THE VOTER and HIS DUTIES. The time is drawing nigh when, as an American citizen, it will not only be your privilege, but your duty a3 a good citizen, to go to the polls and vote for men for county officers and also for those who hold in their hands the dps tiny of this great Nation for the next four year?. May voters fail to realize the great responsi bility resting upon them, and hence look upon election day as a matter of pecuniary interest to the candidate for office. When the voter views from this stand point the love for money prompts his actions and he watches for "oerauisites" which sometimes fall during a heated . campaign forgetting the duty he owes to his country as a citizen. Some men conceive the idea that they should make from $2.00 to $5.00 on election day which means that the candidate shall be 'bled" for that amount and when the said candidate has been duly elected by the corruption of voters this class of men would be the first, not only to prosecute, but persecute him should he un dertake to make good from the treasury of his office the money thus spent in securing his elec tion. To this barter and trade of the sacred ballot may be traced the disgraceful scenes that have attended the selection of United States Senator and caused the clamor for his election by direct vote of the people. Honest men blush when they think of the past and realize that money flowed like oil on these occasions, with special trains running to Salem to see the honorable office of Uni ted States Senator . auctioned off to the highest bidder. Can we blame the people for being dis gusted with this condition of affairs ? Nor can we expect the politicians who were engaged in this nefarious business to bow in humble submission to any scheme looking to the abolishment of their absolute control of the sack of gold while the people wear the crown of thorns. When the "fatted calf " is killed the masses want some of the steak. In this country, with its free dom of thought and action, we lose sight of the great privileges and blessings we enjoy. Did it ever occur to you that this Nation is ruled and governed by the bal lot of her citizens, and the vote you cast is an integral part of the governmental forces ? Hence to sell it, or suffer yourself to be influenced by mercenary motives is base ingratitude to your coun try, to your family and to your friends. The candidate is supcosed to represent certain principles laid down by the party to which he belongs and should, in all hon esty and sincerity, receive the united support of his parly. If the principles for which he stands do not meet with your approval it is not only your privilege, but your duty, to use all honorable means to encompass his defeat. Because men, at times, violate .their oath of office and prove rec reant to the trust imposed in them, is no excuse whatever for you to remain away from the polls. If you believe in Jefferso nian democracy, use all the power at your command to have men nominated by your party worthy of support. If you care to follow the 'Peerless Leader' emulate his example and make your party realize that you must be con sulted else you will knock the slate prepared for you into' smith ' ereens. If you entertain the lar ger views and principles enumer ated by the G. O. P. which have brought peace, presperity and happiness to this great country for the past forty years, in the name of the supreme power that has guided us as a nation we urge you to rally to its support. Would you fight for your coun try in time of war ? Fight also in time of peace with your ballot. Can you formulate a single thought and have it enacted into law by staying away from the polls and complaining that rot- pie. It is so much easier to fol tenness exists in governmental low the lead of one's feelings than affairs, or in your party ? Show your love and patriotism by tak ing an active interest in all ques tions which have a tendency to purify the atmosphere around you and thus be a blessing to your country. It is indeed strange that men must be urged to go and register in order to exercise the right to vote, yet, if for any reason, men should be disfranchised what a mighty howl we would hear. If you have not registered do it now. Why should you delay a matter so important? Whether republican, democrat or socialist go and register and do it now. When the time comes to vote, both in the primary and general election, do your whole duty by going to the polls and voting ac cording to the dictates of your own conscience ana it win mase you a better and truer man. THE RECALL. One of the proposed amend ments to the constitution of the state to be submitted to the voters at the June election is known as the "Recall Amend ment." The purpose of this is to subject every public officer in the state to ouster of office. It pro vides that after an officer has been in office six months he may be recalled dispossessed of his office by the voters of the elec tion district from which he was elected. It provides that one-fourth of the voters, in such district, who voted for justice of the supreme court at the preceding election may file a petition demanding his recall. A special election must then be ordered and held within twenty days to determine wheth er the people will recall such offi cer. This petition shall set forth the reasons for his recall, and a two hundred word statement of them shall be printed on the sam pie ballot. The assailed officer may defend himself in like man ner and to the same extent. We would object to this amend ment for the following reasons, viz : First : It is unnecessary. Pub lic officers must obey the laws for the conduct of their office, By mandamus a public officer may be compelled to do his duty and by injunction he may be re strained from illegal acts. What more is necessary ? The courts are easy of access. Second : A few disgruntled men, personal enemies it maybe, may eather the number of signa tures required for a petition. Nothing would be easier than this and nothing more probable. Third : It would be a piece of injustice to the officer. His ac cusers would not be compelled to confront him with witnesses giv ing testimony under oath and subjected to examination. Nei ther could he defend himself by such means. The charges would simply be the two hundred words in which a few men would say, "Tommy did," and the only re ply which could be made is "Tom my didn't." Fourth : It would incur great expenditure of 'ime and money which would fall upon the satis fied majority of voters and tax payers. The majority of tax payers should not be made sub ject to the exploitation of a few men none of whom may be a tax payer to the extent of anickle. Fifth : It would render the tenure of office so uncertain and insecure that no man who had any sort of employment whatever would accept a public office. The result would be that the' offices would fall into the hands of unfit men, men unfit for everything else and, therefore, unfit for pub lic office. These are some of the reasons why this proposition should be defeated at the polls in June. SENTIMENT vs. PRINCIPLE. Who bas not heard the asser tion, "Every man should vott his sentiments?" ' It is probable this is jast what hundreds of men do. In fact r appears that not frequently th mass of men are swayed mere . . i i mere sentiment man uy pnnti to dig down deep and mine tor basic principles, that we are prone to excuse ourselves from such la bor and to accept our feelings, our sentiments as being just as safe a guide to' action as any well-defined set of principles might be. It is but a short step further until we come to accept our sentiments as real principles. But there is a vest difference between sentiment and principle. Sentiment is feeling based on thought. Thought may be pro found or shallow, correct or erro neous, righteous or unrighteous It follows, then, that our feelings or sentiments tnusi tatte on in ever changing complexion of out thoughts and cannot always nor frequently be accepted as saft guides to action. Principles are basic or tunda- mental truths. There can be no false principle neither can there be any conflict between princi ples. When we think truth con flicts with truth our logic is at fault, we are not thinking accu rately. Principles being "per ipsius" true, all who accept truth must accept them. Yet while men must unite in accepting prin ciples they may justly differ as to the application o. them. This exolains. to some extent, the seeming difference in principles between political parties. Sentiment, that is right senti ment, has its place in human af fairs, and often acts a patriotic, humane and truly righteous part, but only when it stands on prin ciple, when it is inspired by pro found attachment to well-under stood principles. In business and politics, how ever, sentiment should find little place. . Enlightened selfishness is a better leader in these than is sentiment. The business man first thinks how be may, in jus tice to others, best promote his own interests, the patriot how he may best serve the interests of his country We have always been mistaken when mere sentiment determined our political action. Sentiment, chiefly, gave the Negro, late a bondsman, the privilege of elec tive franchise ; sentiment bound us to establish a protectorate over Cuba ; sentiment shapes our course in the Phillipines. These are but a few examples, but they well illustrate how even the no bleat sentiment is not a safe guide. At present idealistic sentiment greitly abounds in all lines of human activity. It confronts u In our civic duties and seeks to direct our political action. With no little skill, with seeming jus tice and simulated patriotism; with false logic and baseless hopes .t seeks to excite our feelings and would persuade us that such sen timents are fundamental truths or the plain deductions from basic principles and should be permit ted to direct our political action. If such idealisms are examined they will be found to rest on no accepted and approved principles. Some of them are directly sub versive and destructive of the best tried and approved principles of government. The wise, patriotic citizen will turn away from them in disgust and absolutely refuse to give them the seal of his ap proval. This must he do or foolish, mischievons, plausible sentiment will sap and ultimately de?troy the very foundations of our in stitutions. Colonist Rates.

The United States Postal De partment has made new regula tions in regard to carrying second class mail matter ( such as news papers, magazines, periodicals, etc.) the same going into effect January i, 1901?, and allowing publishers to April 1, 19s?, to prepare their subscription lists in accordance with the new order of things. The effect of the change practically compels the establish ment of new relations between the publisher and subscribers of county papers. The department ruling requires that subscriptions entitled to the second class postage rate shall not be delinquent longer than the following periods of time: ' Dailies within three months. Tri-weeklies within six months. Semi - weeklies within nine months. Weeklies within one year The malls are not forbidden to subscribers who are in arreais longer than the time provided in the new ruling, but these subscri bers are placed in a separate class idcation, requiring a higher rate of postage , the rate being so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price ot sub-1 scription. The reason given by the gov ernment lor making tnis order is that second class mail matter i being carried through the mails at a rate of postage thereon which is less than the cost of car riage. The Gazette has heretofore been liberal in giving t its sub scribers time to pay for their sub scriptions, by paying $200 per year for those past due and $1.50 per annum when the same was paid in advance. Having made the difference in the past-due and advance rate has resulted in giv dng the Gazette a larger portion of paid up subscribers. This rule must now be changed according to Uncle Sam's order, as the newspaper has no voice in the matter. The Gazette invites its patrons to settle their dues soon. Jersey Bull For Sale. -.
