BROWNELL AND THE LABORING MAN.
Ii Portland the labor organizations
maintain a paper known as the Port
land Labor Press. The isme of the
Labor Press dated March 2, 1906, con
' turned an editorial voicing the opin
ion labor leaders have of George C.
Brownell.. The editorial is re-published
in this issuo ot The Courier.
Labor organizations ct Portland
have representatives in Salem during
every session of the legislature. They
are tin re iu the interests of legislation
that labor believes itself entitled to.
They know that Mr. Brownell is
against thom at every turn iu the road
and the Labor Press doesn't mince
words in paying its corupliinunts to
Mr. Brownell.
This mutter is brought to minci by
Mr. Browuell's new promise, made
in the present campaign, to labor
diligently for a law making eight
hours a dny'8work. For eight years
Mr. Brownell has fooled workmen on
this old giig. In ordor to play his
game real "cunning" and to keep
himself in a position to "line the
boys pp," he introduced his "eight
licur duy" law and the Senate Jour
nal shows that he procured five votes
forjt. Ho olaiins to have great ability
to do things wonderful power in the
legislature. Did his ability fail him?
Aren't those Have votes a rather poor
showing lor so able a mau? Or is it
possible that the senator listoned Jo a
voice other than that of. the laboring
man he proteases to love so woll? Is
there anotliorvoice that is ruusio to
his ears? Was it a sweet, golden
voice hat spoke more convinoiugly
than that of the weary laborer?
You men who hold au indignation
meoting atter the 1903 session of the
legislature! JWhy were you turned
down Jiard? Did .the . man who got
yonr votes, cn the strength of that
written promise really expect to fool
you again? No I By fooling you
once did he expoot to realizes I enough
to buy you next time? Why, cer
tainly. A certain employe of the "Willam
ette" mill, who is also an rdout
Brownell worker, dwells incossantly
on the goodness and kindness of his
bonufuetor. He tells a little story of
come kindness done him. What he
doesn't tell is the faot that Mr. Brow
nell, (who is not on triondly? terms
With (lie railroads) got for a noar rel
ative of his a railroad pass to Los
Angeles and return. It wouldn't do
toj.think that this man, as well "as
those lie can iufiuouoo by a nioo .little
story wof a kind act, wore all pur
chased and the price paid by' the
Southern Pacific Co. at the direction
of the political manipulator and
agont of the Southern Pacitio Co.
No.Jyou won't be fooled, goutlomeu.
But that very warm friend who is
urging you.'asaPEKaONAL.FAVOR,
to vote for this dear friend of the la
boring man just ask him to divide
with you the pnoe of this "porsoual
favor" business. It doesn'tseom just
Tight for a man to sell his own and
hit friend's vote and keep the full
price ofboth. '
WHO PAYS THE TAX?
There is a diversity of opinion as to
who are the taxpayers of this com
monwealth. Thelfarmer pays from
one to throe dollars' per acre for the
amount of cultivable laud he owns
and if he dears np a little more land
lie is taxed from one to three dollars
por acre on that, too. It he paints hia
burn uud repairs his fonre he is taxed
a little more for that also. The cor
porations oouBidortlumiselves a sort
of accommodation tmreau whereja
chance to work is furnished the sous
of toil and they tool that they ought
to be exempt from taxation. But the
plodding laborer who "goes it" from
.daylight to.dark for his $1.75 por day?
Alljoiuiu enumerating among his
many blessings the fact thatjie es
capes; the tax. Now there are really
those .who behove that this landless
man, hard handed and bent with toil,
is cxoinpi from taxation.'
Go into a larjro otv in the early
nioruiivj "f iu tlle lnt0 evening; and
observe what class of mou 1111 the con
ductor's pockets with Bhiuiugnlckels.
Perhaps you will notice that; most of
them carry a dinner pail. But the
lailway company s name is oif the tax
roll not thoir'a Thejtreet railway
pays the tax, doesu tit r
Observe the row that hues up be
fore the oilloe or the house rental
8goucyCabout;the nrst of thonionth.
TliOBe2weary,;oareworn;women a wag
ing the .opportunity to; pny'nuotlter
mouth's rent can t be tne wives -of
the mou iwho carry the diouor pail.
To this rental agency the landlord
will tlia morrow tcTgr.llcr in
his golden harvest. His name, not the
mimes of all these women nor yet
their ' hnsbands, but his name on the
tax roll. He pays the tax, doesn't he?
Just take a look back of first im
pressions. There may be more taxpay
ers than you ever dreamed of.
Some foolish fellow got a notion
that every time an employe of a big
railroad corporation or a telegraph or
telephone company or of moot any big
corporation earned a dollar that went
into his own pocket he earned several
that went into the coffers of the fel
lows he worked tor. As absurd as his
idea might seem he thought it would
be fair to have the tax the money
necessary for the rdnning expenses of
government paid out of the several
dollars be was earning for his em
ployer while he was earning one for
himself.
But that would be in the nature of
the income tax. It is a horrible thing
to think about, lo speak of it is al
most anarchy. And for fear such a
thing might come to pass, wherever
vou can find an agent or hireling ot
big moneyed interests, be sure to do
all in your power to get him a posi
tion where he will have charge of the
peop'e's business. Vote for him when
ever and wherever you get a chauoe.
Do all yon can for these tools of mon
ied interests. These tools are good
fellows all right you' are just doing
them a personal favor. Yon are not
helping the fellows that give them
the money with which they can be
"goodfullows" with you. No, we'll
have a change working along this
lint in another d'jy and another
world.
HUSH-A-BYK, BABY.
Nowadays the schoolhousos and
vilkge halls echo a tearful voioe in
viting pity and sypmathy. The be
loved Clack imas oounty statesman, so
he says, is being abused by the press.
Good, honest. George I Faithful and
true to those who have placed their
trust in him I Sincere aud earnest in
his effort to do something for the
people of Clackamas county I A lov
ing heart big enough to love the
farmer and the laborer and the big
corporations, too. How could the press
say anything against such a sweet,
pure creature 1
The papers have gone into a combi
nation against him, bo he says. Now
that's worse still. And they never
did toll about the great things he has
done in the legislature. They never
would do him justice, he whimpers.
Is the senator afraid the people will
forget how he worken a law through
the legislature unseating our oounty
judge? How he got scared and next
session increased his salary aud put
him back? How he legislated John
Lewelleu off the commissioner's
bouoh? irlow he helped pass a law
penuitting the people to elect their
r d Bup-vrv ors? How it didn't work
to suit him, in a political way, aud
he stood in to repeal it? Now h. sn't
tho sonator been very well satisfied
without the papers dwelling on what
he has done in the legislature doesn't
the publishing of the senator's record
worry him a bit? J
But this is such a good scheme to
get sympathy, Whimper and whine
around, complain that the newspapers
and 'nearly everybody isjricking and
abusing you you have been long
enough before juries to know how tu
win the tender hearted.
If the newspapers have stated sun
thing that is not trne, why not get up
like a man and point it out. This or
any other publication will oorrect any
statoment that may be erroneous.
Abuse of a man seeking office consists
la publishing matter ' regarding him
that is untrue. There is little need
to rosort to such practice in this case
it is an example of the saying that
"truth 1b etrauger than fiction."
T0OZE AND THE $50 CHECK.
The Morning Oregonian was ten
dered a $50 check by Walter h. Toosie
for advertising and refused it. The
groat dailj has accepted money for ad
vertising from other sunrces.'and taken
it iu advanoe; why not from Mr.
Tooze' Is it because S. B. Huston
has a big barrol of money. v We can see
no other reason why the Oregonian
attempts to make political .capital
against Tooze by publishing the pure
taut that, it refused to accept payment
for "future advertising." Looks to
us like a betrayal ",of confidence; cer
tainly not the practice of a metropol
itan shoot; rather rural Wooriburu
Independent. '
The matter was sent in as news.
Tho Oregonian, liko all newspapers,
sells advertising space. Some of them
put;torth garbled facts, misrepresent
ations and untruths for a 'price. The
Orogouian'8 action in ruturuing Mr.
Tooze his $")0 check would indicate
th it it docs not belong in the hitter
clani.
Readers of tho Oregonian pay for
the news. Mr. Toozo fixed the price
or the big ;daily's faithlessness to its
readers at 0. About vhat value
would he place on a congressman s
infidelity to his constituents? Iu
either case it is placing a price on a
breach 'jot trust or an abuse of con
fidence. Tlio packers are now busy proving
that they never told Commissioner
G&rflc!d":.8inglo"word of truth.
HOW WE LOOK AT IT.
Senator Tillman says that ' if the
people will leave babies on his door
step, he is. going to bring them np to
snit his own idea of their destiny.
TTTT
The anti-pass bill got killed in the
house committee. A copy of t'ie" pro
ceeding will be mailed to any rail
road showing a disposition to relent.
There is'one thing to be said. Sen
ator Spooner is showing his junior
from Wisconsin how one should act
whon.he does get up to the pie counter.
IT7
If the ooal and oil toads are wise,
they will tell the interstate commerce
commisison all about it ' and then
claim immunity.
7fT '
Mr. Andrew Carnegie says that mil
lion ai res do not laugh. They must be
mighty solemn people not to smile at
him occasionally.
t?r
Before the seed dealers can stop
congressmen from distributing seed,
they will have to show the honorable
gentlemen some other method that is
equally good.
iririr
The senate having gotten through
with the Philippine bill will cheer
fully manufacture some other equally
horrible examples.

Arizona .celebrated the statehood
victory vociferously, but nobody was

Porto Rico Jadraits that its present
government is pretty decent, bo it is
loudly demanding a change to auton
omy. tTf
In view "of the satisfactory wjay
London Jlias worried'along for a year
withoutin American consul, it might
be economy to abolish the job alto
gether. It is said that plaster of Paris is
largely used in adulterating wheat
flour. This may be the cause for the
wide reputation of bread as a foo
that "stays by you. "
Gold dust it is claimed has been
found under Broadway, New SJork.
It is probably only the waste from
some of the gold bricks that are made
and sold there.
" Representative Lloyd's bill limiting
fortunes to ten million dollars would
be more popular if it provided that no
man's fortune should be less than that
amount.

Eminent Doctors Praise its Ingredients.
We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Pr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
of Thk Eclectic Medical Review says
of Unicorn root (HeUmUit Dloica) which
Is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa
vorite Prescription" :
"A remedy which Invariably acts as a tCT
Ine lnvliforator makes for normal ac
tivity of the entire reproductive system."
He continues " In llelonias we have a medica
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug with which I am
acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe
culiar to women It is seldom that a case is
seen which does not present some Indication
for this remedial agent," Dr "yfo further
says: "The following are amc the leading
Indications for Helonlas (Unicoiv root). Tain
or aching in tho back, with eucorrhoea;
atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive
ortrans ot women, nientnl deprewfon and ir
ritability, associated with chronic diseases of
tho reproductive organs of women, constant
sensation of heat in the region of the kid
neys; Menorrhagia (Hooding), due to a weak
ened condition of the reproductive system:
amcnorrlura (suppressed or absent monthly
periods), arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and amende (thin blood) habit: dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part of the
abdomen."
If more or less of tho above symptoms
are present, no Invalid woman can do
better than tako Dr. Pierce's Favorlto
Prescription, one of the leading ingredi
ents of which Is Unicorn root, or llelonias,
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
Of llolileu Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,"
Prof. Plnley Ellingwood, M. D., of Den
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
' It Is au Important remedy In disorders of
the wymlv In all catarrhal conditions
and general etifeobleuient. It Is useful."
Prof.' John M . Semldor, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root :
"In relation to its general effects on the
sysuru. then I no niriiiVinf in ue attnit u huh
tlurt U mch general iinuumity o opinion. It
Is utifivraiilly regarded as the, tonic useful in
ail debilitated states."
Prof. Hartholow, M. D.. of Jofferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal :
"Valuable In uterino hemorrhage, menor
rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor
rhea (painful menstruation)."
" Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith
fully represents all the above named in
greUlenU and cures the diseases fur which
they are recommcrded.
POINTERS FOR LEGISLATORS.
Portraying the Way It's Done In
Salem.
The foxy "friend of labor" who is
now a candidate for a fouith term in
the statu senate and who says he is
especially well fitted lor the job be
cause he "knows how things are
done' was president of the senate in
1903. At that sessoin the following
labor bills, and as many more, were
up for consideiation. , Mr. Brownell,
as president ot the senate, appointed
John L. Rand chairman of the com
mittee to which all such bills are re
ferred. Of course he had no agreement
with he large employers of labor, the
railroad companies being the ' largest.
is to who he should appoint ohairman
oi hub committee.
Qlanoe over the following, publish
ed by the Portland Labor Press, just
as it appears in the Senate Journal,
and you will also know something
about ''howthings are done. " Legis
lation that the railroads didn't want
but that the people did want has al
ways been handled in the same way,
except the chairman of the railroad
committee, who was for eight years
Geo. O. Brownell, usually put the
bills in his pocket and. didn't bother
about reporting them at all. He
feLows all too well "how things ara
done at Salem."

As Labor Sees Him.
The people of Clackamas cduntr are
unitiug their efforts tojlefeat George
O.. Brownell, who is a candidate for
the nomination of state sonator from
that county. As has been the habit of
Brownell, he has promised everything,
and if elected, will do as he usually
does, deliver nothing. There never
hsa been a man in state politics who
has promised as much iand done as
little as Hrownell. He gets ou the
popular side of everything, "stands
in" with everything and has an ex
cuse for everything that ha did con
trary to his promises. There is an in
dictment hanging over his head as a
party defrauding the government.
He Jplays the game of politics
witli "marked cards" and is a cor
ruptionist of the deepest dye. Oregon
has been too long cursed by such law
makers as Brownell. In these days of
accounting it is best to kill the worm
that h-.s injected his poison' into the
ee of state. If Clackamas cou. ty
does her duty she will spray her po
litical trees, which will be the undo
ing of George C. Brownell. Portland
