Ill ut the thoator Friday night, dead tindsr ether Tuesday aftornoon. Thus Is ohronloleil tho swift pawing away of W. C. Whitney, of New York. Tbo ox-Hw)rotary of the Navy under President Cleveland was descend il from the old and Illustrious MaisochusettH family of Whitney. His Kreatest work was beginning the construction of our present itavy. He laid the foundation of the armament at sea that made vic tory over 8paln easily possible. f Whitney was a man of Brent wealth and position, and yot a man of the people. Ho was loyal and warm-hearted In his politics, a lovor of sports, A MAN WHO WOULD FIGHT FOR A FRIEND, AND WHO HAD NO ENEMIES. To hhow lils warm Impulslvo nature, only a few days hoforo his last ' lllnofui ho was in a town In his nntlvo state; a Are broke out nearby, and Whitney personally took a hand In extinguishing tho flames. Ho encouraged, organized and led the firemen as coolly and as surely an ho led the Democratlo hosts to victory In two presidential cam-,-palgns. OREGON'S GOVERNOR WA8 FIRST. Now that Democratic sonator aro swinging Into lino for tho Panama vnal troaty, It should bo recalled that Governor' Chamborlalu was tho tint to tnko that patriotic stand, Tho next day after Iloosovolt declared for tho recognition of tho Punoniu republic the doughty Democratic Oovomor of Oregon flatly wdil ItoosoYoU Was right. ' Tha Journal Is pleased lo soo ono nftor anoUisr of tho Intelligent and Itilluontlnl Democrats In tho national congress ondorso his position. Tlioro was novor a great national rrisls that progrosslvo Domoorats riMild not bo found' to talo a stnnd for right ovsn If it was against twrtr. A DIRECT PRIMARY THAT IS RIGHT. Tie framing or a direct prlmnry nomination law that Is right Is a very Imixirtaul matter to the people. The U'lleu-Woods bill that Ib to be submitted by tho inltlatlvo Is hot right It has iwrlous and grave defects, that will cause Us rejec tion. Hut It submission and agitation will develop sentiment for direct iminlimtlan even If this bill Is defeat). , A bill that propose to abolish pHtical corruptions Is chimerical, be WNtHi contentions were n step toward popular rights. A dlreut primary bill thut Is right will not take awny any existing lirlvllettm or abridge the rights of Individuals or parties. Tho Oregonlan cltos dlroot nomination as adopted by the Ilepubll uw at the KaIsiii city election. That direct primary was conducted at the expense of the aspirants tor nomination not at the expense of tha taxpayers. Tho UltenWoods direct primary Is to be at public expense.

Why not silence all disagreeable inquiries by a generous act of good husinosa faith that would bo understood and appreciated by tho depos itors and the public as well, and concludo an episode Ib tho history of Creator Salem that would bo highly creditable? NO ROOM FOR DEPRESSION. In spite of tho usual forecasts of depression In a presidential elec tion year, the sag in prosperity doos not matorlallzo. An energetic, aggrosslvo President llko Roosevelt has much to do with this bracing condition of things. Under a weaker administration It might become possible. Stocks are advancing, tho produce market is stiffening, wheat is go ing to tho dollar mark, nnd all trado is holding up flrstrato. Thore Is no financial issue Involved In this campaign, although there may be before the year Is up. Our financial system Is not perfect and the Secrotary of tho Treasury Is not considered a strong man. There should bo no ripping up of tho industries ovor tho tariff ques tion.' Let well enough alone. Our exports aro not falling off. Harrlng an unexpected financial collapso, and the Improvement of the Iron trade almost precludes that, thore Is a bright business prospect ahead of tills nation for 1004. BUILD A PERMANENT ROAD! The committee In charge of the South Salem street improvement should consider nothing but a permanent street improvomont A roadway honestly constructed of proper material should be good for fifty years, If cared for properly. Tho supply of broken rock Is Inexhaiistlblo south of tho city. Tho supply of clay is Inoxhaustlble for making brick roadways. There Is no excuse for spending any more public money on dirt roads or rotten gravel roads. Give us broken rock or brick.

It Is gravely nnnounced that Senator Brownoll was In town tho othor day, "and nobody had a fit." And It wns remarkable. Such a thing couldn't havo happoned In tho dayg whon "Ilrownoll, Kuykondall nnd Co." woro about the worst over. Salem Statesman. Our readers will pormlt us to suggest that thoro aro few things as laudnblo as promoting harmony and doing Justice to polltlcnl oppononts, Tho Journal will confoss It has not always had tho highest admira tion for Sonntor Urownell and Kuykendall. But why not at times admit your were mistaken In your estimate of a public man? Othors havo boon mistaken In us nnd wo presume the same has boon tme with Editor Geer. But why not try to see some good even In Senator Brownell or Geer? A rovlow of the formor's legislative record compels us to rovlso somo of our sovoro condemnations of him as a politician. And wo aro not so small but that wo confess to a real pleasure In having to ralso our estimation of a public man. Ho Is entitled to credit for tho passage of his bill to exompt from at tachment thirty days' wages of worklngmon. Ho fought through tho senate th0 Inltlatlvo nnd 'referendum amend mont. He unearthed the $32,000 school land defalcation. He championed the direct primary bill at the last session and will do It again. Tho editor of 'tho Statosman has been In tho legislature and was spenkor, but has he any such achievements to his ercdlt ns a legislator? In our humblo way wo shall doall In our power to harmonize the Re publican party In this Presidential year. We are also not above doing Justice to those we may formerly have differed from politically. Farming and Horticulture.
