IGNORANCE OF HUGHES.

Governor Hughes says he be-
iieves in government by parties.
1t Is evident he is fossilized
specimen of an ante-diluvian
politician. At least he has never
heard of Oregon and the wonder
tul discoveries made in the
science of government by the
wise men of that most fertile
state-fertile in everything but
wise men. Of these we have, so
far, produced but a few, TWO or
three probably, but we are young
Yet and hope to do better present
iy. 1t Is not numbers of which
we boast but quality.
We know that in past time
many wise men, all wise men,
indeed, believed as Mr.. Hughes
does. 1t is even possible that
sometimes they wished they did
not believe so, but all human ex-
perience taught that it was a cor
rect belief and they clung to it.
We use the past tense, was, cor
rectly, and as it should be by all
Oregonians, for our wise men,
our super-eminently wisest wise |
men have put party government
in the past-not in the. remote !

possibly. in some distant future.
1t seems almost incredible that

the greatest state in the union,
is unacquainted with the wonder.
full, beautiful and simple discov-
cry made by our trusted leaders
here in Oregon. The whole
scheme of government without
party is easy and simple.
Party machinery -organiza-
tion, leaders and purposes are
selfish and needless. A minority
party can never get it's machin-
cry to work just as successfully
as is desired. Persuade the ma
jority party it's machinery is out
of order. This is all that is nec-
essary. Party machinery de-
stroyed, party cannot long en-
dure.

be rid of bumble-bees has been
vindicated. But yet more desir-
able. Office does not have to 90

seek the office. Dick, Tom and
Harry may now chase for office,
and as for principles, policies
and purposes old parties
combined were, in comparison,
simply poverty stricken. This
feature is not bewildering, how
ever, since Il want the office" is
the full explanation of it.
If we did not abhor slang we
would say to Governor Hughes,
go away back and sit down and
keep your eye on Oregon.

ITS LMMORALITY.

Our people are moral, and will
not knowingly and willingly ap-
prove, aid and abet anything that
is contrary or offensive to their
sense of morality. This respect
for the moralities of things they
carry into their civic life. They
will rebuke civic or political i'm
morality just as sternly as they
do social or business unrighteous-
ness.
Unfortunately the immortality
underlying some public questions
is not easily perceived. 1t may
be, usually is artfully and deftly
concealed. This deception must
be practiced. The immoral ele-
ment in certain proposed meas
ures must he hidden from the
people or the measures them
selves will be repudiated by the
people.
The free coinage of silver at an
arbitrary ratio to real values as
expressed by gold was an allur-
ing, specious measure. But as
quickly as the people saw that it
involved the immortality of dis
charging an honest indebtedness
of one dollars value by the pay
ment of fifty cents or less they
would no more of the free coin
age of silver.
Our objections to Statement
No l are based, mainly on it's
manifest immortality. We have
believed when the people saw
this, the statement would be
ignored, wholly disregarded.
We observe this is the case.
The people will not resort to the
use of immoral means even to
reach desirable and righteous
ends.
They read: Thou shalt not
forswear thyself," and see the
immortality of requiring their
servants to do so. They respect
the sanctity of an oath and will
not consent to any sort of pro-
cedure which may impair such
sancity and tempt men to regard
the moral responsibilities of an
oath lightly.
Further than this: Our people
see the immortality of violation of
law. Law, even though it does
not work out all the results de-
sired, is to be respected and en-
forced. 1t is grossly immoral for
any one wilfully to violate law
Or to encourage others to do so. .
The constitution of the United
States is the supreme law, and
It's violation is an immoral act.
Dur people see that Statement +
No. l invites men to forswear
themselves; that it violates law.
These are immoralities. Because +
II this the people care little for \
ne wrangling of politicians over J
