fart that his political horizon hasn't broadened since Col
umbus discovered America.
Why borrow trouble. Then; is enough legitimate de
fense work for Iloratious at the (i. 0. '. bridge, without
bothering about a iiieasuie 'oiieernin which even Reac

We said "The proposition is to disenfranchise the in
dependent: voter and make supreme the old party slogan,
'vote the ticket .straight.' " And that is absolutely what
the proposition i. We repeat it. :
W'e didn't say the measure proposed lo disenfranchist
the republican voter or the democratic voter, but the in
dependent voter. And before we used "disenfranchise"
we looked up the word in Webster's unabridged with Ihe
following result:
I ilsi'ii I ranchise-- Ti. disposnc:; of the rights of a citizen, or of a particu
lar privilege as of votliiK, lioblinj', ollire, elc. .
If U'eact ioiiary will investigate wliy a iloy.cn of the
republican slate senators voted against this measure, and
two of them fought like wild cats against it, and a re
publican n'ovcrnor vetoed it, lie may decide that declaring
the purpose of this measure was to d is tosses tin; inde
pendent voter of his ri;;hls as a citizen, was statin"' the
absolute t nil li.
)(arold U'eacl ioiiary. W'e were asked the oilier day
why we allow him so much space. W'e are under no ob
ligation lo nivc him an inch. We merely accommodate
him because we enjoy him. lie represents to our mind
a distinct example of abnormal political psychology,
which is becoiuinjf almost extinct. In the interest: of po
litical anti(iiity we don't, want lo lose him.
For id, a time when the political issues of (he country
lire so .complicated and (list urbino' it is almost refreshino'
to find someone who finds I hem so altogether simple and
reassurinj;. There is nothing' to worry about for Reac
tionary. Merely perceive that all the good and all the.
wisdom of the universe is in the republican party and nl!
the evih' and all the depravity, in the democratic part y,
make "two swift strokes of the pencil and go about yoi;r
business."
"Make two swift strokes of the, pencil and go about
vour business," there is .Rcaetionarv in a nut. shell. There
is his sijiipie '..formula, of political rpspoiiKiUilitrfrom A te
Jzzard. " I'rovided Hiat stroke is on Ihe right ticket. So

Hut in justico to Ihu re
publican party and to the, men who
led for tho Htruiaht party ticket
hill 1 wish lo call attention to
editorial in tho Triliunu of Jan. I'.ltli,
criticising with Kival severity the re
publican legislature of Oregon for
passluK the straight party licket 1111-
in this conncclliin the editor says:
j'ln! proposition is to disirancbiso
(lie independent voters and make mi-
preme Ihe old party idogan "vote the

Jlero is a positive statement that
Ihe Independent voter will be dMran- !
ehised by this hill. J,et ua see If this
is 'sVi, fr if It is every republican in j
tho ntatc will rise up lo swat it. For
the republican party from ihe day it;
came inli,' being down to the present '
moment of lime has stood for a five j
hallol. mid a fair count, and llu; only j
shcUou of our country vvhro Ihisi

to ramble around over the ballot and
set unmercifully st ung, as usually
haipens. I have had no particular
difficulty in doing that.
Now jis lo the real fai ls. This bill
disfranchises no cue. No one's fran
chise rmhls are abridged in any par
ticular. The only change It make.- is
to restore to the man who wishes to
vole a straight ticket something that
never should have been taken from
him In the beKinnini; tho riht 'to

clear and intelligent understanding
of what he thinks will best serve his
country's interest, make two swift

his hallol over to tho election hoard
and ko iuh kly about hm business.
And when it c(..nos to tho to-called

what-nots they can do under tho new
law exactly what it lias been their
