Progress Without Partisanship.

A welcome sequel to the election of
Wilson as President is the decline of
craftsmanship for party's sake on all
hands. Wilson himself has promoted
this tendency by such declarations as
he made in his Trenton speech that
not craftsmanship, but the purpose of
the people dictate to him his selection
of progressives for office. In the same
spirit Borah has pledged Wilson his
support in carrying out a genuine con-
servation policy and Kenyon has ex-
pressed his purpose to support some
of Wilson's progressive policies.
Politicians are recognizing more
and more every day that the people
have greater interest in the adoption
of certain policies than in the success
of a certain party; that the man who
Is broad enough to forget party d.
visions and support a good measure,
even though fathered by an opponent
will possess far stronger and more
lasting hold on public confidence than
he who can see no good in anything
which emanates from man Of a diff.
ferent party.
Thus all progressives, though they
do not spell the word with capital
"P." are gradually drifting together
and will pull together. The Progress
sive party as party will gradually
cease to have an excuse for existing
and we shall have a rivalry in pro-
gressiveness between the more ad
vanced elements In both the Older
parties as to which can best promote
the cause they both serve, for the
progressives will hereafter CONTROL
Portland Oregonian.
