f arker Told the Truth PresidntlRooseveIt is known to en joy a Btrenuous.life and there is no doubt he is getting his fill of it. He is constantlyjin hot water with some one and often has to crawl out of a tight place bydeelaring that his opponent has lied a'deliberate and unqualified liar islhis favorite expression. When he replied to the claim of Judge Park er, just before the national election, that the corporations were furnishing campaign funds to the national elec tion, that the .'corporations were fur nishing campaign funds to the republi can committee, President Roosevelt de clared it was a "monstrous falsehood" and that if it '"were true, then Mr. Cortelyou and myself are two of. the most infamous men in the country." The exposures in the life insurance, in vestigations ar.d other evidence show that JudgQ Parker told the truth and there is very strong evidence to show that Mr. Roosevelt knew it was the truth when he, for personal and parti san purposes, said it was a "monstrous falsehood". In spite of the plain evi dence Mr. Roosevelt has Jnever apokw gized to Judge , Parker, nor has he caused restitution to be made to tha fund that ehould have .been sacred to' the widows and orphans of policy hold era which was plundered to aid in his election. Fraudulent Voting. To induce any person to stay away from the polls on election day by offer ing a consideration is a crime punish able by a fine of not less then $100 nor more than $1000, or imprisonment in the penitentiary not less than one nor more than three years, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The briber and bribed at any election in this state are both guilty of a felony and are punishable by fineand imprison ment in the penitentiary. If any person shall vote, or offer to vote, at any elec tion in this state, knowing himself not to be entitled to vote, he is guilty of a felony and subject to fine and imprison ment. Every judge and clerk of election should be alert to prevent fraudulent voting whether it be for his or the op posite party. Tho law roads: "In all incorporated cities and towns.in this state, no person shall approach or stand within fifty feet of the polls when;open for the purpose of receiving votes, except such peace j officers as are particularly selected or : appointed by the judges to preserve or- der or enforce the law within such lim its, and clectorsJIactually desiring and proceeding to vote, and but ten elect ors shall be permitted to npproach the 'polls withiiif fifty fv.,pt the 8ame time." u ap-ja gtill (jumbling, Editor UOmOCrui. ; ... . l. Mr. G. W. Wright still Jporalsts in quibbling, i snowou in xucsuuy s oCRATthntMr. Miller voted against tho resolution to employ porsonal clerks for each senator .This was done by ref I showed in Tuesday's Dem- erence to the record. Now, with char acteristic qubbling he comes 'back and says that it was in the session of 1905 that Miller voted jf or personal clerks. Well, Mr. Goorgo William, wo now cull you down again on that statemont. On page 33 Journal for 1905 it appears that Senator Mulurkey, a republican, intro duced a resolution directing each sena tor to employ one clurk or ono expert Btenographcr in addition to those authorized by law. Tho record shows that the resolution wasudoptcd without any roll call, hence there is no telling by tho record what senator votod for or against the resolution, but Mr. Mil ler allegos that ho did not vote for it. And this shows that Mr. Wright lud no ground at all for saying that Mr. Miller voted for it, and honco his charge is a mere fabrication nianufactui'cd out of whole cloth. Vide.

Editor Democrat: The proposed application of the stock law as it apnears on the ballots, will work a very great hardship on a large number of people who live in the out lying.and foothill parts of the county Many of them have small clearings and their ranches afford but little pas ture. If their, stock is barred from the open range, many of them will be compelled thereby to dispose of the y stock; thus depriving them of a princi pal means of livelihood, retarding the further development of those sections, and materially lessening the stock and dairy resources of the county. A fairer application of the stock law would be to make it apply to such parts of the county only which will not be in jured thereby, and leave the entire eastern and foothill portions open to range stock. I trust that a large majority of the voters will take this view of the pro posed application of the stock law, as it appears on the ballots, and vote it down. Very respectfully submitted, John H.

The Campaign. Special Correspondent. Portland, June 1. Monday will tell the tale and it's up to the people of Oregon to get serious. The time is here when "vot'er straight" . gush and yellow dog doctrines has got to go. Tho people won't stand such stuff any longer. The issue Monday's vote, is to decide isn't an issue of party. It's a a question of men. Let the party take care of itself and the people vote for ;he man they want to serve them in office. Don't forget this one fact: Parties are things to get office with. They are the tools of politicians and this "stand by the ticket" business is a confidence game. For 50 years people have been f joled by it, but the time is here for the yellow dog man to skiddoo for the till uncut. He will make his exodus out of Oregon next Monday and a sick er, sorer lot won't be found between Astoria and Klamath Falls than the yellow dog politician who would manip ulate the people in an attempt to build up another ring in this state on th plea for party sticktoitiveness. Here's the political situation in a nut shell and while you're about it, think it over and see if it isn't prophe sy: George E. Chamberlain will be re elected Governor, because he has been a good official. The people have tried him and he has proved to be a trust- worthy public servant. They want him again.

Saturday Night ThouRhts This week sees the closing of another campaign in Oregon. Every campaign seems to be different from the one be fore it, but after all there is not so very much difference. The same striving after votes, often regardless of meth ods, by some in a clean, manly way, by others with muddy hands. Speeches galore, mixing with the people, scapp ing behind men's backs, all kinds of tricks and finesse to gain a point. That's modern politics with some. But not by all men, the Democrat knows a good many who have made a clean campaign on the merits of their claim for recognition, something above the stale, antiquated demands of party, now with little to back it. A great many people are demanding the recog nition of men, and will not any longer swallow canon because' it. is labeled with their party. A week from tonight the Saturday night thoughts may be more explicit in their character, what ever the result of the election. . This week the marriage of a royaJ couple over in Spain attracted more at tention than anything else in the world. The marriage itself was a notable event, one of splendor, rich costumes, distingnished people, a sparkling affair. Added to it was the sensation of six- teen people being bombed to death. A J event in Spain without bomb throwing would be as rare as for a train to come ' into Albany when reported. Spaniards have a way of doing things with blood i j"""" T" ,a5 always been nottd for its manipu ation 1 , , , , .... of daSers and bombs, and in these civ- ,Bsed 'Tm entUry dayS there .

The demand is universal for legislation which shall give all kinds of patrons of railroads an equal chan.e in the battle of Life. Heretofore an infamous system of rebates has thrown everything into the hands of the big frnt Urhn hnto rnhhorl Mianwmlo on1 of the railroads in making rates dis- criminating against sections as well as against men. for instance the rate on some kind of goods is more from Port- land to Ashland than it is from Chicago to Portland. In fact an Ashland man can buy goods in Chciago and be chargt ed a freight about the same as that fmm PHmJ u,. ma, m. cap against the Portland dealer in his struggles for the business of his own state. mwwmmmm Po Women Want to Vote?
