Business is becoming a littlo moio brisk at tho straw hat cleaner's, THE TRIUMPH THE old order change. h. Insurgency is abroad in tho land. " Stand-pa ttism" is doomed. Wherever the people have had a chance, they have expressed themselves in no uncertain manner against a government by politi cians for special interests. Xusurgoucy is an attempt to make this nation a gov ernment of the people, for the people, by the people. It is a protest against existing abuses, a revolt against the prostitution of popular government by privileged plu tocracy. Those who support existing conditions are reactiona ries in the same sense as those who opposed tho granting of the Magna Charta in King John's time, as those who throughout the progress of civilization have fought every effort of groping humanity in climbing the winding spiral of progress toward better conditions. Insurgency is not a party affair, any more than graft is. It exists in both old parties. There is as much re volt, and for the same principles, in democratic states, against tho machine in control, as in republican states. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, are witnessing the same strug gle as Iowa, Kansas and California. It has been described as "a national arousal of conscience, the world-old fight of the many for an even chance with the few." California offers one of the most striking examples of the failure of the old system and the need of change. For half a century, popular government has been a farce, because the machinery of government had been captured by a corporation, which through its money and its agents dominated the party organizations. Hence political par ties instead of being vehicles for the expression of popu lar desires, became instruments for carrying out corpo rate desires. State, national, and even city and county officials represented organized greed instead of the unor ganized masses. The cure for these government ills is direct legislation. The first move in the restoration of government to the people is the direct primary law, giving to the people the right to name candidates. The of the initiative and referendum, allowing the people to approve or disapprove of their representatives' actions and to legislate on their own initiative. The third step is the recall, enabling the people to retire officials. Through the direct primary law, people of California, after many years of ineffectual effort, have for the first time been enabled to name the candidates of each party. The result has been the nomination by both parties of men free from corporation domination and pledged to a program of direct legislation and the complete overthrow of the political machine. The same result has followed in every state where the people have been given a voice. The demand of the people for this privilege has become well nigh universal The. progressive or insurgent, champions this demand. The "regulars" or "stand-patters" oppose it. The same is sues that are dominant in every state are dominant in magnified form in the nation, and insurgency represents in the nation just what it represents in California the effort to shake off the yoke of special interests. In Oregon, where the people, through the Statement One provision of the direct primary law, can elect a "United States senator by indirection, a determined assault is be ing made to restore the system just overthrown in Califor nia. "War and "war to the knife" has been declared by the Oregonian, chief organ of the reactionaries, upon can didates for the legislature who are willing to abide by Statement One and let the people elect senators. Representing the First congressional district in Oregon is "W. C. Hawley of Salem, fittingly re-nominated by an assembly of reactionaries. His record shows him a staunch supporter of Uncle .Toe Cannon, and always voting to sus tain his un-American and czar-like rule. Mr. Hawley has consistently upheld machine rule whenever he had the chance. He has repudiated Statement One, showing that he does not believe in popular election of senators. His re-nomination will be a triumph of those principles re jected repeatedly by voters of Oregon, recently rejected by voters of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, California and other states, and soon tobe rejected by voters of the .entire na tion. Does the First Oregon district want to go on record as opposing political progress, as a reactionary portion of a state that has led the way in political progress? It is hardly probable it is far more probable that insurgen cy will win here as elsewhere and nominate B. F. Mulkey, the progressive candidate. A DANVILLE JONAH. T IKE the celebrated Hebrew prophet, Jonah, who was L cast overboard to lighten a badly waterlogged craft, Uncle Joseph Jonah Cannon is to be consigned to the yearning maw of the whale in order that the Taft admin istration schooner may not founder in the perilous seas of insurgency that are besetting her. The passing of Undo Joe as a sacrifice to tho insur gents is not without its pathetic side. Through all the fat years of recent tariff revision Uncle Joe has been the OF INSURGENCY. second step is the adoption bulwark of the stand-patters. For a decade Uncle .Toe has boon tho pride of hia party, the recipient at its hands of more official power than the chief executive, and now upon the first indication of a squall tho stout old seaman is to be made to walk tho plank to meet a horrible fate in the belly of an insurgont whalo. Oh, consistency, whoro aro tho grand old slogans of tho G-. O. P.. "The full dinner pail" must give wav to "The full bellied whalo." DIPLOMATIC WTION HIGHLY INTERESTING JUST NOW United States Rubbing Elbows With European Countries as Never Be foreDuo Principally to Part That Uncle Sam Is Taking In China WASHINGTON, Aug., Aug.lS. Tho International chess board dip lomatic now presents nn Interesting problem, which according to aomo'jectlon of Manchuria In fact, If not observers may result In a readjust ment of relationship between ling- land and tho United States. The United States no longor en joys tho freedom of diplomatic Is olation. By plunging Into far Eaat orn affairs, Uuclo Sam lias rubbed elbows with European powers and to a certain extent will bo obliged to take sides In the International games. Tho chief causes of this situation aro tho fear of tho yellow porll In Eurono, and the participation of tho Unltod States In the affairs of tho Orient on n more progressive scalo. Other contributory causes aro tho fear of Gonnany and England and the over-present complications or Europo diplomatic which govern the attitude of the powers toward the far eastern question. Although the change Is In process of evolution, it Is regnrded as almost certain by diplomatists who gavo their attention to tho shifting of diplomatic currents, that, eventually tho United States, Russia and Ger many will be lined up against Great Drltlan and Japan. Other countries will enter Into the international game, but tfceso will be tho prota gonists. Tho fear 'of yollow peril tho aw:.kening of China to a sonso of Its power and tremendous resources Is tho nightmare of Europe. Tho United States has not felt tho samo qualms about Chlnn. Her treatment of tho great empire of tho orient has been characterized by a spirit of utmost fearllneas nnd en couragement. Her recoptlon of Chi nese dignitaries has been conspic uously cordial. Her remission of tho Boxor indemnity sot an oxnmplo of national humanltarlnnisin difficult for other countries to follow. In ad dition tho United States has boon tho prime mover In establishing tho prl clpal of tho "open door" nnd terri torial Integrity of China. All this might havo been over looked by European powora who wero amazed thnt nny country should en courage tho awakonlng of a sleeping giant, had not Secretary Knox sud denly stunned tho npprohonsivo con cert of nations by exploding his plans for tho naturalization of tho Mnn churlan railroads. In othor words, It wna a diplomatic "show-down". Put to the test, England quickly threw tho weight of hor influonco to Japan. This moans, largely, tho sacrifice of England's trado In Man churia and China and tho London forolgn offlco has been assallod by a constant outpouring of crltlslms from Englishmen in tho orlont, Tho wholo action seomn to mean that Great Brltlan Is willing to sac rifice ho- chances In China to re tain Japan's friendship t.n an nlly and to keop tho yollow porll from wresting India from hor in tho far future. Lator Great Britain dis played hor wenknoss by bowing to Russia, which brought about tho Russla-Japaneso agreement, but In this Instance Japan's Interests woro principally at stake. So bitter has tho fooling becamo that tho statomont has boon freely mado that tho United States stand ing for Intogrlty of China, will sham Groat Brltlan into breaking nway from Jnpan to protect hor own In-. toresiB in tho orient.
