Proved Ability.
Washington, Dec. 14. Tho ability
of tho government navy yard to turn
out warships equal In all respects to
thoso built under contract, in tho opin
ion of Hear Admiral Capps, of tho bu
reau of construction of tho Navy, in his
annual report, has been fully demon
strated. Ho urges that at least ono
yard on tho I'aciflc const and ono on
tho Atlantic coast, when practicable,
should bo given a reasonablo propor
tion ol now construction work in ordor
that such yards may always bonvailahlo
for,any work tho government may do
sim to undorlako therein.
Admiral Capps admits that it costs
less to build a warship by contract by
reason of tho shorter hours of labor,
paid holidays, vacations, etc., granted
to navy yard employes, but ho believes
novcrtholerri that tho government should
bo always prepared to turn out its own
chips in times of emorgeny. Tho lack
of suitable, docking facilities at Norfolk
and Maro Island is commented upon as
boing especially embarrassing to tho
bureau, as no battleships of any class
win bo docked at either of thoso yards.

aneso dolivcry driver. In an instant
100 angry Jnpancso and a scoro of

"Conio on, all of you," ho cried.

Thero was souio criticism today of

The New Age hat uld before and It
now says again that It does not be
lieve, that the next legislature will
elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United
State- senate. It has been said that
our opposition to Mr. Bourn I. i.
plred by prejudice, and that we can
give no good reason for opposing him
since he waa regularly named by the
republican voters for tho office.
We oppoged Mr. Bourne during the
primaries for the reason that we knew
him to be unfit for the high office to
which he aspired.
First That he Is not a loyal and
consistent republican.
8ecotld That he It a traitor and
political black-leg.
Third That he could not be depend

If he had been a loyal and consistent
republican he would not havtdetertee)
hit party In the hour of itt dire dis
tress, when the blight of Bryanlom and
populism overshadowed the country In
1906. But at a true and loyal repub
lican would have put self aside and
rendered whatever service he could
for hit party and hit republican
frlendt. If Bourne't will had prevailed
and Bryan had been elected who can
tay that there would have been today
a ttrong. Invincible republican party
In Oregon to honor him for hit perfidy,
The legislative session of 1895 waa
the most spectacular In the history of
Oregon and the King Pin of that ses
sion was J. Bourne Jr., whose mal
odorous record Is even yet a stench In
the nostrils of decent people, with a
goodly supply of money and other cor
rupting Influences the trick of thwart
ing the will of the people and debauch
ing the honor of the citizenry was the
special mission of this political monte
bank, who, now, ten short years after
ward, has the braxen effrontery to seek
this high and honorable DOaltlon at '
the handt of the party, whose murder
he conspired to bring about.
In the light of the past record of
Mr. Bourne, who Is so unsuspecting as
to trust him In the future? Does any
one who knows him, save his hired
henchmen, think for a minute that he
can be depended upon to stand up for
republican principle and policies In
the United States senate, and to up
hold the hands of life-long, true and
tried republican leaders In that body,
and to "stand pat" with the party's
matchless leader, mote profound
ttateman, patriot and humanitarian
