SHALL THE Vl'.OVLK KI LE I
So much has been said In Oregon
about the people ruling, and that too,
by some men, sucii as Thomas Siccus
ker, who, when he was trusted by the
people, failed to make good that the
time has arrived when the question
must be asked In all candor and seri
ousness: Shall the people rule?
All three national conventions have
been held. The so-ralld republican
national convention resulted In com
mission of crime against the constitu
tions, against the Pilgrim fathers,
agnnst the colonial ancestors, agaln.st
the flag and asalnst the principles of;
the "land of the brave and the horn
of the free." It proved to be a holdup
with national committeemen as mask
wearers and weapon handlers. It bo
thoroughly smacked of special privi
lege and rottenness of great wealth
that hundreds of thousands of repub
licans were shocked and refused to
follow longer the national end of the
party they loved, the pa.tj they had
supported since childhood and the
party that had always been their
pride.
The democratic convention was held
j heretofore has not existed. Included
in the platform are the cardinal priii
j clples which Oregon democrats have
! ridden Into office upon; the principles
that they have claimed were so dears
to their hearts. I'nderstand, these
prlnclpl 's aie now planks of a nation
al platform, which means if then
Oregon democrats are sincere ami
Lave been slncer- In the past abor
the people rullnir. they can stand on
the "Uu)l .Moose" platform and be enn
t!xtrnt. If thpy fail to so stand then this
only na'ural conclusion will be tint
they in the past have not been s 1 11
! cere, but have been mer-ly out to t
the people and obtain office.
At pre.nt It is a grent natlorn!
fight of whether or not the people
Bball rule. There Is no harrier In the
way of any man to aid In this cont3:
between th so-ncllcd republican
national ticket owned, operated
and dictated to by a cor
rupt national committee compo7ed
of wealthy bosses on the one hand,
the vacillating democratic pai'y on
the other, both of which are 'ted
against the "Bull Moose" national ef
fort to extricate the government from
the hands of a few men who hjve
grown immensely rich becausfc of fa
vors and who now seek to whi:i the
rank and file of the people into 1'im.

The automatic newsboy has at last
arrived in New York, the latest of a
long line of penny in the slot machines
and as a result while it has been at
tracting much attention here it has
also brought terror to the hearts of
Father Knickerbocker's 15,000 human
"Newsies' who get their livelihood by
the sale of daily papers. Automatic
machines of various kinds from those
which tell one's weight to those which
sell accident and life insurance are
of course nothing new, but this latest
development In this field may yet ef
fect a youthful revolution. Apparent
ly the new machine Is capable of per
forming every function of the human
newsboy except that of yelling "wux
try,' and its failure to do this will
doubtless be looked upon as a bles
sing. However, If this be regarded
as a deficiency It is said that a phono
graphic attachment can easily supply
m much racket as the most leather-1-nged
youngster. The machine Is
divided into several compartments
holding sixty papers each and the on
ly operation necessary to the securing
o' any paper is the dropping of the
-le Into t'-p s,0t under the name of
r' t desired publication. Thus the
i' Iddleman. or In this case, the mid
i":e boy. is eliminated. From this aris
es the fear of the youngsters who re
r'lze that any general adoption of the
r'achlne will deprive them of a means
c' livelihood.
This sale is for Saturday only. These
suits must be sold quickly to make room
for fall goods which are expected daily.

Before another year passes why not
secure a block of ground in the city
which can be fixed up for a 'play
ground for the young boys and girls.
It would be much nicer to know your
children were at the playground amus
ing themselves with the various things
that could be placed therein than ta
not know where they are, nhen ten
chances to one they are running
around town, which is no place for
children.
Almost any time of day If you aro
going towards the depot on Depot
street and more especially at night,
you will find a gang of loafers discus
sing subjects in language which is not
tit for a man, let alone a lady who lv.ay
be with you, to hear. And in some in
stances, ladies have almost had to get
out into the streat to pass by. If you
don't believe this take a walk down
that way any evening aud you will l.e 1
