J ' The truth is that the Democratic party in this state '.was disorgan ized and incoherent before the di rect primary came. So was the Republican party.

He- said'i -V, 'J' ' It has been charred tonirht ttiat th primary law has disrupted the Repub lican party. I deny it. ; The Republi can party was disrupted lon before the direct primary was ever dreamed of or .heard of. Tou cannot deny it Let us be honest with ourselves and each other. In all the political history of this state, the voters of Oregon have declared in a presidential elec tion for the Democratic nominee but once, and that was In 1868 whea Hora tio Seymour carried the state over General Grant During the same period we have had iO governor of , this states, yiv of these governors have been RarebHcana snd five have been Democrats. Of these five elected as Democrats, three were re-elected for a second term. Of the five elected , governors of Oregon as Republicans, hot one was ever re nominated or re-elected, and all of this long before the direct primary was ever heard of. Does this mean noth ing to you? The trouble with the Re publican party of "-Oregon Is that ft was toe large, too unwieldy, i For many years past, we have had no minority party In this stats at all. There was no minority party, i that would have put the Republicans of Oregon upon their good behavior.? - Judge McGinn, recited truthful history. The Democratic party lost its great prestige irii I IT 8, fit was utterly disrupted . when Governor Penaoyer, s Democrat, went over to the Populists in, the; 80's, carrying with him Democrats by (thousands.

As Judge McGinn says,- all this was going On "Jong before the di rect primary was ever heard of or" dreamed ofv j', : , - The present "disparity" between the parties ia a calamity ; to , the state, but, as Judge McGinn says, it was not caused by the direct primary.-1 - -. ; 4 , ' "Courtegy is one of "therf und mental keynotes of success in any line .of business. says " WKliam Gibbs McAdoov and so great is .the modern truth, of the stateddnt that we challenge anyone to exhibit a business dealing with the public which Is today succeeding in spite Of j discourtesy.' ; The adoption of courteous methods explains' ia large part the changed relations of utili ties to the public, j " .''

This, in ; sub stance, was President Harding's reply to the Philippine mission, as it is, also, the attitude f those American papers which oppose the separation movement. Supporters of the Filipinos, however and they seem to constitute a majority of the papers commenting on. the matter contend that a discussion of the four power, treaty In relation' to Philippine independence Is beside the point that the issue is merely one of good faith and fulfilled promises, y. e ' t . "It can be' said safely." the Boston Poet InL Dem.) tbinka, "that, inde pendence for - the .PhiUppInea le no longer a distinctly political issue in this country." : The New.: 'Haven Register (Ind.) recalls that "Democrats from Bryan down 'have professed to differ violently from the Republicans on the Philippine ' issue.' ' But the recurring Filipino : delegations ' to Washington have ' had. nothing more from Deno cratic presidents than from Republi cans, unless it be in promises, ain$ the itew York Call (Soa) notes that Presi dent Harding has given the latest mis sion the ; same reply that "Filipinos have received from Roosevelt. Taft and Wilson. r Nevertheless, editorial opin ion seems fairly divided on party lines, most of the support of the independ ence movement comins from Demo cratic papera " s. .' J ? . The Knoxville Journal and Tribune (Hep.) asserts, however, that if any partisan advantage ' attached - to the matter ft would have'rested in com pliance with the request of the dele gation from the Philippines," and "de nial of ithis request will . no doubt be made much of by Democratic spell binders , between now . and fall.. But the! refusal was made, , in the opinion of writers who: approve it because the situation is in no way changed from that which has dictated the American position for a decade. 'There is noth ing', in, the four-power- treaty, the Grand Rapids Press 'Ind.) points out, -"which says that the Philippines, once removed from American control and made an independent nation, would be included under its provisions. Even if it contalndd aucb a rtroviaion. the Philadelphia Public ledger (Ind.yaddsH It could have no immediate application to ithe question,: since "most of the participating nations have not yet rati fied the treaties agreed upon." - "The Philippines are' American terri tory and there is no good reason why they should not remain so." asserts the; New; York Tribune. (Rep.), whch interprets the toiovemenfi or independ ence as "largely the-work, of a mall political class which1 aspires to make an experiment in nationalism for which the: people of the islands as a whole are not prepared." - Precisely because the United States has had-enough experi ence with that kind of nationalist as pirations the Memphis Commercial Ap peal (Dem.) advocates" caution in the matter ef turning, the Philippines over to ithe natives.. "The example set by Cuba,' it thinks, "cannot be considered any toe promising and no one can deny that the Cuban people were much, better fitted for self-government when this country withdrew after the war with Spain than the Kiliprnoa are today." In the opinion of - the . Lansing: (Mich.) State Journal CInd,) untries under the control of a strong -civilized power such as the United States are usually far happier and certainly safer than when they possess the so-called lib erty, and since "the Filipinos now have share in their own government," and !have progressed and j prospered," the paper asks. "What more can they pos sibly; wish for?" V 'f -j .? ' ' ; - - ' '.But that they do desire more seems to vbe -the inescapable deduction from the continued agitation. While the In dianapolis Star (tad Rep.) Is confident thatfhe Filipinos, as President Hard ing assured them, wll JMt be kept un der our flag against their own desires." it f till feels that "we owe It to them not to east them adrift? until they are amply prepared for such action." and Tt con tends V that ;we, not t a few agitators inlManlJa, are to be judges on that point. -Th ere, however, many writers disagree.- declaring that such a policy Raven ample room for "hypocrisy and humbug., as one paper suggests, by a perpetual postponement of the dia eovery that the proper degree of "fit ness", has been achieved: The Fili pino delegation would be Justified, the Hartford Times (Dem.) believes, lu "demanding to know who has author ised anyone' but themselves to deter mine the question of fitness," and pat ently, the paper continues, the deter mination of that conditionals "a rather delicate matter, particularly when the deciding nation stands en the principle that every people has a-right to Inde pendence and freedom." - That difficulty should have been niet In the legislative promise to grant free dom to the Filipinos, the Newark News InA.) thinks, and it was a great mis take that "the legislation did not of fer a method whereby .they might de termine at the" proper time whether they desired independence," for "it is easy to imagine the effect that may be produced on the ardent independents continuously to jbe put off with the promise that If and when the propcr time comes, the islands, will be, given their full freedom." Particularly, the Norfolk Virginian Pilot , (Ind- Dem.) adds, when with that .familiar "some tune" is coupled, as the president has done, 'the suggestion that progress in fitness for independence might result in developing , relationships .between America and the ytlrpinos" such that the Islanders would no longer consider separation desirable - The effect, the Dee Moines Register (Ind. Rep.) says flatly., "will be insurrection In the Philippines.

LEADERS WHO 'ABOUT-FACED Republican Committee Resolutions Text for a-Comparison of Records. Klrkford, June 29 To the Editor of The Journal I have read the Repub lican state central committee's resolu tions indorsing the Harding adminis tration in its entirety and compliment ing' him on taking the initiative in the disarmament conference. Are they not appropriating honors not justly due? This the following historical facts will prove. ' 'I would refer the Republican state central committee to Theodore Roosevelt's address to the Nobel prize committee -at Cbristiania, Norway, May 5, 1910, to be found on page 9303. Congressional Record of that year, wherein he" asserts that rulers or statesmen should bring about com binations ef nations linked together, with Xorce behind them, to "maintain peace without armament. . Such a ruler would have earned his place in history tor all time and his title to the grati tude of all mankind. Again. Roosevelt, in a series of articles in 1915, published in the New York Times, set forth his conception of a league of nations so constitutedVwith force behind it,; that a like war pould never happen again. In the same strain of thought, did not Lodge in an address to the League to Enforce Peacev and to Union college, state that it would be a trtme against civilijation If a peace council was not formed, with Such force behind it that such a.war eou"d never happen again? - Wilson must have got such an asso ciation of , nations in the League , of Nations when it met the approval of Hughes. Taft and Root, three of the most able jurists in our land, and all Republicans.! In doing such -, noble work Wilson was opposed in' every conceivable way by Roosevelt, Lodge, Harding and the Republican senators of the- round robin. , Now they give their leader great credit for calling a disarmament conference, when disarms anient was the kernel, of the League of Nations covenant. v jAnd : J ! ask them if, rln sanctioning the Harding administration, they are looking out for the rights of their chil dren and their Children's children by upholding , the administration in the seating of" duly tried, convicted, and sentenced men ia the senate. There is not an American with reepect for the spirit of i7C i and our national. ' emblem that can do it, by whatever party. 1 Elwood W. Roberts. . FOR A 1123 SLOGAN . : Portland, June X.

Just a few years ago, and began to perfect himself in horsemanship he ft early evolved one cardinal axiom in his. ele mental code of safety first.: He fig ured it out that if a calico-eyed pinto pony started to roll for a few hundred feet down the side of a Umatilla county canyon with him there wouldn't be much danger of getting hurt as long as he didn't let the blamed thing roll on him. ' And when he forsook the hacka more for-the steering wheel he carried this axiom with him from the saddle to the. gas buggy iie drives which ac counts for his having a mere scratch oh: his nose and Mrs. Boylan none at all. Tom went down to Tillamook to breath the salt sea breesee and cele brate the Fourth.- While he was com ing back he met. a rampaging Packard coming up the grade, the pridef ui driver .of which was crowding tne more sum ble ears off the right of way. - Tom, being a cowman, knew from ex'perlence there was no use trying to out-butt a bull, eovhe edged his own car off 'to the roadside, onto the edge of a seem ingly substantial and friendly fill. But, it wasn't It caved off, and Tom and Mrs. -Boylan started sidewise and over and over for the bottom, many uncom fortable feet below. And 'there was wheret Tom's axiom stood him and his life's companion in good stead.' :'. He grabbed her, ducked under the steer, tng wheel, braced himself against the sides, , and "tet'er- buck." f After the' machine had sunftshed a couple of tiroes, and rolled-over f our it , landed bottom up on the edge of a field. Tom. pulled Mrs Boylan out from un der, 6a w' she-was all rights wiped the blood -off the bridge i of . his beak, and hailed a passing farmer. Between the Jwo of them they rolled his buss bdggy over a; couple rnore times until it stood onitafeet in the field, then Tom stowed tbe .battered T top in the : back . seat, "stepped on it, and drove on to Port land, , Which seems to prove the axiom that: you can't get hurt if . you don't let 'em roll on you. In the-meantime, while getting the auto's top- put back on, Mr. and Mrs. Boylan are staying at the Imperial. , j OBSERVATIONS AND i IMPRESSIONS OF THE JOURNAL MAN, By Fred A daughter of Webley Hauzbarat, a Tary early- pioneer, tells ef her father'a eeminc ts Otegoti with twtt other pioneers el eminent historic not.
