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."

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

amazed thnt nny country should en

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

constant outpouring of crltlslms 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.

"Wo want to make this lair an

ture, mining, stock raising, poultry,
and lumbering, nnd as we have ar
ranged for tlie giving away of $1,
700 in premiums we believe thnt it
should lie worth while for nil tho
citizens f Josephine nnd Jackson
counties to take a decided personal
interest by making exhibits in addi
tion to 'boosting" the fair in ovory
wav possible.
"In addition to competing for the
cash premiums, every ggrower of
products of the soil should take n
pride in exhibiting- the wonderful
fruits, vegetables, etc., which are
grown in this, the banner section of
Oregon.
"Some of the finest liorsos mid
colts in the state aro owned in this
section, nnd it hoped they will be
on parado together with tho excellent
cattle nnd othor live stock.
"Tho general nmiisemnnt and enter
tainment features of the fair will be
superintended by tlio Commorci.il
club of Grants Pass, which fuel as
sures nil visitors nnd exhibitors a
good, jolly timo, in addition to the
instructive features of tho fair.
"The premium lists uro now ready
for distribution, nnd we ask you to

if you desire ono of them; ho will al
