THE STATE PRESS I T IS significant that the state pa pers are almost unanimous In their attitude on the senatorshlp. With but few exceptions they are ! fighting for the ratification by the legislature of the popular choice, i The foundations of the economic : i structure are in the commonalty. It Is tl$re that virtue has its Burest - asylum.. It is there that the per capita) of purity is the greatest. If i the social structure had to depend (for its leaven on -what is known as the smart sets of the country, decay ( Would result. It is amid these en- vlronments of town and country that ! the state newspaper does Its work. Jit is from these pure surroundings ! that it receives its inspiration. There is no profit for the farm home in ft corrupted and corrupting system of politics. The Owner of that ' home wants simple and honest gov 'ernment. The piratical raids of ' politicians in public affairs and their , demoralization of legislation cost him a lot of money in excess taxes Tbe money that bosses use ia push ing their candidates under conven tion and legislative regime comes ul timately out of 1iis pockets. The politicians dance, but he pays the ' fiddler. That is why the corrupt ' practices act passed by an over whelming majority last June. That Is why the primary law was swept Into existence by an avalanche of ballots. That is why the compul sory statement vote rolled up to a grand total of 69.668. All were re flection of the spirit of the man on the farm. It 1b ttie spirit that comes ( from nature. Pad habits and evil motives are not contracted from the streams, the fields, the flowers or the woods. Evils are scant In the ' country life and from that life the State paper reflects a healthy, whole- ; some and virtuous spirit. That is why the state press stands for popu : lar election of senator. It Is why the state press stands for a redeemed legislature. It is why the voice of the state press Is almost universally and always for the best Ideals, . ' whether In social, economic or po ; litical life. It has been said that ; the state newspapers are mirrors of .what is nearest the hearts of the peo l pie, and It Is true. ESTERDAY The Journal pre senled the need of leadership In Oregon politics. A state'i welfare is to a considerable ex tent dependent upon the character o Its political leaders. If In that lead ership there Is purity and civic right eousness the ends of good govern ment will be well served. If, on the other hand, there Is impurity, pub 11c affairs and public ends will suf fer. The proof is attested In the bitter memories of the old political regime In this state. In yesterday's presentation of the need of leadership the story was but partly told. There Is a great deal more to point out. It Is the dom! nant party of the state that suffers from the character of Its so-called leadership. Upon that party must depend to a large extent the state's welfare, for in the nature of things that party will be most of the time In control. It Is a party In which the masses are rich in civic right eousness. They are pure In their ideals, lofty-in their opinions. Their votes at -all times have been for up lift. It Is due them that there should be- men around whom they can rally In movements for crystallzation of their Individual ideals. Once given this opportunity there Is no doubt of an outcome that will be highly beneficial to the state and to all its people. The leadership Is all that ia naeded for the marshalling of these forces into a potential activity that will be of infinite service, to the state and Its public affairs. It Is because there Is such opportunity that The Journal brings this subject to public attention. New leadership is needed because the present so-called leadership mis represents the civic Ideals of the masses of the dominant party. It Is a leadership that Is attempting to lead these masses Into false paths. has made to them the amazing proposition of attempting to set aside the verdict of the ballot box by circulating petitions. It was fig ured that if a ballot box verdict as typified In the popular choice of senator could be broken down by similar process other verdicts by the people under the primary law could be upset. By making confusion In one they hoped to confound all, and for that purpose undertook the peti tion enterprise. For a bare-faced skin game" it was-the worst ever ttempted on the people of Oregon. It involved the principle of one man signing a written request for another man to. forswear his own written pledge, made to the people and filed away in the public records. It was straight out petition to men to , commit perjury, to spurn a com pact with the people and to smash the ballot box. No. plan so wholly unprincipled, so completely unscrup ulous was ever seriously proposed to the people of any state. Yet it was urged as a party policy by those who insist that they are leaders of the dominant party in Oregon. It Is an incident that illustrates the need of real leadership, a leadership that will not commit the party to a policy that means travesty on truth and libel on honor, a leadership that has scruples In politics as well as at the mourner's bench, a leadership worthy of the traditions of a party whose rise to power was on an issue of conscience and Justice. For one moment Imagine Sumner, Imagine Phillips, Imagine Lincoln, In contem plation of this petition scheme, and then answer the question as to whether or not the Republicanism of Oregon does not need a new lead ership! For the sake of the party and for the sake of the state ought not new men to be raised up for a leadership that will lead? and as seems at this distance to have Deen the case at Kansas City.

It Is a conception of prin ciple rather than of pelf. It Is a conception that is the rallying point of millions of American electors and It will be evil days for both tbe Dem ocratic party and the country when Bryanlsm is, if ever, snuffed out.

OI K PRICELESS WATER. BRYAMSM T A IHERE IS a greater field of use fulness for a political rartv than the. mere winning of the offices. Victory is sometime a calamity. It was bo with the Dem ocratic party in 1893. It arrived ? tlmultaneonsly with a panic. The : party did not bring the panic, but got the credit for It. That and the unfortunate rending of the partv in twain by the tactlessness of Mr. - Cleveland are so-called sins for wnicn tne uemocratic party still' , suffers. .-'-.Parties are often greater In d'e--'.feat than in victory. Though out .f-ot power Mr. Bryan and his party ! hare been potential agencies for countrywide benefit In the influence .they have exercised in shaping gov ernmental pollicies. That is why there fsi pitiful refrain in the sug gestion that the conference of rem- ocratic leaders now in Washington 'may purpose the elimination of Bryan and Bryanlsm frpm the Demo- cratic party. Why eliminate-them? Bryan and! Sl'BJECT vital to Oregon is alxut to be disctiHsed. It Is a subject of commanding import ance. The state is rich in natural water courses. These water courses are a basis for creation of limitless wealth. Their stored en ergy for use as motive power for manufacturing Industries is of enor mous value. They are sufficient to carry comfort and convenience in various form" to countless farm homes. Every drop of water In every stream, by what It will do for man kind. Is a precious thing. We prize the yellow gold, but all It can do for us is to serve as a tawdry ornament or furnish a favorite metal for ex change. It Las a few uses in the arts, but they are trivial. Compared to the priceless drops of water In our flowing streams it is useless. For the sake of the coming genera tions it is as essential to save this water as it is to treasure the price less soil of the valley. Each is a mine of gold in the wealth it can bring, each a fountain of happiness in the comforts it can supply. Such is the value of our water courses as an instrumentality of potential energy. Scarcely less Is their value as an agency of fructifi cation. . Both science and experience have shown how irrigation will make a dozen blades of grass grow where but one or none grew before. The arid and semi-arid plains of eastern Oregon are as blooming gardens un der the spell of our precious water.

It recalls the case ln Ore gon, where ln the name of religion a vile person named Creffield, head of a Holy Roller sect, used his pro fessions of saintliness as a means for aeoaucning young girls. An effect or his teachings was the sending of nearly a dozen young women to the Oregon insane asylum and several others to the Boys' and Girls' home, his own violent death In Seattle at the hands of a VMther of a girl whose future Cnffkld had ruined, the killing of the brother by the sis ter In revenge for the false apostle's ueam, ana finally the suicide in Jail of the young woman Creffield had niarried. Thia inventory nf traaaA-o resultant from Creffield's vileness does not include the wrecking ot homes, the sorrow and suffering in cident thereto and all the long cata logue of disturbance, demoralization and unrest wrought by this bogus saint. There is a certain reasonable limit in religious devotion.

J "And then? .- i " I y , Then the jr seemed disappointed,?', , ' (Press Service of the A. B. C. F. M.) Not long ago a fire broke out ln the city of Marsovan, Turkey, the home of Anatolia college, a fine educational in stitution for boys, supported by -the American board. The difference In dls- dpi lne and efficiency between the na tive fire department and the voluntary work of the students made a deep Im pression upon those who witnessed the conflagration. When the alarm sound ed, at 2 o'clock In the morning, the Turkish firemen started with a small hand machine across the city, making a terrific noise with blowing trum pets. Somewhat later the boys from Anatolia college set out with a little old engine and an outfit of tin buckets. used on the mission premises. It was a slow process to reach the scene over pitching streets and Asiatic cobbl stones, but the boys were there ahead of the ftre brigade and their Jet was doing Its work before the city pump had found connections. After an hour's fight the flames were extinguished, a neighboring mosque was saved and a general conflagration avoided. Then the boys gathered up their tackle, gave three lusty cheers for Anatolia, and trotted home to bed ln martial order. All that time the city engine lay useless, while the municipal firemen ran around the streets borrowing tins and tubs to carry water to their engine, having neglected to provide buckets. If a river hhd been flowing before the building, they could have done nothing but dip water with their fezes. The next mdrn ing people in the market place talked ln excited tones .about tha student brig ade. They said. "We thought people had to have engines to put out fires. but we see It is done with tin buck ets!" They were loud ln. their praises of the discipline and order maintained by the students, . and . of the splendid way they met an emergency. There are more serious emergencies than fires in the land of tha sultan just at present, and our American Christian schools and colleges are turning out the right sort ef young men to meet them. American friendship shown to Turkey at this crisis in her history is Wkely to bring as rich rewards as It has In Japan. In what better;way can we express this friendship than by supporting colleges like Anatolia? r-V: .!', - , WoncJ erful Rifled Pi Line ipe ' -, . Rewarded. .. From' the Philadelphia. Ledger.
