Senator Borah's friends made enough
noise over his '"vindication." But how
about his conscience?
Fairbanks la satisfied that a "cock
tall cuts a wider swath of destruction
than a two-edged sword.
The Eugene Register thinks wire
less politics would serve this country
better than wireless telegraphy.
Harry Orchard says the miners'
federation killed Brown. That settles
It; the miners 'federation has In Or
chard's statement a fairly good alibi.
A. hunter mistook a child at Hills
dale for a Chinese pheasant. It is a
dangerous proposition to place a gun
In the hands of many a man.
Just once more Senator Piatt arises
to remark that Mae Wood is not his
wife. To which one saucy editor re
plies, '"If she ain't she ought to be."
No wonder a certain class of poli
ticians are fighting Secretary Bona
parte. Word Is passed along the line
that the Secretary has abolished a
$1000 job in his office, that was no
longer needed.
Editor Bennett, of The Dalles Opti
mist, has served notice on his broth
er editors that he won't play In the
editorial back yard anymore. Well,
we guess the back yard won't be
boarded up Just because of Mr. Ben
nett's grumps.
H. F. Gibson, of Barton, was dis
playing to friends Monday the quinces
that he captured the first premium
with at the Fair. The larger of the
two weighed one and a half pounds
strong, and was a handsome speci
men of fruit.
A POLITICAL CATECHISM.
There Is an election not far oft and
we want to put a test to Enterprise
readers. If you can't answer all these
Questions what do you think of the
proposition that you are not well fit
ted to vote;
Who is the Governor of this State;
his polities?
How many Congressional districts;
In which do you live; who Is your
Congressman; his polities?
How many Senatorial districts; In
which do you live; who Is your Sen
ator; political complexion?
"Who is your Assemblyman; what
does he represent; what Is his poll
tics? Who is the Mayor; when doea his
term expire; what Is his polities?
How many Councilmanlc districts
in Oregon City; in which do you live;
who is you Councilman: what's
his iH)litics?
Who is the Sheriff of Clackamas
county; politics and expiration of his
term?
Sit down with a piece of paper and
figure this out without consulting any
authority or asking questions.
HARRIMAN CRYING FOR QUARTER
Harriman Is now asking for quarter.
President Roosevelt has proven too
much for him and his fleecing civ
workers, and being cornered he cries
for quarter like a coward. But why
give quarter? Why compromise with
the interest that ceased not to rob
until in danger of loosing all that It
had? What farmer would compro
mise with a skunk who had been steal
ing his chickens, once the skunk Is in
the farmer's trap, the skunk agree
ing as the price of liberty that he will
move on to some other farmer s hen
house? Yet that is what the cry for
quarter from Harriman and his associ
ates amounts to, for not one of them
have demonstrated their ability to
make money honestly, and we
doubt if they care to try. President
Roosevelt has now the upper hand In
this contest with predatory wealth,
and If the people will unite at his
back he can and will see that there Is
a readjustment of conditions and the
predatory rich are sent back Into the
corner where they belting. Let Har
riman and his horde cry for quarter,
Mr. President, but let them be shorn
of their power to do evfl before there
is any let-up In the crowding process.
THE
SENATORIAL SITUATION.
Mr. Lincoln Steffens. in his article
in the American Maga.iae, goes too
far or not far enough in his criticism
of Senator Fulton. The publication of
toe Brownell letter will have no great
effect, as the general public will not
greatly blame Mr. Fulton for trying
to shield the man who helped elect
him to the United States Senate; but
The hoodlum hazera of Corvallls

them last week, a wide berth. That

Fulton of being a corruptionlst, is a
more serious matter and should not
be permitted to rest. Senator Fulton
is a candidate for re-election, and.
though he is not an admirer of state
ment No. 1, has stated that if nomi
nated at the primaries and defeated
at the polls he will not go before the
Legislature, but will abide by the ex
pressed wish of the voters. This
means that his nomination at the pri

Citizens of Clackamas county need
not be discouraged if the expense of
keeping up roads and bridges in this
county cost more than anticipated,
and more than in many other counties
the country ovr. Clackamas county
lands lie in such shape that many and
expensive bridges are necessary. This
makes the per capita expense heavy
now that the country is pars'dv set
tled, as nearly as much bridging and
road Im-Idlng is male necessary as
conditions are nov as will be needed
when the country fills up later. lint
whe the country H filled up the per
capita will be much licht"r. and not
exceed to any considerable extent the
cost in other counties.

one who has watched the career of
this remarkable Wall street operator
suppose that the "inner circle" of
which he is the master spirit Is going

Will some one givp a gixnl and suf

stances, Harriman should not be in
jail? And if he should whose fault is
it that he isn't?

President Roosevelt has ncomn!is'ed
more in an effort to curb the power of

guess that Teddy vould f-nd couid

more than any Democrat 1'ait could

Roosevelt in the chair If he is willing

than the good of any party. And the
fact that the trusts would not support
