So called advanced theologians have

Last . week, (he governor removed

county, no entry of such employment
having been mado upon tho prison
books for two months afterwards,
when the fact of the supciintcndcnt's
infringement of the law had been
called attention to by tho public press.
This is the cause of removal, with
other reasons of like nature, that is
staled in the official notification of his

Some 9110 put tho report in circula
tion ,. a few days ago, that Hon. L.
B. Uinchart had withdrawn from
politics, lor the present at least, and
would not be a candidate for ro-elcct-
ion to tho State senate. We ques
tioned Mr. Binehart concerning this.,
and ho said there was no truth in the
report, and that lie would servo again
if it was tho wish of tho party for hint
to do so. Mr. Uinchart hu made a
good record as senator, and his

Clatsop, Linn, Marion, Umatilla Un
ion, Washington and Yamhill has
been held unconstitutional as. to trie
counties of Clackamas, Clalsop, Un-'
ion and Umatilla, inasmuch as these
counties were not mentioned iiutho (i
tlo of said net. For according to sec
tion 20, Art. 1, of the Oregon consti

but one subject, but that subject and

Says Prowler, the parson in Cam

dependenco will ere long go bogging
if every man becomes fearful of ex
pressing his honest convictions lest
someone withdraws patronage. Where
is the once boasted free speech if every
man must withhold his opinion, lest
ho should sacrifice his business! It is
no uncommon thing to sec merchants,
professional men. and clergy, aye,
the officers of the law, shielding their
opinions, on this and that question
solely from the fear that thoy mar be
criticised, or perhaps lose the good
will of some duffer with a sock full of
money. As a certain long felt want
writer says every man has the stwnc
right to.cxprc6s it, letcomo what will
I take it a6 cowardly for a man to
withhold his sentiment solely from
the fact that it may take a few dollars
from bun; it shovs that ho has no
coufldciKe iu himself or his abilty to
cant a living. It is not American.
A spirit of honest independence must
prevail or man's .weakness will down
him."
