PARTY TIES
“The failure of American political
parties since the war goes farther than
party leadership. On both sides there
are men in plenty who are able to
lead; but how can they lead when no
body will follow them? The republi
cans have been asking this question
despairingly ever since they came into
power two years ago; the democrats
have been just as impotent as the re
publicans—they are still— although
the fact does not stand out as clearly
as it would if they were charged with
the responsibility for the conduct of
the government.”
So says a newspaper correspondent
at Washington, regarded as one of the
ablest of writers and one of the keen
est observers. He states a condition
that is not new. That there has been
something of a breaking away from
party leadership ever since the world
war is not disputed. How far it will go
is an undetermined question.
The postmaster general regarded as
a political leader by virtue of his of
fice4 said recently that there is a line
of cleavage in the republican party
which has impaired the organization
as a harmonious unit; yet that the
same condition existed in the demo
cratic party. That is true. The so-call
ed “progressive” republican group
headed by Senator Lafollette, of Wis
consin, and adhered to by several in
surgent republicans, is trying to un
dermine President Harding. Another
“wing” consisting of Senator Borah, |
of Idaho, is obsessed with the same
motive. It appears that Borah is not
identified with the Lafollette faction
save as the mood carries him in that
direction, but he is equally bent on
making things unpleasant for the ad- j
ministration.
The same situation, in general form
exists in the democratic party. There
are two groups, one described as pro
pressive and the other as conserva
tive, one following in the footsteps of
Wilson, the other anti-Wilson. Besides
the wet and dry issue is cutting an
important figure in democratic pros
pects, with the East arrayed against
the West; and then there is Henry
Ford, who is considered a “possibi -
ity” as a democratic candidate, the
sound of whose name raises conserva
tive democratic gooseflesh
As usual neither party has a mon
oply on harmony or disharmony. Party
ties are less binding now than they
were years ago. Party responsibility,
though as great is a thing difficult to
accept with assurance that it can be
met—a condition arising partly from
the more direct system of government
now in vogue.
Yet when each party nominates its
candidates, this spirit of restlessness
and detachment will be less noticeable
1 as it always has been in the past
There can be only two candidates 01
the major parties and when they are
selected, sentiment will be more easily
crystalizd.
REMOVING POINTS OF FRICTION
WITH JAPAN
The Japanese ambassador made a
timely and sensible talk on American
Japanese relations in pointing out that
the interests of the two countries lead
in the same direction commercially
and that “Common intelligence and
collective wisdom,” should be able to
solve problems raised by the racial
issue. The only fly in the international
ointment which he observed was dis
crimination "based on co!5r or nation
ality,” and he added that Japan had
no desire to send to this country such
of her people as are not wanted. It is
true that the race question is one that
is causing some concern in the United
States and if Japan adopts a policy of
not sending Japanese not desired—
which means Orientals who want to
compete with American in their own
homes and ultimately displace them—
the situation will be happily adjusted
We have nothing against the Japanese
per se, but their coming in large num
bers has raised an issue on the Pacif
ic coast that must be settled and the
American people have come to the
point where they are unalterably op
posed to Japanese immigration in
large numbers and Japanese owner
ship of lands. Japan can best meet the
problem by recognizing the fact frank
lv and setting it down as an economic
condition that cannot be removed.
“Distrust and suspicion,” to which
the ambassador refers are to be de
plored, and much has been done to
eliminate them. We have no doubt, in
view of the friendly relations between
the two countries, that the racial and
economic problem can be and will be
amicably removed.

oil to improve these streets by cut
ting off the brush and having the
grass scraped off. It would cost very
little to scarpe Sixth avenue and it
would make that section of an other
wise neat town compare favorably
with the rest. Railroad avenue is
used extensively by parties traveling
from the train to the boats, and it is
also in bad shape.
Now that it is definitely settled that
the presidential party will be here
July 13th, what are we going to do
to entertain them? Anchorage and
Fairbanks gave the congressional par
ty a nice Alaskan curio, and lots of

the needs of the sections described.
These parties do not care for ban
quets or receptions, but want to know
something of the country. It is up to
us to give them the information.
OREGON DRUGGISTS CAN
SELL RUBBING ALCOHOL
PORTLAND, June 12—Denatured
alcohol and so called “rubbing alco
hol ’ can be legally sold in Oregon af
ter today only by registered pharma
cists and all sales must be registered

Board of Pharmacy, which adopted
the order at its last ruling.
The rule does not prohibit dealers
from putting denatured alcohol into
auto radiators or using it in their own
work, said Ward.
