Selected. FOR WOODROW WILSON. The fact that 16 democratic Unit ed States senators. Senator Chamber Iain among the number, favor the nomination by the democrats of Gov ernor Vfoodrow Wilson should be In fluential with Oregon democrats when they express their choice for president on April 19. ' The senators who are sunnortine Wilson know the type of man he Is and they know his opponents. They know the forces that are at work not only to name a reactionary as the re publican candidate for president but to throw the democratic nomination also to the standpatters. They do not want those forces to succeed in their move for they are working to thwart file true purposes of demo cracy to turn the stream Into un natural channels. If the' democrats of this state want the democratic party to become a vi tal, moving force in the affairs of the country they should work to make it the progressive party by naming Governor Wilson as the par ty's candidate for president. If the democratic party cannot become the progressive party there is little ex cuse for its existence. Under the leadership of Tft and his followers the republican party answers all the purposes of a reactionary" party. In the early days of the American rr public the democratic party was the party of the people. Whether it will be such a party during the coin ing presidential election or merely Wall street's Party No. 2 will be der tcrmined at Baltimore. Oregon democrats will have an opportunity It express their sentiments on April 19. They should vote for Woodrow Wilson and progressive democracy. MAKING HEADWAY. The suffrage street meeting held here Saturday was a spectacle that j-hould make men think. There were things about that meeting that should lispel Borne old time notions about the suffrage movement and give peo ple a true id-a of the move as it is now b-lng carried on. The old time M-a of the suffrage fiKht was that it was carried on ty a few erratic women and that the average woman had no interest In the matter or was perhaps opposed to the move. In times gone by that conception, may have been correct. Hut it holds good no longer. The meeting Saturday gave evi dence that the suffrago campaign 1 not in the hands of cranks or faddists but of representative women. Tbe -rowd was addressed by a woman who gave no rabid barnstorming 'talk but made instead an eloquent vomanly appeal for votes for women. ruch an appeal made under such conditions could not help being ef fective. It was a talk such as men like to hear who are. thinking of vot ing for equal suffrage. Such men want to know that representat've womanhood favors the move. The tiling is not a question of the right or of the ability of women to vote but merely one of expediency. In the view of this newspaper the women of Oregon will get the ballot this fall becauso they are taking fteps to show that average woman hood favors the move. Such a show ing will prove more effective than a resort to trickery or hatchets. THK WAY IS EASY. Since the recent power merger In Portland numerous suggestions have been made as to how' the people may obtain relief. Some advise state reg ulation. Others want the city of Portland to condemn the property of the trust and take it over. Discuss ing the general subject of power de velopment State Engineer Lewis comes out in favor of Joint state and national water power development. All of the suggestions made contain points of merit. But Pendleton does pi.t need to bother with such round about methods. The city has an op portunity to solve the question with out resort to a state commission or waiting for federal and state control of power plants. Pendleton has an opportunity to secure a power site of its own an! one that is reported to be superior to the site used by the trust. It Is a splendid opportunity. - ' VOTES FOIt WOMEN. . In the beginning of our actual work in the campaign for woman suffrage it is of vitaL Importance that we keep the issue ever before us. Tliis one thing, votes for women, is the object, the one object, now. The women of Oregon do not have the vote; until they have thaiTthey should know no party, republican, democratic, urohibltlon, socialist, par ty names oall sorts stand together. It 19 not likely that any party will en tirely Ignore the issue and one vote for us is as good as another. Party politics are no part of today's work. Oregon men are saying, more of them than ever before, if women want to vote we are willing. Our first business is to show them unmis takably that we want the ballot. W. CHICAGO CHIVALRY. When the epic of Chicago is final ly written let not the historian over look the chivalry of her men, an in stance of which is reported by a New York man lately returned from Eu rope. "I met the Chicago Don Quixote," said the New Yorker, "at a little French hotel whose proprietor had siezed as her only available luggage a pet dog belonging to an . English woman who had refused to pay about half of her exorbitant hotel bill. Through the open door The angry host and the still angrier guest battled for the dog. When the'' contest raged fiercest the Chicago man intervened. " 'Just you stay out here with the rest of your baggage,' he said, 'and I will soon get the dog for you." "He stepped Inside and shut the door. In less than three minutes he reappeared with the dog tucked under one arm. "How on earth did you accomplish It?" asked the woman and her sym pathlzers. " 'Oh, that's all right,' he said. 'It's easy enough to manage fellows of his stripe if you only know how.' "On our trip to the north of France every member of the party tried to extract the Chicago man's secret for subduing conscienceless landlords, but without avail. The Chicago man and I crossed the ocean together. When we got In s'ght of the Singer building I said: " 'Now that our trip is ended, won't you kindly tell me what 'you did to brins that French landlord to terms?' " 'Certainly,' said he 'I paid the ret of the woman's bi 1." " New York Press A NEW USE IX)R SUBWAYS. Paris may soon have its "Metro letter," in addition to its petit bleu, Somebody with an Imagination has suggested that the extensive system of the Metropolitan Subway be used in combination with pneumatic pos tal tubes. If that Idea is carried out, your Parisian will simply drop his letter into a box at a subway sta tion, have it transmitted by the Met ropolitan to the subway station near est its destination, and then forward ed by pneumatic tube. To be sure. all this means the employment of more men, both at the subway station .'o handle the mail and on the trains t. sort the letters. If that system Is ever carried Into effect, Paris will have an additional postal service, somewhat slower than the petit bleu of the pneumatic tube, and somewhat faster than the ordinary letter distribution. At pres ent, the average Parisian tube letter Is delivered in one and one-quarter hour after It is posed, and from four to five hours In the, ordinary way. The Metro-letter could be sent in two hours at a cost less than that of a pneumatic letter and somewhat more than that Of a regular letter. Here we have a suggestion which might be well worth carrying oat In American cities provided with sub ways. To be sure, no American city has a pneumatic tube system com parable with that of Paris or Berlin, but on the other hand a vast amount of time could be saved If the sub ways were used as an aid to the post office department.

PITNEY A BASEBALL STAR, There"" was no man better pleased over the appointment of Chancellor Mahlon Pitney to be a justice of the United States supreme court than Michael J. Ryan, a fireman of No. 4 engine company of this city. "They spoiled a big league ball player in making Pitney a lawyer; but he's made good at the law, as he would have in ba-eball," was Mike's com ment. In the early 80's Dover had a base ball team that beat everything around tho state. Dover needed a crack pitcher and Ryan was sent for and became a deputy marshal .of the town and began to play ball. The first game he pitched he met Mahlon Pit ney, then covering the first bag for Dover. . "I'd seen men cover first many times," says Ryan, "but that big fel low was something new. He was all there and had everything the much touted stars have today, except a glove. Like all men of that day, he played with bare hands. I've seen all the stars play first and never yet have I seen a man who beat Pitney at It." Philadelphia Record. DISDAIN FOR DIGNITY. A Scot whose name was Macintosh, and who was proud of the fact that he was directly descended from the chief of the clan, was having a dis pute over the fare he owed to a taxi driver who had transported him to his home In the East End. The man with the meter talked loud and harshly and it angered the High lander. ' "Do you know who I am?" he de manded, proudly drawing himself up to his full height. "I'm Macintosh.
