CHAMBERLAIN AT WASHINGTON
T IS Quite essential that Oregon
J should be well represented in the
National Rivers and Harbors
., Convention -and in the Conven
tion for Conservation of National
Resources. It is quite important
tor Governor Chamberlain to go. He
lias been there before. He has wide
acquaintanceship and high standing
among the men who go there. He
scoundrels as Ruef. This is not
vague, prejudiced assertion; it is a
matter of record, of history and
it has been eo In St. Louis, ;New
York, and other cities, in many In
stances.
These San Francisco grafters are
in an almost Impregnable position
because they are sympathized with
and supported, and In every possible
way aided, by both Business and
Society. Many of the business and
society people of the city if not in
some measure tarred with the same
stick, are so corrupted that they are
In entire sympathy with Ruef and
hate Heney. Mr. Wheeler at this
meeting said that a sure passport
into society was to have .one's dress
coat plastered with Indictments;
and many fairly honest but coward
ly business men are not in sympathy
with the prosecutions because they
think they hurt business just as a
multitude of business Interests de
nounced Roosevelt and opposed
Bryan because of the prosecution or
threatened prosecution of big lawbreakers.
Whether the assault on Heney
was prompted by men being prose
cuted by him or their friends and
sympj lizers or ftot, the effect will
be to i arouse the decent, honest,
courageous people of that city who
after all are greatly in the majority
to the necessity of providing ways
and means by which the prosecution
of such criminals can be success
fully carried on, and their punish
ment on conviction assured. The
"law's delays," and Its failures In
the face of overwhelming evidence
on the most trivial of technicalities
are the great evil that the peopl
of San Francisco must attack, an
they are an evil that should b

by the stage in this incident.
Radiant in the charms of person

Rose Eytlnge, a queen of the stage

Exalted in her conception of woman's

ranks. Portland will recognize In
the incident a momentary relaxation
from the inexorable grind of life
and be delighted with the chance to
applaud the spirit of an occasion so
gentle.
PROFTTAHLE CHOI'S
L
Before signing these petitions vot
ers should consider what such an act
means. It means that they ask cer
tain public officers to do the rery
opposite of what they solemnly prom
ised to do; It means that they ask
these men to forswear themselves, to
betray the people who on their prom
ise elected them.
voters should remember before
signing this petition that they are
asking these men to do a dishonor
able thing, one that would stamp
them with lifelong shame and dis
grace.
Think of It, you voters; at the
behest of a few disgruntled and" dis
credited politicians are you willing
to ask so far honorable men, your
friends and neighbors, to do this, to
make this terrible sacrifice for the
sake of party or a few politicians?
To ask a Statement No. 1 mem
ber of the legislature thus .to dis
honor and disgrace himself Is an in
Bult. Antf to ask any decent, honest
voter to sign such a petition is no
less an insult, and ought to be re
sented as such. It is sought to
bring dishonor and disgrace upon
these men, and as an excuse for
them it Is sought to lnvplve a large
number of voters in a share of that
dishonor, to stain them with a por
tion of that disgrace, to make them
particeps crimmis in the proposed
treason to the people and barter of
men's sacred word of honor.
Voters, think this over before
Ignlng one of these dishonorable,
disgraceful petitions, and then
don't sign. Who is elected senator
is not of itself of much, importance,
as compared with the crime against
the people of Oregon which it Is pro
posed to commit through the aid of
your names. To solicit, a signature
to this petition Is to offer an Insult
to any honest, conscientious voter.
PEOPLING OREGON
0
REGON HAS seven or eight peo
ple to the square mile. Rhode
Island has more than 400. It
Is an unbalanced distribution.
It Is a condition that time and events
will correct. The seven or eight to
the square mile in Oregon will pass
to 20, then 30, and so on up the
gamut of population.
Oregon Is capable of sustaining an
enormous population. The. water
powers in Its mountains are the
agencies for an unlimited Industrial
activity. Time will show that in th
same mountains there are hidden
treasures that will be the means for
other great activities. The forests
on these mountains are another re
source for further unlimited employ
ment of men in the creation of
wealth.. But greater than all these
vare the agricultural areas, utilized
as yet only in a fractional part of
their capacity. The destiny of west
em Oregon is a multiplication of
small farms teeming with an enor
mous Industrial agricultural popula
tion. Supporting now a population
of less than 200,000, the Willamette
valley alone Is destined to eventuate
into an empire of 8,000,000 people
and more. This is the dictum of Dr
Wlthycombe and other agricultural
college experts who have given
especial study to the valley and Its
possibilities.
These are considerations that render
natural the announcement that 30,-
000 acres of the old wagon road land
grant in Benton and Lincoln counties
have been purchased for subdivision
and sale in 10, 20 and 40-acre tracts.
The sale of this land is to be pushed
among small eastern farmers who
want to engage in dairying, orchard
lug and nut culture. The incident is
but one step in the march of Time
The procession is moving and the
small husbandmen that are to take
their destined places in the region
are merely having the way prepared
for their coming.
naively said that those transactions
are merely a matter of bookkeeping.
But it happens that only the O. R.
& N. and not the UY P., can be taxed
in Oregon. By the way, hasn't Ore
gon been pretty good to the O. R.
& N. lfit can declare such dividends,
even for transfer from one pocket
to another?

According to the O. R. & N.'s
representations, dividends of 77 per Land day by day of nearly all they have
which the Socialists cling.
The Democratic party still lives and
In all probability is, under present cir
cumstances, doing as much or more for
the people's good as it possibly could
do if it had won In the last election. If
Mr. Finch has any knowledge of the
world's history he must know that in
all governments there are and have al
ways been two dominant factions or
parties, the one acting as a safety valve
or governor over the machinery of the
other, and he ought to know that the
nearer those parties are balanced, the
better will be the government, the more
Just will be its laws and the easier are
its unjust laws and practices thrown
aside.
So long as people are human, so long
will they differ as to ways and means
f doing things. The Socialists seem to
lose Bight of this fundamental fact and
argue or rather dream that man can
or ought to lay down his private opinion
and accept that of his neighbor with
out question. In other words, to pool
his interests with the world and trust
to luck and the milk of human kindness
for his bread. If Socialism means any
thing, it is this and nothing more.
Where else can it lead? Where else
can it stop
To succeed the first step must be con
fiscation. Confiscation leads to revolu
tion and armed resistance. Is Mr. Finch
ready for revolution? Is he ready for
confiscation? Perhaps. I am not, and
I think there are some 6,000,000 or
7.000,000 Democrats that are not quite
ready yet to give up what little they
have left after the ravages of the G.
O. P. and its tariff and trust bene
ficiaries. We prefer to stand as loyal
subjects to our government and honor
ably contend with and harass the rob
bers than to advocate its destruction
and the setting up of a new and untried
one, the pattern of wtlch the world has
never furnished.
Mr. Finch says "the entering wedare
has at last been pried Into the Demo-J
cratip stronghold of the south and In
due time it will be rent In twain." Per
haps a few Cleveland Democrats didn't
care to swallow the Bryan "pill" this
time. But Mr. Finch sava "nntnt tr,
stronger man than the Commoner" In
the Democratic party. I can't do it,
neither can I find him In the Socialist
party.
Again "why not turn to a young Dartv
with new blood In its veins?" To what
avail? Where did the Socialists come
from? Suppose the entire Democratic
party walked boldly Into the Debs camp.
Would that make black white? Would
the Socialist party than be any better
than the old one? Suppose we could
bring in also the reform or Brvan Re
publicans, . wouldn't the same dominant
ideas prevail?
Grant, for argument's sake, that the
Socialists are reformers, that Prohibi
tionists. Populists and Independents are
reformers, Mr. Finch and every other
Socialist. Prohl. and Populist knows
that nothing tickles the G- O. P.. the
money power, trusts and tariff barons
so much as to see the people who differ
rrom.ana oppose thalr rule to split up
into small factions. With a divided
enemy they fear little and grow bolder
every aay. ,
Once more: Mr. Finch says "the ma
terlal point Is this, that the producers
nave neen too generous with the wealth
they produce." Wrong again. The pro-
ucers have not given their labor to tha
rich,; they have sold It at so much
per," have done so since the world be
gan and will continue to do so till the
end. perhaps, and indeed this is right.
The wrong is that the producers have
allowed their prejudices and fears to be
played upon by the party In power un
til they have been robbed Inch by Inch

Viewing the situation throughout the
length and breadth of the land, in not
a single case is there a grain of com
fort for the reactionary not the re
actionary who by temperament is a
blind but honest Bourbon, but the re
actionary who denies the right of equal
opportunity, who is devoid of ideals,
who sets money above public morals,
who sees in the law a means not to
promote liberty, but, through evasion
and misinterpretation, to foster privil
ege. Of this class are the men who heaped
abuse upon the head of Roosevelt and
discredited the policies of the adminis
tration of which Taft was a potent part
who went so far as to manufacture a
panic, a creation that became their
Frankenstein.
They are the same forces that strove
to defeat Taft in the convention, until
they were forced into sullen surrender
to the people s will. They are the ones
who acquiesced In his candidacy, not
that they hated him less, but that they
reared the uncertainty of Bryan even
more than the certain integrity of Taft.
And tbey are the ones sure to claim
credit for a result with which they had
not one whit to do.
The American people never delivered
