WILL THEY BOLT2

The supporters of Mr.. Her
mann's candidacy do not pretend
that he is alone entitled to seek
for the nomination. Any good
republican can with the utmost
propriety come before the con-
gressional convention and ask for
the honor. The convention should
simply select candidate accord
ing to his fitness and the desires
of the people.
The various rivals of Mr.. Her
mann have, however, no right to
savagely attack and lnisrepresent
him or his work. He is not be-
yond criticism, but thier criti-
cisrn, finding but little to feed
upon, has degenerated into sense
less abuse. 1t IS not strong evi-
dence of confidence in their own
merits to thus rely upon sup
posed dehcienies in another, fo1
recognition.
Several republican newspapers
which are supporting various can
didates are constantly sneering at
or railing against Mr.. Hermann.
Theydo not attempt to show any.
thing that Hermann has done OF
failed to do this congress, thai
he has not done or has not failed
to do at any other congress. Yet
all these papers during the va
rious campaigns have told their
readers that Binger Hermann was
the man for Oregon, and advised
thespeople to vote for him. There
has been nothing in Mr.. Her
mann's career the past two years
to warrant any change Of opinion
respecting him. These. papers
have not changed their real opi1l-
ions, but they have changed their
policy, for their counties have fa-
vorite sons who covet congress
ionaI honors.
Notwithstanding the bold claim
of the opposition, Hermann will
doubtless be the republican NOM
inee. Do these republican pa
pers, who are now abusing Her
mann, intend bolting? If not,
they have an rlngraceful task be-
fore them and will find them
selves under the awkward 11eces-
sity of refuting their own arti-
cles reprinted in democratic and
populist papers. This paper sup
ports Mr.. Hermann. It believes
that he has proven himself capa-
bleaof looking after the interests
of Oregon; that he has had ex-
Iperience that would be lacking
in "a new man and that he is
almost the unanimous choice of
the people of Benton county. We
expect, however, to support the
republican nominee, whether it
be Hermann, Tongue, Brownell,
Truitt, Ford, Geer, Miller, or any
of the capable republicans men
toned for the place. The Ga
zETTE recognizes the right of all
of these gentlemen to come be-
fore the convention without being
attacked by republican journals
and claims the same right for
Mr.. Hermann.
The Hillsboro Independent,
probably the ablest, editorially,
of the few anti-Hermann papers,
attacks Hermann and praises
Tongue in a long editorial. 1t
styles the congressman, as "a
messenger boy to the depart
|nents" and "a beggar for appro-
Priations." Mr.. Tongue is an
bleman and would be the choice
Pf a great many Benton county
Eepublicans were Hermann not a
candidate, but such vicious at
acks on Mr.. Hermann will not
end:.to increase their regard for
be Washington county candi-
ate.

GREAT JOY KILLED HIM

Robert Chandler's wife was given rail-
road tickets for herself and husband to
Roanoke, Va, by the department of chari-
ties. They came to Pittsburg several years
ago, and in short while consumption dis
abled Chandler. His wife then took up
the burden of supporting him and herself.
AS Chandler grew worse he wanted to
go back to his southern home to die.
His wife toiled every day, but her earn
ings were hardly enough to keep her.
self and her husband. She tried for
two or three years to save enough money
to take him back, but the demands of diff
ferent periods of misfortune took her little
savings more than once. She was at last
discouraged. Each day she saw her hus-
band growing worse. They were living on
Harmar street, and the idea of going to
Roanoke to die was on Chandler's mind
continually. His wife thought she could
prolon9 his life by taking him back there.
She told her story to Examiner George
tickets, after he found her to be worthy
woman.
A carriage was sent to take Chandler
from his home to the Baltimore and Ohio
depot. He was as happy as child when
he was helped into it. The prospect of see
ing his. old home again wrought such a
change in him that his wife and friends
thought he would gain in strength in the
warmer climate of the south. He bade his
friends good-by and told them that he felt
as if he was good for couple of more
years yet anyhow. When the carriage
drove away he leaned out of the window.
waved his neighbors last adieu and then
settled back in the cushions.
At the depot the driver jumped down
from his seat, opened the carriage door
and said cheerfully: "Here we are, old
man." Chandler made no reply. He was
sitting upright as if asleep. The driver
spoke to him again, but he did not stir.
Then the driver caught him by the shoul-
der and shook him gently to arouse him.
When he released his hold, Chandler's
head and body dropped forward, and a
corpse fell into the drivers arms. His hap
piness at having the means to fulfill his
last wish was too much for his exhausted
vitality. Disease had nearly ended his
life-and Joy finished the work.-Pittsbure

division to appear at the surgeons office
on fixed date. Quite late on that day a
boy came hurrying into the office with a
small package. The surgeon, upon OPEN

fashioned silver watch. The following
note explains why they were sent:
"Oye inspector Dear Sir: The day be.

Another Phase of paternalism

Three hundred prominent Democrats
met in St. Louis Saturday TO consider the
silver question. A report was adopted de-
nouncug the attempt Of the free silver ad.
vocates to commit the Democratic party
in that and other states to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l, regardless of the commercial
value of the two metals and regardless of
the action of other commercial nations of
the world. The report also says: "The
free coinage of silver at ratio above its
market value, is but another phase of that
paternalism and favor to the few at the ex-
pense of the many against which the DEM
ocra,ic party has always struggled. To fix
by law a value upon silver, which it does
not command in the open market. is to do
for the silver barons of the Rocky mount
aims what has long, under the special guise
of protection to home industries, been
done for the iron barons of the Alle-
gheneys"

CANADIAN STATESMEN

1t is mistake to think that the act
which led TO the confederation of the
various provinces in 1867 has attaine d
no higher meaning in the life of the Cana
dian people than that of constitutional
union. 1t carries with it meaning
of far deeper irnport-a union of
hearts, whose offspring is oneness of
patriotic aim and purpose. OF course
it would be idle to say that the Canad an
people are unit upon all questions or
vital interest to the life and growth of the
dominion. The geographical inter ssts of
Canada are SO varied that they must neces-
sarily be at times some friction and clash
ing of provincial needs and ambitions.
This is the case at Washington; this is the
case, too, in so small confederat on as the
cantons of Switzerland.
A stranger visiting the gallery of the
Canadian house OF commons is struck with
the dignity and decorum which mark the
proceedings and surround even the warmest
and keenest of debates. Parliamentary pro-
cedure being rigidly adhered to. there 10

Republicans Must Face the Issue

While President Cleveland and his cabi-
net have been battling for honest money
and forcing the issues in Democratic con.
ventions throughout the country, the Re-
publicans have been doing what they could
to evade the subject. The consequence is
that the Republican silverites have become
emboldened and are forcing the fighting.
They perceive that the sound-money lead.
ers in the Republican party are manifest
ing cowardice, and the silverites are. there
fore. determined to press home their adj
vantage. The Republican leaders and the
Republican press must face the issue and
speak right out in meeting. They must
abandon their shuillilg and evasion, and

vention.-Phladelph Ledger lind. Rep)

1921, when seeds were planted as an ex-
