When Bowerman, a struggling law yr In the little town of Condon, eeek lug nenrlce from any of the infrequent clients who strayed that way, got an opportunity to do sots pKlal work as attorney for a railroad, he thank fully accepted.

"He used his position as State Senator to prevem the building of railroads to Centra Oregon," they say. Let u see how Dowernwui wleldei' his great influence as president of the SUito Semite to help him in his little Job as a (temporary) corpora tion lawyer at Condon. A delegation of excited citizens went from. Portland to the Legislature ut. Salem, demand ing that the stale go into the busings of building railroads, as a weans of salvation from the thralldom of the Harrimnn svstem. They wanted a con-' ! Btitutlr.nal amendment.

At. the legislative session of 1907, State Senator Bowerman was a mem ber of the Senate railroad committee and chairman of the committee on re Ttsion of laws. In these important places he had much to do with plac ing on the Oregon statute books the railroad commission act, to which his opponent, Mr. West, owes his all in the way of reputation and a liveli hood.

Benjamin Mason was found dead in his rocking chair on the porch of his home in this city, Wednesday ev. ening, where It was his custom to sit after supper. His death is attribut ed to heart trouble from which he was a sufferer. He was about seven ty years of age. As usual after supper Mr. Mason had taken his chair to the pdrch, where he often fell asleep. His step- ! daughter, Mrs. Laura E. Bennett, had occasion to speak to him and made the discovery that he was dead. An inquest was held by Justice J. H. Jackson. Dr. T. A. Long, after a post mortem examination ascribed the death to heart failure, the ver dict of the jury being to that effect. ! Mr. Mason came here from Inde pendence, Oregon, about three weeks ago and bought from Fred G:"een the public water station and feed rolling business as well as the residence property near the plant. He resided there with his step-daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, the husband operating the business. He is survived by a wife, who lives on a homestead near Shaniko, but the couple have been separated for sev eral years. Mrs. Bennett states that her. step-father was very reticent about the events of his life, never mentioning relatives nor early home associations. He was born in Cana da. Arrangements have been made to hold the funeral Friday afternoon. 'Madras Pioneer. WHY NOT WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE? (An address given recently at the Y. M. C. A. hall in. Portland by Clar ence True Wilson, D. D.) When two armies face each other in hRttlo the armv of aggression, be- fnr it ran pneaere the main body. must drive in me snirmisn n w. the enemy. The woman's suffrage; propaganda has thrown out certain j skirmish lines in the public thought j and these must be driven in before; i nr,n in tha mtn aririiment. -tll luuic ,J First, then, those who claim that, the ballot is women's right quote from the declaration of independence that "Taxation without representation is tyranny." But the quotation is not in point, for that sentiment was ut tered with no possible reference to Individual voters, male or female. It was a declaration, of the representa tives of the thirteen colonies that un less these colonies could have a rep resentative in the parliament and in the cabinet to protect their interests King .George should not ask us to pay duty. It had no reference to the casting of ballots, for men voted in every colony, but it was a declara tion that one government ought not to tax another without due represent ation. Protection for Women In order to make it refer to wo man's suffrage it would have to be proven that women are not now prop erly represented by their husbands, fathers or brothers; that the govern ment does not protect them in their property interests, and that they do not get value received for their money. Th nuestion of votins has no ref erence to the paying of taxes, We paj our taxes In return ror tne protection of life and property, by the laws of a civilized nation. Some men who have no property vote and many who have no vote pay large taxes. Numer ous young men and women, heirs to ' large estates, pay immense sums to the government.but have no vote.Cor porations pay immense sums in taxes, but have no vote. Persons residing in. foreign lands or who have lived in this country only a few years. pay taxes, but have no vote. In fact vot ing has no reference whatever to taxes. Oregon.
