How About Your Ballot?
We nrc not n nessitnist nor the
son of n pessimist, but there is solid
food for reflection in the following
from the front page of Goodwin's
Weekly of October 24. The ques
tion that should come to every vot
er is: "Will my vote better matters
any?" Our ballots and every ac
tion of our lives should go to ele
vate, not to drag down. Vote for
the man and p.irty who stands for
enforcement of the law. If the law
is evil amend or appeal it. If we
were ever so much in favor of a
party or a party movement we could
not support it when it ylnccd a law
breaker at its head and gloried in
his deeds. The timely clipping
from Goodwin s weekly reads:
'The election is drawing near and
n irreat many people arc waiting ini
natienllv for the result. There arc
others who feel that no matter who
tnav be elected, there is not enough
in the platform of either party to
inspire great hopes, and there are
thousands and tens of thousands of
earnest men who are anxious for
the future of the count! y. Not 300
vears nuo the Spaniards dethroned
the Astec king and subdued his
country, and the Inca's possessions
were treated the same way. There
were no braver men than Cortc.
and I'izarro and their followers.
Never before was such spoil found
by conquerors: but the mass of the
people in those countries now are
far inferior to the races tlieir ances
tors destroved. There is so much
hope for our country, but. there is
much going that is disquieting. Se
lected students from all the states
recently went to West l'oint and
Annapolis to submit to examina
tions as to their fitness to receive a
military training. Mote than half
failed the conclusion cannot but be
that the schools of the country are
so defective that a revolution is
needed in them, that their whole
plan as now pursued should be
chanced.
Hut the showing makes clear
that parents are as neglectful as
thos: who have charge of the
schools. The showing carries with
it a mighty indication of national
degeuetation. Ik-cause of a tropic
nl climate and the easy gathering of
wealth, we find that the first race
of brave men who from spain peo
pled the New World have in nine
peiierntinim degenerated into a race
which but cumber the earth. When
Dins took chaige in Mexico he
promised hountU to energetic for
eigners who would come to his
country and lielp to restore it, ad
mitting frankly that the clement of
advancement had been leashed out
of his own people. Have we any
guarantee- that the cud of our re
public will Iw belter?
Theie are thiet things that can
hold up our nice. One is educa
tiou not a .skimming of a few
books, hut a thorough grounding;
11 nitlioiinl lielicf in the dignity and
uccetwitvof hone-d lalMir, ami thiid,
obedience to the laws. We have
hecii in the lust year that the gov
ernor and all the force he can sum
111011 cannot maintain k.-iicc and
give Nvuuritv to life and propel ty in
Kentucky. 1 lie news, this week,
U still more startling Irom Tciines
sv. It whs aliuiM in Imd in Illi
nois three months ago that dispo-
Mtioti to throw off all icMiuiiits of
the laws, when evil jxissions are
aroused. And the fault in every
case originated in the homes of the
men who commit the violence now.
Theie is 110 lament discipline, no
aspect for authority, but rather a
false pride that when any man
thought himself wronged or im
posed upon he iiitut seek revenge
through violence.
Then the ignorant, the vicious
and the luwk-s elements are being
iciuforccd annually by the hittid
1 edit of thommiulN of retches from
Russia and Southern Kutope, who
comeonly with the thought that five
dom means licence. There is no
thing in the coming election that
protiiUvuiiiiy improvement on these
condition. The most cheering
thing Ix-foie UK today is the order
and discipline of our fleet in foreign
vatci. They show men devoted
to duty and the discipline needed
to insure order.
Our Charges.
As is customary, we will charge
for caul of thanks, 50c; for resolu
tions of respect, J5i.oo; for notices
of church or lodge entertainments,
.suppers, sociables, etc., where there
are charges for admission, ,sc per
line, but where there are no charges
for these events, we will bieak the
rule and insert them free. We
make this announcement so that
our good friends may understand
our rule in this respect.
Parody on Oregon
Sung at the Rose Carnival Meet
inc at Pcnnisular Thursday Even
ing of last Week:
There's n State in the West,
That we nil find the best,
Tis good old Oregon.
Witli the roses and ferns,
Where the sun never burns,
In good old Oregon.
When your days work is over,
You sleep in the clover,
And life is one beautiful dream
No trouble annoying,
The stars we're enjoying,
In good old Oregon.
Chorus:
In that good old Oregon,
In that good old Oregon,
While strolling thro' the stately
firs,
Mt. Hood and Helens in view,
We're glad we're here throughout
the year,
And wish we could share it with
you:
So come by rail,
Or take the trail,
To good old Oregon.
There's a beach where we go,
With the sand white as snow,
In good old Oregon,
With the ships sailing by,
And the waves rolling high,
In good old Oregon.
There is Dnddy cooking bacou;
Oli. 1 ln coffee he is intikln'.
With Mother on the bank by
his side;
And the kids in the water,
Hoth the son and the daughter,
In good old Oiegon.
There is fruit by the ton,
I-'or all who will come,
To good old Oregon.
There are pears and big cherries
And all kinds of berries,
In good old Oregon.
You never tan beat,
The Oregon wheat,
The fish and the game galore;
The pure mountain streams,
And the gold of our dreams,
In good old Oregon.
There's a city our pride,
On the Willamette so wide,
In good old Oregon.
Where business is booming,
And the skyscrapers looming,
In good old Oregon.
The ships at the docks,
Munv handsome new blocks,
Make Portland the greatest and
best.
The autos are spinning,
And Portland's fast winning ,
The fame of the great North
west.
Come buy you a home,
Never more to roam,
In good old Oregon;
Where the folks ne'er grow old,
Hut have weddings of gold,
In good old Oregon.
The winters are wet,
llut.healthy you bet,
With .seldom a cough or a
cold.
So come by rail,
Or take the trail,
To good old Oregon.
A. C. McDonald, Peninsula
Protracted Meetings.
We did not have the opportunity
to mention the late revival meetings
in last week's issue necause omer
thiiiL's crowded our columns. The
series of meet i litis held in the skat
iiil' rink bv I). K. Olson and his
sinners was a vers- successful one.
There were 64 added to the church
:iml mi increased interest created in
the stndv of the llible all over the
city; with some because of n desire
lo learn the truth, with others to
iustifv their own positions in life;
and tor whatever cause, mere can
but iiood conic of its study and it
lias been good for St. Johns, then,
that the meetings were Held.
The Christian church, tor which
the meetiiiL'S were held has taken
on new life and feels greatly encour
aged. They entertain a very lugli
regard for Mr.Olsou and his helpers.
The nnlv reeretable feature of the
entire proccediims is that the work-
ers went awav uiireuuiueu lor weir
" ,.. . ... ... .
toil except for the consciousness of
lnivim? worked hard for the Master
and received souls, alone, for their
hire. The church was unable to
make any stipulated payment for
their services and the result was
that iust about eiiouuh money was
raised to defray the expenses of the
meeting, leaving nothing in the
hane of salarv for the workers.
There are few evancelists who
would do as these have done here
and they are to he commended in
the hitihest terms for it. While Mr.
Olson did the preaching, all three
are preachers and have done splen
did work wherever they have been.

What Arc You Going to Do
With Your Vote?
On the 3d day of November, 1908
fottrtcctt millions of people in these
United States will walk up to the
polls nnd cast tlieir ballots and 90
per cent at least of these fourteen
millions of people throw their votes
away. They will go home with a
clear conscience and an idea that
they have exercised their inalien
able right to express their convic
tions and desires as to conducting of
public affairs, that they are good,
patriotic citizens and have done
their duty as good citizens should
in supporting the party and candi
dates of their choice.
Hut have they? Has the com
mon ordinary citizen, the one who
leaves home with a full (or rather
partly full) dinner pail in his hand
six times a week, works his eight,
to or is hours a day nnd conies
home with that bucket empty, has
nun man una ineieusi tiling iu ouy
in the selection of cither candidate
or of the platforms of either of the
old parties?
He has had 110 more to say rc
irnrdiiii! the selection of either Tn
ft
or Hryau or in building the plat
forms which these two highly reS'
pcctablc and eminently desirables
are standing upon than he would
have had, had lie been a citizen 01
and living upon the planet Mars
N'nt one delegate iii either the Re
publican convention which met at
Chicago or the Democratic conven
tion that met nt Denver was n wage
worker. While you were busy
fcc'dini? vour life into a machine,
while you were piling lumber or
driving rivets, digging tu we sou
or pounding on an anvil, there was
assembling at Denver and ossein
bling at Chicago a couple of aggre
cut ions of hiir business men. hiW'
yers and politicians, whose sole
purpose it was to secure representa
tives who would allow them to con
tinue in the future as they had in
tlie past, to live off the labor of the
sweating, toiling, slaving millions.
And they have selected as presi
dential ami vice presidential candi
dates for both the republican and
democratic parties, men whom they
not you desire, and then they
L'ive von the chance to determine
whether republic in or democratic
looters get nway with the spoils.
You nrc the spoils of war. The
nroduct of vour labor is what they
are after and no matter who wins
in this game of loaded politics you
lose.
I.et us examine both the candi
dates and see what they represent
mid what is behind them. Let us
see if their pretentions of friendship
for lauor ring true, ny weir iruiis
you should know them.
Tuft is well known as the father
of the injunction, that sacred instru
ment of despotism, and he should
lie proud of resurrecting that same
instrument ;the illegitimate offspring
of ancient Home.
In ancient Koine before the
Christiun era the consuls appointed
the judges. These judges 011 as
suming ofl'ice issued and published
what wete called edicts. These
edicts were written upon a tablet
and posted on the outside of the
courts and became laws, In time it
became the custom to the incoming
judges to keep in force the edicts of
their predecessors and to ami 10
and thus these laws became perpet
ual under the name of perpetual
edicts. This was the beginning of
judge made laws.
Taft as a indue in the United
States brought into civilization this
same judge made law and engrafted
into American civilization this relic
of Roman barbarism.
He simply used an edict, called
an injunction, which was merely to
say, this you may do and that you
inav do and this you may not do
and that you may not do. This in
junction mind you is not to enjoin
you against ureauiug we law, you
lire nlwnvs eiiioined atraiust that
and a penalty is prescribed for any
intractiott ot tue law ot uie laiui
but it enioius voti form doing what
according to law you have a per
fect right to do. And the penalty
for violating that injunction is im
prisonment tor as long as the judge
'isiies to imprison you aim mat
ithottt a lury trial for couteinpt of
court. Now mind you, no man
has yet been imprisoned for over a
vear on this charce. but for the rea
son that they are afraid to show
their hands and exasperate tue peo-
e at this time.
Tuft is a federalist. That is.
Taft lias no confidence iu the abili
ty of the people to govern them
selves. He lelieves that the weal
thy are wealthy because they are
more intelligent than what he con
siders the common herd. He be
lieves that the wealthy should rule
y substituting judge made laws ot
idires nnnointed bv the wealthy
for laws passed by the legislatures
elected by the people. Consequent-
he brings torward we injunction
hich is the substitution of unto-
cratic for popular government.
This is Taft. This is the man
who says he is a friend to lnbor
lliiu ! (lip fllflll flint sent Phelan to
prison because he, Phelan, did his
duty and stood true to 111s icnuw
union men, this the man that lied
nlmiit Pludnti was dead.
T.nt tm cxnminc Brvan. There is
an old saying that a man is known
by the company lie keeps. 11
man could be sentenced to prison
for keeping bad company Uryan
should he doing a life sentence.
Hryan is a candidate of the dem
ocratic party, that party in the
words of Hen Hauford "without a
single decent attribute save a name
linrrmvpil from the urnves of its
WV-WT - - U
illustrious dead."
That party is the party of 1 1 inky
Dink and Hath House Johnie in
Chicago, of Tammany hall in New
York by as crooked a set of rascals
as ever were allowed to run at large
outside the walls of a penitentiary.
In the South, that solid demo
cratic south which is behind Hryau
there exists the most horrifying con
ditions of labor that exist anywhere
in the entire civilized world.
Child labor iu all its nakedness
exists in that south, fostered and
perpetuated by that sauiederr.oerat
ic misrule. lit that south a system
of noonnue exists which would
put to blush the peonage system of
Mexico. in that souiii couvici
camps flourish under domestic su
pervision and in those camps cruel
ties ore practiced unheard of even
in the wilds of Siberia. Iu Rus
sia men are transported to Siberia
for political offenses and when once
there are allowed what is practical
ly freedom, their wives and fami
lies are taken with tlieiu and they
are free to do everything hut gov
ern themselves and leave the prov
ince. Hut here in this democral'c
south, men, women and children,
guilty of no crime but of being
poor are put up at auction by dem
ocratic officials and sold for six
months, 0 year, five and 10 years,
and sold to the highest bidders.
The poor and propertyless are dis
franchised and denied 0 voice in the
government; and yet this man Hry
au, this man who would pose as a
friend of labor has never been heard
to voice a word of protest.
The soil of the Dakotas is being
plowed by the sous of the southland
the virgin forests of Oregon and
Washington are being converted
into lumber by these sturdy hands,
while from the south, the south
where the balmy breezes blow, a
country blessed by nuture and
cursed by man there comes a wail
for those same laborers to develope
the great natural resources of the
south, but those laborers who have
been outraged by democratic mis
rule preler to wander far from home
and kindred, strangers in a strange
land, prefer the hospitality of the
of the Dakota blizzards- to the ten
der mercies of democratic slave
drivers.
Hryau made a statement that he
would not "see labor crucified on a
cross of gold" but the sight of hu
man beings being auctioned off on a
block of wood by democratic poli
cians has as yet struck no respon
sive chord iu the sympathetic
breast of the "wind bag from the
Platte."
Can any man believe, who stops
to consider the proposition serious
ly for a moment, that Tuft, the
corporation lawyer, the corporation
judge, that three hundred-pound
monument of guts and coirnptiou
will ever do anything in the inter
est of labor?
Can any one believe that Hryau,
whose eyes are blind to the misery
of the poor helpless babes toiling iu
the southern slave pens, whose de
sire to be president will allow him
join hands with Hath house Johnnie
Hltiky Dink, Roger Sullivan and
the braves of Tammany hall, can
any one believe that a man who
can dim his eyes to human misery
and join hands with the most cor
rupt gang of machine politicious in
the civilized world would ever do
anything for labor?
No I,abor has no friends, La
bor must be its own friend. Hut
labor has done this. Labor has
organized a party of its owti. It
has built up a party of dues paying
members. Its members are men
with horns oti their hands. These
men a year ago, 40,000 of them,
assessed themselves 35 cents each.
They sent from Oregon five dele
gates. They sent their delegates
from every state iu the union to
their convention in Chicago. They
nominated for president one of tlieir
own kind, a locomotive fireuiau who
had beeti imprisoned by a republi
can judge at the behest of a demo
cratic president and of demo-repub-
lican corporations, because he was
true to the cause of the mati in over
alls. The nickels and dimes of the
men who work in the mills, mines
and factories sent this man, Fugetie
V. Debs, with his message to the
workers from ocean to ocean. Will
you heed the message aud vote for
yourselves, your wives out) your
children or will you choose between

The difference between noor
stock end first class stock on a job
is a small item when you consider
the value of the job. It is the
price of n satisfied customer. Tr U

job and have a customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra 50 cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.
