Entered at the postoffice at Oregon
City, Oregon, as second-class matter.
FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1906.
The primary election is over and
there is no use taking up time for any
lengthy discussion of the result. As
far as the ticket is concerned in the
main we believe good men have been
nominated and we want to see them
elected. The Enterprise will do its part
towards the election of every man on
the ticket with the exception of Geo.
C. Brownell. Every charge that the
Enterprise has made against Mr.
Brownell, it; now reiterates and stands
ready to prove to any man who is open
to conviction that ' these charges are
true. The Enterprise believes that
there are some things higher than loy
alty to pary. It believes that loyalty
to integrity, truth and decency come
before loyalty to party. The Enter
prise is opposed to Mr. Brownell be
cause he fulfills none of these qualifi
cations. In addition to these qualities
there is a further reason, why we can
not support him and that is that he
stands indicted in the highest court in
this nation. We do not believe that
the Republican party can afford to
stand for a man indicted for suborna
tion of perjury!
O- '
The saloons of Oregon City, under
Brownell's guiding hand, indorsed him
as their candidate in the primary elec
tion held last Friday. Word was then
passed to all of the saloons in Che
county to line up for Brownell as he
was the man they wanted. The saloons
are inviting upon themselves a fight
which they could avoid by a little de
cency and fairness in political matters.
If the saloons believe that they can

for the legislature just because they
can handle him and not in return get
hurt they mistake the temper of the
American' people. The average citi
zen will treat the saloon interests
fairly if the saloons do not undertake
to run the politics Qf the county and
state. But when the saloons undertake
to dictate who shall fill the various
offices, legislative and otherwise, then
the great conservative citizenship of
the community will assert itself. The
saloons are only inviting: prohibition
legislation and woman suffrage when
they take the course they have taken
in this primary election and undertake
to dictate the county and legislative
tickets.
him. The Enterprise: does not think
for a minute that he has anything of
this kind, that he stood up before his
audience and deliberately mis-stated
the facts for the purpose of deceiving
the Workingmen of Oregon City;, that
he did deceive them Is attested by the
vote. The Enterprise ' does not be
lieve that any laboring man In Oregon
City would vote for Mr. Brownell
knowing that he was indicted on suf
ficient grounds for subornation of per
jury. It was the labor vote of Oregon
City that nominated Mr. Brownell and
if. the labor vote had not been for him
he would have been defeated. The
vote of Oregon City alone nominated
Mr. Brownell. A change of seven
votes to the precinct would have de
feated Brownell.
, o '
GENEROUS AMERICA.
It requires that an opportunity be
but presented for an expression of the
generosity of the American people to
follow. Neither is the response long
delayed. It is spontaneous and in pro
portion to the needs.
Better evidence of this fact was per
haps never before offered than in the
recent catastrophe by which San Fran
cisco was visited. No sooner had the
news of the fearful visitation become
known than aid began to pour in from
every section of the country. Gener
ous cash subscriptions were "made,
supplies and clothing were contribut
ed, or purchased, and with the liberal
offer of -free transportation by the rail
road companies, these necessaries
reached the people of the stricken
city almost before the victims of the
frightful disaster began to suffer either
from lack of food or clothing.
This disaster to San Francisco, un
exampled in America, while it has re
duced to ashes the greater part of the
great western metropolis and render
ed a half million people homeless with
a property loss estimated at from
$200,000,000 to $500,000,000, will but
temporarily interrupt the great busi
ness life of this city. San Francisco
has rare resources and with the en
terprise of its people, its magnificent
buildings will be replaced, its vast
commercial relations will be re-established
and the city by reason of natur
al conditions will eventually become
a larger and grander city than ever
before. And until San Francisc and ,
its people are able to walk themselves.
they may be assured of a generous
assistance and co-operation from a
large-hearted and sympathetic Ameri
can people.
The people of Oregon City did nobly
and well in contributing to the aid
of the unfortunate people of San Fran
cisco and vicinity. A cash subscrip
tion approximating $2000 and several
carloads of clothing and supplies is
certainly a generous contribution from
the people of this city who find ample
reward for their work in the satisfac
tion they know accompanies an ac
ceptance of their donation to so worthy
a cause.
ines "want majority nominations , the
more certain it is that such nomina
tions are against the citizen's interest
On the other hand, however, free
and unrestricted plurality nominations
are open to almost equally strong ob
jections. The machine vote is com
pact and disciplined andwith a lot of
candidates in the running, it would
have a great advantage which it could
almost as effectively use for a "yel
low dog" as for a fit candidate. More
over, even with the machine of ac-
kcount, too long a list of candidates
might easily make a bad mess of the
election. An utterly unfit man might
have the personal qualities which
would gather him an utterly unfit fol
lowing, just big enough to beat all his
betters. That this. is no mere possi
bility but a condition to be reckoned
with among city voting populations
has recently been shown by experience
in localities where a simple plurality
is required, resulting in the nomina
tion of totally-unfit men by as low as
11 per cent of the vote cast.
Sound practical reasons, therefore,
make 1 it important that the new law
permit plurality nominations with a
reasonable limitation on the size of
the plurality required. Thirty-five per
cent of the vote has been suggested.
That would be as good a limit as any.
Protection at the top and at the bot
tom with a chance for a free fair fight
in the middle is what the voter" wants
and. what the new law should grant
him. Chicago Record-Herald.

consult your doctor. We know
what he will say about this
grand old family medicine.
This is the first question your doctor would
ask: "Are your bowels regular?" He knows
that dally action of the bowels is absolutely
essential to recovery. Keep your liver active

FOR A LIMITED PLURALITY.
One of the hardest fights over the

The most remarkable thing about
the President's speech last Saturday
is the hesitancy that the most public
men display in discussing it. Truly
it was a pretty startling speech for
the Senate- to listen to.' They sat
through the remarks on the Muck
Rake and applauded loudly. The
President was then hitting some of
the writers who have stirred up
trouble in the Senate and elsewhere,
both for the just and the unjust. But
when it came to the question of an
income and inheritance tax, the train
ed politicians scented danger afar off
maybe, but danger none -the less and
they not only sat deadly still; but they
have been dodging the ubiquetous in
terviewer ever since. The usual ex-
' cuse they make is that they have not
i yet had time to thoroughly look into
i the speech and decide what it is all
about. Now that speech needs very
little going into to decide as to its
meaning. It is a frank statement that
many of the private fortunes of this
country have grown so huge and the
"interests" they represent are so in
trenched that it is rapidly becoming a
question whether the moneyed men
shall control legislation or whether
legislation shall control them. Had
the great moneyed interests been con
tent to submit themselves to the law
and had they shown any disposition
to fair play, it would have been hard
to reproach any man for reaping the
fruits of his industry. But there is
no need to resort to the muck rake to
show that they have not played fair.
They have undertaken to set them
nothing occult and hidden in iL It
ts just the plain proposition, "Shall
we so control the vast accumulations
of wealth in this country so that they
can no longer menace the general well
being of the nation?" The rate bill
has been a great national problem to
date, but it looks as though it would
soon have to take a place as second
page reading matter in the shadow of
the larger problem that has been pre
sented for public discussion.

Importance of the Teeth
When a pretty girl parts rosy lips and reveals de
cayed teeth, inflamed gums and a disagreeable
breath, how quickly the charm is dispelled, and
how painful and mortifying must it be to her to
b e he victim of such a condition.
"Many adies whose faces are unattractive in re
pose, become positively charming when their
smiles reveal clean, white teeth, well cared for.
Though ladies may be dressed in the richest ap
parel, with eyes enchanting and features perfect, .
if they have decayed and broken teeth, diseased
gums and foul breath, their friends cannot ap
proach them without a feeling of repugnance.
In twenty-four hours we breath twenty-five thous

cate structure of the lungs when for days, months

hours' work will make, your mouth clean and
beautiful?
