THE RIGHT The ballot is the found
OF SUFFRAGE ation of the Ameri
can system of government. Its use
upon all questions is what makes the
United States the land that it is, and
that enables its people to settle their
difficulties without disrupting progress
of government or entering upon revolu
tion. E'ections are..probab;ly more
frequent in the United States than in
any other country, yet in spite of this
our governments, federal, state, coun
ty and city, are more stable than the
&u ci uuicu.o ul uaiitjiia Luai iuun up
on elections only as matters of last
resort. And all this because the aver
age American voter uses the ballot
' sanely and judiciously.
In this country there are three na
tional pastimes, baseball, politics and
pol;er. We devote a tremendous
amount of energy and thought to each
of them, and while to the outsider we
may seem to play them recklessly, the
true investigator finds a surprising
amount of skill hidden away in the
various moves and intricacies of each.
Particularly is this true of politics.
The average American can get more
joy out of politics than from either of
the other big national pastimes; and
can at the same time apparently befud
dle theissues and entagle in a hope
less snarl the principles involved and
then go out and vote with a clarity of
vision that is surprising, and that
proves the ability of the people to gov
ern themselves.
In Clackamas county today there
will be held a recall election. The peo
ple will decide whether Judge Beatie
and Commisioner Blair are to be re
placed by H. S. Anderson and J. W.
Smith or not. Every man and woman
In the county who is a true American
and who is interested in the matter of
public government will go to the polls
and vote. Each citizen will cast his
or her ballot according to. the way
that ho np ahA liaa rtotftpmi'ntwl will Vna
for the best interests of the commun
ity. The election will be like all oth
er American elections, quiet, orderly
and devoid of excitement. There will
be a radical change from the past fren
zied weeks, there will be none of the
"sport" of the game of politics in
stead there will merely be a proces
sion of individuals to the polls to reg-
ister their opinion.
That is the wonderful thing about
the right of suffrage as it is exercised
in the United States. Americans re
gard the ballot as their sacred gift,
and whili3 up to the dawn of election
day they may seem to be swayed by
- Ytn -ro r-w7 rm oaliiia -t ohiiaiva tiroJoe
of one side or the other, they cast
aside their frenzy when the time to
vote comes, and do their duty at the
polls as they would perform any of
the solemn rights of citizenship. Am-
Peace Maintained
By ELIHU ROOT. United States Senator From New York
WE hear much of peace today, hut let me tell you- the peace of the
world is MAINTAINED BY THE GREAT GOVERNMENTS
OF THE WORLD.
IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS, BUT THE PEOPLES, FROM
WHOM THE DANGER OF WAR COMES TODAY AND WILL ALWAYS
COME SO LONG AS THEY FAIL TO EXERCISE PROPER SELF RE
STRAINT AND THE COURTESY THAT THE PEACE OF THE WORLD
DEMANDS.
; We in America must learn that we CANNOT CONTINUE A
POLICY OF PEACE WITH INSULT. We must learn civility. We
must learn that when an American sovereign speaks of the affairs of a
foreign nation he must observe those rules of courtesy by which alone

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
erican people before .election seem to
the rest of the world to be mad, and
to be threatened with revolution; on
election day the rest of the world mar
vels at the simplicity of the system
through which the popular "will is so
uniformly expressed. j
And so it will be today. Voters of
Clackamas county will make their way
to the polls to register what they be
lieve in their hearts to be the right.
Before today they have listened to the
arguments of the opposed sides, and
while they may have laughed or jeered
or cheered while listening, they have
a'so baen storing away in their minds
the evidence that has been laid before
them by Judge Beatie and Commission
er Blair and their supporters on the
on hand, and by Mr. Anderson and Mr.
Smith and their supporters on the
other. These bits of evidence they
have weighed, and upon them they
have based their decision, which they
will express through the ballot in ev
ery precinct of this county. They will
forget the mouthings of the opposition,
and will remember only the evidence
laid before them.
No master how people vote they will
be sincere. They will vote as free
and equal Americans, and because
they are Americans; not because they
may own property, or have a certain
amount of education, or because of any
other requirement. They will vote be
cause they are free men and free
women, and they will vote honestly
for what they think is best. .
Some of them will vote for the re
tention in office of County Judge R.
B. Beatie and County Commissioner
Blair because they believe that they
have properly conducted themselves,
that they have wisely and economical
ly administered the affairs of the
county, that they have proved them
selves to be true representatives of
the people, and because they believa
that they ought to be defended against
the charges that have been laid
against them by Ed Olds, W. H. Hage
mann, The Oregon City Courier and
others. People who will vote to sup
port the county administration will do
so because they think it shameful to
blast the reputations of Judge Beatie
and Commissioner Blair solely, as they
think, to satisfy those who may have
personal grievance against them. They
will vote for the men facing recall be
cause deep in their hearts they believe
that exercise of the recall in this in
stance is unjust.
On the other hand, there will be
citizens who will go to the polls
and vote to drag these two county
officials from office and replace
them by H. S. Anderson and J.
W. Smith because they believe
the charges made against them, be
cause they think the county affairs
may be better managed by new men,
because they regard Mr. Anderson and
Mr. Smith as better fitted to repre
sent the people than anyone else, and
becuase they disapprove the things
that the present officials have done
for the advancement of the county.

HIS EAR WASN'T CUT OFF AT ALL.
Did you ever hear the story of the
"war of Jenkins' ear?"
Its an Interesting bit of history,
burled in England's story and resur
rected every once in awhile by moraK
ists.
The story goes that the Spanish,
along about the beginning of the eight
eenth century, caughtan English cap
tain named Jenkins engaged in illegal
trade.
Jenkins went back to England and
told "his fellow countrymen that the
terrible dons had cut off his par.
Fearful crime!
He showed a severed ear, and Eng
land went' wild about it. War was de
clared Men were killed and wounded,
and ships were . captured and. their
crews sold into slavery, and towns
were burned, and women and little
children were made homeless.
, All because of an ear!
But after many years the truth came
out. Jenkins bad the two ears with
which Mother Nature had provided
him. His ear had never been cut off
at all. Some money hungry doctor
bad sold him an ear to show, or per
haps he had robbed a grave.
But the men killed in the war were
just as dead , as If they had died In
a righteous cause.
Now. before men or nations get Into
a fight wouldn't it be well to be sure
that the Jenkins in the case had really
lost his ear?
And wouldn't it be well to decide, it
be really lost an ear, whether the ear
was .worth fighting about?
When your neighbor tells you he has
bad his ear cut off by another man
of course you understand that only a
figurative ear Is meant just part his
hair and be sure that the ear is gone.
Jaybe his grievance Is imaginary and
lie basn't really lost an ear at all.
And. when you think you have been
deprived of something that belongs to
you. be sure, first, that you have lost
it and. second, that you did not de
serve to lose it.
It would be well for nations to act
in the same way. There would be
fewer wars to spread death and deso
lation over the earth. More plowshares
would be beaten from swords, and the
supply of pruning hooks would be In
creased by those made from spears.
THE CHEERFUL SOUL
They tell you that habit recon
ciles you in time to many unwelcome
things. Let us not trust to this alone.
Custom, indeed, sweetens the rug
ged lot whenthe cheerful soul is in
it. It does but embitter it the more
when the soul stays out of it

ELECTRICAL WORK
Contracts, Wiring and Fixtures
WE DO IT
Miller-Parker Co.
Transmitting Electricity.
When an electric current flows
through a conductor it is not sent or
pushed through, like a fluid in a pipe,
but is rather banded on from particle
to particle. In other words, it Is a
transfer of electrical energy which can
be illustrated by setting up a row of
rubber balls tangent to each other.
Now, if we strike these balls at one
end the energy will be transferred
from ball to ball and can be utilized at
the other. Here we had no actual
flow, and yet the energy was transfer
red from one end to the other.
The basic units which we use are the
unit of the rate of flow, pr ampere; the
unit of electrical pressure, or volt, and
the unit of resistance to flow, or the
ohm. Aera.
