FULL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH REPORT
, WHY TAFT LOST OREGON.
There was not a dollar spent in the newspapers nor a pub
lic meeting held for Roosevelt in Oregon.
The Capital Journal was the only daily paper supporting
him.
The Oregonian says two weeks ago Taft could have carried
Oregon, but it is mistaken.
Monopoly politics and bossism made it impossible to carry
Oregon for Taft at any time.
Taft was told by the machine what to say to the people,
and who to meet, and his lips were sealed on the Oregon system. I
The mouthpiece of the machine announced that Oregon wa3
for Taft, and the Oregon delegation would be for Taft.
A machine state central committee was erected over the
heads of the regular state committee. '.
County committees were erected over the regular county com
mittees by the machine.
The regular republican party organization provided by the
direct primary law was scorned and trampled under foot.
It was superceded by a machine organization to overthrow
the legal organization.
The Taft managers sought to overthrow the direct primary
law while professing to be progressives.
The machine committee adopted a progressive platform, but
was organized to override the law.
Taft became morally and politically an impossibility in
Oregon. . , .
He became so by surrendering to machine dictation that
went so far as to say whom he might meet personally.
A BUSINESS SUGGESTION.
Say, Mr. Propertyowner, and Mr. Businessman at Salem,
just a word with you.
Certain organizations make this city grow and keep it grow
ing, and make our business grow and our property increase in
value.
Give the credit to the state institutions, the commercial
todies, the newspapers, or what you like.
You cannot overlook the fact that Salem as an educational
city has its largest home building asset out of Willamette Uni
versity. The securing of the half-million-dollar endowment fund means
a great big factor if not the main factor in its future growth.
In five years this city has added on five millions of wealth
and in the next five years will add on ten millions.
Securing the half-million endowment will help increase your
business and add to the value of your property fifty per cent in
five years.
Can you not give each year for the next five years an amount
that will insure this constant growth in a large degree.
It is not a question of Methodism, or of this church or that,
but a business proposition for each man to consider.
There is not a business man in this city or a property
owner that could not afford to give a five-year note and make
back each year five times what he gives.
o
THE OREGON SENATORSIIIP.
Senator Bourne lost in his effort for a renomination out of
devotion to a high ideal.
If he had come to Oregon and made a personal campaign,
he could not have failed of renomination.
Senator Selling is a man of high character.
Mr. Morton of Salem made a strong, clean campaign, and
will be an easy Becond to Selling.
Whether Oergon has a republican senator to succeed Bourne
depends upon the way the campaign is conducted from now on.
A good foundation has been laid for a different result.
GREAT VICTORY FOR DAIRYING.
The nomination of J. D. Mickle for state food and dairy com
missioner was a great victory for the dairy industry.
That office has been used to drive people out of dairying,
and has been the center of political scandal for a number of
years.
Tho office now goes into the hands of a man who ought to
be able to use it to build up the dairy industry instead of
tearing it down.
It will depend Home on the kind of men employed as deputies
to go over the state and carry out the real purpose of the laws.
If Mr. Mickle will appoint honest men, competent men, and
not political grafters and professional fee chasers he can do
eome good.
Oregon has a great future as a natural dairy state and the
office should be used to boost dairying instead of hampering it.
If Mr. Micklo can run that office no that in four years he
will double the output of the dairies it will be a blessing. ,
He can administer the pure food part of his office so as to
liclp build up Oregon industries Instead of crippling thorn.
The blind and blundering political grafter only makes it
Impossible for honest and worthy producers to succeed in any
business.
o
THE RESULT IN MARION.
Tho nomination of Wm. Esch for sheriff places a very faith
ful and competent man before the people for that office.
The renominat ion of County Judge Bushey and Commissioner
Beck with was a just tribute for good work.
They were the only restraining power that held down high
taxes in Marion county.
Max Gehlar for county clerk means a man of tho highest
efficiency and who will work hard for tho taxpayers.
These meri all mean something in the way of first-class
administration.
They are men who stand for reducing the burden of taxes.
DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN.
Lost Wednesday there passed away one of the boat women
that ever lived in Oregon Mrs.J. A. Olssen of Newport.
Mrs. Olsson came to tho United States from Sweden when a
yourur girl and went direct to the Pacific Coast to live.
With her husband they made home in the wilderness on Ya
quina bay, when there were mostly Indians and little civilization.
She worked hard and never lost hope, was always full of life
and spirits, and her hand went out in kindness and charity
N p".
Tim poorest was never turred away from her door cmptv
rinndod and the hungry were always fed when they were within
rcn',v of her bounty.
She was devoted to her husband and to her son, and there
vpi a moment in tho twenty-four hours of the day she did
not th'nk of them.
She was faithful to her religion born and raised in tho
Lutheran communion but her religion was broader than any
church.
Mrs. Olssen will be remembered for her purity of heart and
hp plurality and cheerfulness of temperament as long as her
fr'ends live.

DISARMING THE
GUN TOTING "CROOK"
One of the most serious problems
confronting tho people of the United
States Is the enactment of adequate
laws to check crlmcB of violence that
annually disgrace the records of this
country. At first sight nothing looks
simpler. A law rigidly restricting the
sale of weapons and the license to
carry these would seem ' all that Is
necessary, but, as proved by recent
experience In the State of New York,
laws based on this principle result In
disarming the lawabldlng citizen with
out In the least affecting criminals
who have Bcorcs of under-handed
means of obtaining wenpons and who
welcome with open arms any law that
will Insure them defenceless victims,
Other states besides New York have
sought to dovlne laws to prevent gun
toting by criminal and Irresponsible
people, but each attempt to deter the
respectablo citizen from arming him
self has proved the fallacy of the
theory that the thug and the crook
can be legislated out of business by
so frail a ruBe as making It difficult
for him to buy arms In the open
market.
There should be no difficulty In de
vising an effective "bullet-proof" re
volver law If the subject Is first dis
sected In the light of reason. Woro
It possible by duo process of the law
to arm every law-abiding citizen with
an automatic pistol and to compel
him to learn to shoot straight with
it, and were it possible at the same
time to disarm every thug and crlm
Inn In, crimes and violence would be
unheard of. This stands to reason,
and standing to reason, no law at
variance with this principle can be
a good law. The revolver law needed
Is one which, on the one hand, will
encourage the arming of respectable
citizens and, on the other, will make
gun toting so hazardous for the
criminal that he will gladly disarm
himself. Enact a law that will pro
vide-
First: That the act of carrying
firearms or other weapons while
committing; or attempting to commit
a crime be regarded as attempt to
commit murder, punishable with not
less than fifteen years Imprisonment;
this sentence to be made mandatory
on the part of the courts.
Second: That, license or no license
no person ever convicted of burglary
or any other crime of violence may
carry firearms or other weapons un
der penalty of not less than five years
Imprisonment; this sentence to be
made mandatory on tho part of the
court.
Given law of this sort and the
homlcldo problem will take care of
Itself.
Aa for the law-abldlnir citizen, 'he
Is not the one In need of being dis
armed. Ho It to all Intents and pur
poses a member of th police. De
terring him from arming himself Is
as sound In theory as It would he to
disarm the police Itself, rermlt him
to retain weapons of self-defonse for
home protection without further re
strictions than to sign Ms name and
addresH In a dealer's register, open
to police Infection. License him to
carr revolvers when he can prove that
he has sufficient reason to arm him
self. A community of armed,
reBpectable cltlnena Is the strongest
adjunct to. tho police.
