Cy 'fll HITNEY, the Albany candidate for
(L fLm state-pl'lnter, does not Bay a word in
Jrrv his Albany Ilerald, to The Jouunais
request for him to state what took
place when lie called at this ofllce.
Lie commits a criminal libel and outrages the lib
erty of the press, and', when asked to make a state
ment, is silent. Is such a man fit for a high state of
llce? Is lie a specimen of what a great commonwealth
should exalt into the ofllce that is considered an hon
or to the printing and newspapDr craft?
If he don't want to print the truth in Ids owir
paper, let him send it to this ofllce, and it will be
printed free gratis.
Were you or were you not, Mr. Whitney, asked to
put up one cent by the The Capital ,TouRKATf Say
yes or no.
Is a tongue-tied liar lit for any ofllce?
Whitney has a record for holding up men of his
own party. There are persons in Salem who can tell
all about Mi. Whitney trying to hold up a 'Republican
candidate for judge in this district for $100.
Mr. Whitney should" face his own statement that
Thb Journal supports only candidates it can hold up
under threat of blackmail. That seems to be Mr. Whit
ney's idea of journalism.
As he has made this accusation let him tell wheth

penny of him or not. Come, 'fess up.

Rudimentary Polities
fr 'UDGI3 GEO. II. WILLIAMS in a Portland
JL' speech is reported thus:
a j "He hud no expectation of receiving the votes
of the laboring men who are Democrats, but
he could not think of anything he had ever done that
gave the Hcpublicans who are laboring men cause for
voting against him."
Scientists tell us there are on the sides- of our
heads traces of rudimentary muscles with which we
formerly moved our ears.
The above utterance proves that Geo. II. Wil
liams lias not progressed beyond thut rudimentary
stage of partisanship which appeals 'onlj for partisan
.support.
If elected he would give Portland a partisan and
not a business administration. Poor old man !
Omar Khayyam, Jr.
i
-grk EUUAPS one of the cleverest tilings in that
111 epoch making joke, "The Love Sonnets of
!' a Hoodlum," was "An Inside-Con to Re
fined Guys," a bit of prefatory jingle,
which was typical of all the condensed sauciness of
Wallace Irwin's "antic Muse." It comes rather as a
shock to us, then, to note that Wallace Irwin lias be
come himself a "refined guy" and 'has cut out slang
altogether in his latest book "The Hubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam, Jr.," (Elder and Shepard,'San Francisco.)
This poem is couched in the most exalted language.
No slang for Omar Khayyam, Jr. oh ! my, no ! There
is no-half -way business about Mr. Irwin. When he is
a hoodlumhis rag-time vocabulary isstifllcientlysynco
pated to make Mr. Ado appear almost commonplace,
but when he becomes a "refined guy" the sensuous par
lance of Swinburne is mere slang by comparison.
When -the Hoodlum's btfok came before the'ptiOlib
it cariod a more direct message, perhaps, than many a
more serious work ever dared to carry. It showed us
convincingly how the. long reverenced sonnet could be
come an "easy mark" and a "carry all for brain fag
wrecks" and it will ifvo as a protest against the use of
the sonnet form as a vehicle for mediocre thought
"Tlio,llubiat of Omar Khayyam, Jr.," too; has brought
a clatter of raillery about the heads of the Imitators
who Will not let Fitzgerald's beautiful translation
alone. To quote from Mr. Irwin's mock serious intro intre intro
ducteon1: "Slnco the publication of Edward Fitzgorald'tf
classic translation of the Rubaiyat in 1851 or rather
slnco its general popularity several years later poets
'minor and major have been rendering the sincefest
form of flattery to the genius of the Irishman who
brought Persia into the best, regulated families. Un
fortunately there were scores of imitators who, in
order to make the astromoner go round, were obliged
to draw him out to the thinness of DulssncV Magic
Sh'Ui. While all this was going on the present Editor
was 'forced to conclude that the burning literary need
was. not for more translators but for more' Omar's to
translate j' and what was his surprise to note that 'the
work of a later and superior Omar Khayyam waH
lying undiscovered in the wilds of Ilorneo!"
Omar Khayyam, Jr., sedils to.have been an Invet
erate smoker. If Fitzgerald's Omar took his inspira
tion from'Wine, Irwin's Omar certainly owed much of
his poeticlfrenzy to the narcotic effects of tobacco,-for
the book abounds in praises of the wcod-Muul -many
of these lines one cannot help admiring' for their real
poetic beauty.

SPURIOUS
LEADERSHIP
F
THE
REPUBLICAN
Oregon Should Repudiate Six'Bit Sockeye Salmon Statesmanship-An
Arrangement of the Fulton-Furnish-Brownell-Matthews Combination.
OhkooN' City, May; 31. At the request of the Cit
izen's County Central Committee, Col. E. Ilofer, edi
tor of Tun JouiLNATi, has been delivering a few ad
dresses for the Citizen's ticket in this county. He
closes the campaign for the Citizen's here this evening.
The Republicans are holding a rival meeting tonight
at which Senator Brownell, who is making the effort
of his life to be reelected to the senate and is also a
candidate for the United States senate, is to speak.
At Milwaukie Col. Ilofer devoted himself entirely to
state affairs, exposing the record of the leaders of the
Jack Matthews faction, in part, as follews:
NOT A POLITICAL CONTEST.
The struggle in Oregon is purely an economic one.
The fight is for good government and a change in our
state revenues and to rebuke the reckless faction that
has trampled under foot all rules of political decency
in state affairs, an element that is proven positively
unfit to take charge of every detail of our state govern
ment by its own records. The Democratic platform
does not attack the policies of President Roosevelt.
The Democratic leaders have not attacked the Repub
lican state administration half as bitterly as the fac
tion did" that made war on Governor Gecr, to prevent
his renomination and now makes war on him because
he has had the temerity to let his name go before the
people as a candidate for the United States senate.
Hundreds of the best old-line Republicans say the way
to wipe the Republican party out of existence in Ore
gon is to elect Mr. Furnish governor. Say to the peo
ple that the Republican party is at the mercy of its
very worst elements and incapable of responding to
the demand for a clean business administration.
These men say elect Chamberlain and help put on the
brake that will keep our party from going deadlong
over the precipice of political self-destruction. A
vote for Chamberlain is not a vote to throw away the
Philippines when that vote is accompanied by a vote
to elect a United States senator who stands squarely
on the Republican platform. The American people
will never haul down the flag in the Philippines until
as it was dono- with Cuba, it gives place to hotter
conditions, greater liberty and freer institutions than
it found when it was raised.
TromWOR. REAL LEADERSHIP.
At a time when the greatest national .prob
lems are confronting the Republican party it
has to put it worst leadership to the fore. The trust
evils involving millions of wealth, the government of
remote island territories; the construction of am inter
orourie'im'iurti'tho revision of our protective tariff, the
inauguration of a more rational legislative and exec
utive policy for the state government, the putting
into effect qf the now Direct Legislative systom to be
adopted by the pcophy-ull these things required on
the pjirtof the Republican party its ablest, wlwwt and
best statesmen. The convention trampled all such
men under foot and put up a candidate for Govornar
who has never been known as a Republican but for
a few years on one issue and then only as an aspirant
for ofllce, Leaving the Democratic party for the ben
efit (aa.hu claimed) of his banking Miiou he was
immeditaely honored with the position of Presidential
elector and .then in two years demanded the highest
ofllce in the gift of the state. Surrounding this mani
festation of Democratic desire for ofllce with unseemly
haste, are a cotorie of men who have been mostly free
silverites when that would carry the state and so no
torious for truckling with every great question that
the state government would be positively unsafe in
tlieiiv hands. In the great struggle (hat is coming on
between that party and the trust kings, if the
matter had to be decided by the Oregon delegation in
a state or national convention and the present leader
ship of the party constituted that delegation, does
anyone who knows their record doubt for a moment
that several fifteen-cent Judases would be found to
sell their country for the promise of an ofllce or cold
cash? This is the time to stain) out the spurious
leadership of the party.
A BUSINESS PROGRAM FOR OREGON.
Oregon needs a real leadership of men who will
give us a business program such as cannot be gotten
from men who have the above record in their own com
munities and in 'the legislature that was fully under
their control. Oregon needs a clean-up of its state
houHQ'from top to bottom a cutting off of 50,000 il
legal and unconstitutional fees and perquisites now
taken annually by state olllcials, and a cutting off of a
half-million of grafts in the legislature. Enact it flat
salary law and pass some revenue bills that will tax
the gross earnings of corporations enjoying state
franchises and not. now taxed. This would reduce
state taxes fifty per cent within a year. Rut we might
as.well expect Emersonian philosophy from a digger
Indian as such a program from the apostles of loot
now constituting the leadership of Oregon Republican
ism. This leadership must be overthrown and driven
out of control before a business program can be in
augurated for our commonwealth. The Republicans
who have started in for the purification and chastise
ment of their party will never turn back until this
fight lias been won.
TO RE KNOWN BY THEIR FRUITS.
This new spurious luiulurohip'of the Republican
party needs to bo examined closely atlmino to under
stand its real character. What can the Furnish
machine show in Umatilla county but great debtH and
high taxes? (heater debts and higher taxes still are
piled up by the Brownell machine In Clackamas coun
ty. But highest taxes and greatest indebtedness of all
stands to the credit of the Fulton machine in Olataop
county, where a great deal of property pays fifty-one
mills taxes and the annual interest charge is about
$20,000, with the total debt nearly four hundred thou
sand dollars.
But greatest of all Is tlio outrage porjotratcd by
this same faction in the last legislature when under
their leadership appropriations were oxpanded" un
til the state revenue required this year is over one mil
lion, and the Oregon tax levy for state purposes i the
highest of any stale in the union T 4 mills a mag
nificent advertisement of boodle poll ties for a state
that is seeking immigration and the development of
now enterprises.
THE MA RION COUNTY PROTEST
Has a record for achievement in good government
back of it. The Salem Republicans who overthrew
their own parly push to pull the capital city out of the
mire of rotten political methods, the Marion county
Republicans who have established the model county
government of Oregon having the lowest current ex
ponsesrpor capita, wiping out $100,000 debt in llu'co"
years and creating a cash surplus with a ! reduced-tux
rate these are not the men to take their cue from
Juck .Matthews, the present state chairman. No six
bit sock-eyed salmon statesmanship will satisfy their
aspirations for progress when they are pluming their
wings fOr higher flights in the direction of hut tor Re
publicanism. They take no lessonslnclvlcduty from the
purlieus' of tiie fourth ward of the worst governed city
on the coast. These men within the lines of the Re
publican party of Marion county are far" bettor1 fitted
to hold 'the reins of the state government than the
petty pee-weo politicians brought to the surface in
struggling debt ridden communities up or down the
Columbia.
WORK OF A BUSINESS DELEGATION.
In 1803 Multnomah county sent up a husiucss-dcJU
egatiou of state senators composed of Simon, MuCkay,
Bates, Selling and-1 lazeltine. These men gave Oregon
the most conservative and careful body of business
law-makers that this state ever had. They killud tlm
sugar beet graft of $2n0,000, broke the back of the
text-book trust and gave Portland wholesome reforms
in city and county. Fulton and Brownell made de
cent records in that somite when surrounded by good
safe solid Republicans, and when they were conspicu
ously in the minority, and could not do any harm he
cause they were not in the saddle. Harvey Scott
headed a petition to send that delegation of business
senators to Snlem and one of its members became
United Stales senator and every vote lie cast was in ex
act harmony with the principles advocated by the Ore
gouiau until ita recent flop. Has the Republican par
ty got to turiidtself inside out every time Mr. Scott has
a. bad dream? The pnr should stand by the better
leadership of former y urs and repudiate the men the
Oregonian always condemned. Multnomah- and
Glngkumus should send up a Citizens' delegation this
year.
A ROAST FOR BROWNELL.
Oregon Is going to have direct nomination of can
didates, direct legislation, higher ideals and lowur
taxes. A chastised and purified Republicanism will
conduct our state and county government, make tin
provemontK, restore property values and become the
fore-runner of n more prosperous commonwealth. But
this will not le done by demagogues waving the flag,
protending to bo the friend of the poor man, mid the
protector of the country. The people of Clackamas
county hare neen this kind of statesmanship spreading
like a green-hay tree, appealing to the sanscoulottes
to' heap yet greater burdens on the taxpayers, offer
ing tha votanf "bread and a circus an In-Hlio duys of
Uia downfall qftJio Roman Umpire, flaying in th0 log
Mature that spending money for uselosa clerkship
Dispels the eracklinn huu of ninht. nt w
And, foggy-aureolcd, the Smoke reveal
The Poppy Flowers that blossom from thv Weed?'. .
Between Smoke and Kisses the poet's love seems to
be about equally divided as note the followinir :
"A mirrniic lingers in a tea, you sayf
Yes; blif ivhclt he nibbles in a pleasant Way- J
Rather than.in the Pipe and Telephone
Hotter to cateh him Kissing and bo gay.'
The unusual construction or these rubni.vat are
worth studying. As a rule they start out with the
most poetic intentions, keep up tlio lick for two or
three lines, then come down at the last with a bang,
tumbling the reader out of the balloon of. ideality and
landlngJiim with a bump on the rude soil!bf reality.
This is done so skilfully that you forgive the author
nt once and arc ready to take another fall "with every
now stanaa. For example:
'7 can forgive the Oaf who nothing knows
And glories in the llubblo that he blows
And while yon wrestle blindly with tho World
He whistles on his. Fingers and his Toes."
Mr. Irwin "whistles on his Fingers and his Toes"
and does other surprising gymnastics which tend to
add to tho gayety of literature. Ho is mad with a sur
prising degree of sanity mid a good part of ids rubnl-
yat- shows what a healthful form of wisdom nonsense
may become. The "Love Sonnets of a Hoodlum" was
a bright promise, and tho Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Jr., Ib certainly well on tho road to fulfillment. The
book is aptly illustrated by eight startling freak draw
ings by Goiett Burgess and is made complete by a set
of slyly pompous notes which are a side splitting
satire on all tho schools. Published by Elder and
Shcpard, San Francisco. Prico 50 cents net.

Tills leadership in the last general nssumbly to the
tune of $22,000 reaped the fruit of a sham-reform bill
to regulate the clerkship abuse at the previous ses
sion by this faction, ill 1805 wo run tlio House with
$;ifi0() for clerks. They pussed a bill making road
supervisors elective by the people and then take the
power to build the roads out of tho hands of the chos
en servants of the people and vest it in an appointed
county road engineer and pay him a salary that would
gravel 10 miles of road. They kill thofellow-servant bill
and every measure to raise revenue ami then double
nearly every appropriation. These men are the only
real anarchists and enemies of popular government in
Oregon.- They make a mockery of self-government
by the people. They parade as moral reformers aud
then attack the same laws they pass In the courts on
tho grounds of their unconstitutionality. They favor
di recti Jlegislatiou and direct nomination aud then
when tho people are given a chance to express them
selves on Hniled States senator they refuse to abide
by the expressed will of the people. U'lils false leader
ship of the Hopubllcan party the very men who had,
enacted this law to trample it under foot nt the llrst
opportunity was treason to popular government which
put lleucdicl Arnold in the kindergarten class.

The people need expect nothing else than the di
vision of tho state Into two states to make room for

people can prepare to bid farewell to all hopes of de

Snvllrownell, it is reported, has openly said he would
rather Ik chairman of the railrond cmuniitice in the
Senate than hold any stato or federal office In Oregon.
Only voters who d not uudowtand the full mean

make the effort of his life to be rotnjned to a ?I'J(
