BOOSTIXO TO HOLD BUSINESS.
The National Prosperity Associa
tion Is a movement to restore na
tional confidence. It proposes to do
it by substantially stopping the talk
about hard times nnd to bring into
tho business world and business con
ditions a more wholesome and cheer
ful view of essential facts. Up to
a certain point it is a good idea, and
has Its merits In about the same
ratio as the advocation of a faith
cure proposition would have to any
business proposition. Up to a cer
tain point it is a whole lot better
to talk about good times than bad
times, even if tho assumption is sub
stantiated that public confidence is
a mere matter ot sentiment.
"But," adds the Wall Street Jour
nal, "prosperity can not be made al
together by talking prosperity. There
must bo something else to support
such a movement. This year it must
have tho support of ample crops. It
must have also the support of favor
able political results. It must like
wise have the support of a changed
public attitude toward corporate in
terests. This change must not in
volve a reaction toward bourbonlsm,
a reversal of nil that has been gained
for tho uplifting of American busi
ness methods In tho last few years.
But It must involve a cure of that
hysteria which leads to extreme radi
cal agitation against property rights
and investment interests."
Tho most optimistic person will
admit that along these lines of
theory most of the causes for public
discontent are psychological. There
1s, however, one important thing not
to bo overlooked. Wild politics can
destroy the confidence of a nation
in one night.

OF DOUBTFUL EXPEDIENCY.
There Is much reabon to doubt tho
"wisdom of tho action ot the Repub
lican State Convention, recently ad
journed, in Its absolute suppression
of Senator Bourne and all his friends
as to any sort of recognition what
ever. Mr. Bourne has some following in
'Oregon, at least is one of our United
States seuatois; will servo yet lor
two-thirdb of his ontlre term, and
was entitled to some recognition In
n state convention which has Itself
no standing in the state law and was
composed of men chosen by tho dif
ferent county contral committees,
To ho sure, It was necessary to
hold a state convention, says tho
Pondloton Tribune. Thoie was no
better way to provide for it in tho
absonco of any form under tho pri
mary law than tho one adopted, and
It was composed of representative
republicans; but it Is extremely
doubtful if this form of absolute ef
faccinont of ono of our United States
sonators was an exhibition of good
policy, or if it will luivo a beneficial
effect upon tho party In tho future.
Thero woro soiuo of Senator Bour
ne's frionds who uro strong Taft inon,
oven though tho senator Is not, and
tho recognition of a fow of thorn
would have savored less of intoler
ance and more of a disposition to
concedo tho rights of minorities,
whoso support is at all times neces
sary to assure success.
Snap judgmont nnd tho thumb
screw, especially whon rigorously ap
plied, aro not tho most approved in-
greuionts in the lormation or a
healthy and cffectlvo political party.
It is bitch "drastic" measures as
this action by tho Stato Convention
that created a. btrongcr demand for
primary laws and soiuo of the move
ments lu its walio that border on tho
absurd. The platform It adopted is
In tho main composed of sound doc
trino, but tho rights of minorities
should, In sonio dogruo nt least, havo
boon recognized.
It pays to bo genorous within rca
Eonablo bounds, mid Bolflshnoss is nt
tho very foundation of most of
human troubles.
At the North Bend Methodist Epis
copal church, the regular services
will be held. The Rev. W. R. F.
Browne of Marslifleld, will preach In
the evening on "What Makes a City
or a Nation Great." All are cordial
ly Invited.

Tho question is not whether the
women have a right to vote, but It is
whether we have a right to compel
them all to vote at the dictation of a
very small minority of their own
number. It Is certain the vast
majority ot our women do not wish
the ballot. The laws for the protec
tion of women are improving steadily
with the years and every Interest
of hers is as well " safe-guarded as
that of any men. If you wish to
protect the rights of women, ask
yourself today, does my wife want
to vote, does my sister, doe3 my
mother claim it to be her privilege?
If they do not, what right havo I to
compel them to do it by my ballot?
But It Is said we need the ballot
of women to aid us In government.
But Is it expedient? Will society
be Improved by the granting of the
ballot to women? Will the better
element of women come to the front
as political workers and All our of
fices, or will the worse? Which Is
the better element of women? The
quiet and unassuming queens of our
homes, our mothers, sisters, wives
and sweethearts, or will politics be
controlled by the clubwomen? This
is not an untried experiment. Four
states have given the ballot to wom
en unconttitlonauy, ana alter 3U
years of women's voting, politics has
not arrived at tho moral standard of
our own state, in Wyoming, Colo
rado, Idaho or Utah. But you say,
"There are not as many women as
men In Wjomlng." Yes, but in
Utah women aro so plentiful that
seven or eight of them club together
and keep one husband between them,
and with this numerous company
they have not closed the saloons, or
closed the brothels, or prevented
gambling dens, or purified politics.
Indeed, there are not four states In
our Union where politics is so cor
rupt as in the four states where
women vote. It Is a sad picture
where a man, for the sake of ofllce,
sells his Integrity, but It Is a sad
der, and a common sight, in the
states where women vote, to see wo
men sell their virtue for offices.
Can Give Specific Incidents.
I can give specific Incidents with
names, places and dates, where wo
men, desiring to he assistant county
clerks, etc., are sent from the can
didates' ofllce to the political boss to
there offer her all at the shrine of
a man, who ,but for politics, would
not be allowed to enter her home.
In every woman's suffrage state, the
proverb has had a double emphasis
that "Pontics make strange com
panions." If you wish to prevent such condi
tions in Oregon, vote "No" on the
woman suffrage amendment on June
1st.

PRESIDENT OF LELAND STANFO III) JUNIOR UNIVERSITY WRITES
ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON CRISIS.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
May 13, 1908. Mr. Edward Rosen
berg, Astoria, Oregon: In response
to a request from Sir. Hylen I am
giving you my opinion as to certain
matters connected with the salmon
fishing In the Columbia. As you
know, I was the first Commissioner
ever sent out to Investigate tho sal
mon. I spent some time In Astoria
in 1880 and I have made a number
of visits there or farther north in the
same interest since then. I have not
changed my opinion In this time as
to these matters.
(1) The flsh wheel and the sta
tionary tra"p in the Columbia River
should he abolished. It would be
well for the fishing interests of the
country if the stationary trap in all
of its various forms was everywhere
eliminated, for this is the most des
tructive and undlscriminating kind
of fishing. On the Columbia, where
the river is narrow and swift, the i

Very truly yours,

ORANGE GRANGE SPEAKS.
The Oregon State Grange passed
the following resolutions at Its meet
ing this month:
Whereas, There has been reforred
to the Committee on Resolutions for
consideration two flsh bills relat
ing to the fishing industry to be
voted on at the June election, bills
No. 319 and 332, respectively:
Your Committee has carefully ex
amined into these two bills as far
as their time would permit and have
to report that we favor proper pro
tection to all natural spawning
grounds; and to that end we con
demn as a great detriment to said
industry and to our State the opera
tion of fish wheels in the narrows

(3) I would also recommend
that a careful study of gill-net and
similar methods of fishing be made,
with a view to the ultimate interest
of the fishing industry, as even if
worse forms of fishing were eliminat

gill-nets for tho size of tho river.

TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS
A
N OVERWHELMING majority of Oregon's voters by reg
istration have formally declared that they believe in the
principles of tho Republican Party. Let them now show
that they are honest by voting in accordance with their de
clarations. The Oregon election conies before the Repub
lican National Convention. Let every Republican voter in
the First Congressional District uphold tho honor of the Re
publican Party In Oregon and strengthen tho influence of
Oregon's delegation in tho National Convention by voting
for II. M. Cake for United States States Senator and W. C.
llawley for Representative in Congress. If either of these
Republican nominees fail of election, the Primary election
system will bo discredited and a return of boss rule will bo
invited. The good namo of Oregon's voters will bo smirch
ed nnd Oiegon's delegation to tho National Convention will
bo placed In a humiliating position. For tho effect it will
have on tho November election it is imperative that all
tho Republican nominees in tho Juno election shall bo elect
ed by an overwhelming majority. As a bellover in tho prin
ciples of tho Republican Party, it is your duty to be at the
polls Juuo 1st nnd voto for Cako and llawley.
