Mr. Henry , will have to make a
better Knowing In the Hull case
against Senator Fulton than has so
far developed, to make good to the
public his frequent insinuations that
have been made from time' to time,
The principal charge so far made" -Is
that Fulton lined his Influence to have
certain men brought before the courts
In a civil action Instead of criminal
The low plainly slates that either
coo rue may be taken. As yet It has
not been proven that Fulton Interest
ed himself either way, but If he did
he was clearly within the law. It la
quite evident that had Senator Fulton
side-stepped In the least,) whereby he
could possibly have been Indicted, Mr.
lleney would have seen that his
name was Included along with scores
oi otner defendants which now appear
on the court records of this state. Mr
Heney wus willing, but he wan simply
short on tho necessury facts to secure
uch an Indictment.
The voters of Oregon will be called
upon to vote upon a nuiribcr of mat
tors which If they approve of will bo
Come laws and which, if they reject,"
will not become laws. This Is a re
sponsibility that should not bo con
sldered lightly, before being voted
upon. It requires times for the
masses of the voters to measure up
to new responsibilities, especially
when for ages It was the custom for
others to do their law-making for
thorn. Until our constitution was
changed only a few years ago how
many of the 90.000 or 100,000 voters
of this state ever thought of Individ
tially asking for this or that law. The
custom was for years to elect repre
sentatlves to do this work, and It is
no easy matter to readjuxt ourselves
to the new conditions. Every new
law that l to receive your suffrage
next June should be carefully read
and considered before It receives
your support. We have an overstock
of laws on hand now and If you are
not sufficiently Interested In the pas
sage of a proposed bill to investigate
Its merits or demerits, It will be a safe
rule jh vote against it. Many good
laws will be killed by so doing, but
there will be 'few bad ones creep In,
and, this, will have the further tenden
cy to prevent the Introduction of only
those mi.lsures that ' will stand the
public tdel.
The Eastern Oregon Fish and Game
association will meet in this city next
Monday evening, at the Commercial
club.
Local nlmrods have been greatly
benefited In the pant by this asaot'lH

natural supply of mountain trout
would have been exhausted, they will
be able to continue the delightful pas-
Mitia by ra,n of wnnt th SasnHn
tion has done In the way of restocking
the streams.
At the meeting Monday night offi
cers will be elected and preliminary
steps taken toward redisricting the
surorundlng country Into divisions,
and plans leaning toward additional
fry In every suitable stream will be
advanced and carried out the coming
year as they have In the pant.
