EEGON was admitted to the union as a state on February 14, 1869. Hence on that day next year, 19 09, -will occur the p!ftlethatiiiiTersary-or seml-centen- tfual of the birth of Oregon as one of (the states of the great American pinion. The population of Oregon jthe next . year, I860, , was 52,465, ibaving 'increased from 13,294 in 8850, -.These numbers include only white population. When admitted, therefore, Oregon had about 60,000 rwhite people. It's growth has been elow, but It .has grown some, enough to celebrate. j Most Jf not - all states that have passed the'; semi-centennial mark rbave celebrated the event, studied , land recounted their development, re joiced In their progress and por trayed the victories of the future. Why should not Oregon follow this example The time is short, only five months, but it is sufficient to prepare some sort of a celebration lor the fiftieth anniversary of this splendid state. The Journal has seen no mention made ? of this matter yet, and so brings forward the suggestion The anniversary will come at a time of year when nothing else in particular Is doing, and when people of all sorts can take a little time for this, affair. Would ft not be well for the : commercial organizations and de velopment leagues to take this lpat- ter up and make the necessary in ltial movements? HE PRINCIPAL difference be tween Democracy and Repub llcanism, speaking of them in a party sense and with refer ence to their practical operation present and proposed, seems , to be about this: Democracy, as led by Bryan, strives always and along all lines, for "the greatest good to the greatest number" and the greatest number is poor people or those of moderate means; while Republican ism stands for the greatest good to tho greatest number of combined dollars, and to a few people. This Is really the essential Issue of this campaign. Whatever subsidiary sub- I x A 1 . - I 1 jeci une lanes up, lie 1a leu 1 igiu up to the broad ground of this para mount Issue. The Republican spokesmen defend their policy of running the govern ment for the benefit of the few rath er than for the many on the ground that somehow the benefits filter down through to and are somehow spread abroad among the many, but examination always discloses their facts to be mere assumptions, and their reasoning mere sophistries. The few who get the benefits bold onto just as much and many of them as they possibly can. The Republican spokesmen would not directly, admit that this state ment of the case Is correct, but the record, and even their own argu ments when thoroughly analyzed prove it to be so. For example, they argue in favor of a protective tariff. This in fact is their one distinct and visible "principle." They may crit lcise monopolies, but are careful never to do anything inimical them. Some of .the Roosevelt pol icies were for "the greatest good to the greatest number." The Republl can party contemptuously brushed them aside. What the people need to do Is to bring the government back to thai old Idea and policy "the greatest good to the greatest number." Ev idently this cannot be done by con tinning the party in power that has persistently and systematically car ried the government away from that policy. At least It would be well to teach it a lesson by one defeat to let it know that the people were onto the game. brough, Kittredge,-Lacy, McCleary and Jenkins, and In time will push out such men throughout most tot the country. It is immaterial whether their places are filled with Republicans or Democrats, so long as they are men who will surely serve the people faithfully. Of course this change cannot be brought about, even gradually, with out dissension In the party that has latterly become almost wholly an In strument in the bands of the trusts and predatory corporations. The politicians who bave been the lead crs in putting and keeping the party in that position will resist ellmlna tion with all their might, and will have many followers, for party's sake; but on the other hand multi tudes of the rank and file will grad ually fall away from such leader ship and seek the country's good by trying to effect a change.

ThiB is "legitimate," but Is certainly subject to criticism Most men suitable to go campaign ing are public men, or euch as are iunbltlous of public- bonors. This llnd of workrrif theyir sincere in jt, and can make ' good Impressions - and win votes. Is pay In itself. An eloquent, persuaslvp. public speaker wins admiration, appiause, me peo rple's good will and If he has or wants an office, support. Isn't this pay enough? But there is a higher consldera . lion. If be is earnest, sincere, hon- est with, himself and the people; if ibe truly believes what be says and ,that he is counselling the people for their good, isn't it pay beyond ny amount of dollars to know that ibe la doing a patriotic duty, is in fluencing voters to act right, is ben efitting the people and doing his country a service? What more pay than this does a really patriotic man want? And when be wants and takes money for expressing his pol itical opinion, money in many cases contributed by trusts, monopolies, " Inter est, rltfis people's enemies, who can believe in bis sincerity, his hon esty, hts patriotism.? So the , oqnntry is to be cam paigned by a great number of paid patriots, of Bordid fellows who will .help save the country by talk at. bo much per speech. Bejng paid, they will speak as dictated by the man agers, la consultation with the con tributor te the campaign fund and It Is to be observed ' that about the same time that this announcement of paid speakers was made It was discovered that the trusts and Inter ests were managing evasively to contribute an enormous campaign land. - A man who goes oat to speak for ray, and pay coming from such a source. Is not worthy qf credence, scarcely f rwpect.

And wfcn a party has te pay V.m r'.iVers, it lodicstes that It Din EADERS OF the morning paper are told that "the chance for Bryan's election lies in Repub lican dissension," and, further: "In other states, as in Oregon, the dissension arises from a greedy am bition, in little men, for the honors of the party and the emoluments of office. This is strongly promoted by the primary law; and the scramble it produces for nominations and the enmities it engenders among men hitherto political friends, cut off, all possibility of accommodation and uniofi for the ensuing elections." This is less than half truth. The dissension arises because the, Repub lican party Is divided against itself on the policies and issues in which the people are most interested. Roosevelt stands, at least In pop ular estimation, for certain policies. Jn which he is supported by but a very few Republican leaders or men of national prominence, while near ly all of them, as proved by the rec ord of the last congress and the Chi cago convention, are bitterly hostile to those policies. The rank and file of Republican voters favor the Roosevelt policies, but except as the primary law gives them a partial op portunity they are unable to sup port those policies within their par ty, because the leaders and men put up for their support are mostly, en emies of those policies. Under such circumstances dissension is inevit able. The voters can't follow both RooseVelt and the other leaders, for he and they are faced in Opposite directions. To follow the party lead ers is to desert Roosevelt ana nls policies; to give these support in volves a condemnation of the party. But, it may be said, Taft is Roose velt's choice, and is supported by the anti-Roosevelt leaders. Yes, and that Is what Is puzzling many vot ers. Taft is for the Roosevelt pol icies and also for his enemies' pol icies. He is going to please the Roosevelt adherents and also the standpatters and reactionaries. He is Roosevelt's candidate, and yet he Is perfectly satisfactory to Wall street and the trusts. He hasn't said and won't say a word to dis please either, especially the latter, j A good many voters do not like such a candidate, one who apparently tries to favor opposing policies at the same time. Mr. Taft Is a very fine mann many ways, bat the times demand a man who will face one way at a time. Tint two win. A La Follette. voters can understand; a Foraker they can understand; bat Mr. Taft la a doubtful quantity. Then the trouble with the party, ws are yid, Is the primary law.

A statement and resolutions were adopted, for con sideration by the people of the coun try and worklngmen In particular The statement criticises "theipul tlplled frequency" with which in junctions are Issued against labor, as well as certain decisions of the courts, quotes Articles VI and VII and Section 2 of Article III of the constitution in Justification of such criticism, and says that "we are con vinced that unless labor protests and then acts by exercising Its political heritage, the evils against which we so Justly complain will not only in crease, but finally all political and clvllright8 will be abridged or so curtailed by 'Judge-made laws' that practical and useful trades unions will become outlawed and rendered well-nigh useless." The statement proceeds to warn worklngmen of "impending danger," and them to "consider carefully the tion, saying it was not created by unloa labor but "by the selfishness of unscrupulous manufacturers and the avarciousness of grasping cor porations and high financiers." The editors say they do not speak as partisans, nor as strictly trades unionists, but as wage-earners. ' with no thought but the best in terests of the toiling masses of,the country." The injunction planks of the Republican and Democratic par ties are then compared, and it is asked: "Under these circumstances, can we tamely and supinely submit? Or shall we as men worthy of our cauBe exercise the inherent right of fran chise and show by our vote that we are capable of self-government? We call upon the workers to rise to the occasion, to cast aside party feelings and to vote for that which, in your opinion, guarantees simple justice and equality before the law. The labor movement, despite all that may be said to the contrary, is face to face with a serious crisis." The preamble and resolutions are substantially as follows: Whereas, the American labor movement, as expressed by the American Federa tion of Labor, In an effort to arouse wage earners to the necessity of pro tecting labor by their votes; and whereas, the opposition to labor is trying in every possible way to cast odium upon President Samuel Gom Eeps: Resolved, that confidence be affirmed in him and in the executive council of the Federation and that they are "carrying out the instruc- lons arid mandates of American Federation of Labor conventions 8fl d protest meetings held to register the desire of the rank and file of wage-earners against the legislative and Judicial discrimination of our government and courts." Other resolutions were not politic ally significant, except that one for the formation of a labor party was overwhelmingly defeated. These were only 40 men but it won't do to sneer at them by com paring them with "the three .tailors of Tooley street" They are not partisans, but spokesmen for and advisers of labor. Their words are read by hundreds of thousands of American worklngmen.

It will devolve upon the moth er to buy standard brands and make the candy or the food drink (which good chocolate is) for the little ones at home, that she may know what the youngsters are getting.
