A writer ia tbe oolumasof the Portland Oregouian which by the way sonnda very mnob like the late lamented T. T. Goer says that tbe town is named from "George H. FeudletoD, a Jeffersonian Demooratio Secession Confederate statesman of Ohio, one of tbe bitter eat enemies of Lincoln and opponents of tbe war for tbe Union and a mem ber of tbe House of Representatives.' In these days there is but one pluoe ou God's green earth where tbe fact of having esponsed tbe "lost cause," rauklea in the craw of animosity, and woere tne tattered "bloody snirt" is waved in tbe faoe of an intelligent community as political bunoomb, and tbat is from tbe tall towers of tbe Portland Oregonian. Nowhere else does this bitter, malicious, vindictive spirit prevail. The North as a whole is free from it, tbe "solid south" has burned it in tbe asnes of the past and united, stands for all the Northern states in citizenship and progress. A reoent testimonial of tbeunii of South ern sentiment in this respeot was tbe reception of Pesideut-eleot Tuft. In tbe whole history of the state of Geor gia nothing compares with the univer sal effort put forth on tbe part of tbe citizens in the reception given tun na tion's presideDt,who overcome by tbe splendid spirit of respeot and fealty shown bim said: "I bad hoped to win the solid south, but it has won me!" But in the faoe of all this tbo big soavenger paper at Portland launches in its oolumns a dirty, UDderband dia tribe, pickled with its. customary A constitutional amendment ia before the Oregon legislature wbioh wonld provide for county bonds in road improvement. Tbe proposed a mendment reads: "Each oounty in this state is hereby authorized, empower ed to issue bonds to the amount of not exceeding one per cent of the assessed valuation of ita property but in no case to exoeed the sum of three hundred thousand dollars, to raise money to be used for the construction of perman ent County roads within such oounty, and tor no other purpose. Before any county can issue any of suoh bonds tbe matter must be submitted to the voters of such county at a general election and if a majortiy of those voting on that matter shall vote in favor of issu ing snob bonds specifying the amount of bonds to be issued, tbe same shall be issued accordingly; otherwise, no such bonds shall be issued. Tbe Leg islature shall enaot such laws as may be necessary to carry this amendment intoeffeot." The proposition to issue bonds in payment for permanent coun ty road construction is a modern idea and one which appears favorably to many, Tbeproposed amendment if passed will give an opportunity to find out whether good roads are wanted ex oiusively by tne automobile owner for tbe tax paver would be civeu an opportunity for his say. In tbe private language of Repres entative Clemens of Multnomah be is quoted by a Portland paper as say ing "The people did it; now let tbe dam fool people take their medioine." But when be cast bis vote for Cham berlain, Mr. Clemens said: "I believe tbat tbe people of tbe state ought to be tbe supreme power in tbe state and I believe they ought to have the right to elot United States Senator. Their choice being Hon. George E. Cham berlain my choice ia George E. Cham berlain." Either Mr. Clemens ia a very "weak sister" or the Portland paper ia a liar. fT Sinoe tbe threat of a Texaa State Senator to introduoe a bill for tbe tax ation of bachelors, many young women in the north and oast have written asking bim to provide them with hos bands. McHARG'S PROTEST. Uncle Sam's National Forests yield ed an inorease of 102 per oeot in tim ber last year over tbe reoord for 1907 giving returns of $819,027.21 to the government. Twenty-five per cent of this amount went baok to tbe states in which the forests are located in lieu of taxes in aooordanoe with tbe provisions of tbe law. This revenue will be add ed to tbe state's fund for tbe support and maiutanance of roads and publio schools. It will be wise to wait a month or two betore holding obsequies on fruit trees thought to have been killed by oold weather. Nature has a wonderful way of healing aud reo uperating, and the warm days of Spring will show how well she works. If some outer limbs were frozen and are dead it may be Nature's way to jog tbe man who is afraid to prune.' Urmsby MoHarg saya be was soo oessfnl in bis mission to Oregon. Be got seven Statement men to file arpro test with their vote for Chamberlain. He and his benohmen will see tbat these protests go into the bands of the committee on privilegea and eleotona in the United Statea in the hope that they may be made the basis of aotion by tbe United States senate in refusing to seat George E. Chamberlain, tbe cboioe of tbe people of Oregon. Following is a oopy of tbe Statement entered on the records by seven State ment members yesterday: "In casting my vote for George E. Chamberlain for United States senator I do so under protest and for tbe fol lowing reasons: "First I regard tbe methods nsed by Democrats registering in large num bers throughout tbe state for tbe pur pose of enhanoing tbe chances for bis beooming tbe peoples choice at the gen- al election in June last as fraudulent, benoe an unfair test to tbe true oboioe of tbe people. Seoond I do not so vote as my free and acoepted cboioe by virtue of my right under tbe constitution but in stead as a redemption of my sledge made nnder what is known as State ment No. 1 to support tbe people's oboioe. "Third If I were free at this time to cast my vote for my personal oboioe, would cast same for tbe Honorable Charles W. Fulton or tbe Honorable H. M. Cake. Athena OPERA House. .

Their protests robbed six Statement No. 1 legislators of much of tbe credit wbiob tbe Statement members wno did not protest have earned. They made tbe protests on tbe assurance of tbe discredited MoHarg tbat thereby a basis would be afforded for defeating tbe people's oboioe. If anything should come of tbe protests tbe aot of eaob protestant will be as base and treaob erous aa if he bad broken his pledge. mi it . j. ne preage was tne means oi seouring eleotion. Xf.in tbe final determination tbe protests abort tbe legislature's aotion of yesterday eaob protester will be a traitor to bia constituents to the truth aud to tbe plighted word. Eaob protest was made with full knowledge tbat it was tbe last desperate effort of MoHarg, Clyde Fulton, and tbe other senatorial hangers-on to npset tbe electorate's will. Fortunately for tbe case of tbe protesters, the protests are raise on tbeir faoe, in tbat eaoh mem ber in taking tbe statement had sense enough to know ita meaning, and took it freely voluntarily and without com pulsion or oompunotion and for a rea son all the protests combined and all the inner and ulterior designs of tbe protestanta will avail nothing.
