Aurora, Or., Thursday May 2S 1903 A great many men who would like to have the wisdom of Solo mon wouldn't care particularly about his 700 wives. Canby should by all means have an exhibit at the Hose Fes tival in Portland. A float in the parade would not entail a heavy expense and culd prove a pay ing investment. Gavin McNub, the deposed democratic boss of California, takes his defeat philosophically, and say3 concerning the primary law which accomplished his retirement: Tlie ultimate solu tion of political disputes i3 the di rect primary. The people must hi forced to assume responsibil ity, which itself is the great edu cator and purifier' A company of night riders in Kentucky burned d warehouse containing a large quantity of tobacco recently, and watched Ihe blaze with songs and prayer. They forced a young couple who were returning from a 'party to join them, while they Bang, "Nearer My God, to Thee," It is evident that there is still need for the fool killer in the Blue Grass State. An overwhelming majority of Oregon's voters ' by registration have formally declared that they believe in tho principles of the Republican partyi Let them now show that they are honest by vot ing in accordance with their de clarations. The Oregon edectior comes before tho. Republican Na tional Convention. Let ever; Republican voter in the first con gressional district uphold the ho nor of the Republican party in Oregon u.id strengthen the in fluence of Oregon's delegation in the national convention by voting for II. M. Cake for United States senator and W. C.( Hawlcy for representative In ccnirresj. If either of these republican nomi nees fail of election tho primary election.Fj stem will be discred ited and a return of bors rule will bo invited. The good name of Oregon's voters will be smirched and Oregon's delegation to the national.convontion will be placed n iy .humiliating position. For the effect it will have on the No vember election it is imperathe that the republican nominees in the June election shall bo elected by an overwhelming majority. As a believer, in the principles of the republican party it is your duty to be ut the polls June 1st, and vote for Cako and Hawloy. DEMOCRATIC TICKET STATE For U. S. Senator Geo. I). Chamberlain.

Th Suf(ra(bt't Pita. When the colonies were taxed by the English Government with out having representation in Par liament, and when they were not only taxed without representation of their own community, but had special taxes imposed upon them which were not laid upon the peo ple of England, they said justly. "Such taxation without our being repreeentcd at all, without our need3, without our interests being represented in Parliament, i3 tyranny." Our forefathers objected to the taxation because it was unjust. Today, the women who are clam oring for suffrage have taken up the axiom of our forebears, and twisting it out of all recognition of its original meaning, have placed it on their banner as an in centive to strengthen their ranks. And who are the women who make all the hue and cry about the want of "representation" by taxpay ing women ? Ard they the taxpayers? , In very few instan ces. Should "representation" be claimed for ali women because some are taxed? Will it benefit the taxpayihg women to have "representation" when by gain ing that "representation" she aa.i put the same power into the '.ands of thousands who will neu tralize her "representation"? Today the man who holds taxable property, and who contributes largely to the public coffers, has no moro voice as to the amount of money to be raised or its expen diture than the man who pays no taxes at all. The vote of the ig norant and debased has as much weight in determining the policy of the government as that of the educated man, the man of bus iness, or the man who has devoted hij life to studying the problems of government. The vote of the mlllionair is worth no more than tho vote of the pauper; and as the percentage of women with taxajjie property is vastly less than those without, how will th' taxed woman be benefited, should woman sulfragel obtain?, ' She will have nomina representation, but , practically she will be more misrepresented than she is at present. , A taxpaying woman sajdi "I live in a small town and pay large taxes; ne,t door to me ,1,3 a man who pays very little. At every meeting called for improvements, which , mean largely increased taes for inc, this man votes, and I have no vpice. Js, this right?" Sho was asked if the man was maarie'd, find if he had any daughters over; twenty-one years of age. She replied that he had a wife and three daughters. When she was anked if she thoupht her condition would b improved when, instead if one "voice" against her inter ests, she had five, she confessed that she hadn't thought of that. It is not, after nil, so much a question of .taxpaying women as it is of a body of women who are constantly seeking some change in the existing condition of things and who use this "voiceless" cry, as we said before, aan incentive to other women. Taxpaying women do not care to vote. Many of them hold proporty in corporations, and thev always place their proxy in the hands of some man to vote for thorn, or do not vote r.t all; a fact which nullifies the abor tion that taxotian without repre sentation is tyranny. Til VT BROOKS RESOLUTION. l.r.roJiKtJ by a Dctnouat nJ Pt?cJ by II MimSfM. What is doubtless a paid notice appeared in tho local columns of several papers recently r.nnonn cing the action of R rook 3 Grange No. oil) on Msy It, endorsing P. I Fraer for the oflice cf county jud.ee. The grange never hav ing be, n accused of political trick ery, the passing of this peculiar resolution has arcsed some com ment. The matti r has been sift-1 cd down and the following facts are submitted to the public, sho w the resolution to have been intro duced by a prominent Democrat and was engineered by a minor ity of the members and that the grange as whole did not partici pate in this endorsement and are not at all favorable to the senti ment therein expressed. The grange at Brookes haa a mem bership of about 80 of the sub stantial citizens of that locality. There were, at the meeting on May 1G, at which time this reso lution was passed, eight men present, three of whom were not voter3 and cannot vote at the coming election. One of the eight was a resident of Gervais and does not belong to the Boooks precinct. It is generally under sto)d that the grange does not endorse this resolution and in fact it is strictly against the con stitution and by-laws to do so. If it were possible to call a meeting before election, it would be done and a contrary sentiment incor porated into a new resolution and passed by a large majority. . -F; J. Bolter. Coni.

Iteeves was very good natured about the matter, but be made it a rule never to sing more than one selection when he felt that bis voice was not la first class shape. He happened to noUee that an elderly man. who turned out to be a dealer In hats along the Strand. Loudon, attended nearly every concert within convenient distance If Sims Reeves happened to be on the bill and generally led the encoro brigade. This hatter was a persistent person and of ten applauded until he bad forced Reeves to respond to double and triple encon'S. Determined to teach tho little batter lesson, one afternoon Just as dark was approaching Reeves entered bis admirer's store and said. "One bat please," naming the parUcular shape which be desired. The little batter didn't recognize the great tenor and banded out one bat "Good." said Reeves. "How much la this batr "Five shillings," said the1 store pro prietor. "Encore," said Reeves. A second bat was forthcoming, and Beeves atiniately obtained three "en sere" haw, TVbta the little batter de aauled M s4stM the purchases "&'tYlt4Ms ad- dressf eriesed the tenor In terrible : tone, "Vut i iy ry far one hat Do you understand?
