N e w b e r g G r a p h ic - THE V i HOMER DAVENPORT education, fitting them for this line of newspaper endeavor, rath er than to spend it all on an ex pensive monument. In a most excellent paper read by C. S. Jackson, editor of the Journal, much emphasis was laid on the statement that Homer Davenport always stood for the fellow who was down and needed help. This being true, certainlv noth ing more fitting could be done in memory of the dead cartoonist than to raise a fund for assisting worthy young people who desire to fit themselves for pursuing the same line of newspaper work that laid so near his heart. Right here in Newberg there is a child of a widowed mother poor . in purse, which has a t tracted considerable favorable comment on account of the talent shown for off hand sketching, and it has been'suggested that the child ought to have assist ance in developing this natural taf*t for drawing. Doubtless there are similar cases all over the state, where a little assistance given a t the proper time would bear excellent fruit, and if the things said about Davenport by those who were intimately acquainted with him are true, there is no doubt but that could he have been consulted in the matter he would have ex pressed the wish that any money that might be raised in his honor would go for such a worthy purpose, rather than to be spent on a pile of stoqe to be placed over his grave. TALES TOLD OUT OF SCHOOL BY JEFFERSON REVIEW V. P. Fiske, of the Dallas Item- izer, questions the Review’s statement of the democratic, state ticket being sacrified sev- eral times for Chamberlain. If Fiske don’t know this has been done, he is the only dmocrat in Oregon lacking that knowledge. From the time Chamberlain was nominated for-attorney general, when Jim Cowan used all the money the Linn county candi dates had put up for their own campaign, to elect Chamberlain, “our George” has been the whole push. The Review editor was a delegate at the state convention that gave Chamberlain his first nomination for governor, and we know the nomination for repre sentative was forced on Hon. J. K. Weatherford sim p ly to strengthen Chamberlain. Weath erford knew it; he told the writer he had no chance of election. The same in the case of J. E. Godfrey, of Salem, tor state printer. That should justly have gone to Char lie Nickel, but Godfrey is popular at home and Chamberlain had to have Marion county. Why was Turner Oliver nominated for secretary ot state? To try and elect him? Nix! Chamberlain needed that Eastern O regon vote, and Oliver polled it tor him, then Oliver was turned down (he had served his purpose) and a republican appointed secretary ot state by a democratic govern or. As to Chamberlain always keeping his promises, why did he promise the superintendency of the penitentiary to both F. W. Durbin and Henry Downing and then give it to James, ot Baker City, thus causing such a row among the democrats of this county that they have not been able to elect anybody since? As to the Itemizer’s assertion that Chamberlain always helps other candidates, it occurs to us that one Harry Lane was elected without much assistance from George. Course we don’t blame Fiske, cause he wants to be ap pointed postmaster, and we hope he will be. The Review editor, however, has no favors to ask from him. We try to deal justly with all but we own our paper and don’t intend to be muzzled by an official simply because he is of similar political belief. T’apers were served on S. P. FUND.
