SUBSIDIZED PRESS.
It is to be regretted that a consider
able part of the press is shackled ;
that its discussion of matters of
public interest is affected by improper
influences , that business policy pros
trates it, too often, at the feet of the
xnoney power.
But the reading public does its fall
. share toward the enslavement of the
press. Laying aside general asser
tions, let ns particularize.
The following of a certain candidate
for state semi tor irDin this county is
made np, to a very large extent, of
persons who have received a servioe
for which no compensation was ex
acted. Tins following seems to sen
nothing wrong in now paying for this
service with a' vote. Strange as it
may seem, these persons would take.it
as an insult (some of thenn, to be
offered $3 for their vote.
But does this candidate make his
living out of this gratuitous service?
No? How then? Oh, ho gets a steady
salary from veral railroads. They
keep In in going between sessions of
the legislature, and then, yon know,
he getg about $150 at each session of
the legislature. But wlmtjdo the rail
roads pay him for? They employ
other lawyers to attend to their legal
business. Oh, the railroads want
him in the legislature to help pass the
laws the farmers want. If the rail
roads furnish him plenty of nioiey,
(it's Just a salary, you know), he
won't need to charge for his legal ser
vices lie can just exchange these ser
vices for votes. That is not buying
your vote no, no, it's so different
from that different in so many wayB
just think about it and you will
realize how different it is.
Well, who got your vote on that
doal? Did the railroads got it? The
railroads paid out the cash that you
didn't pay for that service. - But you
don't see how the big corporations get
. all tlioir speoial privileges and favor
able discriminations. You didn't
vote to furt'ior this condition-Mill,
no! Yon voted for a big-souled fellow
who, scarcely knowing who you were,
did yon a service worth $20 rOR
NOTHING.
The game is ivoi'kod on the farmer,
on tho labprer, on the business man.
It is worked on all those who are too
stupiu to see through it or who are
too dishonest to want to see through
. i4'
Iho newspaper starts in on the side
ot the common people on the side of
the people who live by hard knocks,
lots of thorn and little luxury. The
demagogue comes along, the corpora
lion mroiing, ana wiine tne paper is
fighting tho unrighteous purposes of
iniquitous corporations the people are
indirectly aocepting the corporation's
bribes, are giving the corporation
agent and hireling power to do all
that his master, the corporation, re
quires of him, and are, in reality,
hastening political liberty and the
right of suffrage for a little gold.
The readers of a newspaper make its
charactor. No newspapor v ill moral
ize an immoral oommnuity. j When a
paper's patrons approve this political
degeneracy it is straugo, indeed, it
the paper docs not descoud to their
level. Then it is that it joins the
rauks of tho subsidized press.
The coming primary is a supreme
occasion for Clackamas county. Will
njpolitical parties participating in
Hnominato only decent, fit iuon for
public oilice or will they nomiuato
the tools of largo btiBinesB interests.
We Bliall see whether we are, as a po
litical body, men of ordinary intelli
gence or merely tho dupes and play
thiiiKsif organized wealih.
A GOOD RECORD.
Governor Chamberlain is going to
ask for an, endorsement of his past ad
luiniMration. ),e ims ,10 m1((lo Kn
ejlu'ientolllcer, it he has not boeu an
abhy courageous"" and energetic ov
ernur letthe lu'otilo of Oregon, ,y the
ballot, tay as much nextJ uno"aml
Governor Chamberlain will retire
1 rem tlie.liead ol hIiiIo m t if jus huhit
ualfgraco and becoming dignity.
IMho people wanted honesty and
"llicieiicy' in ofllco they have had tlioir
dTmro7ntlio cilice of tl in BtTito'siiTt' f
executive.,. No i,eriticiMu, lias Jbvvii
heard ; nor a shadow of suspicion ;haa
hung over this high place, while
guilty as charged" is tho brand that
a jury of twelve lionet men lias
placed upon one after another of Ore
gon's prominent public servants. .
Of late years the political sky of our
country lias" been black and threaten
ing and out of itsjlarkuess has come a
foreboding of political debauchery,
public calamity and a revel- of high
handed robbery and.unlversal corrup.
tion. In places the dread has become
a reality. But here and there a kindly
star has shown itself, a ray of hope
and cheer to the multitude that loves
honesty, "mon lity aud.high purpose in
public affairs. In Missouri that btar
has been Folk j in New York, Jerome;
LaFollette in Wisconsin, and in Ore
gon. George E. Chamberlain."
Would New York give up her Jer
ome? In the face of machines, bosses
find political combinations the people
with a single voice called him into
co itinued seivice, ' Would the people
forsake Folk or LaFollette? Not while
the people love manliness, courage,
honesty and efficiency in fiose wtiora
they honor with' high places. Would
the people of Oregon renounce Cham
ber la' nr Not on the strength of a
senseless party cry. ' Not for a return
to the old 85 stem of official loot and
pillage. Not for any seductive bait
that contriving political manipulators
may cast before them.
The record that is complete and
faultless will receive a splendid com
mendation next June. It will be no
triumph of a man. Principle, honesty
and official probity will gain the vic
tory over chicanpry and political
trickery.
CANDIDATES WHO RIDE.
Several Valley papers defoud Mr.
Tooze for riding on a lass by saying
that Mr. Hawley, also an aspirant to
congressional honor, has free trans
portation. If this is true of Mr.
Hawley it is up to him to give a sat
isfactory explanation. A pass fur
nished candidates because of the pos
sibility of their coming into a posi
tion where their official acts may
greatly affect railroad interests is a
bribe pure and si tiply a bribe. A
man accepting a pass under such con
ditions takes a bribe. If a man does
such a thing without knowing that
he is being bribed he , hasn't enough
sense to be a congressman. If lie
does know that he is being bribed he
is certainly too dishonest for any
official position.
No one should understand Hub to
charge Mr. Hawley with being under
obligation to' the railroads. He ha1.
plenty of time to clear the matter up.
The Courier expects of him and the
people should require of him a square,
open statement on this point. .
The Courier did charge Mr. Tooze
with riding on a pass. It stand s ready
to folly prove the assertion if Mr.
Tooze cares "to rleiiy it. Mr. Tooze
denied, iu a letter published f t
his request in The Courier, that
he was unfriendly to the Grange
tax measura, This Grange tax law
strikes at the pocketbooks of the very
men who own the railroads.; Does he
wish us to believe that he
la nnintv fn
receive favors from tue
railroads in
the way of transportation and politi
oal support if he is a friend of the 1
measures they Bpend money to defeat?
This is "too thin."
Mr. Tooze admits, by his silence,
that he recoives favors from the rail
roads. He should hnve the support of
those who thin t we nood these rail
road congres uen.
Mr. Huston says he pays liia .fare.
We have not heard a charge to the
ooatrary against Mr. Huston. Now
lets hear from Mr. Hawley, and we
will have thsso follows sized up from
one standpoint.
HENRY STEVENS ACCEPTS.
Milwaukie Man Consents to Become

NO CLUE TO BURGLARS.
Police Are In Dark As to Identify of
Night Robbers.
No clue has been obtained by, the
police that will lead to the positive
identity of the men . who burglarized
the st.res ol Urown Welsn and U.
W. Fredreioh, on, the, hill last , Friday
night. Both places were entered from
the rear, a panel being taken from the
door by means or a pocket Unite, in
the hardware store the robbers were
unable to open . the till, but at the
meat market they secured about. $5.
It is generally believed that the per
petrators cf the crime are the same
men who robbed four, down town busi
ness houses, several weeks ago.
Mr. Mack, who lives near Mountain
View , cemetery,, had an encounter
about. two weeks ago with three men,
who managed to escape; leaving ''their
identity concealed. ! Mack rose early
one morning and went out to a shed
to heat some water, intending to butch
er some hugs. He heard a nois" out
side and seeing a man standing alone
in the yard, he picked np a shovel
handle and went after him.- The man
cried for help and his two companions
came to his aid, knocking Mack in
sensible. ' The authorities are working
on the case.

MISS JULIA MARLOWE
Heartily Approves of Peru na For the Nerves.
ooooo-o
IN a recent letter to The Peruna Medi
cine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe, of New
York Citv, writes the following : '
"lam glad to write my endorse
ment of the great remedy, Peruna,
as a nerve tonic. I do so most
heartily." Julia Marlowe.
Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers.' The nerve canters are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want of
proper nutrition. ,. . ,
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring a host ot in valids
are produced as tho direct result of weak
nerves, . ' 1
This can be easily obviated by nsing
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
diflioulty by correcting the digestion.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women.especially those who have voca
tions that are trying to tho nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands of testimonials from,
women in all parts of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without an equal as a nerve
tonic and a vital invigorator.
