STATE POLITICAL DISCUSSION
What Ih Yonr Vote "Worth to Yon?
Pendleton Tribune
Shall Republicanism be upheld In Ore
gon Is the Important question before the
voters of the state. Exalted far above
the heads of party leaders, of candidates
for offices, of local Issues, and of petty
and personal strifes stand the great prin
ciples of the party that has made this
euch a mighty nation during the last 40
years. Factional quarrels In Republican
ranks and the claims of the Democrats
in their platform and on the stump pale
Into insignificance -when compared -with
the great principles of government advo
cated by the National Republican party,
and its faithfulness and ability to keep
Its promises to the people and to carry
out the principles it proclaims. Not only
does it fulfill its promises, but it has
shown power and quickness In meeting
new and unexpected problems that have
arisen. Its basic principles are right
and its conduct Is logical. Ever since
the das of Lincoln, whenever the Repub
lican party was In power, the nation was
prosperous. American people were hap
py, busy, energetic and hopeful. But ex
perience has proven that whenever the
Democrats have bold of the reins of gov
ernment, an unhappy, discontented peo
ple is the result. However the Demo
crats seek to explain this, it nevertheless
remains true. Panicky times follow
Democratic misrule, business is soon at a
standstill, then uncertain. Money goes
out of circulation because of doubt of
the party's financial methods. A gen
eral lethargy takes possession of the peo
ple. Enterprise and energy become too
conservative, and the man with money
hesitates to invest it. Retrenchment be
comes the order of the hour. People eat
less and wear cheaper and buy fewer
clothes. Tie markets contract, manu
factured articles and the produce of farm
and range seeks farther to And a pur
chaser. The laborer Is paid less ana
finally thrown out of employment alto
gether. Then it is that the country is
overrun with the unemployed who develop
into tramps and hobos, thousands of
which were made by the Cleveland times
of 'S3, and which still Infect the country
from ocean to ocean. These things hap
pen, and there is no denying them. Good
reasons, deep reasons must be the "why
and the wherefore.
Are we as voters going to Ignore all of
these facts, which are still unerased from
our minds, the imprints left there by ac
tual experiences? Do we want any re
turn of '93? It is sometimes difficult to
realize how such results came about.
How principles, abstract to most of us,
can so affect industrial conditions. We
feel the effect in our own communities,
but we perhaps try to attribute it to our
selves as individuals or to some local
cause. But the same conditions exist in
every community, and when we add them
all together we have the great American
nation. Solmnly ask yourself this ques
tion, "If a Democrat were President and
both houses were under control of the
Democrats, how would I feel about my
property and my business?" "Would you
go ahead as usual or would you hesitate
on making iew ventures? Would you be
willing to risk loans or carry a moderate
loan on your property? Would you not
prefer to be out of debt and doing a
smaller business? Or if you had money
to loan would you not rather keep it In
the vault, or wouldn't you feel safe only
when It was in gold and burled in the
ground, with the secret of the hiding
sealed in your own breast?
These are simple, plain questions the
voters should ask themselves before cast
ing their ballots in June. Will you stand
by tne Republican party for what It has
done In the past, for what it is doing
now and for what it -will do? Can yon
conscientiously vote against the princi
ples you know to be right, both from rea
son and experience? Your mind perhaps
has been clouded by state issues, party
strife and petty matters, but elimlaite
these for the nonce and think seriously
on the value of your ballot next June.
An Important Election.
McMlnnvllle News.
The eyes of all the United States are
upon Oregon. In this state is to be fought
the first battle Involving the great Na
tional question of imminent and. stupend
ous Importance What shall be our N-a
tlonal policy toward the Philippine Isl
ands? People of the East are -waiting ex
pectantly to see if the first test on the Pa
cific Coast, that section most interested
in the Philippine Islands, shall result In
a declaration for "scuttle" or in an in
dorsement of the Armlnlstratlon policy of
pacifying the islanders and preparing
them for self-government. Thus it will
be seen that the coming election In. Oregon
is of National significance, and should
be considered as such by every one using
the elective franchise. Every voter should
remember that a vote for the Republican
candidates means retention of the islands.
Intellectual and moral elevation of the
natives, expanded commerce, a ready mar
ket for the products of our fields and for
ests, employment for numerous laborers
on land and sea, and, above all, a positive
policy of progression. On the other hand,
a vote for the Democratic ticket places
you on record as a "scuttler," an oppo
nent of the expansion policy begun in the
time of Jefferson and maintained ever
since, as lacking in the moral courage to
undertake the educating and uplifting of
the native Filipino, and lastly, as indors
ing a negative policy of retrogression.
There is no evading the Issue. Demo
cratic statesmen and leaders in the Con
gress of the United States have waged
unrelenting war against the Administra
tion policy, crippling and hindering in
every possible way the work of pacifying
the Islands, and cannot deceive the people
as to their position. For Democratic speak
ers and newspapers to claim at this stage
of the game that they are misrepresented,
that they want to educate the Filipinos,
etc, Is E(n absurdity. Democrats In Con
gress have fought and obstructed Admin
istration measures for bettering the condi
tions of the Filipinos, and those Congress
men reflect the opinion of their constitu
encies. Their actions are a safer measure
of their policy than their promises. The
Republicans stand on the same platform
they have had In reference to the islands
since their acquisition. They have ad
hered to that platform strictly in every
Instance, and have made their constant
endeavor the economic, mental and moral
betterment of the Filipino. At the same
time they have opened a great commer
cial field for the Pacific Coast.
Oregon is the cynosure of the eyes of the
United States. What will her answer be?
Results of the Campaign.
Ashland Tidings.
The past week has witnessed a wonder
ful revival of Republican spirit all over
the state and the general apathy -which
seemed to prevail a' short time ago has
given place to restored enthusiasm an
along the line. The Republican meetings
have been largely attended and the speak
ers have been received with much enthu
siasm. Senator Fulton's magnificent ora
tory and Hon. W. J. Furnlsh's clear-cut
business speech have been accorded the
closest' attention, and their convincing ar
guments and presentation of the real is
sues of the campaign have rallied
the doubtful voters and the Re
publicans everywhere to the sup
port of the wise pollclesc of the
McKlnley and Roosevelt Administrations.
The hurrah and good-fellow campaign
with which the advocates of Mr. Cham
berlain's election started out to land him
in the Governor's chair Jias been met by
the people with a demand for an econom
ical, businesslike and efficient administra
tion of the; state government such as they
are assured will be given them by Mr.
Furnish. The taxpayers of the state are
not to be diverted from the fact that it is
necessary to have a man of resolution at
the helm of state to properly direct its
business, moral and economical instltu-
tions, through a jolly and glad-hand cam
paigner. Then, too, the Oregon voters are
not as short-minded as professional poli
ticians seem to have had the mistaken
idea they are. The National administra
tion of Cleveland and the state adminis
tration of Pennoyer are still quick in the
memory of the voters and they are not of
the mind to forsake their present pros
perity for a return of the distressing
times under Democratic Executives. Be
sides, a Legislature that will insure a Re
publican as United States Senator is at
stake In the present election. He should
be a man who will support policies of
McKlnley and Roosevelt that have brought
us our great prosperity. These policies
have promoted the tariff and nrny legis
lation that have given the glorious impe
tus to trade, manufacture and commerce.
They have planted the flag in the Philip
pines and will keep it there, and cause
the trade of the Orient to, come and pass
through this section of the land. A Leg
islature must be elected that will select a
United States Senator who will advocate
the open-door policy of the National Ad
ministration, the pacification of the Phil
ippines, the isthmian canal and the re
sulting trade that will be of such stupen
dous benefit to the State 6f Oregon. No
Republican will fall to register his vote
for the full Republican ticket that means
so much for a continuation of the most
prosperous era in the history of the country.
Mnst Have Republican In Congress.
Crook County Journal.
The Democrats tell us that all Oregon
needs to get legislation through Con
gress that will help to build up this coun
try is to get a Democratic Congressman
and place the state in the doubtful col
umn and then the Republicans would help
to get appropriations for the state In or
der that it might be bought over to be a
Republican again. Such argument is
childish to say the least, for to get any
thing through Congress to help us out
we must present a united front in that
body. This can only be done by having a
delegation there that will work in perfect
harmony and one In whom the other mem
bers of Congress have faith. In his speech
the other night Butcher said that Oregon
had gotten nothing from Congress be
cause she was known to be safely Repub
lican. We would respectfully refer thi
gentleman to the time when Blnger Heif
mann was In Congress and he will see that
we did not need a Democrat to get things
for this state. Any state to get recogni
tion must have a delegation In Congress
that can command the Tespect of the
members and one that vrill work together
as a unit. This can never be accomplished
by having part Democrats and part Re
publicans, or all Democrats, for they
would quarrel -over trifles and accomplish
nothing. But what Is the UBe to worry?
Oregon Is going to remain in the front
rank of Republican states and show to the
world that she is a business state.
Vote Against Policy of Cowardice.
Polk County Observer.
It has been claimed by Democrats that
there should be no politics in this cam
paign; but It Is a fact that the eyes of the
Nation are upon Oregon, and the whole
country Is vitally Interested In and will
be affected by the result. The adminis
tration of President Roosevelt is now on
trial In Oregon. Our National policy In
dealing with the Philippine question is on
trial. The splendid work of the Second
Oregon Regiment and their brave com
rades on the field of Malabon, where the
American flag was planted upon the
strongholds of feudalism, is on trial in
this campaign. The blood of our own
boys, slain In this struggle for freedom
and civilization, cries from the ground
against the ruthless attacks made by
Democratic leaders In Congress upon the
name and honor of the men In blue, who
risked their lives, were crippled, or were
killed that the American name might be
the synonym for strength and right In the
world's affairs. There Is politics in this
campaign. Let every warm-blooded, loyal
citizen of Oregon vote today against Till
man, Carmack, 'and the whole policy of
cowardice that they advocate and now
Beek to fasten upon the American peoplt.
Want an Eastern Oregon Governor.
Salem Statesman.
When an Eastern Oregon man was elect
ed Governor he came to Salem, invested a
large amount of money, became a Marlon
County taxpayer and still owns one of
the .finest residence properties in our
midst. When a Portland man was elected
Governor and held th place for eight
years, he came to the Statehouse for two
days every week, lived on crackers and
cheese, hardly ever saw the business part
of the city, and has not been in Salem
since he left the Governor's chair. The
former was a Republican, too, and the
latter was a Democrat. Marlon County
Republican voters can choose which of
the two they wish repeated now. Will
they blindly duplicate the Pennoyer expe
rience, or will they be guided by business
common sent and invite another Moody
among us In the person of Mr. Furnish?
The Office of Governor Is Political.
Salem Statesman.,,
George E. Chamberlain is a man of
splendid personal qualities. He is a pleas
ing speaker, a true friend and a loyal
neighbor. But his politics Is all wrong,
and however much a Republican may ad
mire him personally he cannot afford to
vote an Indorsement to the party he rep
resents. The office he seeks is political In
character, and his elevation to it would
place Oregon In the Democratic column, a
distinction the people of the state do not
care to acquire at this stage of the state's
development. Republicans should support
the head of their ticket loyally.
Vote for the 3Inn Who Will Help Yon
Shanlko Leader.
Chamberlain, the Democratic nominee
for Governor, stands for free trade that
means free soup and general depression;
free sliver, tearing down the flag In the
Philippines and burying out of sight and
forever the principles advocated and car
ried out by you since the Republican
party was organized. W. J. Furnish, the
Republican candidate, could not stand
that kind of work, and left that party.
Who will you vote for, the man -who is
helping you now. or tho man who is. al
ways has and always will be fighting
you?
WHY THIS TSUISANCE?
Civic Improvement Might Take a
Nctt Direction.
PORTLAND, May20. (To the Editor.)
Is there any law by which householders
may be protected against the handbill,
circular and sample package nuisance?
The newspapers are devoting a large
amount of space to the subject of "a
beautiful city." They maintain a large
number of reporters, much of whose time
Is taken up interviewing prominent citi
zens and seeking suggestions as to how
we can best secure an attractive city.
Civic improvement clubs hold meetings,
talk about a "city of roses" and fall into
the most flowery kind of oratory, while
right under their noses vre have a "city
of waste-paper," most of which, It is 6afe
to say, is composed of handbills, beauty
parlor and quack doctor circulars, cough
drop boxes and the circulars, or worse
still, the samples of some vile nostrum.
No sooner is the front porch swept off
and the lawn put In nice trim than some
sickly-faced, blear-eyed "clgareet" fiend
comes along and not only litters up the
street with handbills, but climbs the front
steps with hob-nailed boots, scratching the
paint or tracking mud everywhere, to the
distraction of the good housewife. One of
these audacious scoundrels recently
opened the front door of a residence (per
chance in quest of overcoats),- and threw
his noxious stuff Into the reception hall,
but got 6ff the premises just in time to
escape a severe thrashing. If the actual
perpetrators of this waste-paper nuisance
ore not to blame, being only the employes
of others, why not "go after" the latter,
or do the law officers of the bailiwick get
a monthly rake-off from bill distributing
agencies, as well as from other sources?

that the noble Filipino is a man of infinite
capacity. HACIENDA TORTILLA.
ALL RESTS WITH THE GIRL
She Can Determine Young Man's At
titude Toward Her.
PORTLAND, May 20. (To the Editor.)
An article in Monday morning's Ore
gonlan headed, "The Bunny-Hug or Not?"
has led me to beg space for a reply.
I say no, emphatically no. I consider
the position ungraceful, ugly and immod
lst, and if the "South Portland Blonde"
will not become disheartened, but Insist
upon each young man holding her decent
ly and will also talk the matter over with
her girl friends, she may do much toward
abolishing a spectacle which is seen no
where In New York outside the Bowery
dance-nans. I advise the "Nob Hill Bru
nette" to refrain from dancing until she
is sure of her equilibrium. It is quite,
enough for a man to guide his partner
through the crowd of a. ballroom without
the additional task of holding her up.
Another girl says, "I don't like the
'bunny-hug, but what can a poor girl
do?" She can do the same as the first
girl I have referred to. The whole mat
ter rests with the girls. Let all refuse to
dance with any one who holds them im
properly, and the young men will see
the folly of their ways and, becoming tired
of being "wallflowers," will surrender. I
have a son and a daughter, both of -whom
dance, and I have always taught my son
that assuming any attitude In dancing
which would call for a question, or un
pleasant comment was an insult to his
partner. I have also Instructed my
daughter In regard to modesty, and she
has never allowed a man to assume the
"bunny-hug," or any other attitude unbe
coming refined society. Neither of them
"sits out," and both are considered good
dancers.
The dancing teacher interviewed takes
the correct stand when she states that
dancing is an art, and that improper posi
tions but degrade the art. I think she
should be upheld by every mother in her
"fight" to teach the correct position,
and if I were in her place I should not
permit pupils on the floor unless they
adhered to my method. She would not be
the loser in the end.
I should like, right now, to speak of an
other breach of good breeding, and that is
of young ladies crossing their knees in
a ballroom. It is not pretty, girls, or
modest. If mothers would take more In
terest In their young people's social train
ing, the spectators at a party would not
have the opportunity to make the un
favorable comments I have heard, and
also participated In. Have a good time,
girls1, laugh and dance all you can, but
don't forget that sweet modesty, with
out prudishness, makes you all the more
lovable and attractive. God bless the
young people. A MOJTHER.

The new Port of Portland dredge, the
largest craft that has been launched at
Portland since the big railroad ferry
now running between Kalama and Goble
was put in the water, was slid oft the

near enough to it to make the slide a
short one. The launching was scheduled
for 10 o'clock, but .owing to a difference
In the watches used by the timekeepers,
the big hulk moved off into the stream
about four minutes before the appointed

was said to be nearly 500 tons, and con

Is 225 feet long and 42 feet beam, and the

which will be about September 1. unless
the contractors are behind with their

$175,000. The machinery will be supplied

TOO BIG FOR THE PORT.
China Mntnal Liner Loses Valuable
Freight Shipment for Fairhaven. I
The disadvantage of having a steamer
too big for the ports where profitable
business originate? Is Illustrated In tho
case of the China Mutual liner Yangtse,
which has just sailed from Puget Sound
for Europe. Freight Is scarce for the
big steamers at present, and after fill
ing up with "wheat and lumber at cut
rates, the Yangtse was to finish off with
500 tons of salmon at Fairhaven. The
reason why she failed to complete her
cargo is thus explained by the Tacoma
Ledger:
The China Mutual steamship, Yangtse,
Captain Allen, which sailed from Tacoma
Sunday at sunrise, will be obliged to for
feit a heavy consignment at Fairhaven
by reason of her deep draught. The
Yangtse was cleared by Dodwell & Co.
with a heavy cargo of wheat, flour, lum
ber and lead for London and Liverpool.
When she left tho harbor yesterday
morning, she was drawing 25 feet 6 inches
A consignment of 500 tons of canned sal
mon awaited her at Fairhaven to com
plete her cargo.
At the time of her sailing from this
port there had been no question raised as
to her ability to dock at Fairhaven to
receive Jier consignment. During the
day, however. It was learned that the
depth of water at .Fairhaven would not
allow her to enter and leave with her
additional load. The Yangtse is report
ed to draw one inch of water for every
46 tons of cargo. At that ration she
would draw nearly 11 Inches more with
the salmon consignment than with her
present load, or 26 feet 5 Inches;
While not the heaviest draught steam
ship putting Into Commencement bay,
the Yangtse Is among that class. There
are some, however, which draw 28 feet,
heavily loaded, but to these, under a
nearly completed cargo, Fairhaven is a
closed port.
It is not expected that any attempt
will be made to get the salmon aboard
by the use of lighters, or reshlpplng to
Seattle, as the time would be worth more
than the consignment; therefore, in all
probability, the Yangtse will sail away
to come again another day, leaving the
fish behind.

FREIGHTS ARE WEAKER.
Nitrate Ships Going From the West
Coast to Europe at Very Lotv Rates.
A softening of the freight market In
San Francisco and the protracted holi
day In Europe, has interfered -with the
chartering of the Speke. The big fellow
was" practically fixed last Saturday, but
at. the last moment negotiations fell
through, and since that time nothing has
been doing. There Is a demand for
smaller ships, but the size of the Speke
Is against her, and unless there Is an
upturn in the market, her owners will
be obliged to accept lower rates or hold
her over for new season. There Is not
very much encouragement In the outlook
for ships at present, but according fto
advices received from the nitrate ports,
matters are no worse up here than they
are along the West Coast.
The ships Vincent and Tucora are re
ported fixed for spot loading at Iqulque
for United Kingdom at 17s 6d, and the
British ship Crown of England Is to bring
a cargo of nitrate from a West Coast port
to San Francisco at 6 shillings per ton.
a rate which will hardly pay the expense
of loading and discharging. There is still
a disengaged ship on Puget Sound, and
as she is somewhat smaller than the
Speke, she may be taken up for business
in the near future.
RIVERSDALE ARRIVES OUT.
Grain Ships of the January Fleet Are
Making Very Good Passages.
The January grain fleet is showing up
on the other side, and for the next few
weeks arrivals out from Pacific Coast
ports will be quite heavy. The British
ship Riversdale reported at Falmouth
Monday, after a fairly good passage of
I 128 days from this port. This is not quite
C3 good a showing aa was made- by some
of the vessels that preceded her in Jan
uary, but is good enough to keep the av
erage of the fleet down to very reason
able proportions If the remainder of the
fleet is not too slow. The Formosa,
which sailed nearly two weeks later than
the Riversdale, made the crack passage
of the season by going to Queenstown
in 103 days. The Metropolis, well known
in this port as a flyer, made the fastest
January passage from Tacoma, going
home in 117 days, and the James Kerr
in 107 days was the best traveler of the
San Francisco fleet.
STREWN WITH "WRECKAGE.
Falkland Islands Have Been Visited
by DIsnstrons Storm.
PORT TOWNSEND. May 20. A letter
received here today from Port Stanley,
Falkland Islands, under date of April 4,
says that during the past few months
storms of unusual violence have prevailed,
shipping has suffered severely and the
islands are strewn with wreckage. The
letfer says one vessel lost nine men over
board. Another vessel lost Its captain
and two men. A third lost its captain
and apprentice. The letter falls to give
the names of the vessels or of the unfor
tunates. The letter says also that a ship
from Port Blakeley came into Port Stan
ley in distress, partially waterlogged and
her rigging badly damaged.
According to the letter, new sealing
grounds have been found. Three sealing
schooners from Nova Scotia have reached
s&HntAsl?"
mi4
Port Stanley wfth big catches and refuse
to tell where they were made. Schooners
have been sealing out of season, and com
plaints have been made to the governor
of the islands, but that official is power
less to act, as there are no government
vessels at his disposal.
PILOTS ARE EXONERATED.
Not Responsible for Delay to Steam
ship Vcntnor.
The trustees of the Chamber of Com
merce have received a reply from the
Board of Pilot Commissioners to the
charges made against the pilots by Cap
tain Ferry, of the steamship Vcntnor,
consigned to the Pacific Export Com
pany. Captain Ferry said that the pilots
neglected their duty and the Ventnor
was thereby delayed several hours in
reaching port. The board, after Investi
gating the charges, exonerated (he pilots.
Its letter to the Chamber of Commerce
Is, in part, as follows:
In answer to the complaint tho pilot said:
"I brought the vessel In. and for some rea
son the ship did not come up to the bar the
usual course that steamers do, but she came
close to Tillamook Rock Hght, and up along
the beach, and the pilot boat was about eight
or ten miles to the westward; I saw the steam
er, but It being calm and a strong current. It
was Impossible to get to her, 'and It the cap
tain wanted a pilot "badly, why did he not
come to us, as all others do in such cases
but he did not do so, and went to anchor on
the bar, about 8 P. M, a very reckless thing,
as any pilot or marine man will say that Is
acquainted with the Columbia River bar. It
was thick and feggy all night, and when it
cleared up In the morning, which was about
8 o'clock. I boarded him from the pilot-boat;
all steamships como to the lightship at night,
and we are always to be found closo there
when weather and wind permit." The Port
Captain, says that the tugboat was outside
until 5:30 that evening, and saw no smoke
or sail come In; also that the agents did not
notify, as Is customary, or the tugboat would
have waited outside longer. This Is all the
Information that we can get In the matter.
AVe were very pleased to learn that Mr.
W. S. SSbson thoroughly Investigated the mat
ter of the Strathgyle, and found the statement
of the pilot correct and the captain's com
plaint not well taken; and It occurs to us that
the complaint of Captain Ferry Is very simi
lar, from the fact that the pilot schooner was
undoubtedly outside with pilots aboard look
ing for ships, and It does not seem reasonable
that pilots are going to stay outside on a
small sailing schooner, especially In this kind
of weather, hen there Is an opportunity to
board a large steamer and come Inside. Could
the pilot schooner tie up or go Into soma
small river, or creek for comfort, "and gUo
tho pilots an opportunity to shirk their duty,
or were they found to "be inside and not at
tending to their duty, there might be some
reason for these complaints, but In nearly
every instance, as In this case, we find that
the schooner was outside with pilots aboard.

People have 90 idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
It takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do.
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin; makes red
ness and x roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no free, al
kali in it. It neither reddens
nor roughens the skin. It re

as gentle as strong; and the
