4 , -it' OREGON dtf V COURIER-HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL i, 1902. An Appeal to Populists. A bv Btematic effort U being made to "work" the populists in the interest of republican machine in the coming cam paign, it is actually ludicrous to see the deep regard and tender solicitude , for the populists, expressed by the same republicans, who, a few short years ago, could nna no words ol contempt iitiong enough for he "Coxevites" and who carried a coffin representing "Populism'' through the streets of Oregon City, after their victory in 1894 and went through a mock burial service; re peating the same performance after the November election of"189G, despite the tact tuat the 1 opulinU, after all the abuse and ridicule heaped upon them had i-p.l tjieir opponents a magnnnimoiiB exan.ple by al silutely refusing to make any public demonstration after the sweeping victory in June. But. now comliiions lmve changed. The Populist 8tate committee very unwisely, as many of us believe, disbanded the party and this yery fact will be used by the ma chine heelers to make it appear that there is an effort being made to turn the populists bodily over to the democratic organiz ition. "The democrats have swallowed you" will be thrown at populists in allopathic doses during the next fr w months This is nonsense and no thinking man should be influenced thereby. No party can swallow ut if we do not desire to do the Jonah act; No doubt the democrats would welcome such an addition to their ranks; bo would the socialists or prohi bitionists; so would so immaculate an organization as the Brownell party in this county, but it is for us, not for them frisay if we shall be "swallowed." If ttie populist party is dead even that is no excuse for its members to go over to their worst enemy. There are sev eral honorable causes of action open to us. If we think that Hrvan democracy is radical enough for ub and believe that the element represented bv Bryan, Alt geld and Tillman wi'l control the future fiolicv of the pirtv, as against, the Oleve-Hnd-Gorman wing, then the way is open for us to voluntarily ally ourselves with that- .party. If on the other hand we have no faith in the eflicacy i f the measures proposed by the Bryan element or feel sore that the party is to be Ulevelandized, w can, if we can agree to their somewhat exact ing demands, join the siHtialists; or we might reorganize t.pu populist parly or ownize 1 nig ihe lines of the new "Public Ownership Party," which headed by Lee Meriwether made such a splendid showing in ti e St. Louis niuniC' ipal elections. While something could be said in favor of each of these plans there is another slternative and it is not the one desired by the Brownell nia chine.Ii'n not necessarythat we belong to miy party? Would a thousand or so in dependent voters be a bad thing for the county. If no party suitB us we need not, out of sheer pervlsity rush to the most corrupt one of the lot. In the pro poBed independent movement e will meet with the major portion of the dem ocrats and wiih many of the best and ablest of the rank and file of the repub licans; meet them not as democrats and republicans but as independent citizens Who desire to promote the general wel fare of the county and who object to the boss rule which puts up nominations as so much merchandise on the auction block and promises places on the ticket two years in advance and occasionally even deliver the goods. Knowing that these corrupt methods have disgusted and alienated many of the republican voters, the machine is endeavoring to recoup from the ranks .of the democrats and populists. The republican county plitform with it populistic and social istic planks is a direct bid for Popu.ist support. But who is gullible enough to believe that the republican machine is sincere for insiance in the demand for n income tax? Through some over eight an endorsement of Mitchell's vole for the ship-subsidy bill was omitted. This is to be regretted for it would have made splendid reading in connection with the anti-trust plank. Another omission was tlieftilure to endorse ei ther UhriHtian Science or the Keely cure. It is to be hoped that all these little defects will be corrected by the next election and that the machine plat form can then be "expanded" to include every plank of every platform ever pro mulgated by any party. But seriously, all the buncombe should deceive no one. The republican party under the pres ent owners! ip has had charge of this county for years; wj know the result; if we like it, well and good, if not, we know how to rid ourselves of the incubus. Thereare half adozen ways to log and but one way to win; that is through an in dependent ticket, supported by all who desire a belter county government. Ant don't forget to begin at the primar ies ou Saturday, Apr. 5th. Molalla, Or. Gko.Ooi.e. For SocUilism. TomyFrllow Oitizknb: Having been se ected by the Socialist party of this county as one of its nominees for representative, it becomes my duty to discuss with you, the p lluical ques tions that so earnestly concern every citizen in the republic. I recognize the dilliculty of trying to persuade men to investigate new changes in government, and to notice the effect of hu di change upon themselves. I teali.e that in time of political excitement, man is prone to he guided by his passions instead of his reason. But, nevertheless, we should not be deterred from doing our duty, nor be disappointed should we (ail to con vince our fellowmau. It is better to have worked lor the cause ot humanity and failed, than not to have worked at all. Thereare times of deep concern. One class of men and women, struggling on iu hopeless toil, surrounded by cir cumstances that emit no ray of hapoi ness and another class of men and wom en, indulging In the delights ot life, and reaping all the benefits of human soci ety. The one class are the laboring ueu and women everywhere, the other class are the millionaire capitalists. You may arrange w rd In ways to t ruth appear in different uniforms, but arrange as you may, there are only two classes ot people on'the face of the earth. Those who raise the food (or the human race, thoee who make the clothing and those build the horaej are the essential Biemiers of the one class, and those who do nothing but lav plans to ensnare their fellowman into slavery, are the princi- lien of the other. The content! is now on. and it rests with every citizen in every land whether laboring men and women shall have their natural rights, or whether the men and women who toil not shall continue to hold tl em In bondage. This is the struggle be tween socialism and imperialism. Either the people who produce every thing, must take the government into their owu hands and govern themselves to their own advantage, or the "trusts" will take the governments and use them for their benefit. I regret that it is im possible for me to canvass our county and talk to the people directly, but be ing engaged to teach a term of school, it is my duty to serve those who have en gaged. I shall at some future ti e dis cuss the merits of our county platform and also the orinciples of proportional representation. Kespectliilly, Robert Ginther. IP Ren's Referendum Joy. Ever since the delegates to the repub lican convention begun to arrive in Port land last week Hon. W. 8. U'Ren has been giving all his time to interviewing the delegates ttnd getting friends of the initiative and referendum to talk to them and show good reasons why the conveniiou should put a plank in the platform eudorsing the constitutional amendment for di.ect legislation. The plank whs written by Hon. Geo. H. Wil liams and offered in Ihe convention by him After that Mr. U'R n and Senator Brownell devoted their entiie time and attention to the committee on platform and succeeded in getting a unanimously tavoraDte report, and the plank in the platform reads: "Weaie in favor of the proposed amendment to the state consti tution providing for the initiative and re ferendum, and recommends its adoption by the people of the state." Mr. U Ken says he has the asturance of many leading democrats that the democratic state conven tion will also endorse the amendment, and he believes it will be adof ted by the people Dy a large majority in June. He has worked a lung time for this reform, and in times past some of his enemies have said he is not sincere, but his faith ful, persistent and never ceasing work for this reform, and above all, his suc cess up to this time in getting the favor able consideration of all classes and all parties, and their public endorsement must convince even his worst enemy that he has been in earnest from the start. This endorsement bv the repub licans has put new life into all the friends of this great measure, and up to date there seems to be no open opposi tion. l it, is lost it will be clearly be- CMtiscMthe people do not want power to make the law even in important cases.

Heat and Cold Raise and Lower ttie Great Structure. The engineer of the Brooklyn bridge states that the variation in the height of the-center of that structure in summer and winter is three feet. 1 his is due to the expansion of the wirea by heat and their contraction by eold. The same law of expansion and con traction, influencing the sensitive wires of the piano, is the chief cause of that in strument getting out of tune In the construction of the Kimball piano these conditions have received the careful attentiou and judgment of ex nerts trained in Eurooe and America. The result is an instrument that wiil pre- sent the greatest resistance to the vari- ation of tension caused by changes of temperature. Consequently the piano standing in tune as perfectly as human ingenuity can devise in the Kimball The grand piauo purchased of the Kimball company by Mme. Eames in 1805 for Paris home is an illustration. The instrument made the long journey from Chicago to that city and arrived in perfect tune. Appreciating this remark able fact, Mme. tames concluded a recent letter to the tirm directing the shipment of a second piano for her castle at Vallombrosa, Italy. "It also has the i marvelous quality of keeping in tune." iimes-neraiu. County Treasurer's Notice.
