A ROARING FARCE
That the Oregoniarr and its
(.orrespondents are lying about
the attendance at the Republican
Assembly primaries there is no
Joubt whatever, and we suppose
they are deceiving; a great many,
so far as Columbia County is
concerned the attendance at the
Assembly primaries was pitifully
mall. At the county seat there
were just ten participating in
he election of three delegates.
At Houlton no one turned out, at
Warren there were three, at
-eappoose there were five. And
!."s is the way it was throughout
'"0 entire county. Twenty-five
'-iutes had less than seventy
v 1 votes in a county that polled
.Mi votes for President Taft the
. ; unjest Republican County in
Mvircn in proportion to its pop-
''tioi. And this is what they
: a ve the gall to call representative
bc ably. A greater farce was
"vci presented before an in
.H'ynt people. It represented
thing except the re-actionists
ho aiisire to return to the old
iinv:!? rigging, wire-pulling
n .-ntion system which crsated
Iiar:berlain a3 a political factor
A made his election to the
'nited States Senate possible,
i.e Republican County Com
ittee did not dare to call a
ounty convention, but its leaders
..illed primaries for the election
:' J legates to the State As
, -lr.My, and Columbia County
ill have 25 vote in that body
ven if only one delegate attends,
iow do the farmers and working
:en like it, and what will be
hu'r answer at the primaries in
unf and at the general election
i govern oer: ine Mist nas no
oubt of the result. No candidate
r the Legislature can be elected
a Columbia County who docs not
'.ascribe to Statement No 1.
'.'li?x is the great and overshadow-.-'i..ue.
The Oregonian, from
ts stand-point, is perfectly right
:.i de claring that it will knife any
en who takes the pledge to a
'! .? by the people's choice for
'.':.itH States Senator. Its chal
et; should and will be accepted.
Tk.'i isue is as important a3 any
c ser.ted since the civil war, and
There will be four Chatauqua
assemblies in Oregon during the
present month at Gladstone
Park, near Oregon City, as for
many years past; at Ashland
also as for many years and one
each at La Grande and Albany
for the first time this year. These
meetings will be in progress at
one place or another until July
24, at which date the Willamette
Valley Association will close the
year's full programme of lectures
music, study games and idea!
outing privileges under the Chau
tauquan banner.
As an educational deuce and
opportunity for study the Chau
tauqua plan appeals favorably
to students; as an outing it ap
peals to parents of young chil
dren, while its social features-
safe and sane meet the appro
bation of thoughtful, observant
people who realize the difficulty
of providing safe and pleasant
social intercorse between young
people outside of the restraining
influences of home. For these
and other reasons that present
themselves it may be assumed
that the four Oregon Chautau
quas scheduled for the present
month will be well attended. The
spirit of the organization is right
Its entertainments are whole
some and enjoyable, its manage
ment is above reproach, and the
expense of attending it with the
entire family is relatively small
to those in its immediate vicinity
SAYS THE GOVERNOR
NORTH CAROLINA
OF
'I heard the prohibitory law
was being broken in one of our
counties. I ordered the mayor of
the town to attend to the matter
or he would have to break rock
on the public road, and a better
man would be made mayor.
Very soon two offenders were
brought before the Judge, who
put them to work on the roads
for two years. One was worth
$15,000. He asked, Would you
take $5,000 fine and let me off?'
The Judge said. 'I will not.'
The Supreme Court confirmed
the order. They appealed to the
Governor. I said, 'you have de
stroyed the homes and hearts
and hopes of the men and
women of your town; you have
been warned. You will wear the
stripes, and break rock on the
public roads for two years.'
They are still at it. On May 26th,
1907, North Carolina declared for
State-wide prohibition by 45,532
majority. If the people of my
State vote on the question to
morrow they would cut out the
saloon by 150,000 majority, for
they have tasted all the sweets
of temperance and will never go
back to the idols of drunkenness
and sin." Ex-Governor Glenn,
of North Carolina.
In response to the question,
"Do hogs pay?" a Kansas editor
replies: "A good many do not.
They take the paper several
years and then have the post
master send it back marked 'Re
fused' or 'Moved to Oregon."

The Pacific City Outlook calls
attention to the fact that harbor
improvements reduce freight
rates. They do, but the taxes
some of the speculative land
holders have to dig up for harbor
improvements is what is worry
ing them. Most of these specu
lative lands are held by absentee
owners who do not import any
freight. However, the higher the
speculative lands are taxed and
the more money expanded in im
proving roads and harbors, the
more valuable the lands become,
