The Late City Election.
PortlafiS, Dec. 19. To the Editor of
The Journal: I Would not wish to say
anything further relating to th Jour
nal's statement that the result of th
recent city election indicated a conspir
acy on the part of those who, In largest
numbers, attended the polls, were it
not for the fact that they were merely
doing the logical thing that voters are
supposed to do.
A number of men can, in .a legisla
ture, conspire to catch a time when a
large number of those who are opposed
to their scheme Is absent and put their
proposition through, but such a charge
can not well be laid at the feet of those
who go to the polls and regularly and
lawfully discharge their duty as clti
sens. - -
Certainly all the blame for the result
of the recent election. If blame is due
anywhere; rests with those who. being
friends of th pending amendments,
failed to go. to the polls and thereby
showed themselves unappreclatlve not
only of the commissioners but of the
commission - form of , government, pro
vided the latter was at issue, which
cannot well be claimed.
In other words, if the friends of the
proposed amendments did not think
enough of their importance- to give them
their support, why should not their ab
stention from voting be a fair basis for
the charge that they conspired to give
them a black yT
Frequently during the progress of
the campaign the Journal gave the
timely advice that everybody should go
to the polls and vote no matter how
but It was "the duty of everybody to
vote," general apathy should be
strangled.
That was good advice, but do you
think that those who most generally
followed it should for that reason be
accused of being conspirators against
gopd government?
My point is that ifanybody should
be blamed, it Is those who failed to do
their duty and not those who unques
tionably did, and that If a "menace" Is
to be seen anywhere In the matter. It Is
composed of those who, if you are right
In your conclusion as to that phase of
the matter, stayed away from the polls
and failed to perform their duty, as you
exhorted them to do.
Now, honor bright, don't you believe
that all your lampooning should be di
rected against those whom you believe
were largely In favor of the amendments
but, after all, did not think enough of
them to go to the polls, and not against
those who loyally discharged their obli
gations as citizens?
It appears to me to be rather a serious
matter to designate a majority of the
people who go to the polls as conspira
tors against good government and as
constituting a "menace." We. have elim
inated the political boss and trusted
the people with these matters that con
cern them most, and it Is not conceiv
able that they will conspire against
their best Interests. Really, who Is
capable of deciding when an Intelligent
vote has been cast? If Smith, who is a
professional thug, casts his vote for
Wilson or Roosevelt for president, and
Jones, who is a college professor, casts
his vote the same way, who has cast the
most intelligent vote. Smith or Jones?
Of course there are times when the
people vote In the most provoking man
ner. In fact, I can recall a primary
election or two in which they appeared
to show a most reckless waywardness
an to what was best for the common
wealth, but as they were the masters.
their verdict was final. The beauty of
the Oregon system Is that the people
themselves have the right to decide their
own public matters and when they have
done that we should not be their ac
cusers should we?
T. T. GEERr
(The day after the special election,
The Journal said editorially: "Once
more the stay-at-home can take stock
of his handiwork. He is responsible for
the wreck In yesterday s election. He
stayed away from the polls, and left the
voting to George. He entrusted govern
ment to the other fellow, and the good
measures on the ballot were all beaten."
On the following day, the Journal,
after explaining how only 18 out of 227
registered electors voted In one precinct
and giving similar figures In other pre
cincts, said editorially: '
"It was the stay-at-homes that beat
the municipal court amendment. It was
apathy that caused the wreck of Tues
day v " . '
In the editorial the day after election.
The Journal made the statement that if
60 per cent of the stay-at-homes had
gone to the polls aha voted, all the good
measures would, have carried. Governor
Geer tries to put the paper in a false
position. It never claimed that all who
opposed the measures were conspiring
against commission governments Hun
dredar of iopie -opposed: the-theasures
from honest oonvlctions. But Is is still
true and will remain tru that various
antl-commlsslon government leaders
opposed all the measures. The fact that
they did so and that The Journal says
they did so, does not make all who
voted against 'the measures conspira
tors and does not, as Mr. Geer assumes,
make The Journal say all were con
spirators.) ,
Champion Chamberlain's Cause.
Portland, Dec. 19. To the Editor of
The Journal It furnishes a sad chapter
In the history of Portland to witness
the weird spectacle at the city hall in
regard to Russell Chamberlain. Mr.
Chamberlain as a veteran in the Civil
war rind as an old employe of the city,
is deserving of loyal support from
every grateful and loyal cltisen of thij
community. The history of the past
barely knows an Instance where an oid
warrior, a brave soldier and a faithful
citizen became a thing to bo sloughed
off and cast away. Gratitude and Jus
tice are still the great virtues of our
people, hence many are Interested in
the welfare of Russell Chamberlain.
Old age, and especially in a veteran
must be honored and supported.- A peo
ple unappreclatlve of the services of its
forefathers Is an ungrateful genera
tlon, to be despised, and double dishonor
shall be meted out to it.
Loyalty to and honor for our veter
ans is a duty that the keen minded per
ceive at all times.
FATHER GREGORY.
State's Duty to Unemployed.
Portland, Dec. 20. To the Editor of
The Journal Some of the arguments
made at Salem against Governor West's
plan for relief of the unemployed do
not do credit to progressive Oregon.
Treasurer Kay said he thought a sub
scription list should be taken up; that it
was not a proper subject for state aid.
This statement Is amazing, having re
gard to Mr. Kay's high position in the
affairs of the state. The state owes
the same duty to the unemployed as it
does to the weak, the poor and the de
fective. All are product of its socisl
and Industrial system. As well suggest
passing the hat to take care of the In
sane and blind! Such talk is not only
out of harmony with the spirit of the
times and unintelligent; more, it Is
cruel and shows an utter lack of sym
pathy with the down side of life. We
could understand government 60 years
ago refusing to. recognize any "duty to
those starving for want of work. But
In this day of workmen's compensation,
widows' pensions, minimum wage and
old age benefits, Mr. Kay's is a lone
voice in high places.

If It Was a Bargain?
When vou can combine investment and pleasure in
j a gift, there should be no reason for hesitating.
Our Special $100 Diamond Ring is not only a good investment, but
it is a pleasure and satisfaction to wear such an article. You can com
pare it -with other diamond rings that have sold for a great deal more;
in fact, we doubt very much if you can secure such a diamond bargain
elsewhere. When we tell you a diamond is perfect, we mean you cannot
find a flaw with a strong glass not merely eye perfect, as one jeweler
will tell you, which means you cannot see it with the naked eye. Such
a guarantee means nothing. Our diamond prices will convince you that
we understand the diamond business. - " -
