THE NATIoNAL POLITICAL SITUATION.

On Friday the fourth day ofthe national Republican conven

still exists.
The electorate is at the ushering in Of eathe dawn
of better days in the management of politics. and the people
generally will be benefited.
lated county and state conventions and corrupted and boss
controlled national convention is going.
It has served its purpose in the evolution of political nsttu
tons its has accumulated its cargo OF abuses and the system
and it's barnaces must go to oblivion
On the and better system-the direct vote OF
the electorate on candidates. and that must apply from con-
stable to president of the United States.
At the point Of abandoning one system and gong over 10
newer ystenhe absolute rule Of the electorate without mid
dlemen and bosses-there is some trouble.
Inside Of four the atmosphere will have cleared the
matter will be decided and the last national nominating con-
vention will have been held at Baltimore.
years hence all parties in all states will probably hold
direct presidential primary the day. and the votes
of the state will be announced the next day.
That would put an end to all strife and combinations and
deals conventions all expense Of delegates to national con-
ventions and all trading Of for federal offices
That will the outcome and for that we should all earnest
H labor and pray to be delivered from the results OF such COM
pIieations as are before in Chicago
There all is struggle and strife for personal advantage and
for selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT andgapg power that belongs
to the people
The voice Of sound principles must prevail and until that
heard all can afford to be patient
Those who voice principle and truth have hard row to noe
and must not expect immediate reward
But back of all the din and turmoil truth sits on the throne
guiding the destines Of the nation.
of changing systems the passing out of the old and the usher
The Democratic party at Baltimore will have the prob
lens to face because the issues that sunderng the body
polite are ceavng to the bone and marrow Of American al
fairs
The Republican party cannot turn its face against progress
sive principles and live hence will not commit such sui
cidal act - .
It has been the party Of nationam and prosperity lind it
remain the party Of political progress and industrial JUS
tice
less slogan and the past uerance Of party carap as e
understood as the Chinook iargon of the pioneers.
Two generations Of voters demanding progress along
lines of principle for better social political and industrial con-
dtons and merely tell them you Republican cuts no
ice
You have got tell them what stand for on Fundamental
political issues and you have got to stand right and stand or
better government and considerably better to get their votes
That the situation in American politics today and all who
can and understand might well prepare to use their po

An Oregon Dollar.

An Oregon Dollar.
A farmer out in oregon,
About a year ago,
Went into town one day to spend
Some of his hard-earned dough"
"And in a merry jest" and just
To show his printing skill,
He printed his initials on
A brand new DOLLAR bill.
He spent that dollar that same day
Down at the village store.
He thought twas gone forever then
And he'd see 1t no more.
But long before that year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbor's order, and received
That same one d-o-l-l-a-r b-i-l-l.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood
Where it would do himself and
friends
The most amount Of good.
Four times in two years it came
back,
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out and spend
This marked one DOLLAR bill.
Had he been wise that dollar might
Be in his town today,
But just about two years ago
He sent it far away
The people who received it then
know have got 1t still,
For twas to a mail order house
He sent his d-o-l-l-a-r bill
No more will that marked dollar
come
Into the farmers hands,
And never more will It help pay
The taxes on his lands
He put 1t where 1t never can
Its work OF life fulfill,
He brought about the living death
Of that one d-o-l-l-a-r b-i-l-l
