PLATFORM OF THE OREQONIAN.
con
"While party platforms are
.structed and adhered to by the aver
age Oregonlan, tneso uo not contain
hlB(ntir6 icreed and belief. Parties
are too email to contain the unabridg
ed .iloetrlne of the Westerner. There
are things he loves dearly things
he believes with all his heart and
things he practices dally which never
were submitted to a committee on
platform. He has a .thousand house
hold planks which were never unbos-
omed-in the rpolltical convention, yet
they are 'vital to his belief and basic
principles in his practices. He does
not seek to have them confirmed or
echoed through the land. The belief
In them and practice of them, is self
sufficient. They are their own advo
cates. irst and foremost of all these, is,
that the Oregon latchstring is always
hanging on the outside, for the
stranger. "Welcome" Is the counter
sign. "Room and work for the wil
ling" Is written everywhere as a sign
board for the homeseoker. Open
handed Hospitality 1b the keeper of
her gateways, with Instructions to let
the worthy In.
"Pluck and energy and early rising
and friendship" ore the directions on
every milepost. Utility, economy,
steadfast purpose and goodwill are
the great "isms" tin her creed.
, "Drive a peg and gather your earn
lngs around it" and this is the great
secret of success laid bare. This is
the whole mystery of well doing. It
is the lost key to contentment, tho
long-sought formula for happiness.
Ragged boys who come barefoot
into Oregon behind a team of worn
out Kansas mules, in 1878, are now
her capitalists. They saw the beauty
of tl.o Oregon creed, as applied to
life and forthwith adopted it. It
taught them a few naked, unvarnish
ed truths. It taught them that In
raising apples men Bhould strive to
raise the best apples; in farming to
farm tho right way; in doing any
thing to do it Intelligently and thor
oughly. These simple planks have
won out over all the oratory of poll
tlcal campaigns. Men have grown
rich by them, have grown contented
by them; monjiavo lived and died
upright, beloved citizens by them
what more Is asked of any creed, po
lltical or othorwlso?
Tho Oregon platform is broad as
tho borders of the west. It is tinged
with the freedom of tho sea; it Is
fresh with tho vitalizing breath of
the prairies. Its spirit and its vigor
enters into men's lives; it fills them
with an Indescribable purpose, akin
to that vast horizon which surrounds
them.
The people of Oregon long for a po
litical party that will better represent
their Ideals and aspirations, better
illustrate tho meaning of the state's
motto, of flying with her own wings,
bettor lead to a grander common
wealth and a broader citizenship!

Dr. Talmaco nt one tlmo was the
most widely advertised man in tho
pulpit. He did this deliberately with
the view of having a broader field and
more Influence as a worker in it. He
did his share of good and died at the
ripe old age of three score and ten.
Peace tc him, for the world Is bet

PAPER8 AND NEWSPAPERS.
The East Oregonlan proposes to
print the political news, the same as
It does other news, as fully and as
completely, as fairly and as faithful
ly as It has ab.llty and means to meet
tho expense. This paper realizes that
It Is only a small affair, but, notwith
standing its size, it comprehends Its
duty and knows the value of giving
publicity of news of interest to its
readers, regardless of political com
plexion, partisan i colorings and one-sidedness.
On these lines it has complaint to
make of its big contemporary, the
Oregonlan, in Portland. It does not
believe that this great newspaper is
nllllng its destiny by coloring its po
litical now3 in favor of one aide and
against the other, as it has done in
a number of instances of late, In its
news reports. Neither has the Port
land paper a right as a newspaper to
"boom" one candidate for governor
in Its news columns and Ignore or
condemn the other. An honest news
paper must be above this kind of
nowsgathering and circulating con
fining its opinions to its editorial
page, leaving free Its news pages to
straight news, free from bias and one
sided statements, giving the political
news as faithfully as to fact and fig
ure as If It were reporting any event
'In which the public man have inter
est. To do other than this Is to con
vict one's newspaper of a narrowness
that Is not becoming to men of larger
growths and broader minds.
Newspapers should print the nows,
and only ,the nows in its nows col
umns. Both sides and all sides
should have equal treatment.

THE DfcATH OF TALMAGE.
The American pulpit l:as lost an
able worker In tho death of Doctor
Talmage. Ifo had proven himself a
great preacher and his Influenco for
good was far. reaching. He was one
qjftho most interesting characters in
tSo .American pulpit, although not
the ablest, deepest or most sincere.
&Dr. Talmage resorted 'to sensation

Eastern Oregon Republican:
generally conceded that W. J
nish will be the next governor of
Oregon by an overwhelming vote.
With Mr. Furnish at the head of the
ticket the republicans will again
sweep the state.
Joseph Herald: W. J. Furnish waB
nominated by the republican state
convention for governor by acclima
tion. Mr. Furnish is an eastern Ore
gon man, and is well qualified for the
ofllco to which he aspires, and we
have no hesitancy in urging all east
ern Oregonlans to vote for him for
governor.
Wallowa Chletaln: Fprnlsh 1b our

earnestly and won. The cry was so
strong that .western Oregon was
forced to heed. Eastern Oregon 13
fast becoming a power in politics.
It is no longer a mere range an over
flow ifrom tho Wlllametto valley but
It contains wealth and population
that must bo regarded. True, Port
land will always be the metrooolls,
but nothing will strengthen It more
that tho country east of the Cascades
to grow and prosper In wealth. In
asking for Furnish this section only
seeks its deserts. It will bo more
loyal to the stato government for
having a representative in tho guber
natorial chair.
a
Antelopo Herald: William J. Fur
nish, who was on last Wednesday
honored by tho republican party of
his state with the nomination for the
high office of governor. Is a man of
most pleasing personality, of prompt,
decisive and honorable business
methods, of unflinching determina
tion nnd tireless energy. With these
qualifications ho Is sure of tho
thuslastlc support of his party In
ovory section of tho state, and In this
eastern section, whero ho is so well
known, as ono of Its most successful
and substantial business men, ho
will receivo not only tho unanimous
support of his own party, but a strong
support from nil parties. A man of
strong individuality, ono whoso busi
ness enreor has commanded tho ad
miration of nil who know him, a
thorough "good follow" In the holi
est senso of that term, Mr. Furnish
will draw to hlmi irresistibly tho
younger element of tho voters of tho
state. That ho will bo elected, no
ono doubts; .that his administration
of the state's affairs will be clean,
honest and business-like, goes with
out saying.
Balem Capital Journal: The demo
cratic state convention will todav
nominate Geo. B. Chamberlain for
"governor, andthere will be a square

and W. J. Furnish, of Umatilla coun
p Attr(the maaierlin wtiich party
lines h(ye boealbroken In Oregon.
the .election -as between these two
men Is not Koine to be a party con-.
test. The way in which Mr. Furnlsh's
nomination was brought about vir-(
tualiy at tne nictation oi we yieuu.u-
lnant faction at Portland, nnu oy ex
cluding the other faction from parti
cipation in the county and state con
ventions, under tho unit rule, will
leave a large number of republicans
under no Bpecial constraint to. vote
their party ticket. But, on the other
hand, the republican faction that two
years ago made Mr. Chamberlains'
election possible, and defeated the
regular republican ticket are this year
back of Mr. Furnish and are opposed
in Multnomah county by the regulars
in coalition with the democrats. In
other words, the Chamberlain repub
licans of two years ago are this year
the Furnish republicans, and antl
Furnish republicans will support Mr.
Chamberlain.
As Multnomah county has decided
the composition of the republican
ticket, so Multnomah county may de
cide tho state election. What has
Multnomah county at stake? The
senatorship and the exposition? For
senatbr the plan is doubtless to defeat
Mr. Simpn and name Mr. Scott, the
newspaper man of that, town. Mr.
Scott s friends after life-long rela
tions with Mr. Simon find he Is too
small, or too large, a man to suit
their plans. They say Mr. -Scott is
about the right size. Without enter
ing into the merits of the two men,
who are better known to our readers
than this writer, it is Bafe and fair to
say that Portland republican politi
cians now in control of the -rfffalrs of
tho republican party want Mr. Scott
to be senator and all Portland wants
at least a million dollars for the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. Mr. Fur
nish would doubtless favor both pro
positions. Mr. Chamberlain for gov
ernor, could not favor Mr. Scott for
senator, by appointment or otherwise.
As a Portland man he could not do
otherwise than let the million dollar
appropriation for tho exposition be
come a luw. Yet, ho might find it a
stumbling block in the way of his
election. The farmers might ask him
in the canvass to veto that measure.
He could say that must be left to tho
legislature. The farmers would de
mand a veto, or the republicans
among them would vote for their can
didate. But Mt. Chamberlain would
have a way out by saying, adopt the
initiative and referendum amendment
and then you can kill the appropria
tion yourselves If you don't want to
stand the tax. But Mr. Chamberlain
codld never go on record as opposed
to this measure and get the votes of
the people of Portland enough to in
sure his election.
Now what would be the position
of the state government, so far as the
appointive power is concerned, if
Mr. Furnish were elected governor?
It Is well understood that the secre
tary of state belongs to the Fulton
Scott faction in this fight that nom
inated Furnish. If Furnish is gover
nor that faction would have the ma
jority of the two boards that control
all the state institutions, including
the state prison, soldiers' home and
state fair. That faction would make
a clean Bweep of theso institutions.
No ono who fully comprehends tho
animus of Portland politicians could
doubt for a nioment. Tho same fac
tion would have control of the educa
tional Institutions of tho state, and
there Is no evidence that they would
not use their appointing power In
the same manner, and as it has not
been used to any great extent for tho
past four vears. With Mr. Chamber
lain elected governor, the Scott-Fulton
faction would not bo In tho ma
jority on these boards. Mr. Chamber
lain would control the state prison
and Soldiers' Home, and a great
many other appointments that have
been vested in' tho governor. The
Journal wants the people who read
its columns to consider this situation
from a business standpoint, not as
against Furnish or Chamberlain.
Tho Journal believes that tho peo
plo have a right to all tho light that
a public newspaper can throw on tho
situation. Politics In Oregon are not
carried on with tho fairness that
prevails in some states. Tho deslro
to uso power for personal purposes
Is predominant in tho nmds of poll
tlcal managers, and the people have
a fight to check them In any way they
can. It Is certain that the last leg
leglslaturo cost the peoplo over half a
million dollars more than It had any
business to cost. If Governor Geer
had vetoed at least half a million of
unjust appropriations ho would have
como nenror being governor n second
time. The same faction that nredom
luated In tho last legislature predom
inated In tho republican state conven
tion. Will they run tho Furnish stato
administration as they did the legis
lature? Thoy will hardly do as badly
as tnat, uut it is nn open question
whether Mr. Furnish would be gover
nor for tho peoplo or for a faction.
In his canvass Mr. Furnish may make
it piam to tho people that ho would
hold a club over those who havo nom
Inated him, and be governor of the
state in fact, as well as in name. As
for Mr. Chamberlain, he would bo
freo to bo a veto governor if he saw
fit to be.
There Is but ono serious objection
Mir, unamberlaln for governor, and
that is If ho should become governor,
and than turn Ihla mi ..I. .1 J
a certain push that dominates the
counplls of the democratic party. If
hoidld that ho would not benefit the

BRAIN FOOD.
Not loner since there was a great run
on the fish markets because It was an
nounced that fish was food for the brain.
Of course the fallacy of the fad was soon
exploded. Normally the food we eat
nourishes Drain,
nerves, muscle,
bones, etc., each
part of the body
assimilating
phosphorous
salts, lime, ac
cording to its
need. When the
brain begins to
show weakness
or the nerves be
come sensitive it
is a sign that
there is a loss of
the nutrition
contained in the
food eaten, and
this loss is in
general due to
disease of the
stomach, and its
allied organs.
