Coroner...- St. Helen THE SALOON AGAIN The people of Columbia Comity have decided against prohibition, an'-. Union precinct save a majority for 1 'wets" we will con have at leut five saloons In Hoolton and St. Helens. especially as Scappooae has gone "dry and the thirsty ones ol that neighborhood will Drobablv come to St. Helens 01 Houlton when they desire to "tank up. The saloons at Scappcosc were run on the "wide open plan ;" gambling hss been permitted and other practices in dulired in until even the drinking men revolted and swept them out of exist ence. How will it be in St, Helens and Houlton? Have the local authorities enough stamina to see that the saloon' to be established are conducted in strici conformity with the law and to revoke Dromptlv the license of any saloon keeper who fails to obey its mandate Public sentiment demands it. and the liquor interests will do well to comply with the sentiment and do their utm-jst to see that their business is conduced in a manner to avert as long as possible the complete triumph of prohibition. The prohibitionist are making immense gains throughout the country, and it if undoubtedly true that the only thin that prevented their triumph in Colum bia County last Monday was the question of local taxation . The packet nerve is extremely sensitive, and in liainler, St. Helens, Clatskanie and Houlton it un doubtedly controlled a sufficient number of votes to have changed the result had they been cast In accordance with the belief of the voters. We have tried pro hibition for two years yeers in St. Hel ens and the town, has prospered, No industry has been kept from coming here by the abeeuce of liquor, the bus! nees of our merchants hss been increas ed and the town has been a better place for people to live In and raise families than it was three years ago, when it was a rare thing to be able to pass along the streets without seeing a drunken man and bearing foul language. It is going to be up to the saloon keepers to say whether they will conduct their busi ness in a manner to appease public sent iment, and the Mist, if it remains under the control of the present owner, will not hesitate to make public the real state Of affairs. Another matter that needs the prompt attention of our council is the license fee. Six hundred dollars is not too high. If we are sanctioning saloons be cause we need the meney, it is well to get all we can out of them. If it prevents any one from entering the business, so much the better. The proposition by ibe National Coun cil of commerce toestablish in Washing ton an agency of the council for the dis semination of information rettpecting domestic and foreign commerce is one that should meet with the hearty sup port of all. It is estimated bv Secretary Straus of the Department of Commerce and Labor and by the advisory com mittee of National Council of Commerce fiat tie maintenance of a proper agency in Washington, in order to fully take advantage of important information, would cost the merchants and manu facturers of the country only about 20, 000 a year. This session of congress hss broken nil records in the number of bill intro duced, the total being 29,125. Thirty eight treaties have been ratified and made public, more than had been rati fied during the twenty years proceeding. . , nil f I ' 1 1 k l U J-JV.' --'- " " " w. .... e .1. . fihiitllil;l LuUtltV Is i lie result oi mc vii-un-u ... w.... . , main a protest against the attempt of Portland cap it. 11 interfere for their own selfish purposes in the hi urn da of the politics of Columbia County. Men who had a.lv o a the equal taxation ol all property were opposed by a loiiti . i combination of timber land owners and tax dodders having a large number of uninterested voters in their cmplo were able to control the primary election. 1 hey thought that in a county so strongly Republican there would be sure success for whoever secured the Republican nomination, ami. therefore, they were not at all careful to conceal then methods. Success met them at the primaries, but at once the reaction set in. Kvcn before the voting c osed at Uatv kanic numbers of business men had expressed their disgust at the spectacle presented of men being voted as shwp arc driven to the slaughter pens, with a bell wether in the lead and a sheep dog briuguig up the rear.

JWnalur I'lMt ought tu ia tilnnUy, at least six lisudred, and elected a Demociatic Jiuige ami Assessor. James Dart and I'thcr Clark are men in whom the people of the county place the most implicit confidence and it is doubtful whether any other Democrats could have been elect ed to the offices they will hold. That Mr. Clark will make a good assessor we have no doubt. He is perfectly conscieiu tious and no class of property owners will lie unfairly tcatcd. Men of great wealth and corporations will be compelled to bear their just share of the burden of taxation, but there will be no discrimination against them. He will make errors, but will do no intentional wrong, and will fully justify the confidence the people will have reposed in htm. 1 . , e - , , ... i If Itm aUIv!e h lw rally Mr. James Dart is a business man of integrity am! ability.

TAKE THE MEDICINE This month four years ago tiie United States took hold of the I'ansma Canal Zone, and began the solution of a prob lem mainly to be solved by bard and Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat, has received a majority of the volrnca-t at the reent election for the olll.'t ol United Slates Senator, and a majority of Statement So. 1 candiiliili'i have been elected to the State LrgHature Here is a plain expression of the people that they desire Chamberlain io leprewnt Oregon in the United States Senate. The State is normally thirty thousand liepublii-an, but the land frauds and the contentions of factions have brought the party to such a disornanizi-d con- lition that Kepiiblicnns refine to vote the ticket even for national oflicrs. It is said the Fulton men knifed Cuke, and bether they did .r not the reioilt will lie the same, and Mr. 1'u Iton, should he again anpirtt lor the ponition, will lie knifed by the friends of Mr. Cake. There is but one way to avert this, and that in for the Republican party to "take ti medicine" and i unfit upon the election of Mr. Chamberlain when the Legis lature meets in Junuury next. It limy potsibly be that a six year term ot a Democratic United States Senator will cure the Republican voters of their folly arid enable tbem to unite on some can didate who will poll the full strength of the party. There will be no rhnnce for Chamberlain to work the non nrtlftil racket in UiJ United Status Hcnate. The leaders of the Democratic party will tell ieorge what to do, and tie will do it. Such men as John Slmrp Williams nnd tiunjamin Tillman will see to it that the Democratic Senator from Oregon elands up to be counted on every partisan measure and lends his aid to every at tempt to obstruct the enactment of Re publican law. Ho Is an able man and he has reached the summit of I.Ih am bition and will promptly kick into the ditch the nonpartisan ladder on which he mounted. Rournt), tlie populist, and Chamberlain the Democrat, Isn't t'.Ht a (great team to represent Republican Oregon ? It is estimated that forty years hence this country will have a population 0f 200,000,000 and several cities of from two millions to ten millions each. As 8t. Louis has already reached the fourth place tbe Million Club will have to step livalv to ksun ud Willi th proosaslon.
