Caleb Powers in defending him
self in the case of the Common
wealth against him for the murder
ot William Coebel, again illustrated
the old saw "That a lawyer who
appears in his own case has a fool
tor a client,"
IT is time for the Democrats of
Clackamas county to be casting
bout for some good material for
their county ticket next year.
Next year of all years the Demo
crats of this county tan win if they
ct with discresion and good sense
nd select a ticket in which every
one has confidence. Let us all get
together on an honest platform and
sweep clean the Republican sham
bles. Clackamas county is not a
Republican county and if all of the
opposition gets together we can do
a few things which will surprise a
few wise ones and leave a few
grafters out in the "cold, cold
world;"
THE time is ripe and the op
portunity is at hand for the Demo
crats of Clackamas county to De up
nd about their business. Let them
buckle on the armor of faith and
get ready. The Republican party
is always ready. They never
leave any crumbs laying around
loose. They know a good thing
when they see it and they can see
an opening for a political job just
little bit farther than most people.
All Is grist that 'comes to their
mill. They live up to the motto
that public office is a public snap
nd the public bedamned. Let us
turn on the light and get ready for
the fray for there will be things
doing in Clackamas in the early
days of next year.
Tom L. Johnson has been
nominated by the Democrats of
Ohio for Governor of that state on
platform that endorses the Kan
fas City platform and W. J, Bryan.
Johnson is one of the big men of this
country and notwithstanding the
fact that he has been always the
friend of the poor and the lowly
nd has stood for hoiestadministra
tlons of I public trusts, he is a very
rich man, being several times over
millionaire. Ohio is a Republican
state by many thousands. In re
cent years th plurality has climb
ed to the 100,000 mark. That
Johnson can overcome that lead
seems almost impossible. That he
will make a desperate effort to be
elected Governor goes without say
ing. He is a big man, broad mind
ed and a fighter from the "old house
to the kitchen . " If elected Govern
or of Ohio he will be in line for
the Democratic nomination far
President next year. We hope h
will win. Here is strength to his
mighty arm and the hope that the
people will rally to the standard of
this great Democratic leader,
FUTURE ASSURED.
If there is a literal land of milk
and honey on the North American
continent, Oregon is the place No
section of this country is as fortu
nately situated climaticallyjnone po
sesses as vast and varied resources.
Oregon is the garden spot of the
Pacific coast,
Her attractions are becoming
known. Already this state is the
mecca of homeseekers from all sec
tions of the East, There are oppor
tunities here not to be found else
where. No state in the Union has
as productive soil as Oregon; none
possesses her wealth of timber.
Her mining resources already at
tract the attention of mining men
from all parts of the world. Only
in the Columbia river is the far
famed Chinook salmon the king
of all food fish found. No more
inviting, field presents itself to capi
tal. Rich in undeveloped resources
this state offers investors oppor
tunities not to be found in the older
and more thickly populated states
of the East, And to cap the cli
max Oregon has a climate that is
surpassed nowhere on the globe.
With all these advantages it
it takes no prophetic epe to see
that in time Oregon will be one of
the greatest states in the Union.
BARRIERS TO C0MPETITI0M.
' ,
In a speech delivered at Creston, !
la., August 10, Congressman Hep.,
burn said: "What are protective j
duties other than barries to free;
competition? When we agree to a
tariff schedule imposing duties upon
our foreign competitor, we say to
him, we do not rely upon your com
petition to secure diminishing cost
for our necessaries of life, but we
propose to give our own people our
entire market and then rely upon
their competition, one with another
to secure the just and fair price."
It is not difficult for the intellig
ent man to understand that the Re
publican party has built up at our
ports these "barriers to free com
petition." Bnt it does not provide
among oui own people "competi
tion, one with another, to secure a
justand fair prices."
The republican party builds up
"barriers to free competition" at
our ports and then fosters the trust
system whereby free competition is
destroyed at home; the whole
tendency of the republican policies
being to benefitthe few at the ex
pense of the many.
TWO GOOD STORIES.
Senator Blackburn, of Kentuc
ky, speaks with the sort Southern
accent the novelists always give to
their Blue Grass heroines.
"Can you tell me, suh," he ask
ed of one of the door keepers at the
f Senate last March," whether Sena
tor Hoah is on the flo'?"
Senator Frye, a great chum of
Blackburn's and an inveterate tease
came by and heard the question.
'No, suh," he replied; "Senator
Hoah is not on the flo.' He went
out that do' at half -past fo'."
NOT so very long ago there was
a big fire in Portland, Maine. A
large number of houses were burned
and many people left shelterless.
' The mayor of Portland, Oregon,
saw'a chance to make a play. He
rushed to the telegraph office as soon
as heheard of the fire andtelepraph
ed to the mayor of the Maine
city:
"Portland, Oregon, sympathizes
with you in your affliction. - What
can we do for Jyou?
The mayor of Portland, Maine,
was touched by this offer of assist
ance from the mayor of the name
sake city. He wired back: "Best
thanks for your offer of assistance.
We need food and clothing and
money to pay for both, for the deso
late." Meantime there had been a meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen of
Portland, Oregon, and those hard
headed citizens could find no ex
cuse for reaching across the counti
nent to help the burned-out in Port
land, Maine. They refused to back
up the mayor's telegram.
That official was In dire distress.
He did not know what to do, but,
after long thought, he let himself
out with this dispatch:
"Much obliged for your prompt
reply. 1 merely asked for informa
tion." THE DEATH PENALTY.
Caleb Powers, the arch conspirator
in the plot that led up to the assas
sination of William Goebel the
Governor of Kentucky has for the
third time been found guilty and
this time he has received the ex
treme penalty of the law and has
by a jury of his peers been condem
ned to death and sentenced to be
hung by the neck, until dead on the
25th day of November of this year;
Murder will out. in the three
trials of Powers, the two trials of
Jim Howard and the one trial of
Henry Youtsey every detail of the
conspiracy to murder Goebel has
been laid bare. No moredamnabie
conspiracy against government and
citizenship has been hatched in the
brain of men since government
was founded and civilization began
its march of conquest in this world
of ours,
That Caleb Powers'is guilty no
honest man who has followed the
testimony can deny. That he de
serves the death penalty in all of
itshorrors and far Teachings is equal
ly true.. There has been neither
passion nor prejudice in his trials.
The crime for which he suffers was
committed on the 28th, day of Janu
ary iS99, now nearly four years
ago, that justice is slow and halting
and moves with much caution is
evidenced by the fact that only one
man, Henry Youtsey, has yet been
punished for that crime. He is in
the penitentiary, a convict for life.
He declined to appeal his case to
the court 0 the last resort. Powers
and Howard have each fought des
perately to evade the punishment
the law fixes for crimes like this. If
repeated trials show anything they
show beyond peradventure that
Gov. W. S. Taylor was the" guilt
iest man in all the crowd who par
ticipated in the conspiracy and be
came criminally guilty in the Goe
bel murder- f avlor has not been
arrested. The night that Lieuten-
arilGverror Eeckham was sworn
ins Governor and that Gcetel
d icd he left the state cf Kentucky
in disguise a fugitive frcm justice,
a nd warderer cn, the face of the
earth. Fe has been sheltered al-
of these four years under the pro
jecting wing of the Republican
Governor of Indiana. Once he
journied to- New York and with
his hands red with blcod, was the
guest and under the protection of
resident, Koosevelt, but that was
before Roosevelt became President
or was even in nomination for Vice
Presidency. He was also a con
spicuous figure in the Republican
National Convention of 19oo. In
time Taylor will be returned to
Kentucky and he will have to stand
trial like any other common crimi
nal. His trial will be full and free
and fair, but the evidence already
proves hirn guilty beyond perad
venture. "Truth crushed to earth will rise
again.
The eternal years of God are ners,
While error wounded writhes in pain
And dies amid her worshippers."
A NEW AND GR0WIN6 INDUSTRY.
Hog raising in the Inland Empire
is rapidly becoming an important
industry. Farmers are giving that
attention to it because it has been
demonstrated that there is money
in the business,. In fact it has
been proved that pork canbe pro
duced cheaper in Eastern Wash
ington than in the corn states and
of a quality thatis excellent.
In the minds of many, the wheat
fed hog is not equal to the animal
that is fed on corn, but there is
little complaint over the quality of
the Washington wheat fed product
and the demand for it is constantly
growing, Grain growers have
found that they can take up hog
raising as a profitable side issue and
every year the business is becom
ing more extensive.
This is a significant change and
one that means much for the state.
Time was when the people of Wash
ington looked to Iowa for their
pork, and hundreds of thousands of
dollars were sent East which might
have been kept at home. There
was no reason why the people
should send away for a meat pro
duct when there was a fine cereal
feed at home, and, happily, the
farmers have realized this fact,
The amount of home raised pork is
increasing yearly and it will not be
long before sections such as the Pa
louse country ought to be as famed
for their pork as for their wheat.
Spokesman Review.
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
The Oregonian is a staunch Re
pumican paper ana usually is a
staunch supporter of Republican
doctrines, but occasionaly the Ore
gonian forgets itself and presents to
its readers doctrines that might
pass muster in the most rabid Dem
ocratic papers in the country. The
following editorial taken verbatum
from the colnmns of last Friday's
Oregonian leads one to believe that
there may be a shaking up of dry
bones in the Republican party one
of these days:
Nowhere else tut in the Bulletin
of the American. Iron and Steel As
sociation should we look for quite
so vigiant anjoutlook on the picket
line of protection to American in
dustries. Especially in respect of
protection to American labor is the
iron and steel interest justly cele
brated. Geography and bioeraohv
fairly teem with names that bring
forcibly to mind the keen solicitude
always felt at Homestead, for ex
ample, by such men as Frick, that
American labor should not only get
liberal wages, but also be protected
from the invasion of cheap foreign
labor. It is entirely fitting, there
fore, that a recent remark of Gov
ernor Cummins, of Iowa, should be
set upon by the Bulletin and shown
up in all its hideous deformity.
- What the Uovernor said was
that "the greatest fallacy of the
age is the idea that because we
are prosperous under laws
those laws will keep us pros
perous." To the casual read
er these woids are, of course, in
ofensive. They might be pardon
ably regarded as trite and obvious
to the point of painful vacuity.
"Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" is a
proverb of infinite depth compared
with the declaration that laws co
existent with eventsjmay not nec
essarily be the cause of the events.
But the Bulletin is clearer-sighted.
It can see things of dire purport
I where others merely gaze on va-
cancy yet seeing .all there is. The
Governor's remark, it says, is "a
distinct tling at our protective tar
iff," and the man who could utter
it is "an enemy of protection."
It is some gain to have the Bul
letin reach the point of intimating
that the iron and steel schedules of
the Dingley law are menaced by
the straight-forward utterance of one
of the simplest facts in tne world,
It Is well enough for it to acknowl
edge in Ihis way that the man who
speaks the truth fearlessly is to be
set down without more ado as the
undoubted enemy of 'protection.
In its next issue the Bulletin might
gofarther and point out, which is
ncthirg tut the truth, that who
ever pronounces a straight line the
shortest distance between two
points is already far along on the
road to distrust of protection. He
is in a lair way to know unjust tar
iffs when he sees them. It mieht
also arraign Moses as the first great
enemy or protection, when he laid
down the tables on which were writ
ten the words "Thou shalt not
steal."

Ministers Protest Against Holding
.Street Fair on Sunday.
The ministers of Oregon City have
raised a vigorous protest against holding
the etreet fair on Sunday . A cr mmittee
of ministers.compoeed of Rev. Bollinger,
of the Congregational church, and Rev.
-t . w . i . . . . . . .
uriujui.oi me jueiDOQist cnurcn, attend
ed the meeting of the city council Wed
nesday night to protect against the mat
ter. They eta ted that they 'represented
theBeniimentb of the various churches
of Ortgon City, both Protestant and
Catholic and also the best people in Ore
gon City, and all of whom wereinfavoi
of having the fair andjbe various shows
clofed up on Sunday. "Not even the
v icked town of Astoria," said Rev. Bol
linger, would countenance such a thing
as holding a street fair on Sunday. "I
know whereof I speak, for I have just
leiurneairom mat place where the re
gatta has been in session."
Mr. Koerner moved that the chief of
police be instructed to see that the fair
I waB clofed on Sunday. The question
broopht forth a warm debate from Coun
cilman Kellv and others, The question
was finally pu' and the vote was tied.
I Mayor P-iniick cast the deciding vote
against the rxiiniBlers. It was claimed
that it would be impofsible to make the
change now as the attractions for the
fair had already been given the privilege
to exhibit on Sunday and there was no
state law proi ibiting their shows on tha
day.
Death; of Mrs. McKay.
Mrs. Mary V. McKay, who died at St.
Vincent's hospital August 16, was a
resident of this city. She was a victim
of consumption and her friends deemed
it the best to remove her to the hospital,
where her every wish would be granted
and her last days on eartb be peaceful.
Mis. McKay was born in Santa Clara
County, Cil., at which place her father,
mother and rne siBter now reBide. She
left one cl lld, a son.
The funeral services were held in
Portland, Aug. 18 from St. Patrick's
church, Rev Eather Hogan officiating,
and the remains laid to reBt in Mount
Calvary cerretery. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful.
Grotesque English.
No doubt purchasers In other lands
have reason to smilo at English at
tempts to worthily describe English
wares in a foreign tongue. It is to be
hoped, however, that our business
houses do not, send forth announce
ments quite so grotesque as some that
come to this country. Here Is a form
