The boomerang the Baker City Re-
publican aud the Oregenian tried to
hurl at Senator King about his being
an A. P. A, has glanced off aad struck
the Hon. 7. T. Geer, who is generally
supposed to be a member of that So
ciety, though his friends were trying
to get vo,ers for him, both "comin'
and goin'," by asserting to Catholics
that his opponent was an A. P. A,
and holding Mr.. Geer up as 'bell
wether" of the order among the mem
bership of the organization.

tempted to defame the character OF
Will r. King, union nominee Tor gov

has been exposed as fraud by the
Eugene PosL,G. A R., and the Masonic
grand lodge of Oregon. II is a
credit to any man to be assailed by
such as "Col.' Alley, for his enumity

A learned editorial writer out south
insists that the Gage currency bill is
not an issue in this campaign, but the
gold standard is. By this admission
he acknowledges the Gage bill is
measure that cannot be defended.
But is not the bill an issue? 1t is the
measure that is endorsed by the presi-
dent: it was promulgated by the re-
publican secretary of the treasury,
and is the republican plan for reform
ing the currency. If 1t is not an is
sue,;then the money question cuts no
figure in this campaign.
Will r. King is held up by the re-
publican press as the enemy of the
Oregon National Guard, because he
voted to save the taxpayers $4,000
appropriated for the maintenance of
the militia. Who was the staie mill
tia when Mr.. King registered his vote?
And who was getting the benefit of
the appropriation? 1t was the First
regiment, most OF whom were located
in Portland, and two-thirds of the
appr opriation was being expended for
their benefit. They were the republic
can politicians who got nearly all the
commissions when the guard was call
ed into service. Mr. King did not
want $4,000 of the peoples money
appropriated to keep up political
machine in Portland.
The silver forces in congress are
held up to derision by the gold press
because they oppose the so-called war
revenue measure which proposes an
issuance of S600,OOO,OOO interest bear
ing bonds. Because they want to
save the people the burden of an
enormous debt, they are denounced as
being opposed to the war. In reality,
they are true patriots, willing to sup.
ply the sinews of war by legitimate
means, but want at the same time to
guard future generations from certain
bondage, which will result if the bond
issue is permitted. The real traitors
to the nation are those who insist
upon delivering the people into the
hands of bondholders, who are worse
enemies to liberty than are the Span
ish tyrants.

CHECKERED POLITICS.

The contest for the state superin.
tendency is bringing forth some pecu-
liar facts with reference to the school
book question in Oregon, and is be-
ginning to open the eyes of school
patrons all over the state to the fact
that there is corporation known as
the American Book Co. that is and
has for years been an interested party
in Oregon politics, to the extent THAT
it has selfish interest at stake that
BODIES no good to the public.
Recently Prof. Lyman, union nomi-
inee for superintendent of public in
struction published an exhibit show
ing the relative cost of books supplied
this state by the American Book Co.
and those furnished other states where
closer competition is permitted. This
called forth letter from Prof. Acker-
man, republican nominee, which was
published in the Oregonian of the
10Th, in. which he attempts to justify
himself and the book company, and
wherein he attempts to show that the
books he voted to adopt in 1894 were
less expensive than those voted for by
Prof. Lyman. Unfortunately for Prof.
Ackerman he garbled his list so as to
put good feature upon his side of the
case.
Prof. Ackerman's misrepresenta-
tions are refuted by John Gill, former
ly member of the firm of J. K. Gill
& Co., book deslers in Portland. In
his explanation Mr.. Gill not only dis
proves tbe statements made by Acker-
man, but shows some of the interests
of the American Book Co. in Oregon
politics. Among other things Mr..
Gill says:
"Does Professor Ackerman recall a |
circular which was gotten out as a |
campaign document four years ago, to |
which many prominent educators sub.
scribed, attacking Irwin, the repub-
lican candidate for superintendent of |
public instruction, and urging Reid's
lthe democratic nominee?

A VOICE FROM WASHINGTON

| The union of bimetallists called sill
yer democrats, silver republicans and
populists, in Oregon, have selected
candidate for governor in the person
of William Rufus King, who repre-
sents true democratic principles. Mr..
King is native of Washington,
thirty-four years old, self-made man,
a successful lawyer, leader in the
legislature of Oregon, and true be-
lever in bimetalism at the ratio of 16
to l by the United States actirg indie.
pendently of all other countries. He
was raised democrat, and remained
loyal to the party until Mr.. Cleyelaud
publicly joined the goldite republicans
to fasten upon this country the Eng.
lish gold standard. He then be zane
populist because he was still demo-
crat and not "a gold monopolist. He
has clean, Independent and consist
ent record, and is the material upon
which country must depend flor de-
liverance from the shackles of gold
standard contraction. He is a typical
representative of the Young men of
the West, and his unanimous selection |
by all the silver forces of Oregon
shows the drift of public sentiment in
the far West. The people are for him |
but plutocracy is against him. The |
battle for the people Is being made !
without money, patronage or official |
power. The battle for the single gold |
standard, monopoly, aristocracy and |
greed, is waged with patronage, both
state and national, and sustained by
an unlimited corruption fund to thwart
the will of the people; in other words,
the contest in Oregon is between the
people who produce wealth and the
parasites who haye. grown rich and
powerful by absorbing what the masses
produce. We have great faith in the
redemption of Oregon from goldbug
rule under the leadership of William
Rufus King.-Silver Knight Watch

UNDER FALSE GUISE.

The "financiers'' in congress who
are working in the interest of the
bondholders, serve their masters we'll
whenever opportunity offers, and are
at presedt pressing the button under
the guise of creating war revenue in a
way that if not closely watched will
fasten an immense debt upon the ma
ton. The $500, 100000 of bonds pro-
vided for in the Dtngley gold-standaad
bill Improperly styled ga bill to pro-
vide ways and means to meet war ex-
penditures"D are to all intents and
purposes gold bonds. 1t makes no
difference that the rulings of the de.
partment that bonds payable in either
gold or silver are gold bonds is in vio-
lation of law. We cannot change the
rulings of the department until We
have an executive who will insist
upon it that the law shall be enforced
without favor to gold spectators more
than to other citizens.
Another popularity of the bill is
that it makes no mention for what
purpose the bonds are to be issued. 1t
is not provided that they shall be
used to obtain money to prosecute the
war. 1t authorizes the issuance of the
$500. ZOO, 600 of bonds, or so much there
of as may be necessary, and the secre-
tary of the treasury is made the sole
judge of the necessity. Mr.. Gage has
often declared that it is necessary to
retire the greenbacks and treasury
notes, and it would not be unreason-
able to suppose that with such views
Mr.. Gage would issue the bonds to
provide basis for bank circulation
in order that greenbacks might be re-
tired. Mr.. Gage is banker, and has
repeatedly declared that national-bank
circulation is necessary to sound
financial system, and the bonds pro.
vided for in the bill would go long
way to meet that necessity" The
republican party would not have pro-
posed such measure in time of peace;
at all events, they have not veutured
to propose their currency and mono
metallic schemes at this season of con-
gress. Why should they, under the
whip and spur of a patriotic pretence,
ask the opponents of the gold stand
ard to adopt such a preposterous mode
OF raising money TO carry on the war?

TIMES ARE GOOD ENOUGH.

This is one of the catch phrases that
republican campaign orators are using
at present, and along with it they urge
the voters to not hazard change.
We second their assertions on both
propositions, but would desire that the
voter investigate somewhat before he
accepts their theories and arguments.
Times are really good for the major
ity of people at present, but what
caused the good timee? Was it legis-
lation, or was it the misfortunes OF
our neighbors abroadP What caused
the advance in the price of wheat?
Was it any act of the party that was
ushered into office on March 4, 1897.
Hardly. 1t wus the failure of crops in
the great wheat countries OF the
world? Had there been no famine in
India, Australia and Argentina last
year, would even the most sangu1ne re-
publican assert that wheat would have
been worth more than 40 cents a
bushel last fall? With present pros
poets for large crop abroad, were it
not for the war with Spain, would any
body hazard the opinion that any farm
product would be high today? Then
where can any party claim credit for
bringing about the present good times.
Now let US Investigate the proposed
changes. Who is insisting on a
change in our finances? Who is liable
to make it? The republican party
has presented to US the Gage bill, that
is measure to increase the interest
bearing debt of the country, so that
the present credit currency shall be
retired, and bank notes based on bonds
shall take its place. In short, it is
proposed to contract the currency at
the will of the national banks. 1t is
the republican party then that pro-
poses to make a change. Every sane
man knows that the free coinage of
silver cannot be accomplished during
the term of the present president. He
would veto any bill providing for free
coinage. But, ON the other hand,
such legislation as the Gage bill can
be averted if the republican party is
prevented from gaining control of
congress. Then il times are good
enough, insure no change being made
by electing union candidates for Office.

DAINTY PHOTOGRAPH FRAMES.
Row to Make the Popular BOOk-Shaped
Kind.

Kind.
The simple, always popular, book
shaped frames, to hold two, four, six
or even more photographs, are useful.
They may be covered with almost any
kind of material, though of course the
handsomer the material chosen, the
more dainty the results will be. These
frames may be closed like a book to
| lie on a table, thereby taking the place
! of the obsolete album, or they may
'be extended s6Seen fashion, partly open
| so as to exhibit the pictures they con-
tain. 1t is almost necessary to buy the
foundations for these frames, as it is
nearly impossible for a novice 10 cut
out the cardboard and have it perfect
ly exact, and unless they are exact
they are not at all pretty. The founda-
tions are sold for a few cents apiece,
and consist of two pieces of heavy card
board for each division or leaf of the
book. The back and front are the same
in size, eight inches by six, but tie

by 31s for the picture. For frame
capable of holding four pictures, eight
pieces of cardboard will be required,
four of which must have the opening as
already described. There will also be

piece cut off two inches and place aside

25-inch pieces, right side down, on the
table. Place layer of batting over the
silk, and on the batting adjust at equal
distances the four back pieces, allow
ing sufficient srace between each to

form. Then turn the edges of the ma
