Tho Journal Inndvortontly did Mr. McMahan an Injustice, uh ho nays, in quoting him as saying nt tho direct primary mooting at tho Salem City hall, as follews: "It does not follow that bocauao n legislator Is dlahonost that lie should onaqt bad lawa." That la what wo thought wo understood Mr. McMahnu to Bay, He is a candldato for tho state son ato on tho Democratic ticket, and wo would not mlsquoto any man oti such n mattor.

THE VIEW8 OF C. E. 8. WOOD. Tho ualorn Statesman Is In error whon it Bays thnt O. 13. 8. Wood, tho Doinoorntlo nomlnoo for United Stato senator, was or is a freo silver man. Ho was a gold" Domoorat, nud, na wo rccolleqt, supported Palmer oleotors. Rut in 1900 the Isuuo of imperialism oyorahadowed all other matters, and ho laid aside tho projudlco or convic tions ho had against freo sllvor, and supported Uryan. In this wo may bo mistaken, but that ia our present Impression, In a apoooa at tho last Democratic bauquot at Portland, in 1000, ho made an elo quent Bpeooh for tho abandonment of tho Philippines, On that Issue ho is not oven in ac cord with tho Democratic platform, as he goes to tho oxtromo of tho most radical Massachusetts "antla" and ad vocated Armed resistance on the part of the. Filipinos. On tho tariff quantum he U an ad vocate of Absolute free trade, uot In tho future- some time, as some, Repub licans talk, but now and forovor. im mediately and regardless or conse- quoacos. AN INDEPENDENT PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. As tho Democratic platform stands ; for a revenue tariff, and recognizes tho fact that tho Philippines aro American territory, on theso Issues tho Demo cratic candidate for tho United States senato is not in harmony with Ills party platform, nor with tho great mafiB of tho American people. Tho Journal has tho highest regard for tho ability and character and scholarship of C. E. S. Wood, and bo llovos he is porfectly slneoro in his vJowb. But wo foot it is our duty to point out thnt his vIowb aro not tho views, or at leaBt havo not been, of tho groat mass of tho people of Orogon, to whom ho appeals for votes as a candidate for senator. MARION COUNTY IDEAS NOT WANTED. Tho long nnd short of this campaign Is that the economical hnyflocd Ideas that aro provnlont to somo extont among tho Republicans of Marlon county nro not wantod by the nroaont loaders of tho pnrty. To h 11 with mon Hko Geer nnd Ford, and nil that class who bollovo in dlscusalng mnttors boforo tho people, and making campaigns with Jawbono Instead of tho barrel! What is wanted Ib mon who have a sack, nnd will ubo It, nnd who will de mand tho uso of tho jintional sack, nnd don't havo tho Back too far out of reach of Jack Mntthows, clthor. Tho Marlon county plan of reducing taxes, wiping out debt, leaving nomi nations and olectloiiB to tho people, nnd all that kind of houbouhc, don't go down nt tho Portland end of the machlno. RcpubllcnnB may ns woll lino up with tho trusts nnd tho barrel nnd the organizers, and forgot tholr countrl fled notions about economical cam paigns nnd hnyBood administration. Tho Portlnnd progrnm Is bound to bo put through, If Htntu taxes nro doubled. o HOW TO MAKE PROSPERITY ENDURING Prosperity to tho business Interests of tho country depends for Its buccobb nndcontlnunnco on tho prosperity nnd purchnHlng power of Its cltlzons. The moro dollars thoy havo (other things being oqunl) tho larger will bo the amount of goods thoy will buy nnd coiiBumo, whllo tho roverflo Is of no cosalty tho caao whoro tholr purchas ing power 1b curtailed nnd lessoned. It follows theroforo thnt anything that Iobboiib tho purchnHlng power of tho laboror nnd farmer, who consti tute the groat majority of our people, Injures tho buslnoHS Interests of .the ontlro country and reartH to tho In Jury of all, whllo anything that tonds to promote tho Interests of tho laboror and farmor benefits all other Interests. Tho real enemies of society, theroforo, aro thoso who for personal, selfish ends nre permitted to exploit and Im poverish these two moat useful momberH of society. Thnt this is ByHtomatlcnlly nnd oponly done needs no urgumont to provo, In tho csbo of tho farmer this Is equally truo. Tnko, for oxamplo, tho nun of prunes ns ono Instance out of many. Tho Oregon fruit growor laat year rocolvod from 2 to i cents for his driod prunos, whllo tho consumers In tho onstern cities had to pay 12V& to 15 cents pur pound. This enormous profit went Into the pockots of tho transportation compan ies and tho middlemen. And this Is oqunlly truo to n less extent perhnps. of anything tho funnor either sells or buys, besides having to pay moro than his sliuro of u burdensome tnx. The laboror Ih in tho sumo boat, and he , too, gets tho worst ond of It. Truo, wo admit employment Is nbundnnt at tho present time nud his wages aro n high as they hnvo been for many years on an nvernge. Hut ho has to work harder, that Ih by tho aid of modern machinery he turns out n largor product and creator moro wonlth per day than ho hna ever done boforo, whllo IiIh wages nre no higher. while on the other hnnd the cost of his living has been recently increased more tlinu forty per cent, so that ho Is in a worse condition tluui ever, even providing he lias steady employ mont, the continuance of which la a serious problem with all thinking men, In view of the rapidity which this country Is gaining possession of the world's markets and displacing Euro pean competing countries whose labor on this account Is throsvu Idle. Those of them who can rnUc enough to pay their steerage passage nud the neces sary amount required to secure their entrance are coming to this country by the thousands, as Instance the enor mous steerage emmlgratlon to this to this country from Germany. Theee people are njmost entirely laborers, and are coming to this country to compete with American laborers for their Jobs. This will result in the loweilug of wanes, and consequent lessen tho purchasing power of this numerous olasa of consumers, which in turn will Injure the business Inter eats of the country. The Huropean manufacturers in their efforts to re gain their lost markets will be com pelled to out the wages of their em ployees in order to reduce the price of their goods to regain their trade. This In turu will be followed by the manu facturers of this country Ih order to hold their trade. And so it will go. drat oue side and theu the other will go on cutting prices and wages, until the condition of the laboring class In this country Is reduced to the level of that of the Chinese, and us a matter of court his DUrchailnn dowsp will be 'reduced accordingly. The trutt mtU- ods adopted by this country of con. ducting business will also havo to bo adopted by tho manufacturers of tho world as the only means of stopping this soncoless, wasteful, throatcuttlng competition. Thoy aro already taking stops In this direction. As Instance tho combination into a gigantic trust or compnny of tho steamship com panies under ono head, Mr. J. P. Morgan, the organizer and teacher of the business world. Tho gontlomcn at tho head of the trusts are shrewd and sonalblo enough to havo learned both by oxperlencc nnd observation that the Inevitable result of competition Is tho' death of trade, or rather proflt, which Is what trade is carried on for, bosldos being oxtromoly wasteful. Tho sooner this fnct is learned by tho goneral business world tho better It will bo for thorn. Everything Is tending townrds combination and or ganization. Tho business of tho coun try Is going that way, labor is forming Into unions. Tho air is -full of this tendency in all linos. And to try to stop tho formation of trusts by legislation and other means of Hko naturo is futile nnd useless, as veil try to kcop back tho tides of tho ocean with a teaspoon. It Is pro gress. It Is tho natural evolution of trade, as tho railroad superceded the old freight wagon. So tho trust meth ods of conducting business is fast dis placing tho rapidly disappearing com petitive method, never to return. We nro moving up a notch higher. Tho lntornntlonnl truat Is nlrcady boro and will become world wide. Anything that cannot bo absorbed will bo crushed, thnt Is tho principle pursued. When It becomos world wldo nnd has supplied all markots whoro will it find a market for Its sur plus products. This is tho fatal so lution of tho trust question that they cannot niiBwer. Theso Bo-cnlled great captains of Industry cannot nnswor th sl question, neither enn tho leaders of olthor of tho political partlos. It seems to be n case of "after mo the deluge." As wo hnvo shown, tho farmor and tho laborer, tho great consuming pow er and foundation of tho nation's pros perity has been so Impoverished by tho procoss thoy nro subject to, that thoy cannot buy back what thoy havo produced, and owing to tho won derful productivity of tho modorn la bor saving machinery now In uso (nnd which Is fast being Introduced Into nil parts of tho civilized world) could not even If thoy woro able. Hero Is whoro socialism steps In nnd Is the only legitimate culmination and solution of tho trust' question. Tho loading Socialists sco Its rnpld appioach nnd tiro busy educating tho workers ho as to lit them to recelvo It, nnd havo thorn run It smoothly with out mlatakes when It comes. The socialist party in Orogon was formed nud launched with this purpose In view, nud the coming campaign Is to bo oue of education along these linos. Under socialism tho bulk of tho wonlth that labor produces olthor goes Into the puokots of tho privileged class or Is waBted In our prosout wasteful competitive system. It would then go Into the pockets of the labor er and farmer, which would ndd to their present Incomes moro than 300 por cent. And the Invention and Introduction of labor saving machines would bo n blessing to tho workers Instend of be ing a curso ns Is now too often tho caao. as It would shorten his hourB of labor Instead of throwing him out of employment. With this lncronso of Income Instead of thero being Indus trial stagnation nud ruin as Mr. Hannn and some promlnont newspapers have stated would bo tho case If wo adopt ed socialism. The very reverse would be the case. Industrial development would re ceive such nn Impetus ami bo In creased to such au extent as has never been equaled In any country In nny S. J. JONES. THE SOCIAL PROBLEM. 'What shall the churches do to rec ognize the demand for social amuse ment nnd entertainment on the part of the young? Shall the churches re move tho ban against cards, dancing nud the theatre? Methodist ministers or Chicago, at a banquet In the Union League Club, discussed this matter, and a nroml- , nent ecclesiastic ndvoented removing the time-honored barriers against worldy pleasures. Tho argument is that young people will seek worldly pleasures, and if prohibited by the church they will seek them and refuse to become mem bers of the church. The Chicago divine took the posi tion that if the Methodist church did uot make concessions on the line of prohibited entertainments It would lose Its hold on the young men and women who lovo pleasure. The theory of adopting a certain line or policy to help church membership la uot sound In loglo or principle. The I church or Christ Is a spiritual king dom, and its mlsslou the salvation or tho Individual. All meu need spiritual enlighten- i ment ami sal ration. The spiritual d. jvelapmeut und salvation of the Indl- vldual will carry him or her to the j point where card, dnuetng and thea. I tree will Hot fascinate, and will he- I come entirely harmless. Social evils and daugers will disappear with the uplifting of the race and its purlflea- tlon. journal HOME I88UE8 VER8U8 IMPER IALISM. Republicans of Marlon county havo enough to do to olect tholr county ticket without injecting tho question of how to govern tho Philippines. If they can keop tholr own county gov ernment in as good running order ns It has been tho laat threo years they will do pretty well. They hnvo broken over the lino $10,000 the post bIx months, and will havo to hold down tho Jobs and salary grafts to keep their pledges to tho peoplo, not to run this county in debt again. Wo bellovo tho bottor element in tho party demands this, nnd the county ticket nominated stands for that, or wc could not sup port thorn. If the candidates on tho county ticket aro tho kind of men who will keop to tho record tholr party has made, and tho legislative ticket is composed of men who will not creato now offices and will not imposo now taxes or raise salaries. Tho candidates will doubtless make thoso matters plain on tho canvass. Charley Fulton scorns to think Oro gon Is not spending onough. Just put Charloy In full control nnd there will not be any reason for complaint. With 124 Republicans arid 123 Dem ocrats voting for tho Cuban reciprocity bill In Congress It was nearly a fu sion.

NATIVE SONS' PICNIC Largely Attended Gathering at Champoeg on Friday Tho basket picnic given near Cham poeg Friday, undor the auspices of tho Matthieu Cabin, Native Sons, of Butte vlllo, was largely attended. The New berg brass band was present, nnd al so pioneers from all sections of the Valloy. Tho picnic was held on tho slto of tho historical meeting held May 2, 1843, when, by n voto of C2 to 50, American sovereignty was declared ovor Oregon. A monument was erect ed about a year ago on tho site. Governor Geer was president of tbe day, and delivered an address eulogiz ing tho men who declared for Initial govornmont in tho Northwest Other addreasoa were mado by Goo. H. HimoB, of Portland; F. X. Matthiou, of Butteville; E. M. Crolsan, John A. Jeffrey and Frank Davoy, of Salem. Thero was speaking both morning and afternoon, a pioneor's sumptuous, old fashioned basket dinner being served at tho noon hour. F. X.

Having accepted to sell out tho large lot of pianos, as per telegram of Jacob Doll in yesterday's papor, to close out as quickly as possiblo at a largo reduction from rogular cost, yes terday wo cleaned and regulated them, and among thorn nro somo entirely now Btylcs. This Is surely a lovely lot of pianos, and I am surprised at tho pricos that aro mndo for mo at which to sell thorn. Thoy aro a treat to seo, oven If a person does not think of buying. Many pianos sold at 37G, $400 and $1C0 aro not ns nlco as these. Thon think, only $283, $201, down to $138. Those pricos aro a small affair to tho others. If you nood a piano In the noxt two or threo yoars It pays you to buy now. Notlco what tho Piano Purchasers' Guldo says of Jacob Doll, manufactur er of thoso Instruments: "Jncob Doll Is ono of tho lnrgest and mo8t ontorprlBlng manufacturers In tho piano induatry, nnd hns an oxton bIvo, finely equipped plant with all tho latest Improvements at Trinity av- onuo, Now York, manufactures up rights and grands.
