On ednesday night in Portland a
marriage ceremony was performed by
the Rev. W. S. Gilbert, of the Calvary
Presbyterian church, which was sup
posed to unite in the bonds of wedlock
Miss Josephine Chatterton and Eugone
F. Rice. The eroom had forgotten to
get the marriage license and promised
to get one on Thursday morning and
hare it dated back a day or two. The
minister who went through tlie moc&
ceremony ought to be prosecuted for be
ing a fool even though a license was ob
tained and dated back, because the
license was his authority to marry them,
tfnd not having the license the ceremony
was a mockery. If the license is ob
tained and dated back the official dating
it back is guilty of fraud. The only way
out of the difficulty is to get out a new
license dated the day it was issued and
let the parties be letra 11 v married. Even
if this is done the first families of Port'
land will know that one of their bright
and shining lights was practically taken
on trial, but this will soon be forgotten
if they are remarried.
If Governor Chamberlain can be in
duced to continue in the eood work he
has so vigorously inaugurated, sorely de
pressed tax-pavers will not simply rise
up and call him blessed," but will re
member him in the day of primaries and
conventions, and wCl not forget him at
the polls. An account of the unpre
cedented appropriations of the last
legislature, reaching in the aggregate
nearly (2,500,000, the taxes for the next
two years will be simply crushing, and
no. doubt much hard-earned property
will be sold to meet the demands of the
tax-gatherer. It is astounding . with
what utter indifference modern legisla
tors squander the people's money
Thev seem not to take a thought that
every dollar must be wrung from the
industrial resources of the public and
that hard labor must share its due pro
portion. When will the legislator
learn to respect the pocket of his neigh
bor?
There is no reason to doubt but Mr.
Hermann would not turn down the
nomination for congress. On the other
hand, there is good ground for the be
lief that he would not be averse to once
more representing Oregon in the lower
house at Washington. Since Mr. Her
mann is no new hand at the business
there are any number of arguments
that might with propriety be urged in
behalf of his candidacy. That he is a
vote getter and a hard worker for Ore
gon's interests goes without saying. It
is sure that he could accomplish more
than any new man could expect to do
for years to come. Salem Sentinel.
W hile many of the state newspapers
are feeding political soup to Harvey
Scott for having aspired as a quasi can
didate to the United States Senate, we
believe that if the Oregonian had not
made such a drastic fight on Hermann
that Scott would have been elected.
The old journalistic war horse made the
mistake of flushing up the bird before
he had loaded his gun that was alL and
whatever we may say or think about
Harvey Scott as a politician, personally
he is a mta of pure life and the Ore
gonian is the best and most ably edited
newspaper west of the Missouri river
The Dallas land office is to have a
change. President Roosevelt has sent
for confirmation, by the Senate the
names of Michael T. Nolan, to be regis
ter of the land office at The Dalles, Ore.,
and Miss Annie M. Long to be receiver
of public moneys, at The Dalles, Ore.
We are looking for a change that will
shake up Oregon City next.
Three weeks ago the Plaisdeai.ee
stated that there would be important
changes in the land offices in Oregon.
The register and receiver at The Dalles
have been bounced and the president
will use the ax next at Oregon City if
reports be true. Roseburg has nothing
to fear as the inspector reported to Sec
retary Hitchcock that everything was
absolutely etraight.
When, oh when, will the vetoing days
be over? If the machine keeps up
the good work much longer there will
nothing be left of the work 01 tlie au
gust body of legislators except the steals
the governor stood in with.
Has Portland Lost Power?
Can it be possible that Portland has
lost her political grip on the affairs of
Oregon?
Is it possible that with all her skilled
1 obbyists that city was unable to defeat
the country?
With all the newspapers in that city
directed against the Astoria candidate
even the Journal of Portland still he
won.
Aren t Portland methods, as mani
fested in the choice of Jack Matthews as
state chairman, getting a little shop
worn?
Is it possible that there are br ighter
newspaper men at Astoria, Baker City,
Pendleton, Eugene, Roseburg, not to
mention Salem, than Portland? -
Has the center of political power and
influence gone from the country of Mul
te-no-my?
Echo answers, it has rightfully and
everlastingly gone. Salem Journal

Roseburg Board of Trade...
On Friday night last a meeting of the
citiaens of Roseburg was hei for the
purpose of electing officers of the Board
of Trade.
Upon motion it was resolved that ths
officers .of the association consist of a
president, vice president, secretary,
treasury and three members to be
elected to act with the officers and the
whole to compose the executive
mittee of the Board of Trade.
Upon motion the following gentle
men were elected to fill the offices
President. F. W. Woolley;
Vice President, F. B. Waite;
Secretary, C. S. Whitcomb;
Treasurer, B. W. Strong.
Upon motion President Woolley waa
requested to nominate three eitvaent of
Roeebnrg and members the association
fill the three vacancies on the executive
committee and to submit their names
at the next meeting of the membership
for approval.
The committee on furniture, fixtures
and renting the hall made their report
which was as lollows : The office on the
lower floor on Jackson street of the
Douglas Countv Bank, ocoupied by the
RoseburiT Lumber Company, had been
o '
secured at a rental of $30 per month
that furniture and fixtures had been
bought to the amount of flGO, subject
to the approval of the membership at
that meeting; and upon motion the
report of the committee was approved
and the committee continued t make
the nurchase so as to open the rooms
this morning.
Upon motion the president was in
structed to call a meeting of the Execu
tive Committee and employ a suitable
person to act as assistant secretary and
take charce of the room, exhibits and
advertising matter.
And now that the Roseburg Board ol
Trade has been orsanired on business
lines and with business methods, it is
hoped that Roseburg will be pulled out
of the ruts or the ruts filled in so that
DrosDrritv can be felt in proportion to
the energy we put forth. We believe
that Roseburg, or at least the progress
ive element, want prosperity and enter'
prise to strike the town and are willing
to pay for it. At present the active
membership of the Board of Trade have
agreed to pay into the fund ten
dolir
Der month each for membership. We
learn that eighteen have signed.
That there is a determination to push
forward the true interests of the town
the above clearly proves, and when men
pay out such sums of money they are in
earnest and intend to do just as they
say they will. A prominent citizen and
democrat said to the editor of the Plaix
dealer one dav last week: "What
Roseburg needs is new blood, new en-
tet prises, new issues and the burying of
political malice and all work together
for the city's true interest, and while
we invite new-comers and give them a
hearty welcome, we want to make Rose
burg attractive to men and women who
are looking for a community in which
there are good schools, good churches,
good society in which to make them feel
at home and let them know that they
are surrounded by a moral, law-abiding
community famous for the enforcement
of law."
Such sentiments put in force is what
will helD to double the population of
the town in the next three years and
make Roseburg the second city in Or
egon. . .
What we need to do is not merely to
put np money, but give oar time and
work for the prosperity of the city, give
every stranger a glad, warm welcome
and make him feel at home.
And there is another matter that
should be attended to by that Board of
Trade and that is. to frown down the
knocker. There are men in Roseburg
whose only business seems to be to
knock. If we take a chronic knocker at
every enterprise, every church, school,
or person in town whom he does ' not
like or whose business he does not un
derstand, nine times out of ten, that
man is a failure in life or has a case of
torpid spleen. Now, no man on earth
can tell exactly what functions in the
human a&atomjr the spleen fills, but
they do know that when that organ gets
out of fix and becomes putrid that the
jig is up for the man dies poisoned by
his own rottenness ; but while science
cannot give the man a new spleen nor
cure the diseased organ, enterprise aad
good business methods can overcome
the knocker by diagnosing his case and
then like a public pest let him alone to
pass away and bless the earth by his ab
sence. A knocker in any enterprising.
progressive town is more shunned and
boycotted in a social and business man
ner than a man who has the seven year
itch, for the knocker is a corn, wart and
whopplecork upon every public enter
prise. And while we are writing we
may just as well finish now as any other
time what is on our mind and what we
have beard. Do not talk to strangers
about , the rottenness of this or that cit
izen nor bring the prominent families
into disrepute, for the man who is con
tinually airing such affairs to strangers
in order to prejudice them is generally
a moral leper and should be detested as
a slanderer if nothing more. Now these
sentiments are the pure gospel accord'
ing to Brookes and he cares not who may
approve, accept or reject the same.
nor does he care for the knockers who
are now so vigorously trying to knock
the Plaixdealer's utterances. The
knocker will dig bis own grave and in
charity the Plaindealek ending up the
obituary will say: "Requiescat in
pace." '

Republican Trusts.
The trusts got some hard blows in
this Congress. One blow ia dealt them
by a provision of the act creating the de
partment of commerce. They will get
another from the antitrust bill which
will be pasued. The Senate committee
on the judiciary is strengthening the
Littlefield bill in tlie poirts where it
thinks that measure needs StTengtening,
and probably the Senate will pass a bill
on the lines which its committee favors.
If that be the cae, the matter will go to
a conference of both chambers, and
some adjustment will be had that will
be satisfactory to Congress and the
President. The Republican party will
carry out its pledge on the trust ques
tion, aa it has done on all other Issues.
