Address All Communications to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES Marslifleld ..... Orrgon SENATOR CnAMIIEKLAIX. The people of Oregon, while over whelmingly In favor of the Repub lican party and Its policies, appear to have no patience with the sentiment which is opposed to what Is called "Statement No. 1." They have therefore rebuked the party by designating Governor Geo. E. Chamberlain as their choice for United States senator. The an omalous example Is thus presented of a Republican state and a Republican legislature electing a Democratic senator on the first ballot. It seems like an absurdity, but the Repub lican party has only Its own stub borness and stupidity to thank for it. If Mr. Cake had not been sus pected of catering to the class which objects to such laws and practices as Statement No. 1 Is a samplo of, ho would have been elected and if Senator Fulton had been a State ment No. 1 man he never would have been displaced by the party or by the state. It is hard to understand why ho should now persist in assert ing that a Republican legislature will not send a Democrat to the sen ate when he has seen so many recent manifestations of tho trend of public opinion. Party government is probably necessary, but extreme partisanship is no larger at a premium. The radical Republican or Democrat is not as great a hero to his party as sociates as he formerly was. The people who are not In politics are not as partisan as formerly and are waking up to realize that while they have blindly accepted the dicta of party leaders, the public has been neglected, private concerns have fat tened at the expense of the people and the public domain has been stolen. What the people of Oregon want is an application of Roosevelt policies and If they suspect the leaders of Roosevelt's party of being opposed to them, they will turn to the other party for aid. In other words, they still want the Repub lican party to sorvo them, but if the Republican party won't do It, they ' will ask tho Democratic party tp try. Absurd and dangeious as this may bo, tho people are determined and might as well bo accepted as a final factor in the contest. Now, efforts aro being made to get Republicans to switch from their pledges and vote against Chamber Iain tho people's choice. What methods will bo employed? Will corruption offer bribes? Will cor porate wealth mako Oregon a spec tacle of disgrace and betrayal of the popular will? Who urges a man who has given his solemn pledge to voto for tho peoplo's choice, to betray the people? Who sooks to defeat the popular will? Certainly Mr. Cako will not bo found In tho ranks of such advisers. If Senator Fulton takos such a position, what Is his standard of honor? If ho wants others to break so solemn a pledge, what faith can any man havo In his pledges? Tho Statement No. 1 man, who has been olected as a Repub lican to tho state legislature and who goes back on his pledgo Is not mere ly n traitor, but is so lacking In com mon honesty as to bo worthy of ab horrence. It is not concoivablo that any man will soil out his honor or his prospects for any sum of money : in such a caso for it will end his career In Orogon. While tho Times doploros tho dllomna yet it recog nizes that a truo Republican is an honest man and a truo American, and that neither an honest mnu nor a truo American will doubt that tho safety of this republic lies In tho rulo of the people through majorities. The corner stono of Republicanism Is, "Redeem every pledgo. With the Toast and Tea i : , I,.,, .mi,,.,, i X GOOD EVENING. a A To know what you prefor In- ?

Singing along as the old world goes, Under tho shadow or under the rose; Singing along, with the old world so sweet, Blue skies above and the rose at our feet! Singing along It's the way to keep up When the wine of life's bitterness brims In the cup! Singing along through the light and the gloom The bleak, barren hills and the val leys of bloom! Singing along' as the old world flies, On to the hopes that are bright as the skies. On to the love and the dreaming sing on, For the road winds to rest and the dreams lead to dawn! 4 It was a bright Coos Bay youngster who wanted his papa to tell him how it was possible to change his mind If he couldn't move his brain.

A young man who is very particu lar about his washing recently wrote a note to his washerwoman and one to his sweetheart, and by a strange fatality he put the wrong address on each envelope and sent them off.

Why does the man who shaves him self always feel called on to explain that he doesn't boycott the barber to save money? It seems to be on bis conscience. The man he Is telling all about It doesn't care what the object Is whether It is to save enough money to buy an automobile or whether It is to test a scientific experiment. Certainly it Is constitutional for him to shave himself, and wo do not see why ho doesn't proceed with the pleas ure of nicking himself up and let it go at that without so much protesting.
