Partisanship.
"It is interesting to find in the
Albany Democrat a fervent appeal
for non-partisanship in the elec
tion of county and city officers
and a general commendation of
the improved spirit of comity be
tween the parties on general is
sues. Yet at the same time it is
noticeable that the Democrat up
holds the governor in his foolish
controversy with the legislature
over Ill's vetoes. What for Par
tisanship', certainly." Oregonian.
Strange as it miiy seem, the Or
egonian, the most uncompromis
ing partisan journal in the stale,
is the first to accuse the Democrat
of extreme partisanship.
Willi the Oregonian, party reg
ularity is llie noblest of virtues.
It is the first commandment and
the oilier 'nine are of minor im
portance. The call of the party
cnieis is law, anil woe be unto him
that declines to answer the sum
mons.
It was lack of party loyalty that
brought down mum 1 lie head of
the now extinct Colonel Koose-
vell, the wralh of the Oregonian
editor. It was fack of parly fealty
that subjected Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., to the same burning criticism.
An opi'H relusal to submit to the
parly collar has cost more than
one candidate the support of the
same publication and the editor
ial whip has been cracked so fre
quently over the heads of the
Oregon republicans that the Ore
gonian has come lo be regarded
as the official mouthpiece of or
ganized republicanism on the l'a-
cilic coast.
Slill that which the Orcironian
regards as a republican virtue is
pictured as a democratic vice. The
Democrat suggests that the word
consistency be framed anil niac
.1
in a conspicuous place in the
editorial
rooms of the Portland
dailv.
The Democrat is supporting
West because we believe that lie
is right. We are supporting him
because he is attempting to se
cure the passage of some con
structive legislation. W e are up
holding his hands because we are
firmly ol the opinion that the op
position In the majority of the
bills which have the approval ol
the governor, is founded in narrow
nii'iided partisanship, and a desire
to make political capital at the ex
pense of the laxpavers of the
slate.
Putting the Governor in a Hole.
The legislators, or more espe
cially a cliipie in control of the
slate senate, seems more interest
ed in putting the governor "in a
hole" over his vetoes than in any
thing else before the present ses
sion. Most of these members bc
long to the old Oregon stand-pat
political ring. They cannot real
ize that the people of the state
have repudiated them time ami
again ; that they have elected
democratic Mate governors and
senators more tor the tnuuose of
putting the present politicians out
of liu-iiic- than aMVthing else.
I he republic. in machine built up
under the .Mitchell-l-'ullon re
gime has been responsible for the
disasters which h.ive overtaken
the party, beginning v,ith the first
.election . ( lovcrnor

lure, cannot or do not want to
comprehend the truth. They still
persist in playing politics instead
ol rendering service to the people
who elected them.
It is not that Governor West
has been always wise fci his ve
toes. Like other men he may
make mistakes of judgment, and
some of his vetoes might be over
riden without injury to the state's
best interests. If right he should
be sustained, if wrong overruled
by the legislature; but this action
should not be taken as a matter of
spite or pimie. The state's wel
fare should be considered before
that of any party or any public
man. Members of the legislature
are not primarily sent to Salem to
play politics. There is much real
work to be done i'n the enactment
of needed laws and the defeat of
proposed measures that are not
meritorious. To do his work well
each member must be alert and
active, and his best reward should
be the consciousness of having
served his constituents well and
faithfully.
An organized gang of legisla
tors sending out the word to their
henchmen over the state that they
have things "framed up" to defeat
the governor, "right or wrong," is
a disgrace to Oregon. It only
means disrespect for the legisla
ture and a broadening of the scope
of the very "Oregon system"
which this same machine seeks to
destroy. Eugene Guard.
SENATE PUIS HOME RULE
ISSUE TO PEOPLE AGAIN
Salem, Or., Jan. 30. Dy the aid of
the votes t Senators Dimick of
Clackamas and Mollis of Washington,
advocates of the resolution submitting
the 1101111? rule liquor amendment to
vote of the people in 1914 won their
fight in the- senate yesterday after
noon. If the house acts in the Same
way, the question will be ordered on
the ballot for retrial of the case, with
women as well as men composing the
jury.
t'lrst it was necessarv to have an
adverse vote of the dav before re
versed. In that connection a group of
"compromisers," including Thompson
of Lake and Mosier of Multnomah,
sought to gather strength for a plan
that would include amendment of the
local option law in the agreement.
Und.T this plan the home rule amend
ment was to be reconsidered, then re
ferred to the committee ami allowed
to rest lliere until tile local option
law amendment had gone through the
formation 'pfoccsa. liolh ideas were
then to be brought out and passed.
Uriefly, the local option law idea was
to make the precinct and the county
the units, and to do away with the
present authority for joining contig
uous precincts in a local o'piion elec
tion. The compromise idea went to smash
because it wa sunt very satisfactory to
either side. When Thompson and
Mosier sprung the million to refer, it
received only eight votes, with 21
noes, and President Malarkey not vot
ing. After much whispering and con
ferring it was understood that Thomp
son was to make the million to re
consider. Hut Malarkey, who had cast
the deciding vote against the resolu
tion the day before, beat him lo the
post. A call of the house was or
dered and the absentees brought in.
Joseph was the last one to come.
Holhs, w ho had been absent the day
previous, disappointed those who
thought lie would vote to take up the
question, by voting ho; but Dimick.
I hompsou and .Malarkey furnished
the needed votes and the motion was
won, IK to 12.
On the final vole there were onlv
slight changes. Mollis voted for the
resolution and Dimick switched over.
This gave 17 lo .ill, the following vot
ing aye: Itean, Calkins, Dav. Dimick.
Carroll, llawloy, Mollis, Hoskins, Jos
eph, Kiddle, l.ostor, McColloch, Mil
ler. Nouncr. Ragsdalc, Smith of Coos
anil Stewart. All others voted no.
President Malarkey. explaining his
vote, said he had not changed his
mind, and had moved lo reconsider
out of courtesy to Senator Mollis, who
had been absent because Malarkev had
lersonally requested him to go to
Portland to confer on the ':in,'.;m.r
luidgc quesliKii. Me said he consid
ered 11 a lud precedent lo vote lo re
submit !o the people a law n:isse,l
under the initiative, which the people
themselves can change if they desire
by initiative action.
Dlltlick, CXIlklillillc hit eh:iinr, of
front, said he would vote to resubmit
because the question is to go' on the
ballot anyway, and he thought the
legislature may as well save the ad
vocates of repeal the expense of cir
culating petitions.
Thompson also explained his vote.
He said he hail expected to vole I'm
resubmission, but had also exiie.te.l
that something would lie done to' pre
vent Ihe geirvnianderine of a w.-t nr...
cinct with dry precincts, and llietebv
i nto it ill y. As he saw no hope lor
unending lite option law on these
IIICS. he did not consider liinis.tt

as did the small shelter tent ' which
had been pitched in another corner.
Twenty or thirty rifles used by the
guardsmen were neatly arranged
along the balcony and between each
was a small American flag.

OREGON'S OLDEST
PIONEER IS DEAO
Captain James Blakely Died at
Home in Brownsville Last
x Night at 6:45.
DECEASED CELEBRATED HIS
100TH BIRTHDAY IN NOV.
Was One of Founders of City
of Brownsville and Pioneer
of Year 1846.
After rounding out more than a cen
tury of life of achievement and use
fulness, during which he accomplished
many deeds : that distinguished him
from his fellow,, men, Captain James
Blakely, Oregon's oldest pioneer citi
zen and one of the founders of the
city of Brownsville, passed away at
6:45 o'clock last evening at his home
in that city, at the age of 100 years,
2 months, and 3 days.
The death of Captain Blakely came
after an illness of several months dur
ing wdiich he had been gradually sink
ing. He passed away quietly and
peacefully, surrounded by his children
who had been summoned to the fam
ily home. The funeral arrangements
will probably be completed today.
. Captain Blakely was born in Lynes
county, Tennessee, on November 26th,
1812, and received his early education
in that state. He moved with ' his
family to Missouri in 1S38 where he
resided until April 4th. 1S46, when he
started for Oregon. He arrived at the
place which is now Brownsville on
October 9, 1846. With his uncle Hugh
L. Brown, after whom Brownsville
was later named, he took up a dona
tion land claim and started Browns
ville in 1855 and with his uncle be
came a member of one of the leading
mercantile establishments of that sec
tion. .
To Captain Blakely fell honors in
war, as in statesmanship and local
affairs. He assisted iu .organizing
Company E, Oregon Volunteers, in
March, 1856, and was elected captain.
He organized his neighbors later for
a three months' war with the. Rogue
River Indians and returned home July
4 with the "Declaration of Independ
ence from Indian Troubles."
As a member from Linn county to
the Oregon legislature during the ses
sion in which Senator Miller was
elected to the United States senate
the first time, Captain Blakely dis
tinguished himself. He had been a
lifelong Democrat and was alwavs ac
tive in state affairs and in local un
detakings. He had been a member of
the First Presbyterian church of
Brownsville since its organization.
There are many events in the life of
this grand old man any one of which
would distinguish him among his fellow-men.
Taken collectively thcy
form a remarkable galaxv of achieve
ment and considered with his longev
ity they give him honored place
among Oregon's most notable citi
zens. He is an Oregon pioneer of 1846.
He served with honor at the head of a
company in Oregon's Indian wars.
He founded a city and lived to sec it
becoming a growing, prosnerous trad
ing center. He was one of the pio
neer merchants of the Willamette
Valley. He and many of his sons
have been honored bv their fellow
citizens in various parts of Oregon
with important official positions.
It is given to few men to reach the
age of 100 years. And yet more rare
is an instance when one who reaches
this remarkable age has a life so full
of achievement and honor in the his
tory and development of his com
munity as has Captain Blakely. His
record is perhaps without a parallel.
Ten children were born to the mar
riage with Mrs. Sarah Dick in Ten
nessee in 1S3J. They are: Mrs. Ellen
Montgomery. Crook county; Mrs.
Catherine Lewis. Portland; Mrs. Mar
garet Smith. Parrot, Mont.; J M
Blakely, Joseph, Or.; George C. Blak
'he Dalles; J. A. and William
Blakely. of Pendleton: Mrs. Harriett
Cooley Mrs. Sarah McFarland and
Henry Blakely. of Brownsville.
At the celebration November 26 of
his 100th birthday the five genera
tions present included Captain Blak
ely, Ins daughter, Mrs. Catherine Lew
is, of Portland; her son. Minor Lewis;
his daughter. Mrs. Mason Witten
berg, and her baby daughter, Alice.
At this dinner sugar tongs which
have been in the family 75 years were
used and a monster birthday cake,
holding 100 lighted candles, "was on
n'.e. ''V'1 l"p to his dca,h Captain
Blakely s brain was active and he took
an enthusiastic interest in current
events.
The splendid birthday dinner on
November 26th was attended by eight
of his nine living children. 11 grand
children. 13 great-grandchildren, two
great-great-grandchildren and many
other relatives and friends. The two
children of the fifth generation who
were present at the dinner, a feature
ol which was a massive cake with 100
burning candles, were Edward Graves,
five years old. of Olympia. Wash., and
Mary Alice Wittenberg. 1 vear old
