o
PEOPLE WANT A CHANGE.
There exists in every section of the
county a feeling of dissatisfaction
with the representation Clackamas
has received in the upper House of
the State Legislature. It is contended
that in a twelve years' continuous
service little bf anything of real ben
efit in the way of relieving the burden
of the taxpayer or enacting remedial
legislation has been accomplished. The
reason is not hard to understand. The
honorable Senator from Clackamas
has represented and now represents
interests that are directly opposed
to those of the common people. What
else can be expected?
Under the direct primary the peo
ple have a chance to openly rebuke
these methods. Jt a change is de
sired the means of bringing it about
are at hand. It is the duty of every
voter to take a part in the primaries
and voice his choice in the naming of
his party candidates.
poisoned in their bread, milk, butter,
beer, and "poisoned in the remedies
for which, when these horrible com
pounds have produced their conse
quences, we, in our simplicity, apply
to our druggists." "Beer," said Mr.
Froude, was, "watered and then raised
to double strength by nux vomica and
coculus indicus and salted to make
thirst insatiable," and gin was "a
minimum of pure spirit seasoned with
white vitrol and oil of cinnamon and
cayenne." England was hard to rouse,
and powerful interests fought against
restriction, but much progress has
been made. Here in the United States
we are just waking up to this partic
ular task. Much money is enlisted,
and it is backed by some honest con
viction. We know of more than one
manufacturer of headache poison or
similar "dope" who so thoroughly be
lieves in it that he not only hands it
out to his best friends whenever they
complain of any sort of illness or de
pression, but he himself probably eats
it on strawberries in the spring and
on his mush the rest of the year. But
these honest cranks are in the min-.
nority. The main enemy of .improve
ment is money, and money will be the
strongest opponent of the Heyburn

In spite of the unprecedented devel

nor permitted anyone un-
the sale of poison where it yields a
profit. A fundamental difference be
tween the two is that the prepared
food industry is a good thing in itself,
although subject to some abuses,
whereas the patent medicine business
is wrong in principle. Exchange.
MODERN HUMOR.
BROWN ELL'S EXCUSE.
Brownell in answer to the charge
that he is owned by the corporations
body and soul, that he is their pliant
tool, that he makes his bread and, but
ter by serving them, says that he is no
worse than others. But is it an ex
cuse that will be accepted by the vot
ers? For twelve long years he has
Veen on the railroad cmmitte of the
Senate and has served his masters
we'l. His motto is "Let the people le
damned." So long as the railroads
pay well he can live in clover and
what business is it of the people's
anyway?
But has not Brownell misjudged the
times? Are not the peopl going to
demand a strict accounting of the
stewardship of their public servants?
Have they not the right to know that
a State Senator is their servant and
not the servant of the railroads? In
these days of corporation greed no
man can serve both the corporations
and the people. Is there any doubt
as to which one he has chosen? He
does not deny it but says he has done
no worse than others. His excuse
should condemn him. But his excuse
is not true. No man in Oregon has so
overridden public conscience, public
justice and public decency in his fight
for the corporations and his own pock
et as Brownell. He is known as the
sleek, oily smooth Brownell from one
end of the state to the other. The cor
porations also know that they can have
him if they want him at any time if
they will put up. He knows how to
drive a good bargain as evidenced in
the liquor fight in the last session of
"the Legislature. He voted against the
liquor bill until the last moment when
votes were very desirable, also valu
able, then he voted for the liquor bill.
Why?
But the uprising that has been rais
ed throughout the Fast against the j
railroads and allied corporations is
echoing in Oregon, and the man
has done no worse than others, will
find the people are not looking for
him. Rather, they are looking for the
man that will serve
people.
Is humor irreverent today, as com
pared with other centuries or decades?
Some censors of our time accuse pres
ent writers of laughing without dis
crimination of true pr false, good or
ill. From "We do not know it is
said that the race of humorists has
passed along to the intellectual an
archy of "We do not care." Canon
Alfred Ainger, in an address, now pub
lished, accuses modern hunior of hav
ing for its principal ingredient scorn
"scorn, too, which is not earnest
enough to take the form of a misan
thropy, as with Swift, or even of a
moral indignation against particular
offenders, as with Pope"; and this
moral flippancy he charges particular
ly to America. "By far the most ig
noble kind of cynicism is the cynicism,
not of conviction, but of having no
convictions: the cynicism of caring
nothing for anybody, if only a laugh
can be gQt' out of it." Our English
friend uses as examples Marvk' Twain
and W. S. Gilbert. What a point of
view! Mark Twain seethes with con
viction, and is always enthusiastically
occupied with some crusade, and a
gentleman who objects to the inspir
ed insouciance of Gilbert must be very
anxious indeed to find a moral in the
sunshine or the rose. Humor can ex
ist in other forms than corrective sat
ire. It may be as purposeless as the
melody of the lark or the
of the fact,
der him to do so, that the greatness of
a university does not lie in buildings,
in the size and number of classes, in
the variety of studies offered to un
dergraduates or postgraduates. No
one has championed more effectively
the small college than he did some
years ago in a series of admirable
lectures. He sacrificed no higher ele
ment to mere bigness, but he did not
fall into the error of supposing that
bigness or rapidity of growth under
favorable conditions was a criihe.

A POSTAL ANOMALY.
Over 31,000 rural free delivery
routes are now in operation in the
United States, and the number increas
es fast. They are the most recent pos
tal development, and a commendable
idea. " But singular restrictions are
imposed upon the service. Congress
will not allow rural carriers to de
liver a parcel of merchandise except
on payment of 16 cents a pound post
age, and the weight must not exceed
4, pounds. On such a 4-pound parcel
the postage is 64 cents, which is ordi
narily a prohibitory rate. The same
4-pound parcel can be mailed to Eng
land, postage prepaid, for 49 cents.
Apparently Congress has not heard of
this remarkable absurdity. At all
events, no legislative remedy is in
sight. The subject appears to be side
tracked, session after session.

ARE YOU A FARMER?
Yesterday morning a bulletin . was
issued from the sickroom of President
Harper stating that he probably could
not live the week out. This was a
great shock to all but a few of the
intimate friends of the brave patient,
jand is estimated at $13,000,000 this
year. Is it any wonder, with the man
agement that establishes 31,000 rural
delivery routes and, at the same time
exercises great ingenuity in prevent
ing it from doing much of anything?

POISON'S IN THE 60's
Many troubles we complain of have
caused complaint before, and some
times remedies result, and sometimes
they do not. " Somewhere in the 60's
we believe it was, Froude wrote an
essay in which he observed that Lon
doners were poisoned in the water
ucator; he had a Dassion for his nro-
-
wnojfession and for learning, and his am
bition was to make the University of
Chicago not merely one of the big
gest, but one of the noblest, ' loftiest

had remarkably broad sympathies-He
thoroughly believed in freedom of
teaching and the beneficience of un
restricted discussion. He encouraged
research, investigation, the expres
sion of honest opinion, in every legiti
mate, sane, rational way, insisting on
common sense and that alone. ' The
University of Chicago, whatever mis
informed detractors have said to the
contrary at times, has been as liberal,
as tolerant, as devoted to the pursuit
with which they lighted their houses, of truth in every department of human
ing qualities. Since Clackamas is the
political enigma of the state of Oregon,
this scrap between Porter and Brown
ell will be watched with a good deal
of interest. Newberg Graphic.
