ROSEBURO man recently wrote
a very readable letter to The
Journal, agreeing, with a spice
of facetiousness, with the prop
osition that all those who voted for'
Chamberlain are Democrats; but he
went on to show that he meant that
not only they but the voters general
ly who voted for the new laws and
reform measures were Democrats
that Is, adherents of democracy as a
political system rather than, -of a
party. In the course of this tfue
and thoughtful letter he said:
"We have only to note the large
majority in favor or the amendment
to Jhe constitution, making it cofn
puisory for the members of the leg
islature to vote for the 'people's
choice for United States senator, to
know that the people aye demo
cratic."
He used the word democratic In
its generic and not its particular
sense, as he did for the most part
thr6ughout his letter, but the Pen
dleton .Tribune, with Its eyes so
glned to party that it cannot look be
yond, above or -aside from party,
supposes that the Roseburg map. had
reference merely to the Democratic
party, and says:
"There can be no greater test of a
state's political stains than Its direct
expression as to Its preference for a
felted State senator whether he
hall be a Democrat or a Repub
lican." And the Pendleton paper
goes on to reiterate that aty men who
voted for Chamberlain, and also
most of those who voted for tha re
call proportional representation, and
thftatatement No. 1 law, are Demo
crats, that Is, adherents of the Demo
cratic party. How this can be so

,: The following iajter, which The
Journal referred to IA last Saturday's
Issue, recently appeared in the New
York Sun: WtvrV
Portland, Or., June 10, 190i.--To thS
Editor of the Sun We read with, in
terest' in the Portland Oregonlan an
a-rtlclt copied: from the Sun oonoeming
the late election here and the methods
adopted for electing United States, sena
tors.
Tour remarks concerning Governor
Chhrnberlaln ware on the whole fair and
correct, and you might have rflso
thoughtfully added that he has been
tbe best governor Oregon has ' ever had.
But you have done Oregon and Its
people - a great wrong when you de
scribed It Is a crank state and said:
"Show the Or'ea-onlans anv new device
or political method to nullify a bit of
constitution or to aoprive themselves
of a representative form of government
ana iney win jump at it.
Nothing could be further from the
truth than this assertion. And if some
of our eastern critics would inform
themselves they would soon be con
vinced that the Oregonlans were patri
otic and ready to,, make any sacrifice
to uphold tho iohor of a state we are
all so justly proud of. The initiative
and referendum were not adopted here
through darkness or a desire for some
thing new but as the surest and Quick
est means to rid themselves of 4he po
litical bosses that ran for so 16ng the
affairs of this state.
A few years ago when one of our
senators, our two congressmen, and
about 40 of the leading politicians were
Indicted for land stealing and perjury
we all out here felt humiliated and sad.
The politics of Oregon was then In th
hands, of the most corrupt and brasen
ct of grafters that ever disgraced an
American commonwealth. They thought
themselves so strongly entrenched in
power that they openly celled the peo
ple and in the words of Boss Tweed
asked them what they were going to
do Rbout.it.
- Qtilte a number of them bave since
been enlightened on that subject and
are now. doing their stunt in the United
States prison and the only useful work
some of them were; aver known to per
form. '
'Instead of 'being harshly criticised,
Oregonlans. should be commended for
placing; their patriotism above partisan
ship and electing to the highest office
within 4 their gift a capable, tried and
honest Democrat, Instead of one of their
own political creed who tney did not
trust or-have any confidence in.
Ta'heiCity of Portland has now a popu
lation or BDOut zzs.uoo ana a uepubllcan
majority of about 8.000. But a Demo
crat,' Dr. Harty Lane, Is now serving
his second term as mayor of this city.
The people became disgusted with the
administration of his predecessor, who
permitted open gambling and all kinds
of fraUiia and fakes to operate her.

The Table for Ironing.
THE most convenient thing I have In
mv kitchen is my kitchen table
ironlngboard, says a contributor to
the Chicago Tribune. I have the kitchen
table padded, with the ironing cover
stretched over It and have tacked down
the edges with brass headed tacks. It
never Is In the way, and I always Iron
much faster on It because I hava a
longer and wider sweep than nn a regu
lar ironlngboard. For pressing of any
kind, especially table linens. I have
found nothing better. When this tahle
Iror.lnghoard Is not In use I keen It cov
ered with oilcloth, which bangs down
over the edge five -or alx inches so that
It will not ailp out nf place. Thle oil
cloth cover keene Trie Ironlne- surface

This correspondent might have sdded
hat it ia a great saving of labor to
have a child's high rhalr or an office
stool to sit in while Ironing on the
table.
