ment for, therefore if it would grow it
must institute industries that will give
more work. What will be the first
manufacturing industry established?
There are loud assertions afoat that
in the recent election in this state
there was any amount of repeating and
illegal votine. Whether the claims
are true or not, they are disagreeable
to hear. This could be averted by the
adoption of strict registration law.
Whatever else may happen The
Dalles should keep on the look out for
every individual or corporation that
has money to invest in manufacturing.
We need factories that will consume
our raw material and give employment
to more people.
The people of this county should re-
member that prosperity for them can
only be made permanent by getting out
of debt and staying out. Now seems
to be time to get out. If you have
surplus of cash invest it, but do not
borrow to speculate on, should be OBJ
served.
Utah takes't the lead as a woman suff-
rage state, having elected Mrs. Martha
II. Cannon to the senate. Mrs. Can
non was nominated on the democl attic
ticket and her republican opponent
was her husband, Angus M. Cannon.
Either Mrs. Cannon is d most popular
woman or her husband most un-
popular man, since she beat him by
1000 votes.
Oregon has a number of commits
sions that are of no earthly use except
to furnish Offices for the fortunate in
incumbents. The members of the
next legislature were all pledged to
economy prior to the June election,
and the people will expect them to
begin fulfilling these pledges by cut
ting off the commissions and state
boards. They furnish abundant OPP
portunity for practicing economy.
Woman suffrage received blackeye
in California, where the proposed
amendment to the constitution con-
ferring che right of suffrage was badly
showed under in the recent election.
The staid old fathers and gallant
brothers of the golden state fatty re-
fused to place the fair sex on an
equality with them in governmental
affairs. They are now lords of the
situation and propose to retain their
dignity.
The dispatch announcing that the
war department has called upon trunk
lines to furnish Information as to their
ability to transport troops to Florida.
has we believe little significance, since
little inclination to recognize Cuba as
q belligerent. However, it may be
possible the presidents sense of hu-
manity has been aroused and he con-
templates putting stop to the butch
cries in Cuba.
Martin Luther Pipes is entitled to
some recognition at the hands of
President-Elect Mckinley. When he
goes to disbing out the federal patron
age in Oregon, we would suggest that |
he make Mortin Luther u. S. district |
attorney. He ought to be rewarded,
after having accepted nomination
last spring on free coinage platform, |
and after he was defeated found that |
his conscience would not permit him to |
support a candidate for president on
the same kind of platform.
People generally are too prone to
base great hopes upon the result of
an election; and are Invariably disap-
pointed. A change of the policies of
government cannot bring wealth to all
or good times to every section, there
fore under any administration the
country will be just about what we
make it by our individual efforts. If
we hope to get anything we will have
to earn it after the 4th of March next
just the same as we have in the past.
Certainly the republican party owes
much to Palmer and Buckner for the
success in the recent elections, and al
ready managers of the party are be-
ginning to show their gratitude by ar
ranging a reward for General Buckner,
suggesting that he be sent as minister
to Italy. Now they should pick out
fat job for General Palmer. 1t would
be we'll to send both the old generals
off to some foreign country, since they
have outlived their usefulness here.
Alreadyuprofessional politicians are
beginning to figure upon who shall
compose McKinley's cabinet. Hun
dreds of them are hungry for Office, and
ready to acceps any job, from secretary
of state down to secretary of Agricul-
ture. If Mr.. Mckinley is grateful for
past faYors and proposes to hand out
cabinet offices in payment for services
rendered in the recent campaign, he
ought to make Grover Cleveland secre-
tary of state and John G. Carlisle
secretary of the treasury.
If we ever arrive at a stage of uni
versal education, where all, both the
rich and the poor, shall have knowl-
edge of the rudimentary branches, it
must be attained through the public
schools, for they are the only schools
