BROW NELL'S HYPOCRISY.
Senator Brownell in announcing his
platform states that he signs State
ment No. 1 of the Direct Primary
-Law as "the greatest issue on which
I ask nomination and election." By
way of introduction, he further de
clares "I have always advocated the
popular nomination and election of
United States Senators."
In making these statements Brown
ell is not sincere. Neither is he hon
est. His own record at Salem is proof
of his insincerity in making these dec
larations. If he has, "ALWAYS advo
cated the popular nomination and
election of United States Senators,"
why did he not vote for and support
for that office T. T. Geer, the people's
choice, in the last senatorial contest?
But what else could be expected of
him? Did he ever keep faith with his
constituents in any important matter?
Can anything more be expected of
him at this time?
"What has the corporation agent and
attorney to say as to what his posi
tion will be towards corporate inter
ests, by which he is employed, dur
ing his term of service in the State
Senate should he be elected.' Having
failed to make any statement as to
what he will do, is it to be expected
that anything but a repetition of the
last twelve years can be looked for?
When corporate greed has been al
ligned against the interests of the
public has he not always been found
faithfully serving the corporations
in whose salaried employ he is?
But . then Brownell has found that
the people of Clackamas county are
fond of being duped and he thinks all
he has to do this time is to compound
the prescription and they will swallow
it without so much as making a face.
This time the preparation is the
popular election of Senator. The med
icine is good so far as it goes but it
is by no means a remedy for the
many ailments of which the people of
this state.and particularly Clackamas
county, have to complain, by reason
of the acts of their Dr. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde legislator in matters of import
ant legislation.
But the people of this county are
experiencing an awakening to the real
situation. They may have been fooled
before, several times for that matter,
but it will require a thicker coat of
sugar this time if Brownell gets the
voters to take his dope again and say
they like it. They have about tired
of the Brownell brand which has
promised so much and accomplished
so little.
But in order to keep up their cour
age,' Brownell's boosters are howling
that he "can't be beat." But the Vot
ers have tired of the tender embraces
and confidential assurances of a State
Senator who never overlooks an op
"portunity to demonstrate his insin
cerity by repudiating practically every
pledge he ever made. They have from
time to time accepted as earnest a
renewal of the same pledges so often
violated until they have lost all con
, fldence they ever had in the man.

Under the provisions of the Direct
Primary law a voter may sign the pe
titions of any number of candidates
for the nomination to any one office.
A mistaken impression prevails among
many voters who are of the opinion
that they can sign' the petition of but
a single candidate for nomination to
any one office. The law gives to each
voter the right to sign as many peti
tions for the same office as may be
presented to him. He can then express
his choice at the primary election
when of course the elector can vote
for but one candidate for each office
on the state and county tickets. In
this county on the Legislative ticket,
the voter can vote for one candidate
for State Senator and three candidates
for Representative. -

VOTERS MUST REGISTER.
Not more than 1200 of a voting
strength of 4500 in this county have
registered to date. -' This is far from
satisfactory. IN ORDER TO VOTE
AT THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN
APRIL, ELECTORS' MUST REGIS
TER ON OR BEFORE APRIL 10th.
There is not getting out of this. Then
register.
Arrangements are being made by
the Republican organization of this
county for holding meetings in prac
tically every precinct of the county
between now and the time for closing
tne registration books for the pri
mary election. At these meetings
; there will be addresses by competent
speakers who will explain the Direct
Primary Law. There will also be in
' attendance a notary public and an op
portunity will be given voters to reg
ister. These meetings will be strictly non
partisan;' "and will be held solely for
the purpose of acquainting voters with
the details, of the primary law and
getting them- to register. The people
now nominate their candidates for of
fice and it is the dut yof each elec
tor to -attend at least one of these
meetings and learn what part he has
to perform in the naming of candi
dates. " Grant B. Dimick, ' of this city, will
address the people of Macksburg and
vicinity tomorrow,' Saturday evening.
At that time he wilr explain the Di
rect Primary law and he will be ac
companied by a notary public who will
give voters an opportunity to register.
This and other meetings of similar
character should be largely attended.
The voters of Eagle Creek and vi
cinity will be addressed on the same
subject tomorrow evening by C.
Schuebel, of this city. Voters will be
given a chance to register at this
meeting also.
RULES TO DETERMINE QUALIFI-
CATIONS OF VOTERS.
Section 2776 The place shall be
considered and held to be the resi
dence' of a person in which his habi--tation
is fixed, and to which, when--ever
he is absent, , he has the inten"-'
tion of returning; a person shall not
be considered or held to have lost his
residence who shall leave , his home
Labor and capital should be treated
with equal fearlessness by men worthy
to hold public office. One of the qual
ities most admirable in the President
is his courage alike before the votes
of labor and the dollars of the million
aire. Justice is an official's highest
duty, whether to pauper or trust mag
nate. Some criticism has been made
of late on Governor Folk of Missouri,
for his commutation to imprisonment
for life of the death sentence passed
upon one Bailey for murdering a
"scab," and at least one brilliant news
paper, which is always the organ of
capital, contrasts Mr. Folk's action
unfavorably with that of Governor
Hoch of Kansas, who refused to par
don a man condemned to six months'
imprisonment for injury to a "scab."
Such a criticism shows how far ha
bitual bias may go. The Hoch case
is one of short imprisonment upon un
questioned facts. What resemblance
has such a case to that of a man sen
tenced to death on testimony which
later was admitted to have been per
jured? Mr. Folk we take to be a brave
man, and his own conclusions on the
case must appeal to the unbiased ,
mina. i Deiieve, he says, that a
labor union man should be punished
for his crimes just like anybody else,
but do not think it right to hang a
man merely ' because he is a union
man, irrespective of the facts. To
have yielded to the demands of those
who fiendishly clamored for the man's
life when the evidence did not, in my
opinion, show that he deserved death,
would have been inhuman; to have al
lowed them to quench their thirst for
his blood, in order to gratify their
wish for an example to be held up to
terrorize labor organizations, would
have been cowardly. I think a labor
ing man is entitled to the same rights
before the law as any one else no
more and no less. If this man had
not been a union labor man, there
would have been no one demanding
the forfeit of his life, and there would
have been no criticisms, attacks, and
misrepresentation of motives because
he was not hanged." Exchange.

Governor Deneen's habit is to do
what lies before him. He is a plain.
blunt man, addicted not so much, to
theory or expression as toshonesty and

stitutions in Illinois as elsewhere, have

would future carving be forbidden.
but actual disgorgement would be com
pelled. One Chicago critic recalls the
mood of Shakespeare's Pistol: "Con
vey, the wise it call : Steal ! foh : ' a
fico for the phrase! " At any rate, the
Governor decided that fees collected
by state auditors and treasurers for
the last thirty years had been collect
ed in defiance of the law, and he has
given notice that his Attorney-General
will collect arrears even to the
beginning. Some beneficiaries of this
easy political morality have hastened
to give up although, of course It
hurts. About $100,000 is retrained.
and this amount is likely to be doubl
ed, ihe total pie carved in defiance
of the law, in this particular regard,
is recHouea at sdzi,wu.t3. The nrin-
ciple, moreover, is salutary in the ex
treme. It strikes at Republicans and
Democrats with impartiality. And the
Governor is going on. He is quiet,
but he is thorough. State reformatory
ana cnantame institutions, usuallv
admirable fields for illicit gain, are
receiving nis attention. Deneen is
undoing some of the work done by
Governor Yates in this rich field: as
he has done in the Park Department
ana eisewnere. Although he calls
himself not a reformer, but a Dracti-
cal politician, he is making the para
sitic group of statesmen wish that Mr.
Deneen had never seen this earth;
but the people's valuation of him

PLAN FOR INSURANCE REFORMS.
"Initiative and Referendum Causes
Legal Complications;" "Many Details
of New Law Put People Entirely at
Sea;" "Candidates Puzzle Over Di
rect Primary" these are samples of
The long-looked for report of the
Armstrong insurance ' investigating
committee of the New York legisla
ture has at last been given out. It
suggests that laws be enacted forbid
ding corporations from contributing
to party campaign funds; urges that
it be made a penal offense for officers
of insurance companies to obtain loans
or speculate in stocks of subsidiary
companies; prohibits the control of
such companies by insurance corpora
tions; the mutual plan in insurance
companies is mad obligatory, great
er powers are conferred on the depart
ment of insurance to enable it to
supervise the actions of the compan
ies more thoroughly than it does now ;
uniform schemes of policies are re-
ommended; investments are to be
confined to real estate mortgages and
other safe interest-bearing bonds, and
publicity is planned whereby the policy-holders
can have convenient in
formation at all times regarding the
management and the condition of the
companies.
These are the principal features of
the reforms urged by the committee
to avert such wrongdoing by the in
surance companies' officers or their
friends as have been brought to light.
As the members of the committee
making the report are also members
of the legislature now in sessioa . at
Albany, there is a chance that their
ideas' may get into the statutes. New
York has a larger interest than any
other state in the general question of
insurance reform. Nearly all the big
companies make that state their head
quarters. They do more business
there than in any other state. There
is a special incentive for New York
to move promptly and intelligently in
reforming some of the many evils
in the life insurance management
which has recently been exposed. Gov.
Higgins has urged a thorough over
hauling of the insurance regulations
so as to meet the evils which have
just-been brought to light. Public
sentiment in New York, as well as in
the rest of the country, demands that
the management of the life insurance
companies be surrounded with safe
guards which will protect the interest
of the policy holders.
Pills for insurance refr.-m will be
brought before the legislatures which
are in session this winter. It is in
the course of the legislature of New
York, however, that national interest
will center;. New York's action will
doubtless be a model for the proced
ure in most of the other states. This
is not a question in which public in
terest I will subside at once. Life in
surance' is one of the vast concerns
of the American people. More money
is invested in life insurance policies
in the United States than in the whole
of Europe.
The business, too, is increasing
much faster here than it is elsewhere.
Every third or fourth person in the
country as a direct interest in the
honest and economical management
of the life and industrial insurance
companies. There is not the slight
est reason to fear that the wave of
insurance reform which is sweeping
across the country will work itself
out in' talk. Further investigation of
the companies, is to be ordered by
the New York legislature, for only a
few of them were examined. The
larger ones have nearly all been un
der the rack, but the methods of some
of the others will also be inquired into.
It is a large task, but New York has
an incentive to make it thorough. Un
doubtedly the result will be beneficial
