As it never rains but it pours, so the
number of reformers we met increased
as we approached the common center,.
Oregon City.
We met none other than the noblest
Roman of them all, G. R. H. Miller,
with whom few can compare in the work
of genuine reform. Brother Miller ex
pressed the hone that the Indenprwlonf
. would lift in Hon1 a. n-ull ., . ;
.. ,.u ,, lu J
I dependent would turn neit or loth
I right nor to tli loft, but l e srr-.ir.rht
ahead. A ureal work is ahead of us r -
quiring great lib ir and grea niVt.
The reform forces need nni:v of actio-K
courage, ardfleiveness aid a poilor
Kttnization to push the vok. It will not
do to turn back or falter now when vV
toiy is in sight.. We have inoculated
both the old parties with reform ideas.
Let it work. Meanwhile let us hammer
the truths home that we have preached
for 25 years.
It was our good fortune and pleasure
to meet three of the most prominent
men in the people's party, including its
honored chairman, Henry E. ThieBsen,
who insisted first on our remaining for
supper, as he expressed it, "so we caa
have a good talk on the political situa
tion generally." Mr. Thi sen, when
asked for his opinion, said that his let
ter to the Independent covered about alt
he had to 'ay on the cubject. "Therer
are men in Clackamas county who have
worked early and late, spent time,
money and labor for the people's cause
and who hav scarcely been consulted in
material matters." He thought the
common ser se method to pursue in fu
ture is to get the verv bet material
available from all parts of the county.
The enrf-e of Clackamas county poliiics,
he thought, was the taking up of poli;i
cal adventurers coming in on their up
pers without a thing to commend them
but their gall and assurance. After con
troling and wrecking party and press,
this, he hoped, had 1 een their day, like
other dogs. "You may say for me,"
said the chairman, "that 1 am a popu
list cow, as I have been in the past, and
will do all in my power for the part. 'a
success, to make it the party of county,
state and nation. Its mission h is I uj
begun, and to falter now, hesitale or
look back would be treason. We can't
do it. Excelsior is our motto, and our
cause is just, because it is the people's.
Duty and tru h demand our labor and
devotion to the cause we have sustained
in the past, and I will continue in them
until they are the law of the land."
From Mr. Thiessen's it was but a
short walk to the Oatfleld farm, where
we found the modern Priam surrounded
by his sturdy young sons. Mr. OatSeld
has a large and fertile tract, which re
quires his constant care and attention
with the assistance of a large and indus
trious family. "Those who suppose for
a moment that there is a profit in farm
ing," said Mr. Oitfield, "are wholly
mistaken. Could we sell our produce for
anything like a fairly remunerative
price, we would be satisfied, but to be
compelled to see the necessaries of life
rot ou the grounl for want of a market
to sell in, and know that theie are mil
lions of people in need of focd and una
ble to purchase is a spectacle not encour
aging in a land where we are supposed
to have the best government on the
globe. Do we like the Indnendent? Of
course we do, but don't, for humanity's
sake, don't Fitch it!" We promised
not to, and struck for Clackamas, a few
miles distant, where an agreeable sur
prise awaited us, of which we shall say
more in our next.
