ANOTHER SENATOR REJECTED,
CENATOR ANKENY of the state
of Washington will also go into
vl retirement next March, along
. with Long, Hansbrough, Klt
tredge, Piatt and some others who
are considered as to a greater or Jobs
extent ' ."undesirables' Senator
Ankeny is In many wij-s a likable
man, and he was friendly to Oregon
as well as ifi his own state. His
votes and euch influence as he had
were always In favor of the opening
of the Columbia river and other Ore
gon as well as Washington improve
ments Besides, he was "raised" in
Oregon, and has done business for
many years w ith a great many Ore
gon people, hence he was regarded
in this tate with a kindly personal
feeling.
But he is a type of senator that
had to go. i He was elected solely be
cause he had And used a great deal
ofmoney. He has always been in
the standpat class,' never caring for
or "admitting the need of any reform
tn anything in particular. He nat-
N ANOTHER column will be
found an article reprinted from
Collier's WecXIy on Speaker Can
non. It la In the main a correct
portrayal of the man who holds the
greatest, or next to the groatest, po
litical power In the country. In mat
ters of legislation bis power la al
most supreme, and he uses It arbi
trarily, dogmatically, perversely, un
patriotically. He Is a narrow, non
progressive, unworthy man. He!
gained wealth largely through a law
or 'laws, passed for his benefit, an
enabling him to work a great gra
on the people. In congress he habit'
ually and characteristically stand
for the Interests and against the peo
ple, always. As a rule, and constltu
tlonally, he is for whatever, Is bad
and against everything that is good
In national legislation.
So Collier's urges his defeat. This
would be well, but cannot Collier'i
see, and if it does see why does it
not state that Cannon stands for the
Republican party, and it for him
That party, knowing him, has re
peatedly made him speaker, and if
It has a majority In the next house
and he ehoftld be reelected, would do
bo again. The party not the rank
and file, but the leaders, the repre
sentatives itr-congress, the ones in of-
flpe and in, power approves of Can
non and all he does; it honors him
fives him this great power, followB
his leadership, indorses his actions
and is before the people of the coun
Jry now asking them to do the same,
Mr. Tart indorses cannon com
pletely, for in his acceptance speech
Mr. Taft said that never In Its his
tory had the Republican party a bet
ter claim on public support than
now, and Cannon Is a large part, as
to legislation he and Aldrlch are the
principal part, of the Republican
party. A Republican victory this
fall will be an indorsement of Can
non and Cannonlsm. There is no evi
dence that Mr. Taft andvCannon will
not work in perfect accord, although
Taft in either position would act dlf
ferently from Cannon.' The way to
beat the Cannon policies is to beat
the Republican party in this election;
for otherwise, even If Cannon should
be defeated himself, the Republican
majority would put in his place a
man as near like him as possible.

urally leaned to the support of t
high protective tariff and of the in
terests generally, and was always
Btrictly regular as a party man.
Aside from this attitude, he was not
calculated to make any mark in such
a body. He desired the honor, but
he was not fitted for the post. He is
an excellent business man, but no
statesman or such statesmanship

of Washington have chosen wisely.
I A STRANGE OCCTJltRENCE.
. pMETHINQ strange happened in
Portland yesterday; all the
members of the council voted
together on an Important ques
tlon, and one on which people of the
southern part of the city were di
; vided. The council, unanimously,
without a row and without even an
argument, voted to issue bonds to
build a new bridge from Madison"
' street to Hawthorne ayenue. This
' eeems to be the best course to pur
sue. A higher bridge farther up
"would have advantages, especially In
. giving more harbor room where
, most needed, but to change the site
would require long delay, a new vote
of the people, and probably the ex
penditure, .of a good deal more
money. The present bridge connects
with the main avenue of traffic and
travel on the east side south of Mor
rison street, one easily reached from
all points south, so that this location
has Its peculiar advantage. If it were
to do over again the bridge might
be ' located farther np, or this end
might be moved up a block or two,
perhaps to advantage, bnt since the
seed of a bridge is nrgent and the
location cannot be legally changed
easily, let the work proceed as quick
ly as possible. The Journal hastens
to congratulate the councilmen, all
the way from Baker to Wills, on
agreeing for once, whether right or
wrong and as Intimated they are
probably more right than wrong.
HERE is no excuse for the so-
called . Independence party
There is no reason for its exist
ence. It presents in its plat
form and professions no basis for a
new party to be built up on. It
amounts to nothing. It advances
nothing new or different worth con
sidering. Everything good in it is
advocated by one of the other par
ties, Democratic or Socialist, long
in existence.
The Socialist party can Justify it
self; It presents something distinctly
different from the Republican or the
Democratic party. Jt has a more or
less well defined scheme of reform
and of government. It has a right
to a hearing, to consideration.
So the Prohibition party presents
an Issue that no other party does. It
alone advocates national prohibition
Right or wrong, this party can Just
ly claim audience and' is entitled to
respect. It stands for sometlng dif
ferent from the others.
But the party brought forth by
Mr. Hearst presents little for con
sideration and action that other parr
ties do not. It does declare for gov
ernment ownership and the initiative
and referendum; but everybody
knows that Mr. Bryan will favor
these movements whenever neces
sary and practicable; the one as a
dernier resort if regulation fails, the
other after it has been tried and suc
ceeded in the states, and there is a
popular demand for It. The Demo
cratic party will move in these direc
tions as fast as the people desire.
Then there is Tom Watson. He i
had a platform out long before I
Hearst did, and while he does not I
Dresent any reasonable excuse either
for asking for votes, he can do so
with a better excuse than Hlsgen
can. Watson can at least be credit
ed with Intellectual honesty and sincerity.
The Independence party was mani
festly manufactured (with a good
deal of money) out of a mixture of
egotism and spite, for the sole pur
pose of defeating Bryan and electing
Taft though with a vague hope,
perhaps, that it could get In a po
sition to cut a larger figure fonr
years hence. But a party evolved
by one man with such a motive can
never cut any appreciable figure ex
cept at birth, aid a sorry one then.

and the probability is that they will p

This wall that electing a man of

important office, Is something dread

' A Picnic and a Poem.
St. Johns, Sept. 9. To the Editor of
The Journal One of the Portland Sab
bath schools decided to have an outinjr
and chose September 3 as the day. Be
ing a member of the school, and as my
seventy-fourth birthday came on that
date, I was glad, and so at 11 o'clock
a, m.. a goodly number of us were
gathered among the swings and seats
near the -east entrance of the City park.
While the little ones were amusing
themselves swinging, the older ones
were vlsitlnu and preparing tables, etc.,
on which a ?ine lunch .was soon spread,
and In due time partaken of by the
party. Then after the things were
cleared .away, the school walked about
to, see the flowers, birds and animals.
The owls were sleeping, the guinea pigs
were eating, the birds were flying about,
and the lion made his displeasure known
by commendable roars. I could but pity
those animals, whose nature is to have
the freedom of the forest, but must now
be held in Iron-barred cages for the
Dleasure of man. We finally wended
our way back to the swings and seats,
and for the amusement ,of the children
said I would recite Some lines I

the company to recite me ionowing

New Town ln the Siletz.
Taft, Or., Sept. 8. -To the Editor of
The Journal Allow me a little space ln
which I wish to make a few comments
on this Dart of the country known as
the Siletz bay. It Is on the verge of
activity. H. Longcoy or MiiwauKie
Or., has laid off a townsite and part of
the lumber Is on the ground for a store
building. Plans aap being drawn for
more buildings. His lots will be on
the market next season. This town
will benefit this section of Oregon and
we hope will be the means of getting
a sawmill to locate here as we are very
much in need of one. The timber is
here, the best In Oregon, it Is claimed.
The name or tne town is ocean view.

that there is a possibility, not to
aay a probability, that Governor
Deneen may be defeated by
former Vice-President Stevenson' for
governor, and the blame for this, if
It happens, will be laid, is laid In
advance, on the primary- law, and
such a result is pre-lamented as
something greatly to be deplored
and exceedingly disastrous.
Bat why blame the primary law.
even If Stevenson Bhould beat De

opposed In the primaries by ex-Governor
Tate, and the fight between

mlttees turned down Representative
Lilley's accusations concerning the

The World and Roosevelt.
From the New TOrk World.
The World has no more personal
grievance against Mr. Roosevelt than
against the precession Of the equinoxes.
Neither has It denounced him. It Is
true that we .have sometimes criticised
"his demacoclsm. his agrarianism. his
extremism." and very emphatically too.
Everv man In- public life who Is open
to such criticism deserves criticism, but
most of all the pnesldent or me uni'

As for Mr. Rooseelt's "efforts to en

and Industrially, by reason of such ac

But If the World praised Mr. Roose

attacks upon Judges who failed to de
