U kKUON CITY, IVUROfl 11, W4 Deniocratx Committee Mteting A meeting of the Democratic County Cetitial Committee will 1)0 held in Ore gon City on March 16th for the purpose o! a p rtr ning delegates to and fixing tune lor Primaries to elect delegates to next County Convention, and any other bufijntes that may come before it aa a body. Meeting will be held at Item oemtic Club room in Garde building at 10:30 a. m. K. B Bbatie, Chairman. E II. Mass, Secretary. BRYAN AND CLEVELAND. Under the above caption the Cinni' nati Enquirer prints the following edi toril, which ought to be read by every Democrat in America. The Enquirer certainly sounds a harmonious note, and all Democrats should realize that now is the time to get together and stay together. The nominees of the National Convention will be neither Bryan nor Cleveland, but a conserva tive man for whom any Democrat can conscientiously vote. Mr. Bryan ia one of the many girding allutiiotiH wh'ch he seems never to tire of making Mr. Cleveland is ropo-ted recently to have spoken of him with what see nis rather a labored attempt at wit, as "rai'k." It is hard to see what it is hoped to accomplish by indulging in this ungentle, not to say,, coarse calling of names inside our household. For it must be remembered we are all Dem ocrats, rnd the fulminations of no one man, which ever wing of the party he be found in, is going to make ub anything else. There lias never been a time' in our history, unless it be recently, when any one man has assumed the exe'usive right to say v. hat were the requisites and what the unmistakable signs of Democracy, much less to assume that they could be only such as he might ap prove of. While we have certain fundamental principles which all recognize and bow to, the policy of the party has varied at different periois, and there always has beeu room for many shades of opinions within its lines. This is true even in ecclesiastical organizations, where rigid formulas cf belief have always been In sisted on, but where now a wide tolor ance and chatity as to creed is growing up. Bo long is a man marches under a banner he may be high, low or broad church without his loyalty being ques tioned, but all agree in trying to coi tribute to general success. Within a few days two great branches of the Pres byterian church, long at cross purposes, have dropped their disagreements and united on a platform which ignors dis sensions and all questions that are not of to-day. We have as a party at one time been for hard money, and at another for greenbacks, and when an issue hag been fought out and has become obaolute we have always had the souse to realize it and pass on to something alive. This is no time fur party quarries, and for any man to iusist that orthodoxy is his duxy and heterodoxy some other man's doxy, or that those holding Mr. Hryan's view, or Mr. Cleveland's view, alone are Democrats. Nor is it competent for anyone to say because n man had par ticular opinions, or voted a particular way in IStKi, or in 1900, whatever way it hiay have h.ii'ii, that he Is to he read out of the piirty or ia to have any less consideration In its councils than' oue who took an opposite course. When the United States, which had been split into warring factions, was confronted by a foreign puenn, it gladly enlisted iu its service those who had been in arms against each other, and aide by liile they marched to victory. Imagine General Young and General Wheeler delaying the campaign before Santiago and frustrating itt success by topping to wrangle over the constitu tional rights of secession. We have had oar disenlons, but like those which caused the Civil War they are of the past, the silver men and the gold men, Cleveland men and Bryan mm, should be found shoulder to shoulder in the ranks, If we are t) win it must be so, A party is to large and important an organisation to have its movements thrown into confusion and its success endangered by permitting minor differ ences to become rampant and frittering away the strength and energy which should be concentrated on the opposi tion ia petty internal squabbles. The Democratic party has performed a great part in the history of the country and its mission ia still nnfulfiled. On the threshold of a new century lie abun dant opportunities which may be seized and utilized to give it again control, and bring back simplicity, economy and a due regard for the jut power ' of the states to the Government at Washing ton. To accomplish this one must not insist that he is of Paul and another that be is of Appolos, but all must be ready in the spirit of conciliation to give and take, to spend and to be spent for the common cause. If any one, no mat ter who, who has been a leader or still claims to be one, persists 'in trying to inflame old quarrels or bring dead issues to the front, discard him. No man is greater than his party, and it is always open to a man who finds himself out of harmony with his party to leave it. But we none of us are. Although we have magnified temporary issues and permi ted antagonism to grow up about them, we agree as. to essentials, and when we find ourselves fighting togethar for them we Bhall become once more the united and invincible Democracy of old. Speed the day ! THE ATMOSPHERE. To the scientific farmer the composi tion of the atmosphere is a matter of im portance. It consists of nitrogen and oxygen mixed together. They are not chemically united. The nitrogen serves no purpose but to dilute the oxygen. If we were to breathe pure oxygen, we would all become intoxicated very quickly. The fires within us would burn so rapidly that liie would be pos sible for a few moments only. The nitrogen of the atmosphere is perfectly inert. None of it is absorbed into the system. We breathe out just exactly the same amount we inhale. Nitrogen ia a very important ingred ient of the human body, but it cannot be obtained directly from the atmos phere. It must first be absorbed by plants, utilized by them into Iruits, cer eals, or roots. It then appears as pro taide, albumin, and other nitrogenous compounds. Properly cooked and properly digested these foods conyey nitrogen to the hu man body, Ic is from the nitrogenous compounds that all the tissues of the body a 'e made. , We are in an ocean of nitrogen mixed with one-fourth part oxygen. Nitrogen touches on eveiy side. It extends all over the earth about fifty miles deep. And yet we are incapable of appropriating any of it for the needs of the body. It serves a veiy useful purpose, to be Bure, in diluting the oxygen, but it is absolutely unavail able as nitrogen. If it were not for plant life that appropriates the nitrogen, all animals would very quickly d t appear from the face of the earth for the waut of nitrogen. On January 20, 11)02, there was signed at London, a treaty of offensive and de fensive alliance between Great Britain and Japan. Citing tlu-ir interests in China find Korea, it is stipulated in Article II as follows : "If either Great Britain or Japan, in the defense of their lecpuctive interests as above described, slwuld become in volved in war with another Power, the other high contracting party will main tain a strict neutrality ami use its efforts to prevent other parties from joining in hostilities against its ally." But article III leaves no question as to how i s efforts will 'be used in behalf of Japau if any other Power bhould side with Russia. It reads as follows: "If, in the above event, nnv other Power or Powers should join iu hostili ties against that ally, the other high contracting party will come to its assist ance and will conduct the war iu com mon, and make peace in mutual agree ment with it." "Let. us be done with fetich worship," shouts the Sioux Tribuue, one of the in fluential republican papers of Iowa. "Let us throw over the doctrine inspired by commercial piracy ; let us repudiate the absurd logic that a Mi sea the real pro lection principle. While the stand patters are busy with their machiuations, their person! ambitions, their obliga tions to monopolistic campaign contri butors, and are trying to plant torpedoes j in the path of expansion, let the people of the west remember the words of the immortal Farragut : 'Damn the torpe doesgo ahead I' " THE BOOTH-KELLY OLIGARCHY, Tl e Roseburg Plaindealer is and al ways has been the organ of the Repub l'csji party of Douglas county. What it says, therefore, of the re-appointment of Booth and Bridges to the position of register and receiver in the Roseburg U. 8. land office must be taken as un doubtedly showing what a powerful factor the Booth-Kelly 0'itfit is in the rotten republican machine of Southern Oregon. The Piaindealer dec' ares: "The gov ernment la-id office has been turned over to the Booth-Kelly Lumber com- piny to manipulate and the citizens are asked to turn over the Congressional of fice to the Booth-Kelly Lumber corn par y: and Senator Booth wants to steal Irom every settler his right to tho streams of water; and the timber spec ulators made Sttuitor Boorh their cham pion to foist up n the people a burden of exhorbitant taxation to protect the timber upon their lands, too often stolen from the government and more often from the honest, hardworking s sitters; and some of the voters are asking this queetioa ; shall the whole of Western Oregon he turned over to the Booth Keliy Lumber company? "State Sena or Booth is an enemy of individual effort in building up ti e re eources of Orfgon for his action in the senate one year ago was entirely in fav or of robbing settlers of their rights to the water course and to burden them .with taxation to protect timber Bharks land and the effort ot Booth-Kelly Lum ber company has been to rob many set tlers in Oregon out of their just claims to the public land. i That LaGraude stealing of the homesteaders' land was a disgrace to the State of Oregon. Thid man Booth must be repudiated and de feated at the primaries, county conven tions and at the joint senatorial conven lion. Such men are politicaly a disgrace to the republican party and the entire State of Oregon." If Editor Brookes had worked in a Booth Kelly lbggiug camp ho would no doubt have noticed that his check came from San Francisco. Here we t have it, California black republicans, or more correctly, money-grubbers who d 3 not care a tinker's darn for politics, controlling the political destinies of Western ' Oregon and the welfare of thousands of its inhabitants. THE YELLOW PERIL. Michael Davitt, Irish .member of the British parliament, is of the opinion that the "yellow peril" is not fanciful. The question is, he says, suppose the capitilists, trusts and corporations of England and the United States should think of developing these 350,000,000 of industries, Inteligent and docile people oi China, by the erection of mills, fac tories, foundries, worksho ps, etc., in their midst, as English capitalists are doing today in India aud in Japan. What then? Capital has neither patriotism nor conscience. By the direction of the economic laws of profits, it goes where it can obtain the greatest rewards for ita investments, where efficient work can be iud for the lowest wages and w here con ditions ot t'.xts and competition are the most favorable to thercpid acquisi tion of wealth. This is the governing creed and practice of capital everywhere. China offers to English and American exploitation of lab ir the graitest field ever opened np to the ambition of or ganized capital. An ordinary adult In China will work for ten cents a day. At Nagasaki and Oeaka in Japan English cotton mill own ers have employes of both sexes tint work from twelve t fifteen hours a day for less than $1 50 a week. In British India the wages are even lower than in Japan. At Madras compositors work for about one shilling a day 25 centb. British India is an example of what China may become under foreign rule, directed and dominatod by the money power of England. There are some 200,000,000 of a population highly civil ized and docile in British India. England has ruled these countless millions of Eastern people for the last 150 years, with what results? Mr. William Digby, C. I. E., an ex British Indian official, in his latest work, "Prosperous British India," published by Fisher Union, London, proves to hilt the following tacts : The avei age daily wage per head of a worker in India in 1850 was two penae (four cents). In 1882 it was one penny and a half, in 1900 it was three farthings. These 200,000,000 of Eastern people are British subjects. Not one human bein? among them can exercise the right to vote for an English governor sent from London to rnle them, for the GLADSTONE Get a home where you have all the fresh air and freedom of the country, and at the same time every," advantage of oty life.. Th; elegant cars of the Oregon Water P6er and Railway Com pany make the run t Glad itone from Oregon City in s.x minutes. After1 your day's work you travel home in luxury and cdmLrt. i The great offer of the Gladstone Real Estate Association made to the people of Oregon, of one hundred lots to be se lected by the purchaser in the handsome townsite of Gladstone, at an even Jioo per lot, $io down and $io per month with out interest, has attracted widespread attention. Already lots are being sold to careful, conscientious buyers, who not only know a bargain when theV see it, but are taking advantage of the low price to get an elegant' property where the location is ideal anit.he enhancement in values is sure to follow. Already Portlcnd buyers are rapidly approaching Gladstone on the north. In two years time the e'eUnc cars will not be out of sight of handsome dwellings in the entire run of I2miles from 1 Oregon City to Portland. There is no the two cities by the time of the great Lewis and Uark exposition.. Ask any fair man, consult your own good, common sense and there can be but one conclusion, and that is, that property between Oregon Ciry and Portland is as safe as stock in the First National Bank of Portland. It is far bs-ter than money at interest. Again, if you ask any fair and unpreju diced man, who does not own property of his ow.i so situated as to be a rival for public favor, as to the handsomest suburb of Oregon City and with greatest promise for the future, and he will unhesitatingly say : GLADSTONE. Already there is a population of five hundred people at Gladstone and not a vacant house. Schools, churches, telephone System and all other modern and up-to-date conveniences rapidly following. Remember the Great Proposition is- 100 lots of your ovn selection, in the splendid townsite of Gladstone, on the b:nks of the Clackamas river, a mountain stream famed for its beauty and purity, at $100 per lot, $10 down and $10 per month without taxes or interest. , Any purchaser can have his money back with $25 profit on each lot when he has paid for his property, if he is then dissatisfied, provided he give 30 days previous notice to that effect bright, capable agents wanted in every commu nity to whom liberal inducements willbe made to sell Gladstone Property.
