TIIK (IOBKTV OKI'ICIAIi lAI'Klt EVERYBODY SATISFIED. 'I ho cli'clion last Tuesday resulted in a vic- r . I. . II I I! i . .1 ton I"1 lnc i"!111""!'1" I'-" i u"i tuny in On'iiii luit in several oilier stales. It dem onstrateil tliat the trend of public opinion is again tiirninjf favorably toward tlie principles ( Ui'puMieaiiisni and that hy the time the next National election comes a Republican victory will be assured. Considerable ijains were made in Congress by the Republican jutilv and so small is the majority of the Dem ocrats in the .House that it will Ti-iiiri- a full partv vote to carry a partisan measure. In Oregon every Republican on the state i . . j . t . . e it. liiKcl was ciei leu u ini: i'.cepiiou oi c un ci St.ite Senator, to which office Senator i hMiilicrlain, the Democrat, was rc-ckeio. 'Il.c reasons for his election were not partisan iv any means but more largely local. Sen ator C li;inilerlain is a very popular man wit'i the people of Oregon. He lias Wen in office in this stale for more than twenty vcar. He lias a wide acquaintance ov.r ilio eiui'M st.ite. lie lias made a good officer inall .he p.siiions he has filled, judging from a non-partisan standpoint. Aside from his Democratic polka-s Senator Chamberlain is a very sat i Utiiy man. Also, the Republican nominee, Mr. l'.ootli, was not a strong man for the reason that he had been rou'ectn' iih a Iar;;e limber corporation and" his company Lad been in the Courts with refcier.ee to ll.e -iccuring of title to the lands. Many eii.i'gcs wrc made against him, and whether true or mil. they had the effect of turning thousands uf o:irs awav from him. As a matter uf fact it has-been clearly piovtii during tbi.i .ainpaign to people who haw studied the fusiion arising, that .Mr. i.:otn is ;. eiean, ;il !c Mid' conscientious man a'l'' wjuM hr.ve In en a credit to Oregon in t'.e United States Senate, but the very fact that there was a time whin he had an indictment against him by :lie I'ederal Court and that some uf the land owned by his company was taken away by ilie government, was sulticient, umler the iu'iiinstanees of having all these tlnt'i'-i en larged upon and exaggerated, to cause his de- IitiI 'tin. rrimiKiiim . ,f riliiisi- iliri-rlCil M'.'l'.llSt Dr. ithyembe, without ju.-t M.'-.c, did not have the effect it was intended it shouV. The fact that no word touching rpon hi ; integrity "r honest v of purpose or sus'iViin irirmm- laiu'cs of his long public bfu 1:1 ihi sUi'.c, mild be made, caused the people to hav: e- Mi-wed coiifiilence in him.

'I his nieihod uf enmnaitruiue met with favor and lis great majority attests the confidence of lie people in the man. Dr. Withycombe will "ake an excellent governor. In Columbia County the entire Republican "'kct was elected ' with I lie exception oi '"iiniy treasurer to whicti office the present reasurer. R. S. Hattcn was clecu .!. a l.Viu 'to'it. Mr. Hattan has filled the office dnr ,!K the j:i st two years at a salary entirely in ''lequalc for the work done. He has attend- ' to the business of the county in a very care 1 and satisfactory manner. He is also a " well known all over the country while s Ueiiiiblienn numim-nt was not known so n - In his election there was something a personal nature too, like that of Senator hainbt rl.iin. Mr. Hattan is a popular man the people and nearly always lands what "-' Roes after in the way of politics. He .;. evcrynouy and everynouy khow nun. 'l' has hehl various offices in the county and is a clean record. His election was a forc-"ll- conclusion. The other officers elected rc all men of character and standing in the "nty. The campaign for county officers as a pretty clean one, very little of the usual 1:,racler assassination and mud slinging be- 'K resorted to. The election is over. Ciood lL''i have been elected. Good results arc ex- l"ed from them. Everybody is stlis'tod '1'iiet in a political way will now be the 'd'T for some time. (ittrt t; 'lie rebuke given the theorists and re- ''".'I' fid at last Tuesday's election in the de- ni . . .... .t. 1,1 ji nearly every initiative measure on me ballot, should be a lesson to stop tinkering ji'i'l trying to fool the people. The initiative law has been badly abused ever since it went into effect in Oregon. All kinds of freak bills have been proposed and in most instances have been defeated, although a few of the foolish ones have gone through. Each suc ceeding election some dangerous and vicious laws are proposed and each time they are it hurls industrial Oregon. 'J here is; alw.ays danger of some of Uiem passing that would work a hardship on somebody. Hut a few inoic lessons like that of last Tuesday will work winders for t lac initiative law and will 1 Sivc capital more confidence in the wis dom of the people at large. Ere many years have passed the ballots will begin to assume normal size and the theorists and personal spite law makers will see the uselessncss of trying to fool all the people all the time. When that day conies the initiative will have proved a success. :ci;:j; The charge was made after the recall elec tion in September that many illegal votes were east in St. Helens. This charge was made an account of the unusually large vote. '1 he vote last Tuesday, when no effort was made by anybody to get the voters out, exceeded the recall vote more than one Wn drcd and no person can say that any illegal votes were cast then. This fact cleany Icm. n strates that St. Helens is gelling to he :juite a respectable city in size and that the charges of illegal voting were not based on fact but on imagination. On September 22 there were N13 votes cast in the three St. Helens pre cincts. Last Tuesday there were ihout VJO votes cast and had the full von. been out more than 1000 votes would have been put into the ballot boxes by strictly legal voters. In the county the vole cast was approximate ly i, 5U so il will readily be seen that St. I iel .ns is no small part of i county when it i"insc to popu'atiji. Si. lieK-.iS is giving and will continue to grow if the business conditions remain normal. Wc have a:i id'Y.l location for a city. We have already some of the leading manufacturing industries in the state and if business conditions warrant, there will be many more. Our people all have faith in the future of the city and the prediction of the Mist in 1912 that St. Helens would be a city of 5000 population in 1917 bids fair to be come true. Watch St. Helens grow. 0$iit We trample upon the sprouts of today and gaze with admiration upon the giants that were sprouts of a former generation. . And it is much the same in municipal affairs. We think too much of the ending and not enough of the beginning. Wc overlook the little things of today which have in them the making of the big ones of tomorrow. '1 jiis tendency of human nature is -strikingly illustrated in the case of a gentleman who bad occasion to spend a week in a coun try town, and was remarkably impressed by the uniform courtesy shown him by the citi zens of the place. If he was interested in a public building, or a park, or a manufacturing enterprise, a dozen men were ready with in formation and explanations, pointing out the various advantages, and with ever a good word for the people. This made him wel come. A few weeks later while traveling in an other state he met a manufacturer who was in search of a change of location for his plant, lie mentioned the place he had recently left, and spoke in flowing terms of the people, their characteris-tics , and especially of their courtesy to the stranger within their gates. The manufacturer was much impressed, and a few days later visited the place, lie is now there with his factory and his 150 employes. Truly, a man's tongue has a wonderful in fluence upon the future of his own town, it There. was no doubt about the wish of the people on the prohibition question at the elec tion this week. The majority was so decisive that no possible question can arise as to legaT ity, form or result. It is well that it is so. If the state is to be dry it must be dry. The law nuist'be strictly enforced so that the question will be forever settled. If prohibition is a good thing it will be permanent If it is not a success' it will be demonstrated by a fair trial. There will be no excuse for an unfair trial. The people have spoken and the great question that has been agitating Ore gon for so long will he settled for all time. i;, 0 1,-: lit ill !: ,! sit Again wc feel it to be a duty to the public of this city to call the attention of the City Council to the impassable condition of the street crossing in front of the post office, It is a disgrace o the city and a very great incon venience to the.pcoplc.
