THE SOCIALIST ORATOR
Mr. 11114'a itw hall was oieucd last
H,im BUim.iy evenm,. Mr. Lewis, Uie social-
.00 1st orator who Hits made several speeches
in Columbia County, bulng the soeukrr
ot Uie occasion. There was unite a
Urge attendance and the speaker seemed
to have the sympathy ot hi audience.
He scored both the old parties and pre
sented a picture of the conditions ex
isting "tinder the present system" thai
is really deplorable if true. He claimed
there are O.OlXUXW hobos in the United
States at the present time and tint one
out of every four of children liortt to
working ptHiple die from lack of food or
lack ol cloth! tig and that whoever votes
either the Republican or the iHutioeratlc
ticket votes for the murder ol these I11-lea-eiita.

Columbia county is only about live to
the thousand we suppose his statistics
do not apply here, and when ho states
that the people are In worse condition
now than they ever were in the hiatory
Ol the world we believe, to put It mildly,
that he is mistaken. He told a story of
seeing a patent shovel near Medford tlml
did the work of !kX) men and only re
quired four men to operate It, thus dis
placing, according to his theory, '.".si
men., ere the men at work when the
steam shovel came? No, nor would
they have been. That shovel was pre
paring 1 ho Wly to put hundreds and
probably thousands to work in Southern
Oregon, Just as the logging camps if to
day, with their improved machinery.

Those who hare read the Eastern

gress of the canipaigu just closed must
have noticed that throughout the country
the State and local campaigns have been
fought upon entirely different issues
from the national campaign. In tba
"good old days" before the primsry law
Was passed in so many States It wss
soffideot for a candidate for State office
to boast about bis loyalty to the party
and to denounce hi political opponents
for the attempts to break down the
liberties of the people by daring to
entertain heretical views upon the
tariff question. No doubt party allegiance
ts still strong, as it shoal J be, but you
can no longer make a member of either
party believe it to be his duty to tote for
a notoriously corrupt or incompetent
man for fear of party disaster. The
voter knows that the justice ol the
peace for Mllpitas has very little to do
with framing up legislation in the
National Congress, but be has Consider
able to say about maintaining law and
order in his neighborhood, and so It la
all along the line. Tne day of the yel

'us palmiest days are past. A nomina
