CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
In the light of the revolutions con
cerning the business methods of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
in which it was shown that for the
last three presidential years that com
pany has contributed $5O,0G0 each
time tothe Kepblicau campaign fund,
the claim of Alton B.JParker tliat the
trusts were electing the Republican
ticket begins to acquire an appoar
ance'.of truth. The fact is that aftor
every campaign the managers of .the
campaign should be compelled to
make a public statoinont of the funds
thoy have expended, where tlioy came
from mid what they were sent for.
This .idea was advocated by "Judge
Parker on tho stump and President
Roosevelt, who is always quick to un
derstand a good tiling. recommouded it
to congress. Some diiy.it is to be hoped
this country will adopt as drastic leg
islation hh the anti -corruption act of
Great Britain nnd not until then will
we have clean elections or ho certain
that tho mini olootod is tho real choice
of tho people. In Groat Britain, and
wo bolievo this is tree of Canada, evi
dence that money lias boon expendod
improperly to socuro tho olectioa of
a candidate for public ofiice renders
invalid his title to that oilice and
makes him ineligible ever to hold
another pnblio office. The roiuody is
drastic, it is true, but it was devised
to deal with conditions which would
yield to no remedy less drastic, and it
has aoeomplishodtho object for which
it was enacted.
Elihu Root, now secretary of state,
once prepared a hill which was intro
duced in the Albany legislature pro
viding that all campaign contribu
tions should be made public and whilo
it did not go nearly far enough it was
far too good to bo passed by the gang
which rnloB Now York politios.
What should become of Odellism and
of the renowned Channcoy Depow if
the Ilarrimau interests and tho New
York Central were obliged to make
public I lie amount they spend to con
trol state politics and keep a personal
roproHeutativo on the floor of tho sou
ato. ONE LEFT IN CONGRESS.
Congressman Williamson has fol
lowed Sonntor Mitchell to a political
grave. When Bingor Hermann joins
them Senator Fulton alone will re
main of tho quartot that Oregon chose
to represent her at Washington.
For the disgrace that these men
have brought upon onr 'state, for the
bTiuUow thoy have cast over her fair
name, tho poople have themselves to
blame. They were the head of a cor
rupt political machine. In every
county in the state this machine was
represented by a coterie of men as
ohnraoterloss "and as irresponsible as
they themselves. It cannot be said
that the pooplo were ignorant of the
existing conditions. They had per
sonal matters on hand publio affairs
wore left to take caro of themselves.
It has just come to light how well
nnblio aftairs will take care of them
selves if let alone by men who are fit
to look after them.
Now is the time that Oregon should
be going abend by leaps and bounds.
Sho has ikYoiio in Washington to take
caro of her irrigation schemes; no one
to look af tor her rivers aud harbors ;
no one to protect her forests; no one
to advance her commercial possibili
ties with tho Orient. These should
be times of unprecedented prosperity
in the West.
Let it be understood that this dis
credited gang is yet struggling to keep
a hold 011 tho publio that has fed it
for many years. Tho public, it is to
l3 hoped, will lose no opportunity to
to root it out, body and branch.
THAT LOVE PLAST.
Ropnhlicaus from all over Oregon
meet n .Portland the .lt3th of this
month iu a so-called harmony moot
ing. The ostensible purpose is to
oiiito contending factions in order
that a Republican victory may bo in
sured for liostJJuno.
There "have boon factional fights in
the party for many years past. Strange
there has never boon u liarmonymeot
ing before, isn't it? Whilo John II.
Mitchell aud his boodhug gang Jworo
ridiug rampant over the nocks ot Jop
poneutsi;who stood on the ground ;f
honor aud probity in publio affairs,
we hoard nothing of Baker's call for
a harmony meeting. It is safe to as
snme now, in the light of what has
gouo before, that harmony is the one
thing furthost from Chairman Baker's
mind in calling the meeting.
The direct primary is what is fret
ing Mr. Baker. If not taken care of,
it is liable to permit the nomination
and election of men to public office
who will have no string of a machine
or boss on thom. This would he an
unspeakable calamity, according to the
way of thinking of the Baker school
of politics. Think of a public officer
perfectly free to do the will of the
pjoplo. It is preposterons. The very
thought will cause the political shades
of Mitchell and Williamson aud Her
mann to riso in indignation.
Means must be dovised to perpetuate
the boss aud the political machine.
Knavery and chicanery love to sail
under a fair name. Nowouder this
plotting and planning is carried on
under the guise of a harmony meet
ing. EXCHANGE TALK
As It Is At Present.
With the memory of a very recent
anti-railroad fight that commanded the
centerol tho stage for several years in
this state, the following complaint
from President Finney iu his annual
report of the Missouri, Kansas &
Toxas, is rather interesting :
"Atteuiton may uot improperly be
invited to tho wave of political agita
tion directed agaiiiBt the railways in
the past year, which has found expres
sion in some very drastio legislation
in Kansas and Missouri, enlarging the
powers of the trailway commissioners
of those states and practically placing
in tho hands of these bodies the rate
making power within their limits.
Similar agitation is spreading into
Oklahoma Territory; and should it re
sult in rate legislation there in tho
near future, practically the whole of
the territory covered by your railway
syBtom will be subject to restrictive
control by political bodies. Just what
the effect of such situation will be
cannot now ho clearly forseon, but it
can hardly "fail to prove detrimental
to the property, as it is practically sur
rendering to the patrons of the rail
way the power to fix the compensation
for service reudored. An indication
of the general antagonism to the rail
ways throughout this section is
afforded by the increase of claims filed
against your company. The total
numbor during the year amounted to
9009, a- large number of which are
frivolous and would not be tolerated
in a more conservative community. "
Mr. Finney nudoubtedy points out
the danger iof the situation very
clearly when he says it "is practically
surrendering to the patrons of the
railway the power to fix the compen
sation for service rendered," but he
fails to explain that if such patrons
fix an unreasonable rata tho law under
which the rate was fixed would not be
valid if it did not give to the railroad
the right to have .the rates reviowod
by the courts in order that their rea
sonableness could bo ascertained.
While the last legislature of Wash
ington passod what was claimed to be
a drastio commission law, and whilo
prior to tho enactment of that law and
the appointment of a commission
there wDre numerous grievances
claimed against the railroads, the re
sult of that law lias been that, ;as yet,
thero has been no complaint by tho
railroads ot unfair treatment, and
thero soomod to be few complaints
liled by the patrons of the railway.
This may be due to the claim that
the railways in Washington are en
deavoring to give the lowest rates
compatible witli good service, or it
may he that the whole thing was a
nightmare on the part of the railroads
prior to the enactment of the law. At
any rate thore is "nothing doing" at
present in the matter of "restrictive
ooutrol by political bodies," so far as
the plain people can observe, in the
state of Washington. -Seattle Daily
Times.
Leaders Have Been Called.
Tho Statesman, referring tn the love
feast, may "question the right of the
Independent to say that those Repub
licans who favor this convention are
opposed to the carrying out in its full
est extent tho direct primary law,"
but we consider it onr prerogative to
advance sooh au 'opiniou. Everybody
kuowsthat Frauk,Baker and his crowd
will endeavor to make the direct pri
mary a failure. Their words and
actions are sufficient proof to this
etl'oot. The Statesman's course also
denotes a loaning that way. That
paper desires a strong Republican or
ganization through the selection of
central committees composed of clique
povs. Our contemporary desires tho
elimination of .party strife, but such
a conference ot political hacks and
hawks will simply make tho rank and
tllo tired and naturally aid iu widen
ing the breiH'h. The "leaders" have
been called together. For heaven's
sake, for oueo in the history of the
Republican party, let there bo given
due recognition to tho common peo
ple, who, as well as tho so-called
"leaders," will do some tall thinking
and voting. A call by State Chairman
Baker fur a conference aftor the pri
maries won Id have had somo horse
sense in it. Tho call for ouo in Oc
tober smacks very much of an exist
ence of a gnawing rut. Woodburu
Iudopoudout.
The Portland ring evidently wants
to dietato the Republican nominee for
congressman ot this district. Under
the direct, primary law perhaps it
cannot do anything of tho kind. Tho
people will take a hand in affairs.
Alhnnv Democrat.
The real meaning of the word "har
mony" will probably be bettor under
stood after Brother Baker has his big
Republican round-up at Portland next
month.
Senator Fnltoif is opposed to tho di
rect primary law, but ho is not say
ing much about it just now. New

FRANCHISE DEFEATED AT POLLS.
Majority of 118 Votes Recorded Against
Measure By People.
By a vote of 812 to 193 the voters of
Oregon City gavo expression 10 their
opinion on the proposed franchise of
the Oregon Wator Pow.t & Railway
Company, a majority of 118 votes
against the measure.
Saturday's election was the liveliest
one seen in Oregon City for a long
time, and while only 505 votes were
cast, the fact that the result is not le
gally binding on the members of the
council, couplod with the fact that
many residents take little or no inter
est in street railway matters, scenes
about thej)olls were very interesting,
horn sides doing consiaeraDie wort to
influence voters. -
BENEFIT TO MANKIND
One of the Greatest Discoveries of the
Nineteenth Century.
There is nothing in the way of a
discovery in the nineteenth century
that has proved of greater benefit to
mankind than that ot two eminent
French chemists, Morgues and Gau
tier by name, who discovered a way
to separate the medicinal curative
elements, of which there are about
fifty different kinds in the cod's liver
from the oil aud give to modern med
icine all the tonic, body-building
and curative properties of that grand
old remedy, cod liver oil, unencumb
ered by the oily, greasy part, which
science had proved of no value what
ever, either as a food or medicine.
Thus they produced Vinol.
Vinol is guaranteed to contain in a
highly concentrated form-all tue med
icinal elements of cod liver oil, ac
tually taken from fresh cods' livers,
and wherever old fashioned cod liver
oil or emulsions will do good, Vinol
will do far more good for being with
out oil, it is delicious to the taste,
easily assimilated and won't upset
the weakest stomach.
Vinol tones up the digestive organs,
creates a hearty appetite, makes rich,
red blood and creates strength for old
people, weak women,, puny children
and after sickness, and for all pul
monary troubles it has uo equal.
So strong is our faith in Vinol that
we freely offer to return money in
every case whore it tails to give satis
faction. Huntley Bros. Co., Drug
