been about six to one, and some
firm Aa mnra Thai aman aVilff In
J the ratio is an extraordinary
' Loss by the. Republican party
The troubles that have set upon
1 Republicanism of late, is another.
The refusal of great Republican
and Gaiunger to accepts the prin-
l ciples of progress and the manner
In which they are Bteadily holding
the party for standpatism, is an
other. But a' more powerful force in
the change is the progressive and
constructive leadership of Wood
row Wilson. . He has liberated in
dustry with a new tariff bill.; He
has emancipated American credit
with a. new currency bill. He has
i set about to control the trust
domination of this country with
amendments to the Sherman law.
He has Induced his party major
ity in Congress to translate into
law the things that were earnestly
desired by the Republican masses,
by the Democratic masses and by
the Progressive masses. He has
'made the Democratic party stand
for humanism as contrasted with
dollarism. He hasu made democ
racy symbolic of the? multitude and
required It to be the vehicle for
translating the. people's will into
sovereign statutes.
All this Mr.1 Wilson has done
without beating of cymbals and
blowing of .umpets withAut"3affif
gadocio or bluster, without swag
ger or shrieks. Simply and direct
ly, he has taken . the 'people and
taken Big Business into his confi
dence and frankly explained the
peaeeful-and purposeful designs of
the new American freedom, a free
dom that solemnizes a new birth
. of opportunity for the average
man and a new liberation of busi
ness, and money from the. domina
tion of one man power.
A consequence, along with other
contributing factors, is that there
are now more Democrats regis
tered in Multnomah county than
is usual at the close of the regis
tration period. When the registra
tion is completed, there will be
twice, if not three times as many
. registered .Democrats .asln any
recent year. :
Among the recruits are Repub-
llcans who have abandoned their
' old-time alignment, Progressives
who have changed their affiliations
' riore than their faith, and Demo
crats who have returned to their
first party love.
It-is a phenomenal change.

Were Mr. Hill's statements due
to ignorance of the facts? Or,
were they made under the impres

Meanwhile, since the head-men

WHY TAXES ARE HIGH
S
July. . . The : meeting was one of
several similar gatherings In dif
ferent cities, of th United States,
all using the anniversary pt Wash
ington's birthday as a fitting time
for urging pure .Americanism upon
the newly naturalized.
A few weeks ago Dr. HIrsch de
plored "foreign nationalism," which
he said Is being "fostered in the
United StatesJ by a class of self
seeking politicians." Last Sunday
he called attention to a growing
anti-foreign sentiment, saying:
Let us see to It .that our conduct
disarms this sentiment. Let .us so
live that our lives will show America
that it has been enriched by our be
ing; here. Let us go to the ballot
box without thoug-ht of rae. but of
the welfare of all huinajiity. Think
twice before you vots for a country'
man. I would never give my vote

West, when he was resisting
the raids on!: the public treasury
at the 1913 session?
When the governor appealed to
the legislature to segregate appro
priation bills j so the veto could be
used, why did not the Oregonlan
back up that appeal? Why did it.
Instead of helping the - governor,
constantly condemn him for using
the Veto? Here is a .sample Ore
gonlan utterance of the time: t
The governor now threatens other
vetoes if his legislative program shall
not go through. Ha proposes that the
members shall line up or take the
consequences j. When the governor
sends in his vetoes let us hop that
he will abide by the constitutional
reauirement that the bills shall be
returned with i his objection. When
his real objections shall be entered
1b the record. It will be seen how far
constitutional ; government has been
superseded with government by pas
sion and prejudice, and how far a
sacred, constitutional prerogative has
been converted into a vicious execu
tive club.
Instead of approval, the Oregon
lan had only jabs for the governor
when he vetoed the general appro
priation bill at the 1913 session.
It did the same after the legis
lative session of 1911 when Gover
nor West,, by his vetoes, saved the
taxpayers $613,874. Instead of
commending him for that greai
saving of tax money. It sneered at
him, jeered him and condemned
him. Here Ib a sample of Its
criticism: j
What furies of indignation and
wrath -the News would have dis
played if Mrj West's opponent had
been elected governor and had vetoed
some seventy bills passed by the leg
islature, many of them because they
came from his political opponents,
or because he, wan ted to put the leg
islature in a hole, or because he
is a Jew. He must have other quail
flcatlons. ,
"Think twice before l yon vote
for a countryman," is. good advice.
Citizenship means something more
than opportunity to promote the
political chances of men who make
such appeals. .Dr. HIrsch per
formed a real service in thus call
ing attention to the sacredness of
the ballot at a time when elec
tions are near.
In many Btates politicians pull
nationalistic strings, and it Is
sad fact that this method of se
curing votes Is often successful
iyA chief reason for the anti-foreign
sentiment in the United States is
the fact that many naturalized
citizens vote for a candidate be
cause he happens to be of foreign
extraction, t is wrong, because
nationality Is no test of honesty
or efficiency. It Is vicious, be
cause self-seekers are able to profit
by it.
But If the newly naturalized are
expected' to 'place full value upon
their right of franchise, what
should be expected of the native
stock? As a matter of fact, preju

for their past or for their present. Xv
To one elass of men society seems
Peculiarly unjust to the "unfrocked."

matter how conscientious and sincere
his motives, is always looked .upon
askance. We persist in regarding- him

of desertion and disloyalty. - f , ; '
iWhy? ;Xs it not more honorable to
leave holy orders, when one no longer
believes the articles of faith, or when
one Is convinced of thoj Inutility of the
institution, when the development of
one's mind and heart has led him hon
estly-to these convictions, than to re
main and be Insincere?. '"; - :.
Does not the church Itself believe
that an honest layman,' no matter what
his views, Is better than a dishonest
clergyman? r j : "
For, all that, the rapture between
the; parson and his organization Is
always painful. Laymen hardly wel
come him. r By a strange Illogicality
we art usually cold to the men who
enter our ranks for conscience's sake.
We mistrust them: we put pressure
upon them to conceal their past as
something of which to be ashamed:
as a ruleT they have a hard time
making- a living. I
Among the ex-elerg-ymen

In most Instances men enter the

arrive at maturity their convictions
may in all honor have undergone a
change. It should not be taken as a
matter of course that their reluctance
to continue in the ministry means t

rity. The minister may discover that.
while his religious sentiment I is as

Glfford Pinchot is one of the

value in the senate of theF United

is evidence that Christianity has a
large field of opportunity for the

the door to Christian missionaries,
and now that country is appealing
to the church for assistance in set
