Several yean ago some bright Spo
kane man coined the phrase "Inland
Empire," and thereupon the ambitions
town became the bub. The designa
tion, says the Walla Walla Union,
was so mnoh of a nioety that it was
appropriated and in your travels today
yon will reaob the extreme southeast
ern part of Oregon before the talk of
the greatness of the Inland Empire
begins to taper off. But Spokane seems
to have tired of the nomenoalatare,
and its advertising now dwells upon
the "Spokaue Country," tut this does
not make a hit with the rest of the
country, and it will continue to wear
the blanket title, "Inland Empire."
The flokleness of public opinion is
btrikiugly illustrated in the case of
District Attorney Jerome of New
York. Two years ago he was a verit
able idol of the people in his city, and
was landed as an honest, upright and
energetic obamplon of right and foe
to all forms of lawlessness. Today be
is under a oloud, and host of bis former
admirers are as vigorous in oritioism
as they formerly were in praise. He
may yet dear himself of the charges
' of negligence in the proseoution of
criminal oases, but it seems improbable
be will ever reoover his old popularity.
A vast area of Klamath, Harney,
Lake and Malheur counties, compris
ing some three hundred thousand acres,
is to be opened for settlement. Muuh
capital is behind the enterprise and
this project must of necessity attraot
enormons atteution to that great por
tion of Oregon, whioh only needs im
proved transportation facilities to
make it one of the most prodnotive
and popular seotions of the Northwest,
and the rapid settlement of these lands
will foroe the building of the trans
portation linos.

To whioh may be added, "without
rubbing it in," that it didn't require

TOLD THE TRUTH.
The Oregouian is right in saying,
"Every other principle of politics is
now superseded by Statement No. 1.
It may, or may not, have spoken tbe
words ironically, but it told tbe truth.
Tbe sensible way to settle great ques
tions is to take them one at a time.
The attempt to determine a dozen of
them at once makes confusion, and
confusion is always tbe means by
which tbe people are humbugged, and
"the interests" and the politicians
given their way. We have been trying
to solve tbe tariff for a century, and
are farther from a solutiou than when
we began. Tbe railroad problems, the
trust problems, pnblio land problems
and tbe other multiplied questions of
pubJio eoouomios are beyond tbe pale
of immeditate and definite settlement.
Not so with tbe prinoiple of direot
ohoioe of senator in Oregon. It can
be, and is in tbe very process of being
settled for all time, if the electorate so
desires. For 30 years or more the
people have clamored for it, demanded
it, ploaded for it. It was as hopeless
of settlement as the rest of tbe great
issues, until tbe Repubhoan party of
Oregon evolved Statement No. 1, and
by a great uprising of tbe masses
swopt it into use by a flood of nearly
57,000 ballots. Tbey rolled up for it a
great majority of more than 39,000
votes. It lis a Republioan measure,
voted into tbe statutes by Republican
ballots, and its utility was demonstrat
ed in a Republican legislature, when
two United States senators wore elec
ted within a few minutes.
The uprising was a Republioan rev
olution against tbe scenes of riot and
rebellion at Salem that had mougbt
ruin on tlio party aud shame to the
state, and in which as Seuiitor Fulton
says, "Men of tbe highest character
did things they regretted ever after."
This is why, in the late primaries,
where.ver -Starlraent No. 1 was on
trial, it swept everything before it,
and why, as tbe Oregonian says,
"Every other prinoiple in politios is
now superseded by Statement No. 1."
It is a paramount issue beoause tbe
people realize that it can be definitely
settled now, that by settling3.it now
tbey can save their right to choose
sonator, and that if tbey neglect to
settle it now tbe advantage is all with
them, they will lose their rights and
the old regime of riot aud rottenness
at Salem will be restored. Tbey
should, aud doubtless will, push it as
pressing issue in the June eleotiou,
press it as a paramount issue in the
next legislature, settling it finally and
definitely, aud unalterably, regardless
of other issues, now that tbe means of
settlement is actually in their bauds.
It is the more vitalized and emphasized
as a preseut pressing issue by tbe
vauillatiug attitude of Mr. Cake ou
the sntjoot Portland Journal.
THE RISING TIDE.
The moving finger is still writing
upou the vtll, aud the kings heed not
its warning. Iu every country of tbe
world men holding one faith are serv
ing it unselfishly with diligence and
ounning. And here, where their work
is most pregnant and threatening, we
ignore it most confidently, and never
try to understand it in tbe least. Tbe
fathers of our oountry wrote tbe con
stitution, and saw that it was good,
aud we have arohived it somewhere in
a safe at Washington and gone on our
way as though the Art of Self Gov
ernment was an inherited instinct with
tbe native born and a thing that tbe
immigrant oaught bysome mystery of
iufeotion. There is one republioan in
a hundred who can tell you what re
publicanism means and stands for as
a form of government. Sinoe the
glamor of Mr. Bryan enveloped tbe
democratic party not even the Peer lees
One himself has been able to expound
its philosophy. The inclination to
"take it for granted" is supreme. And
the crime of optimism is blinding us
to the development of a greater "race
problem" than ever the south grappled
with. But there is one other party
that is sileutly garnering fruits of our
indiSerenoe, and one day we will wake
up to And that Socialism in Amerioa
has bourgeoned from an aspiration to
a reality. Every day, every week,
every year, its apostles are carrying on
their "campaign of education," and
with eaoh year the recruits are grow
ing by battalions; while the republioan
and tbe democrats contest elections,
seek offices and adopt "platforms,"
and accept it as a kind of inevitable
faot that men join their parties by the
foroe of heredity. And the eager So
cialist, with his perfected creed and
his alluring philosophy, takes nothing
for granted but tbe need of work and
education. Denver Post.
