-, ;, THE FEE SYSTEM.
,Mr. Furnish to In fw of continuing
'm ;
' -, Is present unconstitutional and uncon
v , , sckmable system of fees, .whereby the
, emolument Sat state- officers are welled
beyond all reason. Mr. Chamberlain haa
i attacked this system. ' Aa a, result all
. the' beneficiaries of the present system
er for' airt FurTflsh and against Mr.
Chamberlain,' - .
, v; 'This la at new. auction. Publlo
- aeaUment ha tons' been atroag la tavor
cfi a referra In thta tastier; Indeed It
was so' strong la 15M that -ta Republican
party could Dot resist a declaration on
the subject. It promised reform of .the
A- fee system, but it took Its own 'declara
, . tion in a Pickwickian sense. Kow hers
, ' ' Is '.what the Republican platform of ISM
aid: i
. The offices of the 'administrative do-
;li pwrtment of the state have become too

' reduced. When the Constitution fixes
" the ssJa"imlth Cdn8titutlonat salary
- - ahull be paid,' without additional emolu
.meats. 4. The : fcraetice of, employing un
necessary clerks and of paying fees In
excess of fust payment for services need
ed or rendered has become . an. abuse
" that must be cut oft, and we pledge the
, Republican' party to prosecution and ac
complishment of this reform."
Now this abuse has not been corrected
or' diminished lo the slightest degree.
' On the contrary It has been augmented.
- Mr- Chamberlain has again-pointed out
these abuses. He rails for their cor
. rectlon put Mr. rultoii, speaking for
. . . Mr. - Furnish, chillonge Mr.. Chamber
lain's position.- Hv contends that there
- is ho abuse. He thinks some $10,000 paid
to the Secretary of State s office la not
-- too much and more than $10,000 paid that
Officer In fee over and above his salary
4 expenses Is nobody's business.
.Now what did the Republican Legisla
' lure do following the declaration of ISM.
A bill was Introduced In the House to
, carry out the pledge of the Republican
party, "for the prosecution and accomp
. ' llshment of this reform." But It did not
Include all the state offices. Motion was
then offered to refer the bill to a spe
cial committee of frra with Instructions
-. t amend W as to Includo all state ofll
' . cers, the committee to report back ths
(, bill at S o'clock that diy. The motion
was lost A motion was then made to
- recommit the bill with instruction to put
th Secretary of State on salary of four
. thousand dollars and Treasurer of Btats
a four thousand dollars and all fees patd
- Into the general fund, of the state. The
" ' motion was lost. A motion was then
made to indefinitely postpone the whole
. matter, and by a vote of the Republi
can house it was indefinitely postponed,
. and remains postponed to this day. AR
these proceedings may t. found In the
Heuso Journal of 1SSS, pages $25 and 826.
So the Republican pledge of. 1894, de
situated to get votes and not to be kept,
sras broken.
jBut the question was not dead, but
only slept. The people know about these
illegal fees and are again demanding re-
- , lief. So in obedience to that public sen
timent which, Influence platforms, both
' - tBe..Republican and .'the Democratic plat
forms of 1902 declare for the abolish-
i : Blent of these foes and for flat salaried.
Mr. Chamberlain stands upon both these
v platforms. Mr. Furnish stands upon
- - neither. There 13 this much credit due
- . Mr, Furnish and Mr. Pulton; They make
. ni secret of their opposition to the Re-
j publican platform on this subject. They
Join Issue with Mr. Chamberlain and by !
the same tokon, wllh the Republican con
Yt :: vemion. They go 'to the people with the
' " frank avowal that tnere Is nothing wrong !
fn these fees, and that Mr. Chamber
Iain's contention Jos not meet their ap--
. provat nd will not receive their official
. sauctlon. Eyery voter, therefore, who
, -votes for Mr. Furnish or for Mr. Ful- :
ton for State Senator must do so with
the understanding that these srentle- I
met! publicly proclaim their adherence
to the fee system, and that an election
. ' will Justify them in retaining it. They
--have wtpn.tit the Republican ptank

present tlnv It baa three Congressmen,
while Oraa-oa has only two. Again, Or.

bow , muob . of that 6a.O0C0O has ben

hereT Th answer la simple. It la not
necessary; The state 1 "solid" for the
Republicans and the Administration
spends thl money In California and
Washington, where It will do th most
good. California was Democratlo also
about th sam time ..Washington was.
If this stat should also go Democratic
and th Administration should think It
advisable In order, to get this state Into
line to spend 110,000,000 per annum bare,
what of It? From a purely Republican
standpoint, would thl b an Irretrlev
able disaster .
Why not eAH M. ' Furnish a ''Captain
of Industry" Haa he not shown his
ability to M org nix every office he ever
heldr THd its not, by his "business
methods,'' make fiS OOO per annum as a
Democratic Sheriff of Umatilla Coun
ty? How did ha "farm" the office
of Deputy United States Marshal under
Cleveland, In his "whleky to Indians"
campaign? Why can't Mr. Furnish and
Jack Matthews, In their reformer role
of "business method" form a state trust
and own the stats? If hs Is not now a
captain of Industry, give him and
Matthews a change. They are both
comparatively youns; yet.
We really did not take the Oregonlan
seriously when it oppoaed Mr. Chamber
lain on the ground that the Fair of 1905
ought not to be opened by a Democrat.
But It persists In the contention with
npparent sincerity, we are quite sure
the psople don't want politics mixed with
the Fair. But since the question Is up.
let's examine it a Httle, The functions of
Governor on such an occasion call for
peculiar qualifications. He must be a
man of address, of ready and graceful
speech, polite.-, sociable, amiable, not
silent, awkward, embarrassed and of no
presence. Now choose your man.
Hl frlnnds will f?el sorry for a good
llow like Mr. Furnish that he should
represented as delivering a speech.
He is a gooi business man, an able
1-ankiT, an accumulator of wealth and
worthy citizen, but It Is a mockery
of the poor fellow to represent him as
an orator. It's not fnlr.
The latent Is Mr. Colvlg. a former
Democrat, for Furnish. He Is not nuite
up to Mr. Furnish's class." lie Is only
a 2-year-old.
The Oreeunlan la full of reports that
there Is no defection from Furnish. There
Is no better proof of widespread defec
tion. That "roonlng" may be heard
after the votes are counted.

POINTED REMARKS:
This Is ths
Very Ker ! of
lha
Question.) -7 '
To th kdlter: On ths M of May the
Oregonlan 'cSntained an editorial squib
which read as follows: ,
"Tou need not call the Simon clan by
a Republican name ui.lest yon are fond
of misnomers."
I suppose thl 14 Intended to mean that
those who voted the regular, ticket at
th primary election held on - th. Jt)i of
Mafrh ar nat t be desmed Republicans
because large numbers of them refused
to support the SeoU-Mflt thews ticket,
which will go on the official ballot as a
Republican ticket this yeari' '
Of course this Is true; the Oregonlan
never makes misstatements of facts. In
political matters. But ir It la true, what
is, to be said of the candidates on the
Scott-Matthews ticket, and what, by the
way. Is to be said of Matthews himself,
Scott's chairman jf the Republican. stats
committee, or of Carey, Scott' chairman
of the Republican county committee?
Matthews and Carey engaged In a pri
mary flRht in'ISSO. They were unfortu
nate enough to he on the losing side.
Did they support xhe Rvpuulican ticket?
Have they suppi-teil the Republican
ticket at any state election since that
time? Is It not a matter of ' public
notoriety that they supported tht
Mitchell ticket" In 1896, the anti-Simon
tsvket in IffS, and h Citlans' tlckti.i
1900? Are they In - any position to urge
men to vote the Republican tlelut this
year? Does an exhortttlon tn support of
party fealty coma with good) , grace -from
them at this tlma? ?
The same may be said of th candidates
on their ticket. It ntiBht?) possible
with diligent effort; 'to flr.d two or three
men out of the' 50 or 60 who arS 'running
on the, Scott-Matthews tlckt who have
good party records and ar entitled
be called Republicans. Aa to these two
or three I have nothing to aay. But how
can th argument In support of part
fealty be urged hv such men as Dan. X
Majarkey. I pick out Mr. Malarkey
an example because the ticket for the
most part Is made up of men whose
party record Is rutatantlally the same
as his, Mr. Malarkey probably cast hi
first Vote In 1S92 and presumably It wn
mst for the Citizens' ticket, for his
father was elect o-l County Treasurer on
the Citizens' ticket at that time, Mr
Malarkey may have voted the Republican
ticket In 1894. although I do not believe
that he would even claim -that he voted
It straight. It l a ipltttif' Of tfuWhc
notoriety that he nd his .aoct&tes en
the ticket, too numerous to mention
voted the Mitchell ticket in 186, the antt
Simon ticket In IKK and the Citizen'
ticket In 1900.
There la also a contingent .on this BoOtt
Matthews ticket of men who have always
been Democrats. George M. " Orton was
nominated and elected to the Legislature
two year ago as a Democrat, There ar
at least three or f mr Other men on the
Scott-Matthews, ticket who record as
Democrats is aa consistent 'a .nr. Or-
ton's. These men Voted th Democratlo
ticket two year go and .Indorsed the
Democratic platform which called for the
abandonment of the Philippines. Now w
are told by the Oregonlan that Republl
cans Ilk myself must vote for these men
In order to Indorse ths expansion policy
which these men voted against two year
a.'--
I believe In party fealty, but no man
becomes a Republican by receiving
nomination at the hands of the Scott'
Matthews convention. I believe In no po
litical legerdemain which can compel Re.
publican to vote for men who are not
Republicans. I can see nothing but
moonshine In the argument that I must
support such men as Orton and Malarkey
In order to Indorse principle which they
themselves have nrer approved tn the
past Put your organization In the hands
of Republicans and . nominate Ba your
candidates for office Republicans with
good party records and I will vote your
ticket, however dMtasteful "the nominees
may be to me, but I will not Vote for
Incompetent and unsatisfactory candi
dates with the party records of Orton
and Malarkey, In order to send either
H. W. Scott or Charles W. Fulton to
the United State Senate.

T. P. CONNER'S ADVICE
TO YOUNG JOURNALISTS
I turn to the training of the young as
pirant for the literary side of a paper.
First, I repeat the warning I have al
ready given: It Is not wise for any man
to take up Journalism unless he has a
distinct gift for writing. Let me, how
ever. Immediately add that it is not easy
always for the young man to answer that
question satisfactory In his own out. He
may err on the aide of want of modesty;
but he also may err on the side of excess
of it.
It Is difficult for most of us to know
what powers we have or what we lack,
until we have been tried until the op
portunity has come to us. There Is one,
wayjof testing your powers of writing
that Is a hnare. Young writer constantly
tome to me wllth what thef carfessays.
I never look at them: life 1 too short
now for essays. When you have become
a literary man of repute, and xan wrltp
like Matthew Arnold or Mn. Dlrrell, you
lo something with essays; but until
that moment arrives it Is difficult for you
to net anybody to look at your essays.
1 iki- an incident within your own
knowledge a departure of volunteers,
;ay. for the war; a trial at the assize
lown in which your life, If you live In
ne- or something of that kind; try to
seize the Human and dramatic points of
the story: and then let your article be
rend by some competent critic; and so
you will 'feet something like a judgment
worth attending to as to whether you
have- or have not the gift of writing. I
use word "gift" advisedly.
The longer I. live, the more I see that
though you may enormously improve pat
ural ttifts by training and practice, you
can not supply them If they be wanting.
At schools they still compel unfortunate
children, who -have not a note of music
in ineir nrains, to spend years at the
piano. It is Just as wicked a waste of
time to send to journalism anybody who
has no original gift for writing from the
hand of nature; for Journalism Is one of
the professions where one ought to be
really good. Mere moderate ability does
not bring uflicient remuneration or suf
ficient certainty of work to make Journal
ism a good profession. It ta like paint
ing; either a man is a good painter and
then makes a handsome income, or he is
just a middling painter, and then he Is

As to the right to know "the cost of
table supplies" that Is the husband's
privilege. Hs earns the money and it is
his right to 'know how it Is spent.
This sentiment does not at all interfere
with the wife's prerogative as equal part
ner. It simply accords to the husband a
like partnership. The average husband Is

All this may be Included In the general

LONDON'S LATEST CENSUS.
The figures given by the "Detailed Ab
stract of the 1901 Census Beturns for th
County of London" apply exclusively to
the administrative county of London, and
the persons actually within that sphere
on the night of. the census, London, as
every one must be aware. Is a name of
peculiar elasticity. If we take It, for In
stance, to mean the municipal city of
London the "one square mile'' we find
that its stationary population is only
2,23 souls. And If, on the other hand,
we take It to Imply so-called "Greater
London." which embraces " over ' 400.000
acres and Includes such - distant suburb
as Epsonv Farnaborough Barnet and
w&itham Abbey, Londoners may then
boast the mighty DODUlatlon of ovr
6,E00,O0O (6,5S1.S7I). Actually, however, we
are concerned With London County prop
er, created in 1888 from parts of Middle
sex, Surrey and Kent,,, and having an
area of nearly 78,009 acres. The total pop
ulation of London, .in- this meaning. Is
1.536,541., In 1801 the population was Just
under 1.000,000 t39,J10) It has, therefore,
Increased during the century nearly five
fold, but since 18S1 a decline In the rate
has been In steady progr; One of the
most potent causes Influencing this de
crease In the rate 0f growth of popula
tion within the country area Is th miti
gation of Londoners to the suburban dis
tricts. During, the last, 10 years the loss
by migration is calculated as exceeding
1SO.OO0. This centrifugal dispersion of
town population Is, however,- shared by
all great, old and prosperous cities.
