mooth-tongued orators, enemies of

cy; the latter Is not. Furthermore,
Richardson did not sign the statement.
' HI verbal assertion that he would
abide by the preempts of the now no
torlous "statement," sufficed to have
tilme vote for Chamberlain, much as
It no doubt went against his grain.
He Is the representative of Union
county, and It was his firm belief that
the majority of the people he repre
sented wanted him to vote as he did.
Had he been possessed with tty rnndli'
belief that a majority of his peoplf
wanted any other man than Chamber
lain, It Is safe to say he would have
voted otherwise than he did.
THE OKEGOMAN'S STAND.
Ttfe Oregonlan discloses Its "mean
disposition" and future polttcal poli
cies, -!n the following, n portion of the
editorial wherein was thrown up the
sponge In the fight against Chamber
t lain:
"It may be that men will not be
eager to 'take the pledge' In future us
they have been heretofore. TJila will
be the only hope of preventing per
manent republican division In th"
State. Of course, the Oregonlun, hav
ing no need of party, cin go It alone:
but this may be taken fur certain. t'i;:
it will imt net with the republic:!-'
party In future, unless this parly .
reject or repudiate the method tlta
produces such results an this. In nt"
words. (twill support Ule oppisltloi,
to all 'statement' men of the republl
can party who may he candidates for
nomination or for election. If e m
to elect democrats to our highest of
fices, let us do It In the open and di
rect manner: not by indirection or
Jugitle. The main effort of the earn
ft and disinterested republicans of the
Male will not hereafter be directed
against the democratic party, but
ngelnst the Hourne-C'Rcn faction

Future of Commerce," jihe federal
government unitietJonably entered In
to a contract with the several states
for the improvement of their water
way when It divested them of Juris
diction over the subjeof and took Jur
isdiction to Itself. That statement be
ing lacontestlble, It Is equally Inconte.
tlble that In undertaking the too long
neglected duty of waterway Improve
ment, the government cannot look to
any special stream nor to any sperlil
project, but must begin and curry to
completion, the work of waterway Im
provement under a bruud and compre
hensive policy under which no water

to Improve. The February number of

articles: "Hamard. the First Detective

I'lnln, "How to Keep a Ife nt

Earth," "Htrnnge Ways of Reading the
Future."
Munsoy's lending article Is "The New
Florldu," which Is In truth more devot
ed to Henry M. Flnelcr, the Florida
-allroad builder, than to the state it
self. The article, however, would have
'teen nice to read about 10 days ago.
Prof. T. J. J. See has contributed n
very Interesting discussion of "Tidal
Waves," which follow great earth
'luakes. x
Of Interest to college boys Is Harry
Thurston Peck's story of the origin
and development of hazing. There are
the usual short stories and two thrill
ing serials.
We have ndded "Outlook" to our
list of magraalncs. The current number
contnins an article on "Postal Saving

much attention from congress. The
author, Mr. John Ha'rsen Rhoades, Is
a trustee of one of the leading savings
