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

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. Scientific Ameri
can. MIGHT HAVE GOT MORE.

THE REALM FEMININE '

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.
The taxi driver snorted.
