THE OFFICIAL PAlrfoFGnLUAM
COUNTY. OREGON,
SELECTING PRESIDENTS.
The Globe-Democrat of St. Louie
lias a lengthy editorial in a recent
issue endeavoring to prove that
geography should cut no figure in
the selection of a presidential can
didate. This is said in connection
with the candidacy of Tom Reed,
and is eminently correct. The
mistake the Globe-Democrat makes
is in taking the geographical ex
cuses as being really meant. In
selecting presidential candidates
the geography is simply a blind,
.nd th fAiirlirlnte is selected from
some particular state, not on fcc
count of its position, but because
of the number of votes it casts, and
tA nort.ip Maine is ft Knre re-,

for the presidency would be much j
better than they are. The only
reason why he will not be the can
didate of the republican party for :
the presidency in 1896, is found in '
n. 5... .L.iSr . . . . !
the fact that Maine
is too soiuuy
and safely republican. Both Mc-
Kinley and Harrison have a great
advantage over Mr. Reed from that
"fact alone. .
Politics no longer demands the
selection of the best or ablest man.
The sole object of political parties
is to win, and in selecting candi
dates they are chosen for availa
bility instead of ability.
Senator King of Baker and Mal
heur counties has introduced two
bills relative to payment of taxes
and redemption of county warrants,
which are of general interest to
the 6tate, and which provide that
all taxes shall be paid in money,
and that county warrants shall be
redeemed in the order in which
they are presented or registered.
He considers the effect of these
bills, if passed, will be that the bus
iness of the counties may be done
on a cash basis, and thus save to
the counties in expense each year
the difference between the face
value and cash value of warrants,
which, Senator King says, will save
his district from 15 to 30 per cent
on every contract let, and all ex
penses incurred-by the counties.
By this means (the taxes being
paid in cassh) tbe county courts
can provide a sinking fund to re
deem warrants already issued, and
the counties of the state will thus
be enabled to finally pay all in
debtedness; while under the pres
ent system, as a rule, the counties
of the state are becoming more
heavily burdened with indebted
ness each year. The system pro
posed by Senator King was recom
mended by the convention of coun
ty judges in Portland in Jiovember,
and is in use in most states, and
has given general satisfaction wher
ever tried. It will probably be op
posed by the numerous speculators
in county warrants throughout the
state.
An effort has been made of late
to have enforced the provisions of
the pharmacy law, passed by the
legislature, which forbids the com
pounding or sale of drugs, medi
cines or poisons, except by regis
tered pharmacists. The law also
provides that persons entitled to
be, registered as pharmacists, must
have obtained a satisfactory diplo
ma from a regularly incorporated
college or school of pharmacy.
Proper restrictions are placed on
the sale of poisons, and penalties
for any unqualified person who
will compound or dispense medi
cines, etc. At first the law was
complied with, but the past year
druggists have not lived up to it.
Now the officers propose to arrest
all who do not comply with it.
The "Hard Times" are having
one salutary effect at least in this
section of the state. It is causing
business to approach nearer the
cash basis than ever before. The
cash system is the only true way
to do business. If the people would
pay as they go it would be easier
for them to get alongfor they would
hay nothing they could not afford
i pay for and would not have to
worry about their debts. Let us
hope that with the revival of good
times our people will not forget the
losson of economy which experience
is now teaching them.

Dolph's senatorial experience is
not the least powerful argument
that has been advanced in advo
cacy of his re-election. The next
six years will be a critical period
in the history of this country, and
Dolph will be better equipped to
preserve in the senate the interests
of Oregon than any new man could
be. The senate has a code of legis
lative practice peculiarly its own,
and a new senator labors at a dis
advantage during his first term.
Dolph now stands in the foremost
rank among national legislators,
and will receive consideration that
no first-termer could possibly at
tain. The unwisdom of retiring
him at this critical time and put
ting a new and inexperienced man
in his place is too apparent to be
seriously contemplated by any body
of electors who have at heart the
I st interests of their state.Tele

that the useless commission which

it would seem to be carrying
things to extremes indeed, to de
clare, as certain ministers of the
gospel have done, that no good
christian will raise hops, because
they are largely used in the manu
facture of intoxicating liquor. The
same argument would prohibit the
raising of corn, wheat, rye and bar
ley by christians.

Hood River Justice.
Hood River law, at administered by a
Hood River justice lant week, lifts Its
comic side. Mr. Fred1nburg, living
)ont 12 miles south of The Ia1le9, in
the Baldwin settlement, last week sued
Mr. Francisco for the rent of a farm and
obtained a judgment. In default of pay
ment, Justice Witshart committed Fran
cisco to the county Jail at The Palle.
There were 12 miles of country, covered
with three feet of bIuhIiv snow, between
Baldwin and The Dalles, ud wagons or
sleighs were out of the question, hut
the transportation of the prisoner was
thought solved when he was placed on
Norwegian "skis" and -the order nf
march given. But Francisco was not a
"ski-ist" and immediately tumbled over
into the snow. The esperiuient whs re
peated time and time again, with the
same result. The doughty constable,
however, was not to be outdone, and de
termined that the majesty of the law
Should tie vindicated; so the "skis"
were taken from the man's feet, and,
with some rusty nails and a cobblestone,
were nailed to a kerosene bos, In which
the prisoner was placed. With the con
stable and two assistants at the tow line,
a second start was made,"," but old Fr'ac
cisco was no better "ski" rider than
runner, and at once tumbled out. Do
what they would it was impossible to
keep him on the improvised sled. Walk
he would not, "ski" he could not, and
to ride he refused. Finally a horse was
secured from a neighbor, and, after four
most exasperating days, the constable
landed his charge at the jail door, only
to learn, to his despair, that his honor,
the justice, was 100 years or so liehind
the age in attempting to imprison a
man for debt.
The end is not yet, as a suit for dam
ages will be instituted by Mr. Francisco.
Queer Argument.
Dalles Chronicle: The Prineville Re
view has stirred np quite a controversy
concerning the effect it would have on
the business interests of Crook county
to have a railroad built into it. The
Review thinks the county better off
without it, and frankly says so. It in
vited opinions from those who thought
differently from itself and is getting
them. We have followed the discussion
closely, because the subject is an inter
esting one to ns, because the Review
has presented some arguments we con
sider unanswerable, and that certainly
retnai.. so, as far as the argument has
progressed, and because we have had
experience in just such a case. That
ex perience was had in the state of Ne
vada, we living in a stock region, where
conditions were almost identical with
those now existing in Crook county.
Everybody was prosperous, produce
brought a good price, and the money
paid to the freighters was largely spent
in the country. Tbe hay and grain used
by them made a good market for those
products. The coming of the Nevada
Central railroad changed these condi
tions, and the freighter vanished. So
did the market, so did prices. Freight,
with the exception of a few products,
staples, was as high as ever, but instead
of being paid to dozens of teamsters,
who spent the money again or a large
portion ot it, lor tbe products of the
country it went to han h rancisco and re
tnrned no more. That was fourteen
years ago and that section of the state
has never been worth a tinkers enrwe,
Speaking from experience we heartilv
indorse tbe position taken and so weil
maintained by the Review.
A small boy had taken the prize for
an exceptionally well-drawn map. After
the examination, the teacher, a little
doubtful, asked the lad, "Who helped
you with this map, James?" "Nobody,
sir." "Come now, tell me the truth
Didn't your brother help you?" "Ho,
sir; be did it all."
Anyone who has lived where pistol
carrying is the rule, will not fail to no

editor when he said : "We wish that a

to show to the world what a magnifi
cently healthy country Texas is."
Not long ago an agent for an encyclo
pedia called at a house in Sherman
connty, where lived an old lady and her
nephew a yonng man. Beforeshpwing
his prospectus the agent began to talk
of a good encyclopedia, but the woman
soon stopped him with these words: "I
have no use for it at my age, but you
may talk to John here, and if he wants
it and can pay for it, I have no objec
tions, but as for me, I am so old I
couldn't ride the thing if I had it."
