Another Guod One.
From National Tribune, Washington,
D. C, Dec. 10. 1908, P. 4, Col. 7. Editorial.
"At this distance it certainly looks
as if Senator Fulton of Oregon has not
made a very strong case in favor of
upsetting the decision of the people of
his state as to a Senator. Fulton was
a candidate before the republican pri
maries for re-election, but was defeat
ed by Henry M. Cake. Cake ihen went
before the people as the republican
nominee, with Gov. George Chamber'
lain as the democratic candidate. The
people while giving Taft an overwhelm
ine maiority. expressed themselves
nuite as strongly in favor of Chamber'
lain for Senator. Now Fulton is trying
to overset thiB decision. He suys that
it is evedent that the people who voted
so strongly for Taft do not want to be
represented by a democratic senator,
which is begging the question to say
the least. Fulton claims that "the
democrats masqueraded as republicans
in the primaries in order to defeat him
and nominate Cake who was a much
weaker man" and therefor easier for
Chamberlain to defeat. Again, Mr
Fulton is asking us to take a great deal
on his mere Bay so. Mr. Fulton is in
Washington trying to get the Bupport
of the administration, but not meeting
with marked success."

Saturday Night Thoughts.
Another year is gone, another year
come, the same old stury that has been
repeated over and over again since time
began, the running of the cycle of time,
round and round. Men look back wi
survey the events of a year, and
wonder at some things, and
look ahead and wonder again at what
will happen. But after all the greatest
of all time is NOW. The dreamer la
always building castles. It is easy.
The realist acts and strikes while the
iron is hot.
It is a good thing to resolve on the
New Year, along clean lines, for better
lives and conditions, which all people
should desire. It is not the best way
to wait until the new year to make
resolutions, for such resolutions are apt
to be of straw, but as long as the time
is here just try a little of it.
.
This week down at Portland a former
fellow citizen was convicted of murder
and has been sentenced to be hanged.
The case will be appealed, but there is
little doubt that eventually he will
meet his fate on the gallows at Salem.
The evidence indicated that there was
no doubt of a deliberate murder. Death
of any one by hanging is to be regretted,
but all over the state there is a crying
demand for punishment for murder,
and this sentiment is universal in favor
of justice.
This week has seen one of the worst
disasters in the history of the world,
over one hundred thousand people des
troyed by seismic disturbances. Just
a little shaking of this stable old earth,
not so very much of a shake either,
comparatively. Very little it takes to
make things tumble. Just a few puffs
of hot ashes from the inside, and it is
all up with those with whom they come
in contact. The entire world unites in
sympathy with those whose homes have
been destroped, left with nothing to
battle for existence.
After the record of the past year it
will be in order to shoot the person who
calls this country Webfoot. A little
over 28 inches instead of making things
wet, has not given us as much as we
would like. But in the wetter years
the amount has not been excessve, the
most in any one of five years being
only 48 inches, which is just about
what the country needs for sure crops.
Up and down Oregon beats the world
the year round.
Last week for the first time in years
the Democrat missed the Saturday
night thoughts, just slipped a cog on
account of Christmas until too late too
remedy the break. Not a serious mat
ter. Some people, though, say they
enjoy the Democrat's comments on
the passing events of the week, and
look to see what is Baid.

THE STORY
Of Why Girls Leave Home.
"Why Girls Leave Home", a play
which has created a great deal of inter-
i est, and which is said to be a strong mel-
odrama with a pure, natural, and con
I sistent story, will be presented at Al
bany Opera House on Jan. 6th, It tells
of the folly of a young girl of respect
able family connections, whose heart
has been won by an unprincipled scoun
drel: the aneer of. a brother who en-
deavera to show his sister the wayward
ness of her behavior, and she, in her
true innocence of heart and believing
the affection of her lover to be all that
a young girl could desire, scorns her
brother's advice, at which the brother
in a fit of anger strikes her to insensi
bility; she is chloroformed by the vil
lain, and smuggled to a road-house in
, the country and imprisoned there.
She affects a sensational escape, and
alter a run or eignt mues across tne
country, breathless, with her clothes
torn, bleeding, exhausted, staggers into
the corridor of the prison in time to
save her brother's life, who in a fit of
remorse, believing he has killed her, is
about to commit suicide by stabbing
himself with a dagger the female vil
lain has .smuggled to his cell.
