SENATOR ALLISON.
SENATOR ALLISON, who died
suddenly yesterday, was espec
ially distinguished for his long
' Bervice la congress. He served
four terms In the house during the
sixties, and If he had lived would
liave been reelected next winter to
L "lila elxth consecutive term in the
senate. In the recent primaries
.held in Iowa ha beat Governor Cum
mins by a moderate majority. Sen
ator Allison has always been a strict
party man, who never made any
trouble for tire leaders, except dur
ing the early part of his career, when
he opposed high protection, but he
soon fell In with the policy of
-stronger men, and has always stood
'pat for whatever the leaders decided
"on ever since. He never was a real
leader himself, yet was a man of
considerable prominence In the sen
"ate, being for many years chairman
of the appropriations committee, a
very Important position. Though ai
rways adhering serenely to the party
program, Mr. Allison was never
charged with or suspected of any
personal wrongdoing, In public or
private life. The muckrakers got
nothing tangible off him. He was
a politician rather than a statesman,
and considering the era through
which his public service extended, he
was, for a strictly partisan politician,
an exceptionally clean and worthy
man. mere win aouDiiess oe h
.warm contest in the Iowa legislature
"next winter over the election of his
'successor, between Governor Cum
mins and some representative of the
Jowa machine.
.THE BOY ANT) THIS REVOLVER.
AN 11-year-old boy is a mur
derer, a nian in his prime lies
dead, there is sorrow and
misery in several hearts- tie
cause of the deadly, damnable re
volver. The revolver is of itself an Insen
tient thing; the blame falls on the
people who permit its general use.
'It rests especially on the boy's par
"ents, who kept a revolver where he
could get nt it, and who perhaps en
couraged him to use it, or at least
'permitted him to do so. That there
:was bad upbringing is shown es
pecially by the action of the sister,
who on 'l:c bov's den, and ran eager
ly to fn h the r- vlver to kill a
.man. These ibiblnn lacked the
first rudiments of civilization, had
"Hot learned the first elements of
obedience to law and respect for th
rights of others And It' Is in such
families tha' the loaded revolver,
.loaded for irurtbr, Is always found,
ready even for rh:Mre;.'s use.

"there has been foster, d the most
flagrant ballotbox stuffing that ever
went unpunished In any state. Men
stuffed the ballotboxes nt the pri
mary election, boasted of It and
laughed over their success." And
the editorial In the Orogonian reit
erates, as that paper does almost
dally, the falsehood that great num
bers of Democrats registered as Re
publicans and bo defeated the
strongest candidate for senator.
Professor Ie Cou did not make
these statements in his article, for
the simple reason that they are not
true. There la not and never was
any basis in truth for these asser
tions. No evidence whatever has
ever been presented to support them.
Not a single witness has been quoted
as to a single f;ict in support of this
story. It was an Invention of the
losers, and its repetition now is de
signed to furnish some slim shadow
of an excuse for Statement No. 1
legislators to break their pledge and
betray thoir trust.
It is probable that scattering
Democrats did register as Repub
licans and so vote in th" primaries,
which was wrong, but there is not a
particle of evidence that there was
any concerted movement or action of
that kind, or that more of those
Democrats voted for Cake than for
Pulton; the presumption would be
that under the circumstances fxist
ing last April more of thorn voted
for Fulton than for Cuke,. And nt
nil events, this "ballotbox stuffing,"
consisting of here and there a Demo-i
cratlc vote, was negligible as com-;
pared with the wholesale, systematic
ballotbox stuffing carried on under ;
to private life. The nation Is awakening-
shaking itHclf as a rtrong man
from sleep and more of Its power
and brain is henceforth going to the
conduct of its public business and
the government of itself."
THE SEASON OF KIRKS.

I
forest fires.' K"n where the tim
ber has mostly been cut tli"ro is
in mant cases enough material
to feed destructive and spreading
flames. The cutting of timber and
recently adopted means of forest pro
tection have done much to prevent
great forest fires, but they cannot
be entirely prevented, however many

provided. i'eopie fire piouamy on

DECEPTION LIES
the former system, which the Or
Honlan is trying to revive.
That paper Is bitterly hostile not
only to Statement No. 1 and to elec
tion of senators hy the people, but
to the primary law, to the Inltiatlvo
and referendum, to direct legisla
tion, to every' measure and move
ment calculated to transfer power
from the party machine to the peo
ple. Again yesterday It referred to
Oregon ns "the fool of the family"
of states, because it has partly ac
complished this transfer. That pa
per Is also of course in entire antaR
onlym to Professor De Cou when he
says of the results:
"Time will check tho tendency to
bring local and sectional propo
sitions before the electorate. The
I'eneral result seems to be that the
voters have been roused to unwonted
interext in public questions, are
studying them carefully and intel
ligently, and will vote honestly for
the best Interests of tho state. The
results of the last two elections tend
to confirm strongly the faith of
thinking men in the ability of the
people to decide great publlo ques
tions wisely by direct legislation."
This is trae, too, as the rest of his
artlclo is, and the people of Oregon,
unless we are much mistaken, are
point; to hold on to what they have
pained, and If they smash every
party machine that tries to do busi
ness all the better. Whether Ore
gon goes Re; ublican or Democratic
is not of any real, personal conse
quence to 90 out of every 100 of it",
people; but whether they secure the
ri'ht kind of men to serve them fs
or consequence, and that they shall
maintain the Initiative and referen
dum, the primary law, and the State
ment No. 1 law, Is of consequence.
This reiterated falsehood about
thousands of Democrats stuffing the
Republican hallotboxea Is merely a
persistent attempt of a discredited,
corrupt machine organ to seduce
members of the legislature from
I heir sworn duty. The people chose
tl.oir Fi'uatur; that ought to settle It.
And in no possible way can Repub
lican politicians do so much to break
up their party and make Oregon a
Democratic state as by succeeding in
making these falsehoods and paltry
evcus-s accomplish tl.oir object.
Knifed States, and most of these
workers must be paid; few are going
to do this work for nothing. So the
qtie.-t'.nn arises: Does it pay? Whom
does It pay? Who finally' pay, and
how? And if the trusts and cor
porations contribute millions to car
ry on this work, and ail to aid one
party, don't they expect to get re
paid If that parly v. ins? And Isn't
it tho masses of peopie who finally
have to foot the bills, in legislation
and administration favorable to those
who paid thus to carry the elect'ou?
What would be said of Mr.

ably to be open, frank and candid
with the people In this matter is
rather undignified, but perhaps the
common people will forgive that.
"The people of Oregon, by means
of Statement N'o. 1. declared that
they want for I'nited States senator
neither a Derm c rat nor a Repub
lican, but a non-partisan. But when
Chamberlain turns partisan, who is
the people's choice?" Oregonlan.
The people did not declare anything
of tho kind. Thev declared that thev

PARTY PRINCIPLES AND THE PEOPLE

The above Juggle and bunco atyle of
writing about political principles would
discredit tha Intelligence of a Jack
rabbit.
TheiM are conditions that require the
people at times to vote for candidates
of the opposite political faith.
Those conditions existed In Oregon
when the people twice voted for a Dem
ocrat for governor for Pennoyer and
Chamberlain of lata years.

"Have men anv political principles at
all? They ought to have. They have
been educated tn their politics for 60
yoars by the Oregonlan.
1 1 has beon a declared political prin
ciple of the Republican party for 10
years to elect senators by the direct
vote of the people.
Republican conventions and Republi
can lugislatures have declared for that
principle over and over, and the Ore
tfonlan has uphold It
Now a man getn himself chosen for
senator who Is not tho choice of the
machine and the principle must be trod
den under foot.
The manhood of Oregon has been edu
cated to tha aoiindneaa of that principle
Labor Is Divided
From the Portland Labor Tress.
That the Independence party with Its
splendid platform of principles will
help to complicate the political situa
tion Is a fact that admits of no con
tradiction. With all four parties centering their
efforts on securing the labor vote a
four-cornered fight, it Is thought, can
have but the one effect of enhancing
tho prospects of the one who cornea
nearest to filling the bill for the or
ganized and active enemies of labor.
That candidate, without question. Is
Ta 1 1.
Thus, again, without the shadow of
a itoibt is labor almost hopelessly
J handi. apped, for while few will ques
; lieu the sincerity of the various can
I filiates or the perfect right of eRch
party to get into ttie fig-fit, promulgate
its . platform and solicit support from
wherever support can bo had, there aro
llkowlse few who will for one moment
Indulge the hope, that either one of tha
two Junior parties can be successful.
In view of the general and seemingly
well-founded boiler that platforms count
for 111 tie or nothing. It Is felt to be a
pity that there cannot be an opportunity
for a fair fight between tho elemen's
behind Taft and those behind Bryan,
lebs and Hlsgen.
ir the i;ne eonM be thus drawn unn
labor could express Its strength in the
support or one man, tnat man and his
party would be very apt to deliver to
labor some of the things It demands.
Tha essential difference between the
piiri'Mplen of Iiebs and those of Bryan
or Hlsgen are recognized bv more than
tlm followers of Pebs. but the differ
ence of opinion as to the most certain
meuis of accomplishing reform Is
eyually strong.
If national organization means any
thing politically; If labor recognizes Its
h-.en representatives, then the mom-bers'-lp
of the American Federation f
I -hor should support Brvan. as It prob
ably will In so t.'ir as Its organization
Is representative In a political way.
Labor's official spokesmen went to
the liemocratlc convention with a defi
nite rdim st and the request was
granted. 1 'nrloubtedly that obligates
the Individual in so far as he respect!
'i ml reenjmizea the best advice of his
constituted representative, Mr. Comper:.
It may be, however that the time
has no: yet come for labor to get to
gether, but the plan indications are th it
the time is riot a great way off.

and will dare maintain the principle If
iieceaaary.
Let the bosaea and the moneybatfi
dare try to overthrow that principle
and 20.D00 voters will camp around the
atalenouso ami aee that their rupre
son tat Ives live up to their principles
and pledges.
If the principle that the innlorltv
ahall rule hua got to be established
once more by primary methods it ahull
be done.
If the majority rule ahall be over
thrown on senatorial elections, It cun
be overthrown on the local option law
and all along the line and In place of
government by directors and anarchy.
Of course It waa perfectly proper, ac
cording to tho Oregonlan. for tho dele
gutes from Oregon to the national He-
publtcuii convention to veto ugalnst
election of senators by the illtei t oin
of the people, after tha party In Oregon
has declared lor that urlnclnlo 10
15 times In state consentient) and slut )
leglBlaturea. and after the people of
this state have carried laws by vote of
three to one to accomplish thut very
result
But such Drourletv is in fundamental
violation of the Republican principle
mat me will or the majority shall be
reapected.
It was all right, according to the Oro
gonian. for the delegates to the national
Republican convention to voto against
the direct primary system of making
nominations when it was sought to be
introduced In the national Republican
platform. But the people of Oregon
whom they pretend to bo representing
havo nactod that law, have voted for
It by three voters out of four, find no
one Is proposing or pretending to re
peal the lnw as enacted by tlm people
Those delegates had ft right as Indi
viduals to vote against the direct pri
mary, but have the people who enacted
those laws by a vote of four to one, no
rights that aren't entitled to bo re
spected? The answer will come later.
Letters From the People
More Silly Twaddle
Portland, Aug. S. To the Kill tor of
The Journal - Over and again tha Ore
gonlan repeats the silly twaddle about
the Democrats having registered find
voted as Republicans at the late pri
mary election In such great numbers ai
to determine who should become the
Republican candidates for office for the
purpose of later defeating such candi
dates in the general election. The Oro
gonian worked Itself Into a fine frenzf
of sophisticated utterance before II
reached a conclusion eyuaJIy as Improb
able that the primary law and selec
tion of a senator by the pople Is to be
ahandoned
How about this? The people want to
know. if tlie Oregonlan is In posses
sion of Information on these points the
public Is entitled to something more
than reiteration. Why not rlve a list
of such voters In Multnomah county, for
Instance? It would bo interesting.
Likewise the names of those who are
clamoring for the repeal of the primary
law and "Statement No. 1." In view of
the fact that the Oregonlan Is given to
wild utterances on thlntrs political foiih
thing In support of lis oft repeated as
sertions might
make them more effec
live. It is not far back In the files of
Its editorial pages to columns of ex
ultation over the entrance into Repub
lican ranks of certain "gold" Democrats
a few of whom doubtless remain for
reasons not necessary to relate. Aside
from these tho names of Democrats reg
istering as Republicans would bo hard
to ilinl. The Orcgonlan's assumption
that the small number of Democrats
registering and voting as such in the
primaries is evidence that they must
have voted as Republicans is in keep
ing with Its customary political balder
dash. The Democrats took no Interest
in the primary because It had no con
tests. Being a minority party with
strong men conspicuously announced for
the Important offices, the gnat major
ity were satisfied to leave the scrap
ping to their political opponents, whose
ch!ef Idea of both party and government
nas ever been spoils, and believing
that such Democratic candidates would
be the eipial of any opponents that
might be chosen for them.
In this tho Republicans had a great
advantage, as they practically knew at
the primary the names of the men their
candidates must il.'feit In order to be
fleeted, while with the Democrats It
made no diner.-nce w ho w is nano-.i by
the Republican party, their can.il. bite's 1
were strong, clean and free from tabit. i
I In tho notable Instance of a choice for
i.niu-n Biaies senator, tne voters were I
are new and will continue to be. of ni
mind to take this matter in their own!
hands, to tho end that our legisl.it Ive I
session might be something more than
a political broil with Its attendant o.l- r
of "fat" and taint of corruption. So
strong was this sentiment umong lie
publican votets with no sellish ends to
serve that thev preferred a man sound
in this particular rather than one upon
whom they could not rely to safeguard
their valued privilege.
Then why this great wall from i pa
per that represents Itself as having mi
ends to serve beyond the general koo'J
of nil mankind? Why all this prating
about party and contumely of utterance
In nil things political when the Interests
of the Republican party Is in Jeopardy?
Why this persistent misrepresentation
when both the Republican party and the
notable publication Itself has been
obliged within a decade to reverse Itself
in nearly every Important particular in
order that It may retain a semblance of
standing with the honest American citi
zen who is but now awakening to the
responsibilities of citizenship?
Briefly this. It has reached the nge
of garrulity when "all Is vexation of
spirit." Its disappointment over Its,
failure after f0 years to establish Itself
as the dominating lcal Influence of a
great psrtv and the disappointment of
its chief, when the senatorial rainbow
disappeared from the horizon of his
vlaw have combined to unsettle a strong
will and develop a clearly pronounc,.,)
case of "mnur'h ' So from tlie f.j tress,
