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-

AN ARTICLE manufactured for

throughout the, state, and the
publication of which is pre-;

"A ereat many Republicans are be-!

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

President " Roosevelt last
week, takes a broad view of con-
ditlons, and bis remarks on that oc
casion. 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

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
