The label gives the voter something to go by, and 'saves him from being utterly lost in a sea of aspirants for office. We are really suffering from too lit tle party politics in Oregon. If our state political organizations would adopt platforms embodying certain definite policies to which their can didates would be bound, the voter would have something to go by. As It Is, each candidate makes his own platform and then forgets It just as soon as election Is over The result is increasing demagogy. No one Is pledged to anything definite, and broad, general principles are un heard of. Those who shout that party poll tics Is dead are merely seeking to gain some personal or partisan end. What they really mean is that all parties save theirs should be dead. Political parties are merely symbols for certain principles, and principles can best be carried out through par-ties.

The State of Oregon is a business institution run for the benefit of the people in it -vim, in a ccitain sense. are stockholders in its business interests. TAXES MUST BE REDUCED! In the commit primary election, Charles A. Johns, of Portland, will ask the vote of every person who believes the State of Oregon needs to have taxrs reduced and expenses cut down. The only way to reduce taxes and cut down expenses is to apply the same principles in running the State that you would apply in running your own business. Hov many institutions would run alonij with an increase of oper ating expenses from year to year ? Not many. Well, let's reduce our taxes and cut down our expenses. Charles A. Johns, of Portland, is running on that platform and stands on his platform. Get him on the job! Start thinking about this today! Will you elect a man who will cut down expenses and reduce taxes, or a politician, as our next Governor f The issue is clear. One will cut down taxes the other will give jobs to his political friends. Which du you want ? Paid Advertisement.

A few newspapers in Oregon please themselves by asserting from time to time that party politics, so far as state and county affairs are toncern ed, is dead. They make the asser tion frequently In the hope that ul timately they may come to believe it themselves, and bolster it up with the platitude that it is the man and not the party label he wears, that counts. It is noticeable that most of these papers are Independent or Bull Moose in politics. Formerly non-partisanship was the favorite topic with Democratic newspapers and" politi cians, but since the national adminis tration is Democratic and since jobs are peddled out only to the faithful and the orthodox you hear little non partisan talk from your true Demo crat, who is now whooping It up for the party of Jefferson and Jackson. It may be that in county politics political affiliation counts for little, although as long as Oregon's pri mary law remains as it is parties will be an important factor. Most of the cadidates for county offices are known to he voters either person ally or by reputation, and an econ omical and business-like administra tion is all that is desired. Few im portant questions of policy outside of good business policy come up, and political affiliation has little to do with the settlement of such as do make themselves felt. But in state politice the situation is different. Few of the candidates are known to the voters even by rep utation, and choice necessarily be comes a matter of label. If the Re publican party stands for a certain thing it is reasonable to assume that the candidates of that party stand for the same thing. So with Dr. A. D. McMurdo has purchased the Hayes property on Chase street. He is contemplating the erection of a modern residence in the near fu ture. The consideration was $1200. Mediators Have a Hard Problem to ' I Solve. Spokesman-Review President Wilson has been saj'ing for a year that Huerta must be elim- j tnated. But his process of elimina-; tion has failed to bring the desired result and borne us to the brink of , war. With equal firmness or stub bornness, term it what you will, Huerta has declared his purpose not to yield. "I'll be president of Mex ico when Mr. Wilson has gone back to private life," he has said. How to reconcile these incom patible attitudes is the hard nut which the South American mediators will have to crack if their labors are to bring success. Hope lies in the thought that nei ther principal is quite so firm at heart as his front would indicate. The constitutionalists have made "headway within the past ninety days and Huerta knows what would hap pen to Huerta if Villa should lead a conquering army into the city of Mex ico. On the other hand President Wilson shrinks, as well he may, from the consequences of his well meant but mistaken policy of moral pressure and watchful waiting for results. Nor can the president be wholly unmindful that from the start the world's best judgment has pronoun ced against the wisdom of his Mex ican policy. European journals experienced in diplomatic history and events, states men everywhere of long training in that field, and the diplomatic corps at Washington and every other cap ital of note, have regarded the pres ident's optimism with a half-amused, quizzical and cynically tolerant air. "The sort of waj" into whioh the United States has wancered in a cas ual, somnabulistic way," comments the London Standard, ''threatens to ba a very bad sort of war Indeed. The events of the last few days in Mexico show the impossibility of conducting hostilities on the limited liability principle. They also show the folly of ignoring the ordinary in stincts of human beings. President Wilson is, of course, perfectly sin cere, and his mistakes are those of a highminded man, but it is now cer tain that he has committed his coun try to an enterprise of the most ar duous depression, and one which Americans are entering into with profound depression, and one which the issue, whatever it may be, can scarcely fall to be unsatisfactory." The Standard's opinion is fairly Indicative of the general tone of friendly British comment. It had expression before the mediatory of fer came from Argentina, Brazil and Chile, with its hope and prospect of working out some medial basis for the prevention of war, the extrica tion of Mr. Wilson's administration from Its unhappy dilemma, and the possible restoration of government and order in the revolution-distracted republic across the Rio Grande. European powers, the press dis patches have pointed out, have been requested by the three mediators to exert friendly influences on the pres ident. Should these friendly Inti mations fall on stony ground and the president persist in a mood to yield nothing and demand all, med iation will fail and its failure may leave the United States in a more difficult situation than before.
