T IIOJU the gods would destroy they
TY mad."
Jay Bowernian. assembly candidate for
or, is out with a two-column denunciation of republican
I Senator Jonathan Bourne in which he severally grills the
'republican president's administration and its acts,
denounces the republican tariff, and heaps invective and
abuse upon those who voted, for it. "What a plea for party
harmony, for party unity! -
Jonathan Bourne is not aii issue in this campaign. The
coming legislature has nothing to do with the election of a
( senator, but the assembly is an issue, and so is its contem
plated attack upon the direct primary md Statement One.
Acting Governor Bowernian seeks to blind the people
to the real issue by attacking Senator Bourne. Nominat
ed himself by the assembly, of which he was ringleader
and bell Avether, whose plain purpose was to "put the
knife into each and all who declared for Statement One,''
Mr. Bowernian now asserts he will do nothing if elected
to undo the statement.
A candidate's future career must be judged by his past
acts. Mj Bowernian as acting governor lent the prestige
of his office and the strength of his support to the cre
ating of the assembly and its attack upon Statement One.
As senator, he championed the Marriner bill, that would
have legalized the assembly and restored tho convention
system. If elected governor, there is no reason to believe
that the influence and power of the governor's office woul(
not again be used against popular government.
1 wmie iur. xjowcniiiiu iiiiu uiu opponents 01 muuuiui
government arc willing to promise almost anything to se
cure the votes, their election will be claimed as a triumph
of the assembly idea. In order to get the votes they are
willing to postpone the attack during the coming legis
lature because there is not a senator to elect, but they
would be preparing the way, silently and secretly, for the
real attack to be made in the legislature two years hence.
Charges that Mr. Bowernian makes against Senator
Bourne and this paper is not defending Bourne are
attacks upon President Taft and more particularly upon
Congressman Hawley. Prom Mr. Bowernian we secure the
following enumeration of betrayals of the people made by
Congressman llawiey:
"Sixty million dollars a year is wrung from the people
of this country and given to the sugar trust.
"You have outraged the people of Oregon and of this
country by assisting in placing a dutv of 15 per cent ad
valorem on iron ore. Of course you knew the steel trust 1
owned the iron ore in the United States, and that by your
vote you were taking this money from the people and from
your own cons tituents, and giving it to the many million
aires' who control this, the greatest trust in the world. No
doubt you expect the householder, when he purchases a
cook stove and pays tills unnecessary tribute to your col
leagues, to be blinded to your neglect of duty by the plati
tudes you indulge in.
"You voted to admit to this country raw silk free, and
to place a duty of 52 per cent upon manufactured articles.
At the same time you voted to place a duty of 135 per cent
average on woolen and worsted cloth valued at not more
than 40 -cents per pound. "Was this act on your part in
duced by your friendship for the people ?
"You voted to place a duty of 12i cents a square yard
on cotton goods. (318 Schedule I.) "When the mechanic,
farmer or other citizen is compelled to purchase this class
of goods and pay tribute to you and your plutocratic in
timates and associates on account of the official position
given to you by the people of Oregon, they can calm their
outraged feelings by the happy thought that you secured
by this position an opportunity to plunder them and hope
to continue in your present office by the use of resound
ing platitudes and windy commonplaces, and the assertion
that you are a friend of the people.
"Instances, almost without end, can be cited in which
you voted to place low duties on articles which are worn
by men of your aristocratic class, or placed upon your
tables, while you voted to place a higher duty on similar
articles used by people in poor or moderate circum
stances. " t
Here we have an instance of the harmony, beautiful.
As a harmonizer and peacemaker, as a unifier of party,
Jay Bowernian is not shiningly successful, but if he can
delude the people into voting for him, he will succeed in
fastening the illegal assembly as an accepted institution
upon Oregon, and clearing the decks for the promised knif
ing of Statement One, the beginning of the end of popular
rule.

sMioio. FRED h' coLvra,
TT IS to be hoped that an offer will be made for the pur--
chase of the Washington school site that will justify
the school board in selling it.
At any rate it is to be hoped that the school board will
decide upon erecting another school on the "West Side ratti
er than attempt to remodel or build additions to the, pres
ent structure.
Tho West Side is growing very rapidly and more school
accommodations arc imperative. For the convenience of
the pupils a building should be erected further south and
eventually another further north.
There is no question but that public opinion favors the
sale of the school and the erection of two ward school
houses in its place, and will sustain the board of education
in such action. It is generally regarded as a mistake to
increase the facilities of the present building when within
a short time another structure more conveniently located
will be necessary. Even if the present school is retained
the construction of a separate building in another location
is justified.

Kerby, Oregon. Kerb' is the key to the Illinois Valley; is

have been asked for on this tract; land in black is for 'sale;

all west of the ditch is under the ditch.
