TIME FOR A CHANGE
The frtate of Oregon in tin- ,a.-t few yeain haa been more
fitrtiuiatiMii itH representation in the Heiiate than in tl e
House. Whether or not we agree with Johnathan liwtiri.e
or (ji'orgi Chamberlain politically we must admit ll
I hey have nccotnpln-liod fomething, have achieved a repu
tation beyond (he Htnte line an.l in the eonncil- ol iheir
jtolitical MbocialeH have coiiniilerahle inlluence. Noloult
v can eay'tli name for Uol.ert A. Moot I if he in elected to
the Senate.
Hut what of the Oregon delegation in th 1 Inline' Ex
eepting Mr. 'iniiott yon or we can say but little. Ul
courwe, the voterH of Polk county have no voiee in 0, e
lection of two of tin congressmen, hut our own representative
we help to elect. IWit neither I'olk county nor the oilier
counties of thin district have been choosing wisely or well.
The great Willamette valley deserves and should have a
m ireable, more influential and m ire aggres-ii.e representa
tive in Congress than Mr. Ilawley and a the opportunity
ban now been given us to make a chance for the belter, we
should accept it and profit thereby. Mr. Hawley has !een
in Congress long enough, ho it cannot he said that he is an
amateur or "green" at thw work. We have not heard jf or
liavo lead of a plausible reason why he should again be
elected. 1 nen it might he well to remark for the benefit
of republicans who look to the advantage of electing a
congressman of their own faith that the Monitor doubt
very much if Mr. llawley could be re-electe.l if nominated
again.
Opposing Mr Hawley fr the republican nomination is
Hen F. Jones of Kuseburg. Mr. Jones as a member of the
Oregon legislatmo made a record, lb; was at once recog
nized as a leader and led. . He was able, aggressive anil in
iluetitial. lie spent no time in theorizing but wa led in
and produced results. 1 l. ,;ept close to tlie people. He
trusted them. This is not only evident from his record
well known to every person familiar with the j olitical his
tory of Oregon but also from the fact that he was a "Num
ber One Statement" man from the time that this idea of
popular government was adopted and ndoised by the peo
ple of Oregon. The election o U. S mators by the peo
ple is now constitutional law of thw land, ti i inch needed
reform secured by the efforts of progressive leaders of all
parties ai d by them alone. Hen Jones is a progressive
republican and such lie always will be in victory or defeat.
So for the reasons as above set forth, the Monitor be-
lieve that the interests of thegreater number would be best
nerved by the nomination of Mr. Jones in the place of Mr.
llawley.
War A'ith Mexico entirely depends upon the whim of
the dictator, llnerta. Jf lie can be persuaded to resign or
quit, and retire to oblivion forever, then and not until
then, will there be peace ami it substantial form of govern
ment established in Mexico. Whether or not, thousands
of his fellow countrymen and scores of American boys will
lose their lives and millions of dollars worth of property
be destroyed depends upon this villain. While we do not
look with much favor upon capital punishment, yet if Un
united Statis is forced to drive Jliiertu out of Mexico at
the mcrifice of life and properly, we will regret that the
code of citilied nations forbids the proper punishment of
the fiend. We can only hope that hell will be as hot for
linn as the most pessimistic he 1 theoiist describes it to be.
