THE STRAIGHT TICKET.
The Legislature, as has beon its
practice for a uuniber of yars, Is uow
devising schemes to fool the people.
The present Australian ballot law
gives the honest intelligent voter too
great an opotunity to have some voice
in , elections. Therefore a corrupt
gang of inachino politicians have
taken it into their heads to doctor the
law to the end that they may corral
the scum and rabble and vote it after
the manner of olden times.
At the last session of the Legisla
ture the gang got a bill through both
houses permitting a voter to vote a
straight party ticket by makiug a
single cross at the head of the ticket.
Govern ir Chamberlain promptly and
very properly vetood the measure.
A determined effort is uow being
made to pass the bill over his veto.
Such measures as this are foisted
on the people from the basost of
motives. The result intended to be
gained by the new law is simply this.
The henchman of the boss is in power
can stand around the polls and "but
tonhole" tho voters as they appear for
the purpose of casting their ballots.
A promise is wrong from the voter to
"vote straight." A few seconds in
the election booth is sufficient time to
make a single mark on the ballot and
the voter knows that, if he tarries
longer the fact that he has
"soratohed" his ballot will be de
tected. Every body knows that there
is a large element that for one reason
or another will not cast the ballot of
its choice when it ceases to be a secret
ballot. It will promise to vote the
straight ticket under pressure and
"sounders" will keep watch to detect
any breaoh of the promise. Under
this law, the gang, of which a large
number are now trotting uudor indict
ments of the Federal grand jury,
could nominate men of their own stripe
for publio offleo and could not only
' nominate but variably elect them.
When a man is so unfit and so corrupt
that he cannot be elected to office in
a state that is .thirty thousand ma
jority Republican, our Legisla
ture is in fine business in attempt
ing io remoaoi cite election laws so as
to enable him to buy his way in. It
seeems to be paving the way for men
of tho Furnish stripe to take another
whirl, when their money may more
certainly buy an election.'
The "Oourior" will take the pains
to announce the namos of the mem
bers of the OlankamHS countj dele
gates who support this moasure. ' ,
There are not t hough of these let
ters from representative citizen.
Pass your ideas around.
The wonderful Btrength of the So
cialist party grows out of the unity
of thought and belief of its follow
ers. They exchange ideas... They
argue and reason and meet on a com
mon ground. We do not say that
they have reached the right con
clusions: on the contrary we think
them wrong. But who doubts the
efficiency of the letters of W. W.
Myers in fortifying the positior of
socialism.
If the best men will speak up and
agitate questions thtt concern the
people generally, the best men will
have more to say in the conduct of
county affairs than they have had in
the past enjoyed.
WISHING THE BOYS SUCCESS.
The Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation has commenced a campaign for
raising money to build the associa
tion a home at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, Corvallis. The bo;s
will succeed for they never fail in
any thing they undertake. They
should succeed the more in this, for
it is a commendable undertaking.
There has been great intolerance
and prosecution exe-cised in the name
of religion. Agnosticism has been
equally cruel and unrelenting in its
abuse and disregard of, personal rights
aud mental freedom. But these were
the tyrannies 'of an intolerant age.
This narrow conception of religion
has given plac to a faith founded on
the broad foundation principle of
morality and brotherhood of man.
The Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, as an organization, is an expon
ent of such a religion.
The assofciationS power foi good is
inestimable. It creates the moral
atmosphere of school life. It steadies
the steps of youth, faltering, uncer
tain, hesitating in the hour of temp
tation. It lightens the way that
would otherwise be dark. It com
forts the disconsolate and its influence
is ever present, cheering and
encouraging.
The Y. M. O.' A. building will be
built by private subscription. A donor
to such an enterprise has only to
acquaint himself with Y. M. 0. A,
work and methods to know how far
reaching and truly charitable is his
donation.
HIDE YOUR LITTLE HAMMER,
THIS WE COMMEND.
Publio opinion, ngitatod, has evon
to this day and in thoso corrupt times,
some wolght in directing the course
of publio affairs But the acts of
our publio servants do iyit, have to
pass the Master's inspection these
days that of soveruigu people. There
is individual wutchf ullnoss, individual
detection of dishonesty and imposi
tion ou tho people and individual de
nunciation, But there is lacking tho
unity of thought and action that fol
lows a moulded publio opinion.
Diseussionof matters of publio in
terest tends to shape the sentiment of
the peoplo toward correct conclusions.
A more general exchange of ideas is
expootod through discussion and sug
gestions publisiied in tho county
papers. ' If there is one thing that
should be scattered far and near as
free as tho leaves of the forest, it is
tho best thoughts of our best citizens.
The man who honors his gold warps
only his own withered soul, hut they
who hoard golden Ideas that would
brighten the world and lightens its
burdens, committs the sin of oru mis
sion that helps to blight the genera
tions to come.
In last week's Courier was a com
munication f from Win. A. Stark
weather. Such articles as this have
groat wnight and carry conviction,
not alone by reason of their outspoken
and convincing stylo, but also because
the reading publio recognises at once
tho publio spirited motive that in
spires the article.
No doubt every member of Clacka
mas county's delegation in tho Legis-
lature will read Mr. Starkweather's
article. As a result the delegation
will in all probability vote solidly
against the payment by tho state of a
private corporation's debt. This
communication is worthy of tho high
est commendation.
If there, is any chance to boom busi
ness, boom it. Don't be a knocker.
Hope a hit. Get a smile on you
Hold up your head. tGet a hold with
both hands. Then pull. Bury your
hatohet. Drop your tomahawk. Hide
your little hammer. When a stranger
drops in toll him this is the greatest
town on earth. It is. Don't get
mulish. Don't boast. Be jolly.
Help yourself along. Push your
friend with you. Soon you'll haVe
a whole procession. No man ever
helped himself by knocking other
poople down. , No man ever got rich
trying to make people believe that he
was the only' good man on earth, You
can't .climb the ladder of fame by
stepping on other people's corns. All
men are not alike. If you don't like
their style lot 'em alone. There is no
end of fun minding your own busi
ness. And it makes other people like
you better. Better have others got
stuck ou you that get stuck oil your
self. Nobody gets stuck on a knocker.
Don't be one. Cut it out.

A Qrira Tragedy.
is daily enacted, in thousands of
homes, as Death claims, in each one,
another victim of Consumption or
pneumonia. But when coughs and
colds are properly treated, the tragedy
is averted. F. G. Huntley, of Oak
landon, Ind. , writes: "Mv wife had
the consumption, and three doctors
gave her up. Finally she took Dr.
King's New Discovery for consump
tion, coughs and colds, which cured
her, aud today she is well and
strong." It kills the germs of all
diseases. One dose relieves. Guar

the kidney-poisoned
blood will at

the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine aitd
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes tliat unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordiutry
effect of Swamp-Roof is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of he most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take an 1 is

offer in this paper. Don't make ojv
mistake, but remember the name, Swaiup

address, Binghaniton, N. Y., on every
bottle.
