T HE Oregonian has) much to Bay of the treachery of Repub licans to their party. Of course such charges are Billy . ;l and puerile. Intelligent men recog nlze the fact that blind slavish ad- ' herence to party is one of the great I est menaces to a Republican form of ,1 government. Our chief hope of goad !J government, both of the state and of the nation, lies in the independent voter, who recognizes the fact that "J his duty as a citizen is far above his 1 duty as a partisan. , I But let us take for a moment the J view point of our discontented con- temporary. What shall be said of the "treachery" of the Oregonlan? I During the campaign which preceded I the last June election, when did the 'J Oregonian make the slightest effort , to secure the election of II. M. Cake, the party's nominee for United States senator? It is notorious that I Mr. Scott's paper maintained ! throughout that campaign an atti I tude of absolute neutrality, never making the least attempt to secure Cake's -election. It may be asked whether or not the Oregonian could have changed the result of the election by active espousal of Cake's cause. He was defeated by 1,5 2 2 votes. A change of 762 votes, or a trifle over one half of one per cent of the entire reg istered vote of the state, from Cham berlain to Cake, would have resulted in the election of the Republican nominee. Some people would say that if the Oregonian had made nn earnest, vigorous campaign in Cake's behalf, striving to the utmost of its ability to secure his election, it might have swung to him 762 of the votes that were cast for Chamber- .Jaln. Some people would consider ' thfs an over-estimate of the paper's influence in Oregon politics. Some ' believe that Cake made a better race without the Oregonian's support than he would have made with it. Upon this question it would be in vidious for The Journal to express an opinion. But if the Oregonlan were asked - -whether it could influence 762 out of the 120,000 votes in Oregon, doubtless it would reply in the af firmative. The leading Republican paper of the state would scarcely place a lower estimate upon its own ability to affect results in a political campaign. Let us, for the sake of argument, concede that the Ore gonian's estimate of its own influ ence is correct. Where, then, does the "blame" He for Cake's defeat? Obviously at the door of the Ore gonian. For while thousands of Re publicans bolted their party's nom inee for United States senator, the great majority of them are men who make no pretension to blind party loyalty and who believe that the duty of the voter to the state and the nation is far higher than the duty to party. Not so with the Oregonian. It is the constant exponent of the idea that the first and greatest obliga tion of every Republican voter is tn his party. It brands as a traitor" every Republican who dares to Fcratch the ticket. By this .standard it measures every Republican in the etate, with one solitary exception the editor of the Oregonian. Why ' make this exception' If slavish loy- M R. CAKE was not nominated by Democratic votes. Mr. Fulton was not defeated by Democratic votes. Tho Dem ocrats had no more to do with the result in either case than did the tides of the ocean. The men who make the contention are so complete ly out of touch with those who do the voting that they do not under stand what is in the mind of the common poople in Oregon. These men close their eyes and re fuse to see what is on the horizon. They refuse to believe that the farmer in his field, the stockman on his ranch, the mechanic at his bench and the laborer at his task want the people and not 4 6 legislators and a few bosses to choose senator. They refuse to understand even in spite of the overwhelming and lneontes lible evidence that nearly 70,000 electors voted in the recent election, not only for Statement No. 1, but to make it 'compulsory. If men seek for evidence of what the electorate wants and it determined to have, can they not see what these 70,- 000 votes mean? Can they not see that it was the senti ment that was behind these 70,000 votes that nominated Mr. Cake and defeated Mr. Fulton? - Who Is Mr. Fulton that he could run counter to the firm convictions of 70,000 voters in this state, and yet require them to nominate him for senator over Mr. Cake who was in harmony with the convictions of those 70,000 men? Who is Mr. Fulton now that he seems to believe that he can thrust down the throats of these 70,000 men, in spite of their personal convictions, his pet method of electing senator "In which men of the highest character did things they regretted ever after?" Mr. Cake's nomination .was not a question of Democrats registering as Republicans, and thso who make the contention simply discredit them selves before the people of the state. Mr. Cake simply placed himself in harmony with the views of 70,000 Oregon voters and thereby made himself possible. Mr. Fulton took a contrary course and made himself impossible. He made himself an impossibility by defying the inevit able, and seems in a fair way to con tinue the game. and there was no factional fight agaliiHt Withyconibe at all. It was Just a "fair, square" choice. Other Incidents occurred to sour the Ore gonian, and It naturally could not long adhere to tho good, fair doc trine of this editorial, and so It be gan to make trouble, to luclte fac tionalism, to dictate and '"browbeat to aeeiisH and abuse, and to oppose not only tho primary law, but, later the Initiative and referendum, elec tion of senators by the people, and everything it had temporarily sup ported, or affected to support. For months past it has been scold ing, reviling, denouncing, trying In a sort of blind rage to tear down everything It had commended. It fin's stirred up more factional strife in the Republican party during tho past two ytnrs than all the rest of the papem and people of the state put together, and now it is advising Statement No. 1 members of the luar islature to take a course of action at Salem next winter that would drive tena of thousands of Republicans out of the party. Just for contrast, Just to show how on rare occasions tho. Oregon ian can be truthful and reasonable and fair, a careful reading of the above: quotation should be interest ing. Small Change STRKET SPRINKLING. 0 NE OF THE needs of the times is something that will obviate the use of water for street sprinkling, at least in the ex pensive and unsatisfactory way it Is used now. Oil has been tried in some small towns with apparent suc cess, and has been experimented with to some extent in larger cities, but does not seem to have come into general favor. Now it is proposed to experiment some more in this city, and the results will be watched with much interest. If all cities should adopt oil as a dust-layer, it might create such a demand as to raise tho price, though probably other oil fields will be discovered, so that the quantity nmy be sufficient. As yet Rockefeller does not own all the oil fields, though he controls the output and price of refined oil and in a great measure of crude oil too, na he must in many cases be' relied upon as a purchaser. ( The oil in the ground ought to belong to the people, and the coal too, but the people's representatives sold them out generations ago, and have continued to cfo so ever since. But if oil cannot be depended upon or proves unsatisfactory, may not some discoverer find a substitute, or at least, if water must she used, in vent, some way of distributing it more scientifically and at less ex pense?

N ITS issue: of April 23, 1906, soon after the first primary elec tion held in Oregon, the Ore gonian commended the new sys tem and approved the results. It said that there was "ground to be lieve that the factional differences in the Republican party of Oregon were at an end," that "causes of dif ferences and divisions have ceased; the fires of all antagonism have burned out; a united Republican party therefore is now possible. It comes about in the course of thingq. Therefore the Republican party may now, for the first time in many years, act as a united party. Party name is no fetich, it is no sym bol or Idol to be worshipped. The question always is, What does a po litical party stand for? Those fires have burned to ashes, and the ashes no longer hold live coals. So now the Republican party of Oregon is at the end of its dlssentions. The time has come when it can be, when ii is a united party. Xo clique, no faction, no lis directs or controls its proceedings. Through the pri mary law its meinlHTs come forward to indicate b their votes the candi dates they want. Tarty conventions, or combinations in conventions, can not juggle with their votes or with their wlshe. We have nomination fllty to the party standard is to lie iihiilo by direct voice of the1 people the test for other?, vhy not apply jt ( fill candidates having equal chances. to him as well? And if the March! It if s fair and just as any The Oregonian has discovered, through his public confession, one man who says that he is or was a Democrat and registered and voted as a Republican last April. He now lives at Tacoma, having been, it seems, a temporary resident of this state. So far, then, one out of an alleged 20,000 or so has been dis covered. Where are the other 19,-999? Mr. Harriman will soon be in Ore gon, but that is no sign that he in tends to begin the construction of the bridge and little piece of road to divert the traffic from Fourth street, or the Tillamook line, or the Coos bay line, or the Central Oregon line. He wants freight rates increased, more millions of money out of Ore gon, but will build no railroads here so far as anybody knows. Now, Taft has talked Into the tihono- grupb. too.

Mr. Harriman has been talking for publication again, but he did not tell how much he had contributed or was going to contribute to save tht country auiii. Judge Emory Sperr of Georgia In a recent freight rate decision said: "Wherever there is a wrong there Is a remedy." This Is an old saying of law yers, but. with due deference to the honorable court, It isn t so. Tom Watson accused Br van of hav ing voted against Crisp for speaker when In congress, but it turns out that Bryan voted for Crisp. hut Watson voted, alone, for himself. Tom Is like the parrot talks too much. In April, 190fi. the Orecronian said: "By bosses of conventions Willis Duni way had been choused and jiiKgled out of the nomination for state printer for a long time. But when he could come straight before the people, he 'got there.' " Yes, and some other good men have "got there." and some unfit men have, failed; but now the Oregonian wants uie conventions again. From the American Lumberman. A decision which will be Interesting to many ahlppers, and which nmy bo of decided advantage to theiur" wan given out by the Interstate commerce com mission this week. Particularly In the gash nnd door trade has there been uu effort to se cure the advantago of the carload rate on less than carload shipments by com bining small shipments, where they were destined to the same territory, Into one carload lot. Such an arrange ment was effected between Chicago and Pittsburg. For example, shinned from Chicago its a carload, consigned to some one In Pittsburg, that party could dis tribute the ahliiments through that city. and by rail to nearby points, on local small lot rates and thus save a con siderable sum to the original shippers. But the railroads have always ob jected to this practice on the ground that It was an evasion of the published rates and kept them out of their lexltl- ninte earnings. Usually they have suc ceeded In breaklnir uu this practice. either by direct refusal to accept car loads thus made up or by delaying de livery, etc. The commission has decided, however. that shippers may combine small Quan tities of freight of various owiieisjiip, either through arrangement among themselves or through the medium of a forwarding agency, shipping the com bined lot at the relatively lower rate applicable to large shipments. This de cision was made on the ground that the I ownership of property oannot be made a conclusive tet as to the applicability of rates; that, tn faot, such shipment Imposes no burden upon the carriers above that preeented by any carload shipment and, therefore, thut the rates and earnings or tne road are not un Justly lessened. Pending receipt of the text of this decision we cannot state tne commis sion's attitude as to what raton shall apply where contents or the ear are 01 different elasalf icatlons. Presumably, however, the traffic requirement that It should take the rate of the highest class reurcBcnaaM In the carload woulu HDJllV The Idea will suggest Itself at once to shippers that this decision gives -t decided advantage to trade originating at manufacturing ana jobbing centers. An Isolated shipper baa hitherto been on a substantial equality with those In the city, but now he will frequently have to compete on less than carload rates with the city Jobbers who, by rea son of their number, can combine nnd secure the carload rate to consuming points on what are in fact less than car loads. The forwarding business also Is like ly to be bum up ny mis new memi as it la very likely thnt the avera shipper will be more satisfied to trust the handling of his small lot of freight to an Independent concern than to Join hands with his competitors In the same line of business to secure the sauio saving. Tax the Speculator From the Pendleton East Oregonian. The attention of Assessor C. P. Strain of Umatilla county, and of the nssessors of other eastern counties. Is called to the fact that timber land which cost the entrymen but $2.50 per acre Is being sold at from $1,500 to $3,ou0 per quarter section, or from four to eight times its original cost. IT this land Is worth from $1,500 to $3,000 for purposes of speculation. It Is also worth this much for pur poses of taxation. As several townships of this timber land have just been entered In Uma tilla and adjoining counties, the In creased taxes from this source should have a perceptible effect on the taxes pf these counties. 11 "Ok " ,!.,. ,n .,.. "flilo lon.l It, Idle and there Is no market for tho timber. The real value of the land is the government price, or $2.50 per acre." The value and earning capacity of property Is determined by the income it yields the owner and an income is not necessarily estimated by the number of dollars In ooln Jt returns. If this land has Jumped up in value fromv $400 per quarter section to $3,000 per ounrter In two years, It had uetuallv added that much wealth to the holdings of the owner, whether sold or held for creator ndvance in value. Everv foot of this kind or land neia for tmrelv speculative purposes should be taxed on its boasted market value and not on what It cost the entryman This method of tAxing speculative property will bring new Industries to the county quicKer man anyming eise The owners will make the property productive rather than pay the tax on high values and get nothing in return from the Idle and. City lots held for speculation, timber land, irrigated land or any other prop erty held purely for advancing values, should be made to pay an equal stlare of the public expense, with the same kind or property in use.

F.very excuse advanced for them to do otherwise is puerile and contemptible. On April 24, 1906, the Oregonian snid: "We shall not say that the people in ail eases have gotten bet ter candidates through the new pri maries; but it is enough to say that the bosses have been squelched." Hut now it wants the bosses back and the people 6quelched. for the "traitors" is to be pros.-cnt-. ed. why not look first ofll in the I editorial sanctum of the Oregonian? Is there any greater "traitor" to the party than Mr. Scott himself? A BACK-AtTIXO IXJIWCTIOX.

Nothing else was to be expecteu trom tne president. He knows as well as anyone that there Is no doubt of the guilt of the big cor poration, and from his point of view- there would be no other course pursued by the administration. Mr. Roosevelt, better perhaps than any other man in his administration, understands the power and purpose ol the Standard Oil group. He has taken their measure in a variety of ways. and with him it has become a patriotic necessity that this organization be taught beyond question that it is not greater than the government of the United States. With this purpose in mind the president cannot hesitate now. Believing as he does that the Stand ard Oil crowd offers the most seriouB menace endangering popular government In this couritry he holds It as much his duty to prosecute this case as it would be for him to call out the troops were a foreign enemy to invade our soil. It Is not a matter of prejudice, ajid surely after his declination of an other term In the White House no one can say It Is a case of playing politics, when the president urges his attorney general to puslj the suit with all his energy. The president believes it is his nlaln duty, and that he would deserve impeachment were he to fail to go ahead with this proaecutlon with all the force at nls command. The Right Sort of Talk From the Eugene Guard. There has been for years, talk of a railroad from Eugene to the mouth of the Sluslaw river, and nothing tangible has resulted from the discussion. Ev ery resident of Lane county knows that the building of such a road would be worth millions to the county in the de velopment of timber and agricultural resources, and the improvement of transportation facilities for products of all kinds. To Eugene It would un doubtedly mean more than any other enterprise that could be launched for years to come. The route Is feasible, the distance short and the road com pleted should cost probably not more than $1,500,000. Why then have all our talk and ef fort of years come to naught? Prob ably becuuse moat of the energy put forth has not been well directed, and partly for the reason that until late years the time was not ripe for the carrying out of such a project. Now, however, there seems to be no good reason why the road should not bo built and It can be. If the movement In started right and vigorously and per Revwtngly pushed along In a business like way" The Guard believes that if 10 men of Kugene and Florence were to put up $1,000 each for the expense of run ning a preliminary survey, securing data concerning the country's resources and for sending a representative east to the big financiers' with this Informa tion, and a tangible proposition, ihey could secure the necessary money In six months. In the organization of the company and construction of the road they should receive their $10,000 back many fold, and the city and county will be vastly benefited as a resultr Another plan would be for the enter prising citizens of the lower Htuslaw to Incorporate a company to build the road and secure subscriptions of stock there to as large nn amount as would be possible, then come to Eugene and open the subscription lists here. If $100,000 of stock were taken In the county there would be no trouble what ever to float a bond Issue large enough to construct and equip the road. There is no question but the peoble of Lane county can get a railroad to tidewater if they Want it badly enough to make the proper effort and go about It In a business-like way. A single conference of business men, called bv some representative citizen or citizens or tne hiusiaw or Kugene, should be sufficient to Inaugurate a movement along the lines suggested that would result before the end of two years In the running of steam or electric cars between Eugene and Florence. Who is ready to step forward and initiate the movement? A railroad to the mouth of the river would obviate the necessity for issuing bonds to improve the Sluslaw bar. It would force the government officials to sit up and take notice, and long before it was completed there would be sub stantial appropriations ror Jetty work. Increasing commerce would demand it and our citizens would not have to bear burden that rightfully belongs to the national government.

From the Dallas Itemlzer. If the Republicans cannot play the game without quarreling over the di vision of the kitty, they will have to abide by the consequences when elec tion time comes on. The great major ity of Oregon voters are tired of the continual squabbling of the party In power and are taking no part In It and keeping their mouths shut. Many of them believe that the time has arrived for a change, and will vote accordingly, fully realizing that the continued hold ing of the reins of government by one particular party Is not In the Interests of good government, but directly the opposite. Voters have also begun to find out that the pledges and platform promises maife each presidential year nre not even worth the publishing that there Is never any Intention of keeping them. That Oregon will go for Bryan Is too much to assert at this time, but we think we can truthfully say that there will be no walkover for Taft, at least under anything like pres ent conditions. The time for voting people like sheep Is now past. Every election sees a greater breakl away from the old style of so doing, a grent er and manifest desire nn tbe part of voters to select and vote for men who they think will best subserve their needs, end a tendency toward the level ing of party relationship.

While the political situation In Ore gon resembles that wni'n eonrrnntet an old squaw who had spilled her huckle berries in the sand File said It was "a d d pack of mess" The Tribune questions the wisdom of attempting to displace Mr. Cake from the chairman ship of the Republican state central committee, either through persuasion or otherwise The Republicans have accept ed so manv freak '-evices for placing the re sponsibility of government upon the people personally as distinguished from tbe basic Ide-. of a representative form that the average Republican hardly know which mar to loos or go to get his bearings If be has any But Mr. Cake was regularly chosen , as rhsirman ol the Republican state committee at a time when It was known i that be was in favor of. Statement No 1. and ths fact that be slays by his convictions snd promises Is hardly a sufficient one to warrant bla displace ment from thst position. The Reruhllcns are sufficiently well Mgh knnrke) out In Oregon without still f'trther attempting to widen tbe breach. There I no ground for doubting Mr. Cakes loyalty M Tsft. Better let him alone.

One pint sugar and 1 M. pints water gives sirup 17 degrees density. One pint sugar and 2 pints water gives sirup 14 degrees density. Use either of these two light sirups for anned pears, peaches, sweet plums and herries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. The lightest sirups mav be used for filling up the Jars after they are taken from the oven or boiler.

All sirups are better for boiling from 10 to 30 minutes. If rich sirups are boiled hard, stirred or Jarred thev are apt to erystallze. The sirup may be made a day or two In ad vance of canning time. The light sirups will not keep long unless sealed, but tne heavy sirups will keep well If covered. w. a. a i Our Sidewalk Manners. j OMEN are lacking, says a recent critic In sidewalk manners. Tho fact that men are lacking slml- ) larly, even If in a less degree, Is no ex cuse. Tbe simple rule of turning to the right is with the most annoying serenity ignored when women want to gaze Into a shop window. Often they do not take tho trouble to get close to the window, but plant them selves In the middle of the walk, frown ing In superior disdain at those who are forced by circumstances to Jostle them. J ney rorm coteries on the thorough fare for tho promulgation of gossip. Eome times they have the children filonc. and i-iprrnlt these, to ntrlno. airrvn from wall to curb. The lone female may be seen cleaving the throng with all the abandon of a j rotary plow attacking tho winter snow. ! Some or thorn pay not the slightest at- I tentlon to where they are going, but j they go. j They look in one direction and pro- 1 gress In another. They zigzag, amble, loll. They get In the way and don't care until bumped, and even then thev neither reform nor accept any part of the blame. A woman with an umbrella Is a thing to fear. From one with the serrate and monstrous hat wise men flea? knowing that she Is too busy thinking of the spectacular effect to consider possible catastrophe. A little regard for public rights is needed. There are traffic rules easy of comprehension, and tho observance , of them would make life more tolerable I and render easier the masculine nt- of being polite.
