A Word of Protest.

At the risk Of repetition, the
GAZETTE wishes again to offer
a word of protest to the false re-
ports concerning Oregon made
by irresponsible visitors from the
East, who spend few days in
this state and return home to
discourage desirable emigration.
In our last issue we devoted a
few lines to a Mr.. Hayden, of
Franklin. Nebraska, who paid a
flying trip to this section and re-
turned home with an adverse
story regarding tbe country and
| its resources, W h C h the
Seminal, published at Franklin,
to remark: "We cannot recon-
mend that county,"
A letter received a few days
ago by Mr.. Francisco, himself a
recent arrival from Nebraska,
credits Mr.. Hayden with the
statement that Oregon is over
run with people and the mud
here is knee deep.
Oregon, with land area of
"a, 500 square miles and a popu-
lation of less than 500, 900, over
run with people! Nebraska has
a land area of only IS, $40 square
miles, while her population is
nearly 100000. A few days
ago fve-mile horse race occurr-
ed on the state road south of this
city. The time made takes the
edge off of Mr. Hayden's mud
story. On the first day of last
month Nebraska was visited by
a bowling blizzard and snow
storm; three weeks later the peo-.
pie of that state were swelterlng
in temperature of 98 degrees
and experiencing tie pleasures
of sand storm.
During that period citizens of
Corvallis were enjoying an aver
age temperature Of 90 degrees;
some beautiful spring days, ard
some unreasonable showers.

Five-Mi1e Race.

Tuesday afternoon some horse
talk between Walt Brown and
Roy Rickard resulted in a chaf-
1enge for a race between the big
black and the bay horse of their
respective owners. The race was
from the Mafys river bridge to
the Ned Smith place,s a distance
of something inotes than five
miles. The race !, took place
about seven O'Clock in the eve
ming and attracted quite crowd
of men aud boys Quito the bridge
to see the start. \ -.
George Smith and Chester
Avery acted as starters, while
Walt Brown and his son, George,
and Herman Breyer, went out to
the Ned Smith place before the
race to ohiciate as judges. Roy
Rickard rode his own horse and
Tom Vidito rode the black ami
NAL for Walt Brown. <
The horses took good pace
from the word "go'' and, con.
sidering the state of the roads,
made fairly good time. They
made the distance in something
like II minutes. The wager
was for $40 and horse against
horse. The big black of Walt
Brown won by about half a mile,
as nearly as could be judged. A
few bets of cigars: dimes ano
quarters were made by outsiders.
The whole affair passed off good
naturedly.

How Can It Be2

Our frequently accurate contempor- ary the Tucson Citizen, has disposed of the election of a delegate to con gress which usually occurs in Novem- Der, showing why it is impossible for a republican to be elected. We may pass over the reasons for inevitable demo- cratic success and ask if that success in the light of the Citizen would not be a reflection upon the democratic party of the territory.
 Did not the Citizen since the revels of last Wednesday at Tucson say, if not in so many words, at any rate in more words, that the democratic candidate for congress, Colonel Wilson, had se- cured his nomination by a successful appeal to the worst element in his party? Did he not coddle the "cormor- ant and the commune" and did he not hold forth to be a laborer when the only labor he performed taxed only the muscles of the throat and jaw? So effective was the appeal of Colonel Will son to this worst element of his party that he secured more than 100 of the 132 delegates in the convention. Can there be such a disparity in the numbers of the good and bad democrats? Can the good democrats be expected to coop crate with their bad brethren in the election of Colonel Wilson. We do not believe the editor of the Citizen, the separator of the good from the bad, would like to see them jumbled to- gether again in the wake of Colonel Wilson.

What the Monroe Doctrine Is.

Every time an American president, or cabinet officer. or senator says any thing about the Monroe doctrine Aus trian and German papers particularly have severe convulsions. They deduce from the utterance, no matter how trite it may be. threat against this or that nation of Europe and insist upon con- bination against the awful Yankee who is a menace to the peace of the world in general If they would only under stand the matter as we do in this coun- try they could possess their souls in patience. The Monroe doctrine is not an aggressive one. In it's very essence 1t is quicsCent so long as European nations respect it. In a nutshell it is, There is no room for additional colo nies under foreign rulers in the west ern hemisphere" This does not mean war. or menace. or injustice. It means principally that the status quo must be eserved.-Minneapol Times.

From South Americas Yankee Land

A distinguished citizen of Bueuos Ayres, Senor Melton Panelo, and his son, R. U. Panelo, are Washington guests.
 "We'are intense admirers of the great North American republic" said Senor Panelo, "and are bent on emulating the great industrial triumphs of our Yankee friends. Our people are in tensely ambitious, and are constantly saying: See what the Americans have achieved. It may take us long while. but we will finally parallel what they have accomplished in the states
 ''The city of Buenos Ayres has one million population, and is. next to Paris, the most important Latin me- tropolis in the world. I have traveleI over every country in Europe, and haze seen many of your great cities, but mo- where have I observed more modern live and attractive city. There is no place in the world that is as splendidly illuminated every night in the year as Buenos Ayres. It has broad and well kept streets, fully as good as these of Washington.

Prosperity and the Division of It.

Our national prosperity is d constant object of attention and of wonder. So far as wonder is concerned, there is no large ground for it. There are 75,0O0,- eco and more of people in this country, and very large ajority of this hand some number consists of energetic and capable Individuals This iS good deal, but it is by 10 means all. Ever since the civil war our people have been working most diligently to make good the cost of that gigantic and use full struggle. The habit of getting out of debt was therefore well established during the first ten years of the last thirty years. By simply maintaining that habit for almost twenty years af- ter the need of it had passed this na- tion has piled up bank accounts. both individual and national, that astonish ourselves, when we pause for moment to think about them. But when one takes. into account how everybody has worked during all these recent years. the results accomplished are not so wonderful. The results are very nearly mathematical. Assuming the Condi- tions. both in respect to the natural resources of this country and the qual- ity and number of the population oc- cupying it, no other results could fairly be expected Hartford Courant.

 Johnny Canuck in War

To South Africa Great Britain sent Tommy Atkins, Australia forwarded Iommy Corhstalk, and Canada dis patched Johnny Canuck. Much has been said regarding the merits of the hghting material raised by the empire. and nothing save praise has come our way. We are, therefore, not in search of compliments. nor do we wish to draw any invidious distinctions. That Can ada did it's duty and did it well, is suc- f1cient for the average Canadian. In other quarters, however, the part taken Tn the war by Johnny Canuck and othe r Brttons is still a subject of comment.
 A story of the war. written by an Australian, Corporal Adams, gives the impressions of man in the ranks. The writer, who speaks highly of the work of the Australians, comedies that the empire produced two kinds of soldiers that were even better. The best. in his Judgment were the Canadians. and next came the New Zealanders. Of the Canadians MT. Abbott speaks in this wise: Their dashing actions. cool ferocity, quiet 'slimness' and guileless 'verneukery' of the Boers themselves and their pure hard cheek-rendered
 
 they went" As an illustrat ton of the 'verneukery" of the Canadians, an in cident in which they trapped the tricky zarps, or Johannesburg police. by adopting the Boer tactics is cited. The Canadians held strong position on the edge of ridge which the zarps were trying to capture. After a desultory engagement the Canadians rose and os- tentatiously retired. They gaIloped past gap in the bridge, through which the Boers could see them in full retreat, but under cover of the hill they re- turned to their old positions. where they silently awaited the pursuing Boers. It was not often that the coun- trymen of slippery De Wet were caught by such a ruse, but we are informed that in this instance it was entirely successful The Boers advanced until at 200 yards the Canadians opened q deadly and effective fire. before which the supposed victors retired with heavy loss and in havoc.

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, SEPT. 9, 1902
A Second Sunm ons to the
 Sh hoCNheadS.

Once more has Colonel Watterson contemplated, unused, and spoken. Urey Woodson is partly responsible for it. Urey is the Kentucky member of the democratic national committee. He edits a paper at Owensboro. He says things like this in his paper: Democracy and factionism are in- compatible How is a veteran of the old political wars, with eyes and brains in his head, to keep quiet when in his own state such folly is thrust at him by the national committeeman? The colonel invites Urey to rub his glasses and take a good long look at Grover Cleveland, David B. Hill and the other segregated customers, and then at MT. Bryan. Democracy and factionism incompatible, quotha! They are bed fellows" says Watterson, and if the rank and file of the party would win they must kick at least the factionism out of bed, and send it sprawling on the floor"
 He has unused some more about the 1904 platform and candidate. His counsel to his party is to stick to two planks-tariff for revenue only, uniform laws wherever the flag floats. We take this second one to be our old acquaint- ance, ex proprio vigore, slightly dis guised in rhetoric. The party is ad- monished not to tumble into "the old COpperhead hole" and not to butt it's head foolishly against that unbudgeable fact, Expansion. It is told that there is neither salvation nor any help to speak of in the old leaders. They are all failures-''rapk failures" MT. Hill will not like this part of the colonel's Bryan might be helpful, the colonel says, if he were not filled with him. self" The thing to do is to find and nominate some rock-ribbed democrat of q pivotal state-'determinate state is the coloners phrase this year, and he'd better overhaul it-who believes in the two blanks with all his heart and if elected, will stand resolutely on them instead of jumping down and running away.
 The one real hope Watterson sees anywhere is the democratic youth. Really the shockheads must come to the rescue and take the lead" he says 'the long-legged, ig-brained young sters, with heads on their shoulders and hearts in their bosoms, not yet corrupted by office-seeking and office holding, yet faithful to organic truth because they have not learned to be either deceitful or skeptical.''
 This has a familiar sound. A year ago, when he was in the first flush of his enthusiasm over Tom Johnson's rotund self and Tom Johnson's glori- ously round barrel. the colonel sent out hurry call to the shockheads. "Go in, you young billygoats," he af- fectionately exhorted them, and win," Perhaps this second summons may bring them drumming. Let's watch and see.

are "cormorants" and members of the
 commune" is no reason why the other fourth should sin with them. If the fourth who supported MT. shannon so ardently against the worst element of the party are as decent as the. editor votes can not be counted upon to per petuate the crime committed at the territorial convention at Tucson. If then Colonel Wilson should be deprived of the support of one-fourth of his party. and according to the Citizen the best fourth, by what mathematical pro- cess does the Citizen at this time, two months in advance of the time fixed by the statutes for holding the election. already count the colonel into office?We fear that the editor of the Citizen as ;t champion of the cause of right is too easily and too quickly discouraged. But of his party better than we do and is figuring upon a solid democratic vote.
 But if those immaculate democrats whom the editor of the Citizen has apotheosized for their support and en- couragement of political purity in the person of MT. Shannon will keep up the war against wrong until after the cleo tion, we see many ways by which they can succeed in keeping Colonel Wilson, that appellant to the "cormorants" and the commune" out of Washington after all. Let our outnumbered breth- ren not despair. The battle is not yet over

The Presidents Southern Tour.

President Roosevelts tour of south ern Ohio. of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and West Virginia, with even more interest than attended his visit to New England. The sym pathy of the American people has been extended to the president because of the accident at Pittsfeld, but there has also been profound gratitude on his escape with such slight injuries. The accident to MT. Roosevelt and his party will have a tendency to arouse public interest in every detail of his future movements. That interest will be more personal and less political than that which attended his New England tour. It will not, however. be coupled with any considerable anxiety, for the pre- sumption must be that every precau- tion for the safety of the president will be taken, now that he has had such a close call and almost miraculous es- cape.
 In several European centers, the re- ports say, rejoicing over the escape of the president was coupled with pain full surprise" as the details of the col lision became known. This may be readily understood. Such an accident would have been impossible in Europe. When the head of one of the great Flu ropean countries travels no chances are taken with such ordinary and obvious clements of danger as that which caused the wreck at Pittsfield. He is surrounded with every possible protec- ton, and about the only danger In which he stands is that resulting from CT coupled with trcachery. Railway and street car travel would not be per mitted along the route of a procession headed by European ruler.-Kansas City Star.

There came to the office of The Re publican yesterday a Cuban postal card bearing a picture said to be that of the tCmb of the first Rough Rider killed on that island. The name of the occu- pant of the tomb is not given, and as a matter of fact it could not be if he were the first of the Rough Riders to fall, for there is a doubt as to who of them died first. But whoever the com piler of the postal card had in mind, his memory is embalmed in verse which shows a better intention than execu- tion. It is as follows:
 file came from the land of the brave
 Cuba to free.
 May his soul rest in peace
 In Cuba,
 The land he set free"
 Most of the soldiers who went to Cuba from this country went with the purpose of giving up their lives. if necessary, for the freedom of the op- pressed, but probably not one of all the number would have elected to leave his soul on the island through all eternity.
