Portland, Aug. 3.-For the first

the Willamette river remained closed
today regardless of signals for passage
by boats. This was in accordance
with the order of the cdInty court

did not open. Shaver laid to until
at the expiration of the closed period,
and then appealed to the government.

Constitutional Amendment Limiting
Franchise Strongly Ratified at
Oklahoma Primaries - Estimated
Fourteen Thousand Negroes Will
be Deprived of Citizenship-ResuIts
Indicate Democrats are Much
Stronger Than Republicans.

Guthrie, Aug. 3.-Fourteen thous-
and negroes are disfranchised, it is
estimated, as a result of the ratifi-
cation at the primaries yesterday of
the constitutional amendment limit
ing the franchise. 1t is declared
thousands of negroes are unable to
comply with the provisions. Demo-
Gratis favored the amendment while
the republicans opposed it and the re-
suit indicates the democrats may con-
troll the fall election.
The amendment is similar to the
famous grandfather clause in the con-
stitutions of many southern states.
The ratification of the amendment
was the biggest question of the elec-
tions. Returns today overwhelmingly
favor the amendment. The result OF
the primary, it is declared, indicates
the republicans are already outnum-
bered by democrats, and the disfran-
chisement of the negroes will take
away considerable of the republican
strength.

midnight.
Roosevelt during his inspection met
and talked with the men who dig coal
as they came from the mines black
and grimy. He talked with them
about their homes, their manner of
living and learned from their own
lips how they looked at life. He
climbed to the top of a coal breaker
and spent half an hour there in the
sitting coal dust so that he might see
what the boys who work there, have
to do.
He spent another half hour in a silk
mill talking with the giri workers.
He plodded two miles through the

Everybody soon became aware Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's presence and the

Mr.. Roosevelt tore himself away
from the crowd at last and turning
from the main street walked up the

the breakers and the colonel accept
ed.
They climbed three flights of stairs
TO a dizzy height and reached the top
Of the chute. Colonel Roosevelt found
three breaker boys who kept on sort

talked with him. The dust was stiff
ing and the heat intense but the col

him and they found Mrs. jenkins on
her knees scrubbing the kitchen floor.
The colonel went over to the sink and
washed some of the dirt off before
he would shake hands with her. The

l. would be the climax of folly for this
body Of men, after the republican vo-
ters had determined the issue, to fall
in recording the verdict and in pub
fishing to the world, in fitting terms,
the decision which the republican
electorate has rendered. 1t is not my
purpose to define at this point just
what the issue between republicans
has been, and is, not only in Iowa.
but throughout the length and
breadth of the country. 1t is suffi-
cient for the present to say that it re-
lates wholly to those questions which
concern the control, regulation and
restriction of the powers and practices
Of combined or concentrated wealth.
Or, to phrase it again,--to the un-
due and disproportionate share which
corporate capital is able TO wiring
from the profits of industry, and the
injustice it is able to inflict upon help
less individuals and defenseless COM
munities.
Standpat and Progressive.
In dealing with these problems the
members of our party have ranged
themselves along the whole stretch of
economic thought and governmental
action-from the hopeless and retreat
ing reactionary to the extreme and
visionary radical The rear division
Of this long line, with all its vary
ing shades of political doctrine, has
come to be known as the standpatters;
while the other, with some diversity OF
opinion upon specific questions,
e.,
the progressives.
1t is possibly true that some of the
progressives want to go too fast and
do too much. 1t is certainly true that
there are many of the standpatters
who want either to go back or to do
nothing at all. Assuming that the di-
visions of the party are equally hon
est, it is obvious that the contest be-
tween them is not trivial, although II
is TO be hoped that il is but tempor-
airy.
I recur in this unparalleled situ-
alton to the calm and optimistic phil
osophy Of Abraham Lincoln, who, in
the epochal debate of 1853 after quot
ing the maxim "a house divided
against itself cannot stand" said:
81 believe this government cannot
endure permanently half slave and
half free. I do not expect the union
to be dissolved. I do not expect the
house TO fall, but I do expect It will
cease TO be divided. 1t will become
all one thing or all the other"
1t is even so with the republican
party. 1t cannot endure permanently
half progressive and half standpat.
do not expect to see It either defeated
or dissolved, but it must speedily be-
come all progressive or all standpat.
VIII BE Progressive.

far through the mists and uncertain
ties of the future and mark with pre-
cision the path in which the party
will walk; but remembering that it
