THE FIFTEENTH A MEN I'd.
MENT.

The Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
about which so much is heard in the
present campaign, aud to which the
Southern States trace all of tn il
trouble with the negro problem
because it gave that race the right 10
vote, was declared in a proc n
of the Secretary of State, NJ 4rch 30,
1870, it having been rat fled 10y the
Legislatures of wenty-nine out of the
thirty S ates Nine # these
States were directly Southern States
North Carolina, Louisiana, So 9TH Car
Dina, Florida, Virginia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia AID Texas. They
were then ruled by negro and carpet
tag government an the native whites
had no say in The matter.
The following States rejec ed the
amendment = Maryland, California
Delaware, Kentucky, Oregon and Ten
neSsee.
The State of New York withd ew
her consent to the Fiji zenith Amend
ment January 5, 1870 aud New Je s Y
did not ratify it, until February 81
1871. None of them really wanted such
a law, but were whippe into line by
fraud and the power of the do ninant
(Republican) party. In the S'u h
this was effected by negro demoralizl-
ton and the refusal to let the white
men vote. 1t was terrible crime and
Outrage, and we are suffering from its
blighting effects even tn this day.
Following is the tHXt of the IF
teenth Amendment as inc ,rporated
in the Constitu ion of the United
States:
ARTICLE XIV.
Sec. |. The right Of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not he
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State on account of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude.
Sec. 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by appro-
pirate legislation.

Good Hiding Place.

There is a very seemingly nee
essary appropriation made in the
shape of $4,000, and called a
CONTINGENT FUND.
My, what a fine hiding place
this must be for many a gift. A
gift to a certain hospital was
made by the Republican Board
of Commissioners and charged
to "Road and Bridge Fund" 1t
was something like $500, we are
told. Now if this was a proper
gift, why not call it by its right
name, and not try to hide it in
a fund to which it ought not to
have been charged. This con-
tingent fund no doubt contains
many such items, and we know
it would be interesting to our
taxpayers if they knew what
this $4,000 contingent fund was
used for.

GRAFT SHOULD GIVE
HIS MITE.

In view Of the heavy expense in dis
tribuiing literature and other legiti-
mate expenses of the campaign, the
Campaign Chairman, Mr.. ]. p. Biser,
has requested contribution from the
Democrats of the county, however
small, to aid in the prosecution of the
good work entrusted to his keeping.
This is an appeal which should meet
with generous response, as it is not
often our people are called on to aid in
so important a campaign. The Gen.
trail Committee in each district in the
county should take this matter in
hand and be prepared 10 make an
early report to Chairman Biser.

LEARN HOW TO MARK YOUR
BALLOT.

Don't hesitate to try and learn how
to properly mark your ballot. Sample
tickets will be sent to every Demo-
cratic voter. Go over this ticket at
your homes, with your wives and
daughters, and learn how to mark all
the Democratic nominees as well as
the amendment. All should try and
learn how to mark the ticket There
will be many hundred tickets thrown
out for improper marking. Take your
time, don't get nervous, but learn at
home when you get the sample ballot
1t will be just like the one you are to
mark in the booths on election day.

MILES ANSWERS RAYNER.

The Honorable Joshua w. Miles
has entered the lists against the Hon.
orable Isidor Rayner, and in reply t"
his letter of last week, answers him in
Tuesdays Sun in q public letter i'll
which he charges him with insincerity
and The most manifest duplicity. He
charges Senator Rayner with offering
to agree to support the Constitutional
Amendment, during the discussion
pending its adoption by the Legisla-
ture, in return for the support OF GER
tain individuals for his own candt
dacy for the Senstorship. He adds
new zest to the campaign and, as it is
undoubtedly true, will take away from
the Rayner letter all of its possible
influence and turn the tide of popular
favor toward tue measure he so scath-
il ely denounces.

1t is rumored that the
County Commissioners have
borrowed various sums of money
upon which they pay 6 per
cent. They are temporary
loans for items not levied for
and the point made here is that
certain interest could have been
saved had the loans have been
at 5 per cent, which is easily
gotten these days on good Sc
curity like Frederick County's
credit. 1t has been figured that
several hundred dollars could
have been saved to the tax
payers.

No one feels the high tax
rate like the man who planks
down his hard earned cash in
the Tax Collectors office. Every
cent counts there. He feels
directly the exact meaning of
80 or 80 cents tax rate on the
800 assessed on his property,
and these days every little bit
either way makes difference.
Every voter has il in his power
to lower the tax rate by elect

tain retreat. But the Mount Hood
country always has attractions for
the writer and for all such as under
stand and appreciate the luxury Of
life In the open. The extension of
the railroad to that section means
much to the settlers there and to those
seeking cheaper homes than can be
secured In the lower valley. Railroad
connection there will prove an eveneI

The recent freezing and thawiJg

effect on the roads. The clay hills are
working up as they always do and the

of the Davidson hill is very noticea-
bic, proving the fact that gravel will

That a hotel like the
Mount Hood Hotel

is a big drawing card for a
town the size of Hood River?
That a great many of the

Did you ever stop to think
that the stranger forms his
opinion of the town by the

That it takes money, and
lots OF it, to run a place the
size of the Mt. Hood Hotel?
That a meal taken at the
Mt. Hood helps maintain a
first-lass hotel, and gives the
town a good name?
