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.

TAXATION WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION.
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.

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
