SACAJAWEA.
Heroism is common to womanhood.
The race that claimed Sacajawea
deemed unceasing toil, the hardships
of hunRer and cold and the entire bur
den of household cares the part as
signed by nature to woman. Upon
man, her master, was imposed the
nobler pursuits of wnr and the chase.
We universally profess to have ad
vanced far beyond this savage notion
of feminine inferiority, As a people
we have done so in fttct. Yet on con
sideration of the matter one will be
startled by the great number of indi
vidual instances he can recall where
in the Bed man's theory prevails.
Fidelity, patience and uncomplain
ing endurance were not the charac
teristics of this silent Indian maiden
alone; they are traits that distinguish
the women of her race. No, not the
women of her race, but womankind.
Ohance called forth an expression of
these noble traits from the obscure
Indian girl. The events in which she
figured have formed one of the prom
inent chapters in the world's history.
The romance of this chapter is inter
woven with the name of Sacajawea.
When the time came for the con
quest of the Western wilderness, she
became the instrument in the hands
of Destiny to show the adventurous
Americans the way. She pointed out
the devious trail that would lead them
into the land they sought. Her un
tutored mind could not conceive that
the setting sun toward which they
were journeying was going down for
ever on the (doniain of her people;
that it would rise on the morrow to
glisten on the mountain peaks and
sparkling rivers as of old, but on that
morrow they would be the jewels that
adorned a conquered domain, once the
unndsputed possession of the roving
tribesmen, now the lands of the great
white race.
Passing time establishes the epoch-
making events. Their relative im
portance is not recognized at the time
of their occurrence. The actors in
them and the parts they played are
given their rightful place in the ensu
ing years. ' .
The authoress of the "Conquest"
gave to the Indian girl of whom we
speak her merited place in history.
Through her moving spirit a statue of
Sacajawea is to be erected on the site
where is to be celebrated the event
in which she played her part. A more
enduring monument of her achieve
ment has been imprinted in the mem
ory of our western population. It
will remain when this physical like
ness is crumbled and gone.
COMMODORE NICHOLSON
RECOMMENDS PE RU NA.
COLORADO'S SHAME.
Last November Alva Adams, the
Democratio nominee, was elected gov
ernor of Colorado by a large majority
of the voters of the state. James H.
Peabody, his Republican opponent,
though overwhelmingly defeated, con
tested his election, relying on a Re
publican legislature to usurp the pre
rogative of the people, thwart their
will, and impose upon them a charac
terless adventurer against whose ele
vation they had protested by their
ballots. The action of the legislature,
though not sustaining Peabody, was
none the less infamous. It seated him
for a day upon his promise of resigna
tion in order that the lieutenant gov
ernor, Jesse F. McDonald, might be
come governor.
McDonald had no claim whatever to
the governorship. No citizen of Col
orado had ever, cast a vote for him for
that office. The people never dele
gated to the legislature the power to
eleot them a governor.
What will the people do about it?
Nothing. They are not in a position
to do anything. They would not go
so far as to cast a vote f -r a man of
the Peabody stripe. We would not
do such a thing in Clackamas county.
They would elect legislators possibly
a shade better than Peabody, however,
who would not hesitate to impose
him on the people to further their am.
bitions. We have done as much as
that in Claokamas connty.
Colorado, deep as is her shame, is
PllOS'M 'COMMODORE '
NICHOLSON. U
COMMODORE Somervllle N tcholson,
of the United States Navy, in a
letter from 1887 R Street, Northwest,
Washington, B.C., says:
'Your Peruna has been and Is now
used by so many of my friends and
acquaintances asa sure cure for catarrh
that I am convinced of Us curative
qualities and I unhesitatingly recom
mend It to all persons suffering from
that complaint."
Our army and our navy are the natural
proteotlon of our country.
Peruna is the natural protection of
the army and navy in the vicissitudes
of climate and exposure.
We have on file thousands of testi
monials from prominent people in the
army and navy.
We can give our readers only a slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
indorsements Dr. Hartman is con
stantly receiving for his widely known
and efficient remedy. Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at mce to Dr. S. B. Hartman,
President it The Hartman Sanitarium,
Columbus, Ohio, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice.
THE PRIMARY PLEDGE-ORGANIZE NOW.
Mr. Bryan has been in receipt of a
multitude of letters since the election
urging organization for the campaign
of 1908. The rank and file of the
party are ready to begin the light;
they only await a plan of oo-opera-tion.
This plan hag been under con
sideration for some weeks and is here
with submitted.
Let eaoh Demoorat pledge himself
to attend all of the primaries of his
party to be held betweon now and the
next Democratio national convention,
unless unavoidably prevented, and . to
use his iuuiience to secure a clear,
honest and straightforward declara
tion of the party's position on every
question upon whioh tho voters of the
patry dosire to speak.
This plan does not involve the writ
ing of a platform in advanoe of tho
primaries; it does not rest upon the
paramonut importance of any one is
sue. It rooognizos the right of the
Democratic voters to control tho
policy of. the Democratio party, and
to determine its position upon publio
questions. It also recognizes the im
portance of hoiuwty and sinoority in
politics.
This proposition will appeal to all
who believe in the rnlo of tho people
to all who are willing that the ma
jority should govern in party manage
ment and in tho nation. It does not
mean that thoso who exert themselves
to secure a good platform will be
bound to support a had platform that
is a question which eacli must deter
mine for himsnlf-lmt it does moan
that the Domocratio platform shall
give voioo to tho prevailing sentiment
of the Do.nooratio party, and that tho
party ahull take the country into its
confidence. The pledge proposed is
a primary pledgo-because the people
spoak at the primaries. The national
convention is attendod by delegates
and eaoh delegate represents tens of
thousands of Democrats. Tho state
oouveution is also attended by dele
gates, and these represent thousands
or Democrats. The county conven
tions are, as a rulo, attended by dele
gates, and these in turn represent
hundreds of Democrats. At the pri-
mary the voters speak for themselves ;
there Democracy has its citadel.
When the work of organization is
sufficiently advanced, a time can be
set for the meeting of the members
in their various localities. The mem
bers of this organization, while
pledged to but one thing namely, at
tendance upon the primaries are
urged to co-operate among thomselves
for the. support-of every effort put
forth to eliminate corrpution in poli
tics. No cause can , prosper perma
nently that does not appeal to the
moral sense of the country, and the
moral sense'of the country is now be
ing awakened to the importance of
purifying politios.
The Commoner will do its part in
aiding every movement that has for
its object the ascertainment of the
will of the people and tho sorupulous
enforcement of that will.
The Commoner will also furnish all
the information that it can upon the
quostions which are before, the pu,blio
to tho end that its readers may be
prepared to render the maximum of
assistance to every worthy cause.
Who will be the first to make this
pledge? A rocord will be kept in The
Commoner office of the name and ad
dress of eaoh person who enters into
this movement. Those who desire
to bo enrolled can either write ap
proving the object of tho organiza
tion, and asking to have their names
entered on the roll, or they can fill
0111 aim man tne blank which will be
1 found upon another page.
Tho Commoner will be pleased to
publish a limited numoer of brief let
ters on this subject. Mr. Bryan is en
couraged by his ccfrrespondoiice to be
lieve that there w il . be a prompt and
hearty response to the above proposi
tion. Newspapers favoring ' the plan out
lined are requested to roproduoe this
editorial togethor with the primary
pledge. They may. request their
leaders to sign this pledge and for
ward the same to the oflioe of their
local Democratio paper. These pledges
may be then forwarded in bulk to The
Commoner office where they will be
duly recorded.
not in more disgrace than Oregon.
Will the people there, and will the
people here read a lesson in this usur
Dation? Will it bring to them con
victidn that a moral degenerate is a
cancerous'affection in publio affairs?
One pledge we elicit from yon, cit
izenthat you will never be a party
to the" advancement of any person
known to bo lacking in integrity or
honesty of purpose to a place of honor
or trust. Let men adopt this princi
pie and stand by it, there will be lit
tie censure of publio officers; there
will be little ground for complaint in
the administration of pnblic affairs.
In the fall of 1903 congress ad
journed its regular sessions and was
immediately convoked in special ses
sion. The house of representatives,
at its session just ended, voted an ap
propriation of $190,000 to pay mileage
of its members going to and returning
from their homes between the regular
and special sessions. Not one of them
made the trip. For once in its history
the senate saved the people from a
monumental graft. The people should
acknowledge their responsibility for
suoh occurrences. Oregon does' her
share. She furnishos her Hermann
and hor Williamson, knowing them
all the time. Clackamas county need
not shirk responsibility. She cast a
majority of her vote for Biuger Her
mann. Shame upon these perpetrat
ors of crimes against the people ; more
shame upon the people, who know
ing them, elevate them to places of
honor and high position.

The Primary Pledge
I promise to attend all the primaries of my party to be held be
tween now and the next democratio national convention, unless
avoidably prevented, and to use my influence to secure a clear,
honest and straightforward declaration of the party's position on
every question upon which the voters of the party desire to speak.

Referendum Petitions Out.

Mr. Jaggar is a Republican and Mr.
Turner is one of the most prominent
Democrats in Clackamas county, but
party lines are obliterated on this
