GO TO THE PRIMARY.
Tweed, for many years political
boss of New York, said he did not care
who got the votes provided he could
do the nominating. Let the electors
remember that their votes cast on
Friday, the 17th, instant are the votes
that really count. If we let the boss
es do the nominating they will be per
fectly willing to let us do the voting
in the June election.
No one should think that he can
not afford a day oft to go to the pri
mary. It may be a good day to plow
or make garden. Your country has
some claim on you also. You would
serve in its armies if invasion by an
enemy were undertaken. There are
always enemies striving to undermine
your privileges and liberties. The
enemy in disguise, within the walls, is
the really dangerous one and your
vigilance will ward him off.
What you can do on primary day
or on election day may not seem of
very great moment, but the little that
each one of the many does on those
days in the aggregate amounts to a
terrible force tor good or evil. The
stay-at-homes are deserving of fully
as much censure as are the electors
who cast their ballot on the side of
evil and corruption. One directly,
the other indirectly, adds his mite to
the continuance of those things that
are reprehensible and to the elevation
of those men that are unfit for posi
tion of trust and honor. Don't for
get that there is such a thing as duty
Remember that you are free from
blame or consure when you have done
your duty according to the best of
your knowledge and ability. Go to
the primary, rain or shine; brush
every obstacle, real or fancied, aside
and go to the primary.
EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW.
On another page appears a New
York Times interview with B. H. Har-
riman. In this the "Napoleon of fl-
nanco" details "the other side." Of
course, to the extremist and to the
agitator, there Is no "other side" to
the questions that they assumy to
know all about and concerning which,
in reality, they know nothing. The
burden of their song is to cubstltute
their panacea, their cure for all exist
ing evils, tholr theory that has never
undergone a practical trial lor the
methods that have been tdnpted and
for the institutions that have become
fixed by gradual growth throughout
the centuries,
We have no more patience with tho
demagogues than we have with Ihe
"plunderbund" pirate. Both prey up
on ignorance. One robs the homo of
contentment and happiness. Of its
sensible and conservative understand
ing of right and wrong, of its proper
estimate of justice and injustice; the
other steals the home itself. The one
brings mental misery, the other phy
sical suffering. For too long the
country has borne with and even ap
plauded those who have sought to ai
ray the man of little worldly mouns
against the man on whom fortunn has
smiled. A class line based on birth
or rlchos or any arbitrary distinction
Is foreign to our institutions, U un
American and absence of this distinc
tion gives to America her distinguish
ed title of "Land of the Free."
Fanatical war on railroads Is more
detrimental to tho country's prosperi
ty than blind assault on any other
specie of private property. Indeed
we may expect financial depression to
follow the prevalent disposition to
tear down every great commercial or
Industrial enterprise. For the pres
ent the disguised spirit of anarchy is
abroad and it would be well for us
to search our hearts for the germs of
this enemy of progress aud civiliza
tion. Let It not be understood that the
unrighteous doslgns of corporate or
individual interests are to be upheld.
The demand is that neither they nor
any other shall enjoy special privileg
es but that all shall conduct them
selves In strict accordance with a gen
eral law. In many Individual instances
such a condition does not prevail and
the remedy is with the people. It
Is not in Iieoillng the nonsensical ex
hortations of thick headed agitators.

The farmers who raiBe the produce
must pay this interest. People will
realize in time that the ideal system
is the one whose many branches cover
a large scope of territory. It doesn't
matter who owns the railroads. The
commodity carried will have to yield
a tax to make a return for Invested
capital. If the people want to own
the railroads they are all for sale on
the New York stock exchange. Any
body who wishes can buy an inter
est In any one of them providing he
has anywhere from a hundred to a
million dollars to invest. If railroad
rates are too high that means that
the rallroadroads are receiving an un
fair return- on the capital invested.
We may then leave our ranches, quit
"alsing produce, and invest our money
'n railroad stocks.
Clean, honest citizenship; clean,
honest representation in legislative
halls and fearless officials who will
enforce the laws constitutes the
ample protection that the people can
have against the unlawful encroach
ments of capitalistic enterprises.
These are within our reach. Let us
get them and the problems that fret
us will be solved.
HENEY'S GOOD WORK.
Francis J. Heney is said to be quite
a wen-to-do man. If the things he has
said about C. W. Fulton are untrue
that gentleman need work no more.
The fortune he can collect in suits
for libel and slander will put him on
easy street. But the truth of the as
sertions Is a good .defonse to such
suits and therefore Heney may not
be greatly worried. Mr. Heney has
said many things about Oregon's
prominent citizens and Oregon Juries
nave a way of backing up his asser
tions by their verdicts. He has not
yet subjected a man to trial that he
didn't make good. Heney makes sure
that he is right then goes ahead. His
work in Oregon has bettered her moral
standing a hundred per cent. He un
doubtedly felt that Ills presence here
during the last few days might be
necessary to make sure the undoing
of Charles W. Fulton and his old ma
chine following. If there was any
aouut about this before, Heneys' com
Ing has certainly done much to remove
that doubt. Oregon has no way of
repaying Mr. Heney for what he has
accomplished in her behalf. Perhaps
for him, consciousness of what he has
done is in itself sufficient reward,

"Makes a Fine Record," in which
some statements are made regarding
the office of coroner that are errone
ous and altogether misleading to the
voters and tax payers of the county.
First: you say being an undertaker,
he can conduct the office at less ex--ense
to the taxpayers, and you give
n an illustration the cases that are
oald for by the county. Now, the
county pays Just so much for the bur
ial of a county case and no more, and
illows by law a certain stipulated fee
for the coroner's services so there
can not be any saving to the county
along that line, regardless of who the
coroner is. But there can be a sav
ing of from 5 to 20 per cent to the in
dividual who may be so unfortunate
as to call a coroner. If the office of
coroner is held by one not an under
taker. This leaving them free to call
the undertaker they prefer and not be
made to believe that the coroner un
dertaker has the exclusive and prior
right to handle their dead, as is usu
ally done.
You say Multnomah and Marlon
counties have undertakers coroners,
but you neglect to say that since the
recent troubles in Portland over the
Ex-Radium Institute and its illegal
practices, that that same undertaker
is not a candidate for re-election, and
it will be many a long day before an
other undertaker will hold the office
of coroner in Multnomah county.
The people have become alive to
the fact that a doctor should hold
this very responsible office, for the
best interests of the city, cdunty, and
all concerned.
The coroner is called to all cases in
question, if ho is not a physician how
can he intelligently tell the cause of
deaths. He can guess at It and that
is all; if you Insist on knowing he
will call a physician and the county
pays the extra - expense of $10 on
each case. Why not have a physician
at first and save all this needless ex
pense to the tax payers. It seems to
me that a physician should be elect
ed in every instance, whether it is
myself or some other physician.
Taxpayers, it is up to you to decide
the matter and you have the chance
at this primary.
Yours respectfully,

Whon any man or woman, out of pure gratitude, writes ua a letter, com
menting upon the benefits he has received from the use of Feruna, when
he does this without any solicitation or remuneration of any sort, and fur

the matter is beyond question, then do we consldor a testimonial available

We are at the present timo publishing many hundreds of testimonials.
We give the name and address in full of each one of these people.
We have no use for, nor would we publish for any sum of money, a fraudu

There used to be a comforting old
superstition that hard times bring
compensation in the form of a re
ducod cost of living. The facts just
now are ilylng in the face of a vener
able theory. For the prices of meats
are rising by bounds, aud the cause
is declared to Ho in the recent panic.
Ordinarily the farmers in the Middle
West buy range cattle la the fall, fat
ten them in the winter and sell them
in the spring. But last fall, we are
told, the banks had no money to loan
to the farmers. The farmers could
buy no range cattle, there was no
great stock of fresh-fat tenod cattle
for the markets of this spring, and
here we are with the butchers' bills
booming. People who missed the 'ex
perience of having their bank ac
counts held up when the panic time
was ripe get the opportunity to let
their feelings loose now as they pay
their reckonings for porterhouso and
sirloins. Incidentally lamb and pork
are also up.

the time of rising temperatures, which
is fortunate for those who combine
strength of mind with the desire to be
thrifty. Warm weather means fresh
vegetables from gardens the same sea

his re-election. He has been tried and
proved able and faithful to his trust

an opportunity to strengthen the bank
