REMARKS FITTING T1MK. TIIK Editor The Journal: "A prophet ii without honor, save in his own country," is exemplified by the long persecution carried on in the early WVs against John H. .Mitch ell, the most brainy man and the bent friend that ever raised his voice in bchalt of the people of Oregon. The only once now, who still carry that old howl against Mitchell, are men of very mature age, and "know anything to be so. because tliey know it." But their ranks are becoming thinned, their liaire an! gray, their howl has be come quavering and indistinct, and a few more years will hear the last faint whisper of the childish and demented minds who put in their time anathematizing and per wcntiniL the man who soars so high above them, beyond compari son. Now a younger class is being educated to point its malicious shafts of envy against our youth ful representative in congress J. N. Williamson. Williamson hai shown his perfect fitness for his position, and his very earnest wish for the good of his people, and of his country, in the masterly effort in his speech before congress for assistance to'the Lewis and Clark Centennial to be held in Portland in 1905, a better speech I never read, bearing on its own subject It is short, entirely comprehensive, and to the point. I know whereof I speak. I came to Oregon 53 years ago and know that all land lying be tween the Missouri river and the Pacific ocean was a vast stretch of grass, timber and desert plains, and the only inhabitants were thi wild untutored savages. But the march of empire heeded not thi hardships and danger, but pressed steadily onward and forward. never turning back, even when the stock was killed or died of thirst The father would improvise a cart the few indispensable household effects placed thereon, often with a small child, on top. The mother. the father and all able children, either male or female, harnessed to the vehicle, trudging, trudging. trudging through the hot, dry sand with parched lips and weary feet to their goal. Dear, dear Ore gon! where was planted a nation of heroes, and a country of vast extent and fertility, which, with its wonderful resources, will yet be acknowledged the bright occident al star in the galaxy constituting the American crown. Knowing these to be facts, w hy do you Btone your Stephen, execute your Pauls, or crucify your Christs? God forgive them, they know not what they do. Were Mitchell and Williamson known to be avaricious and dis honest men who were organizing and controlling trusts and grind ing the poor while their dividends were swelling their coffers, it would be another thing, but such is not a fact neither being rich, nor wanting to, only in great works. Htop kicking and go down to hard thinking. Balance your scales of justice, "do to others as you would t done by," and you will find that political demagogary and snarling, envious vituperation weigh hut little in your scales. I have always been a democrat anil until I found that hard money was inadequate to the wants of business in our country, and that the whole pile would not run it a week, I no longer endorsed that part. And when I found that nature hail not furnished us with open canals, and dredged our streams, Jiuilt our jetties, our pub lie institutions, equipped our arm ies and navies, etc., all to numer ous to mention, I finally bethought me to try them in my balances, and lo, these myths and fads and primitive and penurious littleness flew up in the concave, passed in to thin air, and became very small motes in the sunbeam. We are a nation of progression, not retrogression, milk and light food will do the infant, but dedi cated food for adults few words and brave acts. Just as our friends J. H. Mitchell and J. N. Williamson (the David who left his flocks and meets all enemies with daring honesty, and has bis sling and pebbles to pierce the hard skulls of envy and ignorance) are doing. Education and enlightment should change the saying "A prophet js not without honor in his own country and with his people." to "A prophet should have all honor in his own country and with bis people." THE LOCAL OPTION LAW. Elsewhere in the state are steps being taken both for and against the local option measure which will be submitted to the voters in June for either their approval or rejection. Inasmuch as the bill is to be voted upon, it should receive an intelligent vote and those cast ing their ballots either in favor of or against the law should under stand thoroughly the provisions contained in the law. The law itself, as supposed by some, is not a perpetual prohibi tive measure. Its passage does not mean that the prohibition of liquor shall become a fixed fact. It means simply that in the event of the bill becoming a law that every community, either large or small, shall have an opportunity every two years to say through the ballot whether the sale of liquor shall be allowed in that communi ty. In other words, to every pre cinct, town or county once in every two years is given the right to de cide by a majority vote whether liquor selling shall be allowed 'in Additional Locals T. M.

The prim aries are over and Williamson delegates were elected to attend the county convention. The Moody deleites were snowed under. It is the wish of a majority of the people in , this precinct that the representative lie nominated' from the southern end of the county. James MeMeen is the favorite for sheriff. James Wood for coun ty commissioner. IVlegates to the Republican county convention are: T. S. Hamilton, S. S. Black, C. S. Mc Corkle, M. A. Lehman. Deschutes, March 20. At the Republican primaries held here Saturday the Williamson dele gates were elected over the Moody men by a laree majority. A. 11. Grant, the prosjiective postmaster and an aspirant for that oilier under Mr. Williamson's incumb ency, together with our friend, Truthful James, headed the Moody aggregation, and at the opening of the primaries it was evident that they came well arrayed. The in creased activity of Mr. William son's suporters at this juncture, however, "caused the aforemention ed gentlemen to lie beaten so bad ly that they left in disgust. Pitied against Grant and Truth ful were Ovid Riley and Frank Glass, two old residents, and the result showed plainly that the newcomers of the Moody stamp were little thought of outside their own ring. The vote stood aa fol lows: Glass 19; Riley 1ft; Grant 11; Lawrence 10. Grant's outfit nominated both Steidl and Awhrcy lo divide the Williamson vote, but we had tin in withdraw and then walloped them. Mr. Grant's ac tions and fight against William son is not very likely to find favor in' the la Iter's eyes in the face of Giants wish to hold down the postinastership at Bend. Democratic primaries resulted in the election of Thomas Triplet! and W. II. Staats as delegates to the county convention. They go uninstrui ted with the exception of a uminiimous vote to support Staats for commissioner. Scnti ment in favor of renominating present Democratic officials.
