OREGON'S Sron-CENTEXXIA L.
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.

But there is a higher consldera

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

N SEPTEMBER 1, 4 0 editors of
labor papers, or "International
craft Journals," assembled in
Chicago, and discussed various
phases of the present industrial and
political situation. 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 looks as
if the workingman was more than
ever before going to be his own
man in thq voting booth this year.

It Is apparent, then, that when our
children are putting these various com
pounds into their little sfomachs, they
are not eating chocolate at all, but on
tho contrary are feeding upon a combi
nation of stuffs that would appall an
ostrich.
Many mothers must have wondered at
the amount of chocolate candy their
children were able to procure from un
known sources with 2 or 3 cents. The
secret is out at last.
It is evident that since children crave
chocolate. 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.
