THKCHOIOKOPTHE 1'KOI'Lti FOlt
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Tlie most vttnl question boforo tho
peoplo of Oregon today, in connection
with the work of tho forthcoming son
nion of tho logislnturo, is: who
should bo our uoxt United Htatos sona
'tor? Thoro mo only n tow mora clays in
whioli to solvo thin problem, to fraught
with motnoutouR cfJBldoratlons to tho
peoplo of ono of tho gronteat states of
the West of tho Union, in fuot.
Tho Now Ago will ndhoro strictly to
the proposition Hint tho solution of
this mattor should ho rollyionsly, in
harmony with tho common interests of
the niaagoa, and, thoroforo, iu sym
pathy with tho ohiof intoroiits of tho
state. Tho politionl olomeut of tho
question should bo Rocoudary, as far iih
may be mado so in tho mattor of repre
sentation iu tho groat Icgislntlve body
of tho United States.
First of nil, wo want a stalwart Ho
pablican of character and ability, not
only ropronoutatlvo of tho tonoto of tho
particular party to which ho liolonus,
lint idontlllud in spirit and effort with
tho grunt commurolal and industrial
interests of Oregon ,
Wo want n man wIioho IiuhIiiob ox
jwrionco and lnlluonco will onahlo him
to aaconiillh much for tlio ponplo
whoso uommmonwoalth is row huddiug
ho promiNliiKly into tho grandeur of
ambitious Htatohood.
Wo want a man of irroproachablo
oharactor pornoiially, and ono wIioho
interests aro oommou with thonu whom
he will bo chosen to reprosont at tho
nation's capital.
We want a man who stands aloof
from and above tho potty politics of
factions, and who is broad enough and
big enough to defend the interests of
all,, alike, irrespective of party and
party schisms. " ' "5 J
Wa want a man free frolu tho clash
of personal antagonisms and the trill
iag quarrels among men.
We wauta man of brains, of correct
ideas, of forco and of keon foresight
a man who knows tho noods of tho stato
and has tho courago to protect and ad
vance thorn.
We want a man, in short, who will
ntand as n pool of tho loading states
men of tho nation ono who may oaHily
and swiftly author about him tho in
fluences necessary to a successful caroor
la the greatost body of olltlcal legis
latois on ourth.
Ily extended experience, by exten
sive investigations, by couiciontlous
study of tho great issues boforo tho
pablic and a carefully guarded knowl
edge of the trend of popular seutimout,
wa flud snoh a mau in tho person of
Hon. II. W. Corbett, who by right of
impartial choice should today ho repre
senting us iu the halls of the senate.
Mr, Corbett, a a a plouoer businoe
man, Iibh aidod largely and with a
strong hand to guide tho ship of state,
aotil Oregon stands today a "brght,
particular star" in tho galaxy of states.
Terhaps no otnor poison in Orcgou,
agaged iu commercial pursuits, has
doae so much iu advancing the business
interests of its people The faot that
he has growu rich at his several re
sponsible employments, by dint of hard
work aud well directed application to
his business, has created in uarrow
minds a degree of prejudice from which
emanates the trilling opposition to his
candidacy now; but that fact, on the
contrary, should bo regarded as a mer
ited meed of praise iu his behalf, for
who would choose a mau to do busi
ness for the publio who had signally
failed iu accomplishing business for
himself?
Mr. Corbett is knowu as a sturdy,
stalwart character, not only iu Oregou,
bat throughout the whole Uuited
ritates. In political life, as iu his
commercial strifes, he has been iueor
raptible, Always with sound opinions
ia natters of pulhtu Importance, he
has also always beeu fotemost iu sup
porting aud defending the houor of Ihe
nation aud the integrity of his party
lie has for yean held the Vluoerest
Usn of the thinking masses, who to-
ay suiva Housing out approving worth
of his publio and privnto courro, both
iu politics and bueness, for a period of
more than a quarter of a century.
As tho New Ago has boforo had oc
casion to lemnrk, liou. II. IV. Corbett
is at this time first in the hearts of the
best peoplo of the stato and first in the
minds of tho leaders of Oregon's legis
lativo body as a legislative candidate
for tho United States senato. It would
in reality, be a publio calamity to al
low any narrow minded influouco at
this time to embarrass tho certainty of
his election.

The people of the United 8tatis are
getting more careless. The report or
the superintendent oC the (dead, letter
olllce makes that point clear. During
the last fiscal year ending Juno 80 they
madu 10 per cent more mistakes lu di
recting and mailing their letters and
packages than In the year befote. Al
together there were no lets thaht7,D3i),
ir8 mistakes handled by the dead let
ter clerks during the twelve, months
covered by the report. During tho year
ending June .'10, 1800, the totnl number
was 0,855,083.
Of the more than seven and. a. half
million pieces of mall matter received
ut the dead letter olllce during the last
year 5,302,800 were what tho4 experts
call "ordinary unclaimed letters." An
"unclaimed letter" Is one which for
Home reason does not reach the person
for whom It Is Intended. The reasons
why letters do not reach the person for'
whom they are Intended nro various.
The person to whom a letter Is ad
dressed may havo moved away, leaving
no new nddrcBs behind him, or he may
be dead, lu which case the correspond
ent cannot bu properly blnmcd.fbr care
lot guess. On tho other bund, there
were handled during thu year 22,7113
letters and packages which were mis
directed by the senders. No less than
01,038 letters and parcels were' put In
the mall boxes, properly stamped, but
without addresses of any kind 'on the
wrappers. Peoplo seem io bo more
careless about addressing packages
than lotto, for af the totul found with
blank envelopes or wrappers 32,000
were parcels. Stranger still, uo less
than 15,000 letters weiu found Inclosing
money lu different amounts, and with
perfectly blunk euvelopcH. '
Another thing which houds many let
ters and parcels to the dead letter olllce
Is the cusioiu of mailing matter to peo
ple In euro ol n hotel at which they may
bu temporarily stopping. When tlie
letter arrives the person to whom It Is
uddicssed 1ms moved on to some other
town aud has neglected to loayo any
directions for forwarding his mall. Lust
year 208,307 letters originally scut to'
hotels came back to 'he dead letter
olllce.
Other people Insist on puttingletters
nnd packages Into .ibV mails, properly
addressed, peruses, WHt,WtboHt a cent

Even the rfifiVmt"i man liiione to
the trouble aud expense of having a let
ter or package rcglstcied doeatnot al
ways prevent hi in from mlHdlfejjtlng It
or making It Impossible In some other
.vay to deliver It. Thus durlug thu
vear there- wiTo 10,100 registered let
.era nnd parcels sent to the dead letter
)lllce for one catisu or unotlier. Still
more remarkable Is thu fact that young
men nnd women who bavo reached
xuch a stago lu affairs or the heart that
tin Interchange uf photographs seems
hiecessury aro also careless lu sendlug
their pictures on tender in sslous. Tho
yieuil letter otllco accumulntcd durlug
tho year n choice collection of nearly
tW.OOO photographs, inaily of them ac
companied by honeyed messages. Uy
way of stilling anxious hearts It should
bo stated without delay that uo letter Is
read In the dead letter ottlec If the ad
dress of the sender can be obtained lu
any other way and that of the photo
graphs received 43,000 were safely re
turned to tho owners before the" close or
the yenr. ,.
Another class which contributes
largely to tho receipts of the dead lotter
ottlec Is made up of people who fall to
read tho postal regulations before put
ting their letters and packages In tho
malls. Thus glass bottles aud similar
articles are often 'deposited lu tho
malls, most of which get to .the dead
letter otllco sooner or later. Sometimes,
too, articles aro mailed which are above
tho weight limit of mailable. parcels.
Altogether more than 10.000 packages
coming under these heads were sent to
the dead lotter bureau durlng'tho year.
A few more than lr7,000 letters and
packages are recorded on the. lists of
the dead letter otHco aa having been
originally mailed to flctltlouaaddrcss-

A ridiculous ami yt trely an
nojinft class, or mistakes groVri out of
tlie custom of giving a ho'raeateai! or
country rcsUlouce a funcy naate, as. for
Instnnco, "Maple (Hen" or "Miss Itoso

of such places seem to often gn the
Men that the funcy name of tbq real

and thousands of letters cobm In di
rected to "Mr. John Jones, Cool Vale
Villa." and similar absurdities Some
times these fancy nanus refutable the
names of postottlces tn different parts
of th country, aud as a result, the un
fortunate letters sometimes fe from
Btate to Stato In vain search of the
Kproper man. Aa tun esultefjoug ex
perience with this class of mMlrected
letters the postotHce lithorMes bare
compiled a list of more .thwT 100,000
fancy names of the lend, accompanied
with the proper names and addresses
of the people who arc resfwaatble for
them. Uy reference to tnls;ltst It Is
often poss'ble to Identify thtpersous
for whom such leitera are la:de).
Almost all the matter wMe.fwa to
the dead letter oWce, prorW It con
tains anything of value, to MMr or
lovsefor Carelessness
later delivered either to tlie people for
whom It was Intended or to the original
senders. Thus- during the year there
were restored to the owners 30.000 let
ters containing checks, drafts, notes,
money orders, etcJ, to the totnl value
of $1,005,520. Tosh, In coin and cur
rency, td tho amount of $30,000 was
found lu 20,000 letters aud sent hack
to tho people who originally mailed It
Nearly 1 70,000 letters containing post-
ago stamps were returned to owners
who found themselves better off to tho
extent of $0,500 because of tho caro of
tho dead letter olllce.
Whenever It Is possible to get tho
name, aud address or the sender mnll
matter which reaches the dead letter
olllce Is sent back without being
opened. That the precaution or print
ing or writing a return request on tho
.nvclope Is not geuerally rollowcd, at
least by people whose letters reach this
otllco, Is shown by the fact that It -was
possible to send back without opening
only 17,000 out of more tliau 5.000,000
"unclaimed letters." At the same time
the experts were able Without opening
the letters to study out and correct tho
addresses of 05,000 misdirected letters
so that they were dually delivered to
thu persons ror whom they wcro In
tended. ,
l.t wns round necessary by the ottlec
to open more than 0,075,000 pieces or
mall matter In order to get any clew to
Its destination or origin. Of this great
number the proper addresses for nearly
2,000,000 pieces were secured by rend
ing and tho matter sent promptly to
Ihe 'proper parties.' In the samo wny
proper directions weie found for, mail
ing 41,000 Important letters containing
deeds, bonds and other valuable pa
lters. About 7,000 letters aud packages
were returned after being opened to tho
people who originally ma led them.
Thu dead letter olllce experts havo
found by experience that It Is usually
women who .rail to sign their full
names or to date their letters. A man,
as a rule, writes his namo out In full,
hut many women, particularly when
writing to Intimate friends, sign simply
"Annie" or "IJess," nsthe casu may be.
After letters aud packages have been
opened und every attempt has been
mado In vain to tlnd the name and ad
dress of either the senders, or or tho
persons, far whom, they aro Intended
they arc' wrapped up. If they contain
anything of value, and placed on filo
subject To reclamation at any time dur
ing the Btihruoyenrs:' 'r0 the files
jot too previous two years 124,000 pieces
were fdded during the twelve-month
ending June 30.
Tho mall mutter containing nothing
of ynlue aud which cannot In auy way
bu Identlilcd Is destroyed. Altogether
4,300,000 pieces were thus given to the
Humes during tho year.
After uncalled-for pieces of mall mat
ter containing property of valuo nave
lieen kept on Hip for three years they
arc put up and sold nt auction. Tho
proceeds of the miction held this year
were $3,027. In addition the dead let
ter otllco has another source of Income
In the money and stamps fonnd In tho'
malls wlth.uothlug to glvo any clew to
their rightful owners. Near; $11,500
was found loose In the malls durlug the
lust year. '
Tho "Good Mother" Oflea Bad.
Tho so-called "good mother" Is too
frequently really a bad one. She makes
of her children monsters of selfishness,
nud never ends ber voluntary slavery
to them. So far as bIio Is concerned, as
a mother finds her chief Joy In being
"tromped on" by her boys and girls, no
ono need complain; but the troublo Is.
It ruins tho children. Tley grow up In
to HcltlBh, lll-brtd, dictatorial men and
women, without self-control, discipline
ofunlud or body, and utterly Ignorant
of that flower of courtesy which each
humun being should wear fortver, fresh
und fadeless, making tho wearisome
places of human life endurable by Its
charm. The most beautiful girl In the
