This cabal is not only fooling the publie; it la fooling its own adherents. They are pledged to an unknown re sult They are going it blind.

Fulton Mr. Fulton Un't a bad man, but he la from' Astoria, Astoria isn't a had town, but it wants to bottle up Port land and the Willamette valley. - At any rate, if Republicans are to vote for Mr. Fulton,' they ought to be permitted to 64 tt with their eyes open. 'i Mr. Scott tays he Is not a "can didate, and Mr. Fulton says he him self ie. ; Now If Jack turns down Ful; ton, whom will he turn up? . There was a time when the Repub-. llcan purpose and policy was in ac tual danger.; In 1890 a Republican de feat in Multnomah"' County meant something. At that time the present candidates ' knd 1 managers of the Matthew party were fighting the Re publican party,, i Ifhey had a right to do so, because they did not agree with I the Republican policy- and purpose. But what Republican policy is In dan THIS DEER LEAPED. Chased by a Railroad Trsln But Let the Engineer vTell It. ' "I nave orten beard or read the Inquiry as to how far a deer could leap lri flight from danger,", said an old-time railroad engineer,' ,"aad I have' often heard and read many replies to it ' "I remember that some one'who said he measured a deer's leap once and found that It covered SK feat was very sreneral ly and In some instances savagely dis credited, r Not by me, though. Jf. that man had said he measured a deer's leap and said It covered 60 feet I would'-nt have disbelieved him. for I. saw a deer make a leap once, and the question with me would be aot how far a deer can leap, buT how far it needs to.. I was engineer of the first tram that ran on the B. B. ft K. Railroad, through the hemlock -wllder-ness of .Northern and . Northwestern PeanSylvsnla. ' The region then abounded In many kinds of wild animals, for tt was .as near a primitive country as might be. , I remember that on the round trlp-ihe road was, only 80 mites long we saw six bears, a Wildcat, and three deer,; 'besides the deer I am speaking .about :.;; .;-Vf(v - -i; W." The bears peered out from behind trees and bushes as the train sped along, and .the wildcat followed along with us by bounding from tree to tree, for more than two miles, Then I gave my whistle a toot, and away he went tnte the wooda as If the old boy was after him. 'Just before we reached what we called Long Oravel Cut,' a narrow pass a mile long, , with high: Steep banks on either side, 'out of the bushes et the right of the track, and perhaps 100 feet ahead of my engine, bounded a .big buck, squart on the track. He Stopped In frightened uncertainty, cased for a second in big eyed astonishment .'.at, the approaching train, and then turned and bounded Into the cut. ' --'iV',' vV..''"'-1'" -t ' "Neither my fireman nor I could see how that could be but fatal to the deer, because he could not escape from the cut until he reached the other end, ' and at the end of the ' out a -half-mile trestle started right In, so that unless the deer pould ran a half-mile of open railroad ties or Jump a eD-foot gully, he might Just aa well have stood ivtlU frnd let the train run over him, . ,. - . "The road was down grade through "the 'cut, and I thought ! would ace whether a frightened deer could travel faster thaa a railroad treln.or not, so I pulled .her open and let the train slide. I don't be lieve ws were much more than a minute going through that cnti but the deet" kept a good 10 yards' space between him self and the engine, with ease. The road took the long-, high trestle at the end of the cut by quit a stilt curve, and at the left was Kane's Gully,: a ravine 40 feet wide and eight feet deep. ''If the buck attempted to croes the open trestle he was sure to fall between the ties and tumbba into the hollow over which the trestle carried- the railroad, . and tor htm to leap the gully seemed Im possible, A , tragic end threatened him on every hand. That buck knew his ca pacity, however. - .; -i :.. jv.j. ; he got to the end Of the cut be left the track, paused aa Instant en Uts PniLiiiifiiyL utLs IS OREGON AND OUR HOMEr INTERESTS ger bow?

Is it Cuban jrecl procity that reciprocates j Wlth the trusts? These gentlemen set . us ' good example of independence under honest conrlctlonav no doubt. We take pleasure in following It WHY SENTIMENT CHANGEP- It is probable that at the time of the Republican state convention there was . a strong demand in . Eastern Oregon for the nomination of a can didate from that part of the state. The struggle in the convention wa for new blood, new methods, a .new element in the saddle. Doubtless the Republican candidate won bis nomi nation largely through the strength of his demand, In so far as the rank and file of his party was concerned; also utilising liberal sums of money in canvassing the counties and in alt of the devious ways of the practical politician. After the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found that the victory had been won by no hew company of political . workers," with the exception that those who gained control had brought forward a new man, one, but recently' close in the counsels of the Democratic party and who had aligned himself with the op position only four years ago.! ' Apparently a fight , between Jhe old and the hew, it Was in fact but a con test between two old factions, one of which defeated the other, the regular organization, and exercised the power of the stronger to blast the hopes of the minority for future recognition. ' This, then, is the reason why senti ment changed In Eastern Oregon, for that sentiment has changed la favor of the Democratic candidate is con cedes by the most astute .politicians in Oregon. Instead of t Winning a victory for a gallant young Lochlnvar who rode out of the East the Eastern Oregon Republicans bad, .-fought . to bolster up the fortunes of a political faction that had existed so long as any man now living can remember, or so long as present party alignments have obtained in Oregon. ; POLITICS AND THE CENTENNIAL It is not only bad taste, but. poor politics and miserable, policy, for the Lewis and Clark Centennial for. the Morning Oregonian to suggest the In jection of politics Into the affairs of the big fair.v In the issue of May 1 the Oregonian refers to the Centen nlal and the governorship, and1 thus edge of "the ravine to 'gather himself, then -shot across the 40 feet or chasm as lightly as if he were Jumping- a six-foot ditch, cleared It with more than a foot to spare, 'and bounded away Into the for est .:;v "J began to hold my breath when t saw the buck gather himself for that stupen dous leap, and I don't believe I began to breathe again until we had crossed that half-mile trestle. The leap of that deer across that apparently impassable chasm was a grand and thrilling sight, and If the people who scoff at the Idea ol a deer being able to leap 85 feet had seen it, I think they would agree with ma that it isn't so much a question of how far a deer can leap as it la how far it needs to." OBSERVATION CAR. "The people of Canada regularly : Took to the United States for precedents re marked Sir Henry Strong,.' Chief Justice of the Dominion, the great jurist , and student of political economy, now in Washington. 1 , f , VThts is a pretty safe rule 'of action In moat instances." continued. Sir : Henry: "but" he added with a smtle. "It works execrsbly In the mater of salaries to our Judges. You do not In the United 8tates pay your Judges the salaries they should receive, and so when I grumble at getting only 18000 a year, the reply is made" that the Justices of the United States Supreme Court draw but 110.000. This is no good argument, but I wish that your govern ment would set a better example. vM ' "In .England there has,' always t een much I more liberality In the compensa tion of the bench, and X venture that, ac cording to English standards, the mem bers of your Supreme Court Would receive not less than $50,000 a year," ' v-i.1'' . "There Is no doubt that the lax morals of the English aristocracy are mainly due to the fact that, as a class, these bearers of inherited titles have nothing to do," said George Atherton of London, new in Washington,;"-:- - - Z "The lack of all occupation except the pursuit of exoltement Is the chief factor la their demoralisation. , People that are not forced to toil in some way for a liv ing seem prone to vlclousnesa. v Ordinary Pleasures grow, stale, and la' the quest for new amusements they transcend mod eration and" embark on a career of habit uat vtoe.

The" funds contributed for the Centennial were given by aU people, regardless of politics, and it Is wrong that those Who ate not of the political faith of the Oregonlan's editor shall be com pelled to see their money and the In fluence of that fair association turned to the assistance of any candidate for any -office?
