City, Oregon, as second-class matter.
ENOUGH OF BROWNELL.
There exists throughout the county
a universal sentiment that we have
had enough of Brownell and his double
dealing. This feeling is not confined
to any one or two localities. It is
general. Reports confirming this dis
satisfied condition are received from
every precinct in the county.
In the words of the old German,
"Too much is too plenty" and the pa
tients of Clackamas county have
thoroughly tired of Brownell's pre
scriptions and his feats of legislation
legerdemain.
It is a difllcult matter for the Clack
amas county voters to find justifica
tion for the candidacy of Senator
Brownell for another term in view of
the fact of his indictment by a Feder
al Grand Jury. Might not Congress
men Hermann ana Williamson as
conscientiously appeal to their con
stituents for indorsement in the way
ef re-election? Was not Brownell in
dicted by the same grand jury that
x charged these Congressmen with
trooked work?
But then you say Brownell has to
deal only with Clackamas county peo
ple who like to be humbugged. It
is true the voters of this county have
been repeatedly buncoed in the past
by their State Senator who, as the
servant of the people, has rendered
such valuable service to corporate in
terests during his service in the Leg
islature. After each of these periods of mis
representation in the State Senate,
Brownell has returned to his constitu
ents and actually convinced them with
amazing success that he did his very
best for them.
Not only this but he has repeatedly
declared publicly that under no cir
cumstances would he be a candidate
to succeed himself. But when the
time for electing a Senator arrives, he
is always foremost in the field and the
voters of the county, under his hyp
notic influence, rally around the stand
ard and again elevate him to a posi
tion where he can thoroughly "do"
' them.
Politics in Clackamas county has
gone "according to programme" about
as long as a patient audience will tol
erate the entertainment. A change
of talent is desired.
The people now have the power to
nominate their own candidates, re
gardless of the machine and its meth
ods, and if asChange is desired, it
can be had. It is up to the people
themselves.
Otherwise no complaint can be made
if the Senator from Clackamas is re-
The ample majority by which the
statehood bill was passed by the House
carries with it a lesson which should
appeal to such Republican Senators
as had intended to oppose their party
on that or on any other measure. On
every phase of the proceedings on the
statehood bill the friends of that
measure were masters of the situa
tion. They made their own rules and
enforced them. The bill was passed
on schedule time, and it was passed in
precisely the form which its friends
promised. The Republican seceders
made loud boasts, but they and their
Democratic allies were easily over
thrown. The record on the Philippine
bill was the5 same. Both measures
were opposed i by an element of the
KepuDiicans, dui Dotn went inrougn
the House at the time and in the shape
which the Republican organization in
that chamber decreed.
It will be well for the insurgents in
the Senate, if there are any, to take
notice of the fate of their friends in
the House. The country wants the
Philippine and the statehood bills to
be enacted. The Republican majority
in the House have done their part to
ward putting these measures on the
statute book. Both are soon to be
brought up in the Senate. It is Cer
tain Vi f tho Wmino will Tint rp'Ofl
from the position which it has taken.

Because we make medicines

about Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,

you can afford to trust it.

of the defeat of these bills, if they are
to be defeated. A change of either
measure in any essential point will
mean its defeat, for the House, know
ing the country is behind it, will stand
its ground. This is a consideration
which is bound to have a good deal of
influence over such Republican Sena
tors as have been contemplating op
position to their party on these issues.
The Republican party has a large ma
jority in the Senate, as it has in the
House,' but the Republican who goes
over to the Democrats on any impor
tant measure must expect to have
his record scanned closely when he
asks for re-election by . Republican
votes.
What is said here about the Philip
pine and the statehood bills is true
also of railroad rate regulation. The
statehood and the Philippine measures
have gone to the Senate. A few days
hence the railway rate bill will be sent
thither. There is a practical unani
mity in the House on rate legislation,
as is shown by the vote which the bill
was reported to that chamber. Not a
member of the committee declared
against it. Democrats and' Republi
cans were all aligned on its side. There
is a possibility that a few votes may
be cast against it in the House on the precipitate nor yet very dilatory when
final division, but it will, have a sup-lone comes to think of it. A dozen

ton. Among these Is the suggestion
of a constitution for China. . Now this
is not only news but to the average
hearer is quite unbelievable. Yet it
is made by such an authority as Ow
yang King vice consul at San Fran
cisco, who is with the party, and to
all appearances Mr. Owyang not only
takes' his own announcement in per
fect good faith, but seems surprised
that it has not been understood on
this side before. According to Consul
Owyang the Son of Heaven is tired of J
the cares and responsibilities of an ab- j
solute monarchy and contemplates j
limiting his own powers after he shall j
have fully digested the report of his
commissioners and gradually prepared
his people for the new order of things. J
It is not intimated that this change in f
Chinese home affairs is to be anything
sudden. Ten or twelve years is put as
the earliest at which a constitution is
to be announced. This does not sound

bill in the Senate is on the same lines
as the Hepburn measure which will
pass the House. Each represents the
views of the President and of the Re
publican leaders. On this issue the
popular chamber stands on solid
ground. The masses of the people
who gave Roosevelt his 2,500,000 plur
ality in 1904 are behind Speaker Can
non and the Republican leaders of the
House on this measure. The Demo
crats are in line with the Republicans
on it.' No Republican can afford to op
pose it. There are especially strong
incentives in this exigency for the Re
publicans to get into line. These three
important measures are sure to be en
acted. The member who votes against

solute power- and working out a con
stitution for his country based on the
report of his two commissions that
are now studying Europe and the
United States, then a decade is a rea
sonable enough time in which to do
it. It will take longer than that to
educate the Chinese people up to the
proper use of even a decidedly re
stricted franchise, and it would look
to the outsider as though the Emper
or were going about his self appointed
task in a strikingly common sense
way. One can easily say that a consti
tution of the right sort would be the
making of china. She is the loosest
sort of a confederation in her present
form and the sense of national duty
and of patriotism in her people is to
a western mind, curiously wanting.
But one can easily conceive how a
moderately planned constitution would
tighten up the national bands . and
make the Great Sloth among nations
play a very much more important
part than she has hitherto' done. .There
are one or two -things in the way of
this constitutional Utopia. One would
be enough and that is that the Em
press Dowager is ruling to all intents
and purposes and if the constitutional
idea does not happen to meet with her
approval the son of Heaven may die
some summer as Kipling says "of
cholera, the white arsenic sort."

This suggestion on the part of the
Greenwood correspondent is most
timely and proper. He has a right
conception of what goes to make up
an. interesting and readable county
newspaper. Correspondents general
ly will find that their efforts in chron
icling the happenings of their respec
tive localities will be the greater ap
preciated if they will devote a little
more space to noting facts pertaining
to the growing of crops and other news
of an agricultural character. If Mr.
Brown is successful in growing a good
crop of grain from a field that in the
past had been practically unproductive
and worthless, report that fact and ex
plain the details of the methods adopt
ed. Similar mention should properly
be made of another farmer who is as
successful in the breeding of a partic
ular line of stock. It is these inter
change of ideas that is helpful to the
farmer and does much towards In
creasing interest in the farm besides
promoting this important industry.

There is one thing the voters must
remember and that is in order to
vote at the Primary nominating, elec
tion in April they must properly reg
ister, stating their political affiliation,
prior to April 10. If electors find it
inconvenient to come to the office of
the County Clerk for this purpose,
they should make it a point to attend
some of the many meetings that are
accord with the standard established
by the good roads association. Sena
tor Fulton is urging the county -commissioners
of all the counties in the
state to attend this work, and hopes
the government's offer will result in
the spread of extensive knowledge on
the subject of road building. The
date for the work will be announced
