reosevelt'and Taft are both in favor
of this policy, so possibly the matter
was- accidentally overlooked, in the
Republican convention, though Dem
ocrats have an opportunity to assert
that exclusion was not mentioned in
the Republican platform in order to

so that when the Italian immigrants
began to get fat on their bones he

one. Yet If all consumer of 1am

EWS of the hank defalcation at
Naples and the absconding of
on of the bank's agents in
this Country, will bring sorrow
if not despair to thousands of Italian
immigrants in the United States
working and saving their wages to
make homes for old fathers and
mothers In their native Italy and to
aid relatives in reaching this land of
promise and plenty.
It is a remapkable affair, that
could not have occurred with any
bank under similar conditions in the
United States, because such' condl
tions could not have existed here;
and yet In the United States a mul
titude of Italian Immigrants have
waited days before the doors of the
Cleveland branch of the bank, hop
ing against hope to obtain their sav
lngs money trusted to BOnellk whose
defalcation amounts to many thou
sands of dollars, the exact amount
of which Is not yet known.
II Mattino (The Morning), a daily
paper of Naples, gives some detailsJ
of the establishment, which it de
clares to have been "without head
or shareholders and for a long series
of years the tool and victim of every
political actor of Naples. The sores
were deep and difficult to cicatrice
so the spoliation continued, latent
but constant. The public heard oc
casional little rumors like a distant
echo of what was occurring behind
the scenes, then the curtain fell,
heavy, mysterious; and all returned
to the darkness. The present In
vestigation ought not to be confined
to the savings department, but ex
tended to every service of the bank
and bring reniedles with radical re
forms, directive and administrative
"It is said in high places that the
condition of the bank is not known
and that only by the slow process of
law can its affairs be taken In
charge. The truth is the multitude
In Naples does know the condition of
the bank and the public discussion
of its affairs does not tend to estab
lish its credit."
It it not difficult to understand
that a class of immigrants like the
mass of Italians in this country, en
gaged in severe and humble pur
suits. Ignorant of the language and
methods of the new people to whom
hey have come, may be easily per
suaded to trust their countrymen in
all transaction! touching the care of
their savings. But they should be
nstructed that there exists in Italy
the government savings bank, where
there is no robbery of a hundred or
a hundred thousand lire and that no
Institution in Italy is more reputable
than its government.
The bank of Naples appear to be
a decrepit and corrupt Insfltutlpq of
which the Mattino says "It is tup
ported on stilts and this to nt ap
pears enough." Tha- bank's agent
la Cleveland baa followed a. career,
that would have made hit success,
at a fldaclary trustee. Impossible,
except to simple-minded, ignorant
credulity. He was a native of Car

ATE ARTICLES in The Journal
are recalled by published re
ports of the health officer there,
which relate that In a well
known eastern Oregon city the milk
upply comes from cows of which 10
per cent or more are believed to be
ffected with tuberculosis. This
newspaper has insisted and still in
sists that a policy of proper surveil
lance by public authority should be
exercised in this state, science
more and more emphasizes the ne
cessity of purity with respect to food
products. We know now that mil
lions of victims have been wantonly
sacrificed as a result of ignorance of
the transmission of disease through
germs and impure foods.
To close our eyes to the revela
tions of the passing germ epoch we
may expect to continue the unnec
essary slattghter of ourselves and
our unsuspecting compatriots. The
federal government has set an ex
ample in requiring strict inspection
of the packing houses, "and in other
stringent requirements In the pure
food laws. The greatest scientists
of the world are shortly to convene
in New York for a study of tuber
culosis, which is universally recog
nized as the most dreaded of all the
enemies of human life. San Fran
cisco has a society for the study of
the same subject, and the same is
true of many cities in every part of
Christendom. On this absorbing
theme the public mind of the civil
ized world Is focused, and it is in
deed strange, if in Oregon, the sim
plest precautions against spread of
the dreadful malady are not to oe
observed.
The Journal knows nothing as to
what is the policy of those charged
with this duty in Oregon, and it es
says no especial knowledge as to the
relation between tuberculosis In man
and domestic animals, w nat it
does know is that some of the best
authorities on the subject hold that
cow's milk is a large means of trans
mittine it, and that, as the dispatch
from the eastern Oregon city indl
cates, proper precautions can do no
harm and might be an Instrumental

NEUHAUSEN'S DISCHARGE
THE HOBSOX MAMA.
R'
3PRESENTATIVE HOBSON is
no doubt a sincere patriot, but
he has gone, fairly daft over the
proposition that we will and
must and shall have a great war soon
with Japan, and that unless we in
crease our navy very greatly and
rapidly we will be most thoroughly
and. ignomlnlously whipped. Mr.
Hobson's point of view is that of a
naval officer, which he was for years,
and the importance of which position
he magnifies. Of course there must
be war to Justify the existence of a
great navy and a great many naval
officers. Unless a war can be scared
up once in a while, their occupation
would dwindle In importance and in
terest. We need a great navy bo
cause we are to have a great war, is
Hobson's way of putting it, but what
is really in the mind of him is the
need of a big war bo as to Justify and
exploit a great navy.
Japan is in no condition to go to
war, even with a third-rate power,
nor will be for years to come, for
lack of money. Her resources are
limited and her power of borrowing
Is about exhausted. For a score of
years, at least. Jaran will have her
bands full with Korea, and Man
churia, and will have to keep her
tret on Russia and China. Japan
could no more afford to go to war
wltn the United States than Holland
could with Germany. Betides, there
It and will not be any occasion for
war. Japan had to fight Russia for
her very physical eixtence; bat she
isn't going to war with any great na
tion on any slight pretexts. Hob
ton has a mrfnla, and the expression
of it is becoming tiresome.
William M. Cake Is to resign at
chairman of the Republican state -committee
and Is to give the control and
management of the coming presidential
campaign In Oregon over to the keeping
Of Ralph E3. Williams, of Dallas, C. W
Hodson, S. C. Beach or W. W. Banks
of Portland. - Such - 1b the program
mapped out by the friends of Senator
Fulton and which will be put Into ef
fect soon after the coming visit to
Portland of Mr. Williams, should there
be no subsequent hitch in the proceed
ings. The snow white dove of party peace
has come back to the fold and the fol
lowers of Fulton and those of Cake are
dwelling together in perfect peae and
amity. .That is the talk, but back, of
it Is the real reason.
Inharmonious Harmony.
Senator Fulton and his friends are
very sore at W. M. Cake and his brother,
H. M. Cake. The" lntter are Just as
sore at the soldiers of the Fulton camp.
The first, say that Cake and Bourne
worked together by unfair means to se
cure the "Defeat of Fulton in the pri
maries. Cake and his friends came back with
the retort that the Donular vot civpn
uovercor Chamberlain by which he de
ieaiea . uane was made up ven
largely or Fulton ballots. As a result
ui'Te is much resentment slumbering ir
the bosoms of all concerned. W. M
Cake Is therefore nersona nnn srnta n
the manager of the Taft campaign to
which Senator Fulton is pledged heart
and soul.
Through It all, however, remains the
irienasnip Detween K. K. Williams and
vi. in. uane. w. M. Cake, so it is said
has told Mr. Williams that he is tired
of the turmoil of politics end desires

practice. He is therefore, the story
runs, willing to resign his chairmanship
and leave the management of the Taft
campaign to others who have the time
