TEE HIGHEST TBIB'CrS'AIi.
THE OHEGOX JO lUX AL is still ki;Eing at the supreme eonrt because
that body decided that the people having given away their property can
not now take it back. It seems unable to place the blame where it prop
erly belong,, the legislature, ami insists that the supreme court should
hare corrected the legislature's mistake. Xo doubt the supreme court
would have done this willingly, if it could, but it was not making law, only
pointing out what those laws were. The legislature deliberately gave away the
people's property, and the people by their silence acquiesced in the gift. The
supreme court, when the matter was presented to it, decided, and held that it
could do nothing towards undoing what the legislature had done.
The Journal keeps insisting that the people's rights hare been frittered
away, and it is correct; but since that is a fact, why kick at the supreme
court! That body did not do the frittering. The Journal is showing keen hind
sight, but what 'i the nse J If it could be made the final court of appeal the
matter could soon be settled the way the Journal would have it, but it would
not be settled right, for that paper would, in order to correct one mistake, or
worse) commit an unpardonable injustice to protect the people against their
own act.
We have frittered away our school lands,, and we are letting private inter
ests get away with the people's most valuable property, its water power, but
neither the Journal nor any other paper in the state, except the Capital Jour
nal, has ever even mentioned the subject!. Before Ioog this valuable property
will have all passed into the hands of private interests, and then the Journal
will no doubt lift np its voice in lugubrious nliilations, and vociferous com
plaint when some future supreme court holds that the people having deliberate
ly given their property away, cannot again take it away from those who have
become its owners by the deliberate act of the people. The Oregon Journal
bunch is either wilfully perverse or wofufly stupid, and perhaps both.
FOB THE NEXT CHEEBT PAIS.
NOW IS THE TIME to prepare for the next Cherry Fair, at least to the
extent of holding an in piest on the one now gone into history, to take
note of the mistakes made in its management, and to jot down for cor
rection next year. There were several mistakes of a really serious char
acter that next year should be avoided. One of these was the inexcusa
ble delays in the starting of events. There was not a single feature, as we re
call the fair, that was started when it was advertised to start. The parade was
late, and crowds grew weary waiting. It was the same with everything else.
The band concert and the illumination o( the fountain was advertised to take
place at T o'clock Friday, while the sua was still shining, and it actually began
about 9. Of course those who understood how Salem committees pay attention
to time knew that 7 o'clock meant any time after dark, and so did not go to
the grounds until nearly 9. But there were many who did not understand it
and put in an hour or two waiting.
Another thing was the lack of publicity. It was almost impossible to learn
anything about the time or place of anything. The baby parade was changed1
from the time originally set for it, and then it was changed back again, and
many got fooled as to the time and so- missed it. This is not mentioned in fault
finding spirit, but only noted as some of the things to avoid next year. The
committees worked hard and accomplished much, but a little foresight as to
giving out information would have been gratifying, and added to the pleasure
of the great celebration.
THE BEIXIGEEEUT COLONEL.
same boot with the Liana senatorial microbe. Even our George, the doughty
senator from f'Een's back dooryard. the state of Oregon, is not a can.li.iate for
the presidency. There are others in the same diffident class. Oregon in fact ,
has not just now within her broad borders anyone who is out for the presiden
tial nomination. Of course, Lf Will E. King should slip ap on his present job,
he might possibly be willing to be consider.! a candidate, as he has tonsented
to try for any other old place anil isused to it.
STATDTS TACTS, NOT BELIEFS.
T
HE SO'DAY OREGOXIAX takes The Capital Journal to task for saying
that neither President Taft nor Eoosevelt appointed Democrats to of
fice. The Oregonian is la a way correct, for both of these presidents
appointed some Democrats to otnee, out cney were so lew as in oe a
negligible- quantity. The Capital Journal s statement was on the whole
correct, for the appointments were so few and far between that they were
simply "the exceptions that proved the rule."
The Oregonian is badly mistaken In its interpretation of the Capital Jour
nal 's position, since it thinks that it wants all Republicans put out and Demo
crats only put on guant If there is one thing more than another that this
paper is not interested in, it is the selection of federal officers. It does not
believe that a man's politics make him either a good or a bail officer. It be
lieves that outside of certain officers who are carrying out the political affain
of the party in power, that men not politics, should be the measure by which
selections should be made. The statement that to- the victors belong the
spoils," is a statement of fact, not of belief. It is not the best system, it is
not even a good system, but so long as political parties carry oa campaigns as
is done at present, no other system seems possible.
We carry on our politics as we manage the liquor q-iestion, the social or
sex question and a good many others.not in a very sensible way, but we are
apparently forced to take the course we do.
Theoretically it would be right, once the election was over, for the suc
cessful party to name men for office regardless of how they voted, but select
ing them for their fitness alone. Practically, no party can hold together that
does not pass the pie. This is not a goxl or wise way, but it is the only way
in which the "workers" can be made to get in and work, and that is what
each party wants. It is not good business, not good for the country, but it
seems to be, if not good politics, at least the only kind of politics that win,
and that is the kind that both parties are looking for.
Hp
THE SPEECH made by Col. Roosevelt July tth, shows that the country
was exceptionally fortunate in not selecting him for the presidency. The
Colonel has blood in his eye all the time and is never so happy as when
scrapping. He is a great believer in a big army, and a powerful navy.
He says that they are a necessity to the American people, and that if we
do not have them that someone, sometime, will come over here and capture
the whole caboodle of us.
The Colonel's disposition would have gotten us into trouble with Mexico,
ami we would now be in the midst of a serious war. His scrappy disposition
would have inevitably brought this war about, and there is or was absolutely
no occasion (or it. It may be that circumstances will yet force fuels Samuel to
t intervene in Mexico, but it will be when we have had much more serious rea
sons therefor tlian have so far material i.cd.
The Colonel wants at least two battleships a year and the necessary small
craft tost go with them. He wants them as t preventive, admitting that there
is no immediate use for them. In fact, the Colonels ideas are somewhat like
the Texan's, who believes it absolutely necessary to ''tote a gun." There are
many who still admire the obstreperous Teddy, but the great majority do not
endorse his tire-eating tendencies and aggressive spirit. He has gone across the
political sky like a comet, and like that occasional visitor will never come
back.

X-RAYS.
The Capital Journal knows absolutely
nothing of Mayor Albee, either good or
or bad, other than what it has read of
him, and that was all of a very flatter
ing character, but, in the face of this,
it predicts that Portland will regret se
lecting him as mayor.
Col. Roosevelt having demonstrated
to his own satisfaction that President
Wilson's peace policies are wrong, the
country generally will have much more
confidence that President Wilson is
i right.
