Coroner Rainier HOW DO THE COCSTRY FEOFLE LIKE IT ? There are three incorporated cities rolnmhia Countv. an-1 they contain rtenrlv all the saloons in the county These cities have, a population of not over 3,500 people, while the rest of the connty ha sbnnt 7.000 people. The re venue from these saloons goes to the cities and is used ly them for street imnrm-emnt. salaries, etc. This, it IS said (though ineorreclly) vs the pav. merit of considerable tax. and, thereore smiewill vote against prohibition. But. if a crime is commited"'as the result of the use of intoxicating liquors, the co't comesTont of the taxpayers of the entire conr.tr. Possibly sots of the f.traiers will think of this when they (ro to the polls on the second day of Nov ember. 'At'leait wont appeal to them very ftroncly ss sn'arjrnment in favor of the saloon bnsineei. Nor should it ap peal to anyone If youjbelieve the sa loons help make good cititeris; if yon believe they are an influence for good in the community, and you want your children to frequent them just as soon as the law permits, then vote to retain them. But if youbelievethevaieinjcrious in all their tendencies, areoo going to I bribed by the license money into voting for them?

RAINIER A number of the officials of the A. C. and North Hank Roads were In the city the past week in an attempt to set the the controversy in regard to mac dsmiiing Water street. As no sstis faetorv arrangements could be made, the railroad company eentdown fifty u-nrkmen who took UD all of the side track on the north side of the main track and workmen are now taking op pert of tha sidetrack on the south side of the main track, leaving only enough sidetrack to place a few car at the depot. The company expects by this move to avoid the expense of macadamising its nortion of Water street. The oontiao- tors have completed the sewers in dis tricts number one, two and three, sna number four will be let st once.

Mr. Nasen, who purchased the Brackett grocery store, took possession last week. Mr. Brackett is out of the cite looking for a new location. 1ASKTOJ. Judse H. L. Benson is one of the men who have no faith in the ability of the people to nominate candidates for office, and, unlike those who are proceeding by in direction to overthow the law, he has'the manhood to confess his hostility. Interviewed by an Oreeonian reporter at the Im perial Hotel, Judge Benson said: "I am openly and shamelessly opposed to the entire primary system." With the exception of the word "openly," this expresses the mental attitude of all the old gang of politicians who make their headquarters at the Im perial Hotel including- Senator Fulton, Jack Matthews, Seneca Beach, and all the rest of the old boys who have made politics their occupation for many years. They are convinced that the new me thod is destructive of party or ionization- and so it is, if by partv organization is meant the absolute control of the boss. The very men who are pro testing; against the direct primary law are the one3 responsible for its enactment. The Republican party was torn by factions. Yet the people had nothing to say. Thieves might fall out, but honest men did not get their dues. It was merely a question as to which faction should control, and the methods adopted were a dis grace to the State. Public offices were put upon the auction block and the highest bidder got the goods. Instead of candidates for public office presenting their claims to the people the dominant faction made the ticket and the voters Were compelled to accept: it. One boss suceeded the other; 1 but neither faction ever inter-! r , ,i ... - icreu wun me perquisites ol ; '!. office or attempted any genuine come ot the office holders by compelling them to pay tribute to the boss. The common knowledge of these facts caused the political revolution of which the direct primary law is the most impor tant result. It is new and crude, and doubtless needs amending; kit Judge Benson is mistaken -- k. millee when he says the people favor a! return to the old convention! ATTORNEY-AT-LAW system.
