Flanders over long stretches Of inhab-

which were far reach from the trench
fighting, which marked the greater
part Of the war.
The correspondent was motoring
along the highway leading to the re-
Gently freed city Of Denain when q
French officer beside the road asked
for ride. AS soon as the car started
he leaned out and began to inspect the
surroundings eagerly. Occasionally he
would wave to civilians and shout
greetings.
Asked If he lived in the vicinity, the
officer said that his home was in De-
main, where four years ago he left his
wife to Join the colors. Just after his
departure his first child. a daughter,
was born. Then came tho German oc.
cupation, cutting of his loved ones.
Now he was going back after these
long years to his wife and the baby he
had never seen.
BE was visibly wrought up to the
highest pitch, as well he might be- Il
was quite possible he might find his
family dead or gone and his home IN
ruins.
Entering the city the officer directed
the correspondent toward his home.
through streets showing the cruol
marks of the invaders hate. Turning
into his street, the first house was In
ruins. He gave a nervous start, but
said nothing. A few doors farther on
was his home, and the car stopped
across the street from It. The omcer
climbed out slowly and with an effort,
his eyes fixed on the place.
Afraid Of Her Father.
There were no signs Of life. The
windows were suffered and on the
door was sign showing that German
officers had been living there. Crossing
the street, the officer pulled the bell
with shaking hand. No one answered.
He backed away like a man in trance
and leaned against the car, trembling.
Suddenly the door opened and an
aged woman serXant appeared in IN.
swer to the bell. She was leading by
the hand a beautiful baby girl with
wealth Of golden curls. The onicer
took one Step toward tile child and
then halted. He was stranger to his
own flesh and blood.
The child hid behind the skirts OF
the nurse, peering out in fright. I'm
doubtedly her mother had told her
many times during the Boche Occupa-
ton that men in uniform were bad
and that she must avoid them.
The horizon blue uniform of France
meant nothing to this tot. The half
blind eyes Of the old nurse had recOg-
nized her master aud she held out her
hands to him, repeating. Monsieur!
Monsieur!" in ecstasy. He crossed the
road and grasped her hands, but the
baby drew back still farther.
A door opened at the end of a long
hall and comely young matron came
through to see what was going on.
When half way down the hall she
caught sight of her husband. She
stopped, her hand flew to her breast,
and she swayed for second rs though
about to fall. With sobbing cry of
Joy she hurled herself into his drns.

WHAT PARTY MEANS.

correspondent recently asked the 0regOnian to eX-
plain the difference between democrat and republican
The editor side-stepped the question; merely mtlmatng
that the republican party was so emnenty superior 10
the democratic organizations that specifications are Who'll
y unnecessary This reply being unsatisfactory the Ore
gonian yesterday argued at length upon the necessity for
maintaining political parties in this country, and contend
ed naturally that the republican organization is more
capable of conducting the government than is its demo-
cratic rival While the reasons upon which this concl
sion is based little obscure since both parties IN the
main are led by intelligent American citizens from var
led walks of life and therefore, should be equally cap
able of organization and administration yet are not
disposed to quarrel with the Oregonan that point 1t
is Of course the personal opinion of the editor prompted
by the natural political preudices that are handed down
from father to son in this country
We are willing to go further and agree with the Ore
gonian that political parties necessary in this country
in order to effective expression of public opinion
Organization is necessary in politics well as in religious
work or anything else that calls for efficiency in order
to produce results.
What the Capital Journal does object to, however, is
the making of ones political party fetish which
is worshpped by its devoees all occasions and regard
less of consequences The party ought to be means to
an end not the end itself many Americans seem to
regard it. The best test of citizenship ought to be willing
ness to change party allegiance at any time ones party
does not stand for what best issues of the
times or when its candidates do not measure up to the
proper conception of public duty Party organization on
such standard would go far toward guaranteeing the
integrity of our government and its Institutions.
However, the too popular conception of party aeg-
lance is voiced in the rayng cry of the ward heeer when
the campaign opens stand by the old party boys, and
vote er straight That is why we have incompetent
and dishonest officials machine organization within the
party and vicious yalueess laws In strong republican
states like Oregon nomination is virtually equivalent to
election no matter how that nomination procured
and no matter how inane and extravagant republican
legislature may be there is effective way of rebunng
its profgacy disregard of popular wishes. The dom

fIatOns may have been become republicans here in or
der to take part in the deciding primaries. Many demo-
Gratis are registering republicans and acting with that
party for the same reason.
similar condition exists in the southern states,
where the democrats in control of every branch Of
government No matter how many thousands of voters
emgrate to the south from the republican states the
democratic majority is not diminished, but actually
grows larger because the republicans from the north
quickly sense the advantages of becoming affiliated with
the party which is in the saddle.
The Capital Journal thinks a strong minority party,
whose candidates are occasionally successful is essential
to honest economical administration in any state county
or city. If this the undesirable candidates
would seldom win and machines could not be perfected
if the opposition party occasionally turned the rascas
cut as we used to say in the good old days when torch
light professions, fireworks and flambOyant OratOry
stirred the blood and fired the enthusiasm of the rival
parties.
Again we say we have no objection to political par
ties but we long for the day to when no American
citizen will think of his party than he does Of
good government. That is why feel having poiti
cal aspirations we can do more to advance the public in
erests as free lance in an overwhelming republican state
than by seeking to strengthen party already too strong
for its integrity at times. political party strong
that it becomes virtually machine is menace to public
interests and voters of all parties would take keener
interest in public affairs in the primaries and elections
if the cOntendng parties evenly balanced and
and prone to vote their convictions in
stead of their political prejudices.
