Everybody is busy and news is scarce,
but if you will allow me, I will send you
an outline of a speech by Hon. George
C. Brownell at Canby lust Saturday
evening. On the v hole, he delivered a
very telling address; in fact, he told a
little too much after a lengthy prelude,
in which he patted the pops on one
cheek and the democrats on the other,
with lumps of sugar to silver republi
cans, prohibitionists, labor unions,
churches, infidels, or anything else that
might happen to be present in fact, he
seemed to be at peace with all the world
jiist at that hour. His voice was so me
lodious that one couldn't help but won
der whether it was really George or his
astral body inhabited temporarily by the
spirit guide. And so pnrsuaBive was he
that I, even I, resolved then and theie
that if I was a Clackamas countv repub
lican I would certainly give Mr." Brown
eli my earnest support for the republi
can nomination for congress.
What did he say? Well, he said he
was in favor of dredging the Willamette
river and making it navigable from the
mouth to the stomach fOrpenn fiitvl
and from stomaeli to abdomen fSaleml

was in favor of the initiative and refer
endum, because it was right, and in fa
vor of the election of United States sena
tors by a direct vote of the people. The
laBt two propositions some of the repub
licans said they were opposed to. They
should be transported to Guam. He
then mildly supported the ship subsidy
scheme. In the name of heaven, who
subsidises the farmer, the miller, the
blacksmith, the carpenter, and so on?
But keep still until he gets the nomina
tion. He approved imperialism or ex
pansion, and quoted Daniel Webster.
Ben Franklin and others, who favored
expansion on North American soil for
the benefit of the American people, but
not for the purpose of "civilizeng" any
body. He didn't tell his hearers that
there are nine times as many people to
the square mile in the Philippine islands
as there are in the United States, who
work for 20 cents a day and whose pro
ducts will compet with our products.
He sarcastically alluded to Colonel Bob
Miller and some of our young men set
ting up their puny ideas against such
great minds as Daniel Webster. After
a tt-hila ha frxmnt that art.l kAa.
great Daniel Webster declared that the
Pacific coast would never lie worth one
dollar to the United States, which proved

ble to be mistaken hs is Colonel Miller.
Then he wound up with an eloquent
peroration on who will haul down the
fl ig. "Do you suppose," he said, "that
Mrs. John A Logan, mother of the gal
lant Major Logan, who shed his blood
on the island of Luzon, would consent
to have it hauled down?" To which we
answer, no, because she is a republican,
and, like most' all other republicans,
thinks the king (MarkKinby) can do no
wrong. But Bhe has other and better
reasons for her republicanism. The G.
O. P. voted her a pension of $200 a
month for life when she didn't need it
but a private soldier's widow, after two
or three years of washing for a living
and fighting for her pension, can get $12
a month if she will swear that she is a
pauper. If I had the space, wouldn't I
like to roaat the moral cowards who sup
port such a system against their own
wives and children! Just as though a
private soldier's widow and children
were not.just as good in the sight of God
and men of sense as any general's widow
or children 1 .Ma jor Logan was educated
