THE COMMITTEE AND OREGON
A variety of bloods Is nec
essary In nations as well as
ln families, for the health
and well-being; of the race.
Fr Joseph Roux.
T MIT.HT bo well for Chairman
Hitchcock and Ms assistants In
Oregon, In the Interest of Mr.
Taft, to realize the fact (hat It
Is not the small minority f Pino
crats but a largo proportion of the
Republicans of Oregon as well, that
adopted and are htnnclltig by the pri
mary law, the election of senators by
the people, the Initiative and refer
endum, and direct legislation. It
was the people of Oregon, Itepub-
lleans as well as Democrats, that
turned down Fulton hecau.se he op
posed Statement No. 1. and that
also turned down Cake, because he
failed to utantl by that statement;
nd there Is no Indication that the
people of this state have changed
their mind on this proposition. They
are determined to elect their sen
ators, and they are not worrying
over or regretting their choice. Most
Republicans of Oregon are doubtless
pretty well satisfied with Taft as a
presidential candidate, but many of
them will properly resent Intorfor-
nee with this state's nffalrs by the
Republican national committee, even
if Senator Fulton advises such Inter
fo renof.
Let the committee attend to It
business of trying to hold the K
puhllean voters to Taft, and by
proper means getting all the votes
they can for him, to which nobody
can object; but the committee will
do Its cause far more harm than
good by taking up Senator Fulton's
grievance and trying to break down
our primary law, our system of di
rect leglslttlon, and the. election of
.senators by the people. There are
thousands of Republican voters who
will not stand for that.
SENATOR FULTON MISTAKEN"
TN AN Interview with a represent
atlve of The Journal yesterday
I Senator Fulton said: "The
question as I view It as to
whether or not I will become a can
didate before tho legislature for re
election la not important and I am
giving it no consideration whatever
The question is shall a state with
a large Republican majority thor
oughly committed to and believing
In Republican principles and pol
icies, be represented In the Fnited
States senate by a Democrat? So
far as I am concerned I do not hesi
tate to say that I think it should be
represented by a Republican; by
one who will represent the political
convictions of a large majority of
the Toters of this state."
Senator Fulton Is mistaken as to
what "the question" Is, if the poli
ticians are determined to raise a
"question" with reference to the
senatorshlp next winter. The ques
tion will be: Shall the people's will
charge of bird shot, presumably at a
fowl, and one or two of the shots
reached the vessel and struck but
did not Injure one of the party.
There is no evidence that anybody
was shooting at Mr. taft, and the
story that he was shot at was a pure
fabrlcat Ion.
INDEPENDENT VOTERS NEEDED.
A'
T)e done and their law be obeved?
This will be the paramount ques
tion, and those who do not respond
to It affirmatively, especially if they
are pledged and oathbound to do 60,
will be as politically dead as Bene
' diet Arnold ever after.
Senator Fulton, after tbe habit of
politicians, puts party first, the peo
ple after or, rather, the people are
not considered at all. Since the
people of Oregon, Republicans and
Democrats together, have decided
the senatorshlp and instructed the
legislature, and have by a great ma
jority adopted a law declaring that
their action shall be decisive, there
Is no further "question" properly to
come before the next legislature. It
Is not for Senator Fulton nor any
body else to arrogate to himself the
prerogative of saying that the peo
ple of Oregon cannot choose a Demo
crat for senator and elect other Re
publican officers. This they have
done, and they have, or should have,
that right, and any efforts of Sen
ator Fulton to overthrow that re
Bult will most certainly Injure his
party and its candidates, from Taft
down.
STILL MORE INHARMONY.
HOW difficult, how impossible,
is harmony in a big-majority
party when each of its factions
is determined to construct a
machine that will command a cam
paign fund and grind out profitable
(spoils. Even within the newspaper
pur Ileus of the tall-tower building
the political noises are rasping)- in
harmonious, the'' bead of the news
paper trust growling one tune and
the tail squeaking another, some
thing unprecedented, and indicating
that In this conflict over "prin
ciples" as productive of campaign
boodle even the Oreqonlan family
can't maintain harmony.

VIEW of the party leadern In
the great state of New York
does not conduce to a favor
able opinion of "government
by parties." It Is true that owing to
peculiar circumstances the Repub
lican party was forced against the
will of its leaders to nominate
Hughes for governor, and will have
to do so again, but they hate him,
and would beat him If they could.
He is not of them, despises them,
and In their estimation is not a Re
publican. It was an exceptional
case that, owing to his prosecution
of the insurance scandals, he be
came so strong tnai me leaner
could not defeat him and it ought to
be a lesson to the people every where
(hat they can beat their party
bosses and machines if they will se
lect the right sort of a candidate and
make an effort to assert their
power. Governor Hughes, how
ever, does not tako much of a band
in politics, and In sending delegates
to the Chicago convention, and in
most political activities, the corrupt
machine bosses still have their way.
It ! they who, probably, will dic
tate the nominees for the legisla
ture and eolect tho next United
States senator. He may be an Im
provement on Piatt, but If the party
bosses have their way he will not be
a representative of the people to any
appreciable extent.
The Democratic party is, If pos
sible, under even more disgraceful
domination, that of Boss Murphy
and his vulgar, detestable, tool,
"Fingey" Connors. Murphy s i;oie
object is the spoils of tho city of
Creator New York, and no thought
if Connors ever rises higher than
boodle. And It is such creatures as
these that the Democrats of .New-
York allow to head and control the
party organization. Connors talks
about whom be will nominate for
governor and send to the senate.
Murphy smiles, knowing that it Is
he, not Connors, who will select
candidates. The hundreds of thou
sands of Democratic voters have no
more voice In the matter than If
Ihev lived in Canada. And this Is
the boasted control by party organ
ization. If the Independence party ever
grows to amount to anvihing more
than hurting Bryan some, it will be
the same. It. too, will have its or
ganization, its machine, Its bosses,
spoils and plunder being the object.
I What is neo-ded is not independent
parties, but independent voters, mil
lions of intelligent, partlotlc men
who are Republicans today and
liemociats tomorrow, or vice versa,
if the party to which they have ad
hered does not fairly fulfill expecta
tions, keep promises and serve the
pi ople. A multiplicity of parties

occasionally Is what is
subterfuge, no sophistry, no falsely
pretended new discoveries, no excuse
that any ringleader or unconsclon-
ji bio editor can invent, will excuse
them from keeping that pledge.
In other respects they are free to
do as they please; they may ally
themselves with whatever faction
they choose; they may stand by
Cake or follow Fulton; they may
vote as suits them on organization;
but tho senatorshlp question, by the
people's votes and the positive, sol
emn pledge of about 50 members, is
settled. All these assumptions that
it is not settled amount to insinua
tions that some unidentified mem
bers are going to prove baso liars to
nnd betrayers of tho people who
have honored nnd trusted them. The
Journal declines to believe that
there nre any such men among
them.

R. GEORCF J. GOULD ts
quoted as saying: "The re
versal of the enormous fine
imposed on the Standard Oil
company by Judge Landis will go
far toward restoring foreign con
fidence In American securities and
advancing American credit abroad.
I am hopeful of the future and also
believo that Tnft should be elected."
Mr. Gould is logical and candid.
Standard Oil is the biggest of the
predatory "interests." They are all
allied; their "groups" harmoniously
cooperate. Their object Is to make
enormous profits at tho people's ex
pense, and to secure and maintain
laws and administrations that will
enable them to fix prices and so
make these profits as large as they
please. In effect, this amounts to
the power In the hands of a few
groups of corporations of unlimited
taxation of the whole people.
The government has the power of
unlimited taxation, and the govern
ment Is theoretically the people.
But only theoretically. It has be
come or Is becoming in fact these
corporations. President Roosevelt
has himself said so. In effect. Hence
a few very rich men are to have this
power, one clearly tending practic
ally to enslave the masses. Speaking
for all these interests, Mr. Gould
frankly says:
"I believe that Taft should
elected."

petence of the country's legal machinery
to cope with the skilled chicanery of the
legal advisers of unscrupulous com

before the whole world of crime against

Pendleton has now been dry for near
ly a month nnd the people have had an
opportunity to see what prohibition Is
like It is not bad.
During the past month Pendleton has
been the same bustling little city It has
always been. True, the police court lias
been ouiet. for there have been prac
tically no arrests since the first of the
month. A few men have left town and
people traveling Main streot no longer
see the, drunken, blear-eyed faces that
once stared at them from the saloon
fronts. Some of tho saloon locations
are, still unoccupied.
But business ln general has been good.
Merchants have found that the town Is
not mined. A few customers may have
been lost, but for thin tho store men
are recompensed by t lie fact that those
won remain have more money to spend
with them There are scon s -of men In
this town who are now buying dry goods
and groceries with money which they
formerly squnpdered In saloons to the
neglect of, their loved ones and their
own degradation.
For the future the outlook was proti-
alilv never brighter for Pendleton than
at present The city Is ln line for a
gravity water svstom nnd n city park. A
city hall is being built and the town
will soon have a splendid federal build

From the Chicago Uecord-IIerald.

K'nedom had no rivalries except in
t!ie ways of ponce. He said that neither

let, aied significantly to the conditions

are no f ort i f !o,a Ions upon our frontier
nnd no warships on the waters whieii
divide It. and we believe and fervently
tope that (here will never be need of
aw defer.s(ye prep.a rn t i on s between us"
AVe know that there nre some few
people in this country who talk about
owning I'anada as if they were about
to increase their private property by a
larrn or a town lot through the ncojiil-
smon of that lountry. und there are
others who let their Imagination roam
over tbe entire continent because of a
certain patriotic luxury that it gives
them. Put the vice-president undoubt

of the most toothsome of all the
various pineapple desserts:
Pineapple Cream Shred very fine and
bring to a boll with half a pound of
sugar, strain over half an ounce of
gelatine which has been dissolved In
just enough cold water to cover It.
When cold, but ndt yet formed, stir ln
the beaten whlteR of three eggs and
half a pint of whipped cream; pour Into
a mold and sot on b e to cool. If you
use the ennncd. shredded pineapple,
which Is almost like preserves, you -will
not need to add the sugar.
l'laln Sponge Cake I'ut half a pound
of castor sugar into a basin and break
In four eggs; beat well for fullv a ounr-
ter of an hour with an egg whisk, then
add by degrees half a pound of sifted
flour mixed with half a teaspoonful of
baking powder, and a little essence of
vanilla mixed with two tahlespeonf uls
of fresh milk. Heat all together light
ly, then pour Into a well-greased cake
tin and plai e at once in a v ery hot oven.
Moderate the heat to coolness and bake
for 20 minutes to half an hour.
