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.

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.

whether it is better for a child to be

large a subject to be handled in a few
words, but this much It Is sae to say:
when much wealth so engrosses th
father that he haa not attention to

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: .!', - ,
