In reading accounts of the Fourth of
Jnlv celebration in different parts of the
State one notices that the orators of tho
day trave more attention than usual
iM.iiitiiigoiit existing evils and suggest
in. rrmediet therefor than to fulsome
euloifv of the country' greatness ami
prosperity. Thii is a healthful sign o(
the times and should give encourage
ment to all who love their country. I
Mine instances, however, the orators
were pessimistic in the extreme and por
travexl a state of affairs that does not
and never ill exist in the United States
We will always have abuse to combat
for the meinent we have destroyed one
evil another will spring iuto existence.
The declaration that "all men are born
free and equal" wa made by men who
believed In African slavery, and their
descendant were foremost in the a,
temDt to destroy the Federal nuion
The freedom of 1770 would seem like
mockery to the working people of toda;
Yet it was the best the world had known
and every year of the intervening cen
tury has brought as nearer to a realita
tion of the ideal set up in the Declara
tiou. It is doubtful, however, if any of
the intervening years have been pro
ductive of as great progress as the pre
sent. The knowledge of exieting evils
we have had and the demand for refi rtn
lias beeu general, but the people were
losing hop-s and bad absolutely lost all
faith in any reform being brought about
by our law-makers. The Senate of the
United Slates had become the servant of
capital and seemed ready and able to
balk any movement for the relief of the
common people. President McKinley
though a man of good intentions, seemed
utterly powerless, and President Roose
velt, daring his first term, did nothing
that justified the hope that he would
lead tbe people in the attack upon the
trusts and corporations. He has proved
a thorn in the flesh of the evil-doers,
and, backed by an aroused public senti
ment, he has compelled the Senate of
the Vnited.States to bow before the rising
storm and enact such legislation as will
at least give a great measure of relief.
But the source of all the evil is in the
fact that the power to obstruct reforms
and prevent the correction of abases is
lodged in a body wbos3 memliers owe
their political existence to the people's
enemies. So long as the Senate of the
United States is elected by Legislatures
in which the balance of power is par
chasable, the rights of the people will be
endangered. The Oregon experiment
holds out more bope than all the vic
tories achieved by Roosevelt's dictorial
methods. Keforni should come from
Congress, and witbont compulsion, other
then tbe knowledge that tbe tennre of
office depends upon tbe will of tiie peo
ple and not upon tbe pleasure of the peo
ple's enemies. Oregon has blazed the
way, and if the Legislature abides by
the people's will, Jonathan Bourse will
have tbe greatest opportunity to serve
his country that was ever given to any
Senator of the United States.
only iiosnible remedy mi applied that of
municipal ownership. Portland owns
its own water work and it has an
abundant supply, at reasonable rate, of
the best watsr in the world. . In pur
chaw by the city was violently opposed,
and the howl of "aoriAlistii" was raised
against it; but, fortunately for Portland,
it was not at that time considered so
promising Held for Investment, and the
people were permitted to secure this
greatest of all nubile utilities. Now. I
while the city is just beginning to grow,
it should secure, by condemnation pro
ceedings, if necessary, the ownership of
the public utilities of light and transpor
tation. Street car line and electric
light and telephone plants can be con
ducted more economically by a munici
pality than by a private corporation, be
cause public ownerhip will tqucete the
water out of tlieui and rates can be
baaed on actual values and running
expenses rather than on watered stoc
and immense salaries, and public evils
surh as The Oak, would not be per
milted to exist for the purpose of adding
to the swollen prolits of the franrhis
grabbers.
A RARE Jt'IttiE.
GIVE US A REST.
Tbe campaign it barely ended in Oie-
gou before we are called upon to listen
to a disenstiou of the issues and the men
it is supposed will be before the public
inlitCW. Tbe daily prtta is filled with
the utterances and the movements of
Bryan and Taft.w hoare supposed to be
the foremost candidates for the presi
dential nominations. A little of this
all right, and next winter, when tbe crop
season is over aud the cord wood sbel
tered.the farmers nicy have time to dis
cuss the tariff, tbe trasts, thequantitativs
theory of monev, and alt the rest of it.
bat just at present they are too buy
They are getting in a big crop of hay
and all sorts of grain, and they are too
tired at night to care whether or not til
ver ana wheat are running mates, or
whether the prosperity of the Nation
depeuda entirely upon a Pennsylvania
tariff. These are important matters but
no harm will lie done by postponing
their active discussion at least for one
year, and we believe the country will be
better oS aud business better if we post
pone the necessary evil of a presidential
campaign as long as possible. The
country is prosperous. Capital is being
liberally invested and labor is fully em
ployed at good wages. The presidential
campaign may upset all this, for men's
actions, are based entirely npon
their beliefs, and if a large body
of investors believe their investments
will be endangered br the success of cer
tain political DrinciDles. thev will, if
such success teems probable, retrench in
every way possible, and this retrench
ment brings about temporary bard
times. Don't stir up the animals until
the performance is about to begin.
A BANKING LAW.
MITCHELL ACQUITTED.
The Seattle jury, on Tuesday last,
rendered a verdict of acquittal in the
case of George Mitchell, charged with
the murder of Fram Edmund Creffiield,
leader of the famous Holy Rollers, on
May 7. Notwithstanding the order ol
the presiding judge, the verdict was le-j
ceiveu ny the audience in the court
room with a roar of approval. There
was no dispute as to the facts of the
killing, and the excuse of insanity would
have had no weight with the jury under
ordinary circumstances. They found
Mitchell not guilty because they believed
thai Creffield deserved bis fate, and that
bis slayer did good work for humanity
when he killed biui. Creffinld, by his
peculiar power, attained an influence
over bin followers that eaused women to
desert their husbands and their children
and to join with him in the practice of j
indecent ceremonies in the name of I
religion, nnueatli was no compensa
tion or atonement. It simply ended his
balei'ul career and was ns justifiable as
the killing of a mnd dog.
The next Legislature will be called
upon to enact a law for the regulation
of the banking business in this State,
xnere isneea ol a law for this purpose,
but it will be well for the people to know
just what kind of a law is to be passed
A banking law may be in the interests
of the people, or it may be in the in
terest of the banks, and it may be in the
interests of the large concerns and aimed
to crash oat smaller ones.
Country banks are a great convenience
to the people, and a bank with S,000
capital or even iess, is just as safe as one
with 1500,000 capital. Yet the small
bank may not be able to do business on
the same line as the larger one. Here'
tofore the country people, notably those
of this county, have been compelled to
borrow from private capitalists, and thev j
have paid "through the nose" for this
privilege. Recently, however, banks
with small capital have been started in
numerous places and have proved a
great benefit to local merchants, as well
as the farming community, and any at
tempt to place unjust restrictions upon
these institutions should be prevented.
A law that provides for "safe" banking.
and due publicity of the financial stand
ing of all banks will meet the approval
of the people, but a cinch law, framed
to give the big institutions full control
by putting the smaller ones out o? bus
iness, will meet with defeat under the
referendum.
Judge Woftord, of Kunsna, refused to
hang a convicted murderer the other day,
on very wholesome grounds, that invite
the earnest attention of every thinking
American, The defendant was poor,
ignorant, helpless negro who had killed a
bull) of his own race. The jury found
him guilty of murder in the first degree,
and the judge, in his final arraignment
of the poor wretch, withheld the full
penalty, on the following humane,
manly and dignified hypothesis;
" You're guilty of murder all right,
but you're a poor, ignorant black own,
and I don't want to hang you. You have
no friends. You have no one to plead
that you were insane when you killed
this man. If I sentence you to hang, you
will hang just as sure a there ia a God
in heaven. There will not be a lot of
women circulating petitions to save your
your neck. There will not be a lot of
fool men writing letters to the governor
to save you. No one will send you
flowers. You will just be forgotten until
the day set for your hanging, and then
they II bang you. I'll sentence vou to
:W yean in the penitentiary.

E. E. QUICK
of
When tbe country is in danger, and
the drumbeat is heard calling American
volunteers to rally to its defense, no
voice has ever been lifted to tell tbe
stalwart uianhood offering their lives
to vindicate tbe national authority and
honor, that a part of their reward,
should they live to be old and helpless,
would be disfranchisement. It is the
idea of citizenship, embleinued by the
Aug, that has inspired and thrilled the
citizen-soldiers who mainly fought all
the wars of the United States to a sue-
cessful issue. Their full rivhts of citi
zenship are peculiarly precious to old
soldiers, who have shown a williugness
to suffer the greatest hardships, and to
die, that these rights, on which the na
tion is based, may be preserved for them
selves and others.
No decision of the supreme court
Missouri has ever given greater satis
faction to its patriotic inhabitants than
that reversing the act of Circuit Judge
Evans, in deciding that the inmates of
the state home for federal soldiers were
not entitled to vote, because, in Judge
Evan's opinion, thev were on the tame
footing as mendicants in the poorhonses,
The decision of Judge Lamm of tbe state
supreme court reversing tbe decision of
Evans is a most timely and welcome
state document, and expressed in terms
worthy of an American patriot, as well
as of a jurist who can see the difference
between a beggar in an almshouse and
soldier in a home gratefully provided for
him by state or nation. The humiliation
placed npon the American volunteer and
on American citizenship by Judge Evans,
has been judicially redressed within the
state's own boundaries, and this is one of
the best things that ever happened for
Missouri's reputation. St. Louis Re
