Editor News: In looking up the numerous declarations that have been placed before the people of our cauntry by those who are asking for nomination for political office, 1 fall to find wherein any of the various aspirants have declared themselves as representing any special class In terest, or appealing to any one spe cial class. They all seem to strive to make their declaration broad enough so that it will appeal to all classes, or to voters of all classes; and by so doing, of course, they must necessarily fall to represent ; materially any Important or lasting interest of any class I. e. If they should chance to be true, or under take to be true to their declarations. However, I do not doubt that some of them really represent a material lu te rest of one important class In so ciety. Yet such class (capitalist class) is lii minority, so far as num bers are concerned, and therefore It would not be wise for the person rep resenting the minority (capitalist) class to declare himself truly for such class interest. And, further, I do not doubt that such parties, If elected to office, would truly, to the best of their ability, represent such capitalist class Interest. The question might arise as to whether a mnn can represent the Interests of different classes. It is true that a man might pretend to rep resent the interests of different classes. But how could he really represent different class interests when such Interests are opposed to each other, or to one another, as the interests of all classes are at the present time? With two oppos ing armies In the field, how can 1 place myself as championing the cause of both sides? I could not. I might place myself as standing for the real interests of the fighters in the conflict by standing for peace. Yet, then you woul find that I would be represent ing one of two classes one class being In favor- of war because , it profited thereby and didn't have to do the fighting, and the other class either being opposed to wnr or Ig norant of its material class inter est because of having been taught superstition and false patriotism whereby it was duped into fighting the battles of the other class. - I undertake to stiy that there are class interests; that society is fast being formed Into two distinct classes, 1. e. the capitalist, or own ing and exploiting classes, and the producing or exploited class. The interests of these classes are neces sarily opposed to each other; lieeause one is living from the product of the othpr and thereby necessitates more labor to be performed by the other, the producing class. Incidentally, because of these two classes and the present status of the business system and society much unnecessary labor is being perform ed, such as gambling in commodities of all kinds produce, etc, 1. e. gam bling In the way of trading and gaining "other five talents' without giving any additional value to the commodity, uecently there was a controversy arose between the Inter ests of the fruit raisers of this vicin ity and the local merchants. Some of the fruit men seemed very anxious of relieving themselves from paying the profits of the merchants, and of course, the merchant wanted to make his profits for that Is the Vhlng on which he lives and from which he gts the comforts of life, nnd really hasn't he a right to live? I presume even the fruit man would admit that he had the right to live and enjoy the comforts of life, and that from the profits of his business. But there are those who do question the right of the merchant or any one else to live on profits profits from the labor of the producer. As to the unnecessary labor: we have but one postofflee in Roseburg, yet we have n dozen grocery stores. Wherpin does the work of the post office differ from that of the grocerv business? We use the one for gath ering up and distributing mail and the other for gathering up and dis tributing groceries. How would you like to have a dozen people grabbing and vying with each other to gel to handle your mail? Yet ninny of you are content In having vnnr gro ceries so promiscously handled. And why promiscously handled? Hecause yon have a dozen unnecessary gro cery stores. People performing un necessary labor. It Is not economv to waste labor In that way and the man who stands for the class Interest of the producing clss Is oppsed to such system. The man that is In favor of the capitalist class favors such system ond also a man that favorp such system favors retaining a cap italist class. The people should demand to know Which class these severnl can didates are representing. Your verv trulv, E. I,. CANNON. 1X.MAX OX POSTAL ItATF.K.

Sirs: Concerning your work drafting a hill embodying Taft'it reronimendn 1 1ons that the rates of posiaue or newspapers and periodicals lie in creased from three to four times. f lr Is 11 11 necessary for me to want your time explaining to your honor able body the probable motive ba'-V of eald Increase. The spacious pled j that Jt Is being done for the purpose of wiping out the postofflce deficit is simply absurd. It Is known by the majority, and has become a matter to Interested thinkers, that the railroads are paid many times what would be a fair re numeratlon for the work, aud is about two thirds more than would be, and will be under socialism. This is the cause of the deficit. What is the president's reason for raising pos tage to a prohibitory point unless It Is a purpose to kill off some pub lications of general circulation which are opposing, and have been oppos ed to his, and some former admin istrative errors, and the errors of the old parties? It has again become the duty of every periodical of wide circulation, also of any publication, and con gressional voting constituents, to forward to your honorable committee landing Buch a vigorous protest that said recommendations will be snowed under as completely as was the Pen rose bill that intended to muzxle the radical press. "KternnI vigilance is the price of llgerty!" And several millions of us voters are onto administrative tricks. There are already enough of rob bers of the government which means the people, mostly the plain people, without monopoly made and monopoly owned presidents catering to the railroad robbery. But then, when It is taken into consideration that railroads, trusts and other mon opoly have made a man president. what Is the poor occupant of the White House to do but their bid ding? I am not an owner of, or connect ed in any way with any periodical more than a subscriber, but do not like that burdens be imposed on vir tuous, and Innocent, while guilty monopoly is allowed to sap the life's blood from things which go for public good. Count me one among several million voters who will not submit to administrative outrage without making a vigorous kick. It may be proper to add, that 1 claim a right to have my proportional say In administrative, and congress ional affairs, because, in part, I uin old nnd experienced and ripe, and what I have to say, It Is vigorously and fearlessly' Besides, I have done more for the good of our country than the president or his predecessors and perl) up 8 than any present mem ber of congress. For had It not been for such us I, the British flag would he floating over the Capital at Wash ington. We shot to denth with Union guns America's greatest curse slavery, the owners of which, whose greatest Interest was their staple commodity, king cotton. And, Eng land, because in part of Interest in cotton fabrics, during the years of our bloody warfare, anxiously watch ed for a plausible excuse to declare for the Southern Confederacy.
