This is the year when every Republi

majorities will itrensrthen the party in

It is (fenevaUy knrtwn that among the
five proposed amendments to the Con
stitution of Oregon, to be voted on at
the coming election, is one proposing
to give the right of suffrage to women.
Itnt very littlo is being said alnnit it
here. There is every indication that it
will be allowed to go by default by the
few persons in the State who are in
favor of the proposition. Indeed, there
is an organization of women, with head
quarters in Portland, opposing tiie
adoiition ot the amendment. Several
outhe most prominent women in the
State are connected with it. Just how
active they are, or will be in the coming
campaign, we have, no reason ot pre
dicting. Salem Statesman.
Tiik troubles of business men multi
plied under the last .Democratic admin
istration which they will not readily
forcet. Thcv rememlr how ban! it
was to dispose of goods, and doubly so
when trying to make collections. What
a revelation today compared with four
ve-tra ago, when the irenerat trenu
of business was stagnation, with factor
ies closed down, men outot employment,
and hard times. It is agitators like
Cyclone Davis, the fWe calamity
DroDhet. who wants to stagnate the
country again b)th financially and in-
uustriuHv. Ami IniumooKers are to
have this political agitating calamity
howler thrust upon them with his false
doctrine. Tillamook Headlight.
DrRrNa the palmy days of free trade
talk, when Mill? and Wilson bills were
I the fashion of the hour, it was actually
i prophesied that the passage of the latter
bill would settle the question of the
tariff for a generation. In fact, it did
settle it. It brought in so little revenue
ttrat President Cleveland was obliged to
borrow right and left, and business went
into a hole and drew the hole in after it.
It is a curious fact that the passage of
protective tariff acta is always followed
by periods of prosperity, and the as
cendancy of free trade has always just as
surely brought on panics and hard times.
?fo one need fear of being politically
lonesome running independent this
year, for they will find nil sorta and
kinds of political outcasts in the crowd.
Some have been driven from one party,
others from all prrtiea, and stiil others
have been shanghaied from their party
and put aboard the leaky independent
craft. Misery loves company and addi

Ill the Mist of May 4th, I noticed this
editorial in regard to woman's suffrage.
"The woman suffrage proposition lias
few advocates in this county. In fuel,
throughout the State, as near as we can
f.irm an idea in regard to the matter by
scanning otir exchanges the question is
discussed as litllo as it is here. The
women advocates, so far ns we have
seen, belong to that element which is
continually t'linipiug around the coun
try, lecturing on woman's rights and
kindred subjects, to avoid their plain
duty to home ami family. One can
always j.idgo their business by their
apiK'aiancc. Their dresses are are seen
to strike them somewhere between their
knees ami the tops of their shoes; their
voices sound like a cat tight, ami their
phv.-iognomv would frighten a cyclone.

cause all men ami women who are, in-h-rected
in tho welfare of their country
and homes, to ponder upon, not with
nrt'iudiccd minds, but with a clear un
derstanding as to whether allowing
women to vote will or will not beneht
our countrv. I believe any unpreju
diced, intelligent mau, if be will assert
his ideas without fear of injuring him
self politically or otherwise, will admit
women should vote; that it is their
right just as much as it is man's. And
why should they not, vote? Are they
not ai intelligent and as well educated
ssmeu? Have they not proven them
selves capable of filling any position in
business?
An opposer would say as the editor
does: It will causo a woman to avoid
her plain duty at home, and give her
the appearance- of the animal he to

a poll tax ; or csn't shoulder arms and

Influenced, in fact, not strong-minded
enough to till any important office or
cast an unprejudiced unhampered vote.
They say it was never intended that
women should vote, ami will almost
storm with rage and shame at the idea
of their mothers, wives, sisters and
danghters going to the poles to vote
among a lot of low drunken men. They
can't see why women should want to
vote. Don't "men show women all the
attention due her, which she would not
get if she voted? Perhaps, 1ml in the
matter of voting they forget "what is
sauce for the goose is tauce for the gan
der." I will answer these questions
from my own views and the views of
all intelligent unprejudiced men and
women. Women do not want to vote to
avoid home duties or to keep men out of
office. Xo, they have a highor, holier
motive. We know by the long-suffering
past and present that men have failed
to vote down the open saloon and other,
places cf wickedness that are mining
our eons and daughters. e know
those elements of wickedness can be j
controlled onlv bv the ballot. Temper-!
aru-e people and other worthy organiza-1

tied when it conies to wiping out these
evils. It is the aim of everv good
woman and thank Ood there are more
good than bad ones who w ishes to vote
tohe'ptr.e conscientious men wij out
those evils. In doing this there is no
need of her n gleeting her family. She
can go if need be, with some member of
her family, cast hervote and go quietly
home as she would from church, there
being no need of her stopping by the
way or lingering around the. polls, lt
ting, drinking or fighting.
Will it make a woman less womanly
because she wishes to help make and
enforce laws she must lie punished ami

This Is a presidential year, Orcgou

important and fur-reaching new policies
of tho Republican parly. Two years
ago, when ine country nan scarcely
emerged from the trouble and dangers
of a successful war, Oregon gave to the
Nation two Republican Representatives
and a Republican K-nator to uphold the
hands of a Republican Oovcritiiicht nnd
to aid in the correct settlement of the
mighty questions arising from that con
flict. ' '1 lint was done because it ap
peared to lie the state's triutio duty.

say, vou enn't vote because you might
deprive us of some of our authority.
Why, the kicking of ti e wilda t mule
wouldn't be any comparison.
Prof. C. N. Howard in an address in
New York said: "This nation cannot
sow the seeds of anarchy and reap loy
alty to law. It cannot license law-break-ers'and
reap honest law-makers. And
if this government, founded upon the
virtue, morality and intelligence of its
citizens, is to endure, we must sweep
from the land this but bed of ignorance,
immorality and anarchy the American
saloon. And man faili to put down this
vice that must one day wreck our Ja
tion unless stopiwd. Woman has proven
she can, by saloons being stopped, whe
she has a vote.
Now, voters of Columbia County, and
the State of Oregon, will yon not, by
coming boldly to the front in June und
casting your vote in favor of woman's
suffrage, declare yourselves willing to
aid your mother's wives and daughters
in putting down these evils and thereby
protecting yonr homes and native land
from the curse of a besotted -Nation?
I do not write this article for contro

our own importance when we think
that as Oregon goes so may go the Na
tion. We know that in 1SW the voice
of the Slnto was heard and heeded
from one end of the land to the other.

Colimbia County is just on the eve of
great commercial and industrial devel
opment. To elect a Populist to repre
sent the County in the State Legislature
would have no good effect in hurrying
the time when capital is to come into)
our County and develop our innumcra-1
ble natural resources. Men with large
sums of capital have a peculiar faculty
of steering clear of such localities be

As the time for the election draws
vote in the County. Mr. Jtowler
receive a great many votes from the
other party.
The Democratic party cannot stand
twice on the same platform. In
Democracy stood for free trade, or "tariff
reform." But in 18!HJ they dropped
tariff reform, and stood for ''free silver."
In 1900 they are dead anxious to drop
free silver and spring something new
"anti-imperialism," "anti-trust," or any
old thing that will detract attention
from their former campaign cries. For
rest Grove Times. And it may be added
too, that it is deucedly careful to evade
the discussion of present financial, com
inercial and labor conditions.
The political outlook for 1900 is very
promising for the Republican party.
The money question is practically set
tled jn favor of sound money; the
friends of expansion include three
fourths of the American people, and
there seems to lie no indications of the
Republicans losing any of the States
they carried in lh'.Ki, unless it be Ken
tucky, while they are almost sure to
carry Washington, South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and Kansas, which went for
Bryan in 18iK5. Verily, the way of a
palamity howler is hard during a Re
publican administration.
This should be a straight Republican
year, in respect to the support of any
man who may have a voice in determin
ing or directing JNationaf policies. I lie
issues are loo importsnt fo trust to luck
or accident or to the Demopopulistic
party. Free silver is dpad beyond the
remotest danger of resurrection. But
we have the large questions of National
and business expansion, the construc
tion of the N'ieaingua canal, and other
important, issues. 1 Jo not think of vot
ing for a candidate fur the Legislature
or lor Congress who is r.ot a Republican
and in full sympathy with his party ou
these great questions;.
The Republicans in this Connty are
going to vote their ticket this year, and
vote it straight. Many voters' from the
opposition side will vote the Republican j every ten girls
ucKri, oreaum; uiey are natlMieu wim
the mansgement of the County itfl'airs,
and disgusted with the isms of the Fu-sion-for-ofiice
combination.
Ix "whereasing" and "resoluting" in
favor of General Aguinaldo and General
Lnna, our Populist fusion-for-office
neighbors seem to have completely ig
nored General Prosperity. Well, they
never did take kindiy to'bnsiness thrift
and industry.
It is gratifying to hear the many ex
pressions of entire satisfaction with the
Republican ticket throughout the
County. The Fusion plum crop is very
likely to get nipped by frost by June
4th. The cold wave is approaching.
Tub increased scale of wages in Co
lumbia County during the past two or
three years has a tendency to remove
the scale from the eyes of the voters as
regards, the free silver and anti-administration
doctrine.
There is not much likelihood that the
dinner pail will figure in Deinopopulis-
tic speeches this year. It is not so full
of wind as it was four years ago. Ex.
A vote for Norrnnn Merrill Is a vote
for Henator Mcliride. A vote against
Norman Merrill is a vote directly against
Senator Mcliride.
The fusion-for-office gang have a great
and "growing" ambilion to save the
country from the Republican party
and prosperity.
were not so just. Women, we know, as
a class, are lietter educated than men.
Look at the city, country or village
school. How many boys finish even
the eighth grade? Most of our finish
ing clases average about one boy to
We cannot fail to see
that women are filling all positions with
credit. A question not long ago was
asked in the Ladies Home Journal,
why women were crowding men out of
employment, and how could it tie
avoided ? The answer was : All employ
ers look for the best when employing
lhe only way to stop so many womeu
from being employed is to excel them.
Women excel because they are more
careful and less dissipated. "Women are
more conscientious and are guarded
more by their mother instinct. They
would give life itself to guard their dear
ones from the evils now surrounding
them, and I will repeat that there is no
other way thati by ballot. If we live in
an atmosphere of pests we cannot but
expect that some of our family will per
ish from it, and so it is with mothers.
No matter how faithfully she may ad
minister her home training, the saloon
and brothel licensed by men ttnd just
within a stone'B throw of some of their
homes, will claim them. She can't vote
against the license that will allow her
husband to spend the money that should
buy bread for herself and children, and
why? Just because she is a woman.
Think you bad she the power would not
she give her vote to stop the saloon that
is slaying 60,000 of our people every
year? Would she not vote to stop the
canteen saloon that is slaying more of
our soldiers than the natives of the
Philippines?
Again we hear it argued that a woman
voting will cause strife between husband
and wife and will cause more divorce
cases. Do you notice any more divorce
cases in Kansas and other States which
give women the privilege of voting, than
in Oregon, Washington and California?

strongly these things and am assured
thc evils spoken of can only be crushed

Tho Populits of Kansas struggled
valiantly with the disconcerting pros
perity of the country, and evolved the
following: "The mission of Populism
is to restore the country to certain con
ditions, from which it has departed
such as low taxation, greater liberty
and more widely distributed prosper
ity," Here are a few solid facts from
the "ttatistienl abstract" covering thirty
years, just issued from Washington:
"In IWiO the amount of. money in the
country was f 18.05 for each inhabitant;
now it is f.'J0.12. In 1809 the amount in
actual circulation was $17.00; now it is
$25.13. In 1809 the debt for each per
son was $04.43; now it is $15 20. In
180(1 per capita interest charges on the
public debt amounted to $:i.:i2; now
they are but 53 cents. In the Gov
ernment took from each person in reve
nue I.H2 ; now it takes but $0.78. In
1H69 the tariff collected was $4.08 per
capita ; now it is hut $2.03 In 180W we
sold to foreign countries 7.2 for each
inhabitant; now we sell $15.84."
Prosperity will never he distributed
widely enough, and taxation will never
lie low enough, to satisfy a Populist.
When a Populist is satisfied, lie ceases
to be a Populist. Oregonian.
