Outcome of the Election in Oregon Not
Yet Certain.
Portland, Ore, June 2.-Never have
tickets in Oregon been so scratched as
they were at Mondays election. The
count is progressing phenomenally
slow throughout the state. The only
things certain are that the republicans
have elected Bean supreme Judge and
been successful in most of the coun-
ties with the local offices, but the scat
tering figures thus far received show
the result to be greatly mixed owing
to the local issues involved. 1t is i'm
possible as yet to determine whether
the republicans will control the next
legislature or whether it will be in
the hands of the populists and demo-
Gratis. The populists show great gains
in some Of the districts. In the Second
congressional district the Indications
point to the election of Ellis (rep.),
while Quinn (pop.) seems to be leading
Northrup (ind. rep.) in this district.

The Soc ial Problem, No 5.

How many people are complain
ing about allowing an ignorant mar
the right to vote At first sight we
might say that the complaint was
Justly made. But let Us consider
How many thousands upon thous-
ands of people, yes / fear millions
are in their youth deprived of the
privileges of even II public schoo
education Not legally perhaps
but the struggle for daily bread is
the primary prevention. Many are
without aarents to direct them and
care for them. An equal number
are compelled assist their wild
NV mothar ned fathers
to support n lars Iamily aud to de
fend them against the cold charities
of greedy, hungry world. Look
ing at it in this light, can we con
sistently complain of the ignorant
man casting his ballot Here Is
where social reform is necessary
Here is where the benefit to be de.
rived from Social Economy can be
practically tested. These are ques-
tions based ON actual realities. They
are by no means like the German
Hunter and his faithful servant
"Jammie.' This old hunter, like all
other rihemen. delighted N mar
rating his exploits and always sub
stantiated his statements by calling
ing ON his faithful servant, Jam
mie." The aged sportsman was ac-
customcl to eXaggcrate great deal
and the faithful servant found great
difficulty in making his masters )
stories appear consistent.
One day, among Il jolly circle of
his companions, the hunter IN his
Slee, told Of shooting moose with Il
single ball. The ball. he said,
passed through its hind feet"
How can this be - inquired a half
dozen ieering voices. "Jammic,' -
said the hunter, you explain -
Jammie looked downcast. Never
before had his master put him in
such Il plight, but he knew he dare
not desert him now. Jammie began
scratching his head and said: The
reason the ball entered the hind
foot, the moose was just scratching
his head with that particular foot.
When the hunter and his servant
were alone the first time after
that, Jammie was rewarded for his
faithful services. But, said Jam
mie, "you must be more careful,
hereafter that you do not get your
lies so far apart. | had great diff
Guilty in getting that one together"
Unlike the hunters our statements
are facts. 1t is evident that very
much of the suffering could be al
leviated. 1t is not our purpose to
pull down moneyed men and TO sink
them into the dephths of Hades,
but to show how much unnecessary
suffering, misery aud woe is con
stautly affecting humankind. We
desire to show you by fair argument
that most of it is unnecessary and
that the power to lessen these af-
hictions liesi in human hands, hands
in most cases filled with abundance
Of wealth. Since most cases of suf.
fering and misery rise from want,
tho power to relieve lies in the
hands of moneyed men and conse-
quently they hold Il prominent part

aud of the chaotic regime Of chance,
aud the iniquity of capital in the
light of their doctrine of value.
Now, the simplest solution TO this
theory of socialism is the demand
for justice in all our relations with
fellowman. Thoughtful people have
grown distrustful of the justice in
these United States for they can
not help but see how difficult, if not
impossible, 1t is to convict man
who has ample resources. He may
be murderer aud william who has
wronged widows and orphans out of
their possessions, but if he only has
money enough he can generally
laugh Mt the hangman and defy the
penitentiary. Paupers who should
be guilty of such crimes would very
speedily be made examples of, to
deter other beggars like themselves
from initiating their superiors.
We temporarily suspend the dis
cussion of this vital question. 1t is
an all important one aud merits the
careful scrutiny of philanthropists
Ere long we will devote more space
to this theme.
