SAYS HE IS A F T E It
THE e o c R T i i o r s E RING
We have been asked if we would do
nate a portion of the Boosting Spirit
page this week, to the advertising «»f
the platform of our friend, Hon. George
( \ Brownell. We are pleased to make
this donation and in any other way «id
in the election of Mr. Brownell as our
next state senator.
DO
IT NOW
If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing.
If you like lorn, or you love him, tell him now.
Hunt withhold \>>ur approbation till the parson makes oration
And lie lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow;
For no matter how you shout it he wont really care about it;
He wont know how many teardrops you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him. nows the time to slip it
to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead.
More than fame and more than money is the comment kind
and sunny.
And the hearty warm approval of a friend.
For it gives to life a savor and it makes you stronger, braver.
And it gives you heart and spirit to the end;
If he earns your praise bestow it; if you like him let him
know it;
l.et the words of true cneourgement be said:
Do not wait till life is over and tie's underneath the clover
For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead:

that with the ex p e rien c e 1 have h ’d

We a r e engaged <n n I’-nr ’” b eh D

th a t we will have to m a in ta in o r else
th e dem ocracy of th e peop'e, which
m ea n s self g o v e rn m e n t by th e peop.
will be destroyed fioni the face of
th e e a rth I have my only son, who

we will all be joyful together, when

In any a n g le or vie vpo nt which we

in te r e s ts a re com m on and ali e. Tho

conflict a re going to c re a te ne.v c o n
ditions in every state, in the Union,
which w 11 re q u ire atte n tio n and no ,
legislation.
Of course, if nom inated and elecied
I will sta n d by such road legislation
as the f a r m e r s ’ g ra n g e and th e peop e
of C lackam as county g e n e ra lly indo e
and approve of.
I feel th at th e re :s too m uch deputy
h ire about th e c o u rt ho se of thi ;
county, some of which c o r 'd be di
pensed with In th a t view I felt th a t
th e office of County Recoi do o, g f
to be abolished. In Oregon *. e ha e
th irty -six counties; tw e n ty -e ig h t of
these counties have a ir e d;-- abolished
the office of County Reco der of Con
veyances. In M ultnom ah county, with
the larg e city of P o rtla n d , they get
a l o n g w ithout a County Reco der.
T here is no reason w hy we sho ; d n ’t
get along w th o u t this office in t i
county. While a m em ber of the o n e
la s t session. 1 introduced a b it’ to
abolish this office a n d p a s s e d :*
th ro u g h the House, but it was defe ted
in the S enate in th e in te re s t of the
Oregon City Court H ouse ling. If I
am nom inated for th e S e n a te and
elected. I will a b o ’ish th a t office a 't e
the prese n t in cu m b e n t has the usual
te rm s th a t his p red e c e sso r h ' s b ’
I feel th a t th e c o u rt ho*i e a t O e - o ’i
City ought to he cleaned out to o *e
extent That we ha e too m any d -p-
uties and a s s is ta n ts upon the payroll
for the ta x p a y e rs to pay.
I feel th a t *s th e re e**er was a tim e
when th e peop’e dem and econom y and
re tre n c h m e n t in th eir cou n ty an d d a te
affa irs and expenses, it is at th e p r e s
ent tim e when they a r e o v er-burdened
with taxation to m aintain th e ir roads,
