Senator Root I told the American liar association the past week, passed 0.1.014 law during the past five vcar. .Mr. Root made a plea for more carefu wort drafting laws, and for le of what he called "sloppy legislation. The w riter had occasion some time ao to consult the statute book of one uf the state, which required ISOO pae to record it new law for the year 1913. The state book of the same state for the ear ISSO included only 340 paes. So prowj the crop of law. While many foolish act are parsed, still new interests have forced new enactment. The legislature oi iSSO didn't have to spend any time reulatinj the speed of outomobile. nor thare of telephone companies. A few years ao, a certain L'nited State senator wx overheard talking w ith jrreat vehemrncT. "When the people rise in their might and demand . law of rhl kind." he remarked, concernini! the agitation for a crrtain statute, "it is useless to oppose them." "But what will such a law amount to?" inquired a by-stander. "Nothing whatever," replied the senator. "The people will then turn their attention to something else, and forget all about it." Many laws are so carelessly draw n that there is a lawsuit in every sen tence, due to imlcfinitenes. The man who wrote them could not get a job as a newspaper reporter, until he had learned to w rite w ith more precision. If the people who draft laws could realize it, any kind of writing seems far more lucid if the sentences are made short. lawyers' minds may not work that way. But the average business man becomes hopelessly tangled by long succession of phases, commas, semi-colons, and conditional clauses. Every law ought to be so clearly written that any intelligent man could understand it, without having to fee a lawyer to interpret it.

Theoretically the new tarilf wa to nuke a big cut in the cost of liv ing. The taritf orator alway wii! that protection iiutrad price by the amount of-Juty. If (he duty wa 40 per cent, the protective tarilf lifted the price 40 per cent. Hon perfectly ridiculous (hi claim look in (he light of recent history Itv this time, it i apparent to evety one that the tariff wa one of the most 1111. minor issue in t:ie matter ot prices, nign price are caused iy mgn cost oi land and by the high wage paid to labor, more than by any other cause. Legislation can not afford such condition. It is true that some of the most disastrou result predicted by enthusias tic protectionist have not vet been realied. The reason appear to he this. European manufacturer have not looked at our tariff change a permanent rhev know how otiicklv the WiUm Ciortnan tariff of IS'H was undone. To capture the trade of a foreign country i a work of time. It lake study of the market and the creation of a selling organisation. No doubt it ha scrmed ery foolish to European manufacturer, to make a bid for American trade, until thry could see if this tariff showed any sign of permanence. Manv of their correspondent have no doubt predicted that it was a mere temporary arrangement, due to a split in the party of protection. No doubt they have been expecting to see the rate raised again soon. Thry have been slow to invest thousand of dollar in cultivating a new market that may soon be withdrawn. Before they could lay any plan for such trade, along came the war, making new projects impossible for now. Under these circumstance, the fact that more industries have not been undermined bv foreign competition is no sign that the protection is adequate. he election of a Dcmocratc congress thi fall would be an encouragement to Curopean manufacturers that have ken contemplating an attempt to capture American trade, and who will bid for it whenever the war closes.

In the last campaign against the single tax, there was a very earnest ex ortation to the people to vote. Abundant literature was sent to every voter, yet out of 7166 registered voters in Clackamas county there were 1552 who failed to vote on the question. There were, fortunately, enough votes against the single tax proposition to defeat it, but, for all these non-voters knew, their silence would have en abled the Hessians to carry their exceedingly injurious measures. The con sideration of this utter indifference has induced these single taxcrs to try it again with a little different presentation, but with the same effect. A slogan of the advocates of the "Oregon system" is "Let the people rule," but here are about one-fourth of the registered voters (to say nothing of the unregistered ones) of Clackamas county who do not rule. They can vote if they want to, but they can't want to. The "majority rule," having failed to carry, they count in the affirma tive of any scheme, no matter how had, for "silence gives consent." If they only were to suffer by their neglect it would be better, hut those who arc alert in defense have to suffer with them. No one vvh fails to vote should ever be heard to complain for he fully consents to any measure, no matter how bad. Under the initiative, the vot er must depend on himself, only; there is no agent or power to defend him, very little discussion and no amendment possible. The most disastrous laws can be forced upon him. His only defense is his vote. When the legislature passes a bill, the legidators arc responsible to their constituents and to the whole state; but, under the initiative, no one is responsible to anybody. The time w ill soon come, if it is not already here, when a man who fails to vote on the questions forced upon him by the initiative, will be looked up on with contempt. w fr HE DEMOCRATS have the most inimitable capacity for getting I tangled up in side issues. In 1892 Grover Cleveland carried the Democratic party to victory largely on the tariff. There have al ways been a good many Republicans who thought the old party wall was a little too high. They imagined that they could put the Democrats in power, pare down the schedules a little, and get away without having caused any damage. But the Democratic chieftains had no such course in mind. When it came to the tariff, they created a hodge podge that was called by their chosen leader a work of "perfidy and dishonor." But they were not content with an attempt to overhaul the tariff. They also must go crazy on finance, and attempt to stand the world's monetary! system on its head. The result was the panic of 1893, and a depression that lasted at least five years. The history of Democratic control today has been similar in many re spects. Then as now, they were not willing to try out their tariff experi ment and have a fair test of how it would work. President Wilson must al so pursue a course of interference and dictation in Mexico, keeping business men on the anxious seat for a year. Even more destructive of confidence has been the general spirit of an tagonism to business. The Democratic congress has waged warfare on suc cess. WTierever it saw the head of an ambitious business man rising above his fellows, it has hit at it, forgetting that the blow also hit the people whom the business man employed. The Democratic party never seems able to learn to do one thing at a time. Economic changes should be undertaken gradually. No sooner had HOEVER MAY HAVE HAD DOLIJTS about the success of the Republican ticket a month ago ha them no longer. The wave of sentiment for Bxth is growing mountain high. From every county have come glowing reports of Republican success. In Portland, where the bulk of the vote will be cast, the chance now are that Booth will lead Chamkrlain by a good margin. Outside of Multnomah Booth will have a lead of manv thousands and it was the hope of the Chamberlain peo ple to offset this in Multnomah. This hope has gone a-glimmrring owing to a combination of circumstances. The utterly unfair treatment accorded Booth when he exploded the ac cusations of West and completely bottled the governor, has caused resent ment among fair minded people. It has aroused the Republicans to greater effort. Hanley is taking so much of the "wet" vote from Chamberlain that the latter is growing weaker daily in this direction. The people arc dis gusted with the mud-slinging tactics of the Democrats, and, above all, the mass of the people are tired of dull times, little work and small pay and they arc anxious to help make times better by voting for Booth. These are some of the main factors in the increasing sentiment for Booth and the strengthen ing of the entire Republican ticket. Despite efforts of paid agitators to discredit Booth in labor circles, the working men of Portland are thinking of tln'ir ilinmT bucket and they know that with Republicans in control thry always have enough to cat and to take care of the children. Booth is making a fight for the American working man as well as for the business man and this i a fact which is being under stood as the campaign draws to a close. death penally for flmt di'Krer murder wna iiiKa,'d lr K.

This desperati) effort by U'Uen and bis followers to gathftr strength for his candidacy, which long has been a hopeless cause, la bitterly resented by those Germans who are acquainted with the methods that U'Uen has pursued. The letter attempts to make an Is sue out of the fact that Dr. Withy combe's ancestors were of liritlsh ex traction and is grossly offensive In many other particulars. It makes a bold bid for the German Indorsement for U'Ken by making the pretense that U'iten himself is of German ancestry. It is apparent that the U'Ren sup porters had hoped to secure a large number of German signatures, but be yond the lone signature of C. T. Hess their efforts were fruitless. While the nimble hand of U'iten himself does not appear in all this ac tivity on his behalf, it is evident, from the fact that the movement originated in bis law office, that be bad a large part in it.

Safety First Elect Wilson Sheriff N'o man stands higher in this community than does Willi. mi Wilson, Republican candidate for county .hrriff Nor is any man in Clackamas county better fitted for the office he seeks than i .Mr. Wilson. Nor is there a public office in Clackamas county which demands a more efficient and till around capable man to suc cessfully conduct the affairs of it department than dors the office of county sheriff. If (he voters of Clackamas county have the best welfare of the community at heart, they will elect Mr. Wilson by a hand sonic majority. He possesses an abundance of personal attribute which peculiarly fit him for this important task. In the first place Mr. Wilson is always "on the job." He has been a successful business man of Oregon City for many years, nnd during the last two years has served Clackamas county as coroner, and in a nmst able manner. Again he possesses nn intricate knowledge of the county and its people, a knowledge which has resulted from Imsi ness associations and hi wide acquaintanceship in every section. Thirdly, Mr. Wilson belongs to that fearless type of men who place duty above rill else, and if he is chosen nt the coming flection and by the way every indication joints to his success the voters of Clackamas coulity may rest assured that they will get real serv ice from the office. This old county has its troubles nnd the sheriff must be a fliai ( who can deliver the goods. Society demands protection, pny ,l,t protection, and for that reason a man of Wilson's calibre should be at the head of the sheriff's department of county affair. Wilson is the man for the job. Although of the same name as the president of the country, Mr. Win. Wilson is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, and has some very different ideas regarding the best way to fill the dinner pail, and keep it filled. In other words the "Hilly" Wilson of this county i a genuine Republican nnd a firm believer in Republican principle. . 4 Elect "Hilly" Wilson and feel that the important affair of the county sheriff's office are in safe hands.
