IS THE PEACEFUL REVOLUTION NOW ON':
with n>en who will enact laws which will protect the interests
uf all the people.
There will be no attempt at confiscating the property of
the predatory rich, nevertheless their fortunes have been
accumulated in ways, scarcely lees than robbery of the
people. But the laws by which and through which they
secured their ill gotten gains, will be repealed and in the
end, the government will be divorced from Wall street.
Thia is ev idence that this peacable revolution is, even, now
on. The curtailing of Speaker Cannon's power and the
prosecution of "graft” criminals in various places, is evi­
dence that the day of a higher standard of eititenship and a
higher regard of purity and justice by our courts is dawn-
•ng.
It is ’he duty of every citisen to favor for office only men
of known integrity and who will, in every case, stand for the
execution of laws against the rich plutocratic male factor as
well as against tnr poorest and moo! obscure petty larceny
thief It la tlw duty of our court» to not permit unneces­
sary delays in the administration of justice, and to be even
more severe upon the ri 'h criminal than upon the poor man,
whose n. cessitw-s have often driven him to commit crime.
It is the duty of the citisen, irrespective of party, to sustain
the public official who dors his duty without fear or favor,
and condemn an official who la guilty uf omission of duty or
of mslfaesance while a public official.
The people and the people only can bring about a peaceful
revolution and the placing of the government upon a plane of
justice and rquality to all men.
The people must, also,
remember that the government ran aid will be of no higher
standard of honesty and purity than is the standard of
honesty an i purity among the pe«>p'e. In the same ratio in
which government la administered with justice and imparti­
ality, will patriotism be restored in the hearts of th«
people.

The initial meeting of what in hope I to become a l'ernia
nent Ofen River Association, was held in Albany last Thurs­
day afternoon and evening. The purpose of the association,
as the name indicates, is for the purpose of agitating an all-
the-year round open Wiliam« tie river from Portland south as
far as practicable, eventually to reach Eugene.
A« is wdl known, the Willamette is navigable forbut little
more than one half the year, when, if obstructive gravel
bars were removed and the water confine I to a narrower
channel, there is plenty of water for boating all the year
Owing to the preiwnt condition of the river, steamboat men
can scarcely maintain a boat service for one-half the year
am! tic their boats up or operate at a loss for the rest of the
year. For this reason steamboat owners care but little for
the up river run, nor can they afford to maintain a boat
•ervice sufficiently satisfactory to the p«>ople to draw a
freighting trad«. So far as a |>AMeng»r trafic is concerned.
It is a thing of the past. Business men, in these days of
I rapid business and rapid transit, cannot off ord to spend the
time require«! for a trip to Portland, when it can be made on
the railroad in less than one-half the time.
But as a freight regulator an all-the-year-round l<oat ser­
vice woul«) lie of immense value to the peoole of the
Willamette valley. Freight charges would not be more than
one-half what is now paid via the •*. P. But for the boats I
maintain themselves, they must h».Ve business an-! this
I
cannot be obtain«*-! if ths service is irregular. One of the
pressing an I leading features of the Open River Association
is the pressing upon congress the free locks at Oregon
City. Thia of itself would reduce freight rates 60 rents per
ton u|»>n all the Valley freights, for this sum is the lockage
charges ami ia a«idcd to freight carrie«! by the railroad as
well as that carried by boat. But the full value of free
locks would not be realise«! if the other oils true t Kins in the
river are not removed. Ueno, the importance of agitating
the improvement of the river to the head of navigation
which, when the water is at a reasonably high medium
stage, is now Eugene.
The Federal government spends money, in large quanti­
ties, upon the rivers of the Eastern and muidle Western
states; yet steamboating upon those rivers, aa compare«! to
what it was fifty years ago. is hardly worth mentioning.
But the rivers serve aa a freight regulator, the same aa it
will do on the Willamette, when it becomes an open river
the year round.
!f boats could run the year round even an far south as
Corvallis, they could build up a profitable trafle and the
saving of the lockage, would create a profitable river
service.
Albany is to be congratulate«! in initiating an association
which, if maintaindel with the same earnest enthusiasm ns
was manifested at this initial meeting, is sure to be success­
ful in thucn i. Albany is, also, to be congratulated for the
hospitable reception given visiting delegates and for the
decoration of th« streets and business houn«*a.

Any person who honestly and unselfishly st i lies the tren<*
of our government, cannot but conclude that th- continuous
conflict between the greed and se|fi«hn«-»a of the money«-
aristocracy, whi.-h is now th' ruling |s>wcr of our country
an«l th« rights of th« common people, must become, ay.
has become an issue and one which most be so decided that
anxieties and foreboiling» of the people for the future a hai
be place! at rest.
Thomae Jefferson, the greatest eon
stru-tive »tatesman the world has produce«! aaid: "Men.
by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties
Those who fear arwi distrust the people, and wish to draw
all power from them into the hands of the higher class«-*
and those who identify themselves with the people, hav<
confidence in them, cherish them and consider them as th
mod lonest ami safe, although not the most wise depository
of the public interest. In every country these two part.«-
exist, and in every one where they are froe to think, apeak
ami write, they will declare thi-msehoa.”
It matters not
what may be the names assigned to th.we parties, the princi
pies are the same the world over and have existed since th.
recording of history began, and exist today.
But, just in
proportion as intelligence am! education has advanced among
men, has the influence of the first class named waned and
r v téd
that of the second class advanced.
This thought is th<
inspiration which brecia reform and which causes men to
prose on towards the ideal in the administration of govern­
ment.
In our own country, the power ami dominance of wealth
in the control of the policies of our government, have been
supreme since civil war days; and the great struggle of th«
