Is Oregon to be republican, or demo cratic, when the vote of the day is counted? That is tlw question! If Mr. Withycombe is elected, along with his colleagues, then will the state be safely and wholesomely republican! If Mr. Chamberlain i elected even alone, the state will be. to all intents and pur poses dcmocraticj and will be so rated at home and abroad. There are grave contlngeneie wrapt In this problem. And there are none in the State of Ore jjon to determine the trenchant issue but KKrl'M.UWXS. It is up to thorn ,111.1 flimllv. The democrat of the shite cannot do tin trick. There aiv not enough of thetn. Oorgo Chamber kin must lo nut back in the executive chuir by the identical agency that put him there in the first phiee. Don't for get this. There will be no escape, for the onus of the undoing of republican Oregon will rest unquestionably upon the republicans themselves: and should .Mich a thing wine to pass, there are no limitation to sum and scope of the treachery. The Astorian is not stating .these facts upon the hppothesis that puch an untoward thing is liable to hap pen, but it is said to make it republi can colleagues and friend the more con scious of the tremendous responsibility with which they are charged on this great and grave occasion and to fortify them against the individual laches of a foolish and good-natured impulse in be .half of a man who has served his time and hi end. Stand fast, republicans and do the utmost of your duty by your county and by your state! It is either take "and make ALL: or give and loe ALL! 0 OREGON THE CYNOSUREI There are millions of deeply interested people watching Oregon this day! If these millions, the majority is intense ly and loyally republican! The organic hosts of the nation expect this state to go overwhelmingly republican in the outcome of this day's contest. 1 No one Jook for anything else. AND AS ITS COUNTIES GO so will the state go! You cannot trifle with a situation so delicate as this and save it to your selves. The work that is done in an electoral sense today, must be done with a fixed and legible dictum of a pre-de-terminated republican victory of the amplest sort on record. Nothing short of this will answer the expectations of the millions awaiting the decision. Washington and the great officers and there, the influence radiating from there are absorbed in the issues wrought here today; and the larger the majority of the republicans the closer will the state be drawn into the flood of nation al and popular endorsement, for this is a republican administration and govern ment and thereby the most prosperous on earth and as Oregon shall acquit her self this day in that behalf so will the measure of her reward be enhanced and made certain. , 0 BEWARE THE LAST LIE! This is the, day, the hour, and the in spiration of the latest and last cam paign lie. Let every man beware of it, and turn it down in silence and con tempt. It is the resort of desperate minorities always and should be easily recognizable by the very juncture at which it eomes to the front. Luckily the republicans of Clatsop have nothing to fear along this line, and whatever may be sprung for their particular bene fit, will be wholly transparent and en tirely democratic. It is not so much in ovgue as it once was, as a hiddpn weap on of discomfiture, but there are inex pert politicians who, doing a novitiate turn in the canvass, may resort to it, thinking it .serviceable and the quickest way to make it ineffective is to laugh it down and turn it under with a fillip of contempt. o NOTICE.

At a recent editorial con vention he offered the following toat: ''To -save an editor from starvation take his paer and pay for it promptly j to save him from bankruptcy, adver tise in his paper liberally! to save him from despair, send him every item of new of which you can get hold. To save him from profanity write your eorresjHmdenca plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in a early a possible. To save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only one who never make mistakes." If you know of an item or a piece of news, tell us aliout it. That's what we want. But a newspaper man some time experiences more difficulty in gatheringews than one would imag ine. This was the eav when a report er in a neighboring town who, a few days ago, was sent to write up a fire in a residence. Going to the door he inquired for the lady of the house. The maid said she wa out. "Are any of the family at home!" inquired the scrilie. "No they are all out," was the reply. "Well, wasn't there a fire here last ev ening!'' "Yes" said the hired girl, "but that's out too." It wasn't a Missouri editor but a printer' devil who was going through his first experience on "making up" forms. The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The firt part of the obiturary notice of a peeunious citizen had been dumped in the forms, and the next handful of type came off of a galley describing a recent fire. It read like this : "The pnll!earers lower ed the body to the grave and as it was consigned to the llames there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years. .Of course there was individual cy, but that was fully covered by insurance." The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented partner of her joys and sorrows owed him five years' subscription, Cures Old Sores.

When, therefore, the "local option law" was submitted to the elector for their approval at the general election held in 1904 it received a majority of the vote cast thereon, a it was believed to be a represented. Had the voters understood that the pro vision ot the law made it in many re spects a prohibition measure containing unfair provisions, and not simply local option, it would have beeu defeated. It was not fully undcrstod by the people, at the time they voted upon thU law, that it provided that the prohi bitionists might call an election every year, while those in lavor 01 license could only call au election every two years; or that the prohibitionists were permitted to group several "dry" pre cincts together with one "wet" no a to permit the majority in the dry precincts to overcome the majority in the wet precincts, and thus force a precinct to become dry even though a majority re siding in such precinct did not wish it. While it-was understood that when an lection was called for the whole county, such county would be dry if it went for prohibition, the people did not under stand that if such county election went against prohibition it did not allow the county to be wet, but mud dry such precinct in the county as voted dry. The people did not know that the law provided that when a precinct went dry it denied the right of a person living in that precinct to have liquor in his own house for the use of his family and guests. The proposed amendment to the local option law corrects these objectionable features, while not destroying or in any manner interfering with the proper pur poses of the law. The amendment provides that a local option election shall only be called every two years; prevents grouping and gerry mandering of districts, and allows each precinct to determine what shall be the rule in such precinct. So that if a ma jority of a precinct vote dry it shall be dry; if wet it shall be wet. Should the amendment be adopted, it will make the present law a purely pre cinct local option law. as it was origin ally represented to be, and which the people thought it was at the time it was MARK YOUR BALLOT THIS WAY.

There are many people who have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy with splendid results, but who are unknown because they have hesitated about giving a testimonial of their experience for publication. These people, however, are none the less friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a household word by their personal recommendations to friends and neighbors. It is a good medi cine to have in the home and is widely known for its cures of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. N. A.

The amendment alo rale the number of signature necessary to call an elec tion from 10 per cent to 30 per oent. To permit 10 per cent, a small minority of any community, to call an election puts It In the power of a few not only to thrust an exepnse upon the taxpayer of the county, but such right could be and ha been easily utiailed a a weapon of persecution or blackmail. 1 The amendment further provide that the wile of liquor in wholesale quanti ties by Ixurn tide brewer, and distilleries and winerie or wholesale house, is not to be construed a a violation of the law. The purpose of local optlou l to control the aloon and the sule of liquor In retail quantities. Under the preent law, should the preeimt In whirh a brewery is located vote dry. it would prevent the bicwry from manufacturing any beer in it present location, and force it to establish it plant In some precinct that voted wet, practically con fiscating the plant located In the dry precinct; and though a wholesaler had at great expense established hi place of business in a certain location, if the precinct in which hi buslne wa lo cated should go dry, he would be pre. vented front doing husincsA at thit loca tion, even though he did not sell to any one living within such dry precinct. The amendment proposed take this unjust and objectionable feature out of the law. The amendment further pro vide that when a precinct goe dry it shall not go Into effect until 00 day. This gives a saloon man who wa legal ly doing business in the preclnrt before it went dry time within which to di-pose of his fixtures and dock. No reasonable man can object to this provision. The present local option law was drawn by those who are in favor of pro hihition, and not local option; and it enactment was secured upon the repre sentation that it was a local option measure. Since the true effects of the provisions of such act have now been discovered and mado known, the law should be amended so that it really will be what it was originally thought and represented to he, simply a local option law; and the adoption of the amendment now proposed will make it a local op- SUMMER SCHOOL Monmouth State Normal School June 27th to August 7th and August 13th to September 7th First six weeks devoted to special preparation for County and State Exami nations.

Between prohibition and local option there ought to be a great gulf fixed Of ooure, undor the present law, which w flamed by the prohibition!.!, we will admit that there U not much different. Hut the people ran make a difference. A local option Uw U Intended only to control the location of the saloon. No one. wish to have a saloon next hi residence, and In rate where city council are rarrle, a local option Uw i desirable to correct or prevent this evil. Hut local option ws never intended to Iki a weapon in the hands of the prohibi tionist. The prohibition are uot anxious to control the saloon. They do not want to control It. They wnt It wiped out of existence altogether. They make no distinction between a great brewery or winery aud a saloon- Every thing connected with the brewing or li quor busines look alike to the prohibi tionist, and he would exterminate thm, root and branch. Of course the American people do not agree with the.- impracticable Idea. They have voted frequently for the li cense system. Hut the prohibitionist il not a believer in majority rule. No matter how small a majority he may be of the community, he U alwaya Insist ing that the rest of the people shall adopt hi view of the matter. Here 1 Astoria, for Instance, the prohibitionists have called an election la precinct fl. This election I called osten sibly to close the saloon In this district. Hut if the precinct were to go dry the North Brewery, which I one of As toria's leading Industrie, would alto have to close. Most local option law exempt breweries from their operation. Hut the Oregon local option law hvlng .been framed by the prohibitionist doe not do so. The framer of the present local law wer just as anxious to wipe out breweries a they were to close sa loons. The proposed amendment to the Jocal option law correct this defect, but It has not yet been passed by the peo ple.
