What Decency Demands.
The following from the Seattle P. I.,
was sent the Democrat by a former
Albany man. It is directly to tho point
and gives the senatorial situation fairly,
particularly coming from a strong re
publican paper: . , .
Good faith and moral, responsibility
ought to determine the senatorial issue
.in Oregon; but, .in the final analysis,
,'thereietmore involved in the issue than
.'the good faith and moral tesponsibility
ol members of the. present legislature
. of Oregon. The organic rights of the
, people of Oregon, representing a resid
. uary sovereignty which must ever in
here in a free people under our system
- of government, are at stake, and if
. these rights are sacrificed it will be to
the' perpetual shame of the common
- wealth. ! '
; (..Legislators in Oregon may. break
i their promises; except by moral suasion,
1 by . an 'appeal to their manhood and
their, consciences, there . is no way to
v prevent them from violating the solemn
l pledges they have made to the voters
f of the state.
But before they heed the bad advice
of men who are urging them to ignore
moral obligations they have legally as
sumcd, it may be well for them to take
. a reckoning lest they drift too far from
. a&fn mnnrinfrn nnrl ntnnffa thomaoiuou 1
and (heir state into dishonor,
,i fh.u ! wfi,r '
They are told that they will
rl,t vin.il
lonce to the federal constitution if they
heed the instructions of the people on
the senatorsbip. It is not true. The
constitution empowers them to elect
the senators from that Btate; but it
leaves them absolutely free to say in
what manner they will determine a
choice; if they elect, as they have
elected, to refer the matter of a choice
to the people of Oregon, and declare
their purpose to abide by the prefer
ence thus expressed, they have a right
to do so, and there is not a word or a
syllable in the federal constitution to
condemn or nuljfy such a proceedure.
The people of Oregon have spoken
on this question. They may have erred.
But the issue is no longer a party issue;
it is now a question of morals, a ques
tion of political decency on the part of
members of the legislature, and a
question also which involves the sover
eighty of the people of Oregon and the
good name of the state. It should be
settled right,
A Friend f th Dog
Albany, Doc. 10.-Plea.ie allow mo to
protest against the threatened war
against dogs. The dog is man's best
friend. T herovie no other animal brute
that will Kfinrt bv him better'
or longer. It is a well known fact that
they are p od policemen. If you should
v,nnih nil ..... Iiur in Alhanv it would
be necessary to have a police force of
nity men.
Those who read the confession of
Orchard the noted slayer of the Ex
Governor of Idaho will remember that
he save that when he went to the resi
dence of the governor of Colorado to
shoot him he was p; evented on two
occasions I think it was, by the barking
of a little dog. He was skulking'
around the House m the dark to get a I
chance to kill the governor, but the I
watch dog being on guard prevented it.
Orchard was afraid he was watched
and loft.
A man who had been a notod burglar
but reformed declared in his confession
that the watch dog in the house was
the best Bafe-KUard against burglars,
Thov at once notice the presence ol
strangers around tho house. The writer
ran tostifv that on one occasion a dog
In his house undoubtedly prevented the
entrance of a burglar. A neighbor
railed his attention to the'unusual bark
inir of a doa- in a house ono night and
on examination there were found the
track of a man leading to a back win
dow in the Bnow. Tho barking of the
dog doubtless scared him away.
It may be possiolo tnat mere are
some mon in tho world little enough
and cowardly enough to poison a dog
but I would not want to live near him.
I think howover that most of the dog
poisoning cases in this state are acci
dental. People coming from iho eaat
do not know that salmon will kill a dog.
This fish is a deadly poison to dogs.
Persons that do not know that should
.be warned.
In what way are dogs a nuisance?
. If they are they are not tho only nui
sance in tho world and some of them
do not walk on four legs either. A
good watch dog in a dwelling ia almost
sure proof against burglary. It iB not
. necessary that ho should be a large one
and a little doe that car bark loud and
long is sb good as a largo one. Ho
should be kept in tho house where the
burglar cannot poison him and put him
out of commission. Don't discharge
.the underpaid police force. X.
John D. may not bo the father of the
Standard Oil Company, but he. is a very
near and dear relative.
With Mr. Hitchcock as tho next P t
rr.a8ter General the way will be made
smooth for an eight years' occupam y
of the White Houso if the voters shall
be of consenting mind in 1912.
Freazed thoughts. ,
rothr Charlie just wants to go to
the Senate so he can be near Brother
Bill.
Several prominent bank wreckers
will spend the winter in the peniten
tiary. That is going some.
The naval officers must also walk.
They ought to be thankful that He
"Ted" didn t require them to swim 60

A class ot 9 candidates' were given

After enjoying a fine banquet a good
literary program was rendered. Good
road legislation was discussed at some
length, although no action was taken
the general sentiment was in favor of
building good home roads; but were
opposed to a state highway. .,
On the senatorial question the following-
resolutions were adopted:
. Whereas, We believe it has been and
is the desire of a certain class of pol

discovered this morning, when U. G-

sefe blown to pieces, $250 in money
taken from the safe and about $500
