I'm this country we do not permit
the change to be made by legislative

Mr. Roosevelt cannot justify his

Portland, Ore, March If the
Oregon democracy at the April pri-
maries indorse either Woodrow Will
son or Champ Clark for the presiden-
tial nomination, it's action will meet
with the cordial approval of William
j. Bryan. Between these two the
Nebraska leader will make no dis
tinction.
Such was the declaration OF Mr..
Bryan yesterday as he was being
whirled toward Portland from Hood
River.
Il regard both Governor Wilson
and Mr.. Clark as available candi-
dates" he said. Il do not care to
discuss relative availability, either as
between them or between them and
others.
The nomination of Harmon or of
Underwood 1 would regard as unfor-
trnate. 1 do not care to express an
opinion except as to some men who
represent the reactionary element Of
the party"
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Portland over
the O.-W. r. & y. At the union de-
pot large crowd had gathered to
catch a glimpse of the famous Ne
braskan. The reception committee of
representative democrats from all
parts of the state was first to greet
the visitor with a cheer, and as he
stepped from the train Governor West
stepped forward to receive him. From
the depot he was driven to the Multi
nomah hotel to begin his round of
entertainment.
While expressing no opinion as to
who will be the republican candidate
for president, Mr.. Bryan commented
freely on the recent announcement of
the candidacy of Roosevelt, and de-
clared the effect will be to increase
the chances of democratic success
His announcement creates a situ-
alton out of which the democrats may

Beauty Of Hair

LAFOLLETTEs POSITION.

CENATOR LAFOLLETTE, if the Washington
~ dispatches report him correctly, is pursuing
the only course possible for him to follow and
maintain his self respect with regard to his can
didacy for the Republican presidential nomination.
The Senator declines to withdraw from the race.
He declares that he announced his candidacy for
the presidential nomination only after he had re.
ceived assurances that Theodore Roosevelt would
not be a candidate under any circumstances and
that he has gone along making his fight for the
principles for which he stands regardless OF con.
sequences.
Now, it seems, that other progressives we're
merely waiting for chance to dump LaFollctte
and to scurry into the mysterious camp in which
Colonel Roosevelt is said to be the commander,
a camp in which the only light at present is from
dark lanterns. These so-called friends of LaFol-
lette make his health and his Philadelphia speech
pretext for throwing him overheard after urging
that he withdraw. They seem to have no regard
for the position in which LaFollette would be
placed if he withdrew Already the Wisconsin
Senator is being condemned as the mere stalking
horse for Roosevelt. He says he isn't and he.can
prove that he isn't by refusing to be sandbagged
by his professed friends.
Another reason why LaFollette declines at this
time to jump into the Roosevelt camp is that he
is doubtful as to how Roosevelt stands in regard
to the measures LaFollette has been fighting for.
The Ohio progressive friends of Roosevelt some
time ago showed symptoms of having the same
doubt when they addressed an open letter to Colo
mel Roosevelt calling upon him to declare his po-
siton on the important questions of the day
We are inclined to think that there are many
who, although they disagree with most of the
things LaFollette stands for will sympathze with
him in his present predicament, assuming that he
means what he says when he refuses to be cluhbei
out OF the race to make room for the guerrillas
who are fighting Taft under cover of Roosevelt.

GIVE THE YOUNG A CHANCE.

OOklNG at the matter from the point of view
~ of the young people who enjoy coasting with
seds when the hills are covered with seet and
snow the recent order of the police prohibiting
such sport during evenings is a hardship.
The coasting season lasts but a short time The
boys and girls and many older persons for that
matter, have much innocent pleasure with their
sleds, But unregulated and unprotected there is
always peril
A plan could be formulated by which the young
people could enjoy the sport without the accom-
panying danger. During the evenings in win
ter, why should not the police department decide
that there could be coastng on certain hills, the
fun lovers being protected by squad of police? {?
IL would not be out of place for the streets on
which there is coasting to be roped off during GER
tain hours. few patrolmen guarding the dan
gerous places would enable the boys and girls and
men and women coasters to enjoy their sport with
out peril. Ninth street is favorite coasting thor
oughfare, and so are West Fourth and West Third
streets. The experiment might be made with a
detail Of police on guard on one of the streets.
Ii any feasible plan could be devised so that
coasting could be enjoyed under proper rcgula-
tons, this should be done. 1t is always we'll to
remember that the young must have pleasure and
sport PTd especially in winter when there is little
or no opportunity for field exercise.
We have Fairgrounds, few of them, in the
summer and all kinds of sport and there should be
an opportunity for the young to coast during the
winter. The season for such pleasure is short and
il would be pity if the most in the way of pleas
urc could not be made OF IT, BY all means give the
young a chance.

THE cRY ABouT coRRuprIoN.

TN HIS statement regarding the Swain investi-
CATION at Washington, Mr. Willard Salisbury.
Democratic National Committeeman who brought
the charges says that political conditions are
worse in this state If possible, than under Addicks
because of the hypocritical pretenses. Incident
ally, Mr.. Salisbury says that an investigation by
means OF The Senate committee might do much
good.
In some respects this is remarkable dcclara-
tion' charge in effect that the last campaign, so
tar as II related TO the of money illegally, was
worse than the conditions that Mr. Salisbury be-
lieves existed during the days of Addicks
Naturally question may be asked il the condi-
tons were as bad as Mr.. Salisbury and others be-
lieve they we're during the last campaign, why have
not more offenders been brought TO Justice? Does
Mr.. Salisbury imply in his statement that the
prosecuting officers of the state Attorney General
Gray and his assistants failed to probe election
conditions as they should be probed? If the con-
ditions were deporable, one is led to think
from Mr. SauSbury's point of view, was it impos-
slble for the Attorney Generals Office to find more
evidences of corruption than we're found?
1t will be recalled that Attorney General Gray
made what was supposed TO be a thorough inves-
tigaton of the campaign so far as the illegal use
OF money was concerned. Committeeman Of both
parties were summoned and books of the commit
tees we're pried into, the Attorney General col
ected vast number Of statements, a few prose-
cutions we're started, a few convictions secured
and there the matter rested
The statements collected by the Attorney Gen
sral we're not made public. Mr. Gray undoubtedly
proceeded where he thought the evidence was suF-
dcient TO justify prosecution.
The Journal is we'll aware of the difficulties that
confront the authorities in matters Of this kind.
The prosecutor has no funds at his COM
mand toengage extra detective service to delve into
such matters the illegal use of money in cleo
tons.
Bribers do not operate in the light Their deeds
being evil they work, hguratvely speaking, in the
dark 1t is hard to secure testimony There is al
ways danger of so-called "frameups" but there
could be no "frame-ups' il men under suspicion
kept out of suspicious company
After the last election the usual stories of cor
rupuon were sent out from Delaware and our state
again received that unpleasant notoriety which for
years has cast stigma upon us. In answer il

he one thing that should now be borne in mind
is that the decent people Of the state want cor

are weary OF having their home held up TO the
scorn of the world. They think that in the future
extraordinary efforts should be made TO stamp out
corruption.
If it is impossible by the ordinary means to stop
the alleged illegal use of money they want it stop
ped by extraordinary means. If the methods in
the past have failed, some public spirited men
could employ sleuths of the Burns variety to fer
ret out the facts regarding any illegal use of
money in Delaware campaigns.
Managers Of the political parties should make
agreements not to use money illegally. No mat

THE PROBLEM OF THE POOR.

under which her comrades live and
work. said: Sometimes college girls
work in the shops for couple Of
weeks and then go back and report
that it is all nonsense for working
girls to say they can't get along on
the wages they get. But it is a differ
ent thing to get along on 81 a week
when you know you can quit at any
time"
In the truth of that saying lies the
chasm that separates the well to do
from the very poor. BY most men
and women of means every effort 20

its scope the life not only of the body
but of the brain and of the soul.
