PERKINS AND TMK PKOI'I.K.
t:
HE ARG0NA1 T, discussing the
California sonatorRhlp, Fays
that It would like to see the
Pacific states represented in the
senate by men of the highest and
broadest ability, men commanding
the approval of the country by their
talents, and In worthy ways domin
ating legislation; and would es
pecially like to see California rep
resented by such a man. Hut. it
says, there Is no such man to rake
the place of Perkins. It mentions
only three. Metcalf is an equally
good man with Perkins, but no bet
ter, and would be new and so less
useful. Pardee Is "a weak crea
ture with a feminine mind." (Pardee.
It will be remembered, could not
be- entirely "run" by the S. P. boss;
BO lacks desired masculinity.) Ru
. dolph Spreckles "is noted for his
Ignorance and arrogance." (Ho
bas Incurred the displeasure of the
Argonaut and Its clientele by back
ing the effort to rid Sau Francisco
of official graft. This Is an un
pardonable sin.)
Perkins, the Argonaut says, Is
not a great man, but he is "an ex
cellent and highly respectable man,
essentially a practical man." and
should be kept In the senate. And
he will be, of course, if the Cali
fornia legislature should have a He-1
publican majority, for Doss Herri n
would order It to re-elect Perkins,
because he Is faithful to the South
ern Pacific and all allied corpora
tions, anil the "interests" generally.
SUch a man suits the Argonaut,
better than anyone except some man
of greater ability wife would serve
the same interests better. There
Is a movement just now in many
states to get rid of such senators

service the ii:s;1t at Ion has rendered

scarcely chance that Oregon has a

in judgment and so Intelligent In
its discrimination on public ques

grandeur f the mountains, the

In the midst of a nature so boun

looming large as factors in the re
