One by one every excuse at first urg ed by those who are voting; against the people's Instruction as to who to sup- j port for U. S. Senator has been admit ted ia one way; or another, by the men themselves thus voting; to be flimsy and indefensible. Mr. Geer complied with the law. which is admitted. - , ';He Invited others to go on the ticket with him, pronging to assist in the election of the, man who should have the highest vote, which is, also, ad mitted. 4 He moved openly, giving others an opportunity to; test the matter before the people, which they refused to do. This Is admitteo. lie gave the opposition to him every opportunity to make the most of their opposition by leaving his-case to the people just as the State Convention left him without making any canvass for himself whatever, although running for the highest office on the ticket. Under these adverse circumstances, with everything doing against him and nothing done in his favor, the peopla gave him 45,000 votes for IT. S. Senator. This was practically the same vote given to him for Governor four years before, and is nearly 4,000 more votes than. were, ever cast for any other candidate for Governor In the history of the state. J It Is more in the interest of the fu ture of the Republican party of Ore gon than in Mr. Geer's interest, that the Statesman! earnestly urges upon the ncpulbican members of the Legis lature the AIJSOLUTE NECESSITY of recognizing ! the vote of the people honewtly given for U. S. Senator last June. j ( i ne janiasue umos or certain gen tlemen, who are zealously (?) pro claiming against the "corrupt practices of dominating) machines." while they d;iy by day grlve the lie to all they say by announcing that "45,000 voUrs can't crum.a theory down our throats. that they do not like, are' Known and watched by every voter in the state. The fate of the man who really "has Congressional aspirations beaming in nis countenance, ana wio pursues this course to the end is not hard to foresee. The time to change is now ALTOGETHER WRONG.

On the contrary, as a' result of Fulton's en vironments at' home, he now seems to be "entirely at sea," while Geer. be ing a land lubber, has a complete un derstanding of the "lay of the land See? ;: . i UNCLE SAM'S HABILIMENT. The popular conception of Uncle Sam Is that of a long, lean, lank Yankee with a bunch of chin whiskers, and clad In a pair of pantaloons that are too short, at. both ends, and a coat that Is . several sixes too small. . The artist who conceived this picture of Uncle Ram probably bad in mind tbe fact f 1 Bad Couqhi ' I had a bad cough for six weeks and could find no relief un til I tried Aver Cherry Pectoral.

They litter the whole system.

Bsowv, Bomford Falls, lie. f Hood's Sarsaparilla promise to euro ana Keep tn promts. that this country is growing so rapidly that it must be continuously outgrow lng its clothes. This idea is not far irora me trutft. It : is certain that Uncle Sam, since he began to dabble in world politics, make acquisitions of territory beyond the seas, undertake to champion the cause of numerous weak nations, and in the full sense of the term become a world powers-has rapid ly outgrown his wearing appareL The fact. is that the old man has never been particular about his dress. He has probably ; been : too busy. From the standpoint of the nations of - Bie old world who have been in the habit fo: generations of spending more on their clothes than their income warranted, your Uncle Sam is a pretty shabbily dressed InvididuaL They recognize his worth, despite his clothes, and respect him. He has never been barred from any social functions because his clothes were ill-fitting and out of date, but a good deal of fun has been poked at him about his make-up behind his back and some of it at his face. He has al- ways taken If good humoredly. how ever, Just as the man of affairs who cares little for dress but has the means to keep half a dozen tailors busy if he wants to, takes, the chaffinar of thp dude who owes for his clothes. iiut it Denooves Uncle Sam to pay a little more attention to his wearing apparel now that he is mingling with the swell dressers of the Old World. He can afford to do it, and he owes it to himself and to his relatives to do so." Besides it may inspire a little more respect in some of the fresh European countries if he would show them that ne knows how to wear fine clothes gracefully. Some of them may have the impression that he would fall all over himself iZ he were to get Into pair of patent leather pumps, and spike-tailed coat. Representative Dayton In the House recently pointed out the condition of Uncle Sam's wardrobe, and made some pertinent remarks In regard to what should be done tor the old man In order to nt mm for the fast: company In which he has chosen to travel of late, and from which there does not appear to be any hope that he will be able in the near future to separate himself. He called attention to Uncle Sam's in sular possessions which will need con stant waching. to the growing! nees sity for aggressivenss in. upholding the Monroe Doctrine which some European powers seem determined to overthrow. and to the complications which will aVise as the result of constructing the Isthmian Canal. He said that only a largely Increased navy could make it possible for Uncle Sam to keep pace with European nations, and keep pace with them he must or suffer serious loss of prestige. "Every thoughtful man must realize that this country's defense in the; future must be the navy," said Mr. Dayton. S "Eighty mil lions of Yankees. with memories of the revolutionary and civil wars, can call from the ranks a citizen soldiery on short order that will make a serious Invasion of our country by any foreign ! nallnn an lmnA..lt.Elli n " iiujiuBnioimy. xsui so long as we have foreign islands to defend, a Monroe Doctrine to unhoi.i . merce to sustain and i an Isthmian Canal to open and maintain, we must keep up a navy that will command re spect on the seas." ; THE PRESIDENTS BUSY FOES. All the gossip from Washington touching the plans and ' purposes of the Republican managers, according to newspaper reports, is to the effect that Mr. Hanna is shaping thing with ref erence. to an out-and-out rupture with President Roosevelt. Of course Mr. Hanna will be wary. He will want to know that he can beat Mr. Roosevelt out in the National Convention Which the Republicans will hold In 1 904. Mr. Hanna. has a good memory. He doea not forget what y happened in Philadelphia nearly t three years ago. At that time be felt the utmost con fidence In his , ability to thwart his party's wish and prevent the nomina tion of Roosevelt for the office of Vfce President. Toward the finish Mr Hanna was aggressively against Mr. Roose velt. Do what he cob Id he was not able to sway the delegates, and Roose velt v.aa jiat1e4 for :nd.r tice - on the McKInley ticket fairly in defiance of Mr. Hanna. 1 There's no love lost, as between these two men. nor has there been since President Roosevelt reached the White House. With , respect to policy or methods or . party schemes there Is nejxt to -nothing in common between thorn., Things are hapening all the time which tend to drive them farther apart. For" Instance, the Persident's recent act in asking Senator Iodge to try for the passage - of the Uttlefleld anti trust bill, spite of the opposition of Senators like Mr. Hanna and Mr. Aid rich, is a line of difference that will run, beyond a doubt, into the next Na tional Convention. The breach will widen. Mr. Hanna has, within the Senate, nothing like the influence of men like: Hale: and AiUrich and Spooner and others. But outside,; among the men who always put up for the promotion of Republi can schemes,, Mr. Hanna. is of more account than all- these Senators put together, and he finds recognition as the captain. The activity of the Re publican managers in Mr. Hanna' a group for fifteen months to come will, in fact, resolve Itself into an effort to. set up the pins against Roosevelt. Meanwhile, the relations constantly more and more strained will hot come to open rupture for a long time; and the break will not; come unless Mr. Hanna is sure of his ground. It is a big undertaking to manufacture nn-. popularity for Mr. Roosevelt within Republican ranks; he certainly has the pull with his party as the case stands now. And -the prospects: are that he will maintainthis pull not on account of any manipulation or organi zation, however, ui by sheer force of - his honesty of purpose and hi vigor ous personality. He will be President four years more. If at all and it seems. almost certain that he will succeed himself because of a .demand of the people, to be made largely on account of his opposition to the schemes 04 the bosses, who would lead the Republi can party to the brink of destruction if their designs were allowed to fully a mature. ' 9 - WORK FOR THE FOOL KILLER. The Statesman Is worried because the Legislature, is about to disregard the 78,000 votes cast for Senator, Sup pose Mr. Geer should be elected Sena tor? Would that not be a disregard of 3Z,uoo or the 78,000 votes? The States man seems to have forgotten that C. E. S. Wood "also rarand that he was. In reality, more of a Senatorial candidate than Geer. since Wood was nominated for that office by the Democrats in State Convention assemtfled. Euge'ne Register. , . The above is from the Eugene Regis ter. And the Eugene Register ought to be heartily ashamed, if it has any thing to be ashamed with- it often happens that the electoral votes are given for a candidate for the Presidency who has indirectly received less than a majority of the whole num ber of ballots cast In the United' States or even less than cast for his highest opponent. Does the Eugene Register undertake to say that- the President thus chosen is any the less on that ac count the chief executive for the whole people of the United Stages? 1 - Or does the Eugene paper wish to le understood as declaring that the prin ciple of the election of the President by direct vote is violated because there are also ballots' In favor, indirectly, of hi? opponents In the race? ' Instead of being disregarded, the 32,- 000 voters who marked their ballots for C. E. S. Wood are entitled to r-ftr-,rA themselves as franc hi sea and favored with consideration for their participa tion in the contest, if the man receiving the highest number of votes is sent n the United States Senate. And the 32,000 voters would so regard such con firmation of the will of the majority. The fool killer is grossly neglecting a most promising field for his work, at Eugene. - IT IS AFTER TIME. It is time for a change' In the Sena. loriai vote. Eueene Rorl.t r That is what the Statesman has been w tnree weeks. The whole matter of selecting a Senator should ha-e been settled on the first billot after the name of the "highest candi date" voted for by the people was pre sented to the convention.

Imagine the force of their appeals to the same, peo ple, they are- now notifying 4 in auto cratic tonea "cannot cram a ; theory down ouh throats" unless it suits us. . AFTER MR. HEWITT DIED. At memorial serices recently held in honor of the late Abraham Hewitt, in he city of New York. Grover Cleveland wis one of the speakers. It is report ed by the newspapers that Mr. Cleve land made an excellent address, paying tribute to Mr. Hewitt's character and tualities. with discerning eulogy and hings of that sort. There, would be nothing out of the common fn this inci dent but for the fact that Mr. Hewitt had a distinct failing out with Cleve land, and, as a representative Demo crat, firmly refused to seek to have any nnuence with the Cleveland adminis tration. In fact. It was well known that Mr. Hewitt would hot go to the White House while Mr. Cleveland was Its occupant. That Mr. Hewitt hlm- elf was. an Irascible man and that he had a temper of his own, was never a "ecret. That he might easily have marreled with any President la true.' But in fact, Mr. Hewitt was simply one k reai company oi ueraocraU who. pavea the way to the White House fot Grover Cleveland, but who when Cleve land got the Presidential office, were treated in a, manner which they deemed not short of insulting. v . and There are others.

Browneli was floor ed, and it was during his frantic effort to get to hl feet that he attacked the Mays law (which he has frequently said he would recognize by voting for Mr. Geer). and said 45.000 voters could not cram down his hroat any theory he did not like. - And 'yet. it la said that within a few weeks he will be appealing to these same people for votes and mercy. t Nothing like being auch a" politicUn as De jasmine same debate. t inet statesman desires ; to . suggest. f nouver.p me aspiring President of the Senate, that if he lets this session .o-m-Ithout Voting accordTog to the : And there 'In a news item in the-Ptate?n-an of -esterday morning a statement crept n to the Effect that it was claimed .hat the merchants of Salem do not iay their clerks good wages. This was ather sweeping. . The statement is not sustained by the fajcts. There are clerks In Salem who do not receive high wanes. There are others who. for various reasons, are not paid high 7ages. This is true of every city and own. It is not the fault of the city, nor of the merchants generally of the .ity, that there are some square men in round holes and round men ' in square holes some who have hot found the places where they can. be of the highest value. This requires ad- juoimciiu inere are plenty pt men drawing $50 a month who could do. the work of 1150 men better than it is now being performed, and there are still more $50 men who think they could fill $150 positions better than they are being filled. And there are a great many clerks w ho think they could run the business very much better than it is being run by the proprietors and managers. On the whole, the pay of efficient clerks in Salem is as good as in most cities of Salem's size and business importance throughout the .country. It is higher on the average than In the Eastern citie- r .m- And it may be added that the demand for good clerk is better here than It has been , heretofore, and the chances - VUIO OlSfC of promotion are better.
