rz THE MOENING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1902. FORGET THE PAST So Say the Democratic Party Leaders. VAGUE PROMISES FOR FUTURE Orator Dolllver Asks Voter to He. member What the Republican. Party Hai Done, and IVote What It Will Do. Ashamed of Its past, and uncertain of Its present, the Democratic party stands before the people with no claim to their "votes but the vague promises of its future- The Democrats admit that they were wrong on the "eternal principle" of free silver, they admit that a Democratic administration precipitated the panic of 1893 and caused the financial losses and ruin and suffering which followed; they must admit that Democratic administra tion has been a failure; but they ask the people to forget the past and give them one more chance to make a record. They THE AMEXD3IENT. A proposed amendment to the state constitution Is to be voted on today. It Is the Initiative and referendum, about which there has been much agi tation In Oregon tor a number of years. All parties have Indorsed it. It ap pears the very last thing on the official ballot. Do not overlook it. If you favor It and, no doubt, a majority of electors do mark an X opposite tho res." neat compliment to former Hawkeyes who now live In the land of the Wcbfeet. Mr. Dolllver laughingly referred to the objections urged by the Democratic press against his preaching the doctrine of Republicanism In Oregon, because he came from the "effete East." He said: "You people who came from the Mississippi Valley, Just think of 'effete' Iowa! Why, when they wanted a Sec retary of Agriculture, they called Tama Jim Wilson, of Iowa; when they wanted a Secretary of the Treasury, they took ex-Governor Leslie J. Shaw, of the same state. The Director of the Mint Is the Hon. Georjre E. Roberts, of my own town. The Solicitor of the Treasury comes from there, too, and while I have a little prejudice in his favor, I think we have a fairly good United States Sen ator from that place. The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Is that battle-scarred old hero, David B. Henderson, and the Republican leader of the United States Senate is William B. Allison, all "from 'effete Iowa. Besides all these," said Mr. Dolllver, pointing to himself, "we have a whole lot of ordi nary plain farmers down there who hold no office and want none. "Why, friends, come to think of it, there is no particular harm in an Iowa man talking politics In Oregon, for we have supplied Republican majorities for all these Northwestern States, and have 60 depleted our voting population by that process that we can get only about 100, 000 majority now for the Republican tick et In that state; and I believe that the vast company of Oregon pioneers who came from the Hawkeye state to the Pa cific will not forget at next Monday's election the training In Republican prin ciples in Iowa from William B. Allison, among the living, and Grimes and Kirk wood, among the dead." would set aside all principles and forget the political battle upon petty issues which are becoming to the demagogue but not to the statesman. Upon this subject Mr. Victor B. Dolllver cpoke in his address at the Marquam Grand Saturday evening, and his high ideals of the lines upon which political contests , should be fought called forth storms of applause and cheers, which show that the people have not all been misled by the appeals to prejudice, resort ed to by the Democrats. Mr. Dolllver said that "the Democratic party always maintains very serious ob jections to any argument drawn from their cwn history, or from the history of the United States. Their cry has always been, '.Let by-gones be by-gones,' so they have it In their platforms this year, 'Let the dead past bury its dead,' and I am sorry to say that too often have we al lowed ourselves to be guided by their objections, emitting from our discussions not only the record of their party, but the motives of their political leaders. Less and less Is heard In these days about the record of political parties, and more and more about party promises, and that is -what the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor is giving the people of Oregon in this campaign. It is one of tho astonish ing features of our current politics that the Republican party has allowed its ad versaries to drive It from its historic place In the public thought of our times. Now I am willing to admit that there is strength and merit enough in the present position and purposes of the Republican rarty to retain the good-Trill of the Amer ican people; but it does not seem to me to be necessary to throw away the shin ing record of Its great achievements and fight it out upon the personality of some petty candidate or the current issues of the passing hour. The Republican party is entitled to ell the advantages that come to It from the historic names and mighty victories that mark all the years of Its public service, and, for my part, if I had to throw away the history, of my country, shut up the volume that tells the story of public liberty and the eman cipation of the slaves, close my eyes to all the great monuments that mark the pathway of National development, turn a deaf ear to these heroic voices that come to me from a thousand battle-fields, and from half a million scattered graves of the Republic In other words, if the past has no lessons and no inspirations, and the only question pending before the public is the personality of candidates, or the effect of a tariff act upon the cur rent price of canned goods, I freely con fess that I could bring neither interest nor enthusiasm to the work of this cam paign. The Republican party was not j - . ELECTION BETTIXG LIVELY. Big: Water Are Made on Race for Governor and Mayor. The election sports were out yesterday with blood in their necks, fire in their eyes and cash in their pockets. Not for many years has a state election been marked with such liberal betting as has been manifested during the past week, and last night brought the enthusiastic wagers of the sporting fraternity to a climax. It is estimated that from $30,000 to $35,000 has been placed "even up" on the Wlllritns-Slmon Mayoralty contest, and almost an equal amount on the Fur-nlsh-Chamberlain battle. Schiller's cigar store was the scene of most of tho betting last evening, and bets ranging from $5 up to $750 were placed on the Gubernatorial struggle, and still larger sums on the race for Mayor. Both Republicans and Democrats had plenty of money, and there was a dis position to go the limit, especially on the Furnlsh-Chamberlaln race. Crowds of men and boys stood about the store, and the excitement became Intense as the "pieces of money" were launched forth upon: the counter. A well-known sport from Umatilla County bet all the money he had on Furnish carrying the state, and declared that he would return this morn ing with "all that the Democrats can cover." One man bet $333 against $1000 that Judge Williams would be elected by more than 1000 votes, and a sanguine ad mirer of "Bob" Inman placed $200 against $100 that Inman will be the next Mayor. This plunger evidently has plenty of coin, for he gave iha stakeholder $20. At MIsh's cigar store about $2000 has been placed at "even monej" on the more Important contests, and a well-known Third-street firm Is stakeholder of some $10,000. Little betting has been Indulged In on any offices outside of Governor and Mayor, although one enthusiastic indi vidual offered to bet a hundred to one that Joe Simon will not be re-elected to the United States Senate. sSbGgSS TO JUDGES OP ELECTION. The Oregonlan has addressed letters to all chairmen of election boards in Multnomah County asking them to as sist It In the labor of gathering election returns. In the City of Portland, spe cial messengers will call about 11 o'clock tonight at all the precincts, and judges are requested to have ready for them the blanks which havo already been sent out. In the outlying pre cincts. Judges are requested to observe carefully the note of instructions. born to settle the money question or a tariff question. It came into life as the chosen instrument to defend the unity of this Nation, threatened with treason, and to save the liberty of the human race, threatened with slavery. "Do not misunderstand me. The Repub lican party has never faltered in its advocacy and support of sound principles of economy and finance, and could invite the judgment of the world to its triumphs in these fields; but back of all these tri umphs, settled In the unwavering convic tion cf earnest men lie the real founda tlfins of the party that has rallied to Its standard the great soldiers and statesmen of the last generation. "Let us as Republicans keep alive the influences of those memorable years; let us hang the pictures of our old leaders upon the walls of our houses and put their biographies Into the hands of our children; let not the history of the United States become an obsolete text-book, ob solete out of respect for the feelings of a party that has set the foot of Its pro test against every step in the pathway of National development." After a discussion of the bearing and importance of the present election in Ore gon, and the Influence that a Republican victory will have upon the work in other states, Mr. Dolllver closed by declaring that we are now upon the eve of a mighty political conflict in this country, and in the fight the State of Oregon has the post of honor and the obligations bf leadership. Socialist Mass Meeting;. A largely attended meeting of Socialists was held last night at A. O. U. W. Halt Many men have become converted to the principles of Socialism In the last five days in Portland. Fully 1000 people, most of them voters, heard Rev. Mr. Wilson last night, and were In entire sympathy with the principles he explained. If the Inter est and enthusiasm of this last meeting Is a criterion, the Socialist vote at the polls today will surprise those who know noth ing of this movement. Close to $100 was raised at last night's meeting. Some time during this week the new converts will meet with the older veter ans to perfect an organization and make arrangements to carry on a progressive campaign, which will not be finished, the leaders declare, until the co-operative commonwealth Is realized. Rev. J. Stltt Wilson, who has conducted the meetings of the past two weeks in the State of Oregon, is a 20th century rev olutionist and reformer. The central theme of all his addresses is "that the com petitive system has already passed away and the trust system of combination and monopoly Is here, therefore, the great and only Issue before the American people to day is between socialism and capitalism, between public ownership and private ownership; that the result is sure to be public ownership and true liberty of man." Rev. Mr. Wilson goes from here to hold a series of meetings in Los Angeles, Cal. "Indorsed" by "Nonpartisans." The so-called Non-Partlsan Advisory Association (composed of union men) has indorsed certain candidates for office. They are James E. Godfrey, Democrat, for State Printer, who has been variously a supporter and an opponent of union men for office; Nathan H. Bird, Independent, for Sheriff; Walter E. Jackson, Republi can, for Constable West Side; and the following candidates for Representatives in the Legislature: E. A. Austin, N. D. Beutgen, Frank H. Curtis, M. C. Davis, E. A. McPherson, A- F. Felguth, Charles Ream, A. A. Bailey, J. S. Hutchinson, George M. Orton. Of these, the first six are "Citizens" Austin, Beutgen,, Curtis, Davis, McPherson and Velguth; one is a Socialist Charles Ream; and three are Republicans Bailey, Hutchinson and Orton. IOW.VS XOtfLE SONS. And Gcorjre H. Williams Is Not the Least of Tlicm. Oregon has within Its borders many former residents of the State of Iowa, the greatest among these being George H. Williams, who wa3 for five years a Circuit Judge in that state. The record of this great man is one of which tho peo ple of Iowa may well be proud. It was indeed with no small propriety that Mr. Dollivcr referred in his speech Saturday evening to some of the illustrious men of hi own state, and In doing so he paid a FOR FAIR PLAY AND DECENT POLITICS. J. R. Whitney bolted Judge I R. Webster's nomination some years ago and defeated him for Attorney-General, but now expects Republican support! The said Whitney, who is proprietor of a daily paper, has also earned the contempt of workingmen and employers alike by op posing unions until nominated for State Printer, and then trying to get Into tho ranks of union labor to secure votes. Here is the opinion of Charles Mickley, president of the Non-Partisan Advisory Association, upon Whitney's methods: "It is not Just nor right that a candi date for office who is a union man of two weeks' standing should have the same consideration by union labor as the other candidate for the same office, who is a time-tried, true and consistent union man of 16 years' standing. The notice should not be published to future aspirants for office that after the nomination will be time enough to break Into a union to get the support of organized labor." Mr. Mickley and union men generally are1 supporting James E. Godfrey, who is a square' man and capable printer, and who has not agreed to "divvy" the office with a political boss for securing him the nomination. All good citizens should vote for Godfrey.

AND HUNREDS OF LITTLE THINGS IN WHITE FROM ALL OVER THE STORE MONUMENTS TO THE DEAD WOODMEN OF THE WORLD UNVEIL THEIR MEMORIALS. Women of Woodcraft Participate in 'Ceremonies In Honor of Members Who Have Passed Awar. Tho annual memorial services and un veiling o monuments of the Woodmen of the World Were held at Lone Fir ceme tery yesterday afternoon and were par ticipated In by a majority of the mem bers of the city camps and circles.. Not withstanding the threatening weather, hundreds of spectators were in attendance and the inclosure in which the ceremo nies took place was lined with people. Before the services a parade of the Woodmen took place. The camps In uniform and in civilian dress assembled at tho Intersections of Washington street, from Tenth to Fifteenth, and fell Into line When the order to march was WHY NOT BLAME IX3IAX? The Democrats have attempted to In jure the cause of J. N. Williamson, nominee for Congress, by criticizing him for not calling up the fellow-servants' bill In the Senate. That was a Htitise bill, and it was no more the business of one man than of another -to call It up In the Senate. Why Is It that Williamson has been criticized on this score, and not Senatgr Inman? Inman had every right on the floor of the Senate that "Williamson had. This attempt to shield a Democratic candi date and knife a Republican candidate, shows that the purpose Is to mislead the Republicans who would bo affected by the fellow-servants' law. The Dem ocrats presume upon the Intelligence of the people when they try to work a dodge like this on tho eve before elec-. tloo. which he Is doubtless unable to wield him self. No man Is wise In all thlng3. Mr. Poul sen can see nothing In Judge Williams but "a fine old gentleman." Mr. Poulsen Is as I said, a great "financier," a "money maker, a money-lover, no doubt Is blinded by the rosy twilight of the future, and sees, with his financial eye. only the glittering and alluring salary that Mr. Inman would draw In case he were elect ed, the half of which would belong to Mr. Poulsen, the financier. Under such exquisite circumstances, Mr. Poulsen Is excusable for wielding his cudgel in be half of his partner to help whom Is to help himself. P. W. GILLETTE.

McNary, regular Repub lican nominee for City Attorney. She was a most captivating creature, beautiful beyond the race of women. Tho artifice of her oyes, the skill of her charms petrified the gaze of admiration with the effect of a Medusa. When she spoke, it was heavenly harmony; when she laughed, stones and trees were wont to dance. Upon this superb creature bangs a tale. It Is related by L. B. Gorham, of this city, who vouches that every detail of it is true. And, although Mr. Gorham's friends Insist that he was mosmerlzed or hypnotized, he maintains, with the In tensity of a manNvhose chief pride is his veracity, that the story is not an empty vision, but the -whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He saw with his own corporeal eyes: therefore, he knows he Is not deceived. Mr. Gorham is an ardent disciple of Izaak Walton, and equal to any storyteller of the craft. But he Is unique among the devotees of the craft. In that he has a conscience, which always holds him down to fact. The story Is a tale of a catastrophe. Otherwise it would be humorous. Noth ing Is more serious In this world than tho wounded pride of a charming woman. And the pride of the superb creature about whom this story gathers was wounded by the discovery that all her beauty was not all her own. The particular skill of the fair daugh ter of Eve was that of enrapturing the hearts of all who saw her, and yet of commanding their respect. Her portion of knowledge, wit and good sense was beyond that of most men of wisdom. She had a composure of manner, a graceful ness of motion, a dignity of respect, and, withal, a complacency of being, that made all the universe turn about her. In the presence of the other sex she had a way of discovering new charms that took men's speech away as soon as their tongues recovered from the old ones. In this way, as much aa she drew men I near, she kept them at a distance. And, although so reserved, she was ono of the race of women who rejoice in secret in the admiration of men, and with whom decp-souled eyes and their artful confu sion are the highest of graces. Her hand. It was the finest In the world; her form, the most angelic. But like the sphinx she was, which men can only please by posing themselves before It. "What do you think happened? Early next morning there was a rustling of silk behind me. I turned about. Believe me, this Is as true as Gospel, and I am, telling it absolutely straight. There stood the beautiful lady who had left the steam ship with a handkerchief to her mouth. " 'Is this Mr. Gorham?' .she a&ed. " 'Yes.' 'Did you insert this ad.? "I answered that I did. and handed to her the package containing the object of her quest. She turned her back to me undid the package, and evidently Inserted' the teeth in place, for her right hand went to her mouth, and there was a sharp snap. Then she deliberately walked out of the office, without so much as saying: .'Thank you.' "The ad. cost me 33 cents, and I should like to have the lady return and pay It." t ALL UNION PEOPLE.

A man who has been out on a survey ing "party along the line of the Columbia & Northern Railroad, being built through the vKllckitat "Valley, from Goldendale to Ly!e4 says rattlesnakes are numerous In tha(rcgIon. Scarcely a day passed with out some of the party killing several, and the men finally became accustomed to them, but always took pains' Jo step aside whenthey heard the warning rattle the snake gives when disturbed. Oneday not long ago a rear flagman came near being scared to death by stum bling Jnto a den of rattlesnakes. It was a little hollow .on the sunny side of a hill under the lee of a ledge of roek6 where ;the snakes had their home In the Winter, He was hastening to overtake the party, which had advanced down the line. As he plunged down Into the den he heatd a snake spring his rattle. He halted and looked around to see which way to .jump, and his blood congealed In his veins when ho saw that the ground was literally covered with rattlesnakes. There wee at least 50 within a radius of 20 feet from where he stood, and he could ece'.no way of reaching a place of safety without passing over some of them. He yelled for help till he made the welkin and everything else In the neighborhood ring. His cries reached the party and the rear man came running back to see what was the matter. The victim could only point to the. array of snakes around him; his voice was gone-from terror. The'man who came to his rescue yelled: "You blankety bla"hked blank fool, don't you see that the snakes are dead?" This was the case, as the party In pass ing the place had killed all they could find, but ono had escaped and his rattle was what caused all the trouble. The scared man takes great delight" In hunt ing and killing snakes, and Is likely to exterminate rattlers in that valley. Vote for L. R. Webster, Republican candidate for County Judge. given. Headed by a platoon of police and Grand Marshal Jameson and his aides, C. C. Bradley, W. C. Bolton, E. J. Rathbun, L. S. Daue and W. T. Bird, the procession moved down Washington street to Third, thence to Burnslde and to the cemetery. At the gates of the cemetery the Woodmen were met by the Women of Woodcraft and their guard women In blue and red attire, carrying lances. The ranks were opened and the members of the circles moved Into line and led the parade to the scene of the services. At the stand the guard and the speak ers of the day were welcomed by J. J. Jennings, chairman of the committee of arrangements and master of ceremonies. The Woodmen and the Women of Wood craft marched into the inclosure, and the, degree teams reversed their axes when the services were opened. The guard, under the command of Miss Mar garet Torgler, took places on the plat form. After a dirge had been rendered by the band "Abide With Me" was sung by a quartet, composed of J. Adrian Ep plng, N. C. Zan, J. W. Belcher and Louis Davles. The unveiling services were conducted by William Reldt. The first monument unveiled was that of the Women of Woodcraft. The ritual was read by Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. J. P. Menefee and the ode recited by Mrs. L. E. Llewellyn. The veil was lifted from the monument by Mr. Reldt and flowers were strewn al its base. The names of the dead to whom the monument was dedicated were Vir ginia Lee Burkholder, Margaret Powers, Martha Costello and Iva Ella Fullara. The services of the Woodmen were conducted by John Van Zante, as consul commander of the day. During a slight rain Frank S. Fields christened the mon ument and Mr. Reldt unveiled it. Mr. Van Zante declared It dedicated to the dead of the past year, who were: H. N. Andreeson, A. E. Clarke, Jr R. N. Sell wood, C. J, Peterson, F. L. Keenan, G. E. Ledyard, F. S. Beets, P. Grant, J.

Lewis and Clark Man's Hard Job of Disposing? of One Share. "I do enough for charity," responded Dr. Curem, with an Icicle, attached to each word. The Lewis and Clark man shivered. The prospect was certainly bleak and he set the fires of his ingenuity burning. "But, doctor, this Is not a charity fair." "Yes, it Is," and the thermometer dropped down another notch. "Yes, doctor; we know how you feel about It." essayed the Lewis and Clark man, trying to warm up his victim. "But why do you take upon joursclf so big a f burden of charity?" "Half my patients don't pay their bills. When they don't feel their duty toward me I don't feel any toward the fair. Now it's out. You have it." "Yes, doctor; but lon't the half that do fork over pay double rates?" But see ing his mistake the Lewis and Clark man made amends by adding: "I mean, should theynot do, so?" The doctor thawed out a little at this, but the ice was not yet broken. "Lewis and Clark were not beggars," he de clared. "They are two of the greatest American heroes," joined in the visitor with an am--bitious dream shining out of his eyes. "That's why we are honoring them." "Honoring the devil!" "No; Lewis and Clark, doctor." "Look here. Lewis and Clark would have spurned to beg." "Yes." "That's what you're doing." "We're only ask " "No; you're begging. You only disgrace Lewis and Clark by begging for them." "Let me ex " "How can you honor them by doing for them what they disdained to do for them selves? If they lived they would not per mit It." The solicitor by this time began to feel like 25 cents and a nickel. Suddenly a. caloric thought came upon him. "YouT remember, doctor, two years ago you got on a boat at Kalama bound for Port land?" The doctor brushed up his memory. "You couldn't get a stateroom, and. "I shared mine with you." ( "Ar-s you the man?" A "I'm him." The doctor reformed his tone at once. "Sit down." he said, cheerily. "Glad to see you. Shake. But you don't look like the same fellow," and he became suspi cious. "Perhaps not. I was just in from hunt ing. Looked pretty hard, I admit." "You did that." "And you were afraid of me." "Oh, no." "Oh. yes." "And you didn't sleep any that night." "That's right. Eed was hard." "Come off. You .were afraid I was a tough and you feared I was going to hold you up. "Not at all." 'Yes, you were. I told you I wouldn't, hold you up that time, and I didn't. But i' REFUTE THIS SLANDER.

"I'll do the handsome thing by you," responded Dr. Curem. "Put me down for $10, one share." The Winter frost came again when the solicitor tried to get more. "Not another cent today," came the icy blast. At the door the solicitor was caught by the grin of the office boy. "If you hadn't smiled," said the boy, "you wouldn't have got It" The solicitor thinks $10 a smile good money, even in prosperous times. Vote for L. A.
