NE SWALLOW, nor two swal
lows, do not make n summer,
but they Indicate summer's
approach, and when Judge
Parker and De Laneey Nlcoll cheer
fully accept InvltatlonR to make
speeches in behalf of Bryan, during
their vacation, It is soma Indication
that a Rood many New York and
other eastern men who have been
against Bryan heretofore because
they thought him too radical and
. tiiftafe will he for him this fall.
Nlcoll Is a type of many eastern
Democrats who went to the extreme
of voting against Bryan In 1 R 9 0!
and 1900, but who will vote for him
next November. Enough such men,
added to a good many Republican
malcontents, may give New York
and New Jersey to Bryan. It is too
early to make prediction of this re
sult, but quite as strange things
have happened.
Curiously, or at least interesting
ly, Mr. Nlcoll and many others will
support Mr. Bryan for reasons op
posite to or very different from
those that will prompt most, others
who vote for him to do so. The ma
jority of Democrats, as well as of
the rank and file of Republicans,
: approve as a wuuie itooseven pol
icies and administration; but these
pastern Democrats are onposed to
Roosevelt and his policies, and his

enrs old, and with whom ho had
been acquainted for lit years. It
seems that this Is the first that has
been heard of Mr. Meyers belli In
sane, that he is so regarded by hU
sons solely because he decided to
marry. Assuming this to be true,
that he is really as sane as the aver
age business man of that age, this
treatment was clearly n most un filial
and unwarranted proceeding, not to
say an outrage. A man of 70 has
as good a right to gain what happi

and he also has a right to spend or

hence It In quite natural that this
system should weaken the dominant
party.
But If thin happens. It Is because
the people are getting more political
power anil learning better how to use
It. and the result will be that the I
party In power will take greater heed
to please and nerve the people. For
some years past It was Mifflclont for
success to please and Herve the or

a very good thing Indeed If a party
learns, even through chastisement,
that It is necessary to Its continued
success to please and serve the com

T IS to be hoped that the develop
ment league meetings to be held
In the Willamette valley, prelim
inary to the "congress" at Coos
bay, will bo well attended, and that
more interest than ever before in de
velopment work will be manifested.
This ought to be assured, for cer
tainly several If not most Willamette
valley and southern Oregon towns
are alrendy feeling the beneficial re
sults of concerted efforts for devel
opment, and all Indications point to
signs are ' increasing development and still
greater results therefrom lis I lie fu
ture. People are discovering as they
never had done before bow much
they can ilp of and among them
selves, and that liberal expenditure
of efforts and money will pay. All
western Oregon needs electric rail
ways and Is beginning to get them.
It needs good roads, and the people
are going after them. It needs more
intensive farming, and irrigation,
and these will come. By concerted,
harmonious efforts In ihese direc
tions, the people will be astonished
to discover what they can accom
plish In a few years.
Hut Interest must be kept up, and
the way to do this is to attend and
take a lively Interest in these league
meetings. The president of the
Willamette valley leagues, Mr. E.
Holer, is diligent and enthusiastic,
checked flight. Some way, it was mid overflowing; with knowledge of
methods, and are especially opposed Inherent impulse of the human mind
to Taft because he Is regarded as
, Roosevelt's inheritor and imitator.
Out here this rather makes in Taft's
favor, or- would if It were I bought
that Taft could effect anything' by
attempting to work with the Roose
velt policies; but It is not believed
that he could do so if he would, as
long as the Republicans control both
houses of congress. He would prob
ably attempt little and accomplish
nothing. Out west Roosevelt sup
porters don't rely much on Taft; in
New York voters are against him be
cause they fear he might he like
Roosevelt. So Democrats get to
gether through the process of ex
tremes meeting.
Aside- from these Democrats who i
differ so widely that they agree, are
in indefinite number of hitherto
Republican voters who have become
practically independent, who don't
like the record of their party, Mho
feel that it is a time for a change,

How enlightening It might be to this
