"Wednesday a resolution was- pre
eented to the' state central committee
in charge of the Bower man ' cam-
. palgn. It was a resolution in which
every anti-assembly citizen of Ore
gon believes. It was as follows
,-.. "Resojved, .by the state central
committee of the ,t Republican , party
assembled, that, the Republicans. of
the state at Oregon 'are In favor .of
the direct primary law and in favor
of Statement One being strictly en
forced; that they oppose the calling
or holding of aBsftmblie of conTn
tlons'for the purpose of recommerid-
ingr nominating candidates for the
1 primary nominating" election." "
" This resolution, feeing as It was,' a
simple declaration for the primary
law. Statement One and -against as
eemblles, the committee should have
' adopted- Why not adopt.it if, as is
claimed, assemblyism Is not the 'ia-
sue?
, ' , But the committee rejected it. Mr.
Bowerman was called into consulta
tion.; and ' more than 1 an ; hour was
Bpent in discussing the resolution. As
. a result of his advice' and the views
of the committee, the resolution was
turned down, and' the pretty pretext
put forth that the committee was
' without authority. ; v ! ,
Why cavil any more " about where
Mr, Bowerman stands?, . Why have
further doubt about where any anti
"assembly candidate stands? ..What is
the good of Mr. Bowerman issuing
-.' anymore statements about what he
would do If elected governor? When.
; , acting on his advice, the official com
mittee managing hia campaign jde-
liberately refuses to indorse the pri
-mary law- and -declare against '.'as
semblies, what else is to be said 1 :
Here then, is the issue. Mr. BoW'
erman is for the assembly. His elec
tion : would be an indorsement - by
'th.people. of the assembly. It would
be' a slap at the direct primary. ' It
would be "a repudiation of Statement
One. It would mean the renewal; of
' v the fight by the assembly forces with
more determination than ever. It
would mean more division, more dis
traction and more turmoil. It might
, ultimately mean the throwing of the
election of senator back into the -leg-lsl
atu re and - a - complete returnte
convention politics 'and convention
rottenness. '

forever by beating the assembly can

BECAVSE UNWISE
A
S IT URGED months ago, The
to attempt to p;utJOregon un
der state-wide.- prohibition.
This newspaper has always defended
' and still defends the local option
law. It advocated the adoption of
the local option law, and at a tfme
when the friends of that measure
were In sore need of newspaper sup
port It based its advocacy on the
ground that the plan is local self
government, and in harmony with
v the principle by which our schools
are administered."
The principle oft local option is
sound, and It Is because it, is sound
that it has been so effective in mak
ing dry territory in the country. Be-
cause it is sound, It appealed to the
Judgment and won the support'-of
- the great body, of independent and
conservative - voters. - It. is-, because
the temperance element won the sup
port of this class of voters that it
has made such rapid progress with
its measures, not only in Oregon,' but
, In the country. The fact that more
. ; than 20 rounties of this, 'state mre
'; ' now Jn the dry belt isevidenco ot
the soundness of the local option
, policy, and an object lesson in how
wise It would have been for the tem
perance reformers to have stood con-t-lsteptly
by that plan. ;
But there has been a departure,
v and in the Judgment of The Jour
nal it is an unwise departure. A vast
. , body of conservative citizens who
have been voting consistently and
constantly for local option will not
-.vote or stAte-wide prohibition, i' It
, is the loss of that vote that will "not
. '.only defeat the prohibition-plan, but
"will check the advance of local op
tion itself. Men who have been stand
ing by local option will be divorced
1 temporarily, at least from It, be
cause of the more radical legislation
that Is being attempted.' They were
willing" to gO the length' of permit
,.. ting fliuih .I C'lunty it'll sctijft ffr cif
th flnestlons of; saloons ojf no sa
' ,' loons, but will be unwilling to goto
Iho extrenro of adopting a state-wide
prhlbittoh' In dvn'nro of the' time
' wistn pubiio secUment has reached
ri'f;;"!v'
me point where-enforcemect of the
law would be easy and effective.
Back of every law lies the one
great question of whether br not the
people of the community want it.
If they do not want it, enforcement
is alm'ost certainly nullified. The
natural division for the enforcement
of any sumptuary law Is the county,
for it is in the county that the
sheriff has Jurisdiction and it is the
sheriff that-is the arm that exe
cutes the will of public sentiment,
If that will be hostile to a law, the
sheriff and .other administrative of
ficers will be lax in compelling obe
dience to the law. He yields to pub
lic sentiment rather than to his du
ties as an officer sworn to uphold the
law, 'because he must-depend upon
the' favor of public sentiment for his
votes.' " '
What we have then is this maxim:
If prohibition be forced upon a coun
ty against the will of a dominant ma
jority of Its citizens, the law will be
come Inoperative. . From this .thesis,
there Is "no escape.;. If public senti
ment 'does , not back up-the: officer,
the officer .will not .apply the law
If public sentiment in a given county
does not stand- for prohibition, the
law'wHj'be laughed' at.' If the pub
lic sentiment in the county does not
emphatically .back' Up a prohibition
Uvwv there will be blind tigers, blind
pigs and other .Illicit places where
intoxicants will be sold. Instead of
being at Jeast measurably controlled
in sueb'a county, the traffic will be
uncontrolled, the law .will be in dis
repute and mora harm than good be
done. .-,
These are the conditions as they
stand. We might all wish them dif
ferent But we may as well look the
problem squarely in the face, and
seek to meet it, not on a theory, but
at an actual condition. The Journal
Is for local option, but is opposed
to the state-wllle prohibition amend
ment, because it thinks it an unwise
move. . ,

like Chinese trying to scare off the

Are they mad at Bourne because in
the senate, he and Chamberlain got
the $ 3 0 0,00 0 appropriation for the
Willamette r locks J that Hawley
couldn't get in the bouse?
Why are" they running from assem

under their tongues like sweet mor

it and "iolied on its bosom." : They
told how it would give us "good of-

going, to have it, or-they would "put

"there would be no Republican-par

They adopted their platform. - That

Why try to forget all that Jubi

off under the bed somewhere and
cover it with a blanket until 'after
election? Why try to Bteal it away

Oregonian gays above, the people of
Oregon detest the tariff bill and are
insurglng, how can they vote for, Mr.
Hawley? Following, as it does, Mr.
Bowerman's insurrecto Democratic
statement of the same character on
Tuesday, it must be giving Congress
man Hawley's friends something to
think about. As a' matter of fact, is
it not apparent that, while chatter

gonian and Mr. Bowerman are
stealthily fighting Hawley?
GREAT CHICAGO
0"
NE OF the wonders of the Amer-
lean continent is the city of Chi
cago. The revelations t by the
census of its Bplendid growth
are one of the surprises of thin year
of big facts. ;, It is apparently on the
pqinti of. ; passing from sixth to
fourth, place In the great cities of
the -world. In the 10 years Just
passed its added population num
bered more than 500,000 souls. It
is a growth largesfUban that . of Phil
adelphia, ; St Louis and Boston com
bined. It is 100,000. more than, the
marvelous growth of Cleveland and
Detroit combined. J. ,
Chicago has now a secure place
next to' New York in the American
list of great cities, and next to, Paris
in the cities of the world. It Is
mighty showing f or a city, that In
1837 had a population of only 4170.
In .1840 its population was but 4479,
and in 1850 was only 28.26JL Fifty
years ago, or In i860, its population
was 109,200. In 1870, it had grown
to 306,505, and 1rf 1880 to 503.298.
in4890 it'made the am'ajtng increase
of 118 ' per ' cent and the figures
soared to 1,105,840,' and, with a 55
per cent Increase it went In 1900 to
,698,576.
The world has seen no city built
in more astonishing totals. . The
forces assembled in its rearing were
and are of enormous -potentiality.
The impetus of, its onward move
ment seems to increase with Its age.
In contemplation of its splendid ex
pansion observing people involuntar-
ly exclaim, great Indeed Is Chicago!
THE NEW REPUBLIC
fHE FLAG of a republic floats
over all public huUdjaga In the
capital of Portugal. The gov
ernment Is In the hands of rev
olutionists, and the royal family and
the principal figures of the royalist
party are fugitives. Revolt in the
army and navy made the overthrow
of the monarchy a comparatively
easy task. In contrast with other af
fairs of the sort, the period of hos
tilities was-brief, the loss of life
small and the destruction of property
light ' . - . i
One by one, long lines of dynasties
are crumbling.' That system of go
ernment is gradually passing from
the face of the earth. The memor
able thesis that "all governments de
rive their Just powers from the con
sent of the governed," Is in the
minds of peoples everywhere. The
echoes awakened v by the old bell
ringer on the 4th of July, 1776, are
still reverberating: As the evolution
of the races goes on, more and more
monarchies will collapse and more
and more will, the Individual citizen
gain larger influence In public af
fairs. It is well.
Who la furnishing more campaign
material against Congressman Haw-
teythanaTe-Bowermanndthe "Ore
gonian-in their old woman's attempt
to make Bourn an issue? Bower
man's insurrecto Democratic assault
on Bourne's tariff votes Tuesday was
as hard a slam at Hawley as at
Bourne, for they, voted together on
the bill. This morning's editorial in
the Oregonian declaring that Oregon
people are against the bill and that
they are "insurglng" is as good cam
paign material as Hawley's opponent
could desire. What a wild, woolly
and wierd campaign are we beholding
in Bowerman's behalf! It is Demo
cratic, standpat, InBurrecto, State
ment One, BrookfrBean bill, assem
blylte, sacrifice of Hawley, or any
thing you like to. get votes. What
a contrast with the dignified and
straightforward campaign when such
a man as Governor Lord was at the
head of the ticket.
The Journal sends greetings to the
Oregonian and Mr. Bowerman in
their fight on Congressman Hawley.
It, too, is opposing the candidacy
of Mr. Hawley. The fact that they
are stealthy foes from within while
The Journal is an opet foe from
without may make their efforts the
more effective. With the combined
onslaught Mrv IIawloy will doubtless
have hard sledding. The Incident Is
a case of making good In the Ore
gonian's recent threats to "put the
knife" to Republican candidates, and
this "knife to the hilt."
The New York Republican Platform
From the New Tork Evening- Post
.The Saratoga convention puts . Itself
squarely behind the Fayne-Aldrlch tar
Iff act It knows nothing of Mr. Roose
velt's recently discovered moral Issue In
the. tariff, or In the recent revision of
the tariff. By no Sign or hint does
It indicate that special interests, with
an Illegitimate and sinister hold en the
party, dictated any reature or the tar
iff as it stood before the revision or
as It stands , now. Notorious as it is
that not even the, crudest attempt was
made to conform with the promise of
the Republican platform, the Saratoga
platform has the effrontery ta talk
about "still more, accurately" determin
lng In the future the difference In cost
of production at jiome and abroad. What
was done in the last Republican cam
palgn In the way of tariff reform
promises was accurately:, characterised
by Judge Parker in his speech. "The
promise of revision of the tariff," he
aujuration of the next president was
intended to hold the .tariff reduction Re

the phraseology was to be made clear

because the trick th undevised was car

been executed that the bis men of "the
regular Republican organ liatlon realized
that the honest tariff reduction Repub
licans -were sufficient in numbers and
importance to be reckoned with after
election 1 well as before. President
Taft's Winona, speech, following on his
laudation of Aldrlch at Boston, was the
stgnaiffor the breaking- out of a storm
of which the strength and volume -have
been made continually more manifest
from that day to this. And yet the
Saratoga convention calmly goes on rec
ord as standing pat upon the Payne-

Portland, Or., Oct . To the Editor,
of The Journal-While everybody on the

The general feeling la, that the guilty
persona must be found and held j, to an
swer before tha law. Eut the law has
its .limitations; , full justice la rarely
done by means of It, and in a crime of
suan enormity, both s to intent and re
ults,rthe law can only fall far short of
ustice. W.W9 opinion ; must supple
ment the work of courts, or the execu
tion of. criminals will not stay; the com
mission .of crime, ' . . .,-
When It Is the killing of a president
by a half insane crank, there is evn
then a" community ef responsibility.!
The unbalanced mind of the crank was:
more susceptible to the evil suggestion
conveyed in inflammatory talk and print
than waa the mind ot another man. But
wnen the crime is done by several men,
as the recent dynamiting must nave
been, the bounds of the community re
sponsibility are unquestionably wide.
It is for the police to hunt down the
perpetrators, it ia for the public to
discover and put us mark of utter con
demnation upon the words and acts
which have conveyed and focussed the
spirit of hatred in a few men until It
has burst forth from them into terrible
deed, , .
v Wherever In this long and now acute
struggle between capital and labor
words of bitter hatred have been spoken
or printed there has been Incitement to
crime. Wherever acts of violence have
been done there has been incitement to
greater crtmea. The acts of violence
are not enough abhorred by the public,
while the words of violence are tsien
with a leniency that-: amounts to levity.
Behind all lies the thought of hatred
lp many hearts, s, flame lighted by the
greed to which it is opposed, and which
it reflects back with absolute faithful
ness. ' ' ' ' ' '
Perhaps it Is idle to dwell upon the
origin of all .the trouble, which is just
plain greed and selfishness. But there is
a motive mat ougnt 10 oe accessible
In every American citizen, and that is
the obligation that all me cr are under,
to, fight fair.
If in this fight It Is unfair to take
life, it Is unfair to indulge in words
that Incite- to taking life. If It is
unfair to destroy property, it is uuair
to Inflame weak minds to its destruc
tion, ... Again, If it is unfair to take
life, It is unfair to keep men so close to
starvation that life ceases to be valu
able. The publlo now tolerates the causes
that must occasionally find vent in
such enormities as the Los Angeles af
fair. Publications of wide circulation
are-filled with- mallgnanttUckS-jiponi"0 oltnwho lsa taxpayer shailbe
law-abiding citizens and upon Institu
tions which exist with the consent of
the majority. Thoughtful people read
ing these ebullitions of hatred and mur
der cannot be surprised that they have
come tL their, full expression in destruc
tion and actual murder. While the
writers and publishers and propagand
ists engaged ta this unfair fighting con
tinue their work, new dynamiters ' will
step forward to take the place of those
that are hanged, and what tne ena win
be no man can tell. ;
There is only one remedy, and that
is for the public which today tolerates
and even encourages malignant speech
to recognise its complicity in tne crimes
that are the inevitable sequel. No man
Is wholly free from complicity in the
blowing up of the Times who has not
done his utmost to put out of business
the school that educated the men who
did the deed, at., least by refusing it

For over two months have I been try

state I certificate Issued in 1908, and am

school two years. But It seems there Is
no position for me. is it that employ

that certain local influences rather than

SHALL WOMEN VOTE IN OREGON?
One of tks Questions Vfaich
Whether women shall be allowed to
vote on the same basis as their brothers
In. the atata of Oregon ia one of the
Questions to- be decided en November I
by-the voters. Although the state has
three times denied women the privilege
of voting, the suffrage advocates are
hack again with as much enthusiasm
as ever, asking the men to confer equal
voting .rights upon .them.
The title of tee amendment this year
reads, "Women's taxpaylng suffrage
amendment granting to taxpayers, re
gardless of sex, the right of suffrage."
This ballot title gives the Impression
that the amendment la intended only to
give the voting power to women who
own property and pay taxes, and it ap.
pears that the original purpose of the
framera of the proposed amendment
was to confine the movement to tax
paying women, but as the amendment
actually Is it gives all women the voting
privilege. ' ----.-..
The opponents of the amendment have
charged the misleading title is en at
tempt" to deceive and "throw dust" in
the eyes of the voters. The suffragists
say this Is not true, the difference be
tween the ballot title and the effect, of
the amendment being caused. by a mis
take in emitting a few words, which. If
inserted, would have made the proposed
legislation apply only to women who
pay taxes. , , - .
Text of the Amendment

' The war of the Austrian succession,
which raged In Europe and on the ocean,
and In India and America, from 1740
to 1M8, was brought to an end on Oc
tober If 188, by aicongress of all the
belligerents whioh met at Alxla
Chapell. Th session of this congress
were begun In April of that year, and
the treaty was not finally settled upon
until the leventh of October. The-4n-
fluence of England and Tolland forced
the peace upon Austria ana earoima,
though both were bitterly aggrieved by
its conditions.
France agreed to restore every eon
quest she had made during the war, to
abandon, the cause ot the Stuarts and
expel the pretender from her soil: to
demolish, In accordance with earlier
treaties, the fortifications of Dunkirk
on th side of the sea, while retaining
those on the side of the land, and . to
retire from the conquest without ac
quiring any fresh territory or any pe
cuniary compensation. , 5 1
England, m Hit manner, restored the
few conquest she had made, and sub
mitted to the somewhat ' humiliating
oonditlon of sending hostages to Paris
as a security for the restoration of Cape
Breton. . The disputed boundary between
Canada, and Nova Scotia, : which ...had
been a source of constant difficulty with
France, was left altogether undefined.
No real compensation wa obtained for
a war expenditure whioh is said to have
exceeded $64,000,000, and which had
raised the funded and unfunded debt to
more than 378.000,001). ,
Of the other powers, Holland, Genoa
and the little state of Modona, retained
their territory as before the' war, and
Genoa remained mistress of the Duchy
of Finale, which had been ceded to the
king of Sardinia by the treaty of Worms
and which It had been a main object of
his later policy to secure.
, Austria obtained a recognition of the
election of the emperor, a general, guar
antee of the Pragmatic sanction, and
the restoration of everything she had
lost in the Netherlands, but she gained
no additional territory, . She was com
pelled to confirm the cession of Silesia
and Glats to Prussia, to abandon her
Italian conquests, and even , to cede a
considerable part of her former Italian
dominions,

' Arguments Against Suffrage.
lAnti-suffragists oppose to this the
contention that women should keep out
of politics, and they point to states
where Woman suffrage has been granted
to show that the old evils have not beon
suppressed toy the votes of the women.
It in asserted by the Anti-Suffrage as
sociation that a majority of the women
themselves do not want to vote, and
that suffrage would be demoralizing to
the women.
Woman suffrage was submitted 1n the
election of 1900 and defeated by 3137
majority. In 1909 it was again de
feated, this time by a majority of 10,

In Europe, by so much bloodshed and
treachery, by nearly nine years of
wasteful and desolate war. The design
ef the dismemberment of Austria had
failed, but no vexed questions bad been
set at rest Of all tlje ambitious proj

war, that of Frederick alone was sub

Thus ended the War of the-Austrian
