on Tuesday, December 4, celebrating
its fiftieth anniversary. AS this date
may be said to mark almost the be-
ginning of journalism in the Pacific
Northwest, the newspaper press OF the
tier of states embraced in this portion
of the vast Pacific empire should take
a hand in the celebration, making it
a memorable event, worthy of the
occasion. The Oregonian has been IL
powerful factor in the progress of the
coast, and in recognizing its ability
and persistence in pushing ahead the
interests of civilization, the newspaper

the famine in India is not caused by
the lack of food, but the lack OF money
Now if the people OF this and other
countries will stop this foolish bust
ness of shipping food over to these
starving people, and send them cash
instead, the death rate will at once be
misunderstanding to this eminent

much easier they could eat the money
than the corn and other stuff that is

all. When one Injuries the rest it in
jures itself. For we are all woven to-
gether in this wonderful civilization,
with all the forces of organized life,
except when thrown out of gear, work
ing with infinite harmony like the
oiled and polished parts of perfect

result that finished product called

Why should the spirit of editors

Why should the spirit OF editors be
proud. Print is up a hundred per
cent, type forty, ink thirty and the
delinquent subscriber still ever present
Poor deluded sons of modern serfdom
the editors, wherefore do you eat? II
we lie, cheat and labor not surely we
should not eat and the right to pride
is delinquent. Pride is before a fall,
we read, and no editor should fall I'M
less it be ON the delinquents before
mentioned. The end of time will find
editors, with Or without pride, but a
more important question is will it be
with or without sense, we'uns now are
mostly. For we cut prices and gain
not, we cheer for the type trust and
paper trust and ink trust and the de-
linquent trust and all of them fall on
us heavily. We use cheap ready made
"letters" and editorials landing the
praises of some politician who laughs
at our simplicity. Yes, the editor has
much to make him proud.

Antagonism invites antagonism. A
fostered dislike or an anticipated fric-
ton sends out a shalt in advance
which rebounds and rebounds with
quickening vibrations. If one is look
ing for impertinence from any source
he will be pretty sure to find it, but if
he carries mind and heart free from
prejudice, which is the condition of
emancipation, the shaft will not be
unloosed, and the disturbing vibrations
will not occur. ...

POLITICAL CHANGES.

1t is sometimes cast as reproach
against public man that he has
abandoned his party and joined him
self to the organization which once he
opposed most earnestly. The reproach
may be just, as when a man shifts to
the opposite party in consequence OF
a personal grievance, or for any other
petty reason.
In most cases, because most public
men are guided by principle and con-
viction, a change OF party by promin-
ent politicians and by individual voters
alike is honorable and praiseworthy.
New issues are constantly coming be-
fore the people. When any question
becomes important, it is proper for
every man who disagrees with his own
party to join himself to the other
party if it represents his opinions, and
ii he believes it will carry those opin-
ions into effect.
Four years ago it was reasonable
and proper for every republican who
desired the free coinage of silver to
break away from his political associa-
tions, and to vote for Mr.. Bryan. It
is always the duty of men who think
the suppression OF the sale of liquor
the greatest of all political issues to
leave the party with which they may
be acting and join the prohibitionists.
The movement from one party to
another is usually greatest in the year
| of presidential election, because then
the aims and purposes OF parties are
authoritively set forth in the plat
forms adopted by the national con-
ventions. This year, for example, the
issue OF free silver silver, which domi-
mated all the rest in 1896, bids fair to
be quite subordinate to others, if, in
deed, it is to be an issue at ALL The
| relations OF the country to its new
island possessions have suddenly be-
come the most prominent OF all ques-
tions; and next in Importance is the
matter of the suppression or control
of the so-called trusts.
1t is natural and excusable that any
man who thinks that his party takes
wrong position on these issues should
change his political associations. The
man who takes his conscience rather
than habit for his guide in public af-
fairs is to be praised, not blamed.

Seven states will hold elections prior
to the presidential election of next
November, as follows: Oregon, June
4; North Carolina, Aug. 9; Alabama,
Aug. 8; Arkansas, Sept. 3, Vermont,
Sept. A; Maine Sept. 10; and Georgia,
Oct 3. The elections in Maine and
Oregon are usually watched with con-
siderable interest, however, for any
bearing they may have on the presi-
dental contest. The election in
Oregon will be awaited with more
than usual interest this year because
it comes before both of the great ma
tional conventions.
