The tabulated statement and jhwlera &r , '!? - attng a the large mass of other unimportant""1 "ian deductions which appear to have been incorporated in the judge's statement for the purpose of confus ing the voters and covering the real issues may be passed over. The judge quotes correctly from thep"csim" 01 ,,0"in,auo"s wu" 1 Hl1 last semi-annual statement when n knoWS that he ,-ta,wl 0M lIoc he says that the total liabilities 0f the county are $33,023 12 and thej ttal resources $24,775.00 but when be farther says "leaving net liabili ties of $3,250.12 an amount a little larger than the State tax of $3,004 which has been paid from current collections recently,' he seems to be by1 inference, attempting to create a false impression. Does he mean to infer that if it had not been for Having to pay the state tax the iw o.ift - ..f .,.r j..k r.- fi I being out of debt? What fine fi nancial condition the county would be in, even under Judge Mariner's management, if we did not have to pay any taxes. The real poi'nt at issue which, by the way. the judge ignores entirely is this: The smnty is faying interest tm $j!,gi.i2 in outstanding county warrants so that is in reali ty t the actual county debt. Resources in the shape of uncol lected taxes are dead resources and should not be considered in this connection until they are collected and turned in to the county treas ury. ' ; ; Thevjudge also says: "It does not take any careful financing to get a county entirely out of debt." Does he mean by that that it does take careful financing'' to pile; up a debt of $33000 on a little coun- j ty like Gilliam, with nothing in the J world to 6how for it but some half these facts and in view of Mr. JM1 made roads. cox's utter failure to clear up his Perhaps it also requires "careful fiaancing" to allow almost $20,000 delinquent taxes to pile up without any effort being made to collect them. If so Judge Mariner and Sheriff '.Vilcox have proven them selves howling successes as "careful financers." It will be noticed that the judge is as careful not to say a word that will reflect on Mr. Wilcox iu the matter as he is not to say anything that will re flect on Mr. Mariner. Why is that do you ask? The answer is not far to seek. 'That is simply an effect of ring politics and one of the methods of ring politicians. Nothing else. COUNTY POLITICS. The following from the Portland Evening Jonmal contains a broad bint for every voter in every county in Oregon: The duty ot the elector is to pnrify his local itoverniiient, pi ace in public position men who will employ business methods in the HKtnngHineiit of public affiirg.ariil will not forever look upon public office as a private snap. Ejpcially should the methods of busi ness men prevail at the court bouse of tins county. " -' ' - Tnera should be no politics in these poiti ns. The professional politician and the grafter may be found in every political party on earth and they very often control the party ma chinery to such an extent as to se cure their own nomination year af ter year. It remains for the voters to say whether their election is to follow. Is it the part of wisdom for the voters of any party to stay o closely within party lines in lo cal politics as to continue in office, i year after year men who have learn ed through long usage to look upon "public office as a private 6nap?" By all means no. The intelligent voter will scan the the list s of nom inees on both tickets with a critical eye and will select as his choice the men whom he honestly believes will j give the county the best service and i c ' J ! the mist modem, intelligent and honestly administered government The" man who demands an office as a sort of a divine right or connivej and schemes to hold a stall at the public crib is a mighty good man to l"ave at home. Such men may possess wonderful 'capabilities for fcujivfssin privatelife. Whoknows? Ji CII.UOSIXG A.mJ J-iLSL-HOOD. Mr. Wilcox and his friends have made no attempt to publicly deny the statement made in this paper last week relative to his neglect of duty in the matter of collecting taxes. lie has made no attempt . . 1 , . i tins paper. has threatened to . ' ' , ... ,, rum the Globe financially and has . stated that our charge against his . , , ,. olhcial record would not hurt nun il lie could "get to fee the people 'tf,A ladft iratra t ii tftitimtv convention knows that Pattison's name was not before the con veuttoti or caucus foiarty nomination and every democrat who discussed the "ns, when the question came aPl tha he w9 n"1 a" Pir"t i would-iot accent under any circutu stances any notuination. We chal lenge Mr. Wilcox to produce a sin gle democrat who will state that Pattison in any way sought the nomination for clerk or any other place on the ticket. The statement is also being made to democrats that Pattison has gone over to the republicans because he J8 opposing JMr. NMloox In the name of God does Wilcox constitute the entire democratic party in Gilli am county? Can not an honest democrat oppose his election with out being read out of the party? Is he a god that we must fall down and worship him? Personally we opposd his nomination because of his official and political record. Be cause we believed that in the past he has prostituted his office in the interest of his future political am bitions and because we believed that he has, when the occasion arose, sacrificed the entirV ticket to increase his own majorities. lf are now opposing his election by showing up his official record be cause we believe it is the plain du- ?ty of a newspaper to give such facts to' the people in order that they may vote "intelligently. If, af- ter being placed in posession of official record, the people next Mon- day see fit to elect him the Globe will not complain. It will have done its duty in the interest of good county government and is willing to abide by the consequences. If a majority of the people want to perpet uate a political boss the Globe can stand it as long as they can. Mr. Wilcox has had ample time to re ply and clear his record, if such a thing were possible, and knew these columns were open to him. He has failed to do so and the inference is that be has no legitimate defense. Will the Record tell us why that de linquent tax list which was ordered pub lished has notyetta-n pnblit-hed? Is it being held hack for .political reasons or is the Record too busy boosting'Mariuer aed Wilcox to put it in type? - W. L. Wilcox made the statement jirior to thi convention that he would positively not be a candi eate for clerk if any other democrat in the county aspired to that nomination. J. II. Downing, a pioneer democrat, an nounced himself tts'an aspirant a day or so before the convention. Did Wilcox stay with his word and ' yield to Mr. Downing? Not by a jug full. For 12 years Mr. Wilcox has Wen unanimously nominated by the demo cratic party. For 12 j ears he has re ceived practically the solid support of tlmt tiurrv ut. tliP (Villa I)nrifir tliur.au! four vt,-r hU llir d -tv ,, been republican. lii special deputies have alno been republics no ith one or per Inips two exceptions.

In thus opposing him it was our intention to deal enly with his official Dels as re corded In the official reports of the vari ous count j oifWra and U is ilh regret that we have learned thing, from trust worthy soircvs, which seem to indicate that he i nt Willing to meet the iieoie sqnarelv on hi record M sheriff and stand U'hin.l and defend that record, but that he has seen (It to indulge in personal vindu-uve and dire threats aai)tt then lork and the fnlne finan cial well being ot its editor, IVrsotiaily e care nothing ahoni Ihese little diver si n and only cll attention to them in or .ter to point out that in making them Mr. Wilcns tacitly admits that lie U un able to meet and answer, openly and above board the charge that he has been deielect in hi duty sheriff in failing to collect the taxes, as required by law, and a he is bound by bis oatU of olltce to do. Shortly after Mr. Wilcox was nomina ted he approaehed the editor of this pa per an I req teste.l its support. , lie was told that nnder no encu instances could the (iL'bs support hU candidacy at this tune ana some ot the reasons lor our position on the matter were given. At the same time he was assured of our in tention of according him absolutely fair treatment in the campaign and that space in the tifBK would te at his ser- vije at any lime himelf or any of his friends desired to use it in his interest the only condition imposed being the general one that articles of that character must appear over the signature of the writer. If Mr. Wilcox or bis friends can honestly take exception to that soit of a propositon then they must stand on the ground that the editor of the Globe has not the right, nhicljjhey claim for themselves, vix: To honestly oppose or support any candidate for anv public otfice withta the gift of the people, and if they assume that position they know they are espousing a !anse, which fol lowed to its logical conclusion would cer tainly lead to political corruption terrible to contemplate and finally to the over throw ot republican institutions The only question to be settled at this time is that of the best interests of the people. Is Mr. Wilcox the best mail for the place? Does his official record as sheriff com mend him as worthv of further favors froiii the people? If he has been derelict in his duty as sheriff will he be faithful in his doty as clerk? TheGl'BB brought out this matter in ample time for Mr. Wilcox to meet it sq-iarely and manfully and open and above board in the same public manner inwhich the charge was made. 11 ha failed to do ao and the onlv inference is that he has no defence.
