NoN.PARTISAN PARTIES.

Everyone knows the usual ambi-
ton and purpose Of "non-partisan"
movement, especially in municipali-
ties. 1t is to correct and cure the
abuses of d party precedent. and to
establishment new and better policies
Of local government; TO compel a
square deal for the people at large
and break down graft and incompe-
sency and injustice in the common at
fairs Of the whole citi1enry.
When d "non-partisan" party holds
on too long, il Is apt 70 get the taste
ana tang and custom Of things It was
constituted and elected to cure; and
sooner. ar later, finds itself up against
the charges and doubts and bedeyil-
ments that applied to the people It
SO vaIiantly and successfully ousted.
Having set its high example, il loi-
ters in the lime-iight long enough to
learn 10 dread the shadows Of retire
ment, and seeks to entrench itself in
power BY all the dubious methods 4
once despised in its predecessors,
This has proven the rule, and the
rule Is working in Astoria today
plainly, and hotly.
We know Of one city in this State
where 4 anon-partisan" movement
went into power and staid there foE
six wears, and was then disbanded
During those six years, however, il
saved that city over $4,000 in cash
al compared with the previous sis
wears. and what Is more, held the city
absolutely within the range Of its ex
act revenues, and relinquished tht
reins Of control with the conscious
ness Of having done its best and rea'
duty in not having added a solitary
dollar to its public burdens; ant
had the immense satisfaction Of see
ing the county government follow it,
example Immediately, with success
that carried that arm Of the govern
ment beyond all public debt, degree
Of commendation that exceeded evei
the produest estimate Of a gratefu
people within its own particula
sphere.
Has Astoria's "non-partisan" crow
shown any such spirit as this?

to obtain on credit what they needed. on the
strength OF their next pension payment, and
Tor this accommodation they would have to
pay, as all other credit buyers, in the higher
credit prices charged. When the annual pen
sion payment fell due, all or the greater part
OF it would have to go for debt, and so the
pensioner would be left no other chance ex-
cept to buy on credit again His money

1t is enough to rouse the indignation of

THE NECESSITY OF A NATIONAL

PARTY


party insisted on being sectional in it's ira
ditions. And the Democratic party followed
that policy to its final undoing.
In the light Of history-not only our his
tory, but the history Of every nation-no
party can go forward for an elemental pur-
pose and win for that purpose unless it is a
party eager and anxious for the supremacy
OF the nation as a nation.
For decades we have had two great national
parties and, quite often, some sort of third
party. The Democratic party has gained power
twice since the Civil war, but lost because of
It's lack of nationality. The Republican party
has held sway in recent years, not by it's local
or sectional policies, but because Of the strong
world policy Of it's administrations
Meantime third parties have died a-borning
because they lacked this fundamental feature
OF party life. They came into being on issues
not involving the majesty of the greatest
nation Of the world.
The new party today, on the contrary, is
the National party! Despite the local obiec-
lions, for example, to the necessity of national
support of the reincarnation of the once cele-
brated and triumphant American merchant
marine, the Independence party stands boldly
for it because it is national party!
Except for personality, the Republican
party would have surrendered that proud
claim. The Democracy gave it up long ago.
The independence party, in the wide sweep of
its policies, proudly took the national attitude.

crease Of deposits Of government money with
the banks likely to decrease the speculative
tendency?
If the issue of bank notes on the deposits
of government bonds results in so increasing
speculative conditions as to result in pract-
cally continuous condition Of financial and
business unrest, anyone imagine that IT
given the power to issue money on bank as
SETS every dollar of which is already pledged
for five times it's value, will inspire confidence
that the increase in resources will not be used
as all preceding resources have been used for
speculative purposes?
Such suggestions, if carried into effect will
only intensity the evils will only add fuel to
the speculative flame and further weaken pub
lie confidence, until they result in overwhelm-
ing disaster
The one hopeful suggestion, in the multi
tude Of hopeless suggestions, that is not based
the idea that the way to remove an evil
is to encourage it and intensity it's results
until they become unbearable, when it will
be removed because unbearable, was made by
the editor Of The Jeffersonian Magazine when
in Washington recently. Mr. Watson, during
call upon President Roosevelt, called his at
tention to an old, unrepealed law that author
ICES the issue Of greenbacks to supply defcien-
cy in the volume Of circulating money, and
advised the issue of fifty million dollars in
greenbacks as a method of restoring conf
dence and allaying the monetary excitement.
The encouraging indication, the result of
this suggestion, was that Secretary Cortelyou,
who was present when it was made to the pres
ident invited a further interview on the sub
ject at the treasury department.. During this
interview the suggestion Of an issue Of fifty
million dollars in greenbacks repeated
and it's feasibility and efficiency urged in clear
and forcible language, and attentively listened
to by the secretary.
This suggestion to issue greenbacks suffi-
cient to relieve the monetary stringency caused
by the impaired confidence Of the people in
the existing monetary conditions, is the first
cient remedy for the present disturbed cond-
ton of frenzed finances. What is the
trouble? Lack of confidence on the part Of
the people, at time when there is in use a
larger quantity of reliable money than ever
before in history-reliable money because it
is national in character, SO far as it's redeem
ability is concerned. Why then lack of con-
fdence? Because the power of control over
money issues has been farmed out by the gov
eminent to banking institutions that have ex-
ercised the power to develop speculative inter-
ests rather than legitimate business inter-
