PROGRESSIVE PRINCIPLES HAVE
WON.
Do not let any member of the pro
gressive party think for a luoinen'
that the principles advocated have
Buffered defeat. Corruption In the
republican convention at Chlciii-o
was reHfionsiMe for the birth of the
new polltlral organization. It was
not for the benefit of any particular
set of men thin party was born, but
It was the vox popull tho crying
aloud to right tho wrong Buffered by
the rank and file of the time-honored
republican party, which for half n
century had stood for honesty, good
government, patriotism and the
rights of men. They had at. last come
face to face with corruption In such a
form as made It Impossible to fur
ther follow the lead of those who
had by base, political methods got
ten control of the party.
Let us not annoy ourselves with
whnt Is to be done In the future. In
thought and deed, we are republi
cans still and it is a stent comfort
-to realize that corruption has re
ceived a proper rebuke. If Mr. Wil
son and tho men that will nd with
him will perform their sworn duty,
the country will be safe. The new
president has the best wishes of the
people of every stale In tho union
and the futuro looks bright as the
dawn of a kIoiIoiih day. Let us hope
therefore that, regardless of patty,
wo Khali all stand together fur that
kind of government which our fath
ers established.
same time and place nejtt Tuesday
met with unanimous approval, an 1
permanent organization will be ef
fected at that time.
As trade Is the life of a commun
ity so the highways are the arteries
that carry this life blood to the bus
iness heart, flood roads are abso
lutely necessary to the prosperity
and to the future development of
Grants Pass and of the entire Rogue
valley, and the subject is the all-Important
on.
..LONGER PRESIDENTIAL TERM...
The sentiment in favor of a long
er and a single term for the presi
dent of the 1'nltecl States comes up
stronger wit beach recurring four
year election. Four years is not
long enough period for an adminis
tration to demonstrate the effective
ness of Its policies, neither Is It
long enough for business Interests to
adjust themselves to a change ot
conditions that follow different gov
ernmental Ideas on tariff and other
essentials of national life. This
leaves business In a constant fer
ment, uncertain, unable to mini out
a definite system, and makes too
great tho danger that the administra
tion may trim Its own sails rather
than adjust the canvas of the sh'p of
Btitto. Alwnys that idea of the ' "cr
oud term" is before the four-year
Incumbent, and bis ow n political
fortunes may blind him to the bkcer
thints, the things for which he was
electei
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY AND IUS
INESS. There is little tear thai deinociat-
ie victory will distuii) busine-s con
ditions as it did with the election o;
iiiover Cleveland. Then the tariff
ideas nuto moro radical, and the
monetary system w;is on a more 'in
stable basis. The parties are in-aier
together on the.-e essentials of the
political life, than they were then,
and there is not the danger of dis
turbing changes. Wilson has t!)e ex
periences of the country under the
previous democratic administrations
to guide him, and the people are less
fearful of results. The danger to
business stability was not through
the fact that a democrat was to oc
cupy the presidential (hair, but be
cause the shifting of the principles
of government wou'd have a disquiet
ing effect.
The Wall Street Journal, which
publication reflects sentiment in the
financial center, says:
"The consensus of opinion In bus
iness circles Is that the elet ton of
Woodrow Wilson will not check the
upward trend of business. One of
his efforts while in office would b"
to effect a re-adjustment of the tar
iff, but It is believed he will not go
about it in suc h a way as to destroy
confidence."

1TY. Now that the democratic party has
won the election they will have an
opportunity to make good the thous
and and one pledges they have given
to the American people. They have
admitted that tho government has
been conducted in a manner to be
highly commended and that present
conditions are all that could be de
sired. Senator T. I', (lore, chairman
of the democratic organization bu
reau, speaking on this point, a few-
days ago said: "Business was nev
er better, notwithstanding we are
just on the eve of an election," and
he goes on to say that prosperity
will not be disturbed. The demo
cratic house will be patriotic enough
to allow prosperity to take Its course,
the Wilson administration will re
flect c redit upon the democratic par
ty and Insure It an eight year admin
istration. All the people tare for is
good government and prosperity.

LAW.
The liquor selling business is
recognized as an out-la wed industry
suffered to endure only when hedged
about with the most restrictive reg
ulations and subject to high license.
The payment of this license fee Is in
a measure a forfeit which the would
be dealer posts as a guaranty that he
will abide by the restrictions and
regulations imposed, and the higher
the license the greater the assur
ance that the best class of men who
engage in the business will be found
here. With a low license the num
ber of places Is multiplied, the strife
for existence is greater, and the vio
lation of the laws on every possible
pretext by some of them results. The
up-right, law-abiding saloon-keeper
Is handicapped In the city where a
low license fee attracts the rabble of
the trade.
Grants Pass having by a liberal
majority concluded that It will re
turn to the license system, the ile
tails adopted become the question of
interest. That tho fee be large
should be agreed by all who are not
blinded by prejudice. That the re
strictions should be such as will pro
tect the public from the worst influ
ences of the business Is good policy
from the saloon man's point of view
and an absolute demand upon the
part of the public. That the saloon
man Is entitled to what he pays fo
Is recognized, and a great deal of 'h
agitation against him has developed
because too many of theni though
they were paying a license fee f-v
Immunity from the law.
With the enactment of an ordi
nance that acknowledges the right?
of the public and that is ut the same
time fair to the saloon man. much
the strife between the public ami th
iud'i-'t". will be ciuieted. A liinitc
