"FIXING ISSUES."
THEFTS OF GENTLEMEN.
In addressing Sherwood, alias
"Captain McCook," on Friday in the
district court, Judge Ellis told him
that he was to bo partially excused
'lor stealing fCOO from Pendleton peo
pie, on the ground that he was ai
parently a gentleman, and was led
astray. Sherwood was sentenced to
three and one-half years in the state
prison. At the same session of court
the judge sentenced a boy to two
and one-half years in the state prison
for stealing a watch and chain, with
a more severe lecture for the boy
than for the man. The judge was
absolutely conscientious in his acts
here referred to, and did what he
thought best. It Is merely interest
ing to comment briefly upon the sug
gestion that gentlemen do not steal
and defraud their fellows.
It appears to the East Oreconian
that Captain McCook did not receive
a sentence of sufficient severity if his
offense be compared with that of the
boy. The boy is not excusable. Any
boy eighteen years of age knows bet
ten than to steal. This must be ad
mitted. But, if a boy of eighteen re
1
mam two and one-half years in the
penitentiary for stealing a watch
and chain, then a man like Sherwood
suouid receive more than three and
one-half years of imprisonment for
scheming for weeks to defraud peo
pie who placed confidence in him,
auu received him in a friendly man
nor as a comppanion.
There is a dlscrepency somewhere
. n.u oomcura oi auer'vood was
rlflit orwl 1
-o-v me uuj-a sentence was
wrong, or the hoy's wns wrong and
that of Sherwood was too short, or
uoui were wrong. Sherwood vinlnto.i
the law of God and man in almost
every mauner that he could, so far as
cuuae iaws relate to stealing. He
uucieu to the crime of taking what did
not belong to him that of violating
the law of hospitality, for he was re-
ceivetl here to some extent socially.
Sherwood was not a gentleman.
Gentlemen do not steal. Gentlemen
do not violate the confidence of their
friends. Gentlemen do not scheme
throughout weeks and weeks to de
fraud their fellows. Gentlemen do
not lie. Gentlemen are honorable,
and when a man Is seen in the pris
oners dock as a self-conf eased crim
inal, you may rest assured that he
has not about him enough of the
qualities of a gentleman to supply
the nature of one of the Lllliputs told
in uuuiver's Travels.
Uited States Senator William A.
Clark, of Montana, has been proposed
for the leadership of the democratic
party in the coming campaign. Let
democrats read Senator Clark's idea
of statesmanship:
"The issues are not yet fixed."
"Fixing" issues has always been
Senator Clark's strong suit. He Is
probably one of the most accom
plished fixers in the country. He is a
fixer from the town called Fixerville,
from which came all expert fixers.
He is deau of the college of fixers.
He is a past master of the fixing art,
and centainly if fixing things be the
desideratum, Senator Clark should
he selected as the national chairman.
Senator Clark's methods are expen
sive, however, and might cost much
money, more than is usually spent
In democratic campaigns.
There is only one weakness in his
policy, and that is that Issues "fix"
themselves, the people of the United
States being the determining power j
in saying what it is that they are con
cerned for In a political way.

AN AFFIRMATIVE CAMPAIGN.
The present weakness of the demo'
cratic position is that it Is negative.
This makes the democratic party a
party of objectionlsts merely, and the
American people do not take to
'kickers." It is tiresome to be only
forninst the government." Some
positive affirmations are desired by
most members of that party.
"I object" is less effective than "1
believe," as an expression of party
faith. Therefore, let the democracy
sift out the Issues before the coun
try, and formulate a statement of po
litical belief that will tell to the na
tion exactly what the organization
desires to do, and then let men be
named who will stand for positive ef
fort to place in effect those desires.
For instance, most people are
weary of a program with reference to
the Philippines that contemplates for
ever objecting to what the republican
party leaders propose and attempt to
accomplish. The national democracy
must tell us affirmatively what it
wants and will do with the islands.
and then the intelligent voter can
makes his decision as to how his bal
lot will be cast.
