AN AWKWARD POSITION.
It Is even strange that C. W. Ful
ton should go before the people ask
ing their endorsement for the United
States senatorshlp. He holds that
the election lies properly within the
Legislature. He is not willing that
the popular vote should settle the
matter unless It happens to come his
way. He wants the vote if he ?an get
it, but if he can't he wants the Legis
lature to proceed to elect a Sonutor.
If some one else happens to get the
popular vote he doesn't want the Leg
islature to feel under obligation to
elect him and he doesn't want candi
dates for the legislature to pledge
themselves to abide by the people's
choice.
The fact is that the system under
which Mr. Fulton played the politi
cal game so long and so sucessfuily
never recognized the rights or wish
es of the people and It does not seem
to have dawned upon him that the
people have decided to do things dif
ferently now. We used to send men
to the legislature understanding that
it was a part of the regular proceed
ings for them to trade their Senatorial
vote for a few thousand dollars or for
a reglstershlp or receivership of a U.
S. Land Office or some other good gov
ernment job. We got out of the way
of doing this a couple of years ago
and now if we get a candidate for (he
Legislature to pledge himself to vote
for the people's choice for Senator
ho won't be subjected to the tempta
tion to vote for the man who can of
fer the longest purse or the best job
What argument can Mr. Fulton offer
for going back to this rotten old sys-
tern. He shouldn't receive twenty
votes In Clackamas County. With all
aristocracy whose boodllng and cor
ruption brought upon Oregon her sick
ening shame and disgrace. It took
courage no doubt, to retire under such
abuse. How great must the temp
tation have been to one who rather
likes a fight to have stayed to the
finish that vindication might have
been had at the hands of the people.
But one of the dearest prerogatives of
the people of the State was In danger

Its mention finds a place on the pages
of a people's history where personal
triumphs and the achievements of
ambition are not recorded. There Is
much wheat, much chaff In the eform
atory measures advocated by the man
who was most prominent among the
little band which led Oregon Into her
political liberty. The time Is not op
portune, the temper of the people not
fitted to attempt to separae the one
from the other. Other times will suf
fice for this and around this theme
will be woven the most interesting
chapter of a great State's history.
GIUSEPPE ALIA, MURDERER.
"Is there no appeal?" These are
assuredly the words of despair. As
an expression of utter hopelessness
the Illustrious Dante might well have
made the abandoned Spirit of the
"Inferno" writhing In Indescribable
torment say, "Is there no appeal?"
The answer is in the memorable in
scription written over the portal;
"Abandon hope! ye who enter nere."
There is no appeal for such as Gius
eppe Alia, brutal slayer of Leo llein
rlchs. There is no hope.
The life he took Is not destroyed.

some extent escape to London. The
volume of transactions would be
greatly lessened and a large revenue
derived from them. If this were ap
plied to the reduction of our present
burdensome tariff tax the relief would
be appreciated. If the extra money
were spent upon huge navy program

not profit much by It.
These large elements of the Ameri

changes depress prices during the
harvest season and unduly raise pric

price records bear out their assertion.

The endeavor of the Board to sup

support and co-operation of the vari

Immediate charge of the work In each
county, as well as of the teachers
themselves. The condition of many
of the schools throughout the State,
especially in the country districts, Is
such that demands the severest crit

their construction, lighting, heating
and ventilation, absence of sanitary
cloak-rooms, etc. The floors are often
thin and the basement open, so aB to

often near the closet, or from an ad
joining spring, just as liable to con
tamlnation.
The Board would urge upon ever

DIXON OPPOSES LAND TAX.
George W. Dixon, the Republican
candidate for representative, has ac
cepted an invitation from the Earlow
Grange to deliver an address against
the land tax theory, on Saturday ev
ening, March 28. Mr. Dixon hes been
having a great battle with the single
taxers through his newspaper, 1 he
Canby Tribune, and through the Port
land papers. He is the leader of the
opposition to this tax In Oregon, and
has been requested to visit various
parts of the State and deliver speech
es against it. The Oregonlan says
Dixon will kill the land tax measure if
he continues his fight until the June
election. Mr. Dixon says if ho re
ceives the nomination for representa
tive at the primaries, April 17, he
will devote his time until the June
election speaking and writing against
the land taxers, as he will regard his
nomination as an expression of m
proval for the work he is doing" in
this direction.
How it does seem to trouble a gr?at
many Republicans to know that the
leaders are unable to do a olessod
thing with the President, and taking
everything Into consideration mem
bers of the party and the common peo
ple generally might just as well make
up their minds to face the probabil
ity, yes, the inevitable, that the big
President will during the coming
year outdo his previous record in
stirring things up. No human agency
can stop him, when once he goes at
thing, and asserts his powar, trio
power that he discovered he possess
ed when holding office of Police Com
missioner in the city of New York,
and his word cleared the pages of any
record of property attached to his
name no taxes m that state then
he went south, and Inside of three
months ho wanted to be Governor of
New York, and It didn't take long to
discover there had been a slight error
on the part of the assessors, and his
nomination followed. He sure has the
power, and there are many things
that he Is ambitious to do before he
teps out of the spot-light.

on tho charges brought by Represen

effect that the Electric Boat Company,
which is the successor to the old Hol

tain a large lobby in Washington, and
had exercised undue Influence on
members of the House and Washing
ton correspondents in securing appro

portance because it will mean sither
the elimination of Representative
Lllley from political life, or the dis

much effect on the practice of lobby

Two of the most important measures
introduced at this session of congress,
the employers' liability bill and the
postal savings bank bill, were Intro
duced by Senator Knox, of Pennsyl
vania. Both of these bills are now
under consideration in committee and
will be reported to the senate at an
early date. The indications are that
both will become laws at this session.
A sub committee of the committee
on Judiciary is holding hearings ou
the employers' liability bill, giving
the workmen and the railroads every
opportunity to present arguments for
and against It. The object in framing
the bill, is one that wll be kept to
the bill, is one that will be kept to
ing upon it, and that Is to give the
workmen the greatest consideration
possible for their protection and yet
keep within the bounds of the con
stitution, so that when the bill be
comes a law and gets before the
courts, it will not suffer the same un
fortunate fate that the former law did.
The postal savings bank bill is now
being considered by a sub-committee
of the committee of postofflces and
post roads. Two other bills, having
the same object, are before this sub
committee. This bill embodies the
views of the postmaster general and
has the backing of President Roose
velt and the administration. Every
effort will be made to secure its pas
sage at this session of congress and
the prospects of success are good.
Bankers and financiers as1 a rule will
favor It, as they recognize that it will
go a long way towards preventing
the recurrence of such financial strin
gency as the country has Just passed
through. The people will wlecome it
as it will provide an absolutely safe
depository for their savings.
The plea of Senator Crane, of Mas

the delegates to the Chicago conven

structions or resolutions, "and that
they should be absolutely free to do
that which seems wisest and best for
the party and the country," is in
teresting, but not plausible. The man
that always knows what Is wisest and
best for the party and the country Is
Theodore Roosevelt, and he will tell

The fight against consumption is bo-
coming a national problem. .
Everywhere we hear of sanitariums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army of
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being tho great
est necessities in the treatment of con
sumption in all Its stages.
Dr. Hartman has for many years ad
vocated the fresh air treatment for con
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Peruna as a useful pallia
tive for the many distressing symptoms "
which accompany the white plague.
The promptness with which Peruna
relieves a fresh cold, and even removes
chronic colds, is well-known. This
ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylactio
against consumption.
