M ISREPRESENTATION and false hood never pay. The Individ ual or the organization which resort to them Is either foolish or jgnorant or both When the Coqullle Sentinel states us It does in its last Issue that about 140 Republicans attended the Coos County Republican assembly it in dulges in a wilful and deliberate He. The editor of The Sentinel was secre tary of the assembly and he knows there wore not half 140 Republicans present. To bolster up this foolish and futile falsehood The Sentinel prints a list of the delegates that were selected to attend the assembly. In this list North Marshflold is accredited with thirteen delegates, as follows: North Marshfleld Dr. C. W. Tow er, F. P. Norton, M. J. Butler, D. L. Buckingham, H. Lockhnrt, M. C. Hor ton, Albert Sellg, Jens Hanson, J. Luse, E. C. Hall, H, Sengstacken, C. Nasburg, A. D. Wa'cott. As a matter of fact, North Marsh Held was represented or rather mis represented by two, E. O. Hall and D. L. Buckingham. Of the other names at least three publicly renounced and repudiated their selection as dele Kates bcause they believe in the direct primary as a ' State law and are against the assembly. Jens Hansen, J, A. Luse and A. D. Wolcott are names given as delegates and each man of them Is against the assembly unci did not attend. Another notorious fact Is that there were less votes cast at the caucus at which these delegates were selected than there wero delegates. This Is a fair sample of the meth ods by which the ring leaders seek to crowd the assembly down the throats of Coos county Republicans. But the yank aud file will have something to say about It later, and when they do the men who are identified with the assembly may lmvo cause to regret their promlneuce. No man or group of men wits' ever .-Jncorely desirous of attaining justice for himself or others or who wished tu promote n new Idea who could not oiTure It more certainly and securely ly honest, honornblo and tru'.hful means than by misrepresentation and falsehood. The Times will stand for no such methods nor the men behind ihein. The- Myrtle Point Enterprise seek 3 to become an apo'oglst for tho ass::r. ijly by picking out a typographical er ror in The Times as a matter of cen sure. The Times repoior wrote that ihoro were C7 v;nvo tho names as proof. The lluo- Truth Is mighty and will prevail. The assembly program is merely the new gear for the old machine. This Is evident by every movement since Its inauguration. Falsehood, misrepresentation and dark lantern methods. The Times still stands as It has always stood, as the representa tive of the rank and file of the Repub licans of Coos county. Tho Times moves Into the Insurgent column and will "hoe Its own row," along with the men of the party who have some other purpose than "rule or ruin," and the blatant arrogance of a falso dlptatlon that finds Its limit only in the personal, selfishness of the little coterie that shall attempt this thing. The day Is past when a handful of men in Portland and in this city and co.unty can say what shall be done in the nanje of the party here and who shall do it and how. The attempt of the central commit tee to usurp all the authority of tho party organization is intolerable. We have had all we want of "skull-dug-gery," and the people are In no tem per or mood to stand for its revival. The Republicans of Wisconsin held an assembly the other day, but there was nov thought or suggestion of evading the State primary law by dic tating a ticket. The Republicans got together and discusged party princi ples and platform. That's the as sembly .hat Tho Times favors and that It asked- he held In Coos county. The Portland ring do not want that kind of an assembly. They want to dictate to the party who shall be Its nominees. Above all things, The Times is de sirous of a "square deal" within the party Hues. It desires to have the party reorganized upon this basis. This would afford a unanimous oppor tunity for the entire party to align itself and declare its platform and principles and then go into action with the best of partisan faith and cheer and zeal. Such an assembly would make for a revivification ot the old spirit of activity, success and victory. This program of a massing of old and new men In an honest at tempt at reorganization with all the old zest and smiles and cheers and rational expression that once marked the party and its career would be suc cessful but a machine-dominated as sembly operated from and at the be hest of Portland never. Such a system put Into effect at the capkal would have a beneficent influence on all American cities. We have not yet learned that the indi vidual should be Willing to sacrifice something for tho benefit of the whole. The more beautiful a city Is the more pride will its citizens take in it, and the more in earnest will they be that It be well goevrned. PEOPLE OX TRIAL. Tl CITY IMPROVEMENT. EFEREXCE was made not long since to the fact that Congress was considering a bill, which has since been passed constituting an art commission to control t1io se lection of pictures and statutes to be purchased by the government or erected in any public place. The de sirability of extending control, so as to regulate the character and height of buildings, was referred to, and It will be an encouragement to those who hope for the Improvement of American cities that there has been brought forward a measure which will, If adopted and found workable, help to make the capital the beauti ful city It ought to be, equal in sym metry and architectural effect to any in tho world. In situation, In its general plan, broad avenues and streets, parks and open spaces, Its public buildings, and in its ca pability to become one of the great est and most splendid cities of all time, It is unsurpassed if not un-equaled. But there has been lacking the willingness to sacrifice In any degree individual taste or preference as to the stlo and character of structure to be erected in any locality. Rather Ins it seemed often to be the delib-j orate purpose of architects and build ers to produce an effect as Inharmon ious and incongruous us possible with the environment of the houses they have put up. The tout ensemble of a block which should be treated as a unit has been wholly disregarded and any consideration of adjoining or neighboring properties altogether neglected. Illustrations of this can be found In nil parts of the city and In all our cities, and whereevcr found mar their beauty and help to fix lower HEY TELL us the assembly can didates will be on the primary ballot "on equal' terms" with other candidates. Then how is Chairman George to carry out his promise to give us "beter officials?" If all the candidates are to be "on equal terms," what Is the use of holding an assembly? The hope and desire of the assem blyltes Is that their candidates will have the advantage. If that was not their purpose, they would not, In violation of law, hold an assembly. Their game Is to concentrate on as sembly candidates and to see division and distraction among opponents of the assembly. If once thev can win bv the nlan Oregon will be theirs. Ono defeat will prevent future candidates from seeking a nomination in the open pri mary, the primary law will become Inoperative, voters will cease going to the polls on primary day and the assembly-cbnvention will be supreme. Or, what is more certain and more deadly, an assembly Governor and assembly Legislature will, by attach ing the emergency clause to bills, carve and slash the direct primary out of recognitiin, will take direct selection of Senator out of the hands of the electorate, and the people will bo powerless to prevent. The men who are for the assembly are the 16.354 who voted against It In the beginning, have been against It ever since and will bo against it forever. They op posed the 56,205 who voted for it, who have seen their judgment con firmed by the splendid results the sys tem has achieved, and who, in the peace, the prosperity, the clean State government and orderly legislative sessions see not the slightest reason for a change. The issue is whether this disgrun tled minority which was disgruntled In the beginning, is disgruntled now and will be disgruntled always, Is to rule In Oregon or whether the people will rule. The contention of the as sembly Is that the people are Incom petent and must be directed by repre sentative leaders. It is as to their competency that the people are on trial, and the test, In the next fall's election, will decide whether or not they are competent to govern, or must be governed. Portland Journal.
