AN ABSURD THEORY

bers of the legislature because Tatt
received a majrjrity In this state, or
, becansalhe Republican registration
greatly exceeded the Democratic, Is
foneVput forward; by desperate and
unscrupulous political" gamblers, and
has no solid and meritorius founda
tion.; y' ;:a ,
- , The. latter argument assumes that
'every voter must vote the straight
ticket and for every candidate 6n It,
as he registers. If one registers as
a Republican, he must rote not, only
- lor TattV but for a. Republican sena
tor, representative: and ' Republican
state and county officers. He has
no right to exercise any Independ
ence or discrimination anywhere. It
la assumed that every man who vot
ed for Taft must or should of neces-
lty have voted not only, for Cake,
hut for the Republican nominees for
the J legislature, ' for sheriff, for as
sessor, for mayor, for every state,
county and city office. It is to this
reductlo ad absurdam that this as
sumption Inevitably leads.
' If this Idea be correct then there
Is no need of "balloting at all;' the
nominees of the party that has the
highest registration might as well be
. declared electedThe eleeiiaa is a
mere useless form. Not a minority
candidate anywhere along the line is
entitled to any chance of election
whatever, for the registration shows
that his party Is not strong enough
to elect a single man. The registra
tion alone would determine the elec-
. tion. What an absurdity such a plea
ie! I ' . . -
But. s Taft carried ' Oregon by a
, large ' majority, ' therefore, . It is
urged,11 the same voters must have
pecessarlly changed their mind as to
senator,, and must now desire a Re
publican, senator. This again as
sumes that the voters must not and
cannot discriminate between men at
all; i must elect every one of the
same party with the head of the
ticket. But Innumerable instances
show that tbls is not and under a
free ballot cannot be the case. In
the , late election, Ohio, Indiana and
Minnesota gave Taft majorities, and
at the same time elected Democratic
governors. Shall the people of those
states be incited to repudiate their
own act, and try to deprive these
governors-elect of their offices. This
is Just as reasonable as to say that
because the people of Oregon pre
ferred Taft for president they do not
wish Chamberlain for senator, after
they have declared tbat they do want
him In that office,
j, . This thing happens In every elec
tion as ' to all .sorts of offices, - in
many states. Multnomah county, of
which Portland Is the greater part in
point of population, is Republican
on national politics by some 8,000
or perhaps 10,000 plurality. Yet
within the past few years it has
elected a Democrat for sheriff and
a Democrat for district attorney, and
Portland has twice elected a Demo
crat for mayor.rTWhy then, were the
people not Incited to overturn their
own work and keep these Democrat
oat of office?. It might as well have
been said In these cases 1 that thej
people had made a mistake, did not
know what they,, were about, were
the victims of , a "Juggle" and ; a
"bunko game," as to say so " now
ith respecj. to Chamberlain. r ' j
But In Chamberlain's cane there
U ample and pepullar evidence to
iiow that th -people knew very well
fcat they were about.' They had
twice ew-ted ; him governor after
ha had held various other office
Ms .first' oppn.pnt bHnp nominated
( a convention, tfcft second by the
clmt irhunry. Tfcey hud known
him for. 30 years, and had watched
nis official career. They had his
record v before them. Five , or six
times he has been elected to office,
and always when there was
Republican , majority to contend
against, therefore he was elected in
part by Republican votes. Yet no
body, ever heard . before? of a con
spiracy to keep him out of office on
this account Why Invent this ridic
ulous, ; false pretense that voters
must vote the same way always and
on everybody at this late , day T
in iisoz ; Chamberlain was elected
governor, and In .1904 Roosevelt
carried the sUte by almost 43,000
plurality. 20,000 more than Taft
carried It , by; why then was not a
movement inaugurated to oust the
governor from office? Or. if that
was Impossible,, why, O why, only a
year and seven months after Roose
velt had been given this overwhelm
Ing majority, did the people of Ore
gon reelect Chamberlain by a much
largertnajorlty than before? - Didn't
they know- what they were about
then? And if so, didn't they equal
ly know what they were about last
June?',- . V ;':'
In 1902 ' they wanted : Chamber
Iain.' "1904 they wanted Roose
velt. In '1906 -they wanted Cham
berlain. In 1908 they' wanted
Chamberlain and Taft. They had a
right thus to i discriminate. And
they have a right to have their will
carried into effect. Juat as the
four successful? presidential electors
will surely carry , out the people's
will and Tote for Taft, just so sure
ly ought the legislature to tarry out
the people's will and elect Chamber
lain. - t
HYPOCRITICAL CRITICISM
H'
AVING supported the high pro
tective tariff party and its
candidates.' making- during
the campaign no objection to
this principal policy and main prin
ciple I of that party,, but . on the
contrary approving and indorsing all
ft has done during "these 50 years,"
the Oregonlan no criticises the
manifest intent of the party leaders
to raise Jrather than reduce duties,
and to fix the schedules throughout.
just as the" .allied , interests want
them,, without any reference to the
interest of ' consumers." - 'The .Inter
ested beneficiaries, that paper says,
can be made satisfied, It not so al
ready "by the. addition of 10 or 15
per cent to their present pickings out
ot the consumers pocket. Complete
satisfaction, such as reigns among
these worthies Is to be found else
where on earth only among a flock
of vultures after they have finished
picking the bones of a band of
sheep." But It Is to be remembered
that the vultures could not pick the
bones of the sheep unless authorized
to do so by the leaders of the party
and the men, who the Oregonlan in
variably supports. And whenever a
test cornea, whenever a vote Is to be
taken, that paper Is always for the
vultures and against the sheep. 1 Kb
mouth should be closed to complaint
now; there Ii"no sincerity In Its ob
jurgations, for it has never failed to
help uphold and maintain this very
policy of robbery of the people that
when its voice is Impotent it pretends
to resent. I '
v What hypocrisy is displayed in
ibis further statement:
"For many , years the consumer
has sat like a patient ass under, the
burden of the Dingley tariff, sooth
ing his misery by the fantastic con
solation that the more taxes he paid
the richer he would grow. It passes
belief tbat an entire nation could be
fooled by such a patent piece of Im
posture for more than a generation,
and yet the fact Is indisputable."
But "for many years" the same
paper baa done all It could, when
ever there was opportunity to do or
say anything effectively, to keep he
burden on the people's back, and to
fool them on this subject,' by support
ing every candidate, high and low,
who stood for this monstrous In
iquity.
These leaders in congress cannot
be blamed now, either. The people
approved the Dingley tariff, and even
a higher tariff, for Mr. Taft never
promised any specific or even any
general reduction, ind did say, sig
nificantly and evidently with definite
purpose, that some duties should be
raised. . Neither is there anything In
the Republican platform to "repu
diate." It promised nothing In par-!
ticular, and if it had, few people
were silly enough to suppose the
promise would, be kept. The people
Indorsed the Dingley tariff, or any
other and higher tariff that the lead
ers might impose when they elected
Mr. Taft, Mr. Cannon, and a Repub
lican house. And every paper that
supported them indorsed this policy.
and is only making a false and futile
pretense in opposing It now.
COPYTXG THE SMART SET
P
ORTLAND 18 discussing a play
that was this week the bill it
a local theatre. The lesson of
the plot is the theme of very
wide comment. A married conple.
aa 'thousands of married couples do,
loved dress and other luxuries that
the husband's slender $18 -per week
could not afford. He came home
one day1 ; with a reported increase ln
salary; ; more and i richer-: clothes,
smarter apartments and' other lux
uries were Indulged in. . News of
other increases in the husband's sal
ary : were brought home, and more
theatres, more dinners- and more of
the ways of the smart set were pao
tlced. ; '
It is the story as old as man and
as true as the grave. It began In
Eden and will continue to the crack
of doom. Spurred on by love of dls
play that he could not afford the
husband was an embezzler, and the
increases of salary were a myth
This play told it In a new way and
with an Intensely human side, wit
mirrored in some of lti phases the
every day lives of thousands of peo
ple. Family after family seek, to
live in the illusion that they are ot
the smart set and fashion attire and
appearances after the models of the
millionaires. The designers of fash
ion create foolish models In dress
particularly for women, that are be
yond the reach of slender means, in
the effort, to keep up with the gilded
procession Incomes are strained, as
sets dissipated and strong men
tempted. The appeal of a wife, or
the common desire of husband and
wife to keep up with the fashionable
procession has ruined many a career
It la a foible of the race and one of
the perils of the social whirl. It is
pathetic because the man who steals
that his wife., may keep step with
her neighbor or her social set Is not
all bad. It is pathetic, too, because
every city in every state is studded
with Instances.
It cost $120, dear," said a Port
land wife to her husband, describing
her new. gown in a popular tailor
ing establishment the other, day."
'My God, was the serious reply.
HOW THE TARIFF WILL BE
REVISED
M
R. PAYNE'S committee has
been hearing suggestions
from those Interested on
Schedule A of the tariff,
comprising chemicals, oils and
paints, Most of these Interested
persona are satisfied with the pres
ent schedule of duties, though in
some cases they want a higher duty,
so as to make it absolutely prohibi
tive of Importations. These opin
ions and suggestions will be the basis
of the ' committee's report. Only
those who will be benefited by high
er taxes,, by monopolization as near
ly as possible, will be Invited to the
hearing,, or given any attention, The
55,000,000 consumers of the country
are utterly disregarded, So it will
he with all the schedules, from "A to
or however far they run. Those
interested in shutting out all foreign
competition and in being enabled to
make the prices very. high to con
sumers, will frame the new tariff
bill, just as they framed the Ding
ley bill, and the McKlnley bill.
There is talk of a iff ax) mum 'and
minimum tariff,, authorizing the
president to reduce the rate to the
v"a" "v . "'
ing a similar law and that do the
same as to American imports; but
If this plan should be adopted, prob
ably the present schedules, an aver
age of over 62 per cent duty, will
as a rule be fixed as the minimum
rates, so that, as usual, the "friends
of the tariff" will revise it upward
Instead of downward
But as this was what, ln part, the
people voted for lately, the major
ity will have no right bq complain.
Not having supported the winning
side, The Journal is at liberty to
continue to assail the tariff as the
greatest system of robbery of the
people ever Invented
EUROPEAN WATERWAYS
G"
OVERN'MENTS of the countries
through whlcfi the great river
Danube flows are evidently
not in control of Joe Cannons.
The Danube river system has been
transformed Into a system of navi
gable Inland waterways by' an ex
penditure of over $190,000,000, con
tributed largely by Austria, Hungary
and Roumania. In consequence, Its
traffic Is increasing very rapidly.
and will soon exceed that of the Suez
canal. One Austrian company alone
employs 141 steamboats and 940
Iron barges. On a single stretch of
180 miles between Vienna and Pas-
sau the Austrian government alone
is spending $40,000,000.
In a series of articles ln the Bos
ton Transcript, Mr. John L; Matthews
is showing Iiow European govern
ments are spending many hundreds
of millions of dollars In Improving
or creating inland waterways. Wher
ever possible tney are canalizing
their rivers, at whatever cost, and
results attained : are already bo eat
iefactory ..that the Work 18 going
ahead on ' greater scale than ever.
This country Is greater , and richer
and Incomparably more resourceful
In every way than those countries,
and yet, because a few railroad mag
nates object,, for 'selfish and short
sighted reasons, it seems impossi
ble to get such a movement i started
In this country. Cannon will appar
ently be stronger ln the next con-'
gres8 than ever, and he Is scornfully
and sardonically opposed to any such
expenditure of money. He wants to
give It to the trusts.
Yet perhaps the pressure for In
land waterways . cannot be resisted
very much longer by the corporation
standpatters. Illinois has appropriat
ed $211,000,000, and will ask the gov
ernment and other states to join in
canalizing the Mississippi river. East
ern states are likely to follow suit
with demands for a series of canals
along various lines between Boston
and Florida. On this coast we will
Insistently urge the opening of our
rivers as speedily as possible. This
country can afford to spend hun
dreds of millions In this way. The
people : will get the benefit ?
"The pledge doesn't amount to a
pinch of snuff,"- says the Seattle
Times, .Then' it Is all j'ght, In pol-
Itics, for a man asking an office, to
lie, to deceive the people whose suf -
- Tfragea he seeks, to gala their votes
by solemnly and positively pledging
himself to do a certain specific thing
and then doing when elected exact

The red roae dreams of April,
The white rose dreama of May,
But in the golden autumn
The Bride rose' holds its Sway;
The Junetlme, unreturning,
The runetlme comes reborn.
And love leads down the ladies
Through lanes of "bridal morn.
Ah, brides of springtimes vanished, .
Take sweetheart hands again.
Here comes the gold October
With all her bridal, train;
Tha red leaf and the holly.
The harvest and the vine,
Above love'a veil or orange,
With dreams of Jlune entwine.
Here come the autumn couples,
Love lights the bridal day
The red rose dreams of April,
The white rose dreams Of May, '
The Bride rose has all seasons.
And this hew dream behold
Love leads the laughing ladles,
And all the world Is gold.

May Keep Millions Here.
From the Washington D. C.) Herald.
It would seem that there has been
hardly any stronger argument adduced
in favor of postal savings banks than
these figures, showing how much money
is sent aoroaa ty alien laborers on this
continent - Last year over 117,000.000
went to Austria-Hungary, - and nearly
110,000,000 to Russia, ln postal orders.
Tbat money was all earned here, and.
of course, the men who earned it had a
right to do, what they chose with - its
but it does seem a shame that .the
American people, who paid this money
in wages, should - be deprived . of the
benefit that would accrue from its be
ing deposited in American banks. Un
doubtedly the question will come up be
fore : the - approaching session -' of - con
gress, and such -has .been popular edu
cation and argument on the subject
tfiic H seems more than' likely that the
n0?essary legislation will be enaeted. .
