WHY PARTY LOYALTY LAGS
- A favorite argument against the di
rect primary is tho assertion thut It
breaks down party lines. It Is un
deniably true that party -lines are
breaking, but it is extremely doubtful
if the direct primary is the causedor
at least the principal cause. It is
much more probable that party alle
giance is weakening because of the
lack of party issues upon which opin
ion is sharply divided. ,
For several generations ' the Civil
War, while not the outward or surface
Issue, was the fundamental issue di
viding the two major American par
ties. In that great struggle the North
was overwhelmingly Republican,
while the South was solidly Demo
cratic and - this condition was pro
jected, naturally. nough, into politics.
Civil 'wars have; always stirred bitter
feelings; 'and- ouiU'own Vas hp excep-
uon.io, toe genera nie. v pr ccbuko

passed down from J w a heritage kept

cool. r; The -Repucah'-;pai :ooi
firmly for a tariff for the protection of
American industries, while the Demo.
ciaUcpaj-tyXpleratetj a tariff ..of any
sort for purpose ot revenue only and
decried its protective features. , Since
the United States in those days was a
self-sufficient nation, the tariff was
an important element in prosperity
and served to keep the voters aligned
strongly in two opposing camps.
Bryan's free silver issue served the
same purpose in the ' campaign . of
1896, but did not last long.
But these ancient lines of cleavage
have been largely erased. The sec-
tionat feeling growing out of the Civil
War is dead and (he nation Is truly
united. Here and there a- slumbering
ember bursts into a fieeblo flame, as
when the Confederate '..veterans
charged a few weeks ago that Lin
coln was solely responsible for the war,
but the Illumination is but momentary
and is succeeded by the gray ashes of
forgetfulness. War is a fecund-breeder
of prejudice and factionalism but,
curiously enough, it has also the fac
ulty of cementing together peoples
whom previously It had sundered. So
many of the sons of the men who
wore the gray lie side by side beneath
the poppies of Flanders with the sons
of those who wore the blue that never
again can the Civil War be a dividing
factor In American politics.
' And so it is, in a measure, with the
tariff Issue. ' Tho Republican party
is stilt the party of protection, but the
Democratic party has cast off tho
policy of free trade. The tariff, not
only in this country, but throughout
(He world, has become an Instrument
for the furtherance of trade, even Eng
land making consistent use of It. Con.
dJttons have so changed In this coun
try that It Is no longer possible to in
sure prosperity by erecting a high
titflff wall around our borders. Tho
tariff policies of tho two major par-
t(ds differ merely in degree and not
In outright texture.
Politically, that Is party politically,
wo aro In the oolm that inter
venes between two storms. The Issues
about which party conflicts raged in
the past are dead, or at least in
condition of senile decay, while tho
conditions that will give rise to other
.party conflicts in tho future aro in the
period of Infancy. It is not impossible
to discern what theso Issues aro likely
to be; it Is unfortunately probable that
they will be social' issues rather than
the economlo Issues of the post we
say unfortunately because social Issues
breed antagonisms that are . lacking
whon the political Issues are chiefly
economic But these issues of the
future are not yet sufficiently, clari
fied to result in new party alignments,
while at the same time jne old Issues
have lost their power to hold tne
voters strictly In line. The result Is
party confusion.
Tho tendency of tho direct primary
la to Increase this confuslon'Jnstead
of decreasing it. The party conven-
ton Is oretty generally done away
with, save only in national campaigns,
and with the party convention
has
tmnn the nartv platform and
the
ability to enforce party discipline.
Hut even if we should revert overnight
to the old convention system of innk
inir nominations for public office It Is
Improbable that we should thereby re
vive militant party loyalty. That can
be accomplished only by issues upon
which opinion is sharply divided. ,
AIR ARMAMENT
It was remarked .frequently by in
telligent observers, during and after
the Washington arms conference, thai
the limitation of battleships was of
little importance except as a means
of cutting down useless expense, be
cause the fighting craft of the future
would bo airships.
The soundness of that view is shown
by recent developments. France, in
her'effort to keep her military estab
lishment the strongest Jn Europe, has
specialized on airplanes, and has more
than 200 squadrons maintained In
fighting trim. Great activity In air
craft Is reported from Japan. There
Is a demand in England thnt Great
Britain strengthen her air defense.
Tho United States is just embarking
upon a new building program that
emphasises big bombing planes and
light scouting planes, the latter for
naval auxiliaries and the former for,
shore defense. What Is happening in
Germany nobody knows exactly, but
the Germans are certainly not asleep.
All this is necessary under present
conditions. As long as any power
goes ahead building fighting aircraft,
the other powers must do the same.
So far the air competition is on a com
paratively small and infexpensivo
scale, but the tendency is to increase
the scope and cost of construction
rapidly, as was the case with' eaval
armament.
It was unfortunate that the Wash
ington conference, while doing such
excellent work in other directions.
was unable to do much about limita
tion of air warfare. Many will agree
now with Sir Philip Gibbs, the English
war critic, that It would be well- If
there-, wero .a world-wide propaganda
against the competition in- -aerial
armament and an International agree
ment to forbid tho worst abuses of air
fighting, -
IMMIGRATION STOPPED' '
Jnimlgnition In this country Js vir
tually at a standstill, and. seems des
tined to remain so for another yean -or
two, at least.
The riew Immigration bill, which
proposes to cut the quota of eligible
aliens from -three per cent to tvo per,
cent for each nationality on the basis
of the 1910 census, would reduce the
admissible total from 255,000 to 170,.
000.
Either of these numbers Is small,
compared with the influx customary
before the war. Ana both of them
are merely theoretical. The actual
net Immigration for the fiscal year
just ended Is believed to be not more
than 100.000, of whom all or nearly
all are women. Men come, but more
men depart than women.
If this is true, there may be a still
smaller residue of immigrants when
the new law goes Into effect. Its pas
sage seems likely, for nowhere in this
country is there perceptible any strong
disposition- to - relax the pressure
against aliens.
, i THE SENIORITY RULE
The. prospective disappearance , Of
various prominent members from the
senate and house next year serves as
a pointed and poignant reminder of
tho seniority rule.
There Is Imminent danger of stjme
of the most Important committee
chairmanships In both houses of eon
gress coming Into the hands of men
not approved by tho party organiza
tion, or by the public. . Whether the
political majority in congress changes
or not, after the coming election, there
will be enough changes of congres
sional personnel and committee com
position to make a considerable shake
up. And while some of the auto
matic changes may be for the better,
somo of them' undeniably will bo for
the worse.
There has been for years a popular
demand that congress should abolish
this automatic succession to the ctthjr
manshlp of the member of longest
service on the. committee, and appoint
chairmen for superior fitness rather
than for mere ability to hold onto
their jobs. This Is an opportune Umo
for such a reform. It might save the
political leaders much poaco oC.rand,
and It would be a popular movo for
either party. ,

not tell ner anything. Then I was
so busy I could not go to see her as
often as she came to see me.
"After she had practically stopped
writing me, she and my brother be
came quite good friends. Ho asked
her to visit us, nnd she accepted. Was,
it right for either of them to do this?
Now she writes me little letters that
don't amount to much, and always
tens me mac sne loves me, out 1 don t
like It and I don't believe her. Now,
since she does not care for what I do
and I don't care for what she does, do
you think It right for mo to continue
her friendship?
"I have another friend who. for two
years, was the finest kind of girl until
she began tov go with disreputable
boys She would not believe us when
wo told her what they wore. So l
left hor alone and she left me alone
but presently I think shei found out
her mistake. Sho came back to me.
Now I find I don't want her company
because ! nm trying to be n Christian
girl, and Bhe wants to do things that
I have to watch myself pretty close
to keep from doing. It seems its
though I nm trying to grow up to be
a citrintinp gin in nn unchristian
community. Now shall I keen on
with her or not? She wants to go
fishing on Sunday and I don't believe
In it, hut I don't like to keep her
from having her fun. It seems too
selfish of rnc. Yet it makes mo feel
as if I wero helping one other person
to do the rlsht thing.

llahh's father, both of whom had
come to the Willamette valley with
earlier emigrant trains, started bark
to tho states, traveling on horseback.
My the time they reached tho Itocklcs.
however, the signs of Indian activities
became so menacing that thvy decid

the t'ascadea they caught up With nn
emigrant irulu bound for the valley
and threw . In their fortunes .. with
them.
Tho food supplies of tho train wore

to tho. south of the old Oregon trail,
the usual route for ontoring the vnl
loy. Therefore it wn doJHdeid to
seek a short cut, l-Vom thn Central,
Oregon plains the Threo Sisters were
plainly visible, nnd wo.ro rncoKnlied
by Mr Tandy aa tho peaks lying dl-l
roctty cast of Kugen. so with a com-i
panlon ho started across tho range
to reach tho settlements hero nnd
send back food nnd guides. The trnln ;
Itself continued on toward IMamond
peak. !
Mr. Tandy and his companion sue-;
cessfutly crossed tho rango nnd
reached the rim rocks In the country
nround the head of the South Fork
of tho McKenxIc. They tried for
Homo tlmo to find a way whereby they
could bring their horses down the
rocks, but failed nnd finally cached
their saddles, turned their horses
loose and started on afoot.
Mennwhllo tho Ixtnt Train hnd
found the pass south of Diamond
peak, which now Is tho routo of the
Willamette highway and continued
wo.-u.wurn until tho Middle Fork of
tho WHIamcttn wnn reached. Thi.n
began tho tedious process of plrklntr
