THE COMMON MAN.
The years go by; tho powerful and
great,
All, soon or late, arc bound in
death's fast chains;
Yet, "while tho highest bow them
selves to fato,
'The endless thronjj of common
men remains.
Time moves apace; princes are
stricken down,
And, at last, their star of fflory
wanes;
Upon their brow Death sets his icy
crown, ' 1
Yet, through it all, the common
man remains.
The cycles bpced; kings are en
throned in strength;
And yet, however grand maj' be
their reigns,
They, too, arc called away from life
ut length
And yet, through all, the common
man remains.
The men of power, whose words will
stir tho hearts
Of men and nations, some groat
end to gain,
Will feel in time tho King of Terror's
darts,
And yet tho common men they
blessed remain.
As in our reasoning wo stop and
pause,
As we theso mighty figures view
and scan,
Wo ask why is it ho? It is because
.Tho dear Lord must havo lov.ed tho
common man.

STILL ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
STATE SENATOR ALBERT ABRAHAM of Roseburg
litis announced his candidacy for republican nomina
tion for governor. Other saviors of the party besides .lay
Bowonnan, the assembly nominee, are George J. Camer
on, district attorney of Multnomah county, Colonel E.
Ilofer, editor of tho Salem Journal, and Grant B. Dinuniclc,
an attorney of Oregon City. The three latter are support
ing the principles of the direct primary law, but Mr, Abra
ham wants the assembly, but not in quite as raw a form
as the recent assembly, which Mr. Abraham declares was
"not representative" and "did not nominate the strong
est man," and did not "deliberate with the view of select
ing the best man for governor," which, it goes without say
ing, was !Mr. Abraham.
Republican voters are now given the opportunity of
voting for one of three advocates of the direct primary
law and one of two advocates of the convention system.
But two kinds of convention are presented, that where the
candidate chooses the delegates, as in the recent Portland
gathering, and that where the delegates theoretically, any
way, choose the candidate. As a matter of fact, in every
Wfill pstnhlishod nolitinnl iinvt.v ponvontioii. thn hoss
.. i
. ... - ,., . .
chooses bom candidates and
inn. nnrnnvnfinna finnnnA flio
1
ruption of any state can be traced directly to this system.
Mr. Abraham is unusually shy and modest. It is one
of his characteristics. He evidently possesses many vir-
tures and will take the public into his confidence by telling
them what they are. He served one session of the legisla
ture, and believes his record far better than Mr. Bower
man's or anyone else's, and will tell the people the secret.
He says:
"My chief aim shall be to cement the republican party
and with the party welfare in view, I believe I am logical-
ly the strongest candidate. If nominated, I would receive
the votes of all true friends of the assembly movement and
of maintenance of party organization, while if Mr. Bower-
man were nominated, I believe he would have serious op
position from within the party."
It is little short of marvelous to find how many people
there are abundantly satisfied that they are best qualified
to be governor of Oregon, and to unite the republican par
ty. Every day from now on will probably find some new
candidate discovering in himself the necessary qualifications.
You can fool some of the people all the time, as under
the assembly system, and all of the people some of the
time, as under the convention system; but you can't fool
all the people all the time hence the direct primary law.
GOOD ROADS IN JACKSON COUNTY.
THE good roads movement
if we may be pardoned
lance of faro, with "a copper
creditable pike which is being constructed between Med
ford and Jacksonville, every other effort at road improve
ment in the county has been an obstruction rather than
a benefit.
Take, for instance, the road leading from Jacksonville
north along the hills, and affording the sightseer the most
beautiful view of the valley, which has been made almost
impassable to teams or automobiles under sixty-horse pow
er. The uninitiated viewing this road for the first time
might easily draw the conclusion that this highway had
been prepared for the travel of a monowheel contrivance.
The high and razor-like ridge of sand thrown up in the
center of this highway would certainly tax the balancing
skill of an expert bicyclist.
In other parts of the county gravel and cobblestones
have been thrown on the roads in piles resembling hay
cocks and permitted to solidify without leveling off, giving
the road the fine corrugated appearance of the business
side of a washboard.
A majority of the roads of the county might be termed
the dairyman's delight. As a labor saving device to the
farmer they are certainly ingenious. All the farmer has
to do is to put his cream in the cans and start for the mar
ket, and long before he reaches the market the arduous
task of churning has been accomplished and the butter
ready for market.
' NEBRASKA. REBUKES BRYAN DICTATORSHIP.
THE Nebraska state convention by a most decisive ina-
jority yesterday repudiated the political theories of
"W. J. Bryan and deposed the thrice peerless leader of the
national party from a state leadership that has lasted over
two decades. -
Air, Bryan's advocacy of a straight water wagon policy
was too much for the tillers of the sandy soils of the rag
ing Platte, and they gave tho peerless one his water with
a "loo" on tho end of it.
Political curtain for Mr. Bryan, and a great national
figure grows pathetically commoner.

thoy never luul intomled prosentiu
his name to the convention. Our
field said tlut it would linvo been
futile to make a fight on tho adop
tion of the platform he favored.
"Tho progressive accomplished
much, in spite of appearances," said
Garfield,
lie refused to discuss his plans
for tho future, declaring, however,
that ho still would continue tho fight
for progressive Hopuhlican princi
ples. Staml-Pnt Platform.
Tho stand-pat platform was
adopted today by the Ohio Repub
licans without n fight. A few scat
tering "noes" were hoard when tho
viva voce vote was taken on the re
port on tho resolutions committee.
No minority repot t was presented by
the committee and the stnud-pattors
seemed absolutely in control.
Senator Theodore Burton was
elected permanent chairman when
the convention went into session at
10 o'clock and tho adoption of the
... .... . a
resolutions lollowett in a lew nun
utcs.
The Inform was read by Senator
Dick, chairman of tho resolutions
committee. It indorses tho Tafl ad
ministration and starts a second
term boom, recommending; his re
nomination in 1912.
Tariff Endorsed.
The Ohio delegation in congress is
praised for its record and tho tariff
is endorsed. Tho platform favors
ship subsidy, n larger navy, improve
ments in rivers and harbors, an
amendment to the anti-trust laws
enabling quicker adjustment of dif
ferences; indorses conservation and
urces further generous pension leg
islation. The stfito laws, the platform says,
should include measures for tho su
pervision nnd regulation of public
utilities, child labor, direct voto on
franchises for public servico corpo
rations, publicity of campaign ex
penses, nn income tax and tho indi
vidual punishment of corporation of
ficials in cast trust laws nro vio
lated. The plnnk referring to Tnft rends:
"We commend in highest terms the
splendid ndmiuistrntion of President
William Howard Tnft nnd nro proud
of the results ho has achieved in 17
months in office. We pledgo' him
our henrtv nnd united support nnd
indorse him for rcnominatinu in
1912.
Point With Pride.
"The record of tho achievement!
of tho administration and of thu
01st congress is unenuulcd in his
tory and guarantees the adhorencc
to the pledges of tho lust Iicpublicnu
national platform. Tho election of n
Republican congress is imperatively
necessary to accomplish the entire
program of the administration. The
tariff has been reduced in accord
ance with Republican doctrine of
protection of homo industries mnfl
American labor.
"Congress has not raised the duty
on a single common food product.
The tariff affords no more than an
adequate protection to tho indus
tries of the nation, fair to consum
ers und producers. Tho tariff law
has ever been most unjustly assailed.
It has justified tho expectations of
its friends, turning the national
deficit into a surplus and reducing
tho average rale on nil commodities.
The maximum and minimum rates
operate to givo us for the first time
an equal opportunity with nations
for foreign trndo."
Strongest Stnntl-I'nttcr. .
Tho document is tho strongest
"ntaud-pat" platform that has been
presented in Ohio for many years.
Garfield, soon after tho adoption
of the platform, announced his
withdrawal from the gubernatorial
race. He declared he could not be
n candidate on such n platform. His
lending supporters failed to get into
the fight for him. Ho was outgen
eraled by the stand-patters and tho
progressives were put to rout when
tho final test enme.
It was expected that Congress
man Howlnud would present a minor
ity report, but ho failed to do so.
Qnrfiold and Ifowlnnd conferred this
morning. They conversed for a short
time, but it is said reached no un
derstanding icgardiiig tho progres
sive fight. Progressive supporters
at first accused Garfield of treason.
ITowhuid finally declared ho had not
prepared any minority report and
rushed to (he convention hall.
Tho progressives expected, after
tho Dick plntform was rend, that
Ilowland would prosont u minority
roport, Thoy woro dumbfounded
when ITowlnnd refused to present
such a repot t. Tho collapse of tho
platform fight ended Garfield's con
