DIMICK A CONSERVATIVE LEGISLATOR
WaUnr A. Dimick is the man who
has been tried and has made good.
What more do the people of Clacka
mas county desire of a man for state
senator. His record in the loRislatore
is one that can not be assailed aud the
manv undosirable bills that were
killed, which may be directly traced
to his untiring efforts, and his sup
port of measures that strengthened
the primary laws and Statement No 1.
have won him the justly creditable
title of "th-rv." who has been tried
auil 'lA-i iiiail- H'Mil."
Thore id iit' ' ncasion to send a
jmw man U; f 1. ' . How much more
WieHcial will be the efforts of one
w'm) lias ('"it1 hi" worK satisfactorily,
in wfcim iuili!''!' coufldoiico rests,
who duiin Him ri;-lit thing ii the
l)t us leii-cK-utaiivn without the
iv.ihtou.aij lii&WDUi, who lias been
faithful to his constituents, worked
for the interest ot the greatest num
ber, with as clean a record as any
man who ever stepped into the senate
chamber, and a live advocate and be
liever in the very laws and principles
the peoDle of Oregon require. Would
it not be tolly to do otherwise than
send Mr. Diuiiok to the sonate? liis
record in the legislature bears out
the statement above. He was one of
the earliest signers of Statement No.
1. He has talked it from one end of
the connty to the other. He bolievcs
it, and lives it.
In another column of the Courier
may be found an open lotter from
O. 1). Eby, the Democratic candidate
for senator, Mr. Dimick's opponent.
Mr. Eby attempts to play some sharp
politios, aud digs up some old mattors
that do not interest the people at the
present time. Everyone recalls the
undeoided position of many of the
candidates, as to whether it was best
to sign any of the laws' that wero be
ing brought out to the people, and it
only proves Mr. Dimick's faithfulness
to the people in hesitating to doolare
for anything that came op until he
had made absolutely sure that it was
what the people desired and was tor
their good. This is the proper man
ner in whioh to treat all new moas
ures and is the very courso advocated
by Mr. Eby himself aud all other sta
ble minds, in connection with the
many amendment measures before the
people this year. If Mr. Dimick hes
itated for a few weeks investigating
those measures, he did what any con
servative representative should do,
and then when he found them good,
it didn't take him long to sign thorn,
and hiR record since shows how faith
fully he has supported and worked all
over the county in their interest.
It does not appear quite) oomistont
for Mr. Eby to make such requests
from a man who has the record of Mr.
Dimick. in view of the fact that we
iiave heard of very litilu alimg this
line of work at the hands of Mr. Ehy.
When did Mr. Eby come out in sup
port of all these good laws and sigu
Statement No, IV And further how
much work has he done throughout
the county and stHte to help the peo
ple retain them? A sudden desire
seems to havo spiung up in Inn heart
to do something for the cause, aud we
ask the voters in all fairness which ot
the two men is moro practical, the
one with the record of having been
tried aud found always at liiH post
fighting with thorn, or the other who
would like an opportunity to show
his attitude.
Mr. Dimick is a sure, safe and sane
man, lias made good, goes and comes
fighting, made one of the very best
representatives ever sent out of Clack
amas county, aud with this record we
are assumed of Iub endeavors as state
senator.
If the people vote iiowernmu into
the governor's chair it will moiin just
that they don't care to legislate them
selves and would intioli prefer to have
polities ruu by few, admitting that
they know how to go to the polls and
vote but that they don't know how to
get up and say who they want to rep
resent them. 'Tie true a deplorable
oondition has arisen, but there are
further remedies, and if Oswald goes
to cutting up any didos we can put
the recall up before his gaze a lew
times, and, by the way, that wouldn't
be a very bad dose to hand out to the
"twius",iu Portlaud. Oregon never
got anything from our senators and
representatives until the whole Will
amette valley got down to business
and made some threats and douiaudK,
For the last twenty years this state
oould have gotten along very nicely
without such plugs back in Washing
ton, and saved the state many and
many a good round dollar. The situa
tion reminds one of the old saying of
punching the pith out of a hair and
marohing the two abreast. They
wouldn't touch the Bides.
BANK BENEFITS
This tank is a benefit to the community
impossible without its existence.
A safe, convenient place is offered for the
people's money; methods arc Jurnished
for carrying on business with safety
and accuracy; the people have a place
where they can go to borrow money.
The bank is an advantage to the commu
nity at large also to each customer in par
ticular. Do you want particular benefits?

IT IS TO LAUGH
In the support of candidates who
are standing for principle and not en
tirely for linrtv. the Courier is not
alone, notwithstanding the puny at
temps of some of the would-be laeders
m supposedly political crioles to make
scmo people believe that such U the
case, (io where you may over the
Uuitr-d States and yon will find the
very broadest minds today following
the correct lines or supporting men
who are working to corn et the rotten
condition, instead of the old-fashioned
kind, hide-bound, dkd-iu-the-wool,
voto-for-the devil if he's only on onr
side Throughout Clacknnias couhtt
there never was such a splitting up
of either paity. Tho bread gunge nun
of today have seen the fallacy of
stickina to the old ship aud have
come to the conclusion that men with
tirinninlo shall receive their vote, and
that the corrupt politician in either
nartv shall receive the rebuke he is
nntiilurl to.
Private) opinion as to the attitude of
a newspaper simply because it aoes
not support all the Democrats or all
tho' Republicans on the ticket is like
chaff in the wind, aud counts for
about as much, with the Courier;
they are following1 tho wrong cow to
the' barn, and will find out their mis
tako when it conns supptr time
The Courier was advocating just
this policy two yoars before the pres
ent sweeping wave that is traversing
the nation cunie into existence, and
we believe from tho natiou-wido re
ports that the insurgent flood is here
to stay, and one by one tho hard-shell
corruptionisls will bo flivel bodily out
of the paths of thoso who have strug
gled for cleaner politics. Small in
Huuiheis now, growing less each year,
their hollow bulfooiiH rotnind the sen
sible man of a hunch ot clowns in a
circus don't do much, but make peo
ple laugh;
TUB RECONSTRUCTION
Juht ten days 'joforo election, and
the greatnfit educational campaign
Known to American people will have
passed into history, and all right ho,re
in Oroeon. We who are iu the midst
of tho fight iu this great statu little
realize tho magnitude or tno anair.
We have gradually woven ourselves
into the conditic ns that exist until
tho work is but second nature, and we
are daily fighting what may appear on
the surface just plain political ques
tions, but through it all we have bat
tled with the unrelenting toe ol com
mon law, warring against the cor
rupt, tho grafting, vice and bossisui
that was thro'tling our very exis
tence, threatening even tho common
commercial interests of our nation,
crumbling anil shattering the funda
mental principles of a eelf-gnvemiiig
people.
On evory liiiud has the moustor been
dominant, iu ono state pre-eminently
within the domains of tho Democratic
party, Biid still iu another through
the rule or ruin policy of Republican
leadership. Distraction reigned su
premo with the masses, until Oregon,
ono of the youngest states ot the na
tion, sprin'gs into the open, w ith laws
that return to those who gave, the
power to do and say.
Though well driven home have boon
the boated boltt, and cliuuhod, yet a
too severe strain might rupture again
the groat steol framework and precipi
tate a teirillc downfall; the crowning
glory of the twentieth century might
crumble in rums at our feet.
Let us work with reuowod energy
against all that breeds corruption, not
only iu politics but in our commer
cial and private life, upholdiug those
whoso emleavois toward betterment
form the rock foundation of au in
tended, but nearly lost, government
by the people.
Ex-President Roosuvlt has boen
getting himtelf into a lot of trouble
of late. The question is now being
discmsed throughout tho country as
to whether thst truly woiidmful man
is a statesman lirnt, and u politician
afiorwai'dH, or a polincian first and a
statesman after w arils. A great, many
wisierii insurgents are inclined
toward the latter view. While he
n as sweeping thu West a short while
ago on waves of unceasing ovatious,
he was hailed as a lender of leaders of
the Insurgent or I'rogresslvo move
ment, in tho Republican party. The
lock on which tho Republican party
split ii to Insurgent and Stand-Pat
Camps was the I'ny ne-Ahliich tariff.
Tho Progressive Republicans have
attacked that ineasuro with moro bit
terness and virulence thin the Demo
crats have ever done. At the recent
New York convention, which Roose
velt dominated in n manner to suit
himself, the tali IV hill was indorsed
and also I'residont.Tal't. In regard to
President Tuft the Insurgents, as a
rule, indorse his good intentions only,
which are admitted even by Demo
crats as well as Repuhlicnns, but
many of his acts tho Insurgents do not
indorse, so when u convciitiou goes
further than to indorse President
Tail's good intention it goes outside
of the realm of Insurgency into the
Sland-l'al Camp. Mr. Roosevelt has
been called upon to explain whether
he is working both ends against the
middle, as the saying is, or what.
Wenatchee is in line for opening the
Columbia river from bc.vond the
Canadian boiiudiuy to the sea. The
Wenatchee Commercial ijlub has writ
ten tl o Portland commercial bodies
that, it wi,ll co-operate heartily in tho
movement; and in fact practically the
whole Columbia river valley is united
iu the work.

The peaunt politics that have been
ocoupyinc the attention ot the Port
laud Oregonian and Journal are suffi
cient to make the busy farmer dis
gusted witli those big city dailies.
About all they contained politically
for several days was that Bowerman
rode rn a pass and at the same time
grafted money for mileage from the
ctate, and then tli other sheet would
attempt to prove the same of West,
and then either would try to explain
that the gratters were acting iu tiie
best faith with the people aud that
the money was banded back, eto , etc.
Absurdity. It is to. laugh. What do
the people care for such enigmatical
calculations The voters cf the state
undoubtedly havo their own opinions
about either candidate and their
plebeian backing.
The Columbia river is being re
stocked with Soekeye salmon. The

the Yes Ray, Alaska, hatchery is on

Donuoville and the youDg fish liber
ated in the Columbia river when they
reach a suitable size. A similar num
ber ot eggs will be brought trora Alas

four years in succession and it is
thought that at the eud of that time
this varietv of salmon will be much
more plontiful in the Columbia and

Why is it that tho hun.au race in
general aud a few in iianicnlar are
never satisfied with what they have
or have net? They would rather
spend their time in cursing an unkind
fstn tor something thoy want but
would be better without than enjny
what they already jiossess. Tiie
American people have not learned
that to ain something of value to us
we must strive for years before we
get the desired result. We want and
demand Foiiuthiug in a month that
oilier rac 'B of people have striven
maybe for generations to possess.
Look at our muse inns. They expect
to perfect themselves in the art aud
have the people at their feet in less
time than some of the old masters
would spend alone ou tecnique. I
heard a man say uot long ago that the
American ptoile were working for
position if noi for results. I wonder
how fur he missed it. This man also
said that there were only three things
wo want and are crazy on money,
position aud automobiles. How much
better we would all be and how much
happier if we would bend our energies
for something of value to each of ub
aud spend less time in trying to land
things for our so-called pleasures aud
good timo. We would all be bet'er
in every phase of life if we would
oulv do th b Now wo only live to
have a continual round of eo-calhid

minds and souls for this licentious
sort of pleasure, instead of making
oursslves good clcau men and women
aud a good clean man or woman is the
pure gold, but these "ollnrs," why
they are only the "dross." We try to
enjoy the pla isures that the world
oilers and we give all that is good,
pure and noble for the exchange, God
in his mercy and the angels in heaven
must surely weep when they see the
price we piy. We have been endowed
with the test and we giv it to rotteu

A FAIR PROPOSITION
Proposed Nesmith County
Merits Support of Voters
The people of Bouthera Lane and
northern Douglas counties, numbering
more than eight thousand souls, reel
ing that they are qualified to ecnom
tcally administer their own affairs
from a governmental standpoint, have
initiated a bill for the creation of
new county to be known as Nesmith,
in honor of James Willis Nesnu h
pioneer whose name shines in the fir
mament of illnstrious Oregouians.
The proposed county would contain
1,040 square miles, of which 1, 472
would come from Lane and 4f8 from
Douglas, leaving the former 2,008
square miles and the latter 4,804
square miles, a Buthcieut area from
which to still form several counties
the size of Multnomah, Hood R.ver,
Columbia and Washington. The total
assfssed valuation ot Nesmith county
would be o,8l)9,oio, leaving Li'ine
118,000,000 and Dooglus over 37,M)0,
000. The oountry within the propped
new county is capable of maintaining
an organization that would, we be
lieve, be to the best interest nf tho
people embraced within the torritorv
and at the same time not deprive any
other people attecteel or their rights,
nor inorease their burdens, nor work
them auy injury whatsoever.
Owing to the large area of the two
old counties affected muny residents
are put to great inconvomence, delay
aud expense in transacting business
at the county seats. To compel resi
dents to travol from twenty to sixty
miles over bad roads'in order to pay
their taxes, serve on juries, or as wit
nesses, is to inflict a hardship upon
them: yet i; is more a matter of self-

tion should go hand iu hand, but not
so uuder presout conditions ror in
stance, Cottage Grove, the second city
in size aud importance in Lane coun
ty, has never been permitted to name
a county judge, aud it has been a
qaarter ceutury since it had represen
tation on the county board of commis
sioners; while the territory taken
from Douglas county has never had
either a county judge or commis
sioner. The representatives iu.the
statcjlegislature are from the county
seats Eugene aud Roseburg thus
leaving ajlarge tax-oostributing com
munity without voice in either local
nr state affairs. Niuety-two por cent
of the residents within the proposed
Nesmith couuty signed the petition,
praying the voters of Oregon to grant
them self-goverument by the creation
of the new county, while one partic
ular section immediately outside the
origiual boundary lines petitioned
the Nesmith committee for admission
to the new county, pre'erriug to take
chances with the new rather than to
remain with the old. This shows
oouclusively that the sentiment of
the taxpayers of the proposed new
county are practically unanimous iu
favor of division.
The boundary liues of Nesmith have
been drawn iu strict adliorence to the
topography of tho country, its natural
watersheds having been considered iu
every particular. The people of the
new county have no desire to do any
thing that would result detrimentally
to either of the old counties.
Jointly Lane and Douglas have
5,800,000 acres, or more thau the en
tire Willamette valley, and of tins
vast area, only a million and a quar
ter are asked by the new county.
The people within the te.ritory ot
proposed Nesmith county are preseut
iug their case to the voters of the
state without the slightest misrepre
sentation, pinning their faith iu the
voters to support their contention
that local selt-goverumeut is the iueal
form of government; that the nearer
hauie government is cheaper; thr.t
laws aie more effectually enforced;
that greater development of country
is possible; that better highways are
attainable; that, its citizens are con-
veuienced bynearness to the seit of
government; that taxation and repre
sentation should go hand in h.tud,
and that by the creation of Nesmith
county the efforts of a large and l ro
gressive community would tie reu
d;red more effective in" increasing
population, developing the resources
and enhancing the greatness of Ort

Eby's Open Letter
To the Hon. V. A. Dimick
Republican Candidate for State Senator.
Dear Sir:
In the contest now pending for the office of State
Senator, 1 have repeatedly charged you with being insin
cere in your position regarding the late assembly and I have
said that you are nut a statement No. 1 man at heart and
never were.
In support of my charges I have cited the argument
that you put forth and the assault that you macie against
the assembly and its candidates during your recent primary
campaign and have compared this with your interview given
out and published in the Telegram of September 30, 1910,
in which you declare for the support of the entire Repub
lican ticket, which includes assembly candidates, and have
also compared it with the leading editorial of the Oregon
City .Enterprise of the same date in which it says that you
have lined up in support of the whole ticket.
1 understand that you have publicly said that I am
unfair in this matter and in making these charges I am not
treating you light; now I want to assure you that I have
always been vour friend, personally, and I hope that what
ever may be the result of this campaign and election we
may still be friends, and that I have no disposition to be un
fair towards you. I have taken an active part in a number'
of campaigns in this County and 1 have never yet made an
enemy as a result thereof and I do not wish to do so now.
In order that the voters of this county may be the
judge of whether or not I am fair in this matter and that
you may have a full opportunity in the next issue of this
paper to answer mejl beg leave to ask you a few questions.
First. Is it true as I have charged that you are now
supporting Mr. Bowerman, the Republican assembly can
didate for governor?
Second. If it is true that you are doing this, how can
you reconcile this position with your position in the primary
fight when you said that the assembly and its candidates
were the old corrupt bunch of politicians backed by the cor
poratiens of this state and if the assembly candidates were
nominated and elected they would take away from the peo
ple the direct primary law, statement No. i, the initative and
referendum and the other reform laws which have been en
acted by the people?
Third. If Mr. Bowerman is elected do you believe
that he will be the enemy of these reform measures? If not,
