THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
The nomination of William Jennings Prya:i for president by the Dem
ocratic national convention at Denver lait week, was expected, just a
was Taft's nomination by tin Repu' lieius. The Dsnver convention dif
fered in this respect from tb.3 S-itLerlng at Chicago. There were fev
er elements hostile to the nominee, and the personal following of Erya:i
was not. oaly more numerous but more enthusiastic than the frisnds ol
Tuft. This is not premised from the degree of noise made by the shout
ing nor the respective lengths of the ovation when the name of the can
didal was mentioned. The "heart cf things" was revealed in the entire
absence of "kicks" or "complaints" from leaders in hotel lobbies commit
tee rooms and other places where the big men congregated betwejn se
sions. This in spite of the fact that a hundred reporters were listening
intently for hostile remarks. It was vastly different at Chicago.
This acceptance of Bryan by all factions and leaders of ths Demo
cratic party, marks the change in him from the Bryan of 189tJ and ISO
Bryan has' grown. He Is no longer the man of one idea, and he alsc
knows now that all truth is not ledged in one skull. In 1SD0 he act
ed as if . Iho destiny of mankind hinged on free silver. In 1900, free
silver took a back seat and imperialism was the curse that threatened tc
cut us off in the very flower of our youth. In 1908, there Is no "para
mount issue." He Is content to stand for progress in all lilies and Is
willing to believe that other great Democrats can differ from him on de
tails and si ill have the same honesty of purpose that he has.
In 1S9C, Bryan was sometimes called the Black Eagle of the Platte
John M. Thurston, an eloquent Omr,ha lawyer who did ye3tna:i service
for McKinley, used to refer to that and said the title was. appropriate, as
the Platte river was two thousand miles long, two miles wide and twe
Jnches deep. The simile does not fit today, for the course of Bryan dur
ing the hist 12 years has worn a deep channel and no man in public life
is deeper and wider In his political belief and expression.
John Worth Kern of Indiana, the nominee for vice president, at least
does not weaken the ticket, as Sherman does the Republican ticket
Without meaning a pun, it can be said that from all accounts he Is a
worthy man.
Unlike the selection at Chicago also, the nomination of Kem was
good politics. The Democrats have little or no chance to win a sta'e
east of Ohio. Now England solid. New York, New Jersey, and Pemsyl
vania were and are practically sure for Taft by big majorities. Ohio
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mlnneso a and and all the West is the debat
ablo ground. Indiana was already dcubtful, so the best political forecast
era say, and the Insult to Fairbanks when Governor Hanley placed the
vico president in nomination, the attitude of Fairbanks' friends, and fi
nally the nomination of Kern, whom the people of the whole state re
gardless of politics, respect and admire, takes Indiana out of the doubt
ful column und makes It as sure for Bryan as New York Is for Taft.
Bryan and Kern have a far better show of being elected than any
Democratic nominees since 1892.
THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.
A Portland Commercial club let er says "Good Roads" has become
In recent months the subject of almost every conversation when a group
of citizens get together. There has beon a demand from every section
of the state for tho club to call a representative meeting to discuss r
practical plan whereby ail Oregon mey have better highways. As a re
sult It has been determined to hold an "Orego.n Good Roads Conference'
In tho convention hall of the Portland Commercial club, Tuesday, An
gust 11, with morning, afternoon and evening sessions. All railroads have
made a rate of a fare and a third for the meeting. The basis of repre
sentatlon will bo announced within a few days, but all commercial and
Industrial bodies, county judges, county commissioners, editors aud may
ors will bo authorized to appoint delegates and urged to have a good rep
resentation present.
Wallowa county is as much Interested in good roads as any cointy
In the state. Before the railroad was a certainty, the subject was not ol
vital Importance, or rather the task and cost of making good roads was
greater than the seeming benefit. But with railroad connection to grain
and produce markets, the situation changes. It becomes a matter o.
economical Importance that fanners can haul large loads to Enterprise
Joseph, I.ostlno and Wallowa.
Wallowa county has her own peiullar grade problems, but i:i the mat
ter of hard surfacing our needs are the same as in all communities, with
this difference thore is an abundance of excellent surfacing materia
convenient to all highways free for the taking.
Tho first cost of stone roads is high under the most favoring coiuli
Hons, therefore their construction w.ll be slow. There are many miles of
roads in Wallowa county that could bo greatly improved bv the cheat
but wonderfully efficient log drag. This simple device is" making a
marvelous ch uige in roads' wherever it Is used. Every landowner own.
a drag, which can be home made, costing but a few dollars, and drags
the road along his farm. Ruts disappear at once and roads that former
ly were Impassable iu the spring become after a year or two s dragging
real highways the year round.
It would not be a bad idea for the road powers that-bc in this county
to investigate the cheap but efficient split log drag.
PLUMS FOR THE DOUBTFUL STATES.
History repents Itself. In 1880 and 190S the Democratic vice pre
dentlal nominee was from Indiana and the Republican from New York
In 1880 the Republican nominee for vice president was from Ohio as it
