THURSDAY,
Public. Officers.
Owinc t doors that opened inward inste.ul f outward, and other
violations of sah-ty t-itiiil i t i im in h school house at Notth Collingwood
a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, 170 childten were burred or trampled to
death when the structure burned ('own last week. The school diiect
ors are beins 'censured by public opinion though no doubt each one is
a goild citizen whose conscience, today is making life iv living hell for
him.
As after the Trnipinb-Theatre horror in Chicago n. few yours ago,
there :s t'reat stir about gaiety conditions in public buildings all over
the country, and the press is full of h w public, boa id.- are now zealous
in enforcing long-neglected bui'.dint! 'ordinaii'-.es and laws This flurry
will die down in a few w.-elcsan.l thtj old lax conditions will again pre
vail. . ": '; '''''.'";'' '
It is nnc of the n.nnmolies of pufilic service that the best citizens of
a community make hut indifferent public "officers. .There are many
exceptions of course but the general rule i- that a man who is BticceoS
ful iii private business affairs is a comparative failure in public office.
There are i ihuen reisn o.'fdre.l for tint fact, n mo of which is wholly
satisfactory, hut it remains a faet
Business men of excellent judgment in 'private affairs make as
many mistakes as the shiftless theorist whea placed on the finance
committee of a city council.
The lcson the. American people have been a century in learning
is,, that public affairs a e a trade in themselves, and, especially in ex
ecutive positions, to pet he.it, results ni ni sh-iuld bo employed who ha ve
made a ctudy apd practice of puhlic IniHin 'ss.
This is recognized in Germany in municipal affairs and the result
is that the best city governments in the world are found in Germany.
For illustration: The municipil chief 'executive office is a profession
In Germany. A young man chooses the profession of m i.yor as others
choose the law or medicine. He starts in a subordinate capactity and
works up by merit until he becomes
he tries for a record for efficiency that
of the council of a larger city and he
people elect a council of a fe m unbars and on them all responsibility
to the people for good government is
best executives it can find, just as a
country Beek the best managers and
aries it can afford, to pay. In fact the German municipal governments
are like in other respects to the most efficient business body known
the modern corporation but the whole story is too long for newspaper
telling. It will repay any student of government to look the matter
up. , . i
Another lesson from the Collingwoof horror of. more immediate
application is the necessity of a building ordinance' in towns however
small. No building should be permitted to be erected in a town, within
or without, fire limits, until certain requirements looking to safety are
complied with. A permit should be required for every building, not
for the purpose, of revenue, but to
nance is followed in the plans, and that a record of all buildings be
kept ill the recoider's office.
The fee of the permit should be low just enough to cover the
expense -prcbubly from 23 cents up to a few dollars, according to the
value of the structure and length of plans to be recorded. The amount
of the present foe in Enterprise, $5, is a mistake. It amounts to a fii'e
on improvements. The ordinance should be revised on more liberal
lines.and the permit provisions extended to the city limits.
I'Ren's Platform
For U. S. Senator
Whether I am .nominated and
elected or not, I premise the people
of Oregon that I will ulways sup
port and advocate the enactment
and enforcement of laws and con
stitutional amendments to apply
the following principles in our
national and state government:
First: Every political party and
independent organization in Ore
gon has the right to nominate a
candidate for every elective oifice,
but the people of Oregon have the
sole and exclusive right to select
th.i person to fill every such oifice,
from constable to governor and
Unittd States senator.
Second. The people of Oregon
have the right to instruct the mem
bers of the legiilatuiCj and to de
mand from every candidate a
pledge, in advance of his election,
that he will obey their instruc
tions. Third: I will advocate the nom
itlation and election to the legisla
tive assembly of those candidates
only who subscribe to Statement
No. 1, either exactly as n is w rit
ten in the law; or else In eu' s'an
tially the following fo-m: (Here
follows the text of the initiative
bill, "People's Instruction Stale
mentNo.l.")
As one citizen of Oregon, I am
firmly convinced 'hat no man, not
even a member of my party, is
worthy to be trusted by the people
in the legislature or uuy other
office, if hn will not promise to
obey their instructions.
Fourth: An initiative and refer

in my power to assist the candidate

After the June election I. will most
earnestly advocate. the formal elec

the enactment of such laws that,
everywhere, under our flag, every
man shall produce by his labor ail
be ge s, and shall get all he pro

Finally, I will most loyally sup
port President Roosevelt in his
rebellion against government o'
the United States by Standard Oil
iind its allies, and I hope audi prav

years as president, to lead those
who are rebelling against, puMic
