SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1902.
AMEND ELECTION LAWS.
An amendment to the election laws
providing for the prompt reporting of
the result in each election precinct to
the county clerk of each county, is
in order.
In the recent election tho news of
the woting was delayed by the fail
ure of judges and clerks in many pre
cincts to make any report of the re
turns, outside of the one which they
locked up in the ballot box, which
they forwarded to the county clerk,
but which could not be made availa
ble until the day of tho ofllcial count.
It would be a very easy matter for
the election law to be amended to
cover this defect, requiring the judges
to make out and send to the county
clerk, outside of the ballot box, a re
port of the returns of the election,
in their precinct, simple blanks being
provided by the county for that pur
pose. In this way a reliable report of the
result of the election would be known
to the whole people within 24 hours,
at the furthest, after-the polls "were
closed.
This requirement would not add to
the expense of elections, while it
would increase the benefits greatly,
by freeing the public mind of the
doubt now arising from the existing
conditions in connection with an elec
tion. If this requirement had been in
force in the recent election the result
of the election would have been known
Tusday afternoon, and thousands of
persons who were kept on the anx
ious seat, and most of them idle for
several days, could have returned to
their work or business, thus saving
a large amount of valuable time to
them, which was absolutely wasted,
not raying anything of tho wrack of
mind and body, caused by tho uncer
tainty and unreliability of conflicting
reports.
the Ohio republicans as a trust
smasher?
Action Is better than wordsl
THE FALL ELECTIONS.
ACTION AND WORDS.
Tho Ohio republicans, in their state
platform, written under tho eagle eyo
of Mark Hanna, United States senator
and political boss in' several states,
are bravo in their denunciation of
trusts:
"All combinations that stifle com
petition, control prices, limit produc
tion or unduly increase profits or
values, and especially when they raise
tho prices of necessities of life, are
opposed to public policy and should
bo repressed with a strong hand."
While Mr. Hanna's party is thus
Btrlklng at tho food trust, the beef
trust, tho sugar trust and several
others, Mr. Hanna is busy figuring on
a plan to promote a ship subsidy
trust and is influential and prominent
in promoting the railroad, coal and
steel trusts.
Tho question presents itself: "Why
is not the republican congress as
bravo in action as the Ohio republi
can party Js In speech?" Mr. Hanna,
the public is creditably informed, ia
in a position to answer this question.
Tho party that promises tho most Is
prono to perform very little!
If tho republican congress would
remove tho tariff on imports of food
stuffs it would do more to break tho
cinch of tho trusts than all tho reao
lutlng of republican state conventions
will accomplish in 100 years. It
would smash certain monopolies, with
promptness and dispatch. Why does
not Senator Hanna tako tho lead in
this matter Instead pf posing boforo
Twenty-five states will elect gover
nors this fall. The people of Oregon
will be in position to watch the con
tests, being relieved of the burdens
of an election at home by having al
ready passed through the ordeal. The
states in which elections arc to be
held this fall are as follows: Arkan
sas, California, Colorado, Connect!
cut, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New York, Nortli Dakota, Pennsyl
vanla, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
South Dakota" Tennessee, Texas, Ver
mont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Interest in tho coming contests has
already commenced to be stirred up,
the convention season having opened
several days ago. The democrats are
hopeful In all tho states and will wage
battle against their old-time foes with
more than usual vigor. It Is possible
that they may obtain a majority in
the lower house of congress, however
the republicans will make a strong
effort to disappoint them in this.
The result of these elections will
bo accepted as water on the wheel of
one or the other of tho parties for tho
presidential Krist of 1904. but that
event is too far off to oxcito the in
terest of tho voters as much as that
of the politicians in this connection.
AMEND THE ELECTION LAWS.
The Journal proposes and will pre
sent to tho legislature the proposition
that such amendment to the election
laws be adopted as will euro the an
noying delays m getting returns after
tho polls have closed. It is insuffera
ble .that two or three days should
elapse from the end of tho election to
tho time when an approximation of
tho vote can bo known.
The proposition certainly would
pass unanimously just now, were it
submitted to popular vote. The peo
pie of Oregon are out of patience
with tho election laws in that thoy
do not provide means whereby tho
results can be hurried to the people
just as soon as possible after tho
voters have registered their wishes.
The proposition that ought of right
to go beforo tho coming, legislature,
and which the Journal will nsk snmn
representative member to offer, is
tnis:
Let tho law stand as at present, In
so far as the working machinery is
concerned, with this addition, that all
countv clerks shall bo Instructed to
employ special deputies sworn to but
one duty, viz., to go each to one pre
cinct poiung piace, await tno final
count, make a copy of the result as
posted on tho outside of tho linlllnrr
place, by the election board, and hur
ry it to tno cierifs oinco at once,
these to bo civon out to tho neonle
through the newspapers or to others
who may uesire to learn tno results
beforo tho ofllcial count has been
made.
m
This would entail some additional
expense, but such expense would bo
gladly homo by tho people In lieu of
tho nnoying delays In learning tho
result of the election.
It is probablo that no election here
tofore held. In Oregon has been so
slowly given to the people as has
this one. Thero havo been mutter-
ings and growls of rauo at tlio lnnir
lapse of time. Yet the delay could
not no avowed by any nowspapor
except at the outlav of enormous
sums of money, and oven this has
not sumceu to effect the desired end.
Of course, the final solution nf tim
problem lies m tho purchase of vot
ing machines, which will enable the
result to bo known almost immedinto-
ly after tho polls close. This is on-
icrpriBo mat must soon bo inaugurat
ed in Oregon. The Journal will fur
nish Its readers figures soon that
will place beforo them tho matter for
cuumuorauon. nut, whether or not
voting machines bo purchased, there
is no doubt that the amendment pro
posed heroin will bo approved by the
people or tho state, as an expedient
under the existing laws to euro the
present bungling system, and give
them tho results of their elections
sooner than three or four days after
the polls close. Portland Journal.
WENT OFi- HALF COCKED.
THE NEW WOMAN,
Roth Emperor William and Presi
dent Roosevelt seem to have gone off
at half cock in the matter of the pro
posed erection of a statute to Fred
erick tho Great at Washington. There
is no ground for the tender or accept
ance of such a gift. As tho publish
ed corespondence shows Kaiser Wil
liams assumes that there is some
foundation for the vague allusions
made during the reception of Prince
Henry to an alleged exhibition of
friendliness on the part of Frederick
the Great toward tho American colo
nists In general during their war for
Independence and toward waHiimK-;
ton in particular. j
The story that the Prusslon sover
eign sent to the commander of thei
Continental army a sword Hearing
the inscription: "From the oldest to
the Greatest General," or any sword
whatever has been shown by Mr.
Moncure D. Conway to be entirely ap
ocryphal. Neither is there an atom
of evidence for the assertion that
Frederick rendered any service to
Americans during their struggle for
liberation from the British yoke. He
was repeatedly requested to recog
nize the independence of the United
States, as France, Spain and Holland
did, but he never complied with the
request until Great Drltian had
herself acknowledged the Independ
ence of her colonies.
It is true that Frederick ultimately
refused to allow German troops, des
tined for service under the British
flag, in America, to traverse Prus
sian territory; but that was because
he detested tho practice of selling ,
German blood for foreign gold. Tho
veto was ineffectual, moreover, be- j
cause the mercenaries could pass
from the interior of Germany to the ;
seacoast without traversing the Prus-
slan domains. It ought by this time i
to be evident to every American and 1
German of common sense, that j
if any European sovereign deserves ,
the honor of a statue at Washing-j
ton, it is not Frederick the Great,
who did nothing, but Louis XVI., who
did everything in his power to assure
the independence of the United
States. In his reply to the Emperor's
offer President Roosevelt rashly
promised to submit the proposal to
congress. If he does, we are likely
to hear an interesting debate upon
tlie subject. Collier's Weekly.

what to do. I took eight bottles of Dr. Pierce's
