THERE is n good story in the Inst issue oC the Saturday
Evening Post entitled "One Way Out." telling the
story of the man who emigrated from New England.
This man had for twenty years been a trusted, indus
trious and faithful elerk in a factory, had married and
led the usual life of the "respectable" but snobbish and
hopeless "middle-class." lived np to his income and en
joyed the narrow and limited opportunities of his caste.
At the ago of 38 he found himself suddenly let out, unfit
ted for any other occupation and "too old" to secure em
ployment in similar concerns. Vainly he sought work,
only to bo turned away.
On the verge of starvation, the idea occurred to him
that the majority of emigrants to America, ignorant and
unskilled though there, were, achieved competence and
success, and he resolved to sell everything he had, drop out
of the life of associates in the trim houses of the well kept
suburb, and follow in the emigrants' footsteps. Not hav
ing money enough to leave Boston, he rented a tenement
apartment, donned overalls, and got work as a day laborer
in a subway at $1.50 a day.
' The wife proved a good economist and helpmate. They
saved some money each week out of the wages. He found
that there was pleasure even in digging a ditch and a sci
ence in making every move count. He soon became an ex
pert, got acquainted with his Italian co-laborers and learn
ed their language. He found night schools at his service
and took courses in construction work and draftsmanship,
and in the coui'se of time was made sub-foreman, then
foreman with hundreds of men under him. His acquain
tance with workmen enabled him to select the best, and
his knowledge of their language and customs made his
gang the most efficient in the citv. Eventuallv he saw
a chance bv utilizing his savings to take a small contract.'
The industry, perseverance and sobriety, and the pa
tient plodding that had brought no appreciation for the
clerk, were richlv rewarded m tho larger life of the real
people, and the New England emigrant's rise to success
was rapid.
There is a good lesson in this for the young men of to
day, who prefer clerical work and snobbish "respectabil
ity," a cog in a great machine, and a hopeless future, to
the life of toil and physical labor and self-reliance. The
mechanic has a better chance in life than the clerk but
life is full of opportunity for the man willing to work,
who will use his brains. Opportunities abound in the east
still more in the west, most of all in the northwest, for
the man with ability enough to grasp them willing to
plod along hi the good old-fashioned way of thrift and industry.
cause ho made a most capable official and because he kept, hobton, Oct. is. Poiuicni i.mhi-
laith with the people. They will elect Oswald West be
cause he has "mado good," has full faith in the people and
represents (hose principles of popular rule for which the
people arc struggling.
As Senator Hrislow of Kansas says: "Tho republican
party cannot exist if it becomes subservient, to the people
who seek lo. and thus far have succeeded in controlling ii,
and, the fall of the government is imminent, unless this
battle between the masses and the interests, tho majority
and those prompted by greed and avarice, is won by the
former.'?

POLITICAL PARADOXES.

HEN the devil was sick, the devil a saint would be.
"When the devil was well, the devil a saint was he."

MISS HENRY IS
NOW MRS. WILBUR
Miss Talma-Zotta-Henry, tho dra
matic teacher wl o recently arrived In
Medford from Oakland, waa married
to Mr. Osccr 13. Wilbur of San Fran
cisco Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.
m. on 'tho stops of the Prosbytorlan
church. Tho marriage was tho cul
valai tlon of .". romance begun In Cal
ifornia, Tho couple left Medford this morn-,
ing for a honeymoon trip through tho
east. A crowd of Mrs. Wilbur's
.friends, ombraclng tho personnel of
the Medford Dramatic club's vau
devlllo production, staged In Med
ford two wooko ago for tho benefit
of the city library fund, woro at tho
depot with rice and old bUocs.
Perhaps this explains some of the amusing paradoxes
of the Oregon political campaign. The primary made
various candidates sick and willing to pose as saints, at
least until after election. But after election look out.
We have Jay Bowerman, slayer of normal schools,
leader of the assembly, nominated as the man best qual
ified to carry out the purposes of the assembly, which
defined by the Oregonian, the papa of the assembly, were
"to put the knife into each and all who declare for State
ment One," now posing as a champion of Statement One
until after election.
"We have assembly nominated Congressman Hawley,
wno, as benator L.a Jroliette said, was a iaithf id and sub
servient servant of the system in congress, who voted for
Cannon and the "interests" down the line, proclaiming
himself as having "no interests to serve but the public in-
ffM'PQTs" nnfil offnv nlnnfirvri
We have Dan Malarkcy and other pro-primary anti
assembly candidates, who heaped invective and abuse upon
the assembly and its principles, now vigorously campaign
ing for the few successful assembly candidates, advocat
ing betrayal of principle for "party harmony" until
after election.
t But most amusing of all, we have Joshua Patterson,
rejected candidate for county commissioner, turned down
in the primaries by the majority of voters of his own party
because he does not know how to build good -roads, so anx
ious to continue at the public crib that he is running as an
independent candidate on a "good roads" platform. It is
to laugh!
It is anything to get the votes but you can't fool all
the people all the time.
PRINCIPLE ABOVE PARTY.
Tho thoughts that breathe and burn are tho loving and lmmlrlng
thoughts that encircle tho world and embrace all humnnlty. . . .
Lovo Is service, the joy of service Is consecration, and tho crowning
of consecration Is Immortality. . . .
Tho greatest souls spring from tho groatoMt strugglcD. Only they know
the Joy of triumph and thu grace of exultation. . . .
Every homeless brother challenges tho validity of my title; orery
sorrowing sister rebukes my Chrlstless complacency, and overy neglected
child smites my conscience In the name of Humanity. . . .
Not until all aru fed aro any fed; not until all aro sheltered are any
sheltered; not until all are free aro ajiy free; not until nil aro OIVIMZKO

All humanity Is onu and Socialism Is for all humanity, thoroforo am I
for Socialism, with nil the blood of my veins and nil the patwlon of my

OENATOR BOURNE has placed principle above party
and advices the abandonment of party when party
success means the abandonment of principle.
Because the election of Jay Bowerman means the suc
cess of the assembly, the restoration of machine govern
ment, and the opening wedge in the attack on popular
rule, Senator Bourne lias advised his defeat.
Bowerman 's success spells defeat of principle, and
wiiuu miima auancion principle, tncy lose the commence
or tne people ana they deserve to lose it.
Bourne is being viciously assailed by the Oregonian
and all assembly papers. His record in the senate may
be open for .assault, but attacks upon him because he fa

J hmkmg people no longer vote for a man because ho
wears a party label. At best the modern political party is
but a collection of pie-eaters, financed by corporations.
as long as the pie-eaters hide behind principle, they are
tolerated. "When they betray it they should be and Rmnn-
times are thrown overboard.
