U tliis notice l marked jour sutw.iiiitioii In due GRAFTER AND SCOUNDREL BY CONFESSION. The Board of Trade says in Its reso lution: "For some reason, best known to themselves, the publishers of the local papers of the town have failed or neglected to print the news in a full and fair manner." This is untrue but just stupidly untrue a resolution passed by men who had only a child-like conception of their responsibility, and not even a child's disposition to stick to facts. The Hoard intended no malice. But the Oregonlan! The sneaking insinuation of that sheet, malicious and unwarranted, calls for passing notice the notice that vile, disgust ing tilings claim. The Portland Jour nal charged the editor of the Oregon lan with stealing part of the soldiers' monument fund. The Oregonlan edi tor, treed, and reason giving place to wrath, belches forth: "Nobody but one who himself is a thief and scoundrel would Intimate such a thing." Lot the editor of The Oregonlan ap ply his own reasoning, when he inti mates, without foundation or fact, that the local papers have failed to give the news respecting a certain matter, for a consideration. By his own words, he admits that The Oregonlan, in so far as he controls it, suppresses news for a price. Lftt the editor remember his own words: "Nobody but one who himself Is a thief and scoundrel would intimate such a thing. Ho who does it shows what he would do himself." The local papers, as a matter of fact, devoted columns when the Ore gonlan gave inches to news regarding the franchise fight. The local papers gave the news accurately, fairly and fully. But the editor of the Orogonian reads a fnlso report to the contrary. "Graft," is the first thing he thinks of and ho promptly charges it. without taking the trouble to ascertain the "Nobody but one who himself is a thief and scoundrel would intimate such a thing. lie who does it shows whut ho would do himsolf." A WORD TO THE WISE. The Board of Trade has gone out of its way to laud the Oregonlan and to censure the local papers for the stand taken in the recent franchise light. The Courier did not take up this Question editorially. It's reason for not doing so was stated fully when the contest was at its height. The reason was, in substance, that the Courier, through constant attacks, had shown bitter hostility to the Ore gon Water Power & Railway Com pany, and what it might say, would seem to he inspired by prejudice. The Courier did not care to air itself or vent its feelings by hitter invective and Intemperate abuso. It wished to defeat the franchise at the polls when the matter was submitted to the peo ple, and to that end threw open Its columns freely to those Interested, that thoy might state their case and the reasons for their opposition, to the voting public. In a single issuu of The Courier, communications In opposition to the franchise covered nearly half a page. This was at a time when things needed to be done In ordor to dofeat the franchise. On the day the counoll granted the franchise, the Oregonlan, for the first time, opened up Its guns. It came In with a howl and a whistle at the elev enth hour, having said never a word when Its word might have been of 3ome effect, and the Board of Trade admires, commends, and spills over Its gush of hog-wash,! 1 Such rot! Such stupidity! The Courier has printed tho news, and everv bit of It, regarding this mat ter. Mad it bolleved its readers In gen eral so easily duped by a great hur rah intended to accomplish nothing, as the Board of Trade seems to have been, It might have taken that dubious mothod of winning their commonda tlon it might, hut would not have done so. Wo aro not playing to the galleries. We aro attempting to publish the best newspaper that Clackamas County ever had. Tho recording of nearly 100 now subscribers in October en courages us in tho belief that wo are meeting with some success In our at tempt. ; There Is plenty of work for the Beard of Trado to do. When It gets off on this sort of thing it lessons its ability to accomplish anything lor me public Interest. Let tho Board ge down to business. SUGGESTED BY EASTERN ELEC TIONS. As In Oregon, they prefer a Repub lican administration In Ohio, until con ditions become almost unendurable because of corruption in office. There, as here, they elect enough Democrats to hold In chock official rascality. When a party Is tried and found want ing, why not turn it out boldly to give it an opportunity for working an In ward reformation? The dominant party in Ohio Is rot ten to tho core. Us United States sen ators represent, first, the corporations with which they aro connected, and as a second and unimportant consid eration, they represent the people of Ohio. From the inner circle of cor porate wealth the rank and file of the party is manipulated by means of sleek, oily, contriving, local bosses. It is a gigantic political machine, the running expenses of which are defray ed, in the first instance, by a coterie of wealthy capitalists, but in the end by the taxpayers 'of the state. The same may be said for the State of Oregon. The trial of one of our Senators disclosed the fact that he received a salary of 500 per month from a single corporation, the South ern Pacific Company. Fve hundred dollars a month for what? For being a good senator for the people, of course! When this condition infests the head of the party in this state, what is the use trying to select fit officials or faithful public servants from such a mess? Why not turn to a party, for we must always have political parties, why not turn to a party that is free from taint or blemish? Next Spring a goodly supply of gold will pour into Clackamas County to play its magnetic part in the inter est of men seeking to become so-called public servants. It will be spent in the interest of men who play hand In glove with wealthy corpodations. Whose money is it? It is the money squeezed out of you, Mr. Citizen, by means so deft and indirect that you never knew whence the squeeze came. No one is so old that he may not learn no one is so young that he may not understand that no ultimate good can come from evil means and cor rupt methods. A knave serves nobody well but himself. You have no right to inflict such a one on the public, thinking that in so doing, you further your interests.' Will you require that every seeker after public office possess character, honor and ability fitting liim for the place to which he aspires? Will you require that he be his own man and not somebody else's man? If you find no such one in your party, will you seek him in another? If you will, you are the independent voter! The independent voter has saved Ohio In her plight of abandon and cor ruption. He has come to the rescue of Pennsylvania in her unenviable plight. Will he snatch Oregon from the clutches of the vultures that are prey ing upon her? These are the things to think about now and to keep In mind next June. Lest you forget, the Courier will oc casionally remind you of them. ! Mayor Sommer's action in vetoing the O. W. P. Ry. franchise ordinance seems to meet with general approba tion. His Honor gave the matter care fid consideration, and did just what a majority of the voters of Oregon City desired. The will of the people has evidently been a huge factor in this particular instance. PROGRAM OF SCHUMANNS. Evening of Music With Grieg By Sing ing Society.

Mr. Heideman is one of the successful ranchers of the Abornethy valley who has been going it alone in life some years long, er than most ranchers do.

The party re mained here 30 minutes and its mem bers took a walk about the city, out on the suspension bridge, and enjoyed themselves informally. Attorney J. E.

Linn at Linn's mill, on the Abernathy river, about eight miles from this city, was completely destroyed by fire. The fire occurred early In the morning and It Is not known how It originated. The house was a new two-story cottage and was valued at about $2,000. Scarcely anything was saved from the contents. There was no insurance. Mr. Linn formerly lived at Oregon City and is a son of B. F. Linn of this place. Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache, giddiness and drowsiness, w ind iuul pain or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold chills and llushings of heat, short ness of breath these aro the blank cheques of physical bankruptcy.
