NOW'fl THE TIME

Democratic party. Herein he has
sounded a, note of antagonism to

Great Unwashed and lead ultimately
to their undoing In the campaign of

for Roosevelt to keep still when he
isn't satisfied. Rather than not to be
seen and heard and read, we fear be
would rather disrupt the party that
thrice honored him with a presiden
tial nomination. Ha may be aincere,
but a sincere man who Is also ob
stinate and likewise wrong Is just
about as disturbing a factor as a cock
roach in the pudding.. .
Coming out in open opposition to
Wilson's policy of preparedness, Bry
an may causa the administration and
his party great embarrassment with
out being able In the least degree to
estop the progress of what he regards
as the militarist movement In ' the
United State. In other words, na
tolnal preparedness will be : carried
forward, despite whatever Bryan says
or does. It Is necessary and It Is pop
ular. Bryan may be aMa to defeat the
administration's program and he may
be able in It IS to defeat the adminis
tration by Imitating Roosevelt and
bolting his party's ticket, but he will
never.be able to defeat preparedness.
If this nation isn't put Into an ade
quate condition of defense by the dem
ocratic party, the work will be done by
the republican party. The great ma
jority of voters recognize the necessi
ty of arming Uncle Sam, aad will tol
erate no half-way measures in that
direction. .
bryan Is unable to understand the
view point of his countrymen in gen
eral which is that proper military
and naval safeguards are the best as
surance of peace. We wish to be
strong, that our tolerance, our fair
mindedness, our respect for the rights
of other nations, may not be regarded
aa a confession of weakness. We also
wish to be strong that no other nation
may be persuaded to Impose unjust
demands upon us In the knowledge
that we . are unable to defend our
selves. To be prepared for war doesn't
mean that we will be seeking a pre
text for war, any more than it means
that the big, strong, well-developed
man Is always looking for a fight-
Generally he is amiable and even
tempered, and will seldom use his
fists unless attacked. The better
armed we are the bUr we will be
able In future years to bring about an
agreement among the nations looking

The Oregon Journal announces that
next Monday K will begin the puMU-a
tloa of a mldnlght-mornlng rural
route and out-of-town edition. This
will ba seat to alt parts of the Oregon
rountry on midnight and early morn
las' train, giving all the news of the
previous It hours. ..'
The Journal haa added a leased
night wire to Ita facilities, which el
ready Included two leaaed day wlrea.
Tha Journal haa been carrying the
news of three press associations, and
thla additional night service will ea
hance Ita commanding newa poaltlon.
It Is really remarkable how tl e
Oregon Journal has grown. Estab
lish., In ltl by C. a Jackson, who
prior to going to Portland had
brought tha Kast Oregonlan to the
front In Eastern Oregon, It Is now from
every standpoint' the leading after-
noon dally of the Pacific Northwest.
The news field of the world ia raked
and combed for Ita columns, and It also
excels in local and editorial Held.
Front time to time ft haa annexed to
Ita staff the best aew.peper talent of
Oregon, and Ita chief editorial writer,
Frank Irvine, haa a concise and point
ed style that always lends Interest and
value to Ita editorial page, C. H.
Chapman, a scholarly and - able
writer, and Rex Lampman. a brilliant
young humorist, are among the I
cent additlona to Its force. Both were
formerly with tha Oregonlan.
C. 8. Jackson la a newspaper build
ee who has scored one of the very few
signal triumphs In Journalism wit
nessed In the Northwest during the
past twenty yeara He Is the only
man who haa ever been able to chal
lenge the powerful Oregonlan In Its
own field aad win. Many times before
hla advent had the feat been attempt
ed. Never before waa It euccessful.
Mr. Jackson, however. Is naturally a
great executive, aad would have been
equally as successful as a merchant
prince, a railroad magnate or a op-
tain of Industry, pondering hla ca
reer. The Leader man Is nevertheless
Impelled to reflect that Mr. Jackson
(our formsr boss) hss never run a O.
Wash., nor set a stickful of type. A
mighty man la he, but we couldn't use
him on the Weston Leader.

view with Mr. Men Walden which you
nublLhed la the leader. As Mr be-j

I am, I know one thing, however, I
waa bora Beplember the Mth. lilt,

aa born in Umatilla county. It
makes me a native eltlsen of thla coun
ty, . A Umatilla Indian, you kaow, Is
a nstlve of the county, and 1 stand as
one with the noble red man.
We emigrated to Lane county, Ore
gon, at lived there until I wss II
years old. la the year HIT we came
back to good old Umatilla county aad
bought a place on ivy creek, and I
have lived there ever alnee, I have
tried to swell the population of Uma
tilla county by raising a family of
elevea children, six sons and five
daughtera, all of whom have growa
to manhood and womanhood. And I
ran say with some degree of pride that
all were bora In the same house on
the old homeetead where I now reside
on Dry creek.
There are lota of good In Inge about
Umatilla county. One good feature la
that It rontalna some of the finest
widow women of any county In the
tat: and although the widows de
not concern me, 1 am proud of them as
Umatilla county asset.
Now aa to my pioneer friend. Me,
Walden. I do not think he should be
