BEC
"THROAT CRAMMING" PROCESS.
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

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were ill-fitting and out of date, but a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 !

we have foreign islands to defend, a

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. '

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

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

'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-

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
