iThe people of Condon were
given t doHe of medicine on Fri
day niifht at the hands of the city
council which will not soon be
forgotten. At this time there
"Vaa up for ita consideration the
appointment of a councilman to
fill the unexpired term of Dr.
Wood who was elected mayor of
the city.
Henry Thiesscn, a man who ia
absolutely fair and fearless, was
recommended for the place by a
petition aetting forth that he had
received the next highest vote at
tha city election held in Condon
April 11th, and was signed by a
majority of the voters of the
City of Condon. At any general
election ' the petitionera would
have elected him; to those whom
it was left to appoint a man who
the people desired, it was refer
, red; and the citizens who signed
that petition, under our theory of
government, had the right to ex
pect that their will Bhould gov
ern, or at least receive such con
sideration as would show a re
spect for their wishes. When
the time came to pass on the ap
pointment of a councilman,
Councilman Hire nominated
Henry Thiensen and this was
seconded by Councilman Butler,
but when the ballots were count
ed the votes showed that two
councilmen had voted for Thies
sen and three for John Jackson.
In doing so they ignored tho will
of the people as expressed in
the petition and in eiTect said:
'The people be darned, who is
running this city?"
As an official Mr. Jackson
might and undoubtedly will serve
the city well, but th's has nothing
whatever to do with the question
now under discussion, only so
far as it shows how far out of
the way some of the councilmen
went in order to ignore the peti
tioners' recommendation. If
these things can be done in a
country which boasts of free
American institutions; where ev
ery man's vote counts one, and
ia as good ai another; where the
will of the people cannot ordinar
ily be thwarted and disregarded
as has been done here, our city is
a joke, its people are regarded as
1 nonentities, and our government
turned into a farce. Time was
when such things could be done,
but they were in countries ruled
by kinga and their power was
eventually cruhed. They tried
it in France and the French Rev
olution followed. They tried it
in England and the Enjrtish Rev
olution followed, and all the hu
man life that was sacrificed for
the people's will was tremendous.
While those days have passed by,
and I hope never to return, nev
ertheless the American people, 1
hope, cannot be driven regardless
of whether or not it be done by a
despot or any other power, for
it is a well known fact that in
other communities the people
have turned and created reforms
thereafter which were a credit to
free government and in accord
ance with the principles on which
our constitution was made. f
The time will come in Condon
when the people will demand a
government in accordance with
their wishes, and when they do
the reforms that they will create
will be a credit to our city and
Eastern Oregon.
