f ONGRESSMAN IIAWLEY'S friends have put forth
the pork barrel argument as justification for his
0011180 in congress, his support of Cannon, of the nefa
rious Payno-Aldrieh tariff, of his opposition to insur
gency, and of his rock-ribbed stand-patisin.
If Mr. llawlev bartered awav his liberty, his freedom,
and his conscience for a few appropriations, he is not the
caliber of a man to represent Oregon in congress, uregon
needs a man of some strength of character, of some force,
of some ability to properly represent it at the national
capital.
Mr. IIavlcy's friends say that he could not have se
cured the few dollars he got by any other course, and that
it was necessarv for him to sell his birthright f oia mess
of pottage that we might have a postofiieo biulduig.
j What an argument! As if any appropriation, no matter
i how great, justifies a man in betraying his constituency
bv supporting what is fundamentally wrong in govern
ment ! No right-minded man can sanction or approve such
a course. Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and bribery
by new postoffiees is just as wrong as bribery by cash.
Mr. Hawlev had a chance to distinguish himself, to
j make a national name, and to bring his district into the
! limelight by supporting and upholding those principles
upon which our government is based, uie migiit nave 101
lowed the course pursued by Poindexter, who refused to
bow in nuholy homage to the will of the system. Poindex
ter secured no pork barrel prizes for his district, but his
gallant course has been rewarded by his constituents by ,
, . ... , . i -!- ja i. ii..tt..:j.j i
ins noimuanou oy au overwiicmuiig uin,juriiy iu uiu uuucu .
States senate, as a reward by the people for his services i
to the people. v j
There is no danger of Mr. Hawley's ever receiving such ,
a reward from the people of Oregon. Instead, he narrowly ,
escaped defeat in the primaries and is today fighting for
his political life as he never fought before. That is how the
pork barrel appeals to the people.
Mr. Hawlev is on the defensive and must remain on the
defensive. His course was wrong, morally wrong, and one
who has to defend the wrong is badly handicapped. He
may promise to do right hereafter, but it he was not strong
enough to do right when put to the test, there is no guar
antee that he will not do wrong again.
2fo matter how great the odds, if a man battles gal
lantly for the right, fearlessly and courageously, he will
-ecure the unqualified endorsement of the people, even as
?oindexter secured it, but if he barters away to might his
right to fight for the right, he will be disapproved by the J
people, no matter what pop-corn prizes he secures in ex
change, and will face oblivion, even as Hawlev today
faces it.

JAY BOWERMAN", assembly candidate for governor,
is the coarsest 'produQt of Machiavelism that Oregon
politics has yet produced. He. is on any side of any ques
tion to get the votes.
Mr. Bowerman, when a candidate for the state senate,
refused to take Statement No. 1. He was nominated by j
an assembly of politicians and corporation employes, held J
in defiance of the primary law, whose proclaimed motive
was to jmt the knife to Statement Xo. 1.
Now that the people have repudiated the assembly,
and Mr. Bowerman finds that he cannot be elected upon
an assembly platform, he is but with a proclamation re
pudiating it. He proclaims himself a friend of the State
ment to get the votes.
The amount of sincerity and purpose that can be at
tached to Mr. Bowerman 's actions are .shown in his treat
ment of the normal schools. His entire course in the leg- j
islature had been favorable to normal schools, until the
last session, when he conceived the idea of riding into;
popularity with the mossbacks hy slaughtering Oregon's '
educational institutions, and as president of the senate,!
he shaped all legislation to this end.
Mr. Bowerman 's nomination is regarded as an assem-J
bly triumph. His election will be hailed with jubilation
by assembly forces. For political purposes, the sinister
motive of the assembly will be kept in the background
until election is over then Bowerman 's success will be
hailed as vindication and victory for the assembly, and
the opening wedge be inserted for the attack upon popu
lar government so loudly proclaimed in the assembly.
