CANDIDATES FOR OPEiCE
given by th treasurer at $8,488,799.18
and th disbursements for the earns
period was $4,917,000. Estimating th
present population of Orejion at 120,000
th per capita cost of running th stat
for th year ending with Sept.. 1904 was
$40.97. If the proposed candidate has a
plan for running th stat cheaper let

Men are being mentioned a suitable
parsons to be voted for at the general
election, next June to fill the varioue
office in Oregon from governor of the
stat to county boards. It would be well
if th people, who under the Initiative
and Referendum will have to select the
candidates, to make a thorough search
and be sure that all the men they propose
for election are now clean men, and have
the stamina to remain so if sleeted. :
Th responsibility of presenting bad or
incapable men can not now be thrown
upon, conventions, cliques, or bosses, but
must rest upon the voters at the pri
maries. The voters can not say th
bosses are to blame, for whatever blame
attache from unsatisfactory candidates
being placed upon th tickets is the result
of th vote cast by the voters at the
primaries.
With this increased responsibility of the
voter comes an additional demand upon
each voter to make individual investigation
into the character of the man he recom
mends for office by voting at the primary
to have hie nam placed upon th ticket
to be voted In June.
It would be a good rule for voter to

what his favorite will do if elected, and

feeling toward us the Chines claim that

th United State impolitely, but with
harshness, and often with great brutality.
As evidence of our great barbarism they

of China receive from our custom house

and after unnecessarily delayed in getting
permission to land those who get this
permit under existing treaties which
guarantee to them fair treatment while
in the United States the same as that is

virtually at the mercy of irresponsible
mobs for their lives and property while
the government looks on with indifference.
