PENSION FOR EVANS' WIDOW.
After a lifetime in the service of
his country Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans, "Fighting Bob," as his coun
trymen loveingly knew him, died a
poor man.
Practically all of his life, from the
time of the Civil War until his death,
Admiral Evans worked for his coun
try in the navy and received a3 com
pensation the few thousands, allotted
to his rank. He was at one time en
gaged in civil pursuits but these did
not prove remunerative and his activ
ities in this direction did not last
long. He was a fighting man, not a
business man. It is true that he had
opportunities to engage in question
able but profitable transactions, for
such chances always come with rank
and power.. But he held the honor
of the service as dearly as his own.
His death finds his widow, though
not in actual want, in limited circum
stances. The pension of $30 a month
she receives does not afford much
relief and a bill is to be introduced
in Congress to provide for an increas
ed pension and thus make sure of
comfort in the evening of her life.
The enactment of the proposed bill
would be the most practical manner
in which the country could show its
appreciation of the loyal and devoted
service it received from Admiral
Evans.
The proposition for state regulation
of barbers will undoubtedly start
many hair-raising arguments.

average English hostess would care for
tents so solidly and unimaginatively furnished." Perhaps he made a virtue
of necessity, knowing that the hoards of jewels belonging to the native princes
and their genius for display would make fruitless competition by any occi

which he seems to have followed throughout his Indian tour Our illustration

Bath is a city for which the Dickens

Bath in his early days, when engaged
on reporting work, and his tobacco jar

miles from Bath is the tiny village of
Pickwick, through which Dickens of

upon his most famous creation. Many

Morning Enterprise. To the Edi
tor: Is the registration or voters a
political machine or is it for the pur
pose of getting at a fair primary. Lets
see. When a citizen or voter goes to
register you are asked what your poll
tics are. If not a Republican or Dem
ocrat the clerk most Invariably will
say. "oh, you can't vote in the pri
mary," and will thereby try to in
duce, you to reglste- as one of the old
parties, with preference, of course,
as a Republican. I am not talking at
random. We had the experience, not
once, but twice in the same office, and
let me say I was a voter in Oregon
before the clerk or any of his debu
ties were born, and probibly have for
gotten more about the election laws
than they know. Now, don't think I
am your enemy.- I am not. I wa3
taught that our best friends are those
that tell us of our faults and give us
good advice.

voter what his politics are put down
the answer without dictation or ad
vice. If he says none of your busi
ness, write, refuse to say or indepen
dent. I had a conversation or argu
ment with a Democrat a week or so
ago in regard to the abuse of the
registration and primary. He said,
four years ago he registered as a Re
publican at the request of a Democrat
who wanted the clerk renominated.
When he went to register the clerk
told him he wanted him to register
as a Democrat to nominate the afore
said Democrat to a certain office. Does
that look like a machine? -
Politics is the science of govern
ment. If we have corrupt politics
we will have corrupt government.
Pure politics, pure government. '"Like
begits like."-
Say! Cail't we be honest in politics.
If not why not? Say, have the Assem
bly Republicans any kick coming at
the system of registration and pri
mary? I say yes. Why, pust because
a lot of people are falsefying the reg
istration, also the primary, is there
a remedy? Yes, register you poli
tice. Vote in your own primary. "Do
unto others as you wish them to do
to you."
Now in conclusion. If any one feels
aggrieved or think they have the right
to register other than their politics,
come back through the paper. If I
am wrong "we will acknowledge the
coin."
W. W. MYERS.
When shown Mr. Myers' letter, Coun
ty Clerk Mulvey gave the Morning
Enterprise a positive denial of the
statements contained therein and em
phasized the assertion that no attempt
had ever been made by himself or
any of his deputies to influence vot
ers who had come to the courthouse
to register. -
"There are a lot of newcomers in
Clackamas county," said Mr. Mulvey,
"who do not understand the Primary
Law and I think it Is only right that,
when any of these people, or anyone
else who I have reason to believe do
not understand the Oregon system,
tell us they want to register as an
Independent, we should tell them that
failure to register as a Republican or
Democrat will bar them from partici
pation in the primary election. In
every case, save one, the voter appre
ciates our interest In his behalf and
tells us so."
The Enterprise agrees with Mr. Mul
veys statement of the case, as this
newspaper knows that many voters
have not a full knowledge of the Di
rect Primary Law and these voters
are not aware, unless Informed, that
registration, as Independents nullifies
their right to vote at the Primary
elections.
