T
HE Pendleton Tribune Is one of
the few Republican papers of
the state that are following the
Oregonlan in its systematic at
tempts to bulld-o.se or otherwise In
duce Statement No. 1 Republican
members of the legislature to break
their pledge to the people and refuse
to vole for Governor Chamberlain
for senator. Any flinisey excuse will
do for these organs to hang an argu
ment on, and though they know it Is
utterly disingenuous, they Bet: in to
think it may serve the purpose In
view, which Is to defeat the ex
pressed will of the people and throw
senatorial elections back into the
(Id methods.
The pitifully small and palpably
Insincere excuse jf the Pendleton pa
per is that Chamberlain sent a tele
gram of congratulation to Hryan,
from which it argues that lie is a
Democrat, and having; gratuitously
assumed that he represented himself
during the campaign as a non-partisan,
it says the Statement No. 1
members have been deceived and are
therefore released from their nhlica
tiiwi. We do not remember of" ever read
ing or hearing a more contemptibly
purile and deceptive idea in a bad
cause. In the first place, it assumes
untruths. Chamberlain ran as n
Democrat, and made no disguise of
that fact, nor was a single voter in
the state of Oregon deceived in the
least in regard to his political atti
tude or representations. He said he
was in favor of the Roosevelt pol
icies, and would support them, and
would support any president, Re
publican or Democrat, who stood for
those policies. Tie did not and need
not put aside his Democracy to do
this, for those policies are mainly
those of the Democratic parly. Hut
this Is immaterial; the Important
thing is that they are the policies
that the people approve.
in the second place, it makes no
difference what Chamberlain's pol
ities are, since the people,
knowing all about him. un
derstanding him fully, pave
him a plurality of their votes
and chose him for senator. if the
people prefer Chamberlain to Cake.
or Fulton, or (leer or Scott, or any
body else, the people have a right to
have him for their senator, and their
choice is no business of any of the
old political riiigsiers, who are still
determined if it bo possible, to defeat
the people's will. It is only they
who object to Chamberlain's politics.
The rank and file of the Republican
party, about LMi.Oim) of whom voted
for him, are making no complaint,
nor will do so.
These organs sei m determined ut
terly to disrupt the Kepubli'-an party,
in this state, sure enough. If they
succeed in their attempts to override
the people's will and revert to old
methods of electing senators, it is
safe to predict that Republicans will
be scarce in the legislature for years
to come. The people are not going
to be driven back into the mire from
which they have escaped.

N WITH the hunt. Jerome
Renne, an esteemed citizen,
was shot and killed for a deer
near Creuwcll Sat unlaw Coo
county has had iis victim, nnd tin
hunt Is but begun. Other healthy
men will move a bush or crush
twig in the woods to be promptly
perforated-with lead,- as deer. The
accident will have mention In the
newspapers, but the readers will pay
little heed. A certain number of
able-bodied people seem fated to he
killed this way each deer shooting
season, and there is no help for it
Each new accident is a warning to
hunters, but it does no good. Ad
vice is offered, and caution be
slowed, but it is effectless. The cor
oner sits while the hunter hunts.
The undertaker orders more caskets
while the careless sportsman sallies
forth with an abundant supply of
thoughtlessness and a high-power
gun.
On with the hunt. The armed
tyro hears the crash in the brush or
sees a brush move, and pulls the
trigger. The scream of the victim,
if he lives long enough to utter a
death shriek is the serine. Kven
the careful hunter tuny be the vic
tim. He is as much in danger from
the fonl vvltli a gun as though h
wa re not himself after big game. II
can protect himself from his own
weapon and save others from it, but
high heaven cannot shield him or
others from the man who shoots by
guess.
On with the hunt. It Is deer that
the reckless hunter is after, but oc
casionally he gets a man. It is dis
tressing to the family to have th
husband and father shot in the
woods for a deer, a wildcat or a
(oon. but such, is the price of hunt
ing, and the prospective fate of the
hunter. If the open season lasted
long enouirh It. is easily believable
that (hero would be more mortality
among: the hunters than among the
deer. As the hunt goes on doubt
grows as to whether or not the game
is worth the candle. The Increas
ing list of fatalities must occasional
ly suggest to the thinking sportsman
that, while the deer shooting season
Is on, it is a good time to stay at
home, and keep alive.

THERE Is promise that the coun
try Is nearing a civic plane
where colossal corruption
funds are to be eliminated
from presidential campaigns. Con
gress refused to pass a publicity law,
but congress never leads in reforms.
That body Is a camp follower in the
forward march of national purifica
tion. Even men like congressman
Hawley, who go there with known
.convictions on moral and civic
Ideals, fail to break away from ser
vility to the oligarchy that is in con
trol, and with the rest, becomes a
follower rather Than leader tut higlu
er civic conditions.
It is outside of congress and
among the people that the move-
ment for eliminated election cor
ruption is erystalizing into force
ful effectiveness. Mr. ftryan leads,
and Mr. Taft joins in the plan. Per-
haps, if the Democratic party in.
eteatl, of the Republican party had
In late campaigns been the benef ic
lary of enormous syndicated contri
butions, Mr. Taft would lead and
Mr. Bryan bo the follower in the
movement. But Mr. Bryan and his
party have for 12 years been out of
tune with the interests of which
Standard Oil Is typical.
In any event what we have is ab-
eolute assurance that the contribu
tions to the Democratic campaign
will be made public two weeks be
fore the election. Mr. Bryan lias
promised it. The Denver Convention
declared for It. The .Democratic
committee has pledged it, and that
it will be faithfully and conscien
tiously done is certatin.
Mr. Taft has advised it. The Re
publican national committee has de
clared for it, although the Chicngo
convention refused to do so. But
for the present, unfortunately, the
plan of the Republican committee is
not to make the con tribut ions pub
lic until after the election. This
feature la ill advised, and will, if not
changed, cost Mr. Taft many votes
of independents who are for clean j
politics, and believe the purity of
the country is more important than
the question of what party shall con
fSfil. That the Republican commit
tee may, by pressure of public senti
ment, yet change its plan and give
publicity to contributions before
election, is possible. It will be in
finitely better, for it would be a
means of forcing the unwilling con
press to crystallize the movement
Into an effective law.
The country has been shocked by
the revelations concerning use of
boodle corruption funds In late cam
paigns. The groat insurance com

In appealing to Democrats to vote
for him, Mr. Taft said: "Patriotic
members of the party have refused
to bo controlled by party ties and
have either refrained from voting or
have supported the Republican can
didates. May we not appeal to
these courageous and independent
citizens to again give us their sup
port in this campaign, becaiiee the
reasons for their breaking the bonds
of party are stronger today than
ever." He probably had in view
such exceedingly 'patriotic" Demo
crats as Thomas F. Ryan. J. Pier
pont Morgan, Patrick II. McCarren,
.lames M. Guffey and others of their
sort. No doubt they will support
him; his acceptance speech suits
such "Democrats" exactly.

Tho theojoglans have touched the out

occasionally assisted In the good work
of curing a man sick with crime, and
have turned Ills energies Into useful
channels. They have worked a kind of
mental or spiritual cure on him.
Hut no scientific efforts have been
put forth that we have ever heard- of,
looking to an exhaustive treatise on tho
subject. The .criminal usually does not
want to be cured of his criminality.
Hul Instead of permitting him to go at
large to commit more crime, as Is done
wita the penitentiary Inmate, when his
term Is over, he should be cured of his
criminality if possible.
Tho vouth of the land wdio are af

the other crimes that a certain mental

Much less. then, when the facts are
understood, can Johnson be expected, and
much less likely may those of bin sup
porters who appreciate the disinterested
ness of his motives in politics he re
garded ns likely, to throw a chill upon
the Hryan campaign in Ohio. Johnson's
defeat for membership of the national
committee from Ohio was accomplished
by a trick of the group of men who
are Hryan's enemies in polities ns well
as Johnson's by a group who are ene
mies of what both of thiMu represent in
the Homoeratlc party. John K. McLean,
whose only public Interests aro in his
private privileges. Hernard his Demo-crtillc-niachlne
factotum, "Hoss" (.'ox his
Republican coadjutor these are the
men win), aided by ttie spoils-hunting
Jackals that infest political parties, nnd
favored by the storms that delayed rail
road trains and kept more than half of
Johnson's delegation away from Its or
ganization meeting, prevented Johnson's
election. It was really the best tribute
that such persons could pnv him. it
was the kind of tribute that Guffey paid
to iirvnn. Lverv such personal deloat
from such sources is an additional guar
antee to the genuine Iiomoerats of the
Democratic party, of Tom L. Johnson's
good faith. Hut ns to the campaign
for president, if Rryan falls to get the
electoral vote of Ohio it will lie the
fault, not of Tom L. Johnson and his
supporters, but of John It. McLean and
the Democratic spoils-hunting cang.
Among the normal and well noised
poopin there Is the tendency to seek the
sun. At sunrise, which Is the proper
time for mnkinu the test, the we 1 h:il-
aneeii will turn toward too sun; those
who shrink from It will turn away.
Experiments of u tentative nut tiro
were carried out In the orisons nf l.'nf
Flanders, In Holgium, with a view to
deeming- what ertect rigid incarceration
and open-air toll hud upon persona of
different temperaments to records. It
was found that the open-air treatment
had the effect of rendering the Incor
rigible really hopeless in management,!
but that on the contrary, when Incar
cerated they performed their allotted
innors conscientiously enough. On those
who had taken to criminal careers
rather by tha suggestion of others than
of their own natural tendency, work In
the sun bad an excellent effect In im
proving their characters. It was found
in the correctional establishments for
the young at (Jhent that in youths the
moral horoscope of any given boy cruil l
when in his normal health hu'almest
siathematicully cast, according to hl.i
disposition to seek the sunshine nr to
shun It. The essentially bad were im
pervious to sun rays, while the hope
ful cases showed distinct signs of ame
lioration when exposed to their warmth.
Without making a large number of
tests,' the truth or falsity of such i
theory would bo difficult or impossible
lo prove. Vet there Is a grain of prai -
Ileal truth which all mnllicis of chil

Opportunity.
l'rom Louis Post's Public.
It is very probable that a publication
like Collb r's Weekly, which often sponks
plainly upon social Iniquities, and some
times probes more deeply and analyzes
more keenly than Its patent medicine
exposures alone would Imply It Is prob
able, we say. that such a publication
must, for counting room reasons, main
tain a balance with occasional articles
cf a soothing nature. For that It may
be, forgiven. Hut its recent article on
"Opportunity" Is aristocratically cruel.
Its theme is the opportunities which
are open everywhere In the country to
the poor of our cities; and its sugges
tion for restoring the economic bal
ance, Is not the square deal, but an ex
odug of the poor from the cities to the
country. This "would insure. It says,
"fte.nerations of clean bodies and sound
minds, just as surely as keeping them
In the city, coddling them there and
putting premiums on the absence rather
than the presence of Initiative and self
reliance will breed a poor race." Oh,
the curse, the awful curse, of the sliver
spoon' How few who are born with It
are able, even with the best intentions,
to realize the most important of so
cial truths, the truth that It is not tho
incapacity of the poor that makes them
poor, nor any inherent Incapacity that
makes the incapable among them in
capable, but that It Is the burdens of
legalized privilege under which they
stnirger, and In consequence of which
there are silver spoons for others to be
born with. The reference In Collier's
article to J. Sterling Morton and his
big house as a Nebraska pioneer. Is an
example of the blindness of the silver
spoon variety of social student. It im
plies that Mr. Morton's career, culmin
ating In a seat in a president's cabi
net, was a product of his own log-house
Industry, initiative, self-reliance and
thrift. Hut the fact is that Mr. Mor
ton's political career was nothing to
be proud of Living in Nebraska, a
state hopelessly Republican, he formed
a Iemo,oratic clique which thrived upon
federal patronage In Nebraska when
there wns federal patronage for Demo
crats to give, and upon hopes fr It be
tween times And as to hs wealth. It
came, not from the toil of his own
hands, but from Increase In value of
the Nebraska lands he monopolized, due
to the initiative nnd self-reliance and
Industry of other men. Collier's article
would have been quite as intelligent
and no less cruel if it had attributed
the poverty of southern slaves, not to
the sluve laws of our country which
robbed the slaves of their earnings, but
to the Incapacity and lack of initiative
and self-reliance of the persons whom
those laws enslaved.
It Ik often a sense of loneliness that
drives a youngster from the out doors,
which Is so blir, to his mother's corner
of the house, and mothers find this a
hard thinjr to overconi,'. It sometimes
takes n long find imtient training to g- t
the child interested In nature study so
that he l willing to be alone out of
doors. Companions of his own age,
even if tliey have to be procured at
some trouble, will help. So will a falth
lul dog.
And still another point to be consid
ered, is that tho chill's eyes may h
affected. If the bright sun hurts lilt
eyes ami gives him a headache it Is only
natural for him to seek shelter. If his
eyes ere not keen enough to discern
nuts and bees It is no wonder he Is not
Interested In their doings. And if he In
color blind, and cannot tell a lady bug
from a clover leaf, ho will havo no Joy
In the small creatures.
So If h mm her doesn't know what
cr.n be tbe matter with Willie, win
won't stay out of doors and who seems
to bo so queer, it would be well to con
sult an oculist. If bis eyes are nil
right, tho tendency must be corrected bv
patient care. loving companionship, and
n more direct contact with the things
of nature than an imperative order to
"go nnd play" which is so often only
another way of saying, "keep out of my
way."
It Is not bocniiso we do not know bet
ter nnd have rot been properly trained.
Our grandmothers taught us nil tlm
correct and right things to do. We once)
were, a nation of polished manners.
Hut It Is the great desire to do big
things, which the American is so anx
ious to do at the sacrifice of taking
time to be courteous and polite, that
makes our women nnd men nod hurried
ly, half speak and smile absently.
The odd part of It is th.it wo deeply
appreciate the gracious manner.
"What h charming way that woman
has of speaking to even nn acquaint
ance." Is the ungrudging praise of those
who feel Its radiance.
Yet these critics wouldn't bother to
do more than duck the head when It
comes their time to speak to a passerby.
