If they would have a say In future government is to pled W. J Bryan next Nov ember. This Is the onlv thinn that would stop Mr. Fulton and his followers in tnelr mad career. The voters who have three times elected toivernor Chamber lain and who legalized Statement No. 1, have It In their power and It la fast becoming their solemn dutv to stop this I : lilt y onsl.iusrlit of Senator KiiUun lil I lie ueiioTiian on the free ballot by rivini5 the state lo Hryan The decency of lirvan. as compared to t Viet r methods, would be a fitting lick to bit them.

Iirnoiyht flboilt jby the honest voters of that party who ' have more than once positively rebuked their leaders because, of their corrup--jtion. If the honest Republicans of this l state were to assist in the election of j Hryan hh they did ln the election of 4 I Chamberlain therebv susiai nine; the pe' a i pie s rule, they would have little diffi culty tn ,'ik.iIti assuming party control of the 5 'ate. because this e,ood act vvouid prev cut the dissolution of the or any member thereof, usurped the Ju dicial powers which belong; solely to the courts? The functions of coriftress (tho senate Is no exception) are legislative, not judicial. The "unconstitutional" contention of their argument represents their wish, not a fact. But like muny more of their statements, their "argu ment" on this queHtlon hides a mu Itl t ude of sins. The stand of this political gang; of Shvlorks will and should drive the bet ter element of the rank and file of the C o P In 'iregon out of the partv and disrupt it If the time has come for the grand old partv of Lincoln to bo defeated, let it lie defeated ln the open and fairly and 8o,uarelv meeting the Issues as they arise hy honest politics and common decency, not through iieacuerv against toe people and repu diation of true 'Republicanism." Principles, jf auund, never die al though conditions mav affect them to some degree, but the great underlying principle under our form of government Is "Shall the people rule," and the pow er to make laws, amend them, or add to the constitution )y amendment as changed conditions may demand, waa vested ln the common people hv the signers of the Declaration of Independ ence and the constitution adopted bv them, not ln the hands of a lot of polit ical tricksters and conspirators, who nlwSVs will ;iltrtmnt to .le...

If the Oregonlan gets much comfort from Its attitude in championing the cause of a band of political pirates It Is welcome to all It enovs. The efforts of the Oroeonlan, however, have laid it open to criticism on the part of every honest reformer, irrespective of partv Hurrah for Brvan' CHARLES LAMFERT. EDISON PHONOGRAPH represents not only the original sound-reproducing idea invented by Mr. Edison, but it also represents every improvement Mr. Edison has been able to make in his original invention. It is an improvement that the Edison Phonograph uses a reproducing point of such hardness that it lasts for years and does away with the annoyance of continually having to change needles It is an improvement that the horn is constructed in such a way as to give the greatest clear ness and volumue of sound, without sacrificing the quality of the sound. It is an improvement that the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records can be bought so cheaply that they make good music possible to all. Did you ever try making your own records? THE EDISON PHONOnAPII also offers a form of amusement which csnrot be obtained In any other similar Instrument, and that is the fun of making vour own records For a small ' additional expense vou can obtain from us a recorder and blank records by which von t in 4 make your own records, and listen to the sound of your own voice and that 'of' your friends 4& ii i ej Ui 1 u uu in may ue tttiu in inis way.
