THE POLITICAL "MACHINE."

A person is generally more amused
than instructed on comments pro and
con by the press Of the country on what
is termed the political machine" The
machine" won here!and the "machine"
was routed there Much, if not most Of
this machine" talk is insincere, farther
than it is intended to damage some par
ticular crowd or some certain individual.
The machine referred to by one paper
may, and generally does, mean an en-
tirely different crowd Of fellows than the
machine" referred to by another
paper. In fact, opposing machines"
are in contemplation. Now all these
writers know that party simply means
organization. Party is nothing else. A
political party would go to pieces of its
own incoherency in the absence of man
agement. Managers must be represent
ative leaders. The machine" there
fore of any party is but its organizers,
its managers and its leaders. A leader
is boss. When he ceases to be a lead
er he is no longer boss. Brains and
experience are essential to successful
management and leadership. Managers
together with the average member Of
any organization, political or otherwise,
will naturally select the most astute of
their number as leaders. These are
called in politics "bosses" for short,
and for pat comprehensiveness. But
the idea or notion that the average poll
tical boss is dictator is foolishness.
The anti-boss crowd is as much of a
machine as the other phalanx. The
bosses take no steps, issue no orders,
only as result Of consultation and har-
monious conclusion. Every anti-ma-
chine writer knows this. Machines"
in the sense set out are necessary. It's
factions that are to be deplored. The
corporation has its directory which in
representing the stockholders directs the
president. The church has its trustees,
who in conversing the congregation in
structs its boss and leader, the preach
er. A machine" is only dangerous
when it becomes sodality, faction or
a corrupt gang. Patronage and favor
itism may even stimulate patriotism and
efficiency, and are not therefore neees-
Fary to be categoried as corrupting
agencies.

The Times Mountaineer believes the
Lewis and Clark appropriation was
double what it should have been, but at
the same time it realizes that majority
OF the people Of Oregon want the fair
held, and are ready to pay for it. Fur
ther than this, the appropriation sub
mitted to vote will receive almost a
unanimous endorsement in Multnomah
county (Which is nearly one-third the
vote Of the state) and besides nearly
every wage Garner in Oregon will sup
port it, il for no other reason, because
the erection Of necessary buildings and
improvements to grounds will necessi-
tate the expenditure of vast amount Of
labor, and will make work at good
wages plentiful. II will have the ten
dency to draw laborers from every part
of the state, thus leaving more work for
those who remain at home, and hence
will receive the support of wage earners
generally.

QUESTION Of mongolian territory il not
f, likely to give up any of that territory
when it has been brought under Russian
! administration.
Russia may have agreed to an ostensi-
BILE withdrawal, but it is quite certain
that there never was any intention Of
giving up Russian control. All the
operations Of the Russians in the Man.
churian province during the past few
years have indicated that the car was
there to stay. The administration has
not been one that indicated mere tenn
porary occupation. The foundations
were laid deeply, as they always are
when Russia once plants itself on alien
soil. While professions may have been
forthcoming that the province would be
turned back to China, the Russianizing
process has been at work all the while,
and with view to eventual and abso-
! lutte acquisition.
Other great powers may object to the
recent Russian demands made upon
China respecting the control of Man
churia, but possession is nine points Of
the law, despite the provisions of treat
les and diplomatic promises. Formal
notes have not restrained the govern
ment Of the car from grabbing territory
in the past, and it is doubtful if they
accomplish that result now.-Ex.

Sultan, Who Agrees to Adopt the

Constantinople. February 23.-The
Identical note on the subject Of reforms
in Macedonia. presented to the grand
visier Saturday by the Austro-Hun-
garian and Russian ambassadors, has

is also demanded for all persons who

The scheme for administration and

besides planning a more equitable col

of there being a surplus this may be

Measures are also demanded for
compelling the Albanians to respect
the laws.
The power which will be given to the
inspector of the gendarmerie, thus
virtually detaching him from the di-

IRISH LAND BILL
Earl of D%unraven Think That In
dications for Success Are Good.

London, February 23.-The Earl Of
Dunraven was interviewed t0nigh. re-
garding the report of the Irish land
lords and tenants conference in Dub
lin Of which he was chairman. He
spoke hopefully regarding the prospects
of legislation which he thought would
end the difficulties in Ireland. Lord
Dunraven said
The .utterances Of King Edward, OF
British public men. the temper Of Ire
land. the reception of the conference
report by the public and the action of
the government since the publication Of
the report are all favorable indications
pointing to the success of the govern
ment's Irish and bill. whica, if Il con-
tains a Just and generous offer will
make good the first impression on
which all depends. The bill if drawn
on the lines of the terms OF the report
will insure a final settlement AMI re-
move the cause of friction in Ireland
which is reacting unfavora bly, not only
in Great Britain but throughout the
empire and on our kindred United
States"
Lord Dunraven replied to the adverse
criticism of the report saying that the
conferees could not lay doWn a specific
formula to be adopted. Thev were OBJ
liged to deal with the matter on the
broadest lines, considering hCth the in
terests of the nation and those OF the
individual landlords and tenants. He
did not think that the government
would be able to specify a strict for
mula, which, if attempted. would con-
fuse the issue. The minor details of
any plan based on voluntarlsm mus be
left to the purchasers and sellers. The
conference only sought to formulate the
conditions under which it would be pos
sible to complete the transfer Of the
land within a reasonable reriod. His
iordship concluded by saying tha. he
did not think that the uer,dnd on the
state treasury would be disproportion-
ate to the benefits gained

THE STATEHOOD BILL
Some Talk of n Proposed Compre-

Washington. February 23.-All day
the statehood bill. 1t was generally
understood that what was known as
the Spooner compromise, being the
two state bill drawn by the Wiscon-
sin senator, would be satisfactory to
the republicans. The terms of this
compromise have heretofore been
given save that the provision for the
state of Montezuma provides that be-
fore Arizona can be set off as a sep
arate state, the population of Monte
yuma must be 700, 900 of which 300.0 600
should be in Arizona. The democrats
While talking in a conciliatory spirit
said that they had little hope that the
republican proposition would be ac-
ceptable to them. It is quite likely
that when this proposition is submit
ted, the democrats will have a confer
ence.
Probably a counter proposition then
will be made providing that when
Arizona has a population which is the
average for a representative in con-
gress it shall be admitted as a state,
also that a census shall be taken every
year. The democrats say they want
a provision fixing a date which will
bring Arizona into the union This
would not be satisfactory to the re-
publicans. While the efforts coward a
compromise continue there are only q
few senators who except an ADJUST
ment to be reached. and the prospects
of statehood legislation are still re
mote.
