WHY WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
5'
iOUE of the chroniclers charac
terize Mr. Bryan as an oppor
tunist. Others attribute his
nomination to his personality.
;' The impartial observer, whether
1 agreeing with his doctrines or not,
t sees In Mr. Bryan's third nomination
Jfor the presidency, the irresistible
logic of the past three years of pub
1 lie affairs in this country. Theo
. dore Roosevelt, not, only nominated
Mr. Taft, but was a prime factor in
' the nomination of Mr. Bryan. When
the White House, without lief of
party platform, went deliberately
' and boldly into Mr. Bryan's work
shop, and one after another appro
priated Mr. Bryan's tools, he made
the great commoner's third nomina
lion inevitable. ,.A glance at the pub
- lie utterances of Mr. Bryan a dozen
-years ago, and a,ttfxose of President
Hoosevelt during the past two or
three years is full explanation of the
tremendous enthusiasm at Denver
and why, the great convention made
MfX Bryan 'tor the third time a can
didate for the presidency.
Mr. Bryan's platform in 1896
said: "We hold that tariff should
.be levied for the purpose of revenue
only, and duties should be so reg
ulflted as not to discriminate be
tween class and section."
In 1900 Mr. Bryan's platform de
' dared that "the tariff laws should
be so amended by placing the
, products of the trusts on the free list
to prevent monopoly under the plea
of protection. Nearly 12 years
(later, President Roosevelt In ape
?cial message to congress decfared:
T"I advocate the reduction of the
tariff on the articles coming into
. i competition with the articles con
trolled by the trusts."
''In his letter of acceptance in
Il896, Mr. Bryan declared: "I be-
''lieve in the income tax as a method
of raising revenue for the govern
- f ment." The Republican platform
and Republican candidate that year
'was silent on the subject, and were
'client again in 1900. In that year
'.Mr. Bryan's platform said: "We
favor the income tax as a part of our
revenue system."
On December 14, 1907, President
Hoosevelt, in a message to congress,
said: "1' wish to again urge upon
.you the necessity of Bome'form of
"taxation upon Incomes of wealthy
corporations and individual In
comes." In his letter of acceptance in 189fi,
Mr. Bryan said: "I favor the re
enactment of the employer's liability
law." The platform and candidate
of the opposing party were 6llent on
'the subject. In 1900 Mr. Bryan's
platform said: "The conditions of
labor and capital in this country
make It necessary that we have an
employer's liability law." In a
special message to congress nearly
J.1 years later. President Roosevelt,
appropriating the Bryan idea, said:
favor the immediate reenactment
of the employer's liability law."
- In a apeech at Lincoln, Neb., In
i899, Mr. Bryan paid "I believe
that we should do tn the Philippine"
as we have done to C in. and that It
l -oar duty to mxke t!,at promise
has no watered stock; second, that
It will not crush competition, and
third, that It is not a monopoly." In
his message to congress, January 81
this vear, President Roosevelt said:
"It Is especially necessary that some
representative cf the national gov
ernment have full power to deal
with the great corporations engaged
In interstate commerce, especially
the great Interstate common car
rlers." In 1 896 Mr. Bryan's plat
form said: "The Democratic party
is opposed to trusts. It would be
recreant to Its duty to the .people
If it recognized either the moral or
legal right of those great corpora
tions to stifle competition, bankrupt
rivals and prey upon society." In
1900 his platform said: "We pledge
ourselves to an increasing warfare
against the trusts. Existing laws
must be enforced, and more strin
gent ones enacted compelling puo
lielty in the conduct of the affairs
of these great corporations." Jan
uary 81, 1908, President Roosevelt,
In a message to congress, said: "The
fortunes amassed by these corporate
institutions and trusts make it
riprfinrv for the government to
have some control of them. Such
monopolies are wholly Inconsistent
with human liberty, and are not. to
be tolerated by a free people."
In his letter of acceptance in 1896
Mr. Bryan said: "We are opposed
o government by Injunction, as our
support of the senate bill prohibit
um it will show. That bill meets
my approval." In 1900 Mr. Bryan's
platform said: "We are opposed to
government by injunction. We de
nounce the black list,, and we favor
arbitration as a means of settling
disputes between employer and em
ploye." In a message to congress in
January, 1908, President Roosevelt
said: "I call your attention to the
need of some action in connection
with the abuse of the injunction in
labor cases."
There is no precedent in the po
litical annals of this country for the
above parallel. Policies that Mr.
Bryan had for years advocated, were
heroically taken up by Mr. Roose
velt nnrf adoDted as the policies of
his administration, all in the face ol
the fact that they were In the main
policies that Mr. . Roosevelt's party
had combatted. Their advocacy was,
and is, the 6ecret of Mr. Roosevelt's
enormous popularity. It Is their ac
ceptance by Mr. Roosevelt, and helr
acceptance through him by the
American people that made Mr.
Bryan the inevitable nominee at
Denver. That acceptance by the
president of an opposing party of
-doctrines Mr. Bryan had advocated
12 years before, made Mr. Bryan xhe
most notable private citizen in me
world, and by its irresistible logic
dictated his nomination as a matter
of course. Whether one agrees or
disagrees with Mr. Bryan, we must
admit that no man In any nation, at
anv time has exercised so command
ing an influence in compelling the
nontmira of his doctrines. V
must admit that no man, in any na
tion, at any time, as a mere private
citizen, has so tremendously changed
the thought and beliefs of so many
people. Standing In the presence of
bo commanding a personality and so
triumphant a mentality, what else
could the Denver convention do but
nominate this man of the hour!
This man of the people!
whenever they made inquiry. It
seems to have been the theory with
Mr. Lytle, as with some platform
building politicians, that all that
was necessary to redeem one prom
ise was to make another Just like it.
Last fall w6rk had to be stopped,
what little was doing, because of the
panic, and this excuse held the Til
lamook people quiet through the
winter; but in the spring Mr. Har
rlman announced that everything
was loveiv again; Roosevelt was
only bluffing; and since then he has
In fact had Jl 00,000,000 of bonds
Issued; but the summer Is passing. Is
half gone, and not a lick of work has
been done on the Tillamook road
nor does anybody know, probably
not even Mr. Lytle himself, whether
any work will be done this year, or
next year, or any year, by liar
rlman. But Mr. Hill may conclude
to get busy in that direction, and
then rtarrlman will make the dirt
fly. He builds railroads only to
spite rivals.
yThe Tillamook people have an es
pecial grievance, for they would
have had a railroad years ago except
that they were sold out to Ilarrlman
by certain Portland parties. The
bonds, according to a man 'who had
knowledge of the whole affair, and
In fact had chief charge of it, had
been negotiated, and the money was
Immediately forthcoming; but In
fluence was somehow used to pre
vent the signing and delivery of the
honds, and ffo through trenehery Til
lamook has been kept rallroadless
and the intermediate country unde
veloped all these years.
Then after one or two other ef
forts or motions, Mr. Lytle, acting,
as everybody knows, for Mr. Har
riman, appeared on the scene with
very specific, positive promises-f and
the hope that springs eternal even in
the Tillamookers' breasts sprang
into roseate life again; but the
weeks and months and years are
passing, and the ratio of perform
ance to promise shows no visible in
crease. If Job nad lived at Til
lamook, he might have retained his
faith in Ood, but his opinion of Ilar
rlman and his tools might not have
been fit to print.
Yet Hope knows, her busi
ness, after all. Tillamook will
not remain without a railroad
forever. We are confident that even
this generation will not pass till one
Is built there, And circumstances
may force its building pretty soon.

as was true of a similar tramp of
100 miles taken by Mr. West over
the west side some months ago.
The method is widely different
from the policy of the former rail

rode over the lines occasionally in
palatial cars, provided by the com

Poly county Is more and more and
more turning her attention to the rais

has been clearly demonstrated that we
have the best climate In the world for
such purpose, that high grade stock

where else, and that It costs consider
ably less to bring them to a marketable
age.

time to atart up mill now idle I when
products can be sold at a fair value.
Blgns of. the proper time to start th

Today the mill value of hemlock,

Justify the resumption of operation of

to operate mill full time, save for
such time as Is necessary to cut the
log now In on the skldway or In the
water. Standing timber will make
more money for Its owner than can
at prasent be derived by converting It
Into lumber and selling tha stock for
what It will bring.
It Is conceded that a betterment of
conditions has- taken place within the
last few weeks. However, this bet
terment I not sufficiently pronounced

In reality Is not a surplus, nut an' tvU

HOPE LONO DEFERRED.
HE people of Tillamook and vi-
rinlty, and the region between
here an4 there, have been hum
bly asking through many weary
months why promises made to them
by Mr. Lytle were not kept. The
people over there did their part;
they secured the required right of
way and raised the demanded sub
sidy a small piece of bufilnees, br
the way, thi pubsidy, for a great
railroad magnate like Harrlman
but the promises made them were
not kept. In the matter of baildlng
railroads Mr. Harrlman has repeat
edly ahown that Ma promises were

ELL, why should not the
new, modern, progressive,
real Democracy of the coun
try honor Lincoln, even if
many of the Democrats of his day
were bitterly opposed to him? Times
have changed; issues have changed;
parties have changed. Then the
Democratic party in the main, stood
for negro slavery; now, led by such
men as Bryan, it stands for freedom.
Then it was the blacks in the south
that were enslaved; now it Is mil
lions of whites throughout the coun
try that are more or less enslaved.
Lincoln believed in the utmost
possible degree of freedom for the
people; so does Bryan. Lincoln did
not start out to free 4,000,000
blacks, but was glad to do so when
he had a good opportunity; Bryan
seeks to make more free the whole
85,000,000 people of the United
States.
For there are enslavers now, as
every one knows, and it is they
whom Bryan and his type of Demo
crats fight great financial com
bines, great trusts and railroads, the
malefactors of great wealth, the
magnate anarchists, predatory inter
ests, and the political leaders, bosses
and machines that serve all these, la
congress, in executive offices and of
ten on the bench. Does any one
doubt that If Lincoln were alive to
day he wculd be found on the side
of the common people, in unison
with whose hearts his great heart
beat, as against these predatory and
plundering elements?
Lincoln was a Republican In his
day because the new, clean, honest
Republican party of that time was
animated with a lofty, sublime, pure
purpose; It had a mighty history
making mission. There Is as great a
mission, as sublime a purpose, for a
real, true Democratic party to ac-1
compllsS in the near future. Such a1
party will correspond to a great ex-1
tent with the Republican party of'
PC yoars aeo. .Vow, as then. It is a
ffclit of the ni'.iro or less enslaved 1
common pop!e against their law- j

A Call From Coos.
To the Editor of The Journal In all
Oregon outside of Portland there are no
greater advantages than He arotind Coos
Bay. It I a port that lacks but two
things railroads and dredging. The
towns of Marshflold and North Bond
join, and they will soon be combined,
probably under another name. The
natural resources within 75 mile are
enormous. The possibilities are greater
here than thev were for Seattle 20 years
ago. ngures and lists or names are noi
In place In a short letter like -this. These
tree-clad hills and great stretches of
vallevs and tideflats should be covered
with the bustle of a great city. Climate
and soil should Induce agriculture, horti
culture and dairying to a far greater ex
tent than It haa The lack or ran trans
portation alone keeps back this great
principality that seems to have been
overlooked by capitalists, and to be
waiting for the key that shall unlock It
from the world.
Of course, the ever present curse or
land monopoly keeps back development
around Coos Bay, although It Is a fact
that one of the largest land holders Is
very progressive and by his liberal
treatment has Induced manufacturing
establishments to operate. The people
down here are "sore" at the dogs In the
manger who will do nothing but collect
toll on Industry and capital, and who
sleep When Progress knocks at their
doOr, and slap Opportunity in the face
every day. As a consequence the ma
jority of the people ar natural single
taxers, and If any systematic campaign
was carried on here for that reform
they would support it overwhelmingly.
Without any Information on the sub
ject. Curry country went for the so
called single tax amendment at the last
election, and Coos county against It by
a score or two votes.
Portland capital and Portland enter
prise is handicapped by the same curse,
but not so much so because rail trans
portation has opened ud vast unexplolt
ed resources. Its moneyed men should
connect the two ports by rail and help
develop the only other harbor along the
Oregon coast that can support a large
city. San Francisco commercial inter
ests are struggling to regain their hold
that existed before the great disaster,
and with considerable success. It Is up
to Portland commercial men to unite
more closely the two cities, and nothing
will do that so surely and permanently
as a direct line of railroad. Kyery tub
must stand on Its own bottom, of
course, but Coos bay while able to do
so, offers opportunities to Portland men
who know what timber and dairy and
horticultural developments mean to a
commercial center. People laughed at
the Idea of Portland being a city of
100.000 when enthusiastic 'dreamers
prophesied it In 1886, but the force of
down-hill haul, navigable waters and
vast natural resources have made Port
land the city of destiny along the Pa-i
clflo coast. Coos bay has not the vast
sweep of country that Portland has
now tributary to It, but a few lines of
ra lroad would greatly increase its
commercial scope, and Its easily dredged
harbor, even now sending wealth-laden
ships to the deep sea to all the lands
of the earth, could shelter the fleets of
the great nations, with room to spare.

A Prediction.
(Eu-
From the Oregon State Journal
gene.)
In the editorial columns of this paper
more than two years ago, June 16, 1908,
reiterating a prediction that had been
made several years before, the follow
ing appeared:
TThe editor of the Oregon State Jour
nal predicted more than S5 years ago.
when there were no outward sign of
It realization, that Portland will oe the
largest city on the Pacific coast; and
several years ago when he seemed to
be down and out, that William J. Bryan,
who was beaten twice by bribery, ter
rorism and gross frauds, will yet ha
president of the United States. We are
of the same opinion still, as to both
propositions, and there are indications
becoming stronger every day that both
will yet be realised."
Since this prediction was made nearly
half a century ago, as to Portland, it is
now so far along toward realltatlon that
It will soon become an established fact.
As to the election of Bryan, the predlc
tlon made several years ago after two
defeats and reiterated more than two
years ago, when there was apparently a
hundred chances to one against It, the
result Will D Known next November.

Woman and Business.
N answer to th question of what

unhappy kind, uneven in It work, and

This man, it mutt be admitted, ha
been remarkably unfortunate. He haa
overlooked entirely the womanly women
who aro honestly doing a part of the
world work and doing It will, such aa
the competent stenographers and book
keepers, school teachers, women physi
cians, managers of the charitable insti
tutions, and all inch; but he ha also
made the mistake of imagining that his
little experience settle the question;
that what he see now and here ia tha

superstition that goblins, sprites, elves

crowd to the glass to look on.
Professor Edward Ayelsworth Ross,
late of Stanford, and ndw of th Uni
versity of Wisconsin, brought out the
forceful fact not long since, that It la
heavy labor under unfit conditions, too
many hours a day spent at arduous toil,
that tends' to make woman a desexed
creature, low browed, heavy of mind,
weak of body. Not the competition with
men in lines which demand thought,
mind you, not the participation In busi
ness, but the fact of having to" do too
hard manual work, too heavy lifting
and loo long and monotonous mechanical
work.
Woman is not a success In business, ,
says the man whose Ideas have been
quoted. She should return to the man
ual tasks of her grandmother' time.
She should bake and weave and spin
and scrub and wash and sweep and
chum and tend the cows and the pigs
and the chickens; she should not have
a thought outside of her home and the
material welfare of her fanfily. This Is
what her grandmother did, and it la wo
man's, sphere.
And Edward Ayelsworth Ross ays
that that kind of too heavy labor tends
to produce a masculine type of woman,
unfit companions for men, and unfit
mothers tor tha kind of men that tha
progress of the world demand.
And so here we are, we poor women,
