MR. BLOW HOT, BLOW COLD
Tribute to tho Political Agility of
Senator Chamberlain.
PORTLAND. Aug. 28. (To the Editor.
The dispatches announce a threat on
the part of Senator cnamoenaiu w
tire from nubile life at the end of hii
present term of office, for the reason
that he has so long been in the service
of tha people that as he jooks deck ou
hi. rret work "it seems like an age."
It is hoped, however, this Is a mistake
on the part of the seir-sacrincing aena
tor. There are certain duties resting
upon a man like Mr. Chamberlain which
should not be shirked when called upon
by the great public Interest to serve
it and this is an Instance of that kind.
He has never wanted to hold a public
position, to ba sure. These burdens have
always been thrust upon him at such
times when he would nave muou pre
ferred to remain in private life. Indeed,
he has refused to become a candidate for
any office only after the most urgent
appeals from all the people to accept a
public trust for the general good. He
has never been a partisan candidate for
anv position. He has never been a. can
dldate for any office under the direct
primary law always preferring to leave
his selection to assemblies which have
appeared to force upon him a task which
he would greatly have desired should
have been passed up to others who really
had an Itching for the popular gaze.
But, having so prominently assisted In
looking after the interests of the people
of Oregon In the arrangement of the
schedules In the new tariff bill, seeing
that they were all properly protected
and then boasting that he finally voted
to defeat them all, he has displayed
such a high standing of statesmanship
and such a perspicacious perspicacity in
carrying double, blowing hot and cold
and maintaining a -non-partisan attitude,
while strengthening his position in the
Democratic party, that an appreciative
constituency trusts that his days of ef
fective handshaking are not so nearly
over as this disappointing dispatch inti
mates.
.Nay, nay! Rather let another age pass
by before this dispiriting dilemma may
be presented to the people of Oregon,
There are some things a free people
should not be called upon to endure.
This depressing shadow forecasting &
possible disturbance In an otherwise de
lightful political atmosphere Is one of
them. Let It be smothered In Its In-
ciplency by the Initiation of a law render
ing such a move plainly unconstitutional.
The people have certain rights which
should be and are paramount. G.
SPREAD OF FOREST FIRES
Canse Is Said to Be Vandal Hunters
of Game.
BUNKER HILL SPRINGS. Or., Aug.
27. (To the Editor.) fti referring to the
origin of forest fires, the question will
be better understood by striking out
"careless campers" and Inserting "van
dal hunters.
A score of years ago most of the In
terlor of Columbia County was public
domain, over which pioneer settlers,
fancy free, chased wild deer. Now nearly
all these lands have passed to private
ownership. Owners of the soil were
permitted, under certain restrictions, to
hunt on their own lands. Irresponsible
non-owners, by paying $1 or $2 license to
the county, slay most of the game and.
In the opinion of persons who are In
position to form correct conclusions, set
out most of the forest fires deliberately,
and not carelessly.
Sparks from locomotives and donkey
engines burning wood are responsible for
many fires and the custom of burning
slashings is least of the three principal
causes of fires spreading to forests.
Repeal all our game laws. Permit
only owners of the soil to hunt, shoot or
trap thereon,' except their guests, and In
their presence. They may delegate their
rights to take game without further
warrant. Trespass laws restricting the
old-time hunters will be very unpopular.
but It must come to that If forests are
to be protected. Owners should organize
thoroughly In the interest of efficient leg
islation and enforcement of protective
laws, at whatever cost. Even the Rod
and Gun Club rents or purchases Its
grounds, and protects Its rights thereon.
