Mr. Bryan has been in Oregon during the ¡vast

friends greeted him entnusiastically; for they
k iow that he repn-s«-nts principles that they ferv-
e illy desire should ia*c >me tne active principles of
Oir National (»overnment
Even his political
enemies, including the Oregonian gave him a
r *«pecl!ul he »ring; and not a -nngle word of ridi
cule is vouch. afte«l to him. Whereas, ten years
ago, these same political enemies would speak of
hun only to ridicule.
.Mr I’.i a:. •■.

min of America to-day. We say ''leading” ad
v.sedly. Ten years ago he was so far seeing that
he then advocated the dix-trines and theories, of
guv-rniiK-iit ti.at ti..- Republican parti la being
forced by the people to adopt to-day. Who shall
say, then, that Mr. Bryan is not the leader of
pilitical thought in tn«* Nation at the present
time? Just as rapidly as the dominant political
party is driven by tne people to acquiesce, are Mr.
B van’s theories of government being adopted.
Taere is just this diff rence between Mr. Bryan
an I the leaders of the Republican |>arty. Mr.
Bryan leads the people, while the people lead the
lea iers of the Republican ¡ arty.
'I he political
history of our country during the past decade,
justifies this assertion beyond tne ¡sissibility of
successful -coiitradk! ion. Anti the people are.
ripidly. finding out who is tne safe leader to pilot
t ie Nation through the dangerous shoals that the
trusts and corporate greed have brought the ship
of state into. Just as long as the Republican
party is controlled and directed bv men of the
president Roosevelt type, will it lie trusted. But
let men of the caliber of Foraker or Fairbanks
s -cure the ascendancy, and defiat is assured.
Mr. Bryan is popular because he represents
what the people think they want ile represents
theories that would make all men subservient to
the law; including trusts, combines, corporations,
r lilroads etc. He believes that tne Federal con-
stitution our fundamental law
should be obey-
e I by the President, Congress and Supreme Court
an well as the people. He does not think it should
be set aside to accommodate the desires of any
man or party. He believes that all men, rich or
po>r, should be equal before the law and that
tner«- should la- no favoritism of ¡s-rsons. For his
k low n position on these subjects and his ever
s anding firmly for the interests of the common
p -ojile. at all times, he is justly entitled to lie call-
v I ‘‘The Commoner” and is loved and honored by
the people irn sp-clive of politics.
DOCTORS MISTAKF.S
of Mr. Bristol. But his opposition to Mr. Bristol
will cause any man whom the Senator recommends,
to be looked upon with suspicion.
The future will demonstrate whether this opinion
of Senator Fuiton is weil founded. If tne new
District Attorney whom he favors, takes up the land
fraud prosecutions with vigor and with a view of
punishing the guilty, whether friend or foe. the
N ews will gladly acknowledge its estimate of Mr.
Fulton is w rong. But if the prosecutions are haif
hearted; if the representative of the government,
purposely, makes out a weak case for Brownell el
al then we shall conclude that Senator Fultor has
opposed Mr, Bristol for the purpose of screening
his political friends.
The N ews does not think our County Court is
dishonest, nor tnat is guilty of grafting. Ex
travagance and carelessness in spending tne
people's money is. probably, the only charge that
could in any way be sustained. Nor is it at all
certain that even the charge of extravagence can
be successfully maintained against tne court. But
in the opinon of many taxpayers, the court is
unwise in a number of its acts. Probably a major
ity of the people of the county think tne expend-
ing of public money to the extent of $20.000 in
building the Cali|Mxyia wagon road an unwise act,
for, at most, this expensive road will benefit but
corn|>aratively a few people.
In appropriating
money for road building elsewhere in the county,
the court reduires an equal amount voluntairly
contributed by residents of the district in which
the road is constructed. If it is true, as we have
heard a number of pts,pie say. ti.at Judge St«-vv;<ri
and Commissioner Butler promised to build tne
Caiipooia road prior to their election, they, being a
majority of tne court are blamaok for tne e x
¡reuse. Tae N ews 'believes there is g«»«! gr
for the charge of extravagance, because of tne
great increase in county expenditures.
Nor can
this great increase be satisfactoi
, mt.-d for
until tne court renders the promised itemized re
port. The people have a right to know about how
and for what purpose their money is expended.
They would willingly justify tne expense of pub
lishing an itemized statement. So let us have it
Judge.
The locks at Oregon City of course should be
free. It is tne policy of tne General government
to take charge of and controll ail water wajs and
should have builthxi these Ittltt
stance. Because of this impediment to naviga
tion ever ton of freight that g-ies into or out from
Portland from or to points South, ¡«ns 50 cents
per ton extra over what would have to lx- ¡»aid if
the river was open. While it is true that these
l<K’ks could lie made free more quickly by the
state government taking hold of the matter, the
N ews doubts the propriety of doing so. By tne
state buying the locks or building new ones on the
opposite side of the river, the River and Harbors
committee in congress will proltably conclude that
we are able to help ourselves and that no Fedaral
gid was needed. The N ews thinks that a strong
pressure should be brought to bear on Congress to
take up this matter rather than for tne state to
shoulder the expense.
