Perhaps there wu never a presi dential election fraught with more mpirtant Itisoei than the present cam- Hiun. Oor government stands before th world ai the greatest exhibition of all those things which make for the I eople the best gnvenuieiie on earth. T- e world respects oor nation not be emseof its wealth, not because of it millions of inhabitants, but for the rsain that its affairs are comlncted lung the broad linns which testify to ill desire for the greatest good to the pr stent number, and it most ;be gen- rally reoognlzed that it is the republi can party which made the United r tales a world power. We can not af ford therefore to permit any experi ment snnh is advocated by William Jennings Bryan and consequently lie must be defeated at the polls on No Yeuiber 8(1. The people of Oregon are parti cularly Interested in the election, for t iis crowing state has nothing to gain nod all to lose In case Bryan should be elected. It is of the utmost Impor. tmoe that the Industrial growth of the ooontry keep on bot Bryan's election woold effectually put a stop lo it His free silver, anti-lmper-iallnin government ownership theories of dan gone by weie no worse than his latest vagary of guaranteed bank rieposlta.If he were deliberately plan ning to precipitate a panio he coold lava fnrninlated no surer plan to ac complish it thau tlirough this scheme r matins the strong, conservative ' nd honestly conducted banks suffer for fie lal and dishonest methods cf the weak ones. If a change in the bank inn methods of the country is desired, i lie safest way Is that offered by the i-publican party, the Postal Savings Hank, with the government uot only i bind it but as its manager. Bryan Is a mighty talker, bot talk- i g ii his chief asset and In fact he h is done nothing else but talk and i n for president for lo, tin so many j "r. With the election of William II, Tuft to the presidency, the policies hlrh have built up this great nation w II lie continued and tho progress v hich has been so marled will go on.

About bit per cent or mis, minu yoa, will be for labor, and the bal ance fur material which Is almost en tirely labor. Almost every dollar of it will go into circulation, back to the workinguian, the farmer, the manu factorer, the merchant. "It is a soothing picture, isn't it? Bot to do it the railroads most be allowed to run their business as any other business is run. They are the second biggest interest in the country. They purchase 25 per cent of every thing that is purchased. They employ one way or another a very large pro portion of the working male popula tion : then tell me why every man in the country, whether he be merchant, farmer, manufacturer or workman, annot tee that all prosperity, from the gronnd up, is knit insoluably with the prosperity and proper maintenance and upbuilding of the railroads? Why me they all led like sheep by a lot of politicians who will sell them out at the drop of the hat? American rail roads serve the people better and cheaper than any other in the world, nevertheless they have been pilloried as criminals, andthe American people, whose mainstay they aie, have stood by and applauded. It ii the greatest absurdity in history." Pathfinder. TH E HOBSON MANIA. The Portland Journal, which is vigorously supporting Bryan for the presidency, does not altogether agree with Hobson, who la also working for Bryan's election, or at east did not before the campaign opened. From their issue of July 10th, we qoote the following to all of which we say amen : "Representative Hobson is no doubt a sincere patriot, but be has gone fairly daft over the proposition that we will and must and shall have a great war soon with Japan, and that unlets we increase our (navy very greatlyand rapidly we will be most thoroughly and iguominiously whip ped. Mr. Hobson 's point of view is that of a naval officer, whioh he was for years and the importance of which position he magnifies. Of course there most be war to justify the exist ence of a great navy and a great many naval officers. Unless a war can be scared up once in awhile, their occu pation would dwindle in importance and interest. We need a great navy because we are to bave a great war, is Hobtoo's way of patting it, bat what is really in the mind of him is the need of a big war so aa to justify and exploit a great navy. Japan Is in no condition to go to war, even with third rate power, nor will be for years to come, for lack of money. Her resources are limited and her power of borrowing is about ex hausted. For a score of years, at least, Japan will have her hands full with Korea, and Manchuria, and will have to keep her eyes on Russia and China. Japan would oo more afford to go to war with the United States than Hol land could with Germany. Besides there is and will uot be anv occasion for war. Japan had to tight Russia for her very physical existence ; but she isn't going to war with any great nation on any slight pretexts. Hob- on has a mania, aud the expression of it is becoming tiresome. Col. Sidney Tapp of Georgia has been nominated for the presidency by the new Liberal Party, jnst in time to lie numbered amoiix the also ran" class. Just think of it, a breakfast food company has failed. "r.gg-o-See" failed to take as well as it might and a receiver has been apiminted, With Taft lu the White House the great U. S. A. will continue in the front ranks of industrial progiesssion. Election of Taft would he reassur ing to all investors in American un dertakings at home or abroad. Would election of Bryan? NI'WMAN M. !'.
