WHERE IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ATT Tho editor of The Journnl who like to t Indtpondent In all his utterance linn road nil the speeches of tho Domocratlc politician at tho Harmony banquet and Ut tho Jack on day banquet tn ascertain what are the line of cleavage with In the Deraocratlo party that will weaken It most In the coming national cam- jialga. Ah a chain Is no stronger than Its weakent link, to n political party Is mo stronger Umn It weakest planks, mi wkwr titan the mos; puerile of Us leadership, and no more resourceful lb nn Ita Mgaelty In the aggregate. There are certain Inherent weak H0MM In eyory political parly and there are two points whore the Demo arntlo political program always broabH down In nntlonal affairs. Ono Is Ita'lncllnatlon to take up spasmodic npnnallonal, freak leadership. The Other Is to pom merely n a negation 111 ftUUosmftUHhlp, a mere drew pa rado of opposition. Lot uu confine theso tests of tho pnrty'a wraknom to the organization la Oregon There has not been a campaign In Oregon for tho Inst ten v.par whon tho Dniocrats had a ghost of a show of wluidng whon tha tfhauco has not boon thrown awny ljy Importing (realm of outelde parties 111(0 Oyelopo DavlH and other wild ayed, Insubstantial, transient and ijootloj pdlltldians. , Tho Oregon' platforms have- boon loaded down with tho rnklngtt and araplugs of political miscegenation, lie onstoff motley wardrobe material of the Jack Cades of third and fiurlh parties, and In those masquer nilwi hnth the' democracy marched (prill to deserved defent at tho hands if Us own voters who did not rewg njse tho venwnblo dam In her bo JjragKlod variegated kickshaws, her pother Hubbard of Dolly Vanlon tatern and Mr plumage picked out of the RarbiiKH heaps of past politics. Not until Governor Chamberlain Appeared as n state leader were the lhrva-coliiinn long. craty-qullt. patch work pint forms rolegated to oblivion and thj lajwhalrod and longer-winded freak eampSlgner kept out of tho welifoot commonwealth. It la a fact Jliat has not generally bmn made jmWHc that all the danroue Wo- Juewe of the Deweomtte party was etttttb up In that enwplgn. Sam Vktte wh kept busy ut heathtuartere Q.

In the flr.it swallow-Might of Demo cratic campaign oratory there Is the nme dividing Uno between horse acttm and the fatalistic pre-dlsposl-tlon to ommlt harlkarl. While the Coack, lule-or-rtiln ele ments have sounded the tocsin of warfare along the old lines of frea trade. antl-lmperlallsm, general oppo eltlon for the sake of opposition, Gov ernor cnamuenain nns ionn mo stand of the newer and more intelll- lent Democracy, that nanus ior what Is right and hacks affirmative propositions. In the campaign when he was lectd he stood for the retention of tlie Philippine, and boldly declared that Jefferson was the llrst expansion ist and that the older Democratic pla'form several times declared for thf annexation of Cube. He frankly told the Democrats he could not see for the life of him why any Democrat should oppose expansion or should ever he willing to roe the flag come down whero It had once been placod by the valor of American arms. Whllo lenders like Snm White and the many-Initialed Wood Were declar ing that Home day the Islands should be returned to the holomen of the Philippines and that this government had committed an outrage on tho seml-hreoch clouted, saddle-colored Colombians of South Amorlca, Cham berlain want thorn one bettor nnd de clared In the spirit of Andrew Jack son that the President was to be com mended and sustained for his efforts at recognizing the I'annma Republic, and that the people of those one-home Republics should not be permitted to stand In the way of display of enter prise and progress an tho part of the American people that was demanded by the whole world. Chamberlain had expressed that view the day after President Rooso Velt took his action, and declares now thnt any political party In this coun try that lays a straw In tho way of the I'annma canal Is doomed to de feat. Since thon a number of south ern states have declared In favor of the canal. Kvory southorn state and evory Pacific state that pays trlbuto to tho transcontinental rallroadB should favor a competitive systom ot transportation such as will bo oponed up whon the canal Is built. Any man with tho perspicacity of u waterdog born nnd roarod in a mudpuddle should be nblo to undor stand tho folly of politician trying to make political capital opposing such a proK)tlon. Tho rank nnd fllo of the Democratic party are constantly underrated by lu windbag leader ship that Is patterning after an en tire misconception of the polltlcnl history and purpose of the Demo cratic party which wa ever to pro mote the cpmmon welfare of tho mneees of the people and break down monopolies nnd systems that enrich the few with speolal privileges. This misconception seeoms to be the prin cipal stock In trade of the Demo cratic leaders In Oregon ,wlth the ax coptlon of Chamberlain. Politics Ih becoming more and more a matter of business and tho political party that parades the victims of con stant political self-oxproselou which they mlntako for statesmanlike wis dom and oratory dooe not know where It Is at. Tho Democratic party oi uregon must bring ltn mora prac Ural and thoughtful men to the front and stop playing the iwrt of a mere fwUiy stopgap and uncorretated ob trti tioalit. The Journal as an Independent wapaHr believe In the policy of a strong and vigilant opposition, and Mgrete to the Democratic party dffumte Into a shadowy army of oidrnppo4Ht.Nl grave-digger, that da nut riw to th dignity of an Intelli gent American political body corpor ate.

"Intoresi appeared, therefore, when Editor Geer, of the Statesman, ac cused Editor Hofer, of The Journal of oxcoesos In tho line of strawber ries and sauer kraut. "It was covortly suggested that Colonel Hofer produced some of his best work whon under the Influence of theso stimulants.

All It was ov or agitated for was to mako political points for politicians. Tho characteristic expression of Senator Hrownoll was that It didn't make much difference what had be- como of it. At this the moralist of the Oregon- Ian, and some other Itepublicnn pa pers elevated their nostrils nnd snorted at HrownelPs Irreverence. The truth Is Drownell oxprossed Just whnt ovory othor Republican pol itician and editor, wlfi a few oxcop tlone, believed, nnd dnred not say. In the bottom of thoir hearts they shed no tears ovor tho disappearance of tho nrrtl-gambllng bill, but woro glad It had gono Into ebllvion. Drownell said flatly and bluntly nnd honestly that ho didn't onro what went with tho bill. This tho rost of thorn felt, but, from forco of habit, got busy doing the tenr-shoddlng act to dccolvo thoir religious constltu onts, If constantly deceived victims of pseudo-morality can bo callod that. Why not bo honost about It,. and ndmlt thnt tho Uopubllcan party gets Its largo majority at Portland, nnd lu somo of tho othor cltlo of this state, from tho votes of what aro called the gambling olomont? That olomont gonorally acts for Its own protection with tho domlnnnt party. In the South tho high-toned Damo crntlc party roorults Its majorltlos among the largo numbef of poreona wno one way and nnother gamble. Tho gambling passion Is less hnrm ful nmong tho Amorlcnn peoplo than among any othor race. In Kngland gambling nnd betting Is almost un. versal. legislation will nffoct the matter very llttlo, until tho masses, even of Christian pooplo, como to learn that thoro Is no olomont of chance In roal Ity, and thnt tho world is ruled by law.

The prune markot has not been very satisfactory In Western Oregon, and It Is not easy to understand tho situa tion. Tho newspapers have been liberally filled with articles omanntlng from tho managers of the pruno growers' com bination. The Inside of the real situation Is, however, never disclosed by thsso publications. It is assumed that the mnnngers of the pool are directly Interested in a favorable-disposition of the product. Yet oxactly the contrnry might bo the fact, and ovory ono bo deceived by newspaper publications.
