The approval, by tlio county court, of die Barton Bridge project will cer tainly bo a great surprise to tho tax payers of Clackamas county. We can not Bee tlio justice in diverting such a large fund to thu benefit of such a Hinall locality. A strip of land along tlio left bank of the Clackamas in en hanced in value tin J a small number of farmers nro brought conveniently near railroad transportation. These are ends to be desired but this local ity has, now, tlio host road in the county, constructed to a considerable extent by the enterprise and push of tlio citizens of tlio locality, to be euro, hut also assisted by the general fund. Consider how many ynars the coun try lying south of Oregon City has had to travel a circuitops routo around by the Pifth street roud to get into Oregon City. All knew tlio Law toullill road as neodod, but there were .outlying districts in the county that had to travol almost impassable roads to got to market. Improvement of such highways is a necessity and Should como boforo bridges across the Clackamas and such luxurious, expen diture of county funds. The Highland country is only half ujdozon miles in actual distance from the railroad. Residents of this sec tion, howover, would rather travel 12 or 15 miles than to n.ake their way over the Highland-Springwater road. Here is a fine section of the couuty that is greatly in need of an improved highway to market. Hero tho couuty could justly expond a considerable amount of mouey. It would be justi fied on the ground of the country be ing admittedly isolated and inconven ient Ito market. Not so of the resi dents along the left bank of the Clack amas opposite Barton. They have a splendid drive to Portland and to Ore gon City. Tho O. VV. P. & Ry. Co. goffers to contribute $3000 toward tho cost of this bridge. This shows who roally wants it. Tho bridge is not bnilt yet. Thoso whihavo given the mutter con sideration would do well to give ex pression to their views through letters to the county press. In this way tho sentiment of tlio people on tho subjcot will bo fascortainod . Such discussion hriugs tho matter to tho attention of tho people and they weigh and con sider it. If tlio puhlio is largely op posed to tho construction ef the Bar ton bridge, it vvilljnot be built. ' There is a partially constructed courthouse iji Astoria, covered with old beardH, and awaiting the time that OlatsopVoiiiity's debt may ho wiped out, that the injunction of an enraged taxpayer to prevent, the county incur ring unlawful debt, may not lie. Those interested may take a gbiiico at the abandoned hulk and read u lessen in it on their way to the seashoro vacation, Mr. Morton and other Santa Fe offi cials. Their motives are known to be disinterested and above suspicion. But Mr. Koosovelt, with exeoutive, not with judioiary powers, declares his friend, Mr. Morton, innocent and prevents the courts from hearing his case. Tho coddling of Loomis was an unfortunate mistake, bnt the protec tion of Paul Morton takes on some of the aspects of a national scandal. In every railroad headquarters in the country there will be rejoioing. To save Paul Mroton from the neces sity of defending himsolf Mr. Rooso velt has practically issued a general amnesty to all railroad lawbreakers. Personal guilt is abolished. Only cor porations can '"sin, and for them the penalty is a trifling fine. In order that Paul Morton Jmny go scot-free Mr. Roosevelt makes a dead letter of the statute. J President Roosevelt has deliberately and with set purpose committed one of the gravest blunders of his administration. Governor of Endorses PEOPLE WON'T STAND IT. President Roosevelt has issued or ders directing a more liberal interpre tation of the Chinese exclusion act, saying that "the purpo e of the gov ernment of tho United States is to show the widest and heartiest courtesy toward all merchants, teachers and students who m .y come to the United States, as well as all Chinese officials or representatives in any capacity of tho Chinese government." The presi dent says that all individuals of these classes "are allowed to come and go of their own freo will and accord, and are to bo given all tho rightB, privileges, and immunities accorded the citizens and subjects of the most favored nations." The president says that while the laborers must be "strictly excludod" tho law must be enforc.d "without harshness. Washington dispatches say that Mr. Roosevelt took this step to "prevent the threatened Chineso boycott against American manufacturers," and it is pointed out that the value of Ameri can exports to China and Hong Kong in li)04 amounted to more than $23, 000,000. Some Pacific coast people say this order means the beginning of theTend of tho Chinese exclusion act. Commonor. Tho large manufacturers and em ployers of labor throughout the United States would like to see an end of the Chinese exclusion act. By such means they hope for a settlement of their Mabor troubles. With Chinese labor pouring in to tuke overy avail able place left open by striking work men there would be no necessity for lockouts and closed factorios. This may be the dream of the em ployer of labor but on the day that this Nation opens her ports to the chattering hordes of yellow people, the couutry will shake with the tumul tuous thunder of an augorod people. The American laborer has not yet been reduced to a wage of 10 cents per day, audhe will not submit to a com petition with the ignorant bunds of Orientals that would bring him to such condition. If necessary, we can got along without the Chinese market. Under no circumstances can we put up with an influx of Chinese laborers. OUR POSITION. TO SAVE A FRIEND. Mr. Roosevelt's Morton letter has boon a bitter pill fur his admirers to wallow. In no ipiiirter is there a dis position to defend tho President's con duct. A few Republican newspapers nro apologizing for him. Some are trying to explain. Others, like the Tribune, ignore tho incident. The majority niako but little effort to con ceal their astonishment and disap pointment that Mr. Roosevelt should m misuse his powers. The Loomis incident also is coming in for its share of plaiu-spokou criti cism. Tho dismissal of Bowon was uouorallv npi roved. The "vindica tion" cl Loomis wasjrogardod as some-1 what dubious. But the promotion of Loomis on the heels of this scandal is t he subject of gouerous and hearty denunciation, as it should be. To joako this man a special ambassador and ompower him to mako "reforms" ia the diploiuatio service is carrying a bad joke beyond tho average mail's sense ot humor. Arbitrary personal government could hardly express more contempt for popular opinion than Mr. Rooso volt has done in these two oases. To s;vy that ho has blundered is to treat him, witla consideration to which he is haidly'entitlod. He has erred ile liberateiy in these cases, setting his personal friendships above law and above "tho good of the servieo. " Better lawyers than Mr. Roosevelt find ample grounds for action against m Alabama Peruna. Other Prominent State Officials f y V 4 1 i si A ' t f I. ' f ?

Johnston. of tho tinted fa ate. have no perna as an excellent tonic, and it is hesitation in lending their Influence to , . . assist in letting the public know of the merits of Poruna. Nearly one-half the people are in some way affected by catarrh. Therefore It is almost a national curse, and it is of national Import that tho people should know of Poruna. Catarrh is an American disease. Perunala an American remedy. Catarrh is a result of changeable climate, Peruna is a result of long and careful experimentation. Catarrh enters thesystem through the nerve centers and affects the mucou9 membranes. Peruna enables the nerve centers to repel and expel the catarrh from the system. Catarrh is a systemic disease and curable only by systemic treatment. Tho remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This Is what Peruna does. Redeemer of Public Moneys. ?T on. John O. Leftwich, Redeemer of Public Moneys, whose otl'ice Is in the Postofflee Building, in a letter written from Montgomery, Ala., says: "I take pleasure in recommending recommended to me by those who have used It as a good catarrh cure." John C. Leftwich. Register United States Land Office. Hon. Robert Barber, Register United States Land Office, writes from Mont gomery, Ala.: "For some time I have beon a sufferer from catarrh in its incipient stage, so much so that I became depressed auu feared my health was generally in a decline. But hearing of Peruna as a good remedy I gave it a fair trial and began to improve. Its effects were dis tinctly beneficial, removing the annoy ing symptoms, and it was particularly good as a tonic." Robert Barber. Collector of Port. Hon. J. K. Burke, Collector of Port, Mobile, Ala., writes : "Peruna I can recommend as a fine medicine. It has been used in my fam ily and as a tonic it ia excellent. I take pleasure in testifying to its fine quali ties." -J. K. Burko- Postmaster of Mobile. Hon. P. D, Barker, Postmaster of Mobile, In a recent letter from Mobile, Ala., says: "Allow me to send to you my testimonial as to the good qualities of Peruna. I have used it for the past three months and find it is a most excellent tonic." P. D. Barker. U. S. Marshal, Northern District. Hon. Dan Cooper, U. S. Marshal for the Northern District of Alabama, writes: "Your remedy for catarrh and la grippe, Peruna, has done me so much good tiiatl cannot speak too highly of it. "I have used it for a short time and have improved rapidly from the first day. I was really much surprised at such a quick and effective cute." Dan Cooper. U. S. Marshal, Southern District. Hon. L. J. Bryan, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Alabama, writes: "I have used Peruna for catarrh a short time and have also had several friends try it and they all pronounce It thobestcatarrh remedy ever put on the market. It can not be praised too highly." L. J. Bryan.

It should bo homo in mind, however, tliu this extensive advertising comes to the paper be cause of itseirculation. Tho circula tion of Tho Courier is largo and con stantly increasing, for tlio reason, as wo believe, that tho paper takes an uncompromising stand on questions that concern the countyjand tho people and it takes such a stand knowing that it is sure, at times, to oliond in dividual interests and thereby deprive itself of some business. While the people continue to sup port Tho Courier by their subscrip tions advertisers will patronize it lib erally us a matter of business. While some large interests have a great deal of printing done in this county, The Cwurior can nor, hope to secure any part of it for tho reason that this pa per feels itself under obligation to tho people to expose their methods and motives. This is notably tho case with the O. W. P. & Ry. Co. There are few weekly publication in the state with a circulation as large as tho Courier's. This paper will al ways be found in the right place, where the interests of the people are concerned. It looks to tfhe people to staud by it while offended private in terests assail it.
