OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1906. 7 BROWN ELL'S CLACKAMAS ING. MEET- Clackamas, Ore, May 22. (To the Editor of the Enterprise.) Senator Brownell in his address at Clackamas said that he had formerly rode on a railroad pass, but does not do so now, although admitting that he had re ceived a great many passes from the railroads for other people. ' He stated that he had always fought the railroads and would continue to , - do so. He admitted that these same railroads had given him hundreds of passes for distribution during the past twelve years. He loses his case of self-evident contradictions in the statement of it. He would have his ' audience believe that he has grown so strong in "civic virtue", which he loudly preaches, that he now abhors the use of a pass himself, but at the same time is wil ling to procure railroad passes with which to impair the "civic virtue" of his neighbors. He procures these passes, too, from the very railroads he has been fighting for twerv'e years and whom he promis es to continue to fight. Now, if we accept Mr. Brownell's statement to be true, we are forced to adopt one or the other of the fol liwing conclusions, namely: j 1st. Either that the railroads have been fooled all the twelve years they have given the passes to Senator Brownell and his political friends, and have considered him their friend; or 2. That they have cheerfully given hundreds of passes to their publicly avowed enemy. It does not take the railroads twelve years to discover whether a state sen ator is a friend or an enemy. No one could be made to believe that the railroads give passes so freely to the man that is fighting them and has been for twelve years and promis es to continue to fight them. ( Who ever heard of anyone having a horse and buggy-or an automobile with which to give his enemies a free ride, and yet if we believe the pub lic statements Senator Brownell makes, this is just what the railroads are doing and have been doing for twelve years giving passes to their enemy. This condition of things might come to pass when the millennium is at hand, but not under the present order of affairs. It is only a piece of poli tical hctlon, conceived by Mr. Brown ell to mislead. No,--Senator, this explanation of the wholesale use of these free passes is not satisfying to the thinking element or your Clackamas andience. People who think cannot be made to believe that the railroads are giv ing away such a great money equiva lent, as these passes represent, to their avowed enemy, without the hope of anything in. return. Some of the stanchest friends of the railroads in the United States Senate at Washington that have been quietly fighting President Roosevelt and his railroad rate bill, have also been the loudest to shout for "civic righteousness" and to contend that they are with the President and against the railroads. . Senator Steve B. Elkins, of West Virginia, is of that class, but in order to be re-elected he has to stand with Roosevelt and his railroad policy, for West Virginia would turn him down in the coming election if he did not do so. Well how do such men as Elkins, Roosevelt, I believe with Govrnor Folk that the people should vote their partisanship a part of the time and their patriotism all the time. " , Respectfully yours, . C. F. CLARKE. CIRCULAR LETTER TO VOTERS. Oregon City, Oregon, May 22, 1906. To the Voters of Clackamas County, -Dear Husbands, Brothers and Sons: We, your wives, mothers, sisters and daughter, 'after having crossed the plains with you to build a new Land of Freedom, after braving the perils of starvation, Indian wars and frontier hardships, after tending your hearth fires for two generations and giving you the best of our lives for the con quest of the wilderness, today ask for the ballot. We have owned lands with you from the begiinning, have attend ed the same schools, and in no respect differ from you" in intelligence or in terest in the country- Brothers, the only people in Oregon who cannot vote are idiots, criminals, WILL HONOR NATION'S DEAD. Memorial Day Exercises to Be Held at Oregon City. insane Deople and women. It hurts Aldrich. Depew, Fcraker and all that our feelings to be so classed, we who class of Senators who are fighting foT have taught the schools of Oregon for special interests" get in to the Sen ate? Why the answer is easy, they place a trained politician in every county in the state from which they hope to be returned to the U. S. Senate and load them down with railroad passes and other perquisites wtth which to con trol and corrupt the people. Then these politicians take along some whiskey or other withals or have their friends do it, which is safer and preach "civic virtue," and "civic righteous ness." They- become the veritable apostles of "progress and civilization." until they gain the confidence of the people with the help of these railroad passes. I am a Roosevelt Republican and have an unaltering faith in his honesty of purpose to deal out justice fair and equitably between the railroads and the people and among all the varied interests of this nation, but the man who has been mixed up in so many en tangling alliances with the railroads as has Senator Brownell and whose position on these passes and other matters is so contradictory as his own public admissions prove them to be, is not worthy to be trusted as a friend of the people and of President Free 30 Days' Trial Free Saves your complexion.

Indians are voting now, American-born Chinamen, negroes, and foreigners after only a short res idence here, and yet we, daughters of the country, are shut out. We are interested in the same things that you are, in good men for office, in good laws and low taxes in fact, what are you interested in that does not. affect us? Are Indians, or Chinamen, or foreigners better able to decide these questions than we? If we had a vote, in a quiet, dignified way we could express our wishes with out undue publicity. Taxation with out representation is tyranny, are you less patriotic than our Revolutionary fathers? Will you not fight for this cause? The ballot for Oregon will do more for Oregon than the Lewis & Clarke Fair did in the wonderful new time so swiftly coming, hence, voters, we ask you to put an X opposite 302 on your ballot June 4th for the women of Clackamas county.

Receipts of Oregon City Office Entitle People to Service. The annual meeting of the grand lodge, grand encampment and the Re bekah Assembly, of Oregon, Independ ent Order of Odd Fellows, was held at Portland, beginning Tuesday morn ing, the sessions continuing until Thursday evening. The grand en campment met in the Artisan's hall on Third street, the Rebekah Assem bly in the I. O. O. F. temple, while the Grand lodge met Wednesday ev ening in the new K. of P. hall, Eleventh and Alder streets. The delegates from the Oregon City lodges, of this order were: Oregon Lodge No. 3, I. O.

Falls Encampment, I. O. O. F., was represented at the grand en campment by the past chief patriarchs of the order. Postmaster T.. P. Randall has re newed his efforts towards securing for Oregon City a free delivery of mail within the city limits. Mr. Randall appeared before the City Council last Friday night and explained that the receipts of the Oregon City office are now sufficiently large to . entitle this city to this service but that before the same could be established the Gov ernment requires that the houses be regularly numbered and the names of streets be posted. He asked the Council to take action toward having this done. On motion the matter was referred to the committee on Streets and Pub lic property with power to act in for mulating plans. This committee will prepare ordinances covering the sub jects presented and submit the same at an early meeting of the Council. Last year the receipts of the Ore gon City office exceeded the required amount of .$10,000, necessary for se curing free delivery service, but the department refused to grant free de livery at that time for the reason that after deducting the box rental re ceipts, the total fell below $10,000. For the year ending June 30, next, Postmaster Randall reports that the receipts of the office will be between $13,000 and $14,000, exclusive of box rentals, and it will be on this showing that the establishing- of a free deliv ery will be asked at this time r. .". y Ito Kind You Have Alwavs Boupi of WILL, ORGANIZE ROD CLUB. AND GUN Wall Harris, an employe in the Doernbecker furniture factory at Port land, was unable to report for work Monday morning and instead occupies a cell in the city jail here all because of a storm interview he had Sunday afternoon with R. D. Decker, whose daughter Harris has for some time been enamored of. For more than a . year Harris has persisted in showing attentions to Miss Decker, who is also a mute, not withstanding his suit was not encour aged by the girl and was firmly oppos ed by the parents. Sunday afternoon. Harris, partly intoxicated, went to the Decker home with the intention of exterminating the family as he an nouncedafter reaching the Decker's at Clackamas Heights. Upon reach ing the home of the Decker's, Harris was invited in and sat and conversed in the sign language with members of the family. Scarcely a half-hour had elapsed when Harris became an gered and announcing by his method of conversation that he intended to do bodily harm to the entire family, removed his coat in preparation, but before he got into action, Mr. Decker had siezed the feliow and thrown him headlong through a glass door. In his hurried exit, Harris ' received a severe cut on the back of the head be sides being otherwise disfigured while all of the fight was immediately tak en out of him. Officers were telephoned and inform ed that Harris had been seriously hurt. Deputy District Attorney Schue bel, Chief of Police Burns and Deputy Sheriff Brown procured a conveyance and brought Harris to this city where he was lodged in the jail after Dr. Mount had 'attended to his injuries, the gash in the head requiring six stitch es for proper treatment. When intoxicated, Harris is extreme ly troublesome, having about a year ago created a similar scene at the home of Decker's and all because of unrequited love for the young woman who still rejects his suit. Harris has been held to the circuit court in bonds fixed at $500. In default of bail he was committed to jail. Har ris is charged with threatening to com mit murder, the accusation being based on his assault of Mtes Decker's father. CAUGHT COLD WHILE HUNTING A BURGLAR. Mr. Wm. Thos. Lanorgan, provincial Constable at Chapleau, Ontario, says: "I caught a severe cold while hunting a burglar in the forest swamp last fall. Hearing of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, I tried it, and after using two small bottles I was completely cured." This remedy is intended es pecially for coughs and colds. It will loosen and relieve a severe cold in less time than by any other treatment and is a favorite wherever its super ior excellence has become known. For sale by Howell & Jones.
