LITTLE TALKS WITH
' MEN IN OREGON WHO
ARE DOING THINGS
In Portland the other clay I called on Chas, B. Merrick,
In' the Commercial Club Building.
Merrick w tho organizer and practically the whole push of
the Retail Merchants Association of Oregon,
He has a state organization and a state organ.
Ho goes into a town and gets the retailers together, has
a banquet, and teaches them to become civilized.
Ho Instructs them in the gentle art of cutting out de
structive competition, and howt o bury the hatchet.
The retailor is at bottom a human being, He has a heart
and when he is organized it neats in unison even with the
man who is his keenest comostitor.
So Moirick radiates lots of gonuino good will of the Big
Bill Taft stripe.
The rolailers in many towns moet once a month at a
beofsteak dinner, discuss points of common interest and cuss
tho common enemy, who is after all an elusive, disappear
ing, unknown quantity.
Incidentally, Merrick is one of the'best informed politicians
in Oregon.
Thore is not a particle of retrogrossive or reactionary,
back-track blood in his veins.
He fairly tingles with the red corpuscles of progressive
policies. .
Chas. B. Merrick is a fine type of western business man. ,
. That means progress along right linos of intelligence, lines
of tho least wnsto, least, friction and least resistance. j
j
I am glad for; one that Wm. B, Aver threw down the .
iminllol To tho politicians who aie taking the back track in
Portland.
He tolls them fearlessly that it is a mistake to put the Re
publican party in an attitude of hostility to the primary law.
Ayor doos not take to publh speaking, but when lie wiitos
a leltor or talks to a committee thore is something doing,
Out of a bunch of thiity of tho ablest lawyers and busi
noss mon of Portland who ca Tie before the legislature, Ayer
made the talk that cut the ice for the state-built railroad
proposition.
It was the most squaio-toed, clear-cut, incisive businoss
llko talk foi the so-called socialistic railroad amendment that
was hoard before the house committoo.
Aycr's talk carried the amendment before the senate.
Ho now hits light out from the shouldor for the direct
primary law, '
It shall not be smotherod. it shall have fair play.
Tho way to socme paity harmony is for the dominant
party to quit waging wai on the pooplo's law, - i
What some of the old convention bosses cannot got,
through their heads is that Republicans are people, oitizens,
first and partisans afterward.
Tho professional machine politician is a partisan first, a
citizen, a patriot, afterwa.-d.
Hoar Ayer: "Lot us have an united party, but United in ,
upholding tho law, not In destroying it." '
That sounds pretty good fnm a man who is a. business j
man, a citizen, neither partisan 01 sentimentalist neither se
cessionist not eai fighter.
Ami Wm. B. Ayer is a business man in the ssvon figure
dnss. He is not a sidewalk abasing ronr-sciiii1 politician.
A Portland newspaper tries to cry Mr. Ayer down as one
of the little iWes.
The trouble with Ayer seems to lie that bis vlows aie en
tirety beyond the Portland shop size.
That kind of mon are instinotlvoly dreaded by the old
Port and mnohino.
The principal business of that machino for forty year?
has been to magnify pigmias ink) statesmen.
Its other chief industry hits uton to keep me-i. of the
Ayer culibre out of politics,
't has been successful to the extent of Jlqfefitiffi Pctlanrs
in Uiq hands of a mediocre class of orates,! '
The some policy has kept hMtateVWS&n ?tm &eju
i ig tl set vices oi its really big men.
I once heard a negio revivalist describe the bi;tn of the
Savior,
h his exordium he 'shoute i: "An darjay de lubly in
f vit Jesus in the manger, and nobody present but de horned
ox." He eve-i forgot the mother,
At the La Grande Development Congress Tod Rlnohart. the
county assessor of Union county, mndo one of the best
boostor spooches I ovor hoard.
It was full or ginger, optimism and tho real wine of en
thusiasm. It pictured Union county as the Paradise ot tho pi
tlm Hoavon of tho future,
Rinehart roasted the mossbacks, It seems the Willamette
valley has no monopoly.
To discover that fact you have to get out over this great
commonwealth.
Tod was telling of the wonderful work of the Development
Congress in bringing the boosters together,
Then he got off as su6lime a booster remark as was
ever uttered.
"Where two or three are gathered together," said Tod,
"you know we are told in the Good Book, there is always
someone present that's worth while."
It was the brightest eem of the whole congress,
