FIUME AND DALMATIA. WHAT PARTY MEANS. ' A correspondent recently asked the Oregonian to ex plain the difference between a democrat and a republican. The editor side-stepped the question; merely intimating that the republican party was so eminently superior to the democratic organizations that specifications are whol ly unnecessary. This reply being unsatisfactory, the Ore gonian yesterday argued at length upon the necessity for maintaining political parties in this country, and contend ed naturally that the republican organization is more capable of conducting the government than is its demo cratic rival. While the reasons upon which this conclu sion is based are a little obscure, since both parties in the main are led by intelligent American citizens from var ied walks of life, and, therefore, should be equally cap able of organization and administration, yet we are not disposed to quarrel with the Oregonian on that point. It is of course the personal opinion of the editor, prompted by the natural political prejudices that are handed down from father to son in this country. We are willing to go further and agree with the Ore gonian that political parties are necessary in this country in order to secure effective expression of public opinion. Organization is necessary in politics as well as in religious work or anything else that calls for efficiency in order to produce results. What the Capital Journal does object to, however, is the making of one's political party name a fetish which is worshipped by its devotees on all occasions and regard less of consequences. The party ought to be a means to an end, not the end itself as so many Americans seem to regard it. The best test of citizenship ought to be willing ness to change party allegiance at any time one's party docs not stand for what is best on paramount issues of the times, or when its candidates do not measure up to the proper conception of public duty. Party organization oji such a standard would go far toward guaranteeing the integrity of our government and its institutions. However, the too popular conception of party alleg iance is voiced in the rallying cry of the ward heeler when the campaign opens, "stand by the old party, boys, and in, to '. clr'iiirht I" Tlvit is uliv vvn hnvp inpnmnptmt and dishonest official., machine organization within thc!"1"" whore the principle o icious or valueless laws.

A political party so strong that it becomes virtually a machine is a menace to public interests and voters of all parties would take a keener interest in public affairs, in the primaries and elections, if the contending parties were more evenly balanced and men and women were prone to vote their convictions in stead of their political prejudices.

Iliad What are the facts about Fiume and Dalmatia, for the sake of which Italy has seemed willing to defy the Allies and wreck the peace settlement? The city of Fiume proper is predominately Italian. Its population is officially given as consisting of 15,600 Slavs and 24,200 Italians. It is, as these figures show, a small city. But this census ignores the suburbs of Rus sak, across a narrow river, as much a part of Fiume as Cambridge is of Boston. It has 10,000 Slavs and 1,500 Italians. Other outlying territory that will naturally go along with Fiume when the boundaries are drawn is so overwhelmingly Slav that the demand for Fiume amounts to a demand for the annexation of 100,000 Slavs to 30,000 Italians. Racially, therefore, the Italian claim is not con vincing. The legal claim is no more convincing. Fiume was not promised to Italy, even in the secret treaty with Brit ain, France and Russia, of which so much has been said. It was promised to Croatia, which is now a part of the new Jugo Slav nation. The legal claim to Dalmatia is somewhat better, bas ed on this treaty; Italy was promised certain islands and ports of the Dalmatian coast. Her recent demand, how ever, has been for all Dalmatia, the whole eastern side of the Adriatic, with all the islands, coast and much of the hinterland. In that area, according to official figures, there are less than 18,000 Italians, and 610,000 Slavs. It is clear the principle of self determination of poo- case. As a matter of fact, the Italian claim to Fiume and Dalmatia has very little to do with the '"irrendentist" Bayburn whom I had not seen for a long time. "Where have you kept yourself?" he asked. "I have been to every blessed affair in the hope of meing you, only to be disappointed. Been busy with that wonderful house 1 expect. I henr it is gorgeous. ' ' " Yes, we thing it very handsome. But really it is not the house wnieh is to blame for my remaining at home. Mr. Forbes hu been away a great deal Into ly, mid I seldom if ever go without him." " Foolish lady! does he never go with out youf" A meaning in his suave voice which I ignored, although I felt myself flushing, and to cover my em barrassment I chunged the subject by saving: "Cnn't I set you down wherever you are going f Robert nnd I can easily make room for you." My son was sprawled boy-wise, across the Beat. "Thnnk you that will be an unex pected pleasure. I hnvo an appoint ment at the club. But don't let mo spoil your drive, I hnvo half nn hour yet. ' ' "Then we will go on around tho pnrk before we let you off," I said ns ho took his neat. I hnd lifted Robert up and put him between us. "Is Mr. Forbes at homo nowf" he ashed. "Yes, came back from the west lust night." "His business is prospering, I hear." "Yes but he works terribly hard." I so wanted to add; nnd what else have you heard! "It doesn't pay to pusn one sen too hard. To make money too f;.st." ''What do you mean?" I wonitl draw him out. ''Oh, thnt one misses a lot.
