"FACTION' AND THE PUBLIC WEXr

regarding ' the- political situation in
Oregon.; Unfortunately thisr art ieba ap

and goes on to make charges and crimi
nations which -ot I themselves, if per
sisted in would-make that wish an ut
ter aadTabsolute; impossibility. v
. Harmony! The writer of that -arti
ele wants no harmony except it be that
harmony which means the surrender of
all those-who have en im t other fae
,

this faction. .
The editor Vf the Qregonian says thaf
the Republicans of Oregon have forgot

have blonged'whatever friendships
may have existed in the past to which
these men were related, is denied. Fur
ther, that there are factional divisions
in the state of Oregon that are irrecon
cilable is not a just statement of fact.
A few men may feel soreness as a re
sult of the factional bickerings of the
!past, but tbat ' tnia-feeling is extant in
1 the rank and file of the party no one
who goes out among the rank and file
can, or is willing to, believe. -A f
Tbe Republicans of Oregon are Re

Republicans for : loot and spoil. This
statement ia true as regards those who

and of his friends, as it is also true of
those who-have been friends of Sena

It is said tbat Senator Mitenell is
no longer to be taken into considera
tion. This may be true.' 80 far as per
sonalities' go, in point, of fact, neither
Senator Mitchell nor Benator Simon
should be taken into consideration, but
the good of the Republican party.

WANT MORE LAWS.
There is an association within the

tics purely and simply the outgrowth
of the radicalism which has made Wil-
liam Jennings Hryan, Thos. E. Watson,
Tbos. W. Lawson and a few others of
the same character features of our eco

made up of the radicals from the Re
publican and Democratic parties and
from those who"ToTmel the Populist
party, who before that belonged to the
greenback party, who back of that were
members of the know-nothing party,
etc., an infinitum; all men who find the
world out of joint, present laws inade
quate, conditions all wrong, mainly and
largely because of their own personal
failures, to get into office through one
or the other of the leading parties.
It is trying today to engraft upon the
laws of the state of Oregon new Ideas
of populism, ideas which perhaps are
safe enoigh in themselves, and from
which nothing dangerous may come in
the near future, yet, withal, they are

All these new schemes lead away
from the conventional, through the rad

a very unwise and absolutely uncalled

The state of Oregon has taken on a
lot of new laws within the past few
years, all experimental, laws -which as
yet have not had an opportunity' of
demonstrations of either value or char-,
acter. It would seem, therefore, that

Once in a long time it may be
;ile the state ia the sufferer through
failures of legislatures to adopt certain
legislation, but in the majority of
cases no legislation is so alraolutely im
portant that it - cannot wait Hound
thought and careful weighing before it
adoption.
There is little reason to believe t h tt
the people of the state as a generality
demand the laws proposed by Mr.
U'lten, vet no one doubts that a gr-:t
many people will vote for them, more
than likely without thinking of the re
sults of such legislation. The suret
way, however, of " preventing loading
down our statute Woks with siu-h l:iw
