!NO TIME TO EXPERIMENT.
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.

mwi thrpendingnfXl, 100. 000, 000 a
year. 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?
