Scott assumes to advise Members of the Oregon legislature to do a dishonorable act and to violate their pledges to the people, it is eminently proper to inquire ' into his motives and to demand from him an explanation. He is not a mere private individual, he is the editor of the leading Republican paper of the state and the public has a right to know to the fullest extent his reasons for this counsel of dishonor. Two days ago The Journal asked Mr. Scott a question which he has not seen tit to answer. The question is this: Suppose, Mr. Scott, that you, a Republican, had been a candi date for the legislature in the recent primaries, and had pledged yourself to Statement No. 1, thereby promising "t6 the people of Oregon, as well as to the people of your district," that during ydur term of office you would "always vote for that candidate for United States senator in congress who had received the highest number of the people's votes for that position at the general election next pre ceding the election of a senator in congress, without regard to your individual preference ; suppose that, having given this pledge, you were nominated bv your party in the primaries, and afterward elected in the June election, Chamberlain receiving at the same time the popular vote for I nited Mates senator. Under these circum stances, Mr. Scott, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? The Tourn.il. demanded and again demands from you, Mr, Scott, a candid, straightforward answer. There must be no dodging and no quibbling. .Neither can you at lord to ignore the question. The people of Oregon have learned to look with suspicion upon WHT CON'CEAL THE FACTS? rour counsels and to question your sincerity, tor the senatorial campaign of 1903 is still fresh in the public recollection.

THE Republican leaders, editors and other spokesmen of Oregon are constantly unbralding one another for not fupportlng and Btandlng solidly for Republican "principles." Each one accuses the ! others of putting bis personal ambi tions and grudges ahead of his ... party's "prlncJpk-s." Nobody says ' what these "principles " are, but It seems to be tacitly assumed that "" there are some "principles," cn which all are or should be agreed. It Is also assumed on the surface that adherence to and maintenance f of these "principles" are Important, and ought to be held more fo than tha success of any faction or indi vidual, yet as a matter of fact all! the efforts made are In beha!f of a faction or some Individual, and not for the "principles." Ve learn this not only from observation, but from the Republican spokesmen them selves. Under these circumstance, may not rotert Inclined to the exercise of intelligent. Independent Judgment reasonably suspect that there are no "principles." that they are only a pretense, that the spoils of office are what is being sougLl, and per kap opportunities to serve those mho ttn pay well for betrayal of the people?

No other na tion Is bo self dependent; on no other does the rest of the world so much depend. And we are only de veloped in a small degree yet. It NDER the heading: "Square Deal First Higher Rates May Follow," the current issue of the Iron Trade Review takes precisely the same po3itlon that The Journal has taken on the question of Increased freight rates; that is, the people must flret be shown by honest figures and the completest information that such In crease is necessary. "Certainly," saysthe Review, "no one in the iron business favors any policy that is unfair to the railroads." Neither does anybody else. But to speak plainly, nobody places any confi dence In the big railroad men's representations. The Review continues: "There is a widespread feeling among all busi ness men that many railroads have resorted to reprehensible practices, and do not come before the people with clean hands when they plead to be permitted to increase freight rates." It is almost universally be Heved that the railroad men have not been honest and frank in their financial statements, and everybody knows that they have engaged in outside speculations and question able practices; and before helping them out of their difficulty with in creased rates the public wants to know all about their business and have assurance that these improper If not illegitimate practices will cease. As the Iron Trade Review says : Let there be the molt searching- In vestigation to determine what the actu al facts are In every case, and then all fair-minded Americans will cheer fully acquiesce in the result. When the public becomes convinced that hlglier charges are necessary to meet legitimate expenses and that there will be no buying; of securities of other railroads, or other questionable us of funds, thpre will be no opposition to reasonable advances in rates. rency.

Letters From the People The Fool of the Family. To the Editor of The Journal A short time ago under the above cap tion (minus the question mark) the Oregonlan held the state up to ridicule. Yesterday it repeated the offense. We might allow our indignation to cool nder this repeated slur, but will not do eo. Why Is our etate branded as "Th Fool of the Family?" Because we have grown tired of grafting, dlsreputabl leaders, and are striving to fight down corrupt political rings of whatever party. It was not when the Republican vot ers elected a Mitchell, a Hermann. ( Williamson, or a Fulton that the Ore gonlan and other corrupt organs of political rings pointed their fingers and cried "fool, fool!" though they might have done so with some reason. It Is When they feel their hold on the people weakening. It Is when they hear the rumbling of the avalanche that will sweep them and their miserable politic al chicanery away that they seek to stop that avalanche by crying "fool! itics. On the Quiet W. M.
