NEWSPAPER'S BROADER FIELD.
As a result of the present ' direct
primary law the Democratic) news
papers of Oregon will have much
greater influence in pnblib affairs
than heretofore. While conditions
stand as at present the Democratio
liress will assume the nearly certain
election of the Republican nominees
ot state offices, with the exception of
governor, circumstances making more
than probable the election next year
of a Democratio chief executive. With
the understanding, therefore, than an
office is to be filled by some Repub
lican, it will become the duty of the
press to advocate and urge the cause
of the man seeking a primary nomi
nation who is most fitted to fl'l the
office. The support during a primary
nominating campaign by a Demo
cratio paper ot one of several Repub
licans seeking a nomination will not
obligate that paper to support this
same man in an election campaign,
providing he is nominated. On the
contrary the paper may be expected to
oppose his election and to urge Demo
crats to uphold the beliefs and teach
ings of Domocraoy by aiding in the
election of the party nominee, hut
i mast not be expected of a paper of
character that it will assist in or ac
quiesce in the nomination of an unfit
person, when nomination almost sig
nifies election, merely because the
ohanoe of a Democratic candidate's
suocess will be strengthened by the
nomination on tne other side of such
a man.
The Democratio iparty wishes to
sucoeed. It does not wish for success
in order that the personal ambition
of a few of its members may be fur
thered but in order tiiat the princi
ples of government that it advocates
may be applied in carrying on the
people's publio business. But it does
not wish to be implicated in the
leotion of oorrupt and unsuitable offi
onus, not even furthering such a sel
ection by its inaottvity, in order that
fraud and corruption and crime may
revel Tin the .council chamber of the
dominant party and eventually lead
to its overthrow. The end is desira
ble but it does not justify such means.
' SA0ACITY OF DOUGLAS.
. t s
Iu the grant made to the Illinois
Central Railway Company, it was
provided that that company should
pay into the treasury of the state of
Illinois seven per cent of the gross re
oeiptj of the business. This result was
brought about through the efforts of
Stephen A. Douglas. Referring to this
faot, a writor in the Dubuque, Iowa,
Telegraph, says: "The Illinois Cen
tral opened for business in 1855 and
that year paid into the state treasury
t he sum of $20,751. Iu 1904 the state's
share of the gross receipts was $!;
0(i3,571. During the fifty yoars the
road has been in existence it has paid
to the state of Illinois the vast sum
of f32,l!10,62fl, an average of over
$450,000 per year. The railroad has
prospered and built new linos south
ward and eastward since it began bus
iuosB and its roeoipts have grown to
uuoriuous proportions perhaps fur bo
youd what Senator Donghis couooive J.
..'ho people of Illinois are relieved by
, lis foresight and sagacity of a very
j considerable burden of taxation. No
othor State in the Union receives any
part of the gross enrniugs of a railroad
ind no other road has paid a sou for its
state franchise, so far as this paper has
knowledge, The justice and wisdom
of the principle laid down by Senator
Douglas will not be disputed, and is
shown to have saved the taxpayers of
Illinois nearly $33,000,000 in fifty
years.. Since 1855 the government lias
given away millious of acrfes of lands
in aid of the construction of railroads,
but the taxpayers of the states .havo
received nothing for the franchises.
Had the precedent set by Douglas
been followed .millions of taxpayers
would have been benefited. The Illi
nois Central is one of the most pros
leroui railways in the country, not
withstanding It pays in perpetuityjfor
the privileges granted by the state
fifty years ago." Commoner.
SOMETHING TO FIGHT FOR.
The Nashville American points out
that five mouths ago Roosevelt carried
Chicago by 110,000 plurality, and that
week bof ore; last aJJuKH'rat Jwas
elected mayor by 24,000 plurality.
"This," remarks the American, "is
change of 185,000 votes in a single
city." The American, however, does
not go into detail. It could have
pointed out, if it s desired, that a
Republican carried Chicago five
months ago because democratio Demo
'rats had nothing in particular to
fight for, while weqk before last dem
ocratio Democrats carried Chicago be
cause tney naa a vital issue and a
strong principle to fight for. When
Democracy goes before the people on
issues that are of vital interest, and
defends principles dear to the hearts
of all loyal Americans, Democracy
will win. The Democratio party has
tried catering to the plutocratic in
terests that control the Repub
lican party and has found that
it cannot outbid the Republican
party for the Javor of plutocracy. Let
the Democracy now get back to the
people, stand for the interests of the
people an 1 fight for the interests of all
instead of the interests of the privi
leged few. The American is one of
the Democratic newspapers that has
tried I to mtbid the Republicans' for
plutocratic. favor. If it has learned
its lesson its case is indeed hopeless.
WORk FOR BOARD OF TRADE.
The business rren of Oregon City
liave been fairly liberal in their sub
scriptions to the Board of Trade. Now
it is up to the Board to show them
that it is worthy of their suppor: and
that the money subscribed is well
spent. This done and the Board will
find it an easy matter to secure addi
tional subscriptions to aid in carrying
on its development work.
The recently burned" Bannockburn
woolen mills, of Albany, are going to
be rebuilt and the town that can offer
the company the best inducements
will secure the enterprise. If the
Board of Trade can "land" these
mills in Oregon City it will have al
ready accomplished enough to justify
its organization. The business men
who are lukewarm in assisting will
rally to its support. The responsibil
ity of energetio management now rests
with the direotors of the Board. In
the board of directors, the president
and seoretary are expected to take the
initiative. The Board of Trade ;s
trustee of the fund subscribed by en
terprising citizens of Oregon City.
If it fails in the proper management
of the fund or in getting results from
it, the Courier shall consider itself at
liberty to locate the resposibility and
make a "howl. "
MORE ABOUT THE FAIR.
A correspondent comes forward from
Canby strongly advocating the Cour
ier's suggestion of holding in Clacka
mas county an annual fair. When
the question is brought to the "boil
ing point" there will be many loca
tions bidding for the fair grounds.
Good natured rivalry on this point
will only aid in the success of the en
terprise. Bat there must be no surli
ness or opposition from defeated lo
calities. When the site is selected the
issue must be considered settled and
past strife forgotten.
Canby would probably offer as an
inducement the best race course in
the state. On Canby Prairie a race
track oould be coustructe d at small
expense that would rival any 111 the
o6untry. What do othor localities
think about the project? Is there a
general demand for a county fair?
The sentiment of the county on the
subject can be gotten by an expression
from someone in each locality. Peo
ple are often reluctant about giving
publio expression to their1 views on
questions of publio interest but men
who will "speak up" are useful
members of the community in winch
they reside.
PENALTY IS SEVERE.

ClltKKV PECTORAL.
Pale, Thin,
Nervous?
When he was informed tt xhe final de
cree of the supreme court that snapped
the thread of his last hope he did not
bewail his fate or rail against man or
law, but philosophically submitted to
the inevitable.
Lauth was well educaetd and a
companionable man.' A mad and misdi
rected infatuation led to his deplora
ble end. A general sentiment pre
vails that there were mitigating cir
cumstances conneoted with the crime
that lessened the offense and that the
penalty of death is tob seveie. To
his frantic, fevered mind, in a mo
ment of passion, the deed may have
seemed justifiable. His victim was lit
tle wronged for she respected neither
right nor law nor honor. Society
was truly offended, but probably not
so deeply that it should exact the for
feiture of a human life.
Land Changes Hands.
Three real estate sales have recently
been made in this county. J. M. Churc
hill, of Linn county, has purchased
85 acres near Mulino from Andrew
Zeuger, for 1050. Mr. Churchill will
reside on the place. Forty acres on
the Molalla road, three miles snnrh
of Oregon City, have been 1 sold to
Reid Bros., by L .Bucknjan, of Port
laud, for $1700. T. C. Howell has
purchased from O. E. Freytag, ten
acres on the Clackamas bottom for
$250 ru acre.
First Land Title Registered.
First land title ever registered nn-
der the Torrens system was ordered in
the cirouit court Friday. Several ap
plications nave been made in the past,
but in every instance there was a de
feet in the proceedings that prevented
their registration. By an order of
the court Jacob Watne was deoiared
the owner in fee simple of a piece of
property nar Marquani.

had three of the best physicians, who
did me no good, and I was practically
given up to die. Foley's Kidney
Cure was recommended and the first
bottle gave me great relief, and after
taking the second bottle I was en
tirely cured. ' For sale by Huntley
