1 J)rug Mrf,
George E. Chamberlain supported thai measure and
worked for it, and It. A. Booth opposed it.
The bill was one for a law to modify or abrogate the
iniquitous fellow-servant doctrine, a law made by the
courts of this country, which prevented the widow or chil
dren of a laborer killed in the employment of another from
recovering damages or compensation for the loss of the
wnge-ejirner or breadwinner of the family.
Under the fellow-servant doctrine as established by the
courts, if the death of one employe was caused by the care
lessness of another employe, that was a complete defense,
and the widow and children conld go beg or starve.
Under 'that doctrine the courts had held that if the
roadbed of a railroad gave way and the engineer niul fire
men were killed, the railroad company had nothing 10 pay,
because the section men were fellow-servants of the en
gineer and firemen. '
If a foreman of a factory who had charge of the ma
chinery worked with the operatives and one was injured
or killed, the injured employe or his heirs, in case of death,
conld recover nothing, because the foreman was a fellow
servant of the laborer.
Under this doctrine the courts of this state were closed
and barred to the pleas of widows and little children for
some compensation to take the place of the husband and
father who lost his life in the service of his employer. The
decisions, of the supreme court are replete with such cases.
One of the greatest battles waged in this state was that
of the laboring classes for laws setting aside this mon
strous doctrine of the courts, and it, was only overturned
through the use of the initiative. For .veal's at every ses
sion of the legislature the working people of this state
asked in vain for such laws.
Mm. Booth was in the state senate for eight veal's and
opposed such legislation at every opportunity. At one
session, when George E. Chamberlain was endeavoring to
have a law just to the laborers enacted, Mr. Booth opposed
it with all liis influeunce. On the floor of the senate he
said: "This bill will break up every sawmill owner."
Mr. Booth was for the sawmili owner and against his
laborers. It mattered not to him how many workingmen's
families were broken up and lost because this damnable
doctrine of the courts left them without a right to recover
some damages to keep them together and take the place
of "daddy's" daily pittance, as long as the sawmill mail)
did not have to pay. It shows Mr. Booth's vision of the
protection to American labor and his vision of humanity.
Mr. Booth, like Mr. Rockefeller, doubtless thinks be
is protecting American labor when he advocates a high
protective tariff, his idea being that the. capitalist will
take care of the laborer, and that the laborer should look
to the capitalist for his protection, and charity when in
need.
It is the old mud sill idea of labor. The mass
of the people must always be dependent for their right to
exist upon the willingness of someone else to give them
a job is the economic idea advanced by the Rockefellers,
Baers and Booths. Keep them under and keep them hum
ble has been their plan.
With two men hunting for a job labor is cheaper. A
protective tariff on the goods of the manufacturer but
free trade in labor.
The laboring men of Oregon if they arc loyal to them
selves, to their cause and to their posterity, will not hesi
tate to choose between one who helped them and one who
fought their just demands.
WHY DEMOCRATS ARE ELECTED
THE question is often asked why a republican state like
Oregon so frequently elects democrats to office.
The answer is easy. Oregon is first a progressive state.
The republicans defeated are stand-patters. The dem
ocrats elected are progressives.
The people of Oregon prefer a progressive democrat
to an unprogressive republican,
The republican party organization is controlled by
stand-patters, and despite repeated defeats reactionaries
arc nominated for office, the leaders preferring defeat to
loss of party control.
Booth, candidate of big business; Withycombc, believer
in Chinese labor and advocate of boss-control by assem
blies, already rejected once by the people because of his
insignificance; llawley, nie-too follower of Uncle Joe
Cannon all political reactionaries, long unbelievers in
the people or their right to rule, and subservient flunkies
of corporate interests, are the type of me,n selected to lead
the republican ticket.
Thatjs the reason a disgusted electorate voles for pro
gressive'and capable democrats instead of reactionary re
publicans. That is why the Oregon system is still in exist
ence. The assault on popular government, though not in the
open as il was four years ago, is just as determined and
vicious as over, the more sinister because clandestine,
The election of Hoolli, Withycombe and llawley will
mean a surrender jo tho nredajory InlcrcHtH a blow'to the
Oregon h,vhImu slop nuckward in popular government,
freo shows, concerts nnd entertain
' meats. Interesting tnlks wore made
by different able speakers, and I am
siito ucry one hnd u Jolly good tltuo.

Extent of German Ambition
It la puzzling to try to find out
how porvaslvu and complete has been
the obsession In Germany that the
German people woio providentially
ordained to drive back Kiissla, crush
out Krnnco, break up the British Um
pire, annex Holland and Helglum,
and domlnato the world. That these
unbridled dreams of empire hao
possessed tho mind of many, If not
all, of the military leaders of Ger
many, and that many historians, phil
osophers, and men of science nnd cul
ture have been apostles of this so
called "pan-German" cult. Is unde
niable. Hut it senilis Impossible to
believe that tho great mass of ex
cellent German folks had been ser
iously Infected with this madness.
Opinion has becomo so strongly
convinced, In Hngland and 1'rnnco,
that Germany hns really Intended
and deliberately planned to annex the
lAvf Countries and to crush and Gor
manlzo France, with n Iow to tho
conquest of England, that tho very
suggestion of ending this devastat
ing war fills them with alarm, bo-
causo they feet that Germany must
,1m crushed before life can be woith
(living for any other peoplo In Europe
I They nro saying emphatically that
. Germany must bo reduced to tho po
sition of n second-class power as u io
'suit of tho present war. Ah a ma
Iter of fact, this war ought to result
In the end of the mllltniy ststem,
which Includes tho Urltlsh navy as
well as the Germany army. The Ger
man people cannot be reduced to n
low place In the wot Id unless they
are nearly all murdered, or iiulestt

energy to tho training of all their
