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.

SINGING ALONG.
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!

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 Coos Bay pupil's definition of a
spine. "A spine is a long, slender
bone; your head sits on one end and
you sit on the other.
"Do you like dates?" asked W. R.
Haines of Geo. Goodrum.
"The kind you eat or the kind you
keep?" Geo. asked back.
Pa Might Grow in Grace.
"Pa," said little Tommy, getting
a bright Idea, "I can do something
you can't."
"What?" demanded his father.
"Grow!" replied the youngster.

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. Thn
washerwoman was sent the invitatlo
to take a ride the next day, but whos
the young lady read: "If you tumble
up my shirt bosom any more, as yc
did last time, I'll go somewhere elr.

Suspicious Circumstance.
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.
Parts He Saw.
"Now, Tommy," said the visiting
echool director to the small boy who
was supposed to know something about
grammar, "what are the parts of
speech?"
"The tongue, tho lips and the throat,"
replied tho bright child without hesitation.

"Do you bellovo in tho freedom of

"You bet, but I always make one
stipulation."
"What Is that?"
"That tho freedom shall be all on my

"I didn't know you played tho piano."
"Sure, I do."
"Expert?"
"All of that. Why, I can play with
