GUARANTEED 8ATI8FACX0K1 OR MONET RETUNDED. Bourne and William S. U'Rcn came in, share and share alike, for a severe grilling last night, when J. D. Stevens spoke at Selling-IIirsch Hall. Owing to stormy weather the audience was not large, but it was very evi dent that most of his hearers were in accord with Mr. Stevens. When A. M. Himes arose at the close of the address and made a motion to uphold U'Ren and his policies, the words were hardly out of his mouth when a loud chorus of "noes" went up. JStevens denounced U'Ren as a scoundrel" and a "blackgiard", comparing him with Parrolles in Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well." Referring to Mr. U'Ren's apology for leaving out the enacting clause of the anti pass law, which invalidated the law, he said that U'Ren was rid ing on a pass all the time he was advocating the law, and that aft er he had made the mistake, which Mr. Stevens intimated was done purposely, he turned about, apparently, and advocated the giving of passes by urgent enact ment of a law to that effect in the last legislature. Stevens Intimated that when he was supporting U'Ren, a few years ago, he was being duped. But he said when he found U'Ren out, he ceased to follow his lead. Mr. Stevens referred to Lin coln Steffen's article in a recent issue of the American Magazine, "Steffens would have us be lieve," said Mr. Stevens, "that U'Ren is a sort of hero with a halo of glory about his head, Brownell is also referred to, but Brownellis a white angel by com panson. To Bourne and U'Ren Stevens charged the death of a man nam ed Kruse, who was at Salem dur ing the notorious holdup session of the legislature. "If it hadn't been for the 'house of mirth.' " said Stevens, "Kruse would be alive today. His death was a tragic thing. They had him there and kept him full for several days, and at last one of the members of the legislature came to U'Ren and said" 'I think Kruse is pretty bad off. We had better send for the doctor.' But U'Ren only replied 'Don't worry about him. I am a doctor myself. I'll look out for Kruse. ' The result was the man died and was taken home and buried by his friends." Mr. Stevens referred to Sena tor Bourne as not being a repre sentative of any political party, or of anybody in Oregon, except a very few. "Under the direct primary law," continued Mr. Stevens, "the majority has not ruled. The Statement No. 1 man wants to know what we shall do. I say, do as we have done until we have changed the government to socialist standards. "The people favoring State ment No. 1 and the direct pri mary law are laying the charge that the referendum is dead. The truth of the matter is that direct legislation, the initiative and referendum, will continue on i until it becomes the great funda ! mental law of the United States. l ou need have no fear of any thing happening to the initiative and referendum. "A great many people will try a great many schemes and make a great many laws, but the initia tive and nrf)rndun i hre to "I might cite the language of Mrs. Judge Waldo, who advises the Grange to go through all the proposed laws. If they have any doubt about any one of them they are to sit as a jury. I am satisfied that the referendum will come to be regarded in time as the basis of political action throughout the United States. "We come now to the direct primary law. As a rule, the sons and daughters of great men are very ordinary persons. So it is with the direct primary law While we are satisfied that the initiative and referendum is all right, the direct primary law is one of those poor children. In fact, I can hardly call it legiti mate. It is rather a mongrel. Here Mr. Stevens told of the provisions of the primary law, and continued: . The democratic party is tak ing a great interest this year in the republican party's nomina tions. My religious friend, Gin- gett Thomas, charges that he never saw in all his political life such a complication. He almost charges perjury against his breth ren; that they are doing- all in their power to mix in republican politics. When Bourne ran for sena tor, he could not get the nomina tion to save his life through the republican machine, which knew him. But when the votes were counted, II. M. Cake, who was running against him, found him self GOO votes short. The defen dants of this direct primary law would have us believe that Bourne got the majority of the votes at the election "Returning to the direct pri mary law, it would, I believe, if taken to the supreme court, be declared invalid, for it is uncon stitutional. It does discriminate, and is unjust to the people who" are obliged to live under it." Resolutions Adopted by me Recent Washington Grange Convention Nekl iti UJc Ou. Whereas there is a l i!l coming before the voters t f the state at the coming election in June, pro viding for the exemption of a large amount of I ropcrty from taxation and transferring the share of the taxes which that class of property now bears to the real estate of the state, which is already carrying more than its just share, and Whereas, we believe that the best interests of the state demand that the burden of taxation should be equally distributed up on all classes of property, and that present laws should be so enforced as to com pell every form of property that has been hereto fore, in a large measure, escap ing to pay its just and full share rather than to give any of it a legal means of escaping tribute. Therefore be it resolved that this Convention, representing the Granges, the owners of real es tate and the taxpayers of Wash ington county, hereby recom mends to the voters of Washing ton county and to the state at urge that they vote No" upon this measure. Resolved that me secretary of th s Conventton lurnisn a copy of these resolutions to each of f hp nw atiA ners 01 this- countv with a reauest that they be pub lished. For Sale.

The Sheridan local on this di vision or the bouthern Pacific, met with a serious accident last Friday night, when an axle on the smoker broke. The accident was caused by a hot box, and was discovered by a nassentrer raising the window, when he smelled smoke. He notified the conductor, who brought the train to a sudden standstill, when it was discovered that the axle on the front of the car had broken entirely off. The car was empt ied of its passengers and the train was moved slowly until Cornelius was reached, when the disabled car was sidetracked.
