SHALL THE PEOPLE OR THE
PRESIDENTELECT?
There are many Indications that
American citzenship is losing Its most
marked characteristic independence
of thought and action. In the early
days of the Republic we claimed a
representative form of government,
and our representatives were in fact
elected by the people. Our costitu
tion guarantees every state a repre
sentative form of government and yet
public expressions of prominent men
indicate how lightly is esteemed, in
present times, this constitutional
guarantee.
Says Ira E. Bennett, writing in the
August issue of the Pacific Monthly:
"With Taft strongly in the lead, the
astute politician of the White House
(Roosevelt) may forsee that delega
tions would "tumble over themselves
to get into the band wagon" in the ex
pressive phraseology of politics. One
Incident which tends to confirm this
suggestion is the unanimity with
which Republican state conventions in
dorse the President's record and his
policies. Having done this much, are
they consisting in presenting their
favorite eons who may not be in sym
pathy with such policies. ARE THEY
NOT MORALLY AND POLITICALLY
BOUND TO SWING TO THE SUP
PORT OF THE MAN RECOMMEND
ED BY ROOSEVELT HIMSELF IF
THEIR PRETENSIONS ARE GEN
UINE?"
Tf these conventions believed the
President's record good and his pol
icles right, to be sure they should In
dorse them. But let us ask Mr. Ben
nett: Does the fact that Mr .Roose
velt has made a good pretiidont obli
gate the neonle to retain him of
fice during his natural life? To say
that he should be permitted to name
the president succeeding him implies
this very thing. Ana in lact, ir ne is
entitled to hamo his immediate suc
cessor there Is no good reason why he
should not name all the presidents
who come after him during his life.
Let us ask Mr. Bennett if he considers
it a duty of eighty millions of Ameri
cans to stifle their porsonal opinions
in order that the opinion of one man
should prevail in settlement of the
question of who might most appro
priately Bit at the head of the Nation?
The action of the President in man
ipulating the Govermental machinery
and in taking advantage in every con
ceivable way of the power and au
thority vested in him as President of
the United States in order to continue
himself in actual though not in formal
control of the office of -chief execu
tive has no precedent in American
history. European history, however,
is not wanting in similar examples.
Our county may now be paus
ing through a period of commercial
development in which it will acquiesce
in a course mapped out by personal
ambition. The citizenship of twenty
years ago would not have submitted
and neither will the citizenship of
twenty years hence submit. As to
now, it is difficult to understand the
little concern evinced by the average
citizen in his personal rights and
privileges.
But those who assume to know may
have formed an incorrect estimate of
the men of our time. It may transpire
that Mr. Taft's certificate of "qualifi
cations" handed him by the President
will not be accepted by the people
without a little consideration. The
people may be so Impudent as to as
Bume to inquire what fitness this as
pirant has ever shown for the high
office. They may want to know what
Indorsement he has ever had from the
public for any official position. Labor
may even have the audacity to in
quire as to how it fared at his hands
while he sat In a judicial capacity.
After all, the great American people
may take a notion to Bay something
in this matter and even possibly to
do something,
A TIP FOR OREGON CITY.
The way to build up a city Is for
its people to have absolute faith In
its future and show that faith in their
works. Eugene Is fast becoming an
illustration of this idea. The knock
ers, who were so numerous not more
than a year ago, have either emigrat
ed or have the good sense to keep
quiet now. Eevrybody is talking about
the city's advancement and as a
consequence growth Is apparent on
every Bide. Street paving means that
the property owners expect Eugene
to become a real city, and are willing
to back their faith by expending mon
ey in permanent improvements.
A good step cityward has been
made in the past twelvo months, but
there should be no cessation In the
work. The man who has nuule or is
making money here should Invest it
in the city; those who are not able to
. put up buildings and aid commendable
enterprises in a financial way should
bo boomers to the best of their abili
ty. Talking of the right kind helps a
town and talk Is- proverbially cheap.
Eugene is soon to have paved
streets and electric ears and a fine
new depot and railroad yards at the
foot of Willamette street. liy the
time these improvements are complet
ed there should bo a cement sidewalk
the entire length of the street, widen
ed out to the pavement curb. That will
make our main business thoroughfare

RINGLING BROS. AT PORTLAND,
World's Greatest Show
There on August
to Exhibit
26-27.
On August 20 and 27 the people of
this vicinity will have an opportunity
of attending Rlngllng Brothers' circus
at Portland and it is probable that
many will go from this place, as this
splendid organization Is far beter than
ever before, being made up almost en
tirely of European performers new to
America.
The equipment of the circus Is all
brand new, and over a million dollars
was spent in adding novel feautres.
The greaetst prade ever presented
will take place in the forenoon. In it
will be 1,204 men, women and children,
(158 horses, nine herds of elephants
and three miles of hand-carved gold
en chariots, floats and dens, and gor
geous spectacular attractions
Space will permit of only brief men

presented in a tent twice as big as
that of any other circus The RIcco-

trousers. One sits in a chair and
reads a paper; when the clock strikes
ten he lights a candle, goes to his
bed, removes his clothes, even to his
ponderous boots, blows the candle out
and retires. Last Winter people went
from all over Europe to Paris to see
the act.

Hi GRILLS DETECTIVES
Prominent Socialist Asserts
That Pinkertons Are
Responsible For
Labor Trouble.
OREGON CITY, Or., Aug 7. (Ed
itor of The Courier.) The editor of
the Oregonlan seems to be in a bad
way since the Haywood verdict and
says that there was a conspiracy and
Orchard was not alone in the murder
of Steunenberg. He was lurnisnea
funds by some one. Yes, and II you
remember the evidence, he was a
Pinkerton detective, and the business
of the detectives is to make business.
Now, Mr. Scott, do you remember
some of your editorials on the de
tective business last Winter, where
you gave the force a slap in Portland.
Maybe I just did not understand you.
Perhaps you were slapping Mayor
Lane over the detectives' shoulders.
Mayor Lane was not your ox, but
Gooding Js, so you think McPartland,
Orchard, et al., truthful gentlemen.
Say, you Just put Orchard on the
scaffold with a rope around his neck
and you will find out who has been
furnishing him money; also, who
knew about all of his crimes, but you
know, and I don't believe the officers
of the State of Idaho will dare hang
him. The detective apVncies have
made a good round sum of money out
of this business and as long as the
taxpayers of Idaho are willing, they
will be making business for the agen
cies. If Orchard was a detective (and
he is) is not the agency that employed
him an accessory to the crimes he
committed? The question with the
people now is whether the Pinkerton
agency that hired Orchard to the
mine owners to be a union man and
then to be a traitor to the union and
advise murder and commit the act
himself, if at the Instigation of the
union, (which fact tlfty did not prove)
why are not the Pinkertons equally
guilty with the union? Did not Or
chard by his own testimony say that
he made the offer to do the work?
Now, is it not plain that if he did, the
agency knew what he was doing, and
that he was put there under instruc
tions? If he could not incite others
to commit crime, he was to do so
himself as a union man .
There has been a good many bad
acts laid at the doors of the unions.
We are of the opinion the more law
less the unions are the better the
capital class would like it, and, on
the other hand, the more law abiding
the better for the officers of the
union, and wherever there is likely
to be a strike or a union organized
there you will find the Pinkerton In
evidence, advising unlawful acts.
The time will yet come when a
private detective agency will be look
ed upon as one of the worst evils in
our body politic, and will of necessity
have to be supplanted with Govern
ment detectives on salary without re
ward other than their salary and good
name.
As poor a man as I am, I would
cheerfully give $500 to know the ex
act truth and that all the people knew
the truth la connection with the
trouble leading up to the murder of
Stuenenberg.
The Oregonlan seems to regret that
the Socialists take such an active part
in the defense. Why shouldn't we?
This is a war between capital and
labor. You can always find the So
cialists on the side of labor and -it
begins to look like you can find the
Republicans on the side of capital.
What is an anarchist, Mr. Scott,
but a man that disregards the law,
and who are proven In the trial to be
the parties to disregard the law? Is
It lawful to hire Pinkerton spies to
create trouble, have the militia called
out, put the community under martial
law without cause, deport citizens
who are not union men and property
holders, put them in bull pens like so
many cattle, guard them with negro
and insult them, deny the wives and
and Insult them, denw the wives and
children the right to carry their hus
bands and fathers something to eat,
kidnap men, take them 1500 miles
from home on a trumped up charge of
hired detectives whose livelihood de
pends on the trouble they can create?
Look at the crowd that was trying
to send Haywood to the gallows, Mc
Partland, Orchard, Gooding and Bor
ah, the land thief under indictment.
Ah yes, we Socialists are proud of

Advises People to Put Their Should

OREGON CITY, Aug 8. (Editor of
The Courier.) I want to repeat
through the columns of your paper
that there will be a County Fair held
at Gladstone Park on October 9, 10
and 11, 1907. There will be a meet
ing of the executive committee next
Tuesday, August 13 We hope to
have sold a majority of the capital
stock by that time bo that there can
be a date set for the permanent or
ganization. Just bear in mind that
there is really going to be a County
Fair and that your financial and
moral support is solicited. Don't ob
ject to the promoters of the enter
prise; come out and push it yourself.
Don't object to location, come out and
help select a better one. Secure at
least one share of stock so as to have
a say In the permanent orgainzation
and feel that it is your Fair, as much
as anyone's. Don't climb a tree now to
avoid responsibility and when suc
cess is assured come down ana say:
"Yes, Betsy and I killed the bear."
Don't think you have nothing to exhi
bit. You have spuds, or squashes, or
pumpkins, or turnips, or mangels, a
few nice apples, or pear, some grain
or grasses. And the ladles surely
have some of their delicious canned
fruits, and jellies. You surely can
find something. Fix up the old cow,
or calf, or pig, or chickens. You can't
lose if you don't get a premium. It
will benefit both you and the old cow.
Don't neglect to bring your products
and when you go home don't say to
your wife: "I- could have beaten so-and-so
If I had have tried." Try! Do
it now;- thla, year. - Remember that
united action means immediate suc
cess. We want your. help, but if for
any reason you fall to give it, we will
have to get along without you. Some
body will have to work a little harder,
but we shall make it go somehow. But
do you think it Just fair to accept the
benefits of someone else's energy, for
it's conceded on all sides that a county
fair will be beneficial to all. Now,
just come on one and all and let us

Brennan, a B., Inventor of the Bren
nau torpedo, who gave a demonstra
tion of his new Invention a short time
ago before the Royal society In Lon
don. The scientists present declared
that the Invention was going to make a
revolution In methods of transportation.
The possibilities of the new Idea
seem boundless and extend Into the
field of aerial as well as terrestrial
transportation. The "spinning top lo
comotive" la a name that has been ap
plied to Mr. Brennan's Invention, and
this may be more intelligible to many
people than the name gyroscope loco

locomotive will run on Its single rail
or upon a cable at a rate of 120 miles
an hour and around curves, up and
down hills, across ravines and riven
with as much ease as If a fairy hand
guided the revolutions of Its wheels.
Mr. Brennan, who bad Invented a good
many things before ho turned his at
tention to the gyroscope locomotive,
happened to center his thoughts one
day upon a peg top which be saw
spinning. He noticed how hard It was
to force the top to lose Its equilibrium.
"If that centrifugal force could only
be applied to transportation," he
thought, "It would revolutionize meth
ods In the Industry." With that be set
to work on the Idea, and this little en

of a much larger affair, was the result

This apparatus consists of two fly
wheels rotated by electricity In oppo

a very high velocity, and the power
required to keep them In operation Is
small, as they are mounted In cases

be carried by the vehicle Itself and
will be utilised both for supplying
current to the road wheel motors and

time the trains will be run on the
single rail principle and will carry
