I CHAMBgRLADTS PARDONS. P Mr. Cake's friends want to pro mote the election of Governor . Chamberlain, their plan of at tacking Mr. Chamberlain's ad ministration as governor is the best ,way in the world to do it. The more they turn the searchlight on Mr. Chamberlain's official acts, the stronger they will make him with the people. The effort to discredit bis administration of the prison at - Balem has made him j. hundreds of votes. It has provided opportunity v for his friends tp show that, notable as have been his achievements In public lands, state school lands. Ir reducible school funds, v Irrigation, flat salaries, Willamette locks and In many other ways, none of them ex ceeds his reforms at the penitentiary. The letter by Chaplain St. Piere, . published' , in Tuesday'a Journal, chows that the administration of the :, prison has been such as to reflect Infinite credit on the state of Ore . gon. Infinite care has been exer cised by Mr. Chamberlain, and with patience and assiduity he has worked out a system that has, according to Mr. St Piere, raised the standard of ' the prison to' a plane where it ap- . preaches, In the excellence of . Ha regulations, the great prisons of the east.. It has become a place of refor mation, rather than retribution. The effort is to help tnea rather than by torture and floggings to destroy them. The system of paroles and In determinate sentences has been em ployed with exacting care, and nearly always with wholesome results. Dy ing men have been sent home to die amid kindly surroundings, : rather than within the awful environments of steel bars. Under the safeguard that they could at any time be called back paroles were allowed' liberty that they might . earn support for helpless wives and children; saving the latter from becoming burdens upon the state. Important pardons granted ' had back of them the in ' dorsement of Judges, district attor neys or Jucprs In almost every in : . stance. ' ' .It is notethe cramped, narrowed mentality of. the ordinary, but the . broad,' bold mental horizon of . statesman that has occupied the ex ecutive chair during Governor Cham berlain's term. His view has been upward and forward, not hitched to . a dead and decayed precedent, and . a prison administration worthy of a progressive Oregon Is the conse- ; quence. The very humanitarianism that la in Governor Chamberlain, and that impelled him to deal in a humanitarian way with the prison ' Is the Quality that has caused him .to remember and always be on the side of the plain people in the other affairs of state. This very human- . ltarlanlsm, this consideration of the lowly and humble multitude is the , splendid trait in his character that, If he should be elected to the senate, would make him a senator whom predatory wealth could not buy, nor all the powers of Mammon compel to forget the plain people who sent him there. why they should elect Chamberlain tana and from other sections,' In all senator"- f have their answer all of which cases reports have to be ready.

AN ARTICLE manufactured for : use in Republican newspapers throughout the, state, and the publication of which is pre-; sumably paid for. starts out thus: "A ereat many Republicans are be-! ginning to soberly ask themselves,! Why should ; we elect Governor i m Chamberlain to the United States senateT' And the echo Is answering. Why, Indeed!' , ' This statement. - Introducing a studied and labored article In Mr. Cake's behalf, 7 la quite suggestive, why is it that "a great many Repub licans", are asking about Chamber lain anyway! Why have "a treat many Republicans" thought ; favor ably, as this statement -implies, of electing Chamberlain? i - The answer to these queries, and to Echo's, Is easy.- The Journal has been giving It from day to day, "A creat many Republicans have "sober ly" concluded to vote for Chamber lain because he is by long odds the abler, fitter man; because he has long served the people very faithfully and valuably; because under some , circumstances party "is a matter of secondary consideration, and because they are determined to uphold State meat No. 1 and the election of sen ators by" the people. , - , ..:.

Justify the hbpe that the asso ciation was formed for a really good purpose, and not as a means of de fending or apologizing for the "male factors -of great wealth." The asso ciation, Mr Simmons said, "was formed to improve business con ditions. It has ln view no backward step, from reforms which have been Instituted. It raises no question as to the wisdom of laws which have been placed upon the national statute books. It applauds the correction of evils ln business methods." Signs that the period of depres sion and stagnation is passing begin to' multiply, he said. "Confidence" only was now lacking, and this the Prosperity association would try to coax dbck. .. He aeprecaiea dema gogic agitation," and class spirit, and protested that the American business man is as a rule ciean ana.nonest, and then thus summarized the panic The disturbance of public confidence was not due to tne enscimeni hi re form legislation or to the punishment of specific wrong in methods, but to gross violations of law by some cor porations and grafting by some pup- lie officials and to a defective' cur rency system. Upon the heels of the Insurance exposures came the earth- auake at Ban Francisco, with the re sultant damage, amounting to several hundred millions of dollars. Impoverish lng citizens as well as insurance com panies. Then came the discovery of bribery and grafting ln some of -our large cities, the manipulation of rati- road assets, and prosecution of cor porations for violations of the laws of state and nation. These revelations naturally shook confidence.' Heforma were imperative. You, Mr. President, effected them, and today the country real lies the value and potency of the remedy. It is well to encourage optimism and to look upon the brighter side, and the ostensible spirit and purpose of the Prosperity association are commendable and calculated to do good, but lt is a wide departure from the truth to say that needed reforms have been already effected, and that all the people who brought on the mischief are perfectly good already. The reforms, ln fact, have scarcely been commenced. But we cannot ex pect much ln a short space of time. It is the biggest issue, and Its Out-1 times it Is a start to the penitentiary or there.
